  1. I'm Ghanaian and live in Ghana. Let me explain.
    Most of what you hear and read about Ghana is just very good social media propaganda. Most YouTubers talking well about Ghana only do it for the views, most infrustructure that they praise Ghana for are actually not being built and will never be built. YouTubers make Ghana look better than it actually is.

    We spend more than we are able to generate through tax revenue.
    The government then tried to increase revenue by increasing taxes, and the e-Levy tax is now killing a lot of small scale start-ups and Fintech businesses. Today 5th July, IMF officials will land in Accra so our Government can start the negotiations for debt relief.

    Ghana has been spending money even before they earn it. We always borrow money for everything, and by 2035, our tax revenue will not be enough to pay our own governments workers, we will have to borrow that one too from WESTERN countries.
