Why Ghanaians Are Always Broke

Some moments ago, I was thinking why Ghanaians are always broke (don't have money). First I thought it was the economy but upon spiritual and intellectual research in my bedroom, I realised we are our own problem.

We like show......eeeeiiii..... Ghanaians and showing off, like Mahama and Bawumia.

These are some reasons we are always broke:

1. Funeral Announcements on TV and RADIO

This is a common tradition which existed before the coming of modern media. We announce the death of people to inform those who ain't aware.

Now the new trend is adding the profession of the children and siblings. Imagine if all the children are in Europe or are big people. People will definitely throng to the place cos there's food. In the end there's either over-production of food or shortage of food and people will fight for nothing.

At the end of the day, you feed a multitude and go broke.

2. SAVE THE DATE

Save the date fuor.... By force reminders. Young men and ladies these days like announcing their weddings on social media.

They want the numbers so they announce it on social media and people will come and eat and go free.

Meanwhile, these people only put ¢1 in the offering bowl. Smh.......¢1 can't even buy beans.

Why won't you go broke after your wedding?

3. PRE-BIRTHDAY PHOTOSHOOT

This one is a sickness mostly with most Ghanaian girls. They always don't have money but are taking pre-birthday shoots. 'then it will do what?' 

The pictures become useless after the very day they're used. Then they go broke again. Those who don't pay either have their boyfriends as photographers or are taking advantage of some guy who has feelings for them.

Annoyingly they'd come and ask you for pizza as if you made them broke.

4. SUPABET & SIBLINGS

The people I pity most in this category are Arsenal Fans. Eeeiiii...... For how long are you going to succumb to peer pressure and be betting?

Real Madrid fans have even learnt their lessons. Some people have been betting since Adam yet are not winning anything. I wonder what these people actually eat when they are going to stake their bets.

What am I trying to put across?

Day in day out, things get expensive and we complain accusing the government. Meanwhile we could always keep it simple.

Funerals can be done strictly by invite. To reduce the cost of spending on food. In this era of technology, there's no need even printing tribute books.

Weddings should be strictly by invitation. Invite those who really matter to you. After all, it's your marriage. Whether big or small wedding, it's your marriage which matters.

You can always do without the pre-birthday photoshoots and your birthday will still be the same. You won't die. What at all do you get? Just some lazy People typing 'hbd'. Nothing better.

You can always support a club without betting. Even footballers of these teams are not encouraged to bet. Be wise ooo......

Let's try to be economical. Show off is good ooo but you show off according to your pocket.
