GHANA SWEET PAAA! The victims of these phone 'snatching' are lucky. In Kasoa, people are 'missing' their penises. Anyway, when you hand over your phone to somebody, you can't call it snatching, can you? The last time I dingle a chicken before a crocodile, it snapped it up!

Another lady just took a taxi dropping from airport where she works to Accra Newtown and upon getting to Pawer house, the driver said get down right now immediately I have someone to pick up. Just don't pay hurry up and go. Meanwhile the door was locked and as she was struggling to open it, he removed and took away her iPhone. She called me for lift because she is a friend and after sitting inside she tried to make a call and log and behold her phone was taken away by the driver.

All Nigerians Should Be Sack From The Country. They Are Not Safe To Live With Human Beings. They Are Just Animals And Cannibals Who Feeds On Human Flesh. They Are Not Even Respected In Their Own Country Especially The Idbo Biafra Tribes. The Bad Nut Among The Biafrans Are The Tribe Called [Immissey]. How Can You Know Them. Is Better You Sack All Of Them Out Of Ghana Before They Killed All Our Innocent Children.

Ghanaians are just vicious. We are our own enemies. We ourselves have created this evil and unfriendly society we live in. I was in America and needed to place a call for a friend to come pick me up at the Airport. I asked for the phone of a total stranger and a white for that matter and without hesitation allowed me to use their phones. But come down here and look at how we're turning such kind gestures into? It's a pity.

Why would someone with this car snatch a phone from another trekking on foot? The whole system called Ghana is failing.
