The Locker Room

Point.

Odaw River was supposed to be this physically hundred percent.

We only have thirty percent.

That is something they should look at.

They should break buildings regardless of politics.

That is something that we need to do.

Again, we should understand that Ghana has human beings, and if we don't care about the human beings, then we should stop talking about this because people die.

That is what I will leave this.

Thank you very much.

Nana Poku, I think we are g-- we are gonna have a big conversation with you.

I think you, you know your stuff on that.

But w-w-what-

Yeah

... water moves.

Yeah.

Water just need a pathway to move.

So let's-

It will always find its place

... let's, let's work on the drainage system.

Mm.

In your area, on a, on a major, major gutters or drainage systems like the Odaw, let's, let's desilt it.

Not wh- n-n-not only when it's raining.

Random times we should be desilting it, and then let's improve drainage systems across Accra and all over Ghana.

And then by doing so, I think we'll have a better solution for our problems currently.

Ale, it's not easy.

Accra, [laughs] Accra floods and this issue, we've been talking about this since I was young, and we're still talking about it.

It's been from 1960 to date.

You get any newspaper clippings, you see Accra flooding.

Thank you all for joining us.

Um, Nana Poku, listen, your passion for this conversation, thank you very much.

Thank you very much, Prof, from the University of, um, um, um, UNIR, yes.

Thank you very much for joining us.

And we had, um, Jimmet on earlier on.

You also heard from Queen Baka and Madam Yvonne, who have their own challenges with this flood.

My name is Kokuo Asante.

We'll see you again same time next week on Ghana Connect.

Have a great, lovely weekend.

[singing] Never felt this free before.

I'm high and I'm getting higher.
