Is it not funny that all the places he mentioned were planned developments before independence under British rule and all the slums and mismanaged planning and slums and a total mess we are seeing of squatters everywhere are after independence. Are we coming or going. We talk big, boast big and act big but have very little as a major city to show for it. It is an embarrassing sight.

"Dad please what is it that you couldn't do as a people because you have been colonised? Now that you're self-governing, are you doing those things?"
A question by my son that I have not been able to answer. I dance around it; you see discrimination, lack of dignity etc etc.
Any help in answering the question?

Theo, you are just talking and saying things we've been saying over the years. You are in government so tell your president to give the the city planners the challenge. Theo, I address you again. Tell the AMA boss where he intends citing his 24hr market in the city center is to be conservative stupid. The place is already clustered and requiring open space so I wonder how a city mayor who has the city planners as partner take a unilateral decision like this. Is it to please the president or what? Again, Accra central is asleep after 7pm so what is the essence of that structure to start with.

All of us will pay dearly for our poor approach to urbanization. Worst things are yet to happen. We are so blinded by corruption that we are not able to plan just five years into the future. Accra has become the laughing stock of city planners in Africa, except Lagos.

Where are the NDC imbeciles and morons during Nana Addo presidency talking about flooding where are they?Are these people no longer human beings seeing Accra flooding anymore?Where are those NDC fools during Nana Addo presidency talking as if they are intelligent than anyone in Ghana.Where are they now that our incompetent president John Dramani Mahama is ruling Ghana.They say they have eyes and can’t see evil things Mahama is doing against Ghana. I hope when power changes those imbeciles and morons NDC noise makers will stay in their rat hole and keep quiet.

What is needed is a modern drainage system as seen in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Going around pulling down houses will never solve the problem.
