In 2016, the phrase, "y3 te sika so nanso 3k)m de y3n" became popular among almost every citizen in Ghana.

This phrase was one of the then flagbearers, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's mantras for campaigning for the 2016 elections.

According to him, Ghana has been blessed with arable lands, minerals, and other resources but the country continues to be poor and dependent on foreign aid.

He attributed the hardships of Ghanaians to bad governance.

Taking to Twitter on October 4, 2016, the President wrote: "Ghanaians have become too miserable under this gov't. We are on a rich land and yet we are poor, all because of bad leadership."

Reacting to the tweet from 7 years ago, Twitter users have shared their "disappointments" with the President's leadership after being in office for 1 and a half terms.
