Ghana really beyond the pale. No wonder the city looks really dirty

Dodging faeces on the beaches - The New Humanitarianhttps://www.thenewhumanitarian.org › report › ghana-...
16 Sep 2008 — With four million people without access to a toilet and 4.5 million with no sewage facilities, the World Health Organization (WHO) and UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) recently ranked Ghana the fourth most unsanitary country in Africa in a total of 52 judged, and the second dirtiest out of 15 West African countries.

This year alone in 3 months - you already have 10K cases of cholera

Just30:
you do realise you are quoting a dumb medical blog right?


Ghana eliminated Cholera in 2016 and has since not reported a single case up till now.

Cholera is for poverty-driven countries like Kenya

Cholera would not infect 15,000 people if you had it nailed. Learn from Ethiopia. And stop trying to sell us nonsense like Biodigesters How do you ensure everyone is doing that - not dumping sewage on the sea.

It very cheap to fix sewer system - for example we are spending 60m dollars to move Nairobi from 50 to 70%.

Mr Duncan said that although in 1990 when Ghana had seven per cent coverage Ethiopia only had three per cent coverage; the country had been bypassed by Ethiopia, which now has 28 per cent coverage, while Guinea has also progressed from eight to 20 per cent.

You are lame if you dont know that a decentralised wastewater treatment systems are one of the best ways for household waste disposal.

That explains why nairobi river is overflowing with raw sewage and why nairobi has a terrible water crisis

As of 2015 - Ghana was world 7th dirtiest country - and looking at Accra I couldn't agree more
E. Ghana, world’s 7th dirtiest country. 2015. Available from http://graphic.com.gh/features/features/46580-ghana-world-s-7th-dirtiest-country.htm

Ghana, which currently has a Sanitation coverage of 15 per cent, is ranked after South Sudan which has a seven per cent coverage, Niger, 11 per cent; Chad, Madagascar and Togo, 12 per cent each and Sierra Leone which has a 13 per cent access to household toilets, the measurement used for the ranking.

Argue with this empirical publication...that comes top when I search GHANA+Cholera.

Just30:
Lack of portable what?



Ghana is ranked among the best countries when it comes to water supply, as over 85% of Ghanaians have portable water flowing to their homes.
Even in Villages, the is portable water.


Ghana and the word dirt dont belong in the same sentence.
Ghana waste collection systems is one of the most efficient in Africa.

Ranked among the world's dirtiest countries, Ghana has poor environmental sanitation and hygiene, and a lack of potable water

Keep making up your own stories.

While Ghana placed an end to Cholera in 2016 and haven't recorded cases since, every year, about a 100 kenyans die from CHOLERA.

Cholera – Kenya ... From 1 January though 29 November 2017, a total of 3967 laboratory-confirmed and probable cases including 76 deaths

More like we dont need main electricity - let everyone install solar.lame excuse

Just30:
There are way more efficient sewage systems than a central sewage system.

Individual Biogas systems are some of the most modern ones.

Nairobians need to stop defecating in plastic bags are throwing them over people roofs

Manipulating data
https://washdata.org/data/household#!/ken
Kenya - 10% open defacation - roughly 10 M
Nigeria - 20% open defacation - translating into 50 M people -= OPEN DEFACATION CAPITAL OF THE WORLD

Shaytun:
Lmao

Facts speak otherwise.

This is from the UN.

https://washdata.org

Accra - 30% ? Really it 15%. Nairobi is -The Nairobi Sewerage Improvement Project phase 2 (NaRSIP II) is part of the larger Nairobi Rivers Basin Rehabilitation and Restoration Program- That should see coverage of sewage move to 70% of all households.

https://projectsportal.afdb.org/dataportal/VProject/show/P-KE-EB0-010

Wuoche:
Sorry, Nairobi is not your mate. As Accra is still struggling to reach 30% and Lagos also struggling to get to 3%, Nairobi is was at 50% in 2018.

Nairobi is split roughly into two parts - Westland- Eastland. We have informal settlements (SLUMS) occupying 2% built up area - distributed roughly equally btw Eastland and Westlands.

West of Nairobi is best covered here - West of NAIROBI is as good as DEVELOPED WORLD.

Eastland - best covered in that video plus - It could do with more trees for starters - but still WAAAAAAAAAY better than West Africa best parts

Shaytun:
The problem here is you’re lying, I know you’re lying, you know you’re lying , everybody here knows you’re lying.

Dont try the OPEN DEFACATION capital of Nigeria. They use it as fish food.

Except for Abuja and limited areas of Lagos, no urban community has a sewerage system, with the result that sewage in the ZOO.

Just imagine - nearly every town in Kenya has functional sewage.

Wuoche:
What percentage of coverage does Lagos have?

Blaa bla de bla of a goat from the Zoo. Nigeria doesn't even know what a sewage look like - just like typical Ghana - it only exist in the central business district.

Shaytun:
Lol...Nairobi doesn’t have 50% sewage coverage, it’s less than 30% according to your government.

Which is less than that of Ghana

Nairobi is the definition of the poo city.

Where are industries...I see very few at end of the video?

Just30:
Let's take a drive through the industrial area

It makes Nairobi look more and more like the undeveloped hut village it is.

The worst part of Nairobi - Eastland - looks much better than best part of West Africa

Shaytun:
One of the indices that indicate if a city is moving for ward or backpedaling as in the case of Nairobi is to check the conditions of its worst part as the years go by.

This is oshodi, ask anyone this used to be the most disgusting and horrid place to be in Lagos.

Ghana - the CHOLERA Capital

For over 45 years now, the West African nation has suffered recurring cholera outbreaks. In 2014, the Ministry of Health recorded more than 15,000 cases, resulting in around 130 deaths in eight out of its 10 districts.

Try invest in modern sewage system. Nairobi has 50% sewage coverage (now expanding to 70%),
40% improved sanitization (ghana type of cesspit/soakpit/bigodigesters) - THIS WE MUST ELIMINATE
10% shared sanitisation
Less than 1% open defacation.

Meanwhile If I ever come to West Africa - I will never eat FISH
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ghana-environment-water-health-idUSKBN17F207
For decades, cesspit tankers emptied their cargoes of sewage here, collected from across the Accra metropolitan area, while residents traditionally used the site for open defecation.

Some 500 meters away in Jamestown village, 32-year-old Maxwell Lamptay fishes every day in water locals say is contaminated with faeces.

Ghana approved a revised environmental sanitation policy in 2010 that was meant to put an end to the tradition of emptying untreated sewage into the ocean, now more than a century old.

Just30:
zero percent of greater Accra practice open defecation.

We don't need to extend our sewage systems, since there are more modern and affordable individual biogas sewage digester systems.

Now tell me why 50% of Nairobians practice open defecation and only 40% of them are supplied with water in your slummish zoo

Yet your policy wonks choose Nairobi as your vision 2050 north star.

Just30:
Nairobi remains the only Ugly village in Africa and it will remain so for a very long time as long as extreme poverty keeps increasing in your country.

Lame.
Less than 1% of Nairobi practise open defacation. 4% of Greater Accra do.

Now tell us why your slumpolis has NOT extended it's sewarage system since 1970s.

Just30:
This explains why, flying toilet is a big thing in your country

I didn't see any warehouse or godown in the entire video

Just30:
African traveller video was of the light industrial area of Accra and there are no shacks in there

Let talk modern sewage - that is lacking in Accra and many west africa slumpolis.

Nairobi's Dandora Estate Sewerage Treatment Plant (Located in Ruai Nairob) features the largest wastewater stabilisation pond in Africa, treating 80,000 m³ of sewerage per day (80% of Nairobi’s wastewater). - With installed capacity of 160,000 M3.

The Kariobangi sewerage treatment plant, which sits on a 30.2 hectares (74.6 acres) - handles the 20% of the remainder.

Today let us look at accra sanitation (modern sewarage coverage -14%) - Not extended since early 70s!!!!!!

About 15% of the Accra metropolitan, mainly the central area, is served by a piped waterborne
sewerage network and the remaining areas are served by on-site sanitation facilities in the form of
septic tank and improved pit latrines. The sewerage network has seen very little extension since its
construction in the early 1970s. In the newly developing areas, on-site facilities are provided.

Compared with Nairobi - 50%

First phase which increased sanitation coverage from 40 per cent in 2012 to 48 per cent by 2017 for improved public health and sustainable environment.

Phase 2 - Is on - targetting 70% sewage coverage by 2023.

“The project will build on the achievements of NaRSIP Phase I to increase sewerage coverage from 48% currently to 70% by 2023 and provide 12,000 new (household) sewerage connections, serving about 500,000 Nairobi residents,” says Michael Thuita, Director General of the Athi Water Works Development Agency (AWWDA).

Don't argue with video evidence. It makes you look like a complete slowpoke.

PetroDolla2020:
Very stvpid fools. Fuckeduppedness. I am in Accra, at East Legon. I travel regularly all over the world. East, West, north, south Ghana is the best! Accra is a great place to be. Good roads, good security, excellent schools, good electricity and water. What else do fooolish kenyans want?

There are 2.6 million starving people in that zoo called kenya, as we speak so keep posting stvpid photos while your people languish in severe pains with hunger and starvation

I tell people these west africa cities are slumpolis - they don't listen. They are integrated slums. Informal settlements. Ghana has very little in FORMAL HOUSING - proper housing estate.

I am not sure how they will get out these - but Kigali has managed it. Maybe they will do that - basically nuke everything - and rebuild accra.

And what exactly is the problem - you got to choose to use either faster and expensive toll road or free , slow and traffic grindlock. We are just embarking on toll roads.

vaxx:
Common sense should telt you the toll road will be the most conducive hence meet the objective of such policy .


if Kenyans are ignorant, west Africans are not . the idea remain the same .


get more revenue thru toll fee road by collecting additional and overpriced money .

IMF think kenya will have highest growth in Africa this year of 2021 - at 7.6% - pointing at the very resilient kenyan economy

It optional - there is six lane toll road - six lane freeway - you choose to pay or not. The same for other tolls we are planning 500km to Mombasa by Americans. 200km by French. They will build parrallel road...so people have the option to use the freeway or toll road.

vaxx:
you mean the roads you are ready planing on increasing the toll fee on Kenya high way to gain more revenue in order to sustain the project?.

Stop the jokes . And they are more important issue to attend to like the starvation in your country.

It actually chinese "free money; it's a toll road. We expect more such roads.

vaxx:
Hungry Kenyans:....your 620 millions should have safe these people. "Red Cross says 1.4 Million Kenyans are currently food insecure
Situation is more severe in Mandera, Turkana, and Marsabit""
instead of building a project not worth it value .

I was also SHOCKED..the 100M dollars spent on the lipstick on the pig....should be use to tar the inner road.
