    ABYSS:

    According to scriptures the only power who can cast people to the abyss is the Lord Jesus Christ. When talking about abyss we are talking about deep hole like deep sea.

    Respectfully to human culture from the begi ...

    "BANZA" journalism guaranteed at this website. You will never be disappointed. BANZA-generally means; WORST in one of the local languages spoken in Ghana.

  • Sada Subah 9 years ago

    Even if the news report was incomplete, you could have googled "Romeoville, USA". There could have been the theoretical possibility that there was more than one Romeoville but still you would have made some effort in this inf ...

    His female friend who was driving was able to get out. He wasn't driving, and rather could not get out. Huh. Does he have life insurance? and who is the beneficiary? I hope not the lady 'friend'. This is America. I hope the p ...

    The police has to critically looked into this. I know this KOjo guy to be a very careful guy and also very reserve. He was my friend from Ghana and I know for sometime was struggling to get his GC. Is this female passenger th ...

    Oh stop it already! Romeoville police & the fire department concluded that it was an accident, plus this young woman who could barely speak English was injured & extremely shaken at the accident site. Don't start any rumor, I ...

    if you have younger kids???? who will need your financial support and your spouse and kids are now qualified for SS benefits when you accidentally die then MAYBE you don't have to be 80. Am just saying

  • Bonsam Martin 9 years ago

    Sad story as a mere 'conspirarcy theory' at your own peril! This is happening all over the place within our commuities;and the worst part of it that the perpertrators are the least you would suspect.

  • Sada Subah 9 years ago

    Better to get your basic grammar right than harbour a generalized hatred of women.

    Six people have just lost their lives in Cali because some sick, rich, spoiled kid with no social skills developed a generalized hatred fo ...

    How come the girl was able to get out but not the man when it was the girl who was driving. Two possibilities! 1. Either the man was killed before the accident or 2. it was a purposeful plan to kill the man therefore was poss ...

    Police said the female driver, a 25-year-old Romeoville woman, was able to get out of the water.

    The late Kojo Pewudie was a cousin of the late Torgbe Wenya I of Chicago.

  • Akos 9 years ago

    So you guys think this woman who's also a Ghanaian, deliberately submerged the car in the pond to cover up a murder? She won't be that stupid knowing darn well this man's cousin died less than 2 weeks ago & remain in the morg ...

  • Qtip 9 years ago

    Thank u Akos! Ghanaians talk too much. Why such rumor when the police haven't said anything about murder and the autopsy has not even done yet? Fools!

  • BENNETT 9 years ago

    ...you guys are funny. it doesn't matter. As you think of the good, you should also look at the other side. It is not always what you see and hear that is the truth. be critical thinkers

  • Sada Subah 9 years ago

    The report clearly states that the car crashed into a retention wall. The impact of that collision most likely would have rendered the deceased unconscious, followed by drowning. As you correctly pointed out, we don't have al ...

    Why are all these p/NDC people dying so fast? Kojo was a strong p/NDC supporter of the chicago branch.
