I have received with sadness, news of the tragic building collapse in Accra Newtown this afternoon. The building is said to be a place of Christian worship. May the lives lost painfully rest in peace, and my deepest sympathy goes to the families. I pray that all trapped are brought out safely and the injured recover swiftly. I also commend the rescue teams for their efforts to save lives.

“In 2009, I was in Tottenham, UK. After returning to Ghana, I bought 13 excavators, but all of them have been burnt by NAIMOS. I was rich and used to roll with Twum Barima. I even used to arrange money under my bed and sleep on it.” — An excavator operator known as Black Tottenham asserts after a colleague pissed him off

I have become aware of an intended surprise welcome by staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs scheduled for my arrival in Ghana tomorrow. My checks with the Ministry’s management indicate that such surprise welcome ceremonies are a tradition of the ministry to celebrate major accomplishments and proud moments for Ghana. I have expressed my appreciation to management for their thoughtful gesture and instructed that all such plans to offer me a surprise welcome at the Airport be cancelled immediately. I would have strongly opposed the idea if I had been consulted. This is not a personal victory, and besides, there is more work ahead of us. God bless all our dynamic and talented staff at the MFA and bless our dear country even more to keep winning on the global stage under the guidance of President John Mahama. For God, Country and Continent.

In 2021, my friends from uni and I were tasked to use Accra Newtown as a community for our community newspaper project. The first story I wrote was on this building, as at that time it had been abandoned for over a decade, it looked dangerous it’s so unfortunate this happened.

Personnel from the Ghana Armed Forces have arrived at the scene of the tragic Accra Newtown Experimental School Building collapse to assist in rescue efforts, as 41 out of 45 persons believed to be trapped under the rubble remain unaccounted for.

Hon Sosu spoke with his life experience in mind. If you don't know, he was a homeless young aspirational man who used to push a wooden truck to eat.
