The luxury apartment buildings have high-end amenities like swimming pools, restaurants, bars, and gyms where people can hang out. Some of the very rich and influential people in Ghana own apartments there.
It then showed the Tetteh Quarshie interchange. The cloverleaf interchange is a six-lane motorway that links the Liberation Road from 37 Military Hospital to the Pantang Junction through Madina in Accra, Ghana. The interchange was commissioned for vehicular use on February 27, 2005, by the then-president of Ghana, John Agyekum Kufuor.

Ghana, shot from above is so clean and beautiful. Unfortunately, we don't live our lives in the sky. Only a few fly by planes and sticks. When you come down, we are still too dirty and we need cleaning like seriously. Sadly

@THYGH_T asked:

These beautiful sights are constituted within 0.094620031% of Ghana - which is total land area of Accra percentage-wise. If you are impressed, you have settled for less. There's a long way to go and Ghana has not even began. When will Africans wake up?

Like someone said when you are a bird you view Ghana beautifully but when you are a mouse the scenery is different
