I can't believe today is exactly 36years since the Abonsam fireman, son of Lucifer JJ Rawlings burst on the scene to push our country into the doldrums. 36years and this buffoon called Togbui Kwashivi Avuukoklo Rawlings is still meddling in our affairs. The bastard have an insatiable need and urge to be in the news and limelight as if he is the one in charge, ordering ministers and even vice-president around.
It very clear to me that if Ghana had discovered commercial quantity of oil during his rule, this power addict will have found ways to do away with term limit and stay on for ever. And surprisingly he would have the stupid enablers to let him hang on.
Just go away Julo Jato Rawlings. 36 years and running we are tired of reading and hearing of you. Let no fool go out there to celebrate that catastrophe day called June 4th. 1979 to date is too long to still be in the news. You are the worst thing that happened to Ghana in the last 50years if you ask me. Get lost and let Mahama shine instead of always trying to take spotlight away from him. Shut the fuck up. Enough of your congratulatory messages and appearances at public events as if you are helping the president to administer the country. What is your problem, being so addicted to be in the news? 36 years is enough. Let us focus on others too.

Dear JJ, you could have solved this avoidable situation in your 20 years of governance.

There were ample reasons for a probe when Rawlings house at Ridge was burnt. Who probed you. That is why I always say that, this idiot sees him self as god. A stupid man like Rawlings who said that he does not fear God, but respect Him.
Rawlings is getting insane gradually. His evils he did are after him real bad. His family and friends should put this mad man in cage and let him go nto hibernation. That will help this idiot, instead letting him speak his rotten mind.

The flyover that John Mahama said he is building at circle, did he factor in it's effect on flooding and what did do with respect to the drainage system and it's construction first and foremost, knowing the flooding situation around the Kwame Nkrumah Circle area? Because the intensity of the floods especially around where the Goil station was engulfed in fire from the leak as it is being reported was unusually heavy.
So did the Mahama NDC gov't factor all these before deciding to construct that flyover, and is there a drainage system around the flyover which has been constructed and carrying flood water away from Kwame Nkrumah Circle?
The Goil fire was from the flooding and a leak forming an oil or fuel in water emulsion which then triggered the inferno leading to the death of over 100 Ghanaians and still counting.
However, the flyover, lack of drainage system around that flyover, leading to the flooding and mixed up with the leak from oil and fuel from the Goil filling station triggered the fire. The spark could have come from lightening.

THAT IT IS BEYOND MY PERSONAL RELATED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT "HOW THE WEATHER CRAFTERS CLEARLY DIFFERENT FROM METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE WEATHER MEN/WOMEN WHO CLEARLY USED SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AND EQUIPMENTS TO DETERMINE THE WEATHER".
HOWEVER, THE SAME CANNOT BE SAID ABOUT "THE WEATHER CRAFTERS AND WHICH POWERS THEY USED TO CRAFT THE WEATHER IS BEYOND MY PERSONAL COMPREHENSION".
IT IS THEREFORE VERY IMPORTANT AND IMPERATIVE TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE ACCRA FLOODING AND FIRE DISASTER AT THE SAME TIME ARE NATURAL OR HUMANLY CREATED?

Yes, investigate the Goil fire/explosion by all means. Some people will get allowances out of it, won't they? Then shelve their report!
Especially if it uncovers neglegence and/or corruption.
Got instance: Who gave the permit for the Goil station to be constructed in an area where there are scores of residences and shops? What fire extinguishing facilities are required as a compulsory apparatus that every fuel station must have? Are they ever inspoectyed, oif tghey exist?

Somehow the flood water entered the underground fuel storage tanks at the Circle Goil filling station to displace the stored fuel. This means Goil management failed to properly secure the underground oil storage tanks. The fuel oil being less dense than water, floated on top of the raging flood waters. All surviving eye witness accounts state that the fire disaster was ignited downstream of the Goil station. This implies that the fuel oil storage tanks were not air-tightly sealed. The lesson learnt here is that Safety Protocols and public education must be strictly enforced at all Gas stations, LNG depots, Commercial, industrial and domestic gas installations, etc across the country.

What has happened to all the "probes" that have occurred previously? We know what the issues are, how about we fix them, instead of paying someone to tell us what they are?
No need , we had USA guys advising us on the market fires. Where are the findings and recommendations. Ghana for you. Someone got a share of the contract and the report is gathering dust nothing implemented. Another commissi ...

And most of them are here, spewing vile....What Rawlings said should have been said by the prez himself BEFORE anyone else....but imcompetence and tribal hatred has blinded a lot of already superstitious Ghanains. FOOLS!
The flyover that John Mahama said he is building at circle, did he factor in it's effect on flooding and what did do with respect to the drainage system and it's construction first and foremost, knowing the flooding situation ...

We Ghanaians must get to know the meaning of that deadly day June,4 th.According to records ,in every year ,bad things happen in June 4th.
Another animal called Paul Gaisie,the deaths occurred on Wednesday June 3rd in the evening not even late night.
Even other animals know why Accra was flooded and why the city is always flooded but anytime they want to pull b ...

Bribery and Corruption
Can Rawlings please keep quiet for a while? I think he is the worst type of a leader. Can those close to him advise him please?
To date, the murder of the three judges under his directive has never been probed. Where is the report of the SIB that you set up? Why was it never released to the public. Why did some members of the Board either retired from ...

oh no
Rawlings should just sit down and this ; is this inferno a coincidence in Ghana besides what will an investigation achieve .
Its June 4 Rawlings and his men are still in power and we are counting our dead. The fight to take back our country continues unabated. Remembrance day, we are bruised and bloodied but not defeated.
IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN IN GERMANY OR ISRAEL
ASK THEM HOW
TEXAS FLOOD WILL SINK ENTIRE GHANA .
It looks like we are just thinking of food without thinking.
We know the problems and the solutions. People have built on water ways, poor drainage and waste management systems, choking of gutters etc. Ehat else do we need t ...

It is the replica of 1979, when senselessly with the support of Ghanaians lined up innocent men for the slaughter. I hope you will not mention it any more, for the so called values have not been upheld by your own party. Let ...

Rawlings go away and get lost. Ghana is tired of you. You are not the fucking president. You messed up Ghana by selling off all the state owned factories to cronies. You messed up the education system by introducing SSS. I am ...

Who is in charge;JJ or Mahama?
THUMBS UP
MAHAMA GAVE BRIBE TO BE A PRESIDENT AND THAT IS THE RESULT PERIOD
THE TOGOLESE SON OF A PROSTITUDE BASTARD BITCH
The EPA shouldn't have given a permit in the first place. No where in the world is a filling station side in the middle of such a had to maneuver center.
DEAR READING PUBLIC OF GHANAWEB.COM,
IT IS SAID NOW AND AGAIN THAT "AN ACT OF GOD CANNOT BE BLAMED ON ANYBODY BUT SOME ACTS ARE HUMANLY CREATED AND THEREFORE CAN OR COULD BE BLAMED ON THOSE WHO CAUSED THE DISASTER ACT".

GHANA - DUMSOR IS THE PROBLEM FOR ALL THE FIRE.
Very wise and sensible suggestion. Tham you Papa JJ. Perhaps an opposition party was behind the fire disaster. When NPP was in opposition they said the killing of women would end if they assume power. Surprisingly it stopped. ...

Tell Rawlings to shut the fuck up.What did he do when he was in power? All the politicians should be lined up and shot at the Teshie Military range.
Somehow the flood water entered the underground fuel storage tanks at the Circle Goil filling station to displace the stored fuel. This means Goil management failed to properly secure the underground oil storage tanks. The fu ...
