If Ghana’s first president –Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was alive today, he would have regretted making this statement; “The black man is capable of managing his own affairs.” The activities of the black man only proves that he’s only capable of mismanaging his own affairs and even that of others that have been left in his care.
Ghana is indeed a country where those in charge of certain facilities behave as if they have never heard the word maintenance in their entire lives before. Driving or walking through town, you will come across several facilities that have been abandoned. One of such places is the Efua Sutherland Children’s Park in Accra.
The 12-acre amusement park which used to be the hub of all entertainment activities for children and adults in Accra is in a very terrible and distasteful state.
GhanaCelebrities.Com visited the place and what we saw was appalling. The park is being subjugated by unkempt weeds. As if that isn’t enough, none of the amenities is working at the place. The trains and see-saws are corroded and in a messed up state. Whoever is in charge of the place ought to sit up and develop the place.
Our leaders have totally failed us and the generation to come—they are able to afford and take their children abroad to enjoy such basic facilities but leave nothing for the ordinary Ghanaian child. Where do we take our children?
Just a small park, we can’t even maintain it?
If you think we are exaggerating this, take a look at the pictures…
