Current economic hardships making Ghanaians ditch PhDs for Dutch Passport – Obibini

Obibini Obibini

Former President John Dramani Mahama recently said the Dutch Passport or PhD debate is mostly influenced by the current economic crisis, and Obibini has agreed with him.

The rapper said the current woeful and pathetic economic conditions Ghanaians are going through under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo make most people not feel proud to stay in the country.

He stated on Cape Coast-based Property FM, "Someone will proudly say that they'll take a Dutch passport over a Ghanaian PhD because of the hardships we are going through, and you can't lie; it's a fact.

"I'm not going to lie to you about the current conditions of Ghanaians, which are very woeful and pathetic, making most people not feel proud of staying in our country.

"But rather, we want somebody's country because when you go there, they respect your labour, they don't cheat you, and you're paid according to the number of hours that you work," he observed.

"So in about 12 months, you have something solid you can look at and say that you've not wasted the year, but per our economic woes, it'll depend because others are making it big here as well.

He added, "The person making it here might not need a Dutch passport, but someone else needs it to work abroad to build properties here in Ghana. God blesses people in so many ways."
