Award-winning dancehall artiste Stonebwoy has joined the growing list of public figures reacting to Accra’s latest floods, urging Ghanaians to take collective responsibility in addressing the recurring disaster.
In the aftermath of Monday’s heavy downpour, which submerged several communities and disrupted movement across the capital, the musician took to social media with a message that looked beyond the immediate destruction.
“We all have a role to play,” Stonebwoy wrote, calling on citizens to do their part in protecting the environment and helping to prevent the annual flooding that continues to affect lives and property.
While acknowledging the scale of the devastation, the Into the Future hitmaker suggested that tackling the problem requires more than government intervention alone. His comments highlighted the importance of responsible waste disposal, environmental consciousness and a shared commitment to keeping drains and waterways free from obstruction.
Stonebwoy’s message quickly resonated with fans, many of whom agreed that lasting solutions will require both effective infrastructure and active public participation. Others used the opportunity to renew calls for stronger urban planning and improved drainage systems across flood-prone areas.
The musician’s reaction comes as emergency agencies continue to assess the damage caused by the torrential rains, which left roads impassable, stranded commuters and forced many residents from their homes.
As conversations about Accra’s flood challenges continue, Stonebwoy’s appeal serves as a reminder that solving the city’s long-standing drainage problems is a shared responsibility. While the rains may come and go, the choices made before the next storm could determine whether history repeats itself once again.
