Accra: The famous play 'The Gods Are Not to Blame' presents a tragic story shaped by prophecy, fear, pride, and human decisions. Though the title appears to defend the gods from blame, the deeper lesson is that human beings often participate in the making of their own downfall.
According to Ghana Web, yesterday, like many other heavy rainy days in Ghana, various parts of the country experienced significant flooding. The founding executive director of the BuzStopBoys, Heneba Safo, highlighted how well-constructed drains at Mallam had become choked with rubbish, contributing to severe flooding in Mallam and many other areas.
The call for responsibility is urgent. The practice of deferring blame must end, as the nation faces the consequences of improper waste disposal. Some sanitation workers, paid to collect rubbish, have been accused of dumping garbage in gutters under the cover of anonymity.
The recurring question remains: how long will Ghana be the cause of property damage and loss of life each rainy season? Despite being labeled a Christian country, with a minority of other God-fearing religions, the nation's actions suggest otherwise.
The condition of Ghana's drainage systems mirrors the spiritual state of its citizens. Until there is a collective effort to address both physical and moral waste, each rainy season will reflect the inner turmoil. When both the land and heart are clogged, peace remains elusive.
A heartfelt appeal to fear God genuinely calls for honoring Him through belief in Christ, repentance, confession of faith, baptism, and living a renewed life. Only then can the nation hope to see a change in both its physical and spiritual landscapes.
