Reactions to Akwatia car show
YEN.com.gh collated some reactions to the video shared by @eddie_wrt on X. Some wondered why the rich miners have not constructed the roads, but rather decided to drive their luxury cars on such bad roads. Read some of them below:

"See the road ‘wealthy miners’ dey move ‘their fleet of expensive cars’ on! 😭 ‘Wealthy miners’ no fit even put small wealth together to make the road better for their expensive cars. 😂 Poor man will never appeal for that, he’ll rather celebrate them and ask for small coins🤦♂️."
@attrakta said:
"I see people talking about the Rich men fixing the Roads. In Ghana, it's not allowed..IBI government wey dey do that .. those individuals can only lobby. How can an individual wake up and say I am putting ramps on Tema highway ..(It doesn't make sense, right?)"

"Misplaced priorities 😞; it's obviously clear that there's a very poor community with no meaningful infrastructural development from the roads, houses, and the spectators, but these few chose to splash funds on exotic vehicles instead of investing in human capital development.🧐🤷🏿😎."

"You can never convince me that the same God that created the Western world was the same one that created those of us here. It can never be truth, the mentality and reasoning depict this statement."

"After all the money and cars, what have they done for their community that they are pulling those minerals from? I will be glad if someone educates me on that. In 30 years, all these flashy cars will be obsolete. A refurbished school, hospital, or library will also be fine."
@ArenaAFRIQUE said:
"What’s worthy about this, and what shows they are all miners? They are using such cars to pass on these poor roads and bad looking environment without thinking of how to help develop the town, and you call them WORTHY? Africans will always be Africans."
