When it rains in Accra

By Edmund Smith-Asante

When the the slight drizzle I encountered on my way to work on Friday, June 27, 2014 intensified, little did I know that I was in for a "shockprise", much as the intensity had lasted for only few minutes.
I virtually had to wade through scary floods on the streets. Oh mother Ghana! Where are all our engineers?

Transportation in Dakar

BY EDMUND SMITH-ASANTE

One of the amazing sights of Dakar is the use of horse-drawn carts to transport goods. During my visit in the second week of April 2013, this was a common sight in the Senegalese capital.
To transport or ferry passengers however, the main means of transport, it was observed, were two bus types - one white (the big ones), and the other yellow (the small or mini buses).
Taxis painted in yellow and black, could also be seen on the roads.
