It’s a beautiful Monday morning in Ghana. And Before 5:40am, the Pokuase-Accra road is already doing what it does best , hosting a bus convention. No trains. No trams. Just us, our resilience, and a thousand trotros going nowhere fast. One day, not today, maybe not tomorrow but one day ..can we write “mass transit/Train system” into the development plan? Between the road projects, somewhere. A footnote even. We’ll take it. We’re fixing roads. That’s real. But roads without trains are just wider parking lots. We’re doing the roads. Can we dream a little bigger?

I was at Agbogbloshie Market today, and I have to say, I was shocked The AMA Health Directorate moved in as part of the Clean Ghana Campaign to clear traders off the drains. Some market women resisted, refusing to move, but the bigger picture is even more worrying: the filth in those drains is unbearable. Piles of refuse, stagnant water, and even rodents where vegetables and food items are being sold. Our markets are where we get the food we cook for ourselves and our families. If the very places we rely on for our daily meals are dirty, unhygienic, and unsafe, then there’s a serious problem that affects all of us. This isn’t just about enforcing rules, it’s about public health, dignity, and respect for the spaces we share. It’s heartbreaking to see, and it makes you realize how much work still needs to be done to make our markets safe and clean. We need a solution that works for traders, for shoppers, and for everyone who relies on these markets to eat. #SheJackiesays

Let me be honest with you for a second. After yesterday’s post on other social media platforms , a few people slid into my DMs asking why I take public transport. Why I’m on a trotro. Why I don’t drive. And I sat with that for a moment. Because here’s what people don’t see behind the camera journalism, real journalism, public interest journalism, is not glamorous. The fact that you see my face on a screen doesn’t make me a celebrity. It doesn’t make me wealthy. It makes me someone who showed up to do a job that matters. I take trotro. I stand at bus stops before the sun is up. I travel across this country for stories that need to be told. And I do it without a filter, without pretending my life looks different from what it is. This is my real life. And I’m not ashamed of a single part of it. Being on camera was never about status. It was always about the story

After the Rain showed me serious shege at Lapaz after work this evening it got me thinking… Why do most of our major highways flood after even the least rainfall? At Lapaz, the sidewalks are occupied by hawkers, so pedestrians are forced to use the edge of the road. But when the road is flooded too, what options do people have? You either risk slipping, getting splashed by cars, or walking through dirty water just to get home. Is this normal? Because for major roads and highways, shouldn’t proper drainage be a basic priority?

Accra today was something else. Every alternative route was choked. No shortcuts. No escape. But the real question is this: How long can a city keep adding more cars without building proper trains to move people? Took this video while I was busily chasing various alternatives to get home

Monday morning (6am) reality on the Pokuase–Accra stretch. I managed to get a car easily today (skipped breakfast and rushed out after oversleeping thanks to last night’s blackout 😭), but Mile 7 and Barrier tell a different story, crowds stranded, traffic building, and frustration setting in. This daily commute is a silent struggle many endure just to show up. The youth are not lazy. They are trying. The system just needs to meet them halfway.

For the 5th time, newly recruited teachers are back on the streets… demanding what is rightfully theirs. Up to 14 months without pay. Some still without staff IDs. Clearance was announced months ago…yet no clear roadmap for their arrears. How long should people work without salary before it becomes a crisis?

Guys the transport issue is crazy I spent my day in the streets commuting from Accra to Kasoa just to engage with commuters and see the situation and hmmmmm How can you be standing by the road side for 4 hours just to get a car to your destination You might as well just stop and sleep home

What happened to me yesterday during the #SaveTheJudiciaryDemo was uncalled for. While I was interviewing the former Minister of Education, an unknown man appeared out of nowhere, forcefully pushed my mic aside and shoved me. This was not an isolated incident,

6:18am on the Achimota–Accra road, starting from Tantra Heavy traffic already building. Some commuters stranded by the roadside waiting for transport No rail system in sight or future plans, just more buses and more cars joining the road every day. How long can this continue before we have a serious conversation about urban transport? Just a concerned public interest journalist observing the morning rush

Watching protest culture elsewhere puts things in perspective. In Ghana, protests are negotiated, dates must be approved, routes adjusted, permissions granted. Here, I witnessed a protest right in front of the Federal Foreign Office. Anywhere. Anytime ooo Different democracies, different expressions

Still trying to find the words for this moment. What started as just another day on set Earlier today turned into one of the sweetest surprises, and I was completely caught off guard. To be celebrated so thoughtfully, in a place that has become such a big part of my journey, meant more than I can explain. My heart is full, and I’m beyond grateful Thank you Talk No Dey Cook Rice Podcast JoyNews Joy Digital

Some teachers in Ghana have worked for 14–17 months without receiving their full salary arrears. There is No clear payment timeline and No structured plan. Meanwhile, new recruitments continue. This isn’t just a policy issue. It’s a human one. Paying people for work they’ve already done is not a privilege. It’s the bare minimum #Raparations

Back on the drains… again! 😳 Today at Agbogbloshie Market, after AMA officials cleared traders selling on the drains as part of the Clean Ghana Campaign, you’d think the drains would stay clear but just moments later, some stubborn traders were back, placing consumables, vegetables, and other food items directly on the gutters. It’s a scene that raises serious questions: How do we balance enforcement with the daily struggle of traders trying to make a living? And how safe is it for the food we buy when it’s being sold on drainage channels? I want to hear from you should AMA keep strict enforcement, or is there a better solution that works for traders and shoppers alike? Drop your thoughts below. 👇 #SheJackiesays #fypreelsシ゚viralシ
