- Some parts of Adabraka in Accra got flooded after rains on Tuesday night.
Residents say that because of rains in parts of the city upstream, the Odaw drain's level started going up before they saw the rain fall in Adabraka.

The 2 things seen here are water and garbage until we learn to keep the society clean these won’t stop reoccurring
drew willis ghana of the most dirtiest country
One region one Dam nice swimming pool
If these people were told not to build there ,they would have insulted the government see the outcome
the dumbest comment ever ! what do you mean ?
they were not flooded because they have sinned aginst you and the government by building houses in adabraka ..they are flooded because of the african's stupid goverment and engineers failure to predict and proper canalization of city's rain water ...you get it ?
Hannah hands are not equal
Crying for them,if is easy for u some people are suffering from poor
NYGLOBALCOM NYGLOBALCOM you stupid only in ghana
The entire Accra, especially adabraka and asylum down cannot be water ways, is about poor settlement planning.
Many years ago during the Busia administration (I was a school boy then) attempts were made to deal with haphazard developments in Accra but typical of Ghana Busia was given all manner of degradatory names. The whole of Accra is one big flood plain. It is not safe for people to live in areas that are prone to flooding. It should be clear to everybody by now that when it rains in Accra, large area turn into swimming pools since there are not sorm water drainage systems in the city plus people have built to block off the natural drainage paths of rivers and runoff water. Until that lesson is learnt, things can/will get worse unfortunately.
You build houses near drainages block them and now ur complaining
What abt d one dat has not build on d water way and d water is disturbing dem. Laws must work by d government and not individuals
@@keyholderkey721 exactly, its not their fault rather the law
I know the GUY talking from 2.00
Smh ooo Ghana. No proper drainage. This can cause serious sickness!!
Me: Ghana is a developing country
Rain: Not true. Look at all the rubbish in your country. Ghana is far from developing country. It is 50 year behind.
ed amable haha 😂 a shit hole
You mean the Dubai of Africa
So much plastic, pretty sure the gutters are blocked...
Government must move persons and demolish structures from the banks of the Korle lagoon. Why has gov't allowed markets, all these scrab dealers etc on the banks of Korle lagoon, it is the reservoir and gate way for rain water to enter into sea.
Ohhh My ghana ooooooo
I am not Ghanaian but the street are very dirty full of littering. The Government should be ashamed
Very sad 😭😭 my lovely country
Lord have mercy on Ghanaians leaders
CNR your the best
If city authorities don't have any plans of developing the city ,perennial floods will expose their incompetence
When the colonial government made the gutters big, and we have made them smaller that will bring disaster. Some years ago I lived around Katamanto Kokompe near the Tarzan road, there's the Hotel deHorses. There was a big drain that captures all the water from Adabraka that empties into the Korle Lagoon near Galloway. When the Tarzan road was being constructed that drain was made smaller, the Korle Lagoon near Galloway has been made smaller. It was filled with laterite. I remember when we were young, we go fishing in that part of the lagoon near Galloway that has been filled. This is all the problem. Nature is just fighting back. It will fight back until we go back and correct our mistakes, oh forgive me, our stupidity.
Capital city of Ghana,shame
This is always embarrassing to Ghana Capital city paaa
Its that the most cleaned city they're talking about... is a shame
Hahahaha
Danny P. Haha 😂 that’s it, the rest is shit hole
Glenrose Production in their dreams
It s our Dubai oo
Wow crazy
Accra needs replanning because houses are build along water paths.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
We are tired of flooding in Accra. The Planning Authorities should try their best to demolish some of the unauthorized structures on the water ways to avert the situation.
Hi
When they will have a proper drainage system
The hole capital is crowded building's here people there too many cars containers everywhere kiosk everywhere what do we expect 😢😢😢😢😢
Its high time laws and measures are put in place and enforced. We say there is no job. Employ people to enforce the upkeep of our neighborhoods. Lots of jobs for sanitation. Ghana lets wake up and care about our own
Every year its the same thing when will they learn dont block the drains with bolla
Ghana is not only Accra go to your home town
Aqua Safari to our doorstep
Flood waters, trash and garbage likely flowed from other areas also. Litter should be put in containers throughout all locations.
I hope the best for improvements by all.
Vote wisely, vote 4 the one who care 4 u, not the one who will come and feed only his family and friends
😭😭😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hey it's serious o sorry guys it's always whenever there is small rain in Accra
When we tell you to keep your environment cleaned pitching house any where
Everyday Accra
We are responsible, see (boola)!!!
So can't AMA engineers design the area properly for habitation? government must give me that contract to properly design the area engineerly when I come to Ghana. Professor Dr Sir Engineer Nana Frimpong Manso.
Boss our people will cry they are sacking them from their land because most buìlding should be pull-down
Kwame Nkrumah's legacy. Lets enjoy it
4 more 2 suffer more ,Akufo Addo still enjoying with his family mo na mo br3 😅
Until the citizens change their behavior of dumping refuse around and Gov’t designs a rubbish dump program for plastic waste and biodegradable waste like Rwanda is doing we will always suffer this crisis
Everyone is moving to Accra
I pity all those who were affected by the rains. I urge the authorities to institute stern measures to deter people who flout the sanitation laws. The real cause of major flooding in the city of Accra, especially at Adabraka, Alajo, and Asalum Down, is the flow of rain current from the Akuapem mountains. The authorities must find a of diverting the rain drains to some other areas instead of allowing all to flow through Accra. How could people's residences get flooded when it has not even started to rain in Accra? The government must task our public planners and engineers find the solution to this perennial problem.
Ever you heard of "Climate Change" and a common condition called "clouds"? Clouds rain on land. Dah
Flooding in Accra started decades ago, long before the "Climate Change Wahala" began. People put up structures on waterways and nothing is done to stop them. The authorities only start pointing fingers when the damage is done.
Why don't go to church and pray?
Nkwaseafo
Gordon Anderson pray for what
For real.
I will make Accra the cleanest city in Africa. Nana Addo where are you now.
Please I need McDonald's beef burgers and chilli fried chicken with rice; can I have a boat to paddle to that place
Kwasia
4 more for Nana. Every government should do something. previous government didn't. Nana promised to make Ghana clean. Let's ask him what laws did he put in place to make Ghana clean.
People of Adabraka, until you are sorted out, don't vote!...it is ashaming. You cannot queue to vote and later experience this ordeal.
We will cast assertions when the problem comes, one week later it's back to business as usual. We will continue to suffer until the leaders get sense and that sense transcends down to the people. If the head is rotten....
Because of global warming they have to listen to the authority to change locations and make sure the lagoon is clear of garbage
Banana republic
Pretty much sure this also is going to be blamed on our government. We should take responsibility and not throw rubbish anyhow. Prevention is better than cure.
Unbelievable how the Man allow this to happen!
Put tubolation on the ground Ghana Man !!
The government needs to spend money here and everywhere there are problems like this. This is note a joke🧐 wake up!.
I agree with you on that, but let me ask…and I want your honest answer, Chaos. Do you agree that money does not grow on trees and that citizens have to pay taxes for government to fund projects such as this? I hope you are not one of the people who are vehemently against E-levy. Yes, there are problems and it’s not a joke but being awake is just the beginning of the solution.
Yea there political foolishes said Togo is poor but you don’t see those slams in togoland after raining.
Beware those kings of WT and choose your side wisely before it’s too late for you.
Ghana armed forces have helicopters, and in situation like this can't they use the helicopters to rescue people
Alex Ntiri they have to make sure they knew how to navigate those helicopters in the air or lost them. Just like the one in Togo who can’t extinguish small fire but professional in beating up population, arrest unlawfully and kill them. I don’t know how these ppls so useless. Especially those from northern (sorry not all of them).
Human being living in those places with there waisted. Look at the slam water pull out ? Anyway Ghanaians love dirtiness, most of them. Thanks God. when I was living there, I never experienced any flood. It’s a recurrent problem for that country and since then there useless corrupted leaders never used there f**** brain to fixe it. Look at there construction, street etc . Am pretty sure Whiteman told them : build your living place nicely and live the poor in the muddy.
Foolishes useless jerks ppl. There president Nana Akuffo Addo Dankwua speaks Britishly English but his brain with his law degree, work experience abroad can’t allow him to see the light. Same like former president.
By seeing topographic of that country Nd there ppl, they need very highly visionary to built the country.
I know the GUY talking from 2:00
They keep building houses where they are not to
same fucking issue every year in Accra, bad and stupid leadership with people that are helpless
clean your society ghana this is to nasty
4:23 You went to a flood scene dressed like this. 🤬
exactly..and he feels smart
problems, solution once you notice solve it. all ghanian dont have to leave in accra .build better in the intirour correct
This is just the beginning of our foolishness
I don't have any sympathy for them. They're are told every year to vacate the place, but they turn it political and accuse whoever is trying to enforce their eviction. They litter the place without thinking twice about tomorrow . May those who perished rest in peace.
Is this the first time??Nope happens every fucken year nobody doing shit about it
So Ghana has money for free but cannot do infrastructure
Poor/lack of community planning and societal indiscipline is the result of all these
Is not false to speak English Ghanaians
Do anyone thinks this SHITUATION will easily be be gone anytime soon?
I blame the government for allowing them to build structures that block the drainage. I also blame the very people who live there because they are the ones who are littering. If you take care of your place of business and stay, others will not be able to come there and litter. I do not smoke in my home, can some one come there and decide to smoke without confrontation. We ars our own biggest problem. We take little things for granted not understanding those little things have capacity to produce big regressive outcomes.
Is a lie is not the rain do the
See how have are destroying the country, ha Ghanaian, stop insuits in social media, stop learning bad characters from others, be greatfull with what you have, respect God and the God's, and teach the people how to stop problems like this, there are alot to works to do, in the country seriously, and is not only government who build the country but with the people , put that in ur heads laws have to be taken serious, ty, so don't sit and wait on government only but work on your self too ty
This is sad situation bad and dumb corrupt leaderships , chaiiii
don't blame any leader but blame your dirty lifestyle so dirty lifestyle
Foolish people,
