  When a political party born by juju and human blood rules a nation, God curses that nation. The NDC and the Ewes need white man's blood for their juju as usual. No wonder it happened in Volta Region.

  I seriously question the state of minds of NDC apologists. Just on WHAT basis would a sound minded patriotic individual will follow a "party" borne out of unneccesary blood shed and loot?
  
  NDC is packed with slow-thinking people. It will take them the rest of their lives to figure out the agenda Rawlings and his tribal kilth and kin have placed there. If you doubt it just locate the answer in "why" almost ALL Ewes voted for NDC? The answer of the tribal agenda lies in that question!!

  Kwasia, who told you that you are a real Ghanaian? That person might be kidding you, how can you be real when you came in just 1956 and what about those who formed the Gold Coast in the 1800s.Do you know Dr.Nkrumah regretted later for allowing you to be part of his people? And do you know what he was going to do next after coming back home from Hanoi? You better shut up, he Dr. Nkrumah didn't know your people because he had stayed outside Ghana for a long time and when he accepted them and found them giving too much trouble he had another thought about them.Akrantie is a healthy meat than a pig who eat's human faeces, if you can't match somebody you start giving names to the person and nothing will change we survived Rawlings brutal rule and still we are who we are.Long live Akans.

  This is a very shameful episode in Ghana. Imagine Ghana's Chief Justice went to Moscow and was involved in an accident on a nondescript road without official security detail, while the Asantehene junkets to London on a Presidential jet!!!
  
  Our road system is a death trap, and our police is the most corrupt institution in Ghana.
  
  Anyway, we are still jubilating over a very useless case of political deceit.

  Though this could be a very unfortunate accident, it is the direct result of the indiscipline on Ghanaian roads as well as Ghanaians' poor time keeping. I understand the GBA programme was late and the driver was probably speeding to Accra to make time for his scheduled appointment with the President. Knowing that they had such foreign dignitary with heavy engagement for the day as guest, GBA should have ensured that they were on time.
  
  Those in authority must enforce roads and traffic regulations and ensure sanity on Ghanaian roads before one day, the President is lost in a road accident due to carelessness. May God forbid.

  I'm surprised the Government is acting and responding to this accident as if this is the first of its kind in Ghana. Thousands have lost their lives to such RECKLESS DRIVING and FAULTY VEHICLES on Ghana roads than any disease in Ghana. We have always acted with indifference when this happens but ask the families and loved ones who have lost somebody and they will tell you their stories of pain. Till this nation becomes serious about maintenance (roads and trucks/cars), this embarrassment will not be the last.

  Yes the AFRC/P/NDC of all this years, what have they done to improve our daily life? Nothing. Lucky for the Russia guy, if he was a Ghanaian he will be dead by now. Ask Pres. MILLS if he had invested in HEALTHCARE system in our country, he will have been alive by now. Because, lack of critical thinking as the Majority Leader in Parliament, Dr. Benjamin Kumbour said there is nobody thinking in Ghana. No projective thinking in none of our LEADERS. Bad ROADS, DUMSOR DOMSOR, DRINKING WATER problems. Everywhere you look there is problems. Bad governance as you said, looking out for their own stomach without thinking it will affect them in future. Backward thinking has become the new NORM in Ghana.

It is good the Russian gov't is sending an air ambulance because our hospitals are a death trap. Our thieves, sorry politicians troop to Europe or US with the least rash or malaria, and leave the ordinary Ghanaian to their fate when sick. Didn't we see what happened to our late President.

  Ghanaians copy everything Western or European for example pants sagging. Why can't the Dept of Motor Vehicle(l don't what it is in Ghana)copy and introduce the system of written and driving skills tests before drivers licenses are issued. This will go a long way to eliminate unqualified drivers from our roads.The Dept should also update the current driving study material. The roads markings should be updated and old drivers should be given refresher course before their licenses are renewed. Its time to copy the good driving habits to reduce the senseless accidents on our roads. l also suggest more strongly the introduction of issuance of traffic violation tickets with appropriate fines and suspensions of licenses depending on the severe nature of the traffic offence for example DWI(Driving While Intoxicated). Over to you Joe Lartey.
