You meet Ghanaians who ask why John and Peter as first names. They dare not ask why Issaka and Yakubu. They are afraid to question why Mohammed. Look at the names given to Real Estate Properties and ask why Milano Heights, Oxford View, Woodbridge, etc? Why Vikings and Pent Hostels when you tell us to stop watching foreign movies, play local songs? Why not Kelewele Estates, Gbinyiri Hostel and Gakpo Heights? Kwasiator hypocrite Ghanaians

Shame on the elitist Legon neighbourhood landlords
All over the world, University campuses house the academic facilities whilst the neighbourhood private lands accommodate the human beings. ie faculty, staff and students. In the Legon enclave, rich citizens have created cemetery mansion communities like, East Legon, & Westlands driving members of the University community farther from the campus.
70,000 students are now competing for 10,000 beds inside the campus!!!

Whaaat!!! Ghc10,000 for a shared room among 4 students and ghc38,000 for a single room? Are the students fed in addition to that or it includes health care? What is that? Let me ask ooo, the operators of those facilities, how much did they pay for accommodation when they were in school? What kind of wickedness is that? I wish the student unite and boycott their services. That is too bad. On Sundays, they dress and go and sit in churches and pretend to be angels. The judgment day awaits you all. Thieves.
Is that per term or year? 4 months ago

I good give is poor.

I think it's always about demand and supply and that tips the price over. You have to invest also in real estates.. More buidings less the price goes

It’s like in Ghana there’re some people who deliberately create hardship for the people. While some countries are trying to eliminate hardship Ghanaians are doing everything possible to make life harder for themselves. Why do you charge students this amount for accommodation? Wicked and greedy society.

The issue of accommodations at secondary and tertiary institutions in Ghana exposes the lack of strategic thinking and foresight of instructors, lecturers, professors, university administrators and people in academia who have allowed themselves to be swept into the dirty NDC-NPP politics of our generation.

It does not take one to be a rocket scientist to know that real estate has been the only area in Ghana's economy that continues to give positive revenues on investment returns. One would have thought that the educated elite class, especially the professor/teacher class at our institutions would have ensured that parliament could carve out a statute that would allow, as an option, for secondary and tertiary institution professors to put a percentage of their SSNIT contributions towards direct investment into dormitory/hostel construction across Ghana wherever there is a chronic shortage of accommodations.

In the end, those investments into real estate will bring more money to participants than what SSNIT could ever pay participants.
