  • Kitty 10 years ago

    Where in the article did it mention the burial of NDC members in this cemetery? Talk some sense.

  • ASO 10 years ago

    You sound like a fool from the fools paradise. When people are talking about important matters, you bring in a matter which is not related to it. That was why you failed your final exam in school. FOOL IN CAPITAL LETTERS.

  • Vic 10 years ago

    Akadu grow up! If this serious situation is not that important to you, simply keep your opinion to yourself. Don't make a mockery out of this.

  • Benash 10 years ago

    Folks why can't you see that this is NOT Akadu Mensema. Some idiotic twerp and a sissy who wants Akadu to be hated for everything is using her name. As much as Akadu likes to comments of articles especially political ones I k ...

    THIS WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE WE GHANAINS ARE THE MOST STUPID PEOPLE. PLACES DESIGNATED FOR GRAVEYARDS HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGED UPON WITH THE CONIVANCE OF THE A.M.A. WE ALL KNOW WE WILL DIE BUT WE DON'T HAVE GRAVEYARDS. THE GOVERNMENT ...

    This has been going on at Awudome why is it a big story now? Is it because it's Osu? Grave looting or illegal exhumation regardless of where it's done poses very serious health hazard to general population. It also shows a la ...

    Ghanaians should use their common sense.
    Why can't we emulate what the Muslims do. They do simple burial without cementing and casting to allow several dead persons to be buried on the same piece of land for a long time.This ...

    Ghana has become so criminally corrupt with unbearable social economic hardships that we no more even have respect for the dead.

    This president has lost focus, Osu people should stand and fight for their own land. We need a Leader to save our precious land. We are losing a lot to the state.

  • Akadu Mensema 10 years ago

    We Ghanaians can't preserve anything! I live in a place in the USA where graves dated 1700 still exist. The cemetery is kept neat and every year flowers are put on the graves!

  • Shame on Government 10 years ago

    It is very sad, how we Ghanaian are so proud of our culture and bury our families with dignity. Go to osu cemetery and you will be sad, you can't walk to visit a grave, there is poop all over, and drug dealers camps. Most of ...
