Media personality, Berla Mundi, has expressed frustration over the growing problem of noise pollution in Ghana.
In a post shared on social media on February 13, 2025, Berla Mundi labelled Ghana as a “sick country” due to the incessant noise on the streets these days.
For instance, she lamented how trucks selling “nkura duro” (rat medicine) blast loud music and make announcements as early as 6 a.m., disturbing people who are either still asleep or preparing for work.
“Ghana is a sick country, honestly! Explain to me why there’s a truck selling ‘nkura duro’ with loud music and announcements as early as 6 am on the streets,” she said.
Berla criticised this behaviour and urged those responsible to stop disturbing others.
“When people are sleeping or getting ready for work, that’s noise pollution,” she added.
The post has since sparked a wave of reactions from netizens, with many individuals sharing similar complaints about noise disturbances in their own communities.
