MAHAMA IS BARAWO BANZA
Mahama is so heartless, wicked and corrupt that he wouldn’t blink stealing from a helpless orphan. Please read the following:
Ghana’s President Hurls Insults At Obasanjo At African Forum In London - bloomberg
There was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year. This infuriated President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger, called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “silly buffoon”.It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room. The forum, which takes place from 1st to 3rd December is attended by African Heads of States, Ministers, Private equity firms and investors to discuss opportunities for investment and development in African Economies.

Culled from Bloomberg.

Typical of the Ghanaian, no vision until the wrong is done. Roland Walker must first be arrested for not complying, implementing and doing the right the right thing, nonsense.

You start by being a mate of a trotro driver, graduate to washing the trotro and then get promoted to driving the trotro without any license,you then think you can drive any moving vehicle because you have driven a trotro for sometime.
It reminds me of when i took a taxi to Kwabenya and we got to a one way, the taxi driver started driving through it in the opposite direction on the one way.
I alerted him about the one way sign and the taxi driver said and i quote ''massa eye one way but yebekor, ekwaye da hor ''. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
There are so many ignorant and unlicensed drivers on our roads and it's about time the police stopped extorting money from them and start prosecuting them.
One day it could be your child at the mercy of those dodgy drivers.

So the road signs are there as decorationsm right? How do you allow somebody who does NOT understand road sign to drive on public roads?

WHEN? WHEN? OH! WHEN? Are we ever going to realize that the lack of implementations of OUR LAWS, is what is causing these accidents and many deaths on OUR roads!!!!

It's all well and good to blame bad drivers, bad roads and bad vehicles but, the major issue is what is the deterrent? What stops the drivers from doing the wrong things? What stops the road constructors, engineers and maintenance services from doing the wrong things?

If these things are checked thoroughly by LAW before the outcome of a menace, lives would be saved and we will not be discussing these frequent occurrences.

The police should STOP taking bribes from drivers and car owners if and when they break the LAW!!!! PERIOD!
And the politicians should and must stop interfering with the LAW and allow the authorities to WORK!!!!

The overloading of trucks and cars on our roads is so glaring for the police and law enforcers to see. So, my question is why is NOTHING being done? We even have children directing traffic in the night. OH! MOTHER GHANA? WHEN?

And yet we have Phd holders who speak 'BIG, BIG ENGLISH'........so my question is why pursue such so-called education, if we can't implement the knowledge acquired????

GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!

Road signs are vital communications for drivers. How could they function without road signs. Ghana appears to be causal re road sings implementation. This is a cause for concern.

Drivers are stubborn: What is the duty og Ghana's Traffic Police? It is the duty of the Traffic police to monitor drivers over the use of the flyover to avoid accidents.

Roland's comment is rather unfortunate. How many educational programs have been held on the TV and radio on driving on and around the circle flyover.

roland walker or sleeper or whatever is also a disgrace to himself. Ghanaians must begin to realized that the fact that you are a good news caster does not qualify you to be any spokesperson for such a sensitive organization because roland waLKER should be at least a qualified technical person. 78% of articulator in Ghana are simply not road worthy but useless people like MTTU and DVLA allow such trucks apply on our roads.

In the first place, who issued driving permits to drivers who do not undersatnd road signs and seconldly, who allow drivers who understand road signs but ignore them?

In both cases it is the state (DVLA, MTTU, Police, Politicians etc).

If a driver is too stubborn to abide by regulations, simply revoke their driving permits, instead of allowing them to cause accidents result to deaths, injuries and destruction of property

Ghanaians love finger pointing. Any structure requires safely measures a problematic situation the government should put in place now.

How can they seriously construct the circle flyover in a way that not all vehicles can pass underneath? Ghana corruption is to blame one more time.

You can't blame the driver alone but blame the AMA and MTTU for not providing CCTV and also police motor riders to identify the risk of drivers with load using the flyover and stop them from the start point
