Why Accra trendt

A flooded property in Accra after the heavy downpour on Sunday on Sunday

Accra, Ghana's capital and the most important economic and political center of the country, are in parts of the country for the wrong reasons for the false reasons after hours of rainfall on Saturday, May 17th, and on Sunday, May 18, 2025.

Especially the Sunday rain casting, which lasted almost four hours, led to the immersion of several areas in the capital, which led to considerable damage to real estate and had flooded many houses.

Remarkable among the damage are video photography, the severe floods in countries around the Eastern Legon hill, Pantang, adeneta and surrounding areas show locations that are often seen as first-class residential areas with high-priced real estate and the residents are sold by their houses.

Some Internet users have expressed outrage and attributed the constant floods to the poor urban planning and the construction of buildings on waterways by real estate developers.

They argue that the Desist roofing cannot provide a permanent solution for the flood problem and ask the government to take drastic measures, including the prevention of buildings in waterways and drainage channels.

On the other hand, some Internet users have shared the view that the flooding of houses in main areas, including goods such as East Legon Hills and Pantang, has an indication that the high prices calculated by real estate agents – in particular those specified in foreign currencies are not justified.

In the meantime, others have also complained how the problem of several years of flooding is repeated at every precipitation, but little or no measures seem to have been taken, which expresses skepticism that the situation is likely to be repeated in the coming years.

We need a permanent/permanent solution for the apparently multi -year flood of ACCRA.

Not a lot of gutter cleaning keeps Accra from being flooded. The whole city is poorly planned.

Almost every channel sits in front of a house or a shop in Accra, but they are constantly suffocated with dirt, and the residents look in the other direction. This negligence is a main cause of floods.

Accra has to be planned or released to fix the flood situation.

Anyone who keeps the flood problem of larger ACCRA is clearly due to the massive loss of engineering and the urban planning deficit we have, clearly due to waste drains.

Sturm sequences, sewers and streams cannot be distinguished, we fill Ramsar locations and build …

If you install swamps and dried rivers, you must have large channels. No gutters or channels da Accra is a valley and when it rains, the rivers return. Every year of the same story. pic.twitter.com/widwqfu1va

Ghanaer are the main cause of the flooding of the ACCRA, but I will blame the leaders because they do not want to be proactive and people want to sanction people for bad habits.

If we are still nonchalant and dirty, Accra will not stop flooding.

Be a good citizen. 🤝🏾

If Accra wants to fix its flood problem, many rich people lose their houses and properties of several million dollars in “powerful” positions. And since this will not happen soon, people could only get rescue boats and jackets for the annual disasters.

If we are angry with our politicians, you have to understand the frustration. We have prioritized the wrong things for a long time. Does ACcra have to flood every time it rains? How do we have no answers and solutions? What damage is needed to show that this is urgent and needs a look at it?

You buy land $ 10K+ for ACCRA, if it rains, you will see that the country should rather be 1,000 US dollars.

Accra is too secret.

Every year, Accra flooded, every year nothing is done by the authorities. We act surprised every year. See you next year.
