A viral video of President John Dramani Mahama spraying cash on his sister, Mrs Hawa Mahama, has surfaced on social media.
In the 30-second video of President Mahama was shown throwing 200 paper notes on his sister during the final funeral rites of Madam Dora Okyere Akosah, her mother-in-law.
Hawa Mahama was dressed in a black outfit with a red cloth tied around her waist. Dancing in front of President Mahama, who was also dressed in an all-black outfit.
President Mahama later rose from his seat by showering her with the banknotes.
He later sat down while his sister continued to exchange pleasantries with other guests.
Some Ghanaians have reacted to the news, saying, “Mahama bringing the energy…spraying cash at the funeral rites of Madam Dora Okyere Akosah shows a mix of tradition and respect. It’s a cultural moment that blends celebration, mourning, and community vibes all at once”.
“Ghanaians are quite eerrr…Nana did the same, and people insulted him all over… Nyame nkoaa ne nokwarefo….let’s all keep on pretending”, another Ghanaian stated.
One more netizen wrote, “You can’t trust this John Mahama guy, can Eric Agyei or Kwadwo Dankwah do the same and get away with it? Mahama practices what u preach, dude. u warn ur appointees not to do this, but u turn around and do it yourself? You can’t trust John Mahama in anything, ladies and gentlemen”.
A netizen noted,“Eiii, you people and your captions .. sister of Ibrahim Mahama.. and when it’s Ibrahim di3 it’s his brother straight up .. couldn’t you just say his sister?”
“Do I get this right? Ibrahim Mahama is brother to prez Mahama, so if Hawa Mahama is Ibrahim Mahama’s sister, doesn’t that make her prez Mahama’s sister as well??”, another Ghanaian stated.
“What we know is that it’s not galamsey money, unlike a past president who was seen taking galamsey money publicly into his pocket. At least, we know nothing prevents him from spraying his hard-earned money on someone he loves. His action was shown out of love,” An X user wrote.
Additionally, a netizen added, “Perhaps nothing wrong with that, just perhaps. But imagine if Ebe Nana Addo? Just imagine 😳
I have said it, the time we realised that, this government is taking numerous advantages of our goodwill nu na akakyire. Yooo”
