The media is part of the problem too, wallahi. There’s severe flooding and you’re interviewing Kwesi Botchway. Is he a flood management expert? Is he an engineer? What exactly is he supposed to tell us about the causes or solutions? At times, it feels like we’re more interested in political commentary than hearing from the people who can actually explain what’s happening.
One of my core aims in attending Harvard Law School was to study how public-interest lawsuits are framed, as part of my broader aim to someday use community lawyering to demand change in Ghana.
Then I realized that I needed money to do it. In a society where people don't support public advocacy, you are always on your own.
It is the reason we don't have activists. Our society may not survive. It is designed to fail.
Who the fuck do you people think you are and what will I be looking for from you to move to you? 😂😂😂😂 . As in, you go fit move to me or something ? Nigga you posted a picture I posted myself like you made a discovery. Anas AremeJON
About four weeks ago, I arrived in Ghana from the US.
Within 3 hours of arriving in Ho, I was nearly involved in a fatal accident at K.K House in Ho.
This near-accident occurred because the traffic light system regulating traffic at the KK. House Junction stopped working, so drivers drove through the intersection using their own judgment and discretion.
I nearly became statistics.
I spent the midnight drafting a petition to the Ministry of Roads, the MCE, the Regional Minister, and the Roads and Safety Authority.
I served a copy of the Office of the Attorney General, indicating that I will sue within 30 days if this isn't done.
Within 4 days, the traffic light was repaired.
Ghana can only work if we are willing to compel it to work. Our leaders are sleeping. We must either remove them or compel them to work.
With sufficient funding, we can begin a nationwide accountability process that gets things done.
I have seen how it is done in the US. It is possible. But first, we need funds!
Think about it! Help if you can.
Not that it would make it okay if it were the politician, but sometimes it’s not even them. It’s their child going to buy Matcha and not wanting to sit in traffic.
I don’t even mean to be pessimistic, but the sacrifices required to prevent this from happening again next year simply won’t be made. Not by the government or even citizens. So everyone should just make the best decisions they can for themselves.
The streetlights in sunyani works!
I was so shocked when I saw them… I’m so used to the darkness from atomic roundabout to Kwabenya. The lights were actually on
Ghana’s ability to be just a terrible team with terrible vibes and no momentum but show up at the World Cup and cause problems for everyone never ceases to amaze me
I love how we can collectively as a nation see that we won’t progress anywhere in this World Cup 😂😂. Those times you’d see some streaks of brilliance that gave us false hope. Let’s channel this energy to fix our streetlights and drainages pls.
