Why driving in the rain,It will destroy the car engine. The rain is too heavy also why voting for them if the politicians can not do nothing about Takoradi
100% Ghana is very dirty and the people do not take pride in their surroundings and homes for the most part. I don’t understand why this is the case???
Tell the citizens to stop throwing garbage into the gutters and take the oman edwuma seriously which cleaning the gutters is one of them. Most individuals want to be spoonfed. Rise up, take responsibility and stop blaming the government for things you can take care of.
estherninaquasie3774 Floods happen everywhere. especially places with heavy rain. Not everything is someone's fault. No one has come up with a complete solution for floods anywhere.
This is just an issue of choked gutters. What is the assembly/city council doing? The citizens should also dispose refuse correctly. You can’t dump refuse in gutters and not expect flood when it rains.
No it's not. Gutters aren't going to prevent flooding. Ghanians need to learn more about how the world works instead of immediately looking for something to blame. Floods are a fact of life not how clean your gutters are. Things can be done but they involve how your cities are built, having places for excess water to go to, having levees to stop the water in the first places etc. But all these things cost money that you need to fund your government for. But ghanaians don't want to support or fund their government they think it's supposed to have magic money
@@blackblaze5271 It is an established fact that choked gutters are one of the major causes of floods. While gutters alone may not prevent floods regardless of its size, a choked one makes it worse regardless of the amount of rainfall.
@@donnbiggie Fact from where? So how do you explain severe floods happening in other cities and countries? Is that also choked gutters? If your land is in an area that's prone to flooding it will flood, your gutter is not a concern. We know flooding used to happen in the past even before gutters existed because there was no where for the excess water to go. Unless you build infrastructure to address flooding and redirect the water, flooding will always happen and it will be as bad as how much it rains. Water doesn't immediately enter the ground and with all the people who want every place paved and covered cement and gravel it take even longer for the ground to soak up the rain.
Why do people blame our leaders on every bad thing that happens instead of taking responsibility. We love to do things our own way instead of the approved structure. People even threaten change of government when it wants the best for the people.
Leadership is NOT only with Government, but with Government appointees like MCE, DCE, Ministers, and other city employees responsible for cleaning gutters, building waterways, and making sure Garbage bins are placed on city streets to prevent garbage and bottles to clog waterways. All these leaders get paid well to assume these responsibilities so why do you expect ordinary hungry citizen to do these jobs?
@franciskaboagye If someone is lazy, then the one will be hungry for the rest of his life. People should be active and do themselves favor. I saw university student selling water in his school uniform. If people of Ghana don't change their mind and stop collapsing individuals business and wait for the government, they will go hungry all the time. In western world, it's individuals who opens jobs not the president.
I always say that if the father is irresponsible in the home , children and wife become indiscipline ! Look, there are notorious people in the USA more than in Ghana but the system and structures check them to minimize bad behaviors! So in Ghana the structure and system is messed by the leaders so even if people misbehave they don’t check them! In conclusion, everything will be blamed on the leaders
dottie Gutters have nothing to do with it. There are even areas called 'flood plans' that will flood because of how low the land is. Whether you have clogged gutters or not that's not going to change that fact that some places will flood during rain. That's why flooding happens everywhere even places with no plugged gutters. City planning and government funds are the main things that can solve problems like this
Every time i see vidéo from Takroadi, i remember my bro Agbe vincent this togolese who dies in 2012 for what i don't no at Takroadi hospital. He is on of the first togolese make baby foot in several district in Takroadi. Rip my brother. God bless every one.
Because you have open gutter, this will always happen. When the drainage is closed, 1. People will throw stuff in them. 2. Water pressure will increase in the gutters when it rains and the pressure will push the solid waist away. 3. The city will look nicer than it is today 4. Driving will be much convenient. 5. Mosquitoes 🦟 will reduce. 6. It enhance sanitation
Thank you so much for sharing to see motherland, I hope they will do something about it, we see what happened in Libya I hope to learn from that, and do something right now, you are doing a good job. Take care.👍👋
We ourselves do things haphazardly and threaten governments when we are asked to obey rules. Why should a sane person throw rubbish into a gutter and expect his fellow man or woman to later on come and remove that same rubbish with his hands? We ourselves are irresponsible. Everybody is selling We produce nothing
Please Rain storms are over the world what is happening in the western Region as compared to what is going on in LIBYA 🇱🇾. The Rain storm in TAKORADI is a storm luckily no life is lost and our problem is that our roads in the cities are badly designed as well as sewage systems across GHANA 🇬🇭 is very bad as in GHANA we don't have CIVIL ENGINEERS in GHANA 🇬🇭 we have them they drive to work every day but yet still they don't care about it no public accountability nobody is checking on anybody and no one is asking questions about what is going on in GHANA 🇬🇭. We need to ask questions about who is in charge and those who are in charge are well paid but nothing is done. BABA ADOM ASK QUESTIONS ON BEHALF OF THE VOICELESS. THANK YOU
Africa is such a rich country this should not be. It should be modern with all the resources that that have make the other countries pay a fair price and then you can up grade the country standards. Love Africa
Who threw garbage in the gutters? It's the traders along the street and the general population with no regard for sanitation. They are the ones responsible for the gutters not being able to drain ,not the government
Those saying that flooding issues are happening in Western countries . Sorry this is not heavy rain .This a normal rainfall . With flash flooding you will not be able to see one foot in front of you the rain will be coming down so heavy .This flood is caused by inadequate drainage .The traders need to organize themselves and clear the gutters!
Choked drains happen in America, but the difference is the drains get cleaned so that the very next time it rains, it doesnt cover the streets. Now if the cause is river water rising or dams failing that requires a different solution not an easy one like UNCHOKING the gutters.
Unfortunately for Takoradi in Ghana it will always flood in extreme weathers because its elevation is well below sea level of 20 metres. The kind of infrastructure to redirect any water and store it in facilities will cost billions.Donating is a waste of time unless the whole town is dug up and drainage systems is built but for now building on higher foundations and concrete platforms is an option.With global sea rising this city will not survive.
Finally, someone that knows what they're talking about and doesn't assign blind blame. 😄 It's nice to see people who come at problems from an informed angle so we can have solutions that can actually help the issue
Probably they will blame the government for the rain falls too, we acts like mad people sweeping their garbage into the gutters, what and where do they expect the rain waters to flow to, let's do the simple things right, and stop this blame games, people always ask silly questions. That opani is yourself so do the right things,, tell others to do that same thing, keep our gutters and streets clean, to avoid such things from happening over and over again.
God bless you bro people of our days don't want the truth to be told ,the guy was asking where are the leaders. Is the leaders who blocked the gutters with refuse.? We need change and behave as human beings.
Years ago..it wasn't like that..youth of today..do something for yourself..if government is not helping..Don't..throw trash anywhere..do communion labour's to help your self..the politicans don't live there..wise up..
Baba Adam and what are the citizens are doing about this. During our days in Ghana there were flood but not this much. We even bath in the rain. The dirt is just too much.
The first and foremost thing to do is to see to it that all gutters are clean. It's not everything that we expect the government to do it. It's hardly to see Eastern Region flooded because we clean our gutters in front and behind our houses . Cleanliness is the way to Godliness. Those at the market places should be advised not to put rubbish in the gutters when they close from work. There must be a positive change from all
The same gutter talk. Gutters have nothing to do with flooding. Are all the places around that world that flood having issues with full gutters? It have more to do with geography and nature. If your government has money they might be able to deal with it
All the natural drainage channels have blocked with buildings and other structures - there's are no storm warmer drainage system - refuse is everywhere - the roads become the drains when it rains.
Baaba, I hope you're doing well, and thanks for all these updates. Our main problem is that we need a leader in Tadi. Apart from the Western regional minister, who else does the politicians consult for development, none. A president will go to ahenfie for blessings, and the chief or the leader in return will ask for development. Tadi lacks that and is one of these reasons why we are struggling as a city. What shows we are an oil city. Takoradi stopped developing a long time ago, and the so-called leaders don't care. We need a new direction now
Hmmm,climate change is come! With our habit of building anywhere and everywhere;throwing rubbish into our gutters and not desilting the gutters,HEAVEN HELP US!
Citizens need to change their attitude, anytime it's raining, people start throwing their rubbish and so what are you expecting. When gutters are blocked, off course there will be flooding.
We all needs be responsible to take care of our environments. OK putting rubbish in the gutters is not the responsibility of the government. People needs more education on the environment. The gutters must be covered to stop people putting rubbish into them. Mmmmm.
What did the minister of environment who was caught with $1m stashed in his bedroom, exactly did to alleviate such drainage problems in the country?! That’s the question the public should be asking the so called Minister for Environment old/new!! Instead of using public funds available to eradicate such drainage issues, politicians rather steal the money to enriching themselves whilst the country infrastructure rot devoid of any continuous maintenance! Instead of employing well trained & competent Ministers for required positions they’d rather employ inept incompetent novices, devoid of any knowledge or expertise to carry out roles appointed to!
The problem is the people must stop depending and waiting on the socalled government.and the people must learn that they are the true government, and they the people must put together and build,we are the one's using these establishment,so if we all put in together and work together we can generate more than enough money to fixed these problems.. because the socalled government they are too busy spending the people's money.and we must stop voting for leaders,we are our leader.what we need to do is vote for a representative, someone to represent us in outside matters and if and when those representing us not doing their job then they must be held to pay and get fired.we the people living in these communities have to learn to pull together with our resources and build better streets,drains etc.
@@saundraking7168 Where is it going to carry the water to? 😄 There's no flood infrastructure. How come places with no choked gutters still get floods like america? With the size of the gutters in ghana it would overflow and flood in no time. It's not a major factor. If you're going to flood you're going to flood. You need a system that drains the water into some flood areas
Masa masa is not only in Ghana wai,even Europ here okay, and Ghanians need to len how day will stop how throwing rubbish in to the garter's,dats all 🥴🧐
Our problems in Ghana is some of this blogger's, so now is it the government fault , abaaaaaa Ghana fuo kasa du du,aden, rain falls in every part of the world, there's season for rainfall, that's how god has made it, why should we blame politicians for the rain, how can they be responsible for this, tell them to keep the gutters and their surroundings clean, so that what the rain falls heavy it will have its way, do your research well the whole world has these problems every year, and no-one complain about it, because they know it like this since the creation of the world, but because of our ignorance we have turn everything into politics, while the main problem is us, our only solutions for this is to keep our surroundings and gutters clean, so that when the rain falls it will flows freely, no one can this , unless we keep our surroundings clean
