Peaceful but we must be careful and vigilant. We have too many people entering and turning into Ghanaians overnight. Our peaceful nature is being taken for granted. There are people who are introducing kidnapping, ritual murders and armed robbery to the next level. Our police /citizen ratio is awful. Too many firearms in unauthorized hands.
