Through a post on Instagram, renowned Ghanaian actor Prince David Osei urged the country's young to join him and others in December for a protest in Accra against the government's callous treatment of the nation's failing economy.
He said " Mr President! with all due respect Mr President, why are you sleeping on Ghanaians. This is not acceptable Mr President? we deserve better. we know there are global crisis and hardship. Yes we know! But looks like you and your ministers are determined to inflict untoward hardship to the citizenry. 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're still sweating. If things don't change by December, we will mobilize the youth of this country and hit the street irrespective of party affiliation, whether NPP, NDC, CQQ, PNC whatever, doesn't matter now . we are all in this together . God bless our homeland Ghana ??. we want to see improvement in our livelihoods....if you have to sack some people do it without fear or favor because your legacy is on the line Sir!! "
Despite the fact that he risked his acting career to make a strong case for the government, other people supported him and congratulated him for speaking out against it. Others disagreed with him, nevertheless, for the reason that he advised Ghanaian young to "FIX YOURSELVES" instead of "FIX THE COUNTRY" in response to their request .
Personally, I believe we should back him in this because, in the end, it will benefit both our lives and our beloved nation. We cannot continue to act as though everything in Ghana is fine. Living in Ghana is akin to living in Hell, and if we don't speak up and voice our complaints, we'll be stuck there till God knows when. We all witnessed the fallout from the President's speech at the Global Citizens Festivals on September 24 in Accra, which conveyed a strong message.
