This is what they'll show on BBC on Rednose day for the entire world to see.

I think we Ghanaians should bombard twitter and complain to BBC on that day. We can start writing complaints to the BBC from now. Let's don't leave it till too late.

Or if we can, we should sign e-petition for the issue to be raised in UK parliament.

Ghana has been in existence long before this boys were born yesterday.

I am sorry to say this but what what is wrong with these so called Ghanaian celebrities? What were they expecting from the group - One direction to say? Tell the world they came to Ghana and mingled with Ghanaian movie actors, went to nice hotels etc etc? They were in Ghana for a purpose, for a charity program and reporting what they saw, the truth, so what's the problem with that? I know the truth hurts but the guys are telling the truth. The guys are telling the world what they saw and to encourage more people to help the poor children in Ghana who the government have neglected for far too long.

WELL WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY. DID THE BOYS VISIT SODOM AND GORMORRA IN ACCRA? IF THAT IS NOT A slum i don't know what is.

Ghanaians should wake up from their foolish delusion that their country is the best after slide bread. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Leave One Direction alone and face the reality that your Accra is not close to a world class that those boys are used to visiting.

AMA K, WHOEVER WANTS TO SLAM THOSE GUYS SHOULD TRAVEL. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY VISIT UK ON RED NOSE DAY TO WATCH THE EVENT. Its not only Africa they show but UK because the money is not sent only to Africa. And let's not forget, there is no need telling others Ghana is rich and developed because I come from there and the difference between us and the developed world is wide. So far as I know, a pregant woman don't travel over 40miles to have access to hospital for complicated labour or childbirth. If you doubt this reader, then go to Amansie West in the Ashanti region where I have lived before.

And more over these guys are in town to solicit money for their charity work and the more negative and poverty they showed to those in the West the more money they can get. Simple as that.

Pictures of East Lagon, Airport, Dzorwulu etc wouldnt help their cause as much as Nima, Sodom and Gomorrah, Chorkor and co etc.

That is how these charities operates.

Anyway, although you may not like it, Ghana is highly underdeveloped. I live in Canada, in a very upscale neighbourhood btw. We have ghettos in some parts but nothing like the disease-stricken Chorkor, Nima, Teshie etc in Accra (which is the capital).

Let's stop living in a dream world. We should admit that majority of our people live below the poverty line.

Where were the video actors who call themselves celebrities in Ghana when Afari Gyan and his EC stole the elections for Mahama? If they think they have voice and can speak for Ghana they should challenge or question Ghanaian political leaders for not providing good health care, education and jobs for Ghanaians. My message to Ama K, Lydia Forson and others that if they won't learn how to participate in Charity work, they should at least learn how to appreciate what One direction is doing.

Yes some of us are doing very well in Gnana no doubt but to deny the existence of the poor and needy of our society because it is 'embarassing' to some of us is moronic. If you are really so rich, help your own to clean up the filth in your city instead of acting oblivious n keeping your nose in the air. with your millions help eradicate poverty internally: then u will no longer be 'embarassed'.

What is wrong with these so-called celebrities? Its not like poverty doesn't exist. They should give us a break. Ignorant dim-wits. On red nose day, they show not only Africa or Asia, but they also show what is in UK because some of the money is used to help the poor and the suffering. I donate not because of those pics but because poverty exists whether Ghana or wherever. They should be donating money instead of glorifying themselves with material things for others to worship them. They are celebrity becos the poor makes them.No rich person is interested in their lifestyle of 'celebrity'. SHAME ON THEM.

One Direction presented their experience in the country. Of course the country Ghana is steadily progressing but it will take us years to be at par with these countries Ghana turns to for healp. We sould not forget the mission statement of this group One Direction, which obviously is not different from any other Charitable Organization. If their mission was to raise funds to help the poor, then they are on the right path. Presenting the positive side will not help the group in any way, especially when they are appealing for funds to help these "poor" children. I can talk about the sight of street hawkers in Ghana, which is an eyesore, and getting them out has become a national issue. Ghanaians do not understand the process of progress. It does not happen in a day. It is a process, which surely has to take place. Getting rid of hawkers and keeping the city clean are a step in the beautification process. Don't be surprise if BBC or CNN put this negative scene on their news. Well said!!

Flo if you have travelled to certain developed economies before, you'll hold your fire against these boys. What were you expecting to read from them, when the children they met have not even tasted fresh milk before or do not know where the next meal was coming from.? I want you to visit chorkor or sodum and Gomorrah and write an honest report about what you'll see there!

When was the last time you visited the orphanage home in your region? Poor arrogant sod, there is poverty in Ghana and if you are grinning and call it happy then fair on you but the many I know are not happy. How many children are on the streets begging or hawking, shinning shoes to get money to pay their school fees? You live on another fucking planet if you don't know. Those miserable ill people who cannot afford strong painkillers or medications are not happy and that is a fact not a saying because I come from Ghana.

It's embarrassing, but if we had nothing to be embarrassed about then we would have nothing to be embarrassed about....maybe Ghana needs it's own Comic Relief to give Ghanaian entertainers something to do rather than moan about others doing charity work.

Accra has never been under bombardment but look at Accra as a city we still suffer powercuts,water cuts, sanitation is a massive problem, Give me president of Ghana for 1 term and I will turn Accra into a blueprint for the whole nation with a radical approch to infracstructure, and the housing issues and how the lands are managed and sold with proper palning.

We as a people do not believe in ourselves. We read negativity into everything. We dont believe in each other ; we do not trust each other. Any positive idea is rubbished. So in development terms we are always behind. It takes us too long to make leadership decisions and implement them. We are selfish and we see every issue in tribal, racial, ethnic, regional terms. Our leaders do not believe in continuity. They believe in taking two steps back and one step forward if it means the country suffers and we enrich ourselves.

Until we change our mentality like other countries have done, we will remain a poor country and the foreiners will continue to steal our gold and other resources.

There would be no need for Ghana to be a recipient of charity from red nose day if our successive leaders were to manage our numerous resources to achieve equitable distribution of benefits.

This way we will not be in a position to go cup in hand begging for charity and loans with its accompanying insults that Ghana will experience internationally. We should love our country and its people more and do the best for them. If anything talk to our leaders. One direction is just a tool to help those who want to under the guise of charity, rub our noses in embarrassment.
