Weekly Discussion, Let’s Get Talking: Should Preaching & Selling Of Drugs In Public Transports ‘Trotro’ Be Banned All Over Ghana?

I got a new toy yesterday (Ipad2) and was looking for a radio application which will allow me to listen to Fm stations in Ghana. After several searches, I landed on one and decided to test it, in doing so, I tuned into an Accra based radio station.

When I tuned in, the topic under discussion caught my attention. Basically, they were discussing whether a ban should be imposed on people who go about preaching and selling medicines in public transports all over Ghana, especially ‘Trotro’ .

Personally, I have had experiences with Trotro drug traders and pastors who jump into public transports to proclaim the word of God.

From the radio discussion, majority of the people who phoned seemed to be against these activities, especially the selling of drugs in public transports.

On the preaching, a number of the callers said they do not really mind but the drug sellers are those who should be kicked off because they get on their nerves and most times, the drugs they are selling are very bad. Instead of curing whatever illness, they rather add up more illness for you.

If you have ever taken a public transport from Accra to Kumasi or Takordi or Cape Coast or any sort of long journey in Ghana, you pretty much know about these preachers and drug sellers.

What do you think of these activities? Do you think they should be banned in public transports? Have you ever had any experience? Do you feel comfortable having these activities ‘in your face’ when travelling?
