I love Ghana but we have a serious problem
I’m sure most of us are aware of the awful floods in the greater Accra region as well as most recently a fire outbreak. Fires and floods and Ghana (although unpredictable at times) are unfortunately rather common and it’s still baffles me that in big 2026 with a standing/reputation that this country has not just within Africa but globally, that we are not equipped (whether it’s infrastructure, resources, personnel with appropriate training) to deal with this. Instead we have our president and ministers essentially vlogging these disasters and “assessing” the extent of damage, whilst shifting blame onto private companies/ citizens. Whilst I do think that culturally we don’t have the highest of regards for environmental safety, I think if we had widespread education + laws in place with proportionate enforceable punishments, it would go a long way to changing attitudes
