TALK IS CHEAP, DR, DUMBI, LETS SEE YOU TAKE THOSE TEN PILLS TO PROVE YOUR POINT.

Dr. Dumbi, you'll get lots of followers if only you will show up at a public place and show folks that you mean business by taking those ten pills yourself for all to see. Seeing is believing, Dr. Dumbi, so give a demonstration for folks to see that it really works. Trust me, the people who will gather to watch you take those ten pills will be cheering you on like the hero that you are.

Oboy siki your story is not wholly true. May I ask was your father at the age of 60 was still teaching or driving? How can a bus or a truck slated for 33 passengers can take 77 penssengers? Not 40 or 50. Your story about your father does not make sense. During 1979 and 1981 revolution police did not purnish people it was soldiers Your father might be punish for something else if is true he was lashed. Wise sons don't publish their fathers shameful calamity read Proverbs 20:20, Proverbs 15:1)

It was a practice during PNDC and NDC era that vehicles overload. There were long queues during those day because of non-availability of spare parts and vehicles.
Overloading in those days was in itself an official policy, as a result of non-availability of transport in the country.
Thus, vehicles that load fifteen passengers load 19 passengers.
vehicles that load 45 passengers load 70 passengers and more.
One of Rawlings mismanagement of Ghana's transportation system is that he came and killed rail transport.

There's actually no leader comparable to Rawlings apart from Nkrumah. Rawlings stepped into the gutters to evacuate silt, he helped ferry cocoa alongside students, he worked with tractors on farms, he dove into the Volta River (Scuba diving) during a research. Even normal individuals didn't do these, and we're talking about a head of state!

Rawlings' selflessness and leadership was passionate to a fault and meant more than life for him. The guy was a master of all trades, and hated only by Ashantis because he was Ewe.

We know the history. Anyone coming with any lies can do so, too.

So you said the Police Commander arrested your corrupt father and ordered lashes for him. How does Chairman Rawlings come into this matter?

These people develop amnesia and conveniently chose to ignore the fact that before Rawlings there were Kotoka, Afrifa, Acheampong and the list goes on. They committed atrocities, killed other people to achieve their parochial and selfish ambition. Maybe you have asked your dad what he did.
