Digitalization has now tracked down a super durable home in Ghana. At the last check, all streets, roads, houses, booths, lobbies and chambers were all going to be given locations. How could that be going to be done, considering the way that in pieces of our country, particularly in the purported urban communities, somebody's kitchen might just be the way to another's bedroom? The arrangement was basic: we were going computerized. Extraordinary stuff. Not a poorly conceived notion by any means.
The expressed monetary advantages
Ostensibly, the best explanation set forward to energize the public tending to the framework was the monetary advantages residents, and Governments were sure to appreciate. The contention was made, and with much power, that with every individual having a location where they could be found, banks and monetary organizations will be more than eager to give advances to stripped orange dealers and broiled groundnut sellers who could show evidence of their addresses, that is to say computerized addresses. Their tables by the street side, and for the most part impeding people on foot, were to be given computerized addresses. Incredible imaginative stuff. When they sorted the shining silver plate out on their table-top endeavour, mango tree or stand around midnight by a few obscure people, they turned out to be undeniable residents (obviously, with their similarly shimmering Ghana card). Furthermore, in particular, the government will contact them to gather its assessments, e-wise etc. Fair arrangement.
The truth of the matter is that our lasting permeable location framework had been the subject of many articles and propositions. Thus, not much could be said against the new drive to appropriately address the location framework (joke expected, with relish). The underlying computerized address plates with addresses produced by Ghana Post GPS came with next to no road names, regardless of whether the roads were at that point named.
New road names: By whom and how could they be made?
In time, new location plates began surfacing yet this time, with road names. It is an invigorating sight to see road names on flawless location plates glimmering in the sun and enhancing the goliath and powerful front dividers of the shiny new rich and popular in Accra. In any case, a nearby perusing of the names radiates bizarre energies. For a certain something, the names are generally not quite the same as the all-around existing names of the roads. Along these lines, for example, assuming a road was recently known as 'A Street' and there is an indication of that impact in the city, and the mortgage holders have perfectly composed it on their dividers, the new advanced address will accompany its road name, for instance, 'Bosc Street.' For something else, the vast majority of the names are good for nothing, incoherent and have no bearing by any means with our way of life as a pleased group with different rich social, authentic and topographical legacies.
Nowadays, it is extremely considered normal to see a road with a wonderful signpost showing the road name. Be that as it may, the house address plates show an alternate road name. That won't be a very remarkable issue assuming the new names mirrored our set of experiences, culture and different properties. The vast majority of the new road names, tragically, seem nonexclusive and have no connections to us. A portion of those road names incorporates the intriguing yet pointless: 'Axle,' 'Gingerale,' 'Hawthorne,' 'Agate,' and so forth. There are likewise the expansionism is-dead-however administering us-from-the-grave sorts, for example, 'London,' 'Liverpool,' 'Manchester,' 'London House' and so forth. We additionally see the brainless kinds, for example, 'Banana St.,' 'Apple St.,' 'Insect St.,' 'Berry St.,' 'Oat St.,' and so on. The greater part of us has seen various varieties of these names in our areas and urban communities.
As expressed before, the new road names we see around now have no holding on for our way of life as a group. What we want to see as our road names are our neighbourhood celebrations, streams, towns, authentic legends (guys and females), past conventional rulers, names of African nations and their capital urban areas, previous Ghanaian and African Heads of State and other data of verifiable and touristic importance as a component of our character projected through our road naming methodology. Those we had in the past are currently being unobtrusively supplanted with nonexclusive names on computerized address plates. By regulation, the different Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies are liable for naming our streets and roads. It is suggested that the Assemblies should take a distinct fascination with how this is done to guarantee that it supports our travel industry potential. Considering the incredible jolt the travel industry has gotten after the 'Extended time of Return' festivities, it will be exceptionally reviving for vacationers showing up in our wonderful country to find out about us even from our road and street names, and not to be stood up to with trivial names at each cross and turn.
End
The presentation of the computerized address framework has worked on our public life by making the area of people and organizations a lot simpler. However, we should put forth a cognizant attempt to guarantee that our roads and streets are named in manners that reflect and advance our socio-politico-social, authentic and Pan-African personalities. We should not simply manage with any sort of names whatsoever because that is what a computerized administration merchant may be offering to us.
