Let us pray Nana will be elected and the bridge will surely be repaired.Mahama is only interested in looting and share by inflating prices like Kumasi airport.

I thought Nana was in power for eight years. Did he not know about the bridge? Better yet, did the chiefs of the area not notice the bridge needed rehabilitation then? What kind of politics is this? The fact is that, this situation is the same every where in Ghana.

Did Rawlings solved all the problems of Voltarians when he was in power for 19yrs?Is it bcos they did not vote for NDC so they don't have the right to complain?Does the resources of the state belong to John Mahama & NDC?

The notion of blaming a particular government for a long lasting problem is wrong. I wish you took a trip to the Volta region and see the roads there even though they vote NDC. The national cake belongs to the whole people to ...

The notion of blaming a particular government for a long lasting problem is wrong. I wish you took a trip to the Volta region and see the roads there even though they vote NDC. The national cake belongs to the whole people to share but when it is too little to go round, we must be a bit understanding than demanding the LION share.

Did Rawlings solve all the problems of Voltarians? THAT SHOULD TELL YOU THE BIG DEVELOPMENT ISSUES BEFORE US AND THAT SOLVING IT IS NOT AN ETHNIC ISSUE.

A female reporter, interviewing an Eastern Region chief, asked the significance of the
Varied number of feathers in Akyem headdresses.

"Feathers show number of sexual partners," the chief replied. Indicating a nearby young brave,
He continued, "Him? One woman, one feather. Him ?" pointing to a second, older man,
"Three women, three feathers."

The reporter looked at the Chief's headdress. "But you have so many feathers!"

The Chief proudly slapped his chest. "Me Chief. Sleep with all women. Big, small, fat, tall."

Horrified, the female reporter said, "You ought to be hung!"
The Chief said, "Damn right. Me hung big like Elephant, long like snake."

The offended reporter said, "You don't have to be hostile!"

The Chief replied, "Hoss-style, dog-style, fox-style, any style!"

The reporter cried, "Oh, dear!"

"No deer", said the Chief. "Ass too high, run too fast!"

Great, Prince! After reading about these useless leaders profiteering from the destruction of Ghana's natural resources. They could rebuild the bridge with the timber from any one of those trucks.

This is the tribal war Mahama and NDC is waging against Akans. The destruction total of Akans territories , by lack of modern aminities , the restrictions of their movements, as well as an embargo on their foodstuffs due to bad roads. The 3 Akyems are the victims of this fake gouverment that buries even local projects in the name of trbalism. We have not forgotten when Mahama named Kyebi in Akim Abuakwa ,the capital of galamesy. What has he done or propose as a solution . We sit and observe a self made president full of hate for those who knows what is best for themselves. Mahama's time is shorter than his stolen 4 years of grace. We shall see what Akans , the backbone of ghana's economy will propose to his final exist ! The local authorities could seek for private funds in aid from local or international organisations to service this bridge. Please !

Your so called Akan is a minority in Ghana wholistically, including even the fantes and the minority rest -nsema, brongs etc- SO CONTINUE PLAYING THE TRIBAL CARD BECAUSE YOU WILL LOOSE JUST LIKE THE LAST ELLECTIONS WHERE THE OTHER TRIBES GANGED UP ON YOUR INWARD LOOKING PARTY AND PEOPLE- I.E ASHANTIES AND AKYEMS and you had to save your face by wasting the countries time and money in some USELESS court case for 9 months of mahama government. I BET BY AKAN YOU MEAN TWI?? DONT YOU MR BIGOT. NDC IS THE PARTY THAT GENERALLY ALL GHANA TRIBES VOTE FOR- I ASK YOU PARTY TO RATHER TO BE PRO NON INWARD LOOKING- A WORD TO THE WISE IS?????

Douglas, am not an Akan but you're the most useless person on this platform to have labeled Akans as stupid. All sensible Ghanaians will agree with me.

The bridge is very old indeed,from the year 1950 to 2015 is 61 years not 50 years as indicated by the writer,oh poor journalism,those reporters must not forget their simple arithmatic.Now let s talk about the maintenance of the bridge which is very important for the economic development of the area which inter connects the western corridor and the trade root to Kumasi the capital of the Ashanti region which underpins Ghanas economic stabilization in terms of gold,cocoa,food items and other extractions which beef up our ailling economy, and keeping deaf ears to the maintenance of the bridge will not only to loss of economic manifestation but also life and property in the near future.The Government should take serious view of the plight of this bridge as it accorded the Akosombo bridge which is equally important in terms of economic development of the people of the area and Ghana as a whole.
