Building
Building in Ghana used to mean hope. Today it feels like punishment. I watch people spend years saving money only for inflation to destroy the budget overnight. Cement prices rise like they are competing with cryptocurrency. Contractors disappear. Land guards show up like unpaid movie villains. Politicians keep talking about affordable housing while ordinary people cannot even afford roofing sheets. In Accra, building a house is no longer just construction. It is stress, debt, corruption, pressure, and survival mixed together. I see families fighting over land. I see unfinished buildings everywhere like monuments to broken dreams. Ghana is building luxury apartments, but ordinary people are slowly being pushed out of their own future.
