Just in case Ghanaian Politicians forget in Election Year 2012...

Ghanaians do NOT "eat" roads!

This is a common refrain heard by Ghanaians of all walks of life. It is especially heard in years when elections take place, such is this Olympic year of 2012.

When politicians go campaigning, vox pop by media houses are likely to include a piece of an agitated voter stating categorically that "these politicans think they can come after three years of doing nothing and present only a road they did for us in this community. Do  they not know we don't eat roads?"

If roads were designed for eating, I daresay there would not be enough for anyone in 
this country!

Time for some Law and Order--Ghana-Style!

Signs like these literally litter the capital. As to whether Ghanaians pay attention to them is, well, moot! I must say, though, that I pass this sign every day on my way home, and I have yet to see any litter since it was put here around three months ago. Maybe we can speculate that we're becoming more sensitive to the need of protecting the environment? (and pigs can fly, too!)

Even if we are some seventeen days into the New Year, I believe nothing stops me from wishing you all a FABULOUS New Year--replete with good luck and good cheer?
