Juliet Ibrahim, an actress, has passionately bemoaned Ghana’s economic predicament, which she claims is out of control.
According to the Liberian actress who lives in Ghana, it is currently the most costly nation in West Africa.
The actress claimed in a series of tweets that fuel price increases have reached a point where people are being hit with exorbitant increases. She added that a tank currently costs about $100, or GHC 1,400, to fill up, and lasts only 5-7 days.
“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”, she said.
“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. $100 = 1400 cedis”, she stressed.
“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,” she stated.

She did, however, establish that Ghanaians must turn to numerous sources of income if the problem is to be somewhat alleviated.
“I hope that everyone will make it through this and step up their hustle. Because it appears like nothing will return to normal. She prayed, “Now is the time to plan and concentrate on several streams of income.
Meanwhile, an increasing number of famous Ghanaians have lamented the exorbitant expense of life in the nation.
The government has received criticism from certain celebrities who supported the ruling NPP during the 2020 general elections for the country’s worsening economic conditions, it is true.
