Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur Victoria Lebene has sparked conversations online after attributing Ghana’s recurring flooding problems to poor sanitation habits and what she described as God’s displeasure with the nation’s actions.
In a video shared on her social media platforms and sighted by theboysonline.com, Victoria Lebene expressed concern over the increasing flooding incidents being recorded across the country following recent heavy rains.
According to her, while Ghana is currently in the rainy season, the scale of flooding and destruction being witnessed points to deeper issues that citizens must take responsibility for.
“God is angry with us. Ghanaians, God is angry with us. I can understand that we are in the rainy season, but do you see the level of rain, the level of floods, and the level of disasters happening because of the rain? God is indeed angry with us,” she stated.
The actress argued that many Ghanaians contribute to the country’s sanitation challenges by indiscriminately dumping rubbish into gutters and drainage systems, only to complain when floods occur.
“Everybody is complaining that another country is doing this or that, but the same people in this country will go outside and pour filth and rubbish into gutters. Then when it rains, it causes floods, the rubbish chokes the whole system, and we stand up wanting to go and live in another country,” she said.
Victoria Lebene further urged citizens to focus on helping build the country rather than constantly comparing Ghana to other nations.
She noted that travelling abroad for education, business, or leisure was understandable, but stressed that national development would only be achieved if citizens collectively took responsibility for addressing problems at home.
The entrepreneur also called on the youth to support government efforts aimed at improving the country, commending President John Dramani Mahama for what she described as positive leadership.
“Right now, President Mahama is doing a good job. We need to help him as youth. We need to help him as good citizens. We need to help him as a serious country. Even if the country is not serious, let us make the country serious,” she added.
Her comments come amid renewed public debate about flooding, sanitation management, and urban planning following recent downpours that left several parts of Accra and other communities submerged.
