Popular Ghanaian musician, Okyeame Kwame expressed his concerns about the declining state of the economy, coupled with the widespread issue of unemployment, which has driven many citizens to seek opportunities abroad.
He highlighted the high rate of unemployment in the country, where a significant portion of graduates struggle to find readily available jobs after completing their education.
This, according to him, has become a major factor pushing people to emigrate in search of better prospects.
The musician placed some of the blame on Ghanaians themselves, citing a strong preference for white-collar jobs, which are limited in the country.
He emphasized that many are unwilling to pursue technical and vocational careers that offer more immediate opportunities in Ghana.
“I feel there is hardship in the country. They don’t have a choice, where would they work? So I feel that we’ve faltered somewhere.”
