What is Accra Pictures by Day and Night?

Accra is the capital of the small, West African country of Ghana, which achieved its independence in 1957 from its colonial master, the United Kingdom. It celebrated 50 years in 2007, and is projecting itself fast and furiously as "gateway to West Africa".

It's an exciting city, with its unique problems, but with it close to the Atlantic ocean, and many beaches, who can resist coming here?

Road Indiscipline of the Highest Order!


Scenes like these are not atypical to Ghanaian roads, especially when the roads are as smooth as here.

This, though, does take the biscuit. A big vehicle like this has a centre of gravity disproportionate to the speed. I hope to work to a day when we use more of our cameraphones to snap such road indiscipline...

Wherever you may be, enjoy the weekend--and travel safe!

*Terrible* I think our fellow Ghanaians have become more indisciplined on our roads AFTER the recent Obour-driven road safety campaign.

Oh dear, the Obour campaign!! Whatever happened to that?!

I'm not sure... I stopped watching TV around March but I see signs of Obour's various campaigns in the papers from time to time....Kinda reminds me of the Vice-President's campaign against indiscipline some years back; it sparked more public urination and littering than ever before. That's GH for you.

Now I am keen to hear more about this Obour campaign. Are such campaigns regularly driven by individuals rather than government departments in Ghana?

After Abena's comment, is public urination a problem in Accra? I can assure you that it can be here in Australia over the holiday period, when people tend to drink too much!

Hi Kris, I guess every day is a holiday here in Accra! These campaigns maybe sponsored by a government department plus a so-called "development partner" or two. A star (i.e. a rapper like Obour) may get behind them to give 'em celeb credibility. I totally do not see Obour as the independent originator of the campaign but maybe I'm totally wrong.
