  We now reaping the results of our failure to plan.
  
  Please go back to the drawing board and start proper town planning to avoid future re-occurrence or else next time a whole town will be in shambles and “had we know” will be the thing of the past with lost of lives and resources.
  What do you expect Mr. President.
  This is not Rocket Science. Garbage in garbage out is a basics principle in Process and Systems Engineering. This is not rocket science abi…..

  Wednesday 03 June will forever ring in the minds of Ghanaians as one of the bad memories in the history of the country. The flood coupled with explosions from GOIL filling station that swallowed about 190 lives just within a few hours.
  The story of floods and other natural disasters were far away folktales been told to children .But today here we find ourselves as victims of it.
  The black WEDNESDAY , made Ghana's history a scary one to be told to generations to come.
  Ghanaians, lets keep praying because we are unaware of what the next minute holds .
  May the souls of the victims of black WEDNESDAY rest in perfect peace as they dwell in a place of comfort.
  GOD HELP GHANA .

  It’s a nice piece of “a long letter”
  But I am wondering, how many people the means to read it.
  Most of the victims to the disaster can’t probably afford an ordinary daily newspaper, least, access to the Network.

  these days we carry
  kooko in plastic
  water in plastic
  fufu and soup in plastic
  fried yam in plastic
  rice& stew in plastic
  waakye in plastic
  everything in plastic
  
  And where do we throw the waste plastic wraps?
  
  Leave little jehovah god out of this. he did not create plastic.
  
  We need leadership with foresight. Not those who are sleepwaking while we drown.
