our so called education free or not is a shame due to the bugga bugga policies of the ndc . the mentality it has created is one of willfulness with no regard for law and order. just look at the fools of legon and their mindset in this matter of tolls , so now everyone who repairs the pot holes in front of his house should now consider setting up tolls to rob his fellow citizens , what a message ? the rule of law is only reserved for some like gen mosquito who has now become the richest man in Ghana due to a court case , but the thousands of businesses that are being collapsed everyday due to corruption and theft can not even dare put their cases in court as the buga buga atubuga clan there will only rubbish their cases. what a sorry state of affairs we can only go back to preparing our revolution and war to get rid of the menace as these lot are determined in the ignorant stupidity to ruin everything . it all started with nkrumah and his president for life bigger than God attitude

I've been at odds with you many times but I must admit that this is a nice piece! Keep it up! I'm ready to reward you by treating you with breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner if you so wish! There're so much injustices in our African society that sometimes one wonder if our existence is just a joke!

do you see why Mr. Rawlings killed the judges during the revolution time, they were so corrupt in their judgments. today, that is exactly what we are again experiencing in Ghana. the writer of this article says, the government is protecting Woyome, but its rather due to the corruption and inefficiencies in our judiciary system that is protecting them. there are so many people being accused and charged for corruption and stealing, however, there are set to go free by the judges because they couldn't find evidence to sentence them.

Farmers are commonly jailed. A teacher who defiled a 13 year-old girl was set free. With the same offence a farmer was jailed for 8 years. Why only farmers are jailed.

In a village, they had a rule that says "if anyone is caught stealing, the person will be asked to pick a fruit and 50 of that fruit will be shoved up his/her ass At once/the same time. but as they are shoving the fruit up the ass you must not laugh, if you do your head will cut off immediatly".
So they caught these three thieves trying to steal money. so they were asked to go get a fruit each(folowing the rules).
The first thief brought oranges...and they started shoving 50 of it in his butt at the same time, so he died.
The Second thief brought grapes(which was very small). but as they started shoving it up his ass, he started laughing so they cut his head off.
When he got to heaven, the first thief was very upset with him and was like why was he laughing because he wouldnt have died since the grapes were very small. the second thief still laughing was like "you dont understand". the first thief was like "Understand what?" then the second thief replied i saw the third thief bringing a large coconut....

Politicians who steal our money and engage in shady deals while in office, because of their wealth and abilities to influence and buy justice loudly threaten to sue and in some cases demand huge sums of money from whistleblowers and good citizens who bare them out.

THIEVES !! They buy fleets of cars and houses with our stolen money and want these corrupt judges to punish the good citizens for bringing their dirty dealings out in public.

THIEVES !!! The BNI must question and dig to find where any past politician got money to buy if he owns more than four cars and two houses. THIEVES !! Their insatiable appetite drives them more and more into persuing their greed each day. They obstruct the even flow of justice and connive with other corrupt officials to steal Ghana's money.

Now we have nothing left as a nation once proud as a leader with ability to even lend Guinea money to sustain hardship bequethed to them after attainment of independence by their wicked colonial masters.

Now where do we stand ? Corrupt politicians and judges have brought this country to its knees. This cassava thieve could have worked his way up without stealing had there been opportunity available to him for employment. The foolish and ignorant politicians do not think about that. They only care about how to buy big cars for themselves and family. THIEVES !!!!

Law makers' children don't steal cassava, they loot nations. In UK for instance, the classification of drugs is always argued strictly because most law makers' children are into it. So to criminalise certain drugs like heroin means children from these so-called power-makers will get criminal record to affect their future work prospects in politics. There we go.

In the U.S. a 17 years old Negro was killed for walking at night. The murderer who was welding a gun said in court that the youth hit him with a brick. In self defense he did not shot the youth in the arm or leg but right into his heart. Just two weeks ago a U.S. citizen said that the Negroes and the poor have no access to justice in the U.S. courts because they do not have the money to hire a good lawyer.

I side with you on this one. The rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. The rich goes free and the poor gets jailed. The judges, lawyers, police and the court system all work for, and are being controlled by the rich whiles the poor control only themselves. You see, the poor steals cassava from another poor neighbor, while the rich steals from the government and the people's chest. You pay when you steal from the poor and go free when you steal from the government 'coz, it is free if you can do it. No rich man is going to jail another rich man coz they're all bululu. They work to protect each other and punish you if you try to follow in their foot steps. Why? 'coz you're not one of them.

Cassava Thieves Jailed! Woyome is still Free!
