Renowned media figure Serwaa Amihere recently ignited a heated discussion among Ghana’s youth. Voicing her strong opinions, Amihere suggested that young individuals earning at least GH¢5,000 should reconsider leaving Ghana too soon.
Her message, primarily directed at the younger generation, stirred a range of responses. Many young Ghanaians took to the comments section, expressing both support and opposition to her viewpoint.
Proponents of Amihere’s stance believe that remaining in Ghana offers young people a chance to actively participate in the nation’s growth. They argue that with a substantial income, it’s possible to enjoy a quality life within Ghana’s borders.
Conversely, critics of Amihere highlighted the pressing challenges faced by Ghana’s youth, including unemployment, subpar infrastructure, and soaring living costs. They contend that these hardships often drive young individuals to seek better opportunities overseas.
“I think if you are in your 20s and 30s and earning at least, GH¢5,000 and above, you shouldn’t rush to leave Ghana. It’s not all that rosy out there, she said.”
