When will we get there?

Come guys, this is easy to do, where is the Minister of Communications?

GHANAIAN AUTHORITY SHOULD REDUCE THE TEN DIGIT EMERGENCY LINES TO THREE OR FOUR DIGITS TO MAKE IT MUCH EASIER AND FASTER FOR PEOPLE TO USE IN CASE OF ATTACK WHEN THEIR LIVES ARE AT RISK.

BLESSED ONES OF THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD, DIGNIFIED PEOPLE OF AFRICA, NOBLE PEOPLE OF GHANA; FOR THE SAKE OF GHANA, MAY I BRING SOME "UNDERSTANDING" TO MY PRECIOUS ONE "XYZ" REGARDING HIS COMMENT.
HUMANITY; ON (JUNE 3RD 2015), A GHANAIAN GAVE AN ADDRESS AT THE US (WHITE HOUSE): THE RESIDENT OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA BETWEEN 10:30AM -11:00 AM (USA TIME) EXPOSING CRIMES AGAINST THE STATES OF GHANA, AMERICA AND HUMANITY AND THE COVERING UP OF THE CRIMES THEREOF BY THE PERPETRATORS OF THE CRIMES. AFTER THE ADDRESS ON JUNE 3RD, 2015 THE SAME PRECIOUS SON OF GHANA PUT A VIDEO ON FACEBOOK PAGE "BAMPUP CHRONICLES", TITLES; "A VOICE FOR PRESIDENT MILLS AND HIS FAMILY. PART 4" WHICH VIDEO EXPOSES THE PERPETRATORS OF THE CRIMES AND REAFFIRMS THE ADDRESS AT THE -'WHITE HOUSE'. HUMANITY, MAY THE PRECIOUS ONE "XYZ" AND ALL WHOSE WHO SEEK "UNDERSTANDING" INTO THE LOSS OF THE PRECIOUS LIVES OF HIS EXCELLENCY PRESIDENT MILLS AND THE SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF THE INNOCENT 14 GHANAIAN LIVES IN THE MELCOM BUILDING COLAPSE ON (NOVEMBER 7TH, 2012) EXACTLY ONE MONTH TO THE 2012 NATIONAL ELECTIONS, AND THE PLIGHT OF THE NATION GHANA AND OUR DIGNIFIED PEOPLE WHICH GHANA FACES.
HUMANITY; IF MY NOBLE ONE "XYZ" SHALL VISIT THE FACEBOOK PAGE FOR THAT VIDEO, PRECIOUS "XYZ" SHALL "UNDERSTAND" WHY HIS EXCELLENCY JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS TOLD GHANA AND THE WORLD JUST LAST WEEK THAT "WE LIVE IN DANGEROUS TIMES". OF A TRUTH, "THE WHOLE WORLD LIES IN WICKEDNESS" AND IT IS NO MORE SECRET THAT EVEN NOW IS "THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION SET IN THE HOLY PLACE" AND THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD BY "THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY " AND WHICH "INIQUITY PLANED" IS BEING "EXECUTED" BY FELLOW MEN AGAINST ALL OF HUMANITY. DANIEL THE PROPHET OF GOD SAYS; "IF WE READ, WE MUST UNDERSTAND", THEREFORE NOBLE "XYZ", AS YOU READ AND WATCH, "UNDERSTAND" EVEN AS THE SCRIPTURES ENCOURAGE THAT (UPON ALL OUR GETTING, WE MUST GET)- "UNDERSTANDING. SELAH. "IT IS FINISHED" FOR "OCCUPY TILL I COME" IS WHAT IS WRITTEN. SELAH.
TOGETHER, WE CAN! WITH GOD, WE CAN!! GOD BLESS AFRICA, HUMANITY AND THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD WITH THE NEEDED "UNDERSTANDING" ABOUT THE TIMES THAT WE "OCCUPY" AS IT IS WRITTEN. GOD BLESS -'JOSHUA'-THE PRESIDENT OF GHANA; HIS EXCELLENCY -JOHN- DRAMANI MAHAMA, THE GOVERNMENT AND ENTIRE LEADERS OF THE LAND OF GHANA AND THE PRECIOUS PEOPLE. AND, GOD BLESS OUR HOMELAND GHANA.
NOTE
THANKS TO -GHANAWEB- AND -KINGS WAY RADIO.

Growing up at Tema, our home phone (land line) was under lock; yet I knew that reaching out to emergency was: 999.
Are emergency lines out of service, and calls being directed to somewhere else?

A very hopeless country when firefighters, trained to battle fires stood helplessly and unable to move closer to prevent the fire from spreading. Is it because they don't have the needed equipments or water? Smh

What do we train firefighters for? Helpless and effortless fire tenders. Who deployed these incompetents and hopeless people at the fire site? If such people cannot even approach the inferno to even put up their best to see if they could quench it or not, do they qualify to be called firefighters? Ghana, why do you even label cowards like these people as fire tenders? To the affected, may their souls rest in perfect peace?

Listen please. It is not the firefighters fault. Water will NOT put out a Petrol fire. They need a chemical that is applied as FOAM that smothers the fire. Even if they had it, it would require a huge amount for this fire. As it is, Ghana does not have the equipment or funds or manpower to handle this.

After nearly 60 yrs of independence, no equipment or funds to handle this.
Why then do the citizenry pay taxes.?
