    At this point, the state must regulate graveyards either private or public to spare the country the embarrassment because, the black man has proven that, he must be controlled like herds by a shepherd.

    @Game Changer, well said.

  • Jah Cure 10 months ago

    I am in total agreement with you,Game Changer +447935009178. I am however rather curious as to why you would use your mobile number as part of your pen name.

  • Nnamdi 10 months ago

    I fully agree. In fact, funerals must be regulated.

  • Nzema K 10 months ago

    Are you sure that these things are done by rich people. Check how Kofi Annan, JJR, PROF Mills, Nana Konadu etc were buried compared to what we are seeing.

    It's rather the poor who use their meagre income to do these thing ...

  • Demetrius 10 months ago

    Instead of thinking about development and jobs for the youth look at what they are doing for the dead? Why would corruption not flourish in our society.

    Aerial view of the road leading to the cemetery will tell you everything you need to know

  • Kwasi 10 months ago

    Oh Africa and especially Ghana. Are we serious? The countries we borrow from, don't do these stupid things. They invest their money that makes it possible for us to go and borrow. Look at the Europeans, Asians and the Arabs.

  • WELL SAID.STUPID ATTITUDE 10 months ago

  • Musa 10 months ago

    We need to pass laws to regulate burial in Ghana. This madness must cease forthwith

  • AmanorUSA 10 months ago

    This must stop immediately, it is not sustainable as vars land is being wasted. Ghanas population will be 150million in 50 years on the same land size .

  • Koti 10 months ago

    The District and Metropolitan Assemblies must make families who have roofed tombs to pay property rates.

  • Space 10 months ago

    BAAM!!! My brother I was reading through waiting for this and then you said it. Only exorbitant taxes can discourage them. Heavy taxes and they will run away. What nonsense

  • Kofi Atigbl3nla. 10 months ago

    How does this even make sense?

    Are all the members of the families that did these lavish houses called tombstones living very comfortable lives at the moment?

    If yes, then congratulations to them.

  • Samir 10 months ago

    Is it allowed? Who is issuing the permits for this building?

  • Abu 10 months ago

    This is stupid and the law must stop this. Very heavy yearly cemetery building duty must be imposed on those have done these and if they refuse to pay, the building must be demolished. Henceforth, all must stop.

  • Prudhomme - Ghanaians are unintelligent 10 months ago

    The government must immediately initiate a heavy tax regime for buildings in cemetries.

    A simple grave monument must be non-taxable. PERIOD!

  • Eddie 10 months ago

    Pure stupidity. Some black people have no sense of doing things and just do it due to lack of regulation. I see this as horrible and need land for future generation.

  • Kojo 10 months ago

    Y’all should stop insulting those who want to build catacombs or mansions for their dead. Search for countries with such edifices, and Ghana doesn’t come near. Who said those building these structures are poor?

    There is a competition among the town's folks as to what family is rich and can put up the best burial structure, else, why should people waste money for this while some people hardly make ends meet.
