Ghanaian actress and social activist Efia Odo has shared an emotional reaction to the recent flooding in Accra, expressing concern over the number of people who continued with their daily activities despite hours of heavy rainfall.

In a post shared on social media on June 29, 2026, the actress said she was deeply troubled by the fact that many Ghanaians still felt they had no option but to leave their homes and venture into dangerous floodwaters in order to earn a living.

Efia Odo argued that the country's harsh economic conditions have pushed many people into choosing work over personal safety, even when doing so could put their lives at serious risk.

"It blows my mind that it rained for hours, yet so many people still felt they had no choice but to leave their homes just to make a living. We've been conditioned to believe that making money comes before our own safety, even when the consequences can be deadly. In many ways, we're subconsciously becoming the walking dead," she wrote.

Beyond expressing her disappointment, the actress called on political leaders to set aside partisan interests and work together to find permanent solutions to Ghana's recurring flooding crisis.

According to her, the destruction caused by floods has become a yearly occurrence, with lives lost and countless homes, businesses and properties damaged, making it clear that urgent intervention can no longer be delayed.

"Politics must be put aside and urgent action must be taken to address these recurring floods. Year after year lives are lost, homes, properties and businesses are damaged!" she stressed.

Efia Odo's remarks come as public frustration continues to grow over the recurring floods that affect parts of Accra whenever there is heavy rainfall. Her comments join those of several Ghanaian celebrities and public figures who have recently demanded long-term solutions instead of temporary relief efforts after each disaster.

She also insisted that Ghanaians deserve resilient infrastructure and sustainable flood-control measures that protect lives and property, rather than repeated promises that fail to prevent the same tragedies from occurring every rainy season.
