Victoria Lebene blames Ghana’s floods on poor sanitation, calls for national responsibility
In the past few weeks, heavy rainfall has led to major flooding challenges in Accra and beyond.
However, Ghanaian actress Victoria Lebene has attributed the recent flooding issues to “God being angry” with the country.
In a video shared on her social media platform on May 28, 2026, the actress said the continuous flooding in the country is a sign that citizens must take responsibility for their actions, claiming that God is angry with the nation.
“God is angry with us. Ghanaians, God is angry with us… God Himself, in His own wisdom, knows what is good for you. He has chosen you for a specific country. I mean, I can understand that we’re in the rainy season, but do you see the level of rain, the level of floods, and the level of disasters happening because of the rain? God is indeed angry with us,” she stated.
Victoria Lebene expressed disappointment in the way many Ghanaians handle sanitation and national development.
She explained that many people complain about the state of the country, yet contribute to the very problems affecting society by throwing filth into gutters, which become choked when it rains and eventually lead to flooding.
“Everybody is complaining that another country is doing this or that, but the same people in this country will go outside and pour filth and rubbish into gutters. Then when it rains, it causes floods, the rubbish chokes the whole system, and we stand up wanting to go and live in another country. Another country that has its systems and everything intact,” she noted.
According to her, while travelling abroad for business, holidays, or education is understandable, Ghanaians should focus more on fixing problems at home instead of always looking for greener pastures elsewhere.
Submissiveness does not mean you have to be timid – Victoria Lebene
Victoria Lebene also called on citizens, especially the youth, to support John Dramani Mahama in his efforts to improve the country, describing him as someone who is doing a good job.
“Right now, let us sit up and ask ourselves: what is there to do? What is there to be corrected? Let us help ourselves. Right now, President Mahama is doing a good job. We need to help him as youth. We need to help him as good citizens. We need to help him as a serious country. Even if the country is not serious, let us make the country serious,” she added.
