  • Cedi depreciation: ‘Did we die and wake up in hell?’ – Efia Odo asks

    Actress and model, Efia Odo, is concerned about the continued depreciation of the Ghana cedi.

    She joined a long list of showbiz personalities lamenting the rate at which the cedi is losing grounds against the United States dollar.

    In an October 20, 2022 tweet, at the time forex bureaus were reporting that a dollar had reached a record 13 Ghana cedi mark, Efia posed a rhetorical question on her timeline.

    “$1=13 Cedis. Did we die and wake up in hell?” she asked.

    She joins the likes of actresses Lydia Forson and Yvonne Nelson in calling out the government over the cedi depreciation.

    Actor Prince David Osei has also threatened a protest amid calls for the government to fix the economy. On her part, broadcaster Nana Aba Anamoah published an open letter on the economy among others, calling on Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta to resign.

    The economy is facing major headwinds that have been characterized by galloping inflation, consistent depreciation of the cedi and general high cost of living and of doing business.

    The government is hoping to reach a deal with the International Monetary Fund, IMF, for an economic support programme aimed at shoring up the economy and easing the burden on ordinary Ghanaians.

  • Let’s put aside politics and save the cedi – Prince David Osei begs

    Actor Prince David Osei has once again called on Ghanaians to come together and save the country amidst the current economic crisis and the cedi’s poor performance against the dollar.

    Prince who campaigned for the sitting president and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) during the 2020 presidential elections has pleaded with citizens to put aside their political difference and suggest “ideas or in-depth knowledge on how to stop the further depreciation of our currency and stabilize our economy”.

    He maintained that he will speak against negative moves by the NPP although he campaigned for them.

    His tweet dated October 18, 2022 read: “Can we all put aside politics, humble ourselves and seek help from whoever has the ideas or in-depth knowledge on how [to] stop the further depreciation of our currency and stabilize our economy… Because at this point it’s all-inclusive.”

     

    His call comes after he proposed a demonstration to register citizens’ displeasure against the government’s poor management of the country.

    The statement was, however, shot down by a section of Twitter users who instead called him out for campaigning for the political party that has been blamed for the nation’s woes.

    Unperturbed by the backlash, the actor admonished such persons to have a “change of mindset”.

    “There is a country I know in Africa, if you speak positivity and try as much as possible to be honest they don’t like it, but if you speak tomfoolery, full of negativity and insults you will be glorified as a hero! How pathetic for such a nation… Folks need a change of mindset,” he said.

  • Are you now regretting it? – Victoria Lebene takes a dig at Prince David Osei

    Popular Ghanaian actress cum entrepreneur, Victoria Lebene, has joined the tall list of individuals criticizing actor Prince David Osei following his intentions to stage a protest against the current NPP government.

    Prince David Osei, who has been actively supporting the NPP, threatened to organize a demonstration in December if the economic situation in the country does not improve.

    “I decided to give you and your government the benefit of the doubt. I reckon I was wrong! The youth of this nation are not smiling. It pours, but we are still sweating. If things don’t change by December, we will mobilize the youth of this country and hit the streets irrespective of party affiliations, whether NPP, NDC, CQQ PNC whatever, doesn’t matter now, we are all in this together”, portions of his statement on social media read.

    Following his assertions, some critics have recalled a point in time where he asked the Ghanaian youth to fix themselves when they were calling on the government to fix the country.

    According to them, the actor is now feeling the pinch of the economy, hence the change in his perspective, in line with that of majority of the youth.

    Victoria Lebene, who sides with their assertion, has also taken a dig at the actor.

    In response to David Osei’s claim, Lebene asked;

    “Look at who campaigned passionately for the reigning party. Are you now regretting?” she posted.
