A chimpanzee can be enameled with the best of clothes imported from Italy but that would not in anyway change its true nature.
Dress up a goat in silk woven in India, bring Gucci shoes from Europe, perfume it with a fragrance made in Paris, the vicissitudes of time would whisk away these fine materials, leaving the goat standing naked.
The passage of time, very much often, exposes the bare facts to the world, and this analogy soundly describes the Kwame Nkrumah Inter-change (Dubai).
Mr. John Mahama thought beautifying that rickety of an interchange with powerful lights which illuminate the entire edifice when darkness falls would take away the defects therein.
For political expediency, the project was rushed through its construction. No major drains were constructed to wheel away water during rainfalls.
The skies above let down their tears yesterday, and this, for many reasons, should come with good luck. Rains are heartily embraced especially when the weather we live with has proven to be unfriendly.
Just 30 minutes of rainfall last night and the most beautifully built edifice in the whole of West Africa, Circle Dubai, gets flooded simply because the government at the time decided to do a shoddy job when constructing the interchange.
Despite its huge size in terms of the cost of construction, Circle Dubai, the Paris during the night, the New York City when night falls, is but a slummy precipitous edifice which exudes pain to the many who live close to it.
Blame the old wine who wants to bottle himself in a new wineskin (John Dramani Mahama). He indeed, caused financial loss to Ghana!

If your government had disilted the gutters and drains, the circle interchange will not have flooded. You are super incompetent.
These people talk too much without proffering any solution to our country's problem...They Blame from opposition even into government...If someone has done some and there are issues, why wont maintain it. It beats my imagination when i hear these so called NPP foot-soldiers blaming and defending this super-incompetent and sub-standard government. You cant build anything, only renaming and you will not also praise the one who built..what kind of human beings are...Or you think you are more educated than who?...since when have they even started going to school self...n0ns3nse lol
Talk is cheap. You travel Thousand of miles to admire zoo,beaches etc & cannot keep your own clean. Ghana aden yet we pray 24 /7 for God's favor. Nyame p3 efie.
Anytime l look at this picture, i cry. The greediness of our leaders is sending the country to an early grave. Thousands of citizens are jobless, the sick is not comfortably hospitalized, the masses live in poverty, but our leaders take pride in wasting money. You will reap what you have sown. God have mercy on the masses you have been good voters for ages.
It is very important that we as Ghanaians apply logic in our thinking so we can always do the right thing. It is illogical to ask what has been after the construction, to improve the drainage. For such a big project, it was very necessary to dig up and lay all he big drains before building on it. You don't build and. then go and dig under it in fire, to lay drains. Please if any of you find yourself supervising, or building anything for Ghana in future, do it logically. Do the first things first. Don't do a shoddy work and expect someone to fix your mess later.
Isn't it cute? Just press that little button marked CALL A BAD GOVERNMENT TO ACCOUNT, and just look at how they all jump! Like lice emerging from a filthy mattress in the dark. The Circle Interchange project was a mismanaged mess from start to finish, and has left Accra with countless problems beyond. These range from cost overhang to poor planning and construction to aggravated risks from poor drainage. The NDC must learn to admit where it has failed. And stop behaving as if Rome was built in two years and so NPP should do the same.
Still blaming others for thier obysmal performance after almost two and half years in power,Akufo Addo and the npp are failure and futile.
What NPP policy hasn't failed since they (NPP) came to power and has to be looked into with time? N-One Highway, Free SHS, taxes at the harbor, towing of vehicles etc., etc. Just name them. Every project may need some changes along the line as population and times change. It is incumbent on the authorities to tackle the necessary short comings when need be. Always blaming others for some challenges tell a whole lot of stories about your inefficiencies being shifted to others. I become tired of a nagging friend or wife or parent. It solves no problem but compounds the problem. Do what is within your powers to do and leave those you can't do for others to come and handle. But to always complain and blame others shows how unhelp*ful you are yourself. Be proactive.
After the flood fire in 2015 during the bridge construction,one should have known there was a design flaw that must be addressed . If it was an European country there would have relooked at the design again but as African as we are , as Ghanaian as we are , we went on with the construction . They will come back and readdress it by cutting through the beautiful road that has been laid. This shows how ***barred word*** we are .
Most of you the NPP guys know nothing , the flood came all the way from Nima to Assylum down and over flow to circle it was not the make of the over pass at all , the over flow from the back of Enerst chemist and that Christian Methodist school area to circle.
