@Mr. Smith, I can't agree with you less. You are right. It is like a disease especially in Ghana and Nigeria. Gutters left open for only God knows for what reason. Meanwhile our politicians both in power and in opposition are seen over here in Europe all the time. Can't they copy what they see here? We meet their children all over the place. My children attend school with many of them. They come here very often and return to Ghana and do nothing!!!

The only thing the Mahama government knows is pumping dollars into the system to bring the cedi down to the applause of the business community at the expense of my poor folks in our villages. Settings government. They came and quickly dissolved the Sanitation Ministry just to please the greedy CSO’s as a reduction of the ministries. Ghanaians have not seen anything yet.

5 sitesAccra’s recurring, devastating floods are a national emergency rooted in severe plastic pollution choking drainage systems, illegal construction on wetlands, and excessive paving that prevents natural water absorption.

Upon hearing that her brother was being crowned as the leader of the church by church elders in his brothers house ,she should just have reported the installation of her brother as a breach of court injection to the police and the court for response and not to have gone to her bbrother's house for any rambo style interference causing injuries to herself. Ghana is governed by laws ,rules and regulations and therefore she should rather not to have gone to her brothers house for any confrontation.

If our politicians will neglect developing the rural areas to keep people in their localities, Accra will keep on choking because the average Ghanaian thinks that living in the capital means you are a true Ghanaian.

Truely speaking, Ghanaians have developed some stupid sense that if you live in the rural areas, you are being looked down. At times, insults like a "Villager etc" is the only word to describe the Ghanaian living in the rural area.

Accra will continue to choke till we think deep and act commonsensically.

We the indigenous people of Accra gladly encourage all the tribes in Ghana to relocate to Accra permanently. We also encourage them to build permanent structures in every part of Accra they desire, like the waterways, on the lakes , Rivers, on the drainage systems etc. They can turn the street and drainage into their personal dumpsters. After all that, they should continue insulting us that we stupidly sold all our lands at cheap prices. They shouldn't worry we have more lands on the seashore. We love you all. We Are Ga's.

Stop throwing trash and debris around and clogging up waterways. Many countries have nothing and are scraping by, trying to pay bills and feed their families. Still, they respect their country and planet, taking pride in where they live. Therefore, there is no excuse for being dirty and not caring about how you treat the planet. It's unacceptable on so many levels. Maybe this is Mother Nature's way of getting your attention. Hopefully, you listen.
