Reacting on X, M.anifest captured the frustration in a single line that quickly went viral:
“In Accra you don’t plan for disaster, but disaster plans for you.”
The post sparked widespread engagement online, with many users saying it reflected the reality of recurring urban flooding in the capital.

M.anifest’s Reaction Captures Growing Frustration
Monday’s downpour once again exposed Accra’s strained drainage systems, with floodwaters cutting off major routes and slowing down both commercial and private transport across the city.
For many residents, the incident is less about surprise and more about repetition. Each heavy rainfall brings similar disruptions, raising renewed questions about drainage maintenance, waste management and unchecked development in waterways.
M.anifest’s comment has since become a focal point in online discussions, with many Ghanaians agreeing that the city continues to struggle with the same structural issues year after year.
Meanwhile, Nana Aba Says It’s ‘Same Script Every Year’
Meanwhile, media personality Nana Aba Anamoah also weighed in on the situation, criticising what she described as the predictable cycle of flooding and temporary responses.
In posts on X, she questioned the effectiveness of past interventions, including an anti-flood task force set up last year, and directed remarks at the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Akweley Ocloo.
She wrote:
“How do you feel this morning @HonLindaAkweley?”
Nana Aba later added that the country appears to reset after every flood episode only to repeat the same pattern when the rains return.
“Same script every year. The rains end, everyone resets to factory settings and we reconvene next rainy season for another round of outrage.”
Her comments reflect a wider public concern that despite repeated promises, flooding in Accra remains an unresolved annual crisis.
