Blakofe expresses frustration over growing indiscipline in Ghana

Former Deputy Director of the Ghana Tourist Development Company, Akua Djanie, popularly known as Blakofe, has expressed her concerns about the increasing levels of indiscipline across the country.

Her utterances were captured on an X post by Sikaofficial on July 23, 2025.

The accompanying caption stated, “Former Deputy Director of the Ghana Tourist Development Company, Akua Djanie, popularly known as Blakofe, has raised concerns about the growing level of indiscipline in the country after witnessing a woman selling her wares on a section of a major street. She noted that such acts have become common, with perpetrators justifying their actions due to the need to survive and the high costs of living.”

“This is how indiscipline starts. This is a street you are supposed to drive on, yet this unknown trader has turned it into her trading space with her clothes. When I asked her if this was the right thing to do, she responded with, ‘Aane, y3b3 y3 nu den?'” she said.

“I understand the system is tough, but that’s not an excuse to be indiscipline. Should we all start bringing our clothes to the roadside to trade? What do you expect to happen here?” she added.

Her comments come after observing a woman selling goods on a major street, a situation Blakofe noted is becoming increasingly common.

“We need discipline and leadership in this country. Actions like these do not help us at all. We cannot just decide to trade on the roadside because times are hard; this is a road, after all,” she remarked.

“This is where she is trading, apparently sitting on the floor instead of using a tabletop. If I speak out about it, people say I’m too-known, but these issues are what make our country dysfunctional. M’abr3,” she added.

Blakofe pointed out that such actions are often justified by those involved with the excuse that they need to survive amid high cost of living.
