If your mum or dad or wife or sister or brother were among the victims,I hope you will be very happy to see their charred bodies paraded on TV. If it's not closer to you can say all the trash you want.

It's really ridiculous the way some of the Presenters read the news. I wonder whether they go through induction let alone training. About 90 percent of them need to get professional training, esp. the TWI News-readers. Kwame, some of your presenters we listen to because there is no option. Anyway this is Ghana. My brother has a TV/RADIO Station so I am a Presenter. I rest my case.

It is a shame on the part of Ghana Government, the way the "Dead Bodies" were taken to Hospital for identification. Why are chickens or slaughtered goats been transported to sell at Market. They were important to their families ok. May God save their souls through Jesus Christ.

You are the worst journalist in Ghana. You can only preten to fool some of them but not some of us. You and your kinds are destroying this contry. All the worse insults happened on programme. Better response to the money you, kwaku Baako and others took from npp. Until this peacefm is destroyed Ghana will see no development.

The Ghanaian media lost its ethical standards right from the day you joined the fraternity.
Be honest to yourself and to Ghana and answer this question for all to hear.
Have you ever receive payola?
Tell us how you make your money? IS IT FROM ONLY YOUR PAY, OR SOME VOMES FROM PAYOLA AND BRIBES?
You cannot fool anyone except those singing your praises.

But why is he complaining? Even the way they package their news, is too bad. I remember Nana ohene ontow the former morning show host chastise peace fm and adom fm on the lack of adherence to professional ethics on their news, but they didn't listen, now that things have gotten out of hands you come and complain? Kwame was far better and ethical during his time at radio gold, but has lost it all due to money. I think he only deserve one Out of his four awards as the radio and TV personality of the year. but you see, if your own friends who do not understand the ethics of the profession, organise such awards, things like these happen.

Kwami or whatever you are the worst journalist I have ever seen, you sites on your radio station allowing people like ursula owusu insults Prof Mills on your show referring to him as kohwini, did you ever asked her to redrawn her comments. Because you don't want to lose the money they have been given to you, tell us why did you lets someone host your programs for you during the time of acid wahala in the npp shame shame shame on you

Posted A few days back:

Dear God, Ghanaians are so stupid to the core. They have come to accept corruption as part of the culture. What happened to woyome? nothing, What happened to the people involved in the Yalele cocaine scandal and the presidential lounge deal? nothing. Ghanaians are just brain damaged, they will rather follow TB Joshua for holy water instead of holding their leaders accountable for corruption. Ghana does not have a single airline, yet Mahama's brother owns a plane/or planes!!! Ghanaians do not have the ability to question the status quo, they will rather go to Bishop Obinim to pray for them. Oh my dear Jerry Rawlings, what have you done to a whole generation? (The people are sick in the mind). Ghana today cannot even produce a condom, we keep borrowing and borrowing from the west. Our President goes to the West and shamelessly ask the West to report the good side of Ghana and Africa. What is good about Ghana?? The light off? The lack of critical thinkers? the courage of our young men who try to smuggle themselves to Europe or the sex tourism? Ghanaians are jokers, We started with malaysia but see where we are today. The Cedi is turning into trash. Soon we will require 10 million cedis to buy Kenkey. Instead of jailing the leaders, we spend our whole life in TB joshua's church. Our radio stations report nothing but pure nonsense such as 'maame water has taken Castro' (And this nonsense was confirmed by a respectable Top police officer). Dogs in United Kingdom have more brains than us Ghanaians. We are not going no where with our Low intelligence and IQ. Ghana is among the countries with the lowest IQ, please check the MENSA website. The average Ghanaian can recite 100 verses in the bible but cannot work basic mathematics or grasp any scientific concept. We cannot even speak English properly. I am a frustrated Ghanaian, because the people in the position to make a difference are brain dead. The great thinkers like Komla Dumor are no more. We are left with young idiots in the media houses who draw on superstitious believes in an attempt to explain occurrences which their little minds cannot comprehend. Jerry Rawlings feels my pain, he sits back and wish he could turn back the hands of time but its too late. He wasted his opportunity and didn't know any better. As we speak, Im leaving to Addis Ababa (Ethiopia). I see a vision in that country, they are forward thinkers and planning ahead into the future. I dont intend to return to Ghana anymore. My people have been brain damaged and it will take another 100 years to reverse the damage. I challenge Ghanaians to watch documentaries on youtube to see how far the world is moving ahead and how far we are falling behind. We are lost in our own little bubble and increasingly drifting away from civilisation. During the floods, Ghana armed forces were using a paddle canoes in an attempt to rescue victims. Come on people, where on this planet do you see people using paddle canoe as a rescue boat??? What happened to very basic outboard motor propelled speed boats for rapid response. All the news papers and media showed images of the dead on their front pages and in the news and not a single Ghanaian complained. Did you think of the children who will be traumatised? do you know about respecting the dead? We are plain stupid as a nation. We surely need idiots and con men like TB Joshua and Obinim to sort us out. For me, I give up on Ghana. May i remind readers that, the use of the word Ghanaians does not mean everybody in Ghana. I sincerely apologise for the wrong use of collective and generalised phrases, words etc. There are a few good people left in Ghana.

Kwame! What can you say about a widely acclaimed man who was brutally tortured, blood oozing from head to toe, forced to wear a thorny crown, stripped naked, balls in his vital region exposed hanging for everybody to see. Wasn't this absurd and a horrible sight? And yet we have a religious group who are unpurterbed or deterred. They continuously have sought and still seek to get some kind of inspiration from such distasteful and gloomy pictures because, they believe they're special albeit "the chosen few" that gives them eterna history to uphold. How do reconcile those times and current times in terms of people seeing everything in its entirety filifili? Beats me.

Kwame Safa Kayi! You are 100% right. Even though I'm not a journalist, the very day I saw the gory pictures, I knew the reporting lacked the professionalism of good journalism. Those of us in the West are used to hearing phrases like: "Due to the graphic nature of the accident, we cannot show you the pictures on TV etc." And even when reporters go ahead and show gory pictures, they warn us to make sure that kids do not watch such pictures. They know how harmful it is to pollute the pristine mind of the kids with such gory pictures. I'm happy to see Kwame Safa Kayi, an Ace reporter, taking on his own people about professional ethics of good journalism. Kwame, continue to drum it into the heads of the your people and I'm sure the good Lord will guard you to be successful even if you decide to form your own TV station.

It is very difficult to stop and taste what you are eating when you are very hungry.
We all in the arts should share the blame.Kudos Kwame.
