    If anyone comes to my property with bulldozer I will kill the person because I have a right in the constitution to protect my property,is my right as property owner,stupid NDC PARTY,THIEVES.

  • DusTY-FooT-pHiloSophER 9 years ago

    What has NDC got to do with the topic above? If you are living legally on your own property, then why even entertained the jitters of bulldozer coming to your abode to commence demolition? A lot of bozos like your stupid self ...

    The truth is that in Ghana, land does not really ever belong to anyone.

    Today it is these poor guys who are the victims, tomorrow it will be the ones who are demolishing the property who will be crying.

    My problem is that when an item is stolen, the police arrest the thief and any buyer. If the land is not for them then someone stole it and sold it to them. This makes the seller a thief. What is government doing about chiefs ...

  • K.B Holland 9 years ago

    What a wonderful world. The government can't build for us to rent it or buy them and if individuals try to do on their own then is another trouble.
    One of the main problem is our lands commission and their leaders.

    RATHER UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES, BECAUSE NO ONE CARES. Homelessness is next to citizen-lessness. At least, offer some compensation, or relocation to those dear unfortunate Ghanaian citizens.

  • HAWA 9 years ago

    I think Gov't must stop the demolitions and give the people another opportunity to repurchase the land.

  • ASEM BEBA DABI 9 years ago

    UNREASONABLE THINKING AT ITS BEST. WHY DON'T YOU CONFISCATE THE ASSETS AND USE IT FOR SOMETHING ELSE. WHEN YOU ARE THING OF BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSES, YOU ALSO ARE DEMOLISHING WHAT IS BUILT BY INDIVIDUALS.

    These so called affordable buildings or projects only create social classes. Are they going to be good enough for the ruling class and their families to live in?

    NDC is bench of cruel people. They are engineering all these demolishing exercises. They pull people house down and put up fuel stations on the land.
    Ghanaians should blame themselves for voting for NDC.

  • Michael K. Tettevi 9 years ago

    It is better to obtain a building permit before starting development to avoid all these troubles.

  • Ona 9 years ago

    Ghanaians will never learn. According to this report the person paid for the land two times. So even this should tell u something. Some pple lack thinking.
