So with all his university education didn't Mahama foresee this coming. I think history education has made Mahama moronic. I will never even advice my enemy to study history at the university.

I went through circle today just to see the flyover and most motorists, as reported on other networks were only there to see what was there. That increased the unusual situation. In a week's time all will settle. If people here that traffic will improve in an area they all move there and after it normalises.

For the past one year the Circle Interchange has always been there and motorist have been using certain portions of the facility for the past one year and so I don't see what will prompt Motorists to fall head-over-heels to catch a glimpse of the flyover. The problem arising is scientific one. It is just like draining a flooded area. You must always create channels for the flood water to exit, making sure not to allow the water to find its way into other residential areas. Cars, unlike flood water, cannot find their own levels and so must have to stay on the road for a longer time with their attendant pollution and noise.

Mr. Mahama and his looting brigade are not interested in the priorities that would ease the suffering of Ghanaians; they are only interested in prestigious projects for the enjoyment of few ruling elites and deceive gullible voters regardless of whether the inflated projects are priorities and value for money or not.

Does the insensitive NDC government think, despite the massive corruption and incompetence, they could borrow recklessly and spend their way foolishly into another mandate in 2016 while the nation is over burdened with HIPC and workers wallowing in hunger? I wonder how they are going to account for the 40 plus billion dollars they have borrowed so far to land our country in HPIC and bankruptcy.

Governance under the NDC is all about 'opium of the people'. They enjoy everything under the sun but ask us to wait for our basic needs in heaven. And as they are asking us to tighten our belts for future betterment, they have already loosened theirs for immediate consumption. They didn't even respect our intelligence when they said there would be paradise in Ghana if we gave them a third mandate in the coming elections.

The truth is that, everything they promise is a mirage and we will never find comfort under them because; they are con-men with con plans.

Officially there is a place in Koforidua called Anlo Town. That is the official name of the area. One of the Eastern Regional youth organisers of the NDC, Dodzie, was born and bred there. You can ask him.

Stop scratching the surface of my comment and tell Ghanaians why, for over 27years years in power, the NDC has refused to tar and construct roads in its strongest holds in the Eastern Region. Is this not senseless. Shame unto you.

Ghanaians have been reduced to mediocrity and ordinary. What is the big deal of one flyover when over twenty (20) could have been constructed had it not been for the fact that Dramani Mahama and the NDC gangs have stolen all the money. Ghana would have been a paradise if the greedy bastards have not stolen all our money. Just imagine the circle interchange cost less than 100 milion dollars and we gave Woyome alone 42 million Euros in hundreds of millions, millions to SAADA, millions to GYEEDA, millions to ISOFOTON, hundreds of millions stolen at National Service Secretariat, millions stolen at National Lotteries, millions stolen at Internal revenue, millions stolen to build hotel in Dubai, gold bars stolen and caught in Turkey, millions taken away by Allotey Jacobs to the US, millions given for people to buy houses in the US, millions taken by Nketiwaa to buy a mansion in Canada, millions stolen by Nketiiwaa from the Bui dam, and many hundreds of millions stolen!!!!!!. How many of these interchanges would have been in the country now? And Ghanaians are happy because on one interchange after more than twenty costing the same have been stolen? Ghanaians wake up!!!!!!!. NDC and Mahama cannot continue like this!!!. Let vote out this NDC and build a better Ghana.

City planners anywhere in the world will tell you that freeing up traffic in one part of a town will create it somewhere else. The interchange itself may be free but there will be gridlock elsewhere, simply put, the burden is shifted elsewhere. There should have been an integral component to this project instead of focusing on a localised solution. But then again, in their haste to put their name on the project, they missed out that vital element of integration, typically African half-baked half-thought through projects.

What was the purpose of the flyover? Do you mean drivers do not know how to use flyovers so it has to take time before they can ply on? Who wants to remain in traffic is there's an efficient means? Go back to learn.

Do you know the money spent on the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange alone could have built two additional ones at Obetsebi and Dankwah if a good pricing policy was put in place?

Yesterday Mahama saids drivers will now notice time saving. However,the reality is facing drivers in the face. The problem is worse. I said already that we must cut our coat according to our size.
We are hungry,and we have no jobs,but that is not Mahama's priority.
Mahama must know that Ghana's friends will still be our friends with or without this interchange. We borrow to build,and go begging,Mahama that shows that you are incompetent.

There is no way that the old one was better than the new. I suspect the writer of this article might be against the current government. Hence wants to discredit what has been done. Note the traffic U see today is simply normal in that everyone wants to drive to the place and see what it looks like and how it is to drive over it. The many cars today, there are those who are there out of curiousity. I amk not in Accra at the moment. As soon as I come back, I'll drive there to see the place and also to test how to use the place. And many are doing. I do not have any business over there but just to see and test driving through the place. No doubt the new is better than the old.

Ghanaians are too quick to lay blame on the heels of the government when things go sour. People should be patient, once the novelty of using the newly constructed interchange wears off, traffic will return to normalcy.

This type of useless journalism will kill this country. What kind of nonsense is this. So the government shouldn't have constructed the interchange or what? Foolish NPP Journalist.

It is too much to expect that the Kwame Nkrumah interchange will do very much to solve the traffic problem in Accra. Accra is interconnected by dozens of roundabouts and solving the traffic problem on just one of them just moves the gridlock to the next roundabout. I expect a very messy gridlock at the Obetsebie Lamptey roundabout in Abossey Okai since the traffic from the new interchange will bring more cars to Abossey Okai.

Heeee! In seriously disappointed in some Ghanains. Thus thing was commissioned just yesterday so I expect s lot of drivers to try it and see. I don't understand why a whole media house shd take such a negative approach to reporting news. My fellow Ghanaians, let's be very careful about these media outlets. They are really the course of most of the misunderstandings that we find ourselves in. Shame

I surely believe that many drivers want 2 text the interchange drive that's made them follow the same route.

This has nothing to do with sight seeing. It's a weekday and not many people have time for that. The real problem is that there are no traffic lights and there was no form of education on how to use it. With all the money they wasted, they could have done some short instructional video on how to use it. At least some days before the inauguration. They wanted it to me some kind of surprise and now here we are. And if just so u know, the traffic at circle has affected Kasoa too.

This piece is very unfortunate. We have new hospitals- they either expensive or not in existence.We have roads constructed- They either not there or expensive- Schools are built- they are either expensive or not complete or not in existence,'Domso' is fixed- There will be domso again when this president is voted to continua or Ghana is owing Nigeria and we can't pay so...and now circle interchange too we are complaining again about Traffic. Oh Ghana NPP stations will build castles in the air for you and that will be a reality.
