This is very sad and unfortunate situation. The govt and the public have to wake up, about the safety of all , precious human life lost for nothing.

"We only heard the children sadly crying on top of their voices..."

What a painful and agonizing death for these little innocent children. Shedding tears and praying for your souls to RIP.

This is so tragic. I don't know if I can be able to live if those kids were mine.

Nobody should try to attack me for not being sympathetic. Many of us do not 'waste time' to think.

You right bro. This is exactly what I was thinking. All that women can do is shout and cry for help when in tragedy. She should have been proactive and tried to bring them out herself.

Apreku,
I don't know what condition you live in and maybe you are not Ghana to lay blame on the mother, or maybe you didn't comprehend the article in detail.
We have something in our modern day Ghana called "Dumsor, Dumsor", and to wake up in the middle of your sleep with fire blazing all around you is no joke.
Without knowing how the room or rooms are set up, as to where the mother and the children sleeps, I think it's unwise of you to accuse and blame the mother who has lost everything in her life. I also think you are a male because you did not care to ask where the childrens father was at that time of night? I suggest you apologise to the mother and think before you post going forward. Our Government Fireservice arrived with not enough water to save the kids, not once but twice. Put your glasses on and read again. If you want to lay blame, lay it on our corrupt government not the poor mother who is still suffering. As for me, I'll pray for her and the departed children God has called home from our shameful government.

What has this got to do with "Dumsor"? Do you want to tell us you don't know where in your room your bed is?
How did the woman know where the door is, but not where her Baby is lying?

This is a tragedy, please don't make it sound like a joke.

If the mother woke up 'in the middle of her sleep to find fire blazing all around' the first thing one would expect her to think about is the safety of her children. To go out of the room alone without at least one of her children "to seek help" makes my stomach churn. As regards the whereabouts of the children's father the report was silent but since you cared to introduce that into the conversation can one dare to speculate that maybe he is irresponsible and that this tragedy is a staged double homicide for payback?

MP Ken Agyapong abandoned his constituents hence. Their welfare should have been his responsibility but rather engaged in unnecessary issues elsewhere.

WHO IS TO BE BLAME?

THEY WILL ALSO FOLLOW ON THE SAME PATH AND THEIR GHOST WILL COMFIRM HOW PAINFUL IT IS.
