“FIX THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR STEP DOWN”– CONCERNED ROAD USERS TO THE UPPER EAST REGIONAL MINISTER


The capital town of the Upper East Region, Bolgatanga, roads has been decorated with all kinds of traffic lights but none of them are functioning. This makes users of the road: both drivers and pedestrians feel uncomfortable anytime they are using these major roads in their daily businesses in the town.

They believed that the traffic lights are just on the various road points for beautification and not to help pedestrians to minimize road accidents.


According to Mr Razak, a spokesperson for Bolgatanga Youth Movement (BYM), they have been complaining about the poor nature of the traffic lights to the Regional Minister and the Municipal Chief Executive, but they have turned a blind eye on it. And they are calling on the president of the Republic of Ghana to either help them to fix the traffic lights or allow the Regional Minister to resign.



” For the past two years, the traffic lights are not functioning, and day in, day out innocent road users, especially school children are losing their lives through accidents. Yet the Regional Minister and the Municipal Chief
Executive are doing totally nothing to address this problem simple because they have V8 vehicles to be roaming around and drinking beer”, he stressed.



He concluded that the president should either put pressure on the Regional Minister to address the problems or allow him to resign if not, it will be difficult for the party to gain 70% vote coming 2020 election in the Region.

Mr. Abdullah, a Taxi driver , expressed his disappointment on the lackadaisical steps that the Regional Minister and the government are using in tackling the developmental issues in the Region.



“I voted for president Nana Akuffo Addo because I believed in his visions of making Ghana beyond Aid, but it’s a shame that he can’t even repair common traffic lights which has been killing many road users in the Region. Just yesterday, a Taxi driver and motorbike rider crashed just in front of the police headquarters due to no traffic lights regulations”, he vehemently said.

He concluded that either the president should put pressure on the Regional Minister to fix the traffic lights and some of the road signs or risk losing 60% vote in the coming election in the Region.

Remember Slavery

The idea of slavery or slave trade was not foreign to Africa before their contact with the Europeans.There is evidence that Africans were involved in the slave trade through the trans-Saharan and ocean slave trade . The trans-Atlantic  slave emerged as a result of the Portuguese contact with west African especially in Africa in the  15thcentury. Slavery was not an important component of the trans-Atlantic slave trade in the early 15th century. The main items of the slave between the Portuguese and west Africa were gold,beads,copperbars,clothes,cowries,spices etc.However,the discovery of the Americas by the Spaniards and the subsequent exploitation of Africa interms of mining and agriculture led to a special type of labour which could meet the labour needs of the Europeans. Due to the exploration and exploitation of the Americas its still stimulated the need for African slaves.The European Chose African slaves because of their prior experience of using East-African

THE CURRENT SITUATION OF FILTH IN GHANA

SOLUTIONS TO THESE IMPENDING ISSUES ARE AS FOLLOWS ; Place bins at vantage points – It has been said that, the last time this was tried, the bins were stolen. Unpatriotic Ghanaians shouldn’t stop us from living well. Police the beaches- Beaches must be policed, cleaned and preserved – Seriously, the idea of fish fattened on poop is not natural or funny. It is not a worthy cultural practice either. It should stop. The sight of adults and children constantly shitting at our coastline is one of the quickest ways of spreading disease and degrading the seabed. Every home must have a toilet facility – In 2019, open defecation should be unacceptable to all Ghanaians. This must be the law. No landlord should be allowed to rent out rooms if they do not have a  toilet facility. There can be a schedule and a plan for existing properties to include toilet facilities for the number of occupants. But there should be no reason new properties should go up without toilets, Shops and other publ
