    I am sure when his wounds heal, he will rather start his own plantain farm. Good lesson learned the bad way.

    Mahama only made him hungry. He never asked him to go steal from the equally hungry poor farmer. The farmer probably had also planned to celebrate Christmas with his hard earned plantain with his loved ones and got furious wh ...
