mdntiri: Thank you Vankelvin. I didn't want to talk too much on this. It's heartbreaking. Tema, Ashaiman with their large populations, great locations on the busy Nigeria-Ivory Coast road, their nearness to Accra etc etc should be planned into proper modern cities with high rises, many multistorey indoor markets, dualized roads, intra city rail etc etc. Even common Tema-Accra rail line which should ideally be double track, even this small line we can't run. Poorer Senegal is running electric trains for example
Etc etc etc. I could go on and on. It's sad. Ghana our biggest currency is our PEACE. And with all this peace if we can't be VISIONARY and think BIG and radically transform our spaces then I don't know
It's about time they decentralized our MMD assemblies. Also they should pass the bill that will allow us to elect our MMDCE's so they can take charge of the developmental needs in their jurisdictions. The idea of allowing President appoint MMDCE's is not helping. Over 90% of these appointees are seriously empty, arrogant, cleuless to say the least but in the name of politics they are given all these juisy positions.
mdntiri: Ok. And the various MCEs have not done any better. Its sad. I'm sure the lack of growth would explain the population decline too
Tema City needs a competent and a visionary Mayor, MCE's to collaborate with TDC to go strictly according to the plan of the city. Tema can easily be transformed into a modern city.
I personally do not see the population decline of Tema as a problem.
mdntiri: Why's Tema a neglected city? With all the resources, harbour, factories, nearness to Accra, it's planned nature etc etc, why's Tema a neglected city? Why's there a decline in the city's population, when it should rather be going up? From 161,612 in 2013 to 155, 782 in 2020?
It was suppose to be the National capital of Ghana but was abondoned right after the overthrown of Kwame Nkrumah.
The plan and everything about the city has been thrown away and they are now building anyhow..
TDC hasn't done much to develop the city. Take beautification for example, they have failed.
Go to the new areas in Tema, most roads have not been constructed.
No Public University
Tema was suppose to have one of the biggest Hospitals but they don't.
No Stadium etc
If Tema development went according to plan like Accra wouldn't be anywhere near Tema (in terms of development) but the opposite is what we see today.
Just40: Almost 4 million square meters of manufacturing and warehousing space created and occupied by car manufacturing companies and other high tech companies.
Tayser: What would frustrate me about your 68kms? What different accounts are you on about? Dont speak to me like that dwarf. I'll smack your short bald head.

Are you a member of the ruling Government? You seem to have more info and pictures of all the ongoing projects in Nigeria
Just40: there's nothing like kids picking in cocoa farms.
There's nothing like kids in mining, and there's only one Chinese own mine in Ghana and it is up North and there are no kids there (a large skill mine).
Face you annual hunger issue and don't drag us into it, we are not the cause... Your laziness is
Putin says you should end Starvation before venturing into geopolitics
What a savage stray bullets flying everywhere
This advice weak me saf Very vawulence advice and I didn't cedis coming
chrisooblog: Agree with you. We can question the morality of the invasion but the fact of the matter is Russia based on historical antecedence was never going to allow Ukraine to be pro-west or America. The Ukrainian political leadership should have massaged putin's ego by being strictly neutral. Trying to join Nato freaked out the Russians (cuban missile crises anyone) giving Putin all the needed excuse to invade. Feel bad for the Ukrainian people because they are effectively on their own. The only real deterrent Russia will respect is military force which I'm not too sure Biden is ready for.
Exactly
At the end Ukraine will be another Syria whereas these Americans and Uk will have their countries unaffected by any war.
Just40: Get ready for grain shortages in Kenya as 90% of your country grain import comes from Ukraine...
More hunger for you, better start planting
This Ukraine issue, all sentiments aside, they will be better off humbling themselves for Russians than taking sides with USA UK et al. If care is not taken they will end up like Syria, Iraq, Lybia etc. Never trust Americans
rvp2018: People are free to plant whatever they want in their farms. If your farm has food crops - will you give it for free to drought stricken people in northern part of the country. The people starving in Sahel - do not starve for lack of food - but for lack of money to buy food. Their food crop is livestock - cows, sheeps and goats - when drought come - it wipes most of them.
Stop giving flimsy excuses over why your people keep starving even in 2022.
You use your fertile lands for growing flowers and tea when a good number of kenyans starve to death, common sense is indeed not common to common people.
Another point I get from your comment is about poverty in the Sahel areas in Kenya. So you mean your country have not heard of irrigation farming? Farming is one of the simple ways of providing jobs for your people, if they were busy doing irrigation farming they wouldn't be poor to the extent of not having money to buy food.
