  • GHANABA 7 years ago

    When there was a crime against a British in Ghana the British government acted as if such a thing had never occured in U.K.Ghanaians are killed or are injured by the dozens every year in U.K with no recourse.Any attempt to dr ...

    Ghanaba, where in the UK do you live? Just wondering.

  • Maame grace 7 years ago

    Charles ignore this moron. There are some comments you dont waste your time to add or ask questions.

  • Aba 7 years ago

    Are you normal? What sort of stupid comment is this. A lot of Ghanaians abuse the system left right centre! Examine yourself!

  • yash kugmoor17 7 years ago

    Why leave the door ajar...made the nig a sitting duck....first thing lock the door behind you when as you enter...in the inner city you might need some more krokro....just ask oti blessed

  • Osman 7 years ago

    This is definitely gang related. He is twenty two and a dj to boot. Mother should have ask him if he knows his attackers

  • Charles Higgins 7 years ago

    Some of us are very stupid. How could the mother ask a dying son who shot him? And by the way what is wrong being a DJ?

  • Hidden characters 7 years ago

    It seems stupid people don't recognise they are stupid!

  • Charles Higgins 7 years ago

    An idiot deserves an apt reply.

  • Hidden characters 7 years ago

    Utterance depicts our intelligency!

  • Rene london 7 years ago

    Say that again; he may not even have known his attackers, and the attackers themselves may not necessarily be black either. It could simply be a case of envy and racial hatred.
    Oh oh oh !!!

  • Kweku 7 years ago

    Definitely. Some of the Ghanaian kids in london are up to no good. Sad all round!

  • Charles Higgins 7 years ago

    And are Ghanaian kids in Ghana up to any good? This is the time to sympathise with parents and not point accusing fingers.

  • Kweku 7 years ago

    Totally agree but I was making the point that the parents or some of them don't know what their kids are up to. No different in Ghana!

  • Abeiku SW 2 London 7 years ago

    True

  • Spike 7 years ago

    Difficult to ask a dead man anything!

  • UK CITIZEN 7 years ago

    i think he had problem with his attackers

  • DHURUWAH 7 years ago

    You never know

  • Rita 7 years ago

    What a sad story, it sounds like he didn't know the gunmen. The heartless fools probably mistook him for someone else.

  • Smackdowner928 7 years ago

    This is complete bullshit how this happened. It's not fair. He didn't do anything wrong. This is the empirical reason why I despise people in the 21st century. I pray for his soul right now. May he rest in peace for eternity.

  • Smackdowner928 7 years ago

    Everything Wrong With the People of the 21st Century

    Hahaha Powerful English.i laugh Enter The Bush

  • Jerry 7 years ago

    Why laugh at someone's poor English? It is like laughing at someone trying to non-native trying to speak twi or ewe or Hawusa.

  • Amevor Victory 7 years ago

    You don't have to laugh but correct him.you Ghanaians like that too much.go to England and you will still see people who speak their own English language with mistakes

  • Last card 7 years ago

  • Oscar 7 years ago

    Eiii Joseph,which language were u writing in. Was that suppose to be English.

  • Charles Higgins 7 years ago

    At least I understand his gist unlike others who are so heartless.

  • Charles Higgins 7 years ago

    Oscar,polish your english first before you start correcting others. Read your sentence and you would find mistakes too.

  • Toffey 7 years ago

    Judge not, Oscar. You also "gbaa" with your "Was that suppose to be English"

  • Ras 7 years ago

    Hey Oscar, check your own grammar before you critique somebody else's language skills. This is the correct version of what you wrote: "Was that supposed to be English?"

  • junior k 7 years ago

    Joseph has introduce his own language called English patoa so don't worry yourself@Oscar

  • GIDIGBA 7 years ago

    Why, oh, why?

  • kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk 7 years ago

    RIP....He was not a Ghanaian by the way. His parent were from Ghana not him. Ghanaians need to stop claiming everything anyhow

  • Charles Higgins 7 years ago

    Couldn't he have had a dual citizenship? Some people just draw to conclusions without thinking. And how do you know "his parents were from Ghana not him"? Do you know the parents? Don't sit behind your laptop and behave you k ...

  • Kofi K 7 years ago

    Why they didn't kill the mother is a proof that they came purposely to kill the guy.

  • Kofi K 7 years ago

    The dead guy was a DJ and we know what DJs do best...womanizing. I can bet that the guy was murdered by a jealous bad guy.

  • Ben 7 years ago

    The mother did not say anything about the color of the kilkers? Anyway, if it were a hate crime, they would have shot the mother, too.

    There is one thing people must be aware of,that is even though the victim was killed in Uk does not mean that he was killed by citizens of Uk without evidence to that effect.
