“PhD or Dutch passport? It’s symptomatic of a failed state. The nation builders, who are supposed to be helping to build the nation are choosing the passports of another country and they are priding themselves in cleaning toilets over PhD. We should bow down our heads in shame. This is not the Ghana Kwame Nkrumah envisaged. This is not the spirit Kwame Nkrumah wanted to develop in Ghanaians that we will be so patriotic and hold our passport with a certain pride,” he said.
This follows Kofi Gabs, a famous Ghanaian social media influencer living in the Netherlands, who earns a living by cleaning toilets and created a major dispute with his remarks made two weeks ago about the importance of education in Ghana.
In a widely shared video, Gabs claimed that his Dutch passport is more useful than a PhD from Ghana.
On TV3’s The Key Points, Prof. Gyampo expressed his displeasure at Ghanaians who have moved abroad seeking better opportunities but are content with doing low-level jobs.
