This cannot be true. Have you been to Deli and Mumbai
It s harmattan season . Why are we pretending this has never happened before . And for pollution go to India China USA

Trotro transport system must be faced out and replaced by city line busea that can also
be converted to electric or any form of renewable energy.
Just the perfect excuse for the government to start charging everybody for breathing oxygen. How about our polluted water bodies? Give us a break!
Let's stop leaving in denial Nd find solution to this. Let's consult Chinese technology make rainand bring the early rain clouds to move from Prampram to Abugri Mountain. This will likely spread as far as Kasoa and winniba
