I asked a question and was expecting a sensible answer not this emotional reply from you

popizaino:
These ones are trying too hard to redeem the image of Accra that have been battered but kolework. Everyone with a sane mind now sees Accra for what it is underdeveloped village slum.

samorobo:



Ironically you the one that has been oozing out the emotions. Deal with your emotions or it will set you ablaze

Our problem too is our leaders/city planners don't have eyes for beauty. That proper 'avantgarde' sort of beauty. I read somewhere that Nairobi is still following the master plan the British developed for the city. Ghana , Nkrumah abrogated the British master plan and used his own African master plan and successive governments threw that away and are building Accra with no master plan.

Accra is not a planned city in the true sense of the word. So there's money here but our leaders are not taking any drastic measures to modernise Accra, and our spaces are looking ugly. Not to be political, but someone like Mahama has eyes for beauty and it shows in his e-block school designs etc. Nana Addo in his 1st term brought the master planner of Singapore to replan Accra but nothing came of that

Appisko:

And to you lagos and other cites are planned 🤣🤣

He is a Ghanaian and he is focused on Accra. He has no business with Lagos.

Appisko:

mdntiri:

Abuja is planned
Even with Lagos I see lots of beauty. Your taller structures, straight roads, the long bridges that span the lagoons, your beachfront structures, buildings in straight lines, the overhead rail etc all bring some beauty to Lagos

Accra here even though we're a 'beach front city ' like Dakar, Abidjan, Lagos, our beachfront is not developed. The marine drive project which was to do that for us has never materialised. I've been saying we should convert our korle, odaw lagoons in the middle of Accra into waterways that people can ply into the interior of Accra for travel, pleasure etc, like pertains abroad, arch the bridges over them so watercraft can pass under etc, but no.

Accra-tema rail line should be dualized, even electrified. Overcrowded Lagos is even running a Bus Rapid Transit system. We couldn't implement it here even though we sent delegations to Nigeria, Tanzania etc to understudy their BRT. We should be thinking of building a new capital city, or even just a completely new WELL PLANNED CITY but no, our leaders are concerned with other things. Etc etc

Let me help you. ....one of the largest bauxite reserve in Africa, one of the largest mangenese reserve in Africa, very large diamond deposite, huge iron ore deposite, vast arable land both thick rain forest and savana, boundless ocean, salt, largest man-made lake etc you name it. And guess what we will soon become the largest lithium producer in west africa, if not Africa and we are repeating the same mistakes we did with the other previous resources. The same old plan-find an investor to mine and export it in its raw form, he gives you peanuts he takes lion share, repatriate the profit back home, rinse and repeat. No clear strategy to own and dominate the lithium industry even in Ghana.

The truth is Ghana has failed big time. I'm a Ghanaian, and its so painful saying this.
I am not the type to tickle myself and laugh.

Ghana had a very good start in its early years, at one time we had a higher literacy rate, more phd holders and scientists etc than most African countries. We have failed woefully. The earlier we as Ghanaians know this and do something about it the better for us all.

I know my fellow Ghanaians will come for my head, but I'm ok with that. If you go to tarkwa, obuasi, bibiani etc and all the mining towns and you don't feel sorry for Ghana then its either you are not a Ghanaian or you are being delusional. I refuse to be my oppressor's praisesinger.

And who told you the BRT system in Ghana is not a successful one? You guys are quick to criticized every venture in your own country and glorify your neighbor as if everything is eldorado there. Juxtaposing lagos and Accra , Accra will passed as a small london , and I mean it and not because of patriotism

Just take a look at Nigeria with his over 200 million people, she still suffers from lack of electricity, most of his towns and cities do not have electricity for weeks or months on end.

I have been to ayangba in kogi state ( almost ending to benue state , the road and the bridges are eye sore ( this is a town that host a university) imagine, Most of her villages do not have any electricity at all ( something that is almost impossible in Ghana) no matter how remote the village might be in Ghana , there is presence of light, even in the far away North like bawku.

in many of their homes , there is no pipeborne water supply unless you pump your own reservoir of water( it is either well beater or borehole) Do you know how many Ghanaian rely on govt water supply daily?.

In ayangba ( kogi state ) for instance, it is either you buy water in Jerry cans from privately owned water pumps or this "meruwa "guys ( kayayo in Ghana) visit the inner cities , too many roads are unsurfaced and potholed can easily be accessed.


If you are looking at a planned city in Ghana , why can't you talk about Akosombo , some part of TEMA and winneba( this City were planned even before Abuja) GHANA does not actually need a new capital, what we need is a decentralized system .

Every major city should have a presence of govt just like south africa with about three to four capital cities .Some part of Accra are even planned ( cantonment , ridge, dzworlu airport residence are all planned ) and some part of lagos are even far worse than medina or ashaiman, if that is what you are missing .you don't recognized gold until it is replaced with stone .


And if you don't believe in Accra progress (look back at Accra 10 years ago and compare it to what it is now . And again , we can make a just comparison between Accra and the city you mentioned up there if you still doubt Accra progress.

A major reason why we should be ashamed of ourselves as Ghanaians. We run down our own and cherish and protect the foreigner. You and I know what would have happened if it was Ibrahim Maham or any other capable Ghanaian who was building this. What happened to TOR expansion eehh ?

There's a documentary by Joy Prime, if you watch it you will know why this country is where it is. In that documentary a group of Ghanaians created a cylinder manufacturing company, to compete with the one being imported by a political figure from China. The authorities used their power to collapse the Ghanaian company and brought in a chinese company to produce and sell the cylinder at a price far higher than the one by the Ghanaian company, with even lesser regulations and restrictions compared to the Ghanaian company. This country eeh, we dont even know how to protect and support our own and you want to develop. Funny people!!!

if you are not depressed on making money within your ability . Can you work with starlife assurance? ( You may be involved in it while you search for better offer) I promised you will get enlisted tommorow unless you don't like the kind of job they offered onboard. .

Just check your locality and see if starlife assurance is present or better still look for the nearest neighborhood. You don't need to contact anybody. You can do it yourself.
