Michael Ampong - foolish talk indeed.

In the media ..... "Mr. Michael Ampong, Campaign Coordinator for Mr. Alan Kyerematen says Ghana will be plunged into chaos should the New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegates consider Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo for the flagbearership slot of the party and eventually elected president."

The above statement is really stupid and nonsense. For a true NPP member to say such a thing is just childish. So what if Alan Cash loses? What next can he really be part of the campaign trail for the party. Power can make people talk nonsense indeed. Enough of this nonsense from Alan Cash camp. He and his cohorts are rather being arrogant, if they do not know, I am telling them.

When people are talking peace look at what someone is saying. Shame of on Michael Ampong.

Energy conservation indeed


Thank God Akosombo is back to life, but our actions and inactions would spell doom if not checked fast. People have fixed their own security/ street lights in front of their houses and after getting these lighted up, the neglect starts.

The picture in this article was taken at 1.49 pm . Why should this act be repeated everyday without the adults in the household seeing it. Such irresponsibility has infected Ghanaians to the extend that most Ghanaians do not care any longer what happens around them. This habit is bad and must be checked. Energy Commission is doing all it can but yet still the education campaign is not reaching the ordinary Ghanaians. Who and what can solve this problem?

CFC fridges in Ghana


The earlier the govt bans the importation of second hand refrigerators the better it would be for the nation. We are allowing Ghana to be a dumping ground and after a few years the waste disposal issue would be starring at us straight in the face. We are pretending like ostriches burying the head in the ground.

These fridges cannot be fixed today or ever after they break down, so what happens next? Would they continue to be arranged like brick boulders along river banks.

Who cares about the issue of fridges being imported into the country without considering environmental issues. Are we really serious as a nation at all. Environmental Protection Agency sit up and stop sleeping.

Who owns this pickup?

Who can the owner of this pickup be? They make driving so dangerous on our roads. You dare follow any of these "mobile devils" and you are on your way to the hospital through an accident. They have no brake lights to warn you of their intended actions.

So isn't it a shame that we allow all this nonsense to continue to be on our roads. DVLA and Ghana Police stop these corrupt practices and act wisely.

Safari rally on our roads?

Are we having an Urban Safari Rally? How can vehicles be allowed to find their own routes on what is supposed to be a road. I just wonder what is wrong with us as a country, to the extent that simple problems are just left to become giant problems.

So who do we blame for all this nonsense. Pot holes are allowed to develop into manholes and boreholes. Eventually the whole road becomes a vast uncovered surface. God have mercy on us as a country.

Killer buses indeed


So who certified this bus to move on our roads. Long distance journey carrier indeed. Oh DVLA why are you killing Ghanaians. As for our police men only God knows what must be done to them. After collecting bribes at the barriers they allow these drivers to continue the journey. When would we use our conscience to work and not our feelings.

Urban roads boss uses helicopter around town

Wow ! The boss of urban roads uses a plush helicopter to move around town daily. This of course sounds good but before you ask any questions let me say it is not true, it is just a day dream.

The question about the bad roads in our cities makes one ask what the Urban roads is doing. Well, I presume the bosses of the respective urban roads fly in helicopters and so have no feel of the deadly bore holes, potholes and man holes on our roads. If indeed they drive along these same roads as we all do with so much complaints, then I dare say they are either blind or have no feelings within their bodies. In effect they cannot feel the pot holes when they fall into them. perhaps they have good four wheel drives so that serves as a good buffer.

If they cannot see nor feel, can they not also hear the complaints all over the radio stations? Oh what a pity, that Urban roads is just a mess and useless. All they do is just collect bribes and that is the end of the show. A bad case for road users.

Road worthy cars indeed

It is amazing the type of vehicles seen on our roads with valid road worthy stickers. I dare challenge the DVLA to prove me wrong that all vehicles come to their outfit for the annual check. Timber trucks, trotro, taxis and other strange moving objects of which some qualify to be dumped in the junk yard. Why should officers at DVLA collect bribes and allow such rickety vehicles to move on the roads? Who is to be when these kill people?

DVLA should not should not be allowed to deceive Ghanaians by saying otherwise. Who inspected the vehicles shown in the pictures in this blog? These moving objects NEVER went to the DVLA premises for the check, yet they have been given stickers to show their road worthiness. SHAME ON YOU DVLA officials.

Ghana Roads - Pot holes


Pot holes on our roads are a mess and i wonder who is in charge at all. Are the Urban roads/ highways being paid to sleep or what? Drive through some of the so-called principal roads and you would have a shock of your life. Holes big enough to burst a tyre or spoil the car. So are there no knowledgeable guys out there who can fix these problems? It is a shame if our engineers are now pot bellied after collecting kickbacks and now are redundant in doing the work.

Why should a road which is barely a year old have potholes? Common sense must tell you the work was not well executed. Yet there were so called consultants from these Urban roads and highways who after collecting their share of the monies kept quiet. A big shame to them all.

After all they do not have the moral rights to call back the contractors to fix the problems on the new roads even though it is still within the maintenance agreement period. Oh my Ghana when shall corruption stop?
