I’ve been thinking a lot about how we engage on trending issues;especially in regards to those that go against what we believe is the norm.
And I’ve come to a realization that the average Ghanaian knows very little beyond what he/she has been told, taught or raised on.

Do you guys know that 3 days ago my weather app said there would be thunderstorms for two days and it didn’t rain?
Y’all are clowning them but asking for updates at the same time. SMH.
It’s a forecast, and nature has its own mind also.
The day you don’t take these updates seriously, you will wish you did.
NIGHT FORECAST 02/07/2026
Rain of varying intensity is expected tonight over parts of the northern, transition, coastal, and inland areas of the country. Along the coastline and inland areas, slight to moderate rain is likely to persist into the morning and afternoon hours under mostly cloudy conditions. Mist or fog patches may form over hilly and forested areas during the early morning hours. As the day progresses into the afternoon, northern Ghana will experience sunny weather with periodic cloud cover, while some areas in the southern half may experience thunderstorms or rain.
Suddenly, everybody has something to say about the attitude of Ghanaians.
But weren’t we all here a few years ago when we were told to “fix ourselves”? We pushed back then, didn’t we? Now, somehow, everyone has suddenly decided that our attitude is the reason we’re where we are.
So let me ask again: at what point do our institutions take responsibility? At what point do the people we pay to plan, regulate, enforce and lead accept their share of the blame?
I’ll never stop saying this: when you go to countries where the streets are clean and the drains work, it’s not because their citizens are magically better people.
Yes, attitude matters,personal responsibility matters and we all have a role to play.
But functioning societies don’t operate on attitude alone; they have bins where they’re needed, they enforce sanitation laws, they stop people from building in waterways, they maintain infrastructure, they punish offenders.
Institutions do their jobs.
It’s both.
Yet somehow, every conversation in Ghana now ends with, “It’s our attitude.”
So why are we paying people?
Fine. Let’s say I fix my attitude today.
Will my road stop flooding?
“We may have to rethink and review our punishment regime, and to clothe the Ghana Education Service with authority to deal ruthlessly with students who misbehave.”
— The Minister for Education, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, has hinted at a major overhaul of disciplinary measures in Senior High Schools, aimed at empowering the Ghana Education Service (GES) to take tougher action against student misconduct amid rising cases of indiscipline among students.

On the topic of xenophobia and infact in every other topic or sphere that you should expect common sense to rule; Just know that you Can’t “Out-debate” an Ignorant or Stupid person into seeing or having Sense.
Know this and know peace.
Media must be a really cynical business to be in. Rage baiting and monetizing outrage regularly. Big up all the spaces where great journalism still matters.
#WHAAAAAAT?
The behaviour of some public officials is extremely difficult to understand.
Can someone explain why a public official would put guests on an aircraft and fly them to Europe or another destination to celebrate his or her birthday?
The practice of taking videos and photographs of these usually extravagant parties and posting them on social media is even more shocking.
What about those public officials who insist that their pregnant wives cannot deliver their babies in Ghana and fly them to the United States of America, Europe, or South Africa?
All these happen against a backdrop of extreme poverty in Ghana which these public officials swear to defeat.
Can or will the Mahama administration make a difference?
“Mr. President, we love you, but we disagree with your statement that the flooding in Accra is not an engineering problem. There are many engineering challenges in the city, particularly concerning our drainage systems and bridges. The Klagon Bridge is one example, as the engineer chose to use culverts to channel water despite the volume and force of the flow.”
— Ghanaian musician Kwaw Kese shares his views on the recurring floods in Greater Accra, arguing that engineering flaws and poor drainage infrastructure are major contributing factors.
