It is sad that Accra's overpopulation, felling of trees, too many building developments with not many green spaces and in addition to climate change is creating flooding after each heavy rains. Growing up in Accra during the 60s it normally rained continuously for 5 days and weeks during June, July, August, but no flooding. The problem was washed clothes not drying and cold weather. Hopefully, with Kumasi now being the 2nd fastest growing city in GH there will be opportunities for population relocation to free up Accra a bit. Flooding is now a global issue. This week, there were flooding in Milan, Italy and Brazil.
You forgot to mention Dubai and Riyadh, both supposedly desert locations in the Middle East! The floods in both cities is unprecedented . As for Accra being freed up by Kumasi, una go wait tayaaah! We in Nigeria built a brand new capital of Abuja to free up Lagos ! 40 years later, Abuja is a fully functioning federal capital, but Lagos is still twice the population of before!🤣🤣🤣🤣 Accra is always going to be Ghana's first choice destination for both locals and tourists alike!! We have maaad floods in Lagos too!! It's not easy!! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
About 99% of it. I always say Prez Akuffo Addo or Mahama do not get up in the morning and come and dump refuse in drain or wait when it is raining to do so. We are a very uncivilised people when it comes to this. We will turn around and blame successive governments.
We live in a country that when it rains, the roads become gutters and we still build foolish small open gutters when constructing roads. Are we so foolish? How greedy can we become to the extent of not thinking about building the nation how it's supposed to be built
When people are asked to obey building rules so we leave space for water to flow into the Sea nobody cares. We build on roadways, we have blocked the path of waterfowl with containers, we are filling marshy areas for buildings, WE are the cause of our own problems
@rosemensahakollor2609 please have you heard of global warming? You Ghanaians should stop the littering and building shacks anywhere. Your gutters are choked !
@rosemensahakollor2609 How can I compare Ghana to America? Have you ever heard of global warming? Ghana is 67 years old, and American is 400yrs old. Ghana is one country, while America is over 50 states to make one country called UNITED STATES. You don't know what you're talking about. Tell your Ghanaians to stop loitering and choking the gutters, ok?
Ghana is a coastal state this is bound to happen. My only problem is our knee-jerk attitude towards this problem. Instead of building big drains , clearing choked gutters and not filtering haphazardly . Putting emergency departments on standby 😢. Ghana when will we rise up
Even if this disaster is happening in other countries, the government and the president is thinking or planning what can be done, for the people especially, the children.
ARE THERE ANY CIVIL ENGINEERS IN GHANA? THIS IS LOOKING VERY WEAK FOR A CIVILIZED SOCIETY?? IS GHANA BRAIN DEAD IN THIS DEPARTMENT? DO OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE TO INTERVENE.
The country has neglected the functions of local government The bases of all these problems. They should practically engage the local government and most of these problems will be gone. Not only engagement but give the jobs to the right qualified people, and not as a thank you package to politicians without the skills.
Yes but at least there is a system behind it working! Ghanaians need to stop going to churches and rather start protesting against these corrupt politicians robbing the country! @@prohdusah
This is so sad. Too traumatic. Continue to vote these irresponsible leaders who don’t care about anyone but themselves and their family. The youths need to woke up!Let’s vote for change . The New force 2024 God willing. Change will come by the New Force. We are tired. We are pitiful. Dubai has money they can recover and keep their population safe . What about us? Every year this has been our fate.
Why do you always want to blame the people for throwing garbage into the drainage system. When there is no drainage. You need to put the blame on the idiots that run the country. They are paid to run the country.
Well this situation won't change if Ghanaians don't start to think outside the box. Iet's stop investing in very expensive V8 and fix our drainage system woke up Ghana.
Even if drains are built so deep to accommodate storey buildings citizens will fill the drains with black polythene bags and rubbish We need to change our attitude to waste disposal.
Why complain now when you know exactly what to expect this time of year? Same situation year after year after year for decades, yet no answer just talk and more promises and you still support them,
After this. Go and take that Bowl of Rice 🍚 noddles. And then go to the polling station. And vote for the same people who have brought you here. If the government doesn’t want to do it. Who do you people want to fix the problem. My mother. Well she is at Lagos Town. You can call her to come and fix the problem
Actions speak louder than words but Ghana is unfortunately filled up with only fanciful and cheap talkers. Where is the money obtained from gold and oil mining in Ghana,or is the money obtained from the gold and oil not enough for the development of Ghana ?
Please let's stop our bad behaviour towards our surroundings if not we will always experience this flooding. Please stop the ungodly attitudes towards the environment period.
I believe yanom can digitize the flood as well, lol 😆 😂 There hasn't been anything positive since the overthrown of Nkrumah n yet yanom keep boasting of their nonsense.
@@sos9020 listen you cn never compare Ghana to cote d’ivore. Cote d’ivore is far better than Ghana even God no that one a country without light no be village 🤣🤣🤣
If this was Kumasi you'd have insulted Otumfour as if he's the city planner and land engineer or KMA, so now is this also Ga Mantse's fault? God will punish you all, you haven't seen anything yet, mo ni twaaseni
you cant plan enough for heavy rains tho. it's constantly flooding in america as well. i always think we should have pipelines running water to the deserts areas when they need to drain but they'd rather build pipelines for oil

They need to plant many trees, as well as not throwing rubbish in the gutters, this is a problem of the citizens.
Yes oooo
We still don’t learn from our lessons, Government and citizens are to be blamed for our irresponsibility….

Ok excuse for every failure
It's the fault of the citizens. If we discard waste into gutters, what do we expect afterwards.

In my hometown we never experience flooding because there are well structured lanes in between houses and we don't throw rubbish about to clog drains
Where is your hometown?

I never knew this Rains fall that much waooo
There are towns in American that also flood when it storms. Texas has flooded, right now!
Please don't compare Ghana to America. In America when it floods, there are systems in place to help the people. Can you say the same for Ghana?

Same happened in Houston Texas last night. Light were off and deep inch flood at some places.
exactly im from new orleans shit happens. people cry about the pumps all the time.
Nature is at work, it's happening all over the world, even come & u.s. here too!!
Even if this disaster is happening in other countries, the government and the president is thinking or planning what can be done, for the people especially, the children.
Definitely a result of throwing trash that choke the gutter and inadequate space for sewer systems
Oh my Lord stay safe Ghana Good Nation this is earth disaster 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤so Sad situation
ARE THERE ANY CIVIL ENGINEERS IN GHANA?
THIS IS LOOKING VERY WEAK FOR A CIVILIZED SOCIETY?? IS GHANA BRAIN DEAD IN THIS DEPARTMENT? DO OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE TO INTERVENE.
All these waterlogged areas, experiencing a deluge of water, were earmarked for rice projects by the Bussia government.
The country has neglected the functions of local government

Good point , how do u get to korlebu with this in an emergency
It's sad, but no one should criticise akufo addo, because if you do, he may indirectly pick up some good ideas which he doesn't deserve.
This is scary to see , cause the drainage system is not working properly
One city one dam
Unprecedented rainfalls will lead to massive flooding. See Brazil, Kenya and Texas ,USA.
I knew this is Accra … the people must stop throwing garbage’s in gutters .. chocked

Thank you big guy
Where are all these people going or coming from? 😮
Some are from work others to from their various houses
Year in and year out we keep on experiencing floods but not ready to find solutions to it.
The rain supposed to enter Parliament House for me
Flood is global
This has happened to Kenya, Dubai Brazil and china, now Ghana. please check cloud seeding techology
How did we get here?
proud Bono Ahafo boy❤❤❤
Oh wow...
It happens every country 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇩🇪
No it doesn't. At least in foreign countries they have a proper drainage system and proper roads
The city was built without engineering support to create proper drainage.
Ghanaians are now talking too much everything is NDC and NPP aaba
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Note, it’s raining in the rest of 15 regions of Ghana yet no reported floods. Why always the dirty big shantytown. Move the capital asap
Isn't this one of the videos of previous flooding in the former years❓🤔 if not then plans to travel to Accra should be put on hold by all for now.
Aaah
Wow, Akufo Addo and NPP promised Ghanaians about 7 years ago they'll make Accra the cleanest city in Africa ?😢
Please send the video to mahatma,Akuffo Addo and bawima
We need a leadership and is not about npp and ndc
Why is it only in Accra that gets flooded every rainfall?
It is congested
Hmmmm
How many times should we tell people not to force their way through flood waters until it recedes?😮
Ei Nana Addo
Go to Brazil Afghanistan now to witness what's happening there; should Ghana be an exception
YES! Ghana should be BLACK EXCELLENCE.
Another Nairobi in West Africa?
We are too many in Ga-Mashie😅
Ghana people anything don't use it as politics Dubai Safe get flooded so is god

The Ga chief should do something about this, it was worse under odwanfunu mahama 😅😂
@@adupoku6779 yeah, Ga Mantse would not be spared for this because if this was Kumasi you'd insult Otumfour
Is time people have to learn. Stop throwing rubbish in rivers
Please let's stop our bad behaviour towards our surroundings if not we will always experience this flooding. Please stop the ungodly attitudes towards the environment period.
You have seen nothing yet. Disrespect our rivers.
If we don't stop the npp / ndc nonsense, we will see worse , this is just the beginning
Even advanced countries have the same problem
How many times in Dubai ?
