Do not allow any Ghanaian architects or bureaucrats anywhere near the planning and processes of this mall project. They have nothing to offer but backward, conniving and retrogressive ideas, which they force down foreigners throats through guilt trips. We don't need local vendors anywhere near the Mall, we don't need tro tros anywhere in the vicinity of the Mall nor taxis. The mall should provide its own special bus services, where you can have a direct bus route to and fro to the Mall. Also with well timed and specific schedules into midnight.
Damn, I wish I was the Project Manager for this development. For the first time in our life's, Ghana will have a legacy besides Akosombo Dam!

Leave these ignorant Ghanaians out of this project. All they know is Kente, Twi and Akwabaa. Look at what they have done to Tetteh Quarshie Roundabout and the entire area. Slowly being transformed into Kwame Nkrumah Circle. Tro tros, a multitude of two-legged ants roaming at random, human stench, noise and more noise. Play back of recorded travel schedules being blurted out in the most obnoxious language God ever cursed man with.

I have been sick to the stomach forever about our primitive nature. Look at the illegal encroaching of street and curb-side traders, who compete with industrious Mall Merchants across from Accra Mall, look at the tro tro and taxi ramps they automatically force themselves into the mold of civilized life. Every time I have project development discussions with some collegeues, somebody always has to come up with local community based approach, like we have to tolerate some cultural practices into the scope of the project. Like when you build a highway, make sure there is a foot path along side the highway, cos some local jerk is gonna want to walk the lenth of the highway home. Or say make sure you have a cattle crossing smack in the city cos some freaking Fulani is gonna want to rear cattle right behind Accra Girls Secondary School location. Are we Human?

Left to me alone this West Accra Mall should never accommodate any Tro Tro Riders or even Taxis, If you don't have a private vehicle you shouldn't be privileged to shop there. They have filthy Makola, why do we have to pretend that we are all equal? Many of us are animals, and will never change into civilized citizens. I hate Ghana but I need to help recolonize it, only this time by advanced species of Black Ghanaians with me as leader!

Kofi may God bless you for your wise comment.Thus, we need constructive things and development, but not unnecessary tribalism and confused politics.

Yes,this is what the nation needs.Job creation is what the government must give priority to.The private sector must be given all the help it needs to energize the economy and create jobs.

A husband, wife and their seven-year-old son walk into an ice-cream shop in the Weija Mall. The dad says "I'll have a chocolate cone, and my wife here will have a vanilla."

He then slaps his son on the back of the head and says: "What do you want, fat-head?"

The lady behind the counter, shocked, says, "Why did you call him that?"

"I'll tell you why," says the dad. "There's really only three things a man wants in life.
First, he wants a nice big truck. See that nice big truck parked outside? That's mine.
Second, he wants a nice big house. I have one of the biggest houses in town. Third, and most important, he wants a nice tight pussy and I had that too until fat-head here came along."
