This is why I have a problem with the statement, “Yesrɛ aban se…”. A lot of people assume that the government interventions are favors and not a social contract that governance is. Until people realize that, holding our leaders accountable will always be in the distant future
The main problem with basically every issue in Ghana is that the government has convinced you that working for you is some sort of favour. It’s not.
The day the majority of Ghanaians realize that is the day we’ll have any real hope of turning the fortunes of this country around.
If I live in Airport Hills, flooding is someone else's problem. Sanitation isn’t my concern. water flows consistently, dumsor is rare, the roads are smooth, and bc I work from home, traffic hardly affects me. I own a car, so public transport is irrelevant. I can afford those1/2
You will pay street light levy and drive in darkness.
Pay water bill and have to dig a borehole still.
Pay sanitation levy and be expected to close your business to go sweep gutters.
What the hell are they doing with my money?!
Decayed and Neglected: The deplorable state of roundabouts in Accra and Tema
At the Ogbodjo roundabout, the problem is made worse by recent downpours. The potholes become muddy pools of water after it rains. The rainwater masks holes deep enough to punish any driver who mistakes the surface for safe asphalt. The roundabout is a busy route for commuters, linking Madina, East Legon and Adenta/Ashaley Botwe.
Ironically, the La Nkwantanang Municipal Assembly, which is responsible for basic infrastructure in the area is less than 300 metres away. Despite the proximity of the assembly to the heavily damaged roundabout, the state of the roundabout has remained unchanged save for some occasional patch work.

At the Tema Valco Roundabout, the most severe damage is within a lane that leads commuters from the Tema Harbour to other parts of Tema and Accra. The stretch has deteriorated so badly that it is described by some drivers as “manholes.” Rather than ease traffic, some residents told The Fourth Estate that the route is accident prone.
Drivers using the stretch are forced to slow down to protect their vehicles from damage. A narrow pavement along the road has turned into a contested turf between pedestrians and motorists avoiding the damaged road. Most of the drivers, in an attempt to dodge the potholes, drive over pavement straight towards a busy bus stop, often startling pedestrians.

Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. #FIFAWorldCup
The president admits he doesn’t know what a red card means, calls the referee ‘suspect,’ and confirms he personally asked FIFA to overturn it because it hit ‘our best player.’ Corruption confessed on camera. A dysfunctional country hosting a tournament it doesn’t understand and can’t win without rigging. The US has nothing left to do in football
