Now there seems to be a trend in Accra of releasing maybe 50-100 balloons into the sky in memory of the dead for example.
Like seriously? Where do we think they end up? Is it necessary?
So all the plastics/rubbers/rubbish the @buzstopboys dey show we nu, you think it’s from who?
@Maxin_check@wode_maya You have a point! Enforcement probably solves a large part of the problem. But my point is that in many cultures, respect for the land exists beyond what the law requires. Citizens will even fight their own governments when they believe their land is being threatened.
In a couple of years, we’ll have a Ghanaian President at the UNGA shedding crocodile tears about Ghana’s severe water crisis and pleading for all the help the international community can give us.
Meanwhile, we would have spent years allowing galamsey to destroy everything!
To many Ghanaians , east Legon , cantonment , osu and some other places are prime areas. There’s no prime area in Ghana. The whole country is poor. The earlier y’all accept it the better.
It is reported that a test run by the MTTD reportedly caught over 10,000 traffic violations in just one week?
The minimum fine for these offences is 25 penalty units. 1 penalty unit is GHS 12. That’s roughly GHS 3,000,000.
On average, GHS12million = $1m
These are very offences caught on cameras.
London boroughs generated over £1 billion from fines in a year.
Imagine $1m a month in Accra alone can do to city (re)development?
Taxing indiscipline is our best bet.
Either Ghana has a founder, or it does not.
If it does, Nkrumah is that person.
No other person fits that title.
No one imagined Ghana as it was in 1957, with all its territories, modeled government, and the extent of self-rule, as Nkrumah did.
He founded Ghana.
After they finish running after celebrities at 6:30am like children without home training, they’ll come online and shame young women for being lash techs and hairdressers instead of constituting nuisance like them.
