You got to be kidding me. What kind of a cab company will allow somebody dressed like this to rive a cab? Don't get me wrong here. My problem is not the attire per se but such dressing will slow down this driver in retrieving passengers luggage from from his car.

This dressing is a job hazzard that should not be allowed. Wearing slippers and driving a taxi? Only in New York.

All chiefs in Ghana have titles, example,Opoku Ware of the Ashantis, Yegbowura of the Gonjas, Ga Mantse of the Gas, Togbe of the Ewes e.t.c. but this so called chief is called Issac Osei like an ordinary person?

Work is WORK, and driving taxi is a contribution to society, rewarded with a FOOD on the table ! When some folks arrive home, Ghana, for a visit, the mind is always computing endlessly, but Ghanaians do not want anything to do with that HOT mind.
Congratulation Isaac Osei ! With your video out there, the folks 'back-home' would understand, that there's no FREE lunch in America; you cherished as well as valued possessions, and those do not grow on trees. You surely need your space!
Today, it's Taxi Driving, but there are TONS of other situations out there; 'better-offs' and the 'worse-offs', but the end result matters most.

Who knows if he is not a sakawa chief. Who is the acting chief when he is on his taxi business trip? Why can't he leave that chieftaincy for another fellow if he prefer driving his taxi? chiefs are there to help resolve matters in their community and not just holding titles and spending time in US taxi stations.

The guy owns a big taxi firm with a fleet of cars. Motherfuckers he started the business when you guys were not even born then and now owns a fleet of taxi cars. Meaning he is the boss of a big taxi company in New York City and not a taxi driver himself. Foolish people who think so highly of themselves but can't even feed themselves. Here in America, we work hard regardless of your status.

Tis guy is just demeaning our chieftaincy institution. He can own all the cabs from New-York to Arizona, but he hasn't got to drive in full Chiefs gear. If his subjects in Ghana have any balls and are not just picking up the crumbs he throws at them, then he must be de-stooled, but with immediate effect.We might be poor but we don't sell our heritage so cheap like that. I guess the guy is getting senile after all those years in the diaspora.

1. There is nothing wrong with a ghanaian chief working as a taxi driver. Abroad, every work is respected. Even David Cameroon rides a bike to work.

But the issue is did you guys notice that the chief, because of his dress, did not wear his seat belt before driving? This never happens. This is a stage act for picture and story purposes.

Which person will drive in all his gold ornaments in New York and arrive home safely and intact.

Disgraceful ewes are Ghanaians by a big mistake Nkrumah did.If Woyome had sought for gainful employment, he wouldn't have stolen $58.9 Million from Ghana's treasury. That money could have been used to developed trokosi undeveloped villages.

Is this Nana not in a Godly and decent job? Where on earth Is driving criminal? Let's accept the decent and modest way some people get their wealth. We all can not run. Other must trot; others can only waddle as others may be able to crawl and some can leap-frog. Imagine other Chiefs ruining poor homes and families as the earn their living through drugs biz, human trafficking and even azaa visa and illegal travel conexions while Some too will pitch their subjects against one another, others too at home would enslave their people and natural resources to foreigners to line their own pockets. Which of hese would u respect? Isee that we have to encourage ur pple to respect non-criminal citizens inwhatever way they make their wealth decently.The Ghanaian culture of earning individual incomes decently is been discouraged through this title.

Let me clarify what the narrator in the video conflates: the cab driver is not the King or Omanhene (in this case read as chief by the narrator) of the Akan-ethnic Akwamu State; rather he is one of the chiefs or chieftains (Ohene/Ahemfo - pl) of one of the Akwamu towns or a principalities. Does the chief really "drive" a taxi cab, or "run" and "manage" a fleet of taxi cabs? The answer goes to the latter. Then again, driving a cab is an honest job.

I wonder what the heck is wrong with owning a taxi company in New York City. Do you guys know what it means to own a taxi compnay in America? This is a big time transportation in no other place than NEW YORK CITY. Are you guys fucking kidding me? No wonder our country is in such a deporable state. Our so called leaders see us as foolish people who don't know what is good for them hence they do whatever they want and tell us it's good for us and we accept it because we don't know better. Do you guys know the number of years and what you will go through to get that kind of licence to set up a taxi company? Do you guys know the number of white owning taxi companies he is competing with? I cry for mother Ghana because she does not have a future with thes shallow thinkers as future leaders. No wonder you guys and the so called Graduates are sitting at home with no jobs because you are waiting for your president to employ you and pay you 0ne hundred thousand Ghana cedi as if that will secure your future and guarantee you a good life. You think so highly of yourselves but you ain't shit in that filthy country. Get the fuck up and do something with your lives ans stop talking shit about a chief who is making it big time in New York city. Go to Akosombo and see his investment and next time you will not talk shit about someone you don't know. Foolish people.
