Agyimifour, what reward do you want from helping a human in need? Sometimes some of you idiots give politicians excuses to do what they do. Why should I even blame you, the politicians are stealing left and right so with a little chance, the gullible and soft soul would also want to take from the state. Such a shame we are losing our cultured ancestral values to money and power.

NEXT TIME VOTE WISELY!! NDC IS INCOMPETENT!!!!!!!!
WHAT IS NDC DORMAAHENE TRYING TO TELL US??? THE GOLDEN STOOL WAS WELDED??? ASBAH!!! THIS IS TYPICAL NDC REASONING!!!! WE ALL KNOW GOD’S POWER IS INFINITE. WE RECOGNIZE GOD’S OMNIPOTENCE BUT THERE IS BIBLICAL RECORD OF PHARAOH’S MAGICIANS CHALLENGING OR REPLICATING THE SIGNS GOD PERFORMED THROUGH MOSES AND AARON. THE REFERENCES ARE; EXODUS 7:10-12, EXODUS 7:20-22, EXODUS 8:6-7. THE MAGICIANS SUCCESSFULLY IMITATED/REPLICATED THE FIRST 3 SIGNS OF SERPENT, BLOOD & FROGS. THE NAMES OF THE PHARAOH’S MAGICIANS ARE GIVEN AS JANNES AND JAMBRES IN TIMOTHY 3:8-9 WHEN PAUL MADE REFERENCE TO THIS BIBLICAL RECORDS. IT IS, THEREFORE, NOT SURPRISING IF WE HAVE IN ASHANTI/GHANAIAN HISTORY THAT OKOMFO ANOKYE COMMANDED THE GOLDEN STOOL. SOME OF THE THINGS HE DID THROUGH HIS POWERS ARE STILL PRESERVED IN AWUKUGUA, AKUAPIM MOUNTAINS. DORMAAHENE CAN GO THERE AND VERIFY!!!! LONG LIVE GHANA!!! LONG LIVE OUR UNITY!!!

Prince Kwasi Adade…..Next time you will lose more than half of your MP’s because of the lies you are peddling and the crimes you committed when in power. People will vote based on truths and facts, and not based on lies. If you think the fight for corruption and lies have stopped, think again, it hasn’t even started yet. You are emboldened to come out from your hiding place because you think you are succeeding in undermining the government. You are a joke. You haven’t seen anything else. Mahama has the bulk of Ghanaians behind him and I promise you he will lay the foundation for criminals and mafia-like gangs eradicated from the country.

Will your Politicians have done it for free? Ask John Mahama first. Some people were rewarded for what they did to help the situation but the people of the locality were not acknowledged anywhere at any function. When there is even a common Bicycle accident on our roads, people have now learned to go their own ways and never help in any way. This is Mahama’s Government for you.

Be measured in your reply please. I don't have politicians. I can't find the appetite even associate myself with those dishonorable people. They lack real dignity and respect and are no better than the pickpockets at circle or kejetia, the only difference is they pass through the educational system which makes them educated thieves.

Recognising someone's effort is also an act of patriotism. Am sad you failed to recognise this but rather you chose to insult them.Let me tell you a story.In France,Paris in focus,an illegal migrant climbed a five story building to saved the life of a child who was just about to fall from the fourth floor.it was an act of patriotism. The French government recognised that effort by granting him citizenship and also recruited him into the fire service.In our jurisdiction we don't recognise patriotism that is why we are not patriotic.

These people have no shame at all. But the government too, not in the form of money, a little message of 'thanks' during the funeral speeches or right after would have solved this. Wisdom is not sold.

Ask John Mahama and members of his Government if they got nothing for themselves. These people should have long ago been acknowledged in public and even rewarded. How many of these helpers are employed? They could have been employed in certain production areas in the country. They are not fools.

This is a genuine call by the local residents who actively involved in the rescue of the victims of the helicopter crash to be rewarded.At least, we should give them them something to buy soap.

I thought the Ghana Armed Forces have been trained to face any situation in a forested area and in the jungle. Why couldn't they secure the place and put their training into practice? Or is their so-called training just theory-based? The locals have proved to the Military that they are better trained in jungle operations. The Military have been put to shame and should swallow their pride and acknowledge the bravery of the locals. What a shame.

This is a no-brainer. It should have been done, right from the start. They did so, well in making the efforts of the soldiers and emergency services personnel easier, since they knew the terrain better.

It's a sign of ungratefulness and lack of appreciation on the part of the state (represented by the government) to seem to forget their sacrifice and unflinching assistance after the unfortunate accident. A review of speeches by both high and low government officials seem to confirm the concerns of Sikaman residents.

The people of Sikaman have a genuine case. No where in the various speeches that were delivered during the gatherings to honour the 8 deceased persons did we hear any government official acknowledging the invaluable efforts of the people of Sikaman where the helicopter crashed. The Ashanti Regional minster can still direct the DCE for the area to organize the people of Sikaman for him to come and thank them of behalf of government. It's the monetary compensation i disagree with.
