Juliet Ibrahim, a popular Ghanaian actress, has taken to social media to express her displeasure with Ghana’s high cost of living.
According to the 36-year-old movie star, who took to Twitter to express her displeasure, Ghana is currently the most expensive country to live in West Africa due to exorbitant petrol prices.
She stated that even though the entire world is in a global recession, Ghana has been hit the hardest by the economic crisis.
Juliet tweeted,
“Ghana is officially the most expensive West African country right now! No joke!
Someone driving a car of 3.0 / 3.5 fills their fuel tank to use within 5-7 days with fuel worth 1300/1400 cedis.
Currently, $100 = 1,400 cedis
Even in USA, to fuel the same type of car can and will NEVER cost that much!
Yet we are all going through the same economic crisis.”
On the other hand, some Nigerians chastised her for claiming Ghana is the most expensive country in West Africa, despite the fact that their countrypeople are also affected by the economic downturn. In response to the comments, Juliet stated that Ghanaians are the most affected.
She wrote,
“$100 = 1400 cedis
1400 cedis = 72,000 Naira
Is there any Nigerian on my timeline that spends 72,000 Naira to fuel his car and use for a period of 5-7 days?
Let’s have this discussion and make it make sense to me oo…
I pray we all can survive this and double up our hustle oo. Because looks like things aren’t going to go back to normal. This is the time to strategize and focus on multiple streams of income…
We need to double our hustle very well… God help us all as we adjust to the new standards of living. ?? #adulthoodnascam ??♀️”
