This image is haunting. I can only imagine what was going on in the mind of this poor baby at this point, seeing death breathing down his neck. Strength to his family.💔

On the highlife side of ALATA…. ”Ansaa wɔlɔ bibioo, Maame ALATA fa bra mentɔ bi..”- Nat Brew(Amandzeba), Kpanlogo Yɛ Dɛ Alata has never been, and will never be a slur.

How can teenagers think of KILLING a classmate because of whatever? In Ghana, the worst case scenario would be ‘fixing’ a fight after school closes.. a few exchange of blows and people go their way. But to plan MURDER?? Wild.

“100 times ahead”… I agree.. Banditry, kidnapping, armed robbery, generator sound, generator fumes… I ALMOST added life expectancy,
I go drag this gbas gbos with Ghanaians ehn. I done see una finish. I enjoyed your country especially the night life but Nigeria is not your mate. We are 100 times ahead and im not mincing words. When e reach to fight for Africa, I’ll be by your side but against my country, ehn

He’s a hero.He was able to keep calm in this certain death situation, put his life on the line to save the passengers’ lives before thinking of how to save his. He should however go to the hospital to have his chest checked. God bless him.

Sometimes I imagine Terry Bonchaka on a tiktok live interacting with his fans🤣 I wonder what his fan army would’ve been called and where his career would’ve been by now.. It’s 23 years already. Time!
