    First and foremost, every freaking fuck face has migrated from their village and encroached on Ga lands sold to them by stupid ignorant chiefs. An equal number of people from all over the nation have come to squat on any patc ...

    Which people's money was used to build Accra? It is the wealth of the village people.

  • Shabi 10 years ago

    Obviously you are not very educated Citizen One. If you were, you would understand why as you put it, 'every freaking fuck has migrated from their village and encroached on Ga lands'.

    I have heard similar daft sentiments b ...

    Were we hiding under umbrellas when God was distributing wisdom?

    THIS STUPID SIMPSON ANIM BOATENG SHOULD BE SACKED IMMEDIATELY FOR LYING TO THE PUBLIC.AMA NOT ALLOWING THE ACT IS DIFFERENT FROM PEOPLE ACTUATING THE ACT.
    HE DOES NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND THE ENGLISH HE USED.

  • Shabi 10 years ago

    As for the cliche God-fearing people that Ghanaians love to spew out, forget about it. I think we should change it to God-fooling people.

    However what annoys me even more fr the mess at the cemetery is for people like Dr ...

    Where are the thinking minds at AMA? If the cemetary is at full capacity, simply find another piece of land for burial purposes. We have plenty of land in Ghana. We should not repeat what was done at Mile 7 or 11 near Weij ...

  • Kodiaber 10 years ago

    There is no laws in Ghana and everyone is doing what he or she likes.The Leadership is weak and nobody is in charge.AMA does not know what their duties and this is the result.

    Is the Osu cemetery for people of Osu or Ghana?Is it a national cemetery?The AMA must build a new cemetery for the new migrants from other region to allow the dead folks from Osu to Rest in Peace.

  • JB Ansong 10 years ago

    In a town I lived before, it was 25 years, after that the remains would be removed. Within that 25 yeras, if the familiy ...
