Reggae musician and radio presenter, Black Rasta has lamented the deteriorating condition of the economy under Akufo Addo’s administration.
Black Rasta predicted that the Ghana cedi will become a ‘toilet paper’ by Christmas.
According to him, considering the current hardship in the country which keeps worsening by the day under Akuffo Addo’s administration.
He continued by saying that Ghana must promote a culture of exporting more than importing goods into the country as it is one of the ways of curbing inflation and appreciating the cedi.
“Now, what is the exchange rate between the cedi and the dollar? 9.25. One dollar is equivalent to GHS9.25”, Blakk Rasta said.
“There was a time the Ghana cedi was even more valuable than the dollar. When we had our redenomination, the Ghana cedi became more valuable than the American dollar. Today, the American dollar exchanges 9.25 to the Ghana cedi”, he noted.
“Which company in Ghana produces balloons; common balloons? We import balloons night and day; toothpicks night and day. By Christmas, the Ghana cedi will almost become toilet paper”,
“Christmas is coming, more chicken will be imported into the country. Sometimes, I believe that the chicken that is imported into the country is not fowl. Some of them might be vultures and crows because, for some of them, when you look at the thigh of the ‘chicken’, you want to ask yourself: ‘Eiii, what kind of chicken is this?’”
“And when you look at the beak of the bird, you wonder: ‘What fowl has this kind of mongoloid beak?’ The only thing that has that kind of beak is a vulture.
And, so, they package vultures and crows; sometimes they’ll even package owls and send them to you to eat for Christmas”.
“You are happily eating it … you are eating vulture, crow, and ‘opete’. I wish you a vulture Christmas. I wish you crow Christmas”, Blakk Rasta added.
He said: “If there’s a worse time to be a Ghanaian, this is the time”
