THE PERIL OF GHANA





Health on earth is a very sensitive aspect of life that every human should consider. When one mentions health others may ask what it's all about. Yes, health in the broader sense casts across all activities of life: in the vehicle, in the market, on the farm, in the house and counting on.
Please excuse me to query you a little, when was the last time you considered the vicinity of the bus stop where you alight or when you get to any of them along the way?
Right, this will be the subject matter for today’s edition. It has been my worry that in Ghana we usually wait for the worse to happen before action is taken.
The figure featuring this story is a perfect example to buttress my argument in paragraph three of this article. It is a fully erected electricity pole very closed to a bus stop posing danger to passengers on board the commercial vehicle popularly known as “trosxi”.
You might be wondering where this death trap is located. It is not hidden depending on your location on this planet earth. It is on the 10th avenue between the Round About and Ako Adjei Interchange in Accra.  
One may be wondering why am so concerned with this “trivial” issue. The reason is not farfetched. How will you feel if one day it falls in front the “trosxi” which you are on board, let much better falls on it?
I have been wondering if “trosxi” drivers and even passengers take closer look at some of these things they spot on streets. What Ghanaian journalists, who I term as information vans, nose for as news to inform the public. Are they waiting for the worse to happen before they make their noise about it?
Those were some of the questions that trooped through my mind when I first spotted it. Well, perhaps, that is their “house style”, as they say.                 
However, the question is, who is responsible for replacing it
