I Swear I Saw This In Accra - Ghana man (5)

A perfectly functioning traffic light at a busy intersection near Korle Gonno. And yet, standing there directing traffic was this smartly dressed Policewoman. So I asked the taxi driver: say, what? He replied that the Police presence was necessary because the drivers do not always obey the traffic lights, anyway, and tend to choke the intersection from time to time.

Can you believe this? How in the hell do you govern a country with these kinds of pervading attitudes? And where in the hell is the Civic Education infrastructure that the good Prof Kofi Busia and the Socialist showboy Kofi Nwia put in place in the past?
