Ghana Standard Authority is not doing the job. The iron rods are not quality and totally useless
The government should sack the head of the authority now. They must be proactive and sanction these inferior products producers. Look at what's happening. Old buildings are not collapsing rather new ones, how?
The building next to it looks suspicious too
Ghanaians died.. ... Who cares??? Good riddance
A good Zoogerian is a dead Zoogerian. Demonic criminals
There are some things that are done in this country that need to be outlawed. You buy 12mm iron rods from the dealers and when you measure it, it's 10mm and yet they call it 12mm. You buy 10mm and it's 8mm etc.
If you don't ...

One of the dangers of living in Ghana is the collapse of buildings built by ignorant masons chosen by ignorant building owners due to poverty that risks lives. It is like the precious life is worth nothing in Africa, especial ...

It is appears that the most important human need (Life) is the least important human need in Ghana because the priority is turned upside down from the pursuit of longer life to the pursuit of abundant wealth that risks or com ...

What is the purpose of toiling and suffering to acquire assets, properties or buildings and dying too early for others to enjoy such properties? To me, it does not really make any sense at all and if I was a law-maker, many t ...

Mr Know-it-all, I doubt if you've fixed your life already. When did the head of the authority come to office and when was the building up? You should have made that clear first. Animals like you would have posted similar brai ...

The looting, thieving, stealing, atrocious and criminal so-called reset agenda of the voodoo-practising NDC is in high motion.
Clearly you are an NPP animal. You guys can't distinguish between seasons. This building is obviously more than 2 years old so if any government is to be blamed for voodoo works it should be NPP.
Are you already after your ...

What has it to do with iron rods quality? There are houses made of wood in Europe up to 20 floors and they’re still standing. It’s better engineering, if you’re building any structure you need structural engineers to ca ...

You cannot also discount the quality of the rebars(iron rods). There's a reason they come in various sizes and type of material used in making them. The same building engineers you mentioned will specify the type and size of ...

Can you imagine
Hello youth of Ghana. You can take your own life or someone's life with medicine. For instance 15 tramadol at once.....or combine medicine and akpeteshie or weedicide .
Hey!! We know you are mentally retarded, but this hyper endeavour to prove it online does little improvement to your Pantang residence status.
The reportage is seriously discrediting melcom for nothing
Do you buy from China to ship to Ghana?
Make no mistake.......don't use BEEDEG
There are a lot of servicea where you dont have to go to Tema harbour at all.
Tell your supplier not to use BEEDEG...they are thieves
More to follow,greed has become a norm in Ghana ,is it by force to build,if you don't have money,then rent,they will use fewer cements just to finish on time
Who’s on this guy neck to speak brofo. Is of the to the come saaaa, collapse rescue what is all this ? can’t you speak your language. You are your own slave

His grammar is 8/10. Only that his inflection and flow is not good. All the same, you understood what he said right?
Our behaviour and attitude are coming back to bite us
If one bag of cement is used to make 200 blocks what do you expect?
IT IS ONLY IN MY DEAR GHANA THAT BLESSINGS FROM ABOVE BECOME NIGHTMARE.
IT IS ABOUT TIME WE ALL BOW OUR HEADS IN SHAME AND START BUILDING A NATION THAT WOULD LEAVE A GOOD LEGACY TO OUR CHILDREN.

So, in situations like this, who do we blame? Is it the mason who stole some of the bags of cement? The owner of the building who bought fewer than necessary bags of cement because he was miserly? Or the District Assemblies, ...

Why damage the brand? I thought another collapse at melcom. Or just a sensational headline to get clicks and views. Ghana web has really come down. Very soon another online platform will take over the business

I am confused! What has Melcom to do in this building?
Is it a Melcom building?
I blame town and country planning.....they take money rather than doing their work.....no proper building documents no permit....Ghana we are not serious.
MAY God have mercy on Africa and what are they waiting for? Some of them even have their hands in pocket lol
We blame all manner of people, including masons, Landlords, foremen, contractors etc. But the real culprit is our governments. If left unchecked all those mentioned above will always do a shody work to save cost, time, or max ...

Where are the building inspectors in the various district assemblies?
It is not enough to inscribe 'stop work' on buildings. There is the need to do a nation wide structural audit of storey buildings to avert some of these d ...

I didn't wish it but i knew it would happen. I'm not sure a soil test was carried out before, during and after construction. That is a very soft ground for a storied building and the speed with which it was carried out was am ...

We need inspection services in Ghana. We need to inspect to make sure that the right materials are used.
We are not serious in Ghana.
We need to also qualify people who build. We are mostly using brick layers in Ghana.
Who allowed this building that looks like a water tank to be built. Even from the look of the building it has zero stability to withstand heavy rains and storm. Arrest the person who gave planning permission for it to be bui ...
