Imagine your house is burning down, maybe even there might be children stuck at the top floor like almost each and everyone of us have witnessed in the American movies. If the fire is out of control the innitial reaction is to call the fire service.
And in anycase imagine the relief you will be in knowing that the fire service is literally one minute walk away from the burning building. However, they take quite a while to come, and when they arrive they don’t have water in their tanks to put out any fire.
This was the reality of the recent burnings and fire in Ghana’s most popular trade market, Makola market this past weekend. This is the shambles the current president Nana Akufo-Addo has left the country in. Read about the burning market below.

Ghana’s leading fashion event Accra Fashion Week is scheduled for 7-11 December 2022 following their 5th-year celebration last year in 2021. Accra Fashion Week is a platform for African designers that can be compared to fashion weeks across the major capitals. It aims to fill the void which sees tremendous creativity and culture across the continent with the absence of an operating fashion infrastructure.
The epic event took place at Ghana Dubai in Accra, and saw models march down the steps from the Kwame Nkrumah Monument whilst being followed by a spotlight, before circulating the central fountains. Memories of the exciting night still give chills as guests revisit the experience on youtube.
However, rest assured that 2022 is going to be even more exciting with greater performances and an upgraded designer collection. FashionGHANA.com is sure to bring you the exclusives we did on www.FashionGHANA.com/TV. All last year’s shows are available to watch on youtube. Designer’s registration is ongoing on the AccraFashionWeek.org website.
