    The stupidity of Ga Chiefs can only be compared and equated with that of the NDC govt.

    If these chiefs want to et meat, they should go to the butchers. No government should heed these stupid traditional rulers. At this age they have nothing concrete to contribute to the nation.

    Shabi, I think your brain is just like a shit hole. If you read the article well and you are properly lttered, you'll see that the writer could not mention any particular Ga chief's name, simply because he knows he is peddlin ...

    I guess many inbound from the Upper Regions see relatively fast multi-lane traffic for the first time.

  • pepi 9 years ago

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 9 years ago

    Traffic rules are not obeyed and people cross the road anywhere. How many overhead bridges are on this road? Drivers speed as if they are crazy.

    Pacifying the gods is not the answer. The gods have other things to think about then loving to be that petty in causing the death of innocent souls.

    The problems is, Ghanaians do not obey traffic law. It is a highway and ...

    Just don't be stupid, stop speeding and obay trafic rules on the road. Rituals have nothing to do on that road, Ghanaians are being stupid too much. Just learn common sense on the road.

    Please help to find ways to educate the people on the traffic rules.
    Abeka Junction, Nyamekye, and all the other traffic lights are "MARKETS" during the 'Red' phases for vehicles.
