You think you write sense too much, my friend we see all this before. Go and Sleep

[Richard Ahiagbah @RAahiagbah]

Flooding in Accra is not new. It has challenged governments for decades, and no serious administration can pretend such a deep problem can be solved with seasonal sympathy or reactive press tours after the rains. What distinguishes governments is whether they see the crisis as a one-time emergency or as a structural development challenge requiring engineering, planning, and ongoing investment.
The Akufo-Addo–Bawumia government chose the latter.

In 2017, President Akufo-Addo established a Cabinet Sub-Committee with a single mandate: to create a comprehensive plan to tackle Ghana's persistent flooding, prioritizing Accra. It was the first national effort to move beyond just clearing gutters annually and toward a permanent solution.

That commitment was supported with funding and consistency. Over eight years, the government allocated more than GHS550 million to emergency flood relief, drainage repairs, and desilting in flood-prone communities, year after year, because flood prevention requires maintenance, not just photo opportunities.

The core of this strategy was the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development Project, GARID, a $200 million partnership with the World Bank focused on the Odaw River Basin. GARID moved away from the traditional approach of clearing gutters after disasters and instead introduced an integrated program that included drainage construction, flood-mitigation engineering, solid waste reform, community upgrades, and disaster preparedness, all working together.

The funding allocations demonstrate the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government's commitment to solving the problem. About $92 million was allocated to climate-resilient drainage and flood-mitigation infrastructure. $42.2 million was allocated to solid waste management systems, including transfer stations and disposal facilities, because blocked drains caused by uncollected refuse pose a significant flood risk. $58.8 million was invested in upgrading vulnerable, low-income communities in flood zones. When COVID-19 prompted a global reallocation of World Bank funds, the government did not allow GARID to falter. In 2024, it secured $150 million to keep the initiative alive.

By the time the NPP left office, progress was visibly underway. Dredging of the Odaw River started in February 2024. Drainage construction was active at Achimota-Abofu and South Kaneshie. The Busia Highway drainage project had been awarded and mobilized. Protection works at Atomic East were already completed. For the first time, Ghana was also deploying a modern Flood Early Warning System for Accra, with equipment installed, service providers contracted, and safe zones identified, so that vulnerable communities could receive warnings before disaster struck, rather than only hearing about it afterward.

The most transformative project, the Atomic East and Atomic West Detention Ponds, was designed to capture stormwater from higher elevations and reduce downstream flooding across large parts of Accra. It had reached the final design stage and was being actively procured when NPP left office in January 2025. This was set to be the most impactful flood-control measure.

The evidence speaks for itself. The Akufo-Addo–Bawumia government did not ignore Accra's flooding crisis. It approached it with planning, engineering, international collaboration, sustained financing, and tangible infrastructure development.

What Ghanaians deserve now is honesty about what has happened since. The current government did not inherit a void. It inherited momentum, secured financing, had active contractors, and a clear plan in motion. However, these inherited projects have noticeably slowed, and the question is why. A government that inherits solutions and allows them to stagnate cannot blame its predecessor for failing to build on the momentum and the legacies it inherited. The NPP built momentum around addressing Accra's flooding crisis. Ghanaians are entitled to know why the projects are now stalled.

@DennisMiracles have you seen what your boss has written, something just have small sense it will help you in future.

[Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia @MBawumia]

This morning, my thoughts and prayers are with the thousands of our people affected by the floods. My deepest sympathies to those who have lost their loved ones, properties, and those who have been forced out of their homes.

I urge citizens to comply with all directives issued by the Government and to cooperate fully with institutions mandated to address the situation.

I also urge the emergency services and all relevant authorities to do everything possible to reach those in need and assist them.

We will get through this difficult time by caring for one another.

May God bless our homeland Ghana.

Advice from people who have not even move their legs before .You people have use this stupid opinion of yours to destroy the black star as a team and created hatred among the players. LET HIM BE . NONSENSE 🤣

[Isaac 'Opeele' McLaurin Boateng 🇺🇲🇺🇲 @CoachOpeele]

I just finished talking to an American who loves Soccer and he said, Semenyo looked timid or lack of courage in the Ghana team he watched against Panama

I agreed with him and told him, it feels like Semenyo behaving like I am at my corner. I think Semenyo has to be strong and bold by calling on or scream at his teammates like Osimhen does in the Nigerian team. He is the Starman, he needs to be seen, he needs to show up tomorrow. Star men steal moments and conjure magic. Don't be shy be our Star man Semenyo!

Honorable humbly check your DM

[Sam 'Dzata' George 🦁🇬🇭 @samgeorgegh]

You demanded. We engaged. @MTNGhana has responded.

Effective today, fibre broadband prices have crashed!

Previously, for a month of unlimited 100 Mbps broadband, you paid GHS 987. Today, for the same 100 Mbps, you pay GHS 299.

For GHS999, you get a 500 Mbps unlimited broadband package, and for GHS444, you get a 300 Mbps unlimited package.

I want to express my gratitude to the management and staff of MTN who have heeded our call for more affordable, stable and reliable fibre broadband. From the @MoCDTI, we will continue to push for better service packages for the Ghanaian people.

For God and Country. 🦁🇬🇭

Following false allegations that he had not built any boreholes in his community, Okatakyie Afrifa silenced his critics by sharing video proof of his projects.

He then returned to his hometown of Agona yesterday, where he held a highly successful community engagement.

Honourable please check your DM from me . Thank you

[Sam 'Dzata' George 🦁🇬🇭 @samgeorgegh]

Why do some of you do this? The Ministry NEVER contacted @koboateng to host a space for us in the first place so how did we remove him as a host. Can you or anyone show any engagement from the Ministry to that effect? These are pretty cheap lies. Please!

[Joe Addy @AddyJoe]

It always looks like you politicians don't respect yourself at all , how do you praise such a character . You think we have forgotten what you guys did in power right and tell your cousin to return back home to face accountability if he has any respect for GHANA 🇬🇭

[Gabby Otchere-Darko @GabbyDarko]

Leadership requires courage. Timidity can never be a leadership option. Certainly not in a democracy.

Protecting human rights and guarding the dignity of our legal system require men and women of courage, conviction and patriotic verve.

That is why I doff my hat to Alexander Afenyo-Markin for taking on the judge who displayed such troubling zeal in endorsing the imprisonment of free speech.

It is mistaken to view this through the narrow prism of NPP versus NDC, or ruling party versus opposition. The implications are far broader than partisan politics. In a zeitgeist where Gen Zs cherish and actively exercise the freedom to speak their minds on social media, we must be careful of any actions by the system that appear designed to frighten citizens into silence.

Today it may be a political activist. Tomorrow it could be the journalist, the radio commentator, the student, the taxi driver, or the ordinary young Ghanaian with a smartphone and an opinion.

Let the law deal firmly with those who fall foul of it. But let it never do so by compromising the protection of fundamental human rights, due process, and the freedoms that hold our democracy together. Justice must be done and seen to be manifestly done.

@AfenyoMarkin you are a big disgrace to the Ghana Bar Association 😭

All this is nothing if your workers can't work professionally and treat customers with the maximum respect .You guys go around to convince people to come for loans which at the long run generates profit for you and later wants to treat these same customers like trash. Annoying 😡

You don't respect yourself right, what didn't Akuffo Addo do to the pensioners. Stop misbehaving cuz you are a married man and have kids who calls you daddy for Christ sake.

[Dennis Edward Aboagye @DennisMiracles]

And their only crime?? They worked hard, sold their cocoa to government in anticipation of a promised GHc6,500.

Government deceived them, failed to fulfil the promise amount and went ahead to give them a haircut, reducing their price by a whooping GHc1,030.

Sad spectacle 😭😭

[Joe Addy @AddyJoe]

@samgeorgegh @S_OkudzetoAblak you guys nor der learn .

[Sholla Ard 🇰🇪 @sholard_mancity]

I have been following the case of the Russian man who secretly recorded women in Ghana and Kenya.

Russia has reportedly told Ghana it does not extradite its citizens.
The UK refused to extradite a soldier accused of killing a Kenyan woman.
The U.S. rarely extradites its own. China does not. France too.

Yet African countries continue to hand over their citizens without hesitation.
Why is justice always flowing in one direction?
Are African nations equal partners in the world, or just compliant ones?

Africa deserves reciprocal justice, not selective justice.

No African nation should surrender its citizens where mutual accountability does not exist.
