There is nothing of deploying personal of National Service to direct traffic in the cities. However, my question is would the National Service Scheme provide Training regarding roads safety regulations before deploying them?
Oh! One more question. Will they deploy the daughter or the nephew of the minister of state to direct the traffic too?
Does it include the son of minister too?

Yes indeed there is nothing wrong with traffic direction or for that matter any other work that is performed by human beings for the benefit of other humans.We must learn to appreciate the value of every work that involves human effort. That is certainly the way forward in the right direction.

Then get Doctors and nurses to direct traffic. Were these Tertiary students trained for particular purposes. Mahama needs to kick this fool out of his fold. Was he not the same idiot who said National Service people can replace teachers at all levels? Why didn't he do it? Mahama, he just wants you to hear he can talk just like Tony Aidoo and Kofi Wayo. They are all useless in your admn.
Anyway, where is Tony Aidoo, Asiedu Nketia and Kofi Wayo?

I contacted them but they are not interested in that position because that is not what they have been trained for.
Secondly, they are afraid at how Ghana drivers drive on the road. daavi said she can be a minister or deputy for Akple. akorle and adjetey are ready for the Kenkey industry and Serwaa is prepared to take the position of Plantain farms affair. None expressed interest in Akonfemnology.
That director of National service is a twerp. He wants to talk for Mahama to hear his voice. I am sorry Mahama is keeping such people with him.

Ghanaians, we seem to know too much. In other countries, university graduates even look for a job like train conductors and drivers, selling of cell phones and many others we might think they aren`t meant for university graduates. These graduates who do such jobs were not studying for those jobs but they take up because they`d be paid. Is a university graduate not a human being? In other countries again, they turn away from office work and get into farming, poultry and many others we might think they`re odd jobs. Ghanaians know better than any other human being on earth. Who`s a Ghanaian? A black man who doesn`t have any good thing in his or her brain but seems to know better. These same university graduates travel to other countries to do odd jobs because of money.

Schools in the rural areas lack teachers. One of the initial benefits of the National Service Scheme was to use the educated to help educate others. Using the NSS to support directing traffic in the cities is way off the mark. This will achieve nothing more than enable wards of the affluent to continue living in the cities and collect their allowances. Wake up, Ghanaians!!

Exactly! This guy laments about elitist mentality forgetting that this directing traffic is precisely to satisfy the needs of the urban elite. Everything in Ghana is geared to satisfy the needs of the elite in urban areas.

What a bafoon. Spintex Rd is jammed each day because foolish leaders like this guy cant construct bye roads to ease conjestion. For example, three overhead crossroads from Spintex to East Legon or simple diversion from Action Church to Airport may see a significant drop in congestion in that part of the city. Brains are lacking among our leaders. They are merely interested in blaming one another for some idiotic mistakes they could solve with simple application of brains. GUSH.. WHERE IS KWAME NKRUMAH ? I MISS YOUR BRAINS. These two by four leaders are but nothing.

A young couple is out carousing one evening. While driving down the highway the guy says to the girl, "If I go 100 miles an hour, will you take off your clothes?"

She agrees and he begins to speed up. When the spedometer hits 100 she starts to strip. When she gets all her clothes off he is so busy staring at her that he drives off the road and flips the car. The girl is thrown clear without a scratch but her clothes and her boyfriend are trapped in the car. "Go get help.", he pleads.

She replies, "I can't, I'm naked."

He points to his shoe that was thrown clear and says "Cover your snatch with that and go get help."

She takes the shoe, covers herself, and runs to the gas station down the road. When she arrives she is frantic and yells to the attendant, "HELP! HELP! My boyfriend's stuck!"

The attendant looks down at the shoe covering her crotch and replies, "I'm sorry Miss. He's too far in."

Soon the Armed forces will be directing Traffic.

Surely it will be better to use the national service personnel as teachers than traffic wardens. There are a lot of schools without teachers so if Kuagbenu wants to be creative then it does not have to be directing traffic because it is done in Egypt. If all the priority areas have been filled by the service personnel then they can be made to direct traffic but for now they can be better used elsewhere. They should also be used at places to create income so that it will be easier to find the money to pay them. What does "produces 20,000 eggs regularly" mean? Daily, monthly or weekly?

If the Police and the trafic wardens of the national youth employment are not enough, then employ more of the youth to do so. As there been a spillover of service personnel in schools and other needful areas, then they can be added to the police and the traffic wardens. In most cases, the traffic situation is rather created by the traffic wardens.

Ghana will never develop if we have such clueless and visionless leaders if these are the sort of ideas they come up with. How can you expect Service Personnel who have been somehow educated with state resources to direct traffic whilst they could be put to better use to help with the socio-economic development of our nation.

Your line of thinking is un democratic!!! if that is how u guys want to run the country then lets leave it for the coup makers!!police men and women applied for the police job when there were so many other options available to them, with national service the director chooses where u go. he sends the children of the politicians to the offices and those whom he believes are children of the elite to direct traffic.Am sure this guy had a poor up bringing and is hidning behind national service to punish the kids of the so called elite people in society. he must remember that waht goes around comes around. There are still some youth ful RAWLING'S around so lets ne careful in all that we do?? Coups are still possible, check out Central African republic?? aCTIVITIES PERFORMED BY NATIONAL SERVICE PERSONELL MUST NOT BE LEFT TO ANY ONE PERSON, IT should be decided in parliament to avoid people with PUNITIVE MINDSETS FROM VISITING THEIR DREAMS ON THE KIDS OF THEIR PERCEIVED OPPRESSORS!!!!

tHIS man must be stopped. His real agenda is to kill some children of the elite. Unlike the grown ups in the police who undergo about a years training, the service personnel are fragile 21 to 23 year old kids who do not know how to drive and are in most bases below 5feet 2 inches. I only see catastrophe when they are sent into the streets to direct traffic after one or 2 weeks training. The real objective is to kill the kids of the so called elite "dada ba". Am not sure this is how the country wants to go forward. this man must be stopped before its too late!! we dont have to wait till 2 kids are killed on the street before the PRESIDENT will inetervene. The man must be stopped!!!

May God help our dear children in ghana. If people like this are in charge what real skill and knowledge can they cause to be imparted on the young citizenry. Why does he not use the kaya boys to direct traffic. That is real job creation so that school children with no teachers can be taught by these service personnel
If we don't invest in the skills of these young ones we will have people like mama leading us in the future

In Countries like where? I don't seethe need for anyone to do National service, if that is what these guys are up to. I have some of my mates who are stack in the classroom doing teaching jobs as engineers, because they failed to succeed in changing heir postings like I did. It will be a waste if time exposing yourselves to this nasty environmental hazards. Do not do service for Christ sake and it will never affect you in any way.
