Town planning in is not God's responsibility but that of man. Poor town planning is the cause of this Catastrophe. We as Ghanaian are to be educated that failure to plan results in planning to fail.

We now reaping the results of our failure to plan.

Please go back to the drawing board and start proper town planning to avoid future re-occurrence or else next time a whole town will be in shambles and “had we know” will be the thing of the past with lost of lives and resources.
What do you expect Mr. President.

Wednesday 03 June will forever ring in the minds of Ghanaians as one of the bad memories in the history of the country. The flood coupled with explosions from GOIL filling station that swallowed about 190 lives just within a few hours.
The story of floods and other natural disasters were far away folktales been told to children .But today here we find ourselves as victims of it.
The black WEDNESDAY , made Ghana's history a scary one to be told to generations to come.
Ghanaians, lets keep praying because we are unaware of what the next minute holds .
May the souls of the victims of black WEDNESDAY rest in perfect peace as they dwell in a place of comfort.
GOD HELP GHANA .

It’s a nice piece of “a long letter”
But I am wondering, how many people the means to read it.
Most of the victims to the disaster can’t probably afford an ordinary daily newspaper, least, access to the Network.

does the overuse of plastic wraps have something to do with this?

these days we carry
kooko in plastic
water in plastic
fufu and soup in plastic
fried yam in plastic
rice& stew in plastic
waakye in plastic
everything in plastic

And where do we throw the waste plastic wraps?

Leave little jehovah god out of this. he did not create plastic.

We need leadership with foresight. Not those who are sleepwaking while we drown.

mister president,mayor of Accra and the entire citizen should contribute a great factor to end up the occurance of disaster ,which result from flood cause by rain fall.most atimes we look up 4 de government to sort out this pety problem ,but we can also analyse criticaly and sensibly to do or sort this kind of problem.i again wnt to made it clear dat ,we plan proper layout of putting up astructure to aviod flood in this country,more over dumping refuse into chock gulter must be prohibited.God should give our leader mind nd wisdom,that sudden cases should not rise u again.filling station must laid away from where people are overcrowded.
