He should start by selling a bag of cement for 50cedis
They make billions from national resources, donate a few thousand, and pretend like they love Africa too much”.
A netizen added, “Every country in Africa can achieve huge levels of economic development if it’s businessman adopt this attitude. MBS locked up Saudi businessman in a luxury hotel and only let them out after they brought back their foreign stash and invested it locally”.
One X user added, “Everyone will make it if he or she gets the opportunities and privileges Ibrahim Mahama got through Sam Jonah at Goldfields, Kuffour admin, Mahama’s admin, Akuffo Addo’s admin.
Those who made it through the hard way MUST also be appreciated”.

One last X user added, “Tell those stupid politicians who steal to buy houses in America, London, Dubai and put those looted funds in accounts there. If they had made those investments in the country, at least they’d have been half-wise, although they stole the money”.

There are people who need just a small help. That help I got, that Ghc 10,000, I am looking for people…Just that we are not disciplined. I gave someone who was struggling money, and you’ll see that they want to spend it,” he said.
