Listen to the names; Sodom and Gomorrah. These were cities destroyed by God in the Old Testament, how can normal human beings take names like these?
They are pronouncing curse upon themselves and Ghana as a nation.

Be serious. What is the talk about about names and curses? You rather need education, to free you from that antoa mentality of curses. What is the difference between you and the GA traditional council? You both talk the same ...

Is it govts responsibility to house people. They should go back to where they came from.
THEY ARE DESTROYING STRUCTURES WITHOUT HAVING ANY PLACE TO RELOCATED PEOPLE ,THEY CREATE HUGH AMOUNT OF HOMELESS PEOPLE WALKING THE STREETS
GOD WILL PAMISH THEM FOR THAT
I see the economics and no party politics. Most of the inhabitants of these shanty towns have gravitated towards the capital only over the last 30 to 40 years. They are adding nothing to the economy sitting in Accra. In fact, ...

These people have fertile lands wherever they are coming from and it is time for them to go back and contribute to the development of their communities instead of destroying our capital Accra.
Nothing stops you Joromi yourself from farming or fishing. Farming is not the preserve of rural people simply because urban African dwellers for some strange reason think they are better or above using their hands to be produ ...

It is long overdue and a step in the right direction.What about those living at the right places,don't they have dependants back there too.Awal,wise up and you will be glad you did.
Mr Awal
a more sustainable way to generate good income for people of northern extraction was the SADA. The slum poses a lot of danger to the dwellers and people at large. The right thing must be done and I commend the govern ...

We must stop joking Sodom and Gomorrah is alive. Oka is doing a good job by clearing the pavement and part of the korle lagoon. The criminals and the prostitute are still there
those northerners staying there can't go back to their hometown because of war. they prepared that place as a refugee camp for victims of the Konkomba and Nanumba tribal war. Now the war is over they should go back. Next time ...

Why do we wait for it to happen and then we go to spend the little we have to break it down? I guess it is a nice way to loot the country. Don't we pay people in this country to supervise development?
Have you ever heard the saying "better late than never ".

brilliant idea BUT did they put in place provisions for these HOMELESS people? Praying this will not turn good people into bad people.
What will happen to the debris? Who'll clear them? Where will they dump them? Recycling site or we've to wait for another heavy downpour of rain again.............? Demolition's done by gradual process. Step by step.
wet vedpu du it's not good
we have waited a very long to see the demolition of Sodom and Gomorrah, that is right it will pave way.
