  if they had better life then why moved to Accra.? your article only lamented the problem but will not offer any solutions to it. the movement of people to urban areas could be halted.

  How I wish God can use me to help those helpless young brothers and sisters, especially the females among them whose portion of their basic existence and right to live as human beings is that of persistent rape and abuse of all forms, a menace caused to bear on them by our callous, wicked, greedy and selfish past and present leaders. Those buffoons prefer to spend hundredth 0f millions to keep them in power only to overlook the basic needs of the poor. How much will it take to provide decent bathroom facilities for, say, 200 of these oppressed and helpless street dwellers? About 100,000 dollars can do the trick, l guess! But here we are with a young lady politician, caught on tape pledging on her honor to amass not less than 1-million dollars of the people's money before she call it a quit to politics when her own people bath and ship in the open. How greedy and selfish! Yet they have the temerity and the shameful audacity to canvas for the votegs of the same poor people to keep them in power. Do such people deserve to live? Hell no!
  aren't the likes of the boastful rich Kennedy Adjapong,Ibrahim Mahama and the likes get ashamed when the drive and fly around in their luxuries in the such a nasty environment? Charity is what l am suggesting here from each and everyone to offer the opportunity for the betterment of the lives of those brother sisters who live on the street.
  Finally, now that we are the tthreshold waiting for the usher in of a new year, let us pray for ourselves for ourselves, especially for trokosis, not to dig our hands into the people's money, and also persuade their nyebro Woyome to return the money he has stolen that has deprived the kayayos their right to live as human beings

  Driving around Accra which is suppose to be the capital of the Country, the things you see are dreadful in this 21st century. The question we need to ask is do our learned Politicians really know the essential things to tackle?
  Instead of wasting money on things like the convoy of ten cars on the trout with only a driver sitting in the 4x4. Who is going to kill a minister and for what? Maybe because they are causing the individual to suffer they are weary of themselves. This Country is a joke. A Ghanaian does not deserve the good life they enjoy. It is time we as nationals sit and analyse what we need for the betterment of the country. I think we should get rid of politics and get those we think are able to govern.

  We must stop worshiping money. Worshiping money means thinking that our lives depend on what money can buy. It is the lure of money that draws people away from the villages, and it is the lure of money that gives these ministers the impression that they will be victimized by the needy when they are the ones spending money that belongs to the needy. Taking money that belongs to others in the form of paying oneself with money that should be used set aside for the needy is stealing. Everyone deserves good housing and good food but not an extravagant lifestyle. The needy are small children and the elderly, the sick and victims of accidents. Some of us still think the needy carry with them plagues or familial curses. Some think the needy should be the sole responsibility of their immediate families, with this view I agree to a certain extent. The immediate family should be first in line to advise people against going to the cities in search of money or taking better care of themselves, or not exposing themselves to danger. They must be the ones in line to take care of that newborn and that aging person. We strive not to appear to be needful, but naked we come and naked we will be taken away as needy people. We must change our attitude towards money. The love of money is the root of all evil.

  Asiwome, rightly said.
  This days people have become obsessed with money and will do anything for it. Life shouldn't be about extravagance but unfortunately this is the situation.

  ONE CA SEE THESE THINGS ALL THE TIME AND OUR LEADERS THINK THEIR SITTING IN BMW'S MAKE THEM BETTER PERSONS IN THE EYES OF FOREIGNERS. WHAT THEY SEE AROUND CORNERS AND PLACES WHERE THEY DO NOT SUSPECT IS WHAT THEY WILL PHOTOGRAPH AND SHOW IT TO THE WORLD. IT IS UP TO THE RADIO STATIONS TO BROADCAST IN THE LOCAL LANGUAGES THAT IT IS NOT ALRIGHT TO BE URINATING IN PUBLIC ALL OVER THE PLACE. HAVING SAID THAT, MY QUESTION IS, WHERE WILL THEY GO IF NATURE CALLS. THE POLITICIANS DO NOT THINK ABOUT THE NEED TO PROVIDE PLACES OF CONVENIENCE FOR THE PUBLIC WHEN THEY ARE ABOUT. POVERTY, POVERTY AND POVERTY IS THE CAUSE!!!

  “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country JFK.” People are always pointing figures at the government instead of looking at the situation at hand from a different angle. Those porters migrated to Accra are the reason why Accra is filthy and smelly because they come to Accra with no accommodations they sleep in uncompleted houses and on the corner of the streets, shit and urinate on the roadside and in uncompleted houses. The solutions to their problems are not the government. The porters have the power to change their own lives by staying in their hometowns to improve their lives and their communities. We cannot all leave in one small city. No wonder Accra is so filthy.
