Famous Ghanaian rapper M.anifest has joined the growing number of voices expressing concern over Accra’s recurring flooding challenges, as the capital continues to struggle with the impact of heavy rains.
Following the torrential downpour that disrupted life across several communities on Monday, June 29, 2026, the rapper shared his thoughts on X with a brief but striking observation about the city’s preparedness for disasters.
“In Accra you don’t plan for disaster, but disaster plans for you,” he wrote.
The statement quickly spread across social media, with many users describing it as a reflection of the repeated flooding incidents and concerns over the city’s inability to effectively manage the situation during the rainy season.
The heavy rains brought parts of Accra to a standstill, flooding roads, disrupting transport networks, and leaving many commuters stranded. For many residents, the scenes from Monday’s rainfall echoed a familiar pattern of destruction that has accompanied major storms in the capital over the years.
M.anifest’s comments come amid wider public criticism of the response to Accra’s flooding crisis, with several public figures and citizens calling on authorities and institutions responsible for urban planning, drainage, and infrastructure maintenance to find lasting solutions.
