The capital city on Friday would play host to the first African-American President of the United States of America, Hussein Barrack Obama.
The capital city has recently been bedeviled with filth, stench, pools of water, and flooding.
The Accra file has been touring some principal streets - from the country's airport, where it is gathered that brisk business was ongoing on the ceremonial routes - through to the Liberation Road to the Osu Castle. The major roads, which the President and his entourage would be plying, have succumbed to the rains and have developed gullies and potholes.
Despite the massive cleanup being executed by Zoomlion Waste Management to get the city prepared for the big visit, wayside beggars are having a field day.
The Kaneshie Market is buried in filth, spreading to the main Malam - Cape Coast road, and the rains have washed some parts of the Malam road away, which needs urgent attention.
Accra is now enveloped in floods, due to the unavailability, or the small size of drains on the sides of the roads, and is now causing havoc.
Pieces of information picked by the File reveals that the visiting President would be hosted at the plush La Palm Beach Hotel, situated at La, and the beaches there have been turned into a free for all squatting toilet. Earlier this week, the Police Administration issued a statement on how to free the ceremonial routes of traffic. The routes are the Liberation road, Independence Avenue, 28th February Road and Castle Road.
Brisk business is ongoing, but nobody seems to ask if, as a country, we really prepared to host the first African-American President of the United States.

[God Bless You Readers To Want To Know And Seek To Know The Truth] - MAY GOD BE A HAVEN OF PEACE IN OUR TIME OF TROUBLE --
[This inspiring poem was featuring in the movie “Coach Carter ”]
Our Deepest Fear Is Not That We Are Inadequate, Our Deepest Fear Is That We Are Powerful Beyond Measure. It Is Our Light , Not Our Darkness That Most Frightens Us.
We Ask Ourselves, Who Am I To Be Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented, And Fabulous ?
Actually Who Are We Not To Be ? You Are A Child Of God.
Your Playing Small Doesn’t Serve The World.
There Is Nothing Enlightened About Shrinking So That Other People Won’t Feel Insecure Around You.
We Are All Meant To Shine, As Children Do.
We Were Born To Make Manifest The Glory Of God That Is Within Us.
It’s Not Just In Some Of Us; It’s In Everyone.
And When We Let Our Own Light Shine We Unconsciously Give Other People Permission To Do The Same.
And As We Are Liberated From Our Own Fear, Our Presence Automatically Liberates Others
- Marianne Williamson -
[NOTE – BEING AFRAID AND REFUSING TO GET INVOLVED WON’T STOP US FROM DYING. BUT BEING AFRAID CAN PREVENT US FROM LIVING]
(Nkosi Sikeleli Africa )
God bless Africa May her glory be lifted high Hear our petitions .
God bless us, Your children God we ask You to protect our nation Intervene and end all conflicts Protect us, protect our nation, our nation.
From the blue of our heaven, From the depths of our sea, Over our eternal mountain ranges, Where the cliffs give answer.
Sounds the call to come together, And united we shall stand, Let us live and strive for freedom, In South Africa our land.
