Most toxic place thanks to NPP's poor policies and its politics of poverty and visionless grandstanding.I'm glad these toxic losers aren't in power

This is a very serious matter. Don't politicise it because we all breath it. All our governments should feel guilty. Our two former presidents travel all over the world giving speeches and look at what is on our dor step. They should both be ashamed.

Europe & America continue to use Ghana as a dumping ground for toxic electronic wastes. Where are the laws to stop this menace? Are the lives of Africa less valuable?

Don't worry. Agbogbloshie citizens are "acidophilous". They are like cocroaches in a microwave oven. They will never get "cooked" no matter how long they stay in.

THE GA MANTSE SITS ON HIS BACKSIDE, POWERLESS AND DEVOID OF IDEAS EXCEPT TO ALLOW FOR THE MISUSE , SALE AND OFFICIAL GRABBING OF THEIR LANDS. IT IS NO WONDER GHANAIANS IN GENERAL HAVE NO RESPECT FOR HIM - EVEN THE GAs DO NOT CARE A HOOT ABOUT HIM.

THE KORLE LAGOON IS THE HEART & SOUL OF THE GAs. IN THE EARLY 70s, KOWUS MOTORS BOUGHT A PARCEL OF LAND ON THE LAGOON BED!!! (NEAR AGBOGBLOSHIE). TODAY, THE ACTUAL ROUTE OF THE LAGOON HAS BEEN DIVERTED WITH NO REGARDS TO THE GAs.
NOW, VILLAGERS FROM ALL CORNERS OF GHANA HAVE TAKEN OVER THE LANDS AROUND THE LAGOON - NEAR AGBOGBLOSHIE TO THE CIRCLE ( SODOM & GOMORRAH)- by the way, I am NOT Ga.

THE AMA IS USELESS - POWERLESS AND BRIBE RIDDEN. LOOK AT ACCRA - FROM UTC THROUGH THE TRAIN STATION TOWARDS SODOM & GOMORRAH!!! WHAT HAVE THE AUTHORITIES DONE ABOUT CLEANING UP THE PLACE??

THESE STUPID GAs & THEIR CHIEFS SIT ON THEIR FAT BACKSIDES, SEE THE DESTRUCTION OF MAKOLA #1 & NOW, WHO HAS A RESTAURANT THERE??? AN ASHANTI WOMAN!!!!

LET A GA-MAN GO TO KUMASI AND SEE IF HE CAN GET A STALL IN ANY OF THEIR MARKETS!!!

It will have good to quote the source of this grading.Yes the place is dirty and breads bacteria and toxins, however let us not magnify and create panic ,without any research backing.Remember responsibility lies with those within the vicinity. Government through assembly has the greatest responsible to put taxes collected in good use.

Sadly this is basically false. While Agbogbloshie is a dump, most of the scrap there is from Accra, used for decades. 91% of imports are repaired and reused. Innocent African "geeks of color" are being jailed because of a fake statistic disavowed by the originator. This distracts from real issues. @WR3A #freehurricanebenson
