So, how many Nigerians in GH now? Is this what some are teaching Ghanaians to do? As some Nigerians whom broke large pipelines in Nigeria to steal oil have now moved to Ghana as well...no doubt!

Ghanaians cant learn anything from Nigerians, they are master cheats. Stop blaming Nigerians, whites and take a look at ourselves.

Thanks to Ghana Immigration, anyone can just walk into the country and stay for the rest of their lives. 50% of Madina's population are Malians, Nigerians and Burkinabes.

What do you expect when the government itself is stealing from the people. These folks have no choice but to do the same. it is unfortunate that Vodafone has become a victim. The government needs to create jobs to reduce this type of crimes. As long as the government steals from the people, the people will also steal from someone. The stalemate continues.

You are right my friend,why should customs have the power to stop and seize a vehicle on road because they suspect the duty was not paid? This is the duty of Police.If goods are cleared from the ports customs have no jurisdiction on them anymore unless Police calls them for verification.If you don't trust the police how can you trust customs?

GT suffered similar fate but they took jut a few days to replace stolen cables but you are taking 3 weeks and i know it would be more.What about the damage to cables as a result of road construction?,have you dealt with those?UG Legon is cut off and crying for services.When we were running GT we had our own ways of stamping out these challenges ,small girls they dont know the thing but they are playing with the thing''This time you wont blame the ex staff for the theft of cable right,we are waiting to sue you the next time you do that ,we have moved on and don't have time for your miserable cables.Even your wireless service is bad so who is responsible for that too?.

When one is talking about job creation, i think it is obvious that the outfit have to be extensive. The need for individuals to be vigilant is all, what the words partriotic means. We have to go about this probles of stepping up the security in a verey wise way by first of all uniforming the authorized workers of the communication sector and aswell identification pass to enable the general public practise there mandate of vigilance when? that can help step up the security.
The other related problems which can occure in effect of this distructive acts has to be make clear to the citizens as well since all this infrastructer are helping tremendously in fighting organizes crimes in the nation.
What is more, i think we have to be constructive some of the times when contributing our minds and thaughts to situation of such nature.

I am of the option, that the communication agencies must help a little more in provieding jobs in the nation since the hoopping amount of money spent on the repears and reconstruction of all this damages being inflicted on them could have been injected wisely in the economy as payment to employees for jobs created.This can make a great significance in the country.

On the other hand we have to defecate from the attitude of pointting fingers at people talkless about other nationals in Ghana when there are no prooves or charges being put on the table against any individual or a national of other nation (ECOWAS) for haveing causing such damages.

We all have to know, that is our nation and little facilities like that is what makes the difference.

This is part of the foundation in building a compactible security arms to make the nation secured against all criminalities one can think or dream of.

Communication is one of the most important segment in the morden day socity and need to be given a due attention.
