Public transport.
NPP and NDC could have fixed this long ago.
Every day, people waste hours in traffic, fight for trotro, pay rising fares, and still get poor service.
A serious country would have built a proper bus system, railway links, park-and-ride stations, and safe transport for workers and students but here too, we get promises, launches, rebrands, and excuses. We really deserve better.
Is it fair to say Ghana’s problems are not being solved but expanded day in day out?
We nationalize gold and forget about public transportation.Instead of building systems, we lobby GPRTU not to raise fares or hand them diesel subsidies just to score political points.
We’ll fund Intercity (at 100 cedis and above a ride)but can’t fix the intra-city commute at 4 cedis.
Same energy we give gold over cocoa,always chasing the glamorous thing while the everyday suffers.
Only in Ghana. 🇬🇭

Government websites and digital services.
NPP and NDC could have fixed this by now.
Too many government websites are outdated, slow, insecure, hard to use or simply not working when citizens need them.
A serious country should make it easy to pay, apply, verify, complain, track and access public services online. Instead, citizens still suffer because simple systems are not properly built or maintained. We deserve better.
Public basic schools.
NPP and NDC could have fixed this long ago.
No child should be learning under a tree, sitting on the floor, sharing old textbooks or going to school without proper toilets, desks, teachers and classrooms.
Then years later, we blame the same children for not performing well. A serious country does not wait for children to fail before pretending to care.
In 2025, the Education Minister, Haruna Iddrisu said about 5,000 schools were still operating under trees.
Think about that.
After all the manifestos, loans, budgets, promises and campaign speeches, some children are still learning without proper classrooms.
At the same time, the Education Minister is talking about introducing AI, coding, robotics and electronics into basic education. I am not against AI. Ghana must prepare for the future.
But how do we talk about AI in schools when some children do not even have proper classrooms, desks, textbooks, toilets or teachers?
We cannot pretend to be serious about tomorrow while ignoring the children suffering today.
The rot is so deep that in Ghana today, when a young person speaks, the first question is not whether the person is making sense.
The first question is, “Who paid you?”
That alone should scare us.
We have become so used to people selling their conscience that honesty now looks suspicious. Patriotism now looks sponsored. Speaking the truth now looks like an agenda.
And the saddest part is that the youth, who should be asking the hardest questions, are being trained to fight each other instead of questioning the system that keeps failing them.
They have turned our poverty into a weapon, our loyalty into a market, and our anger into entertainment.
So instead of demanding better roads, jobs, schools, healthcare, internet, drainage, security and real opportunities, we are busy asking which party someone belongs to.
A broken country does not only destroy buildings and institutions. It also destroys the people’s ability to believe that someone can still care without being paid.
That is the real tragedy. Ghana must work!
country dey flood, ndc ministers dey award demma body. economy dey bleed, npp ministers dey cut e-levy cake. so, if people say both parties are from the same team but repping in home/away jerseys, they’re right. stupid ass leaders
I hope you guys know there are NPP supporters who actually thrive on us being angry at the government.
They don’t want solutions. They don’t want progress. They want permanent outrage because it benefits their politics.
Open your eyes. 👍🏾
Accra has a traffic problem.
Over the past 2 months we’ve been digging for secrets on how Accra got into this mess, and more importantly how we dig ourself out.
and we’re finally ready to share it.
Our first explainer - Accra, the City that Can’t Move, premieres on YouTube today at 6pm.
see you thereee.
Credit where it’s due.
I’ve spent months criticizing these digital bills, the Ministry, and the Minister of Communications because I believed some of the proposals were dangerous and needed to be challenged.
Having gone through the amendments, I can say that many of the concerns Ghanaians raised have been addressed. The truth is, all the noise wasn’t in vain. The tweets, the Spaces, the articles, the stakeholder meetings and the public pressure made a difference.
So thank you to the Ministry and the Minister @samgeorgegh for listening. We won’t agree on everything, but listening to citizens and making changes when concerns are raised is exactly how the process should work.
That’s a win for Ghana. 🇬🇭
@MpolokengNtoi@LilDonking379@_afro_politan You are the one pressed that we evacuated out of the supposed land of milk and honey. You asked us to leave we have, you asked for our citizens who are illegitimately in your country to leave we did that. Now you claim we lied? That you attacked and brutalized Ghanaian citizens?
Every single year, this barbaric xenophobia erupts and our response? Diplomacy.
Even in 2015, when two of our brothers were beaten to death in cold blood, we chose quiet diplomacy. The perpetrators walked free. No justice. No consequences.
Now, with mobs openly threatening more violence by June 30, we’re expected to sit aloof, fold our arms, and trust the same failed playbook?
Enough.
We did the right thing by chartering flights to bring our people home. Safety is not negotiable. True brotherhood doesn’t mean sacrificing our citizens on the altar of empty handshakes while they live in fear.
"Go back home and fix your country" was in plain English.
@_afro_politan This was the perfect response by our government, we gave the South African government every opportunity to fix this. In the end our government bear ulmate responsibility for Ghanaians. And this is the best diplomatic signal of our displeasure, we gave them what they wanted.
For a video that's 25s, the commentator did not even mention her name... not even once!
I remember people making excuses for the commentator, that he thought Danielle Williams was in the lead, but how about when the camera focused on Tobi Amusan after she had won the race?
These are the issues!
Tobi led this race, at least from the third barrier, but it was Williams and Keni Harrison, who both trailed her, that were talked about.
Almost as if Tobi wasn't there...
This govt tried to prove they are different by closing the gap between leadership & the people to understand them better. Instead of appreciating the access, these young guys on Twitter are just using it to disrespect Sam George without justification. They are abusing the opennes
