    WHY SOME PEOPLE DONT VALUE THE LIFE OF OTHERS...KILLING SUSPECTS IS NOT THE BEST..

  • SGT ANANI FIADZOE 9 years ago

    Kufuor the pen robber is one trillion times worse than the worst armed robber. He masterminded the looting of everything under their care from 2001 to 2008. Yet, NPP idiots still adore him.

    It is therefore ironic that peop ...

    This is the only language thieves and armed robbers understand and I support the lynching of thieves and armed robbers a hundred per cent. If those riding the motor bikes had done nothing wrong why were they fleeing?

  • MAHAMA - DOING MY JOB 9 years ago

    WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL KILLING HUMAN BEING - SOME OF THEM ARE FALSE ACCUSATION AND SOME OF THEM ARE HAVE MENTAL PROBLEMS . BAD TO KILL ANYONE NOT INTEND TO KILL . LET THE LAW OF GHANA WORK BY TAKING THEM TO COURT .

    so, you think a goat is equal to another human being. So your value is equal to a goat, right?

  • chas 9 years ago

    you are the most stupid, unintelligent person I have ever come acros. You are the thief and not Kufuor. Bastard, Aponkyie.

  • insight to the bone 9 years ago

    so was the goat really stolen or not ? where is the owner or this is another ploy by these bloodthirsty lawless pepeni rabble to kill the innocent ?

  • CHE ANDREW 9 years ago

    Behind a PC you can speak like this. If you dare appear before the "lawless pepeni rabble" you will be deaf and dumb. These people take no prisoners if you care to know.

  • insight to the bone 9 years ago

    exactly the point, they should be given their own state so we dont share anything with them .

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 9 years ago

    When will you stop insulting Northners? I have lived in many of the regions in Ghana and have seen people lynched for some petty crimes. If one snatches a mobile phone or a bag at Kejetia, what will happen to him? I have seen ...

    The number of court houses and judges in Ghana are inadequate. The population has ballooned and changes have to be made. The same can be said of the number of police officers and the number of penitentiaries. On a visit to a ...

    People take the laws into their own hands because they do not trust the police and the judiciary too has become corrupt.

    Ghanaians are more likely to forgive and respect the politician who stole their $100m rather than a thief who steals their $10 goat.
