Ghana's 2024 Elections - Matters Arising: Dr. Bawumia's Speech Part 1
lets be mindful, Mr Happyness is not married, he did not get his passport by virtue of marriage or fathering a dutch child. He applied for Dutch citizenship and got his citizenship.
It is not enough to run away from the troubles in your country and chase citizenship in a foreign country while denigrating its educational credentials. If the citizens of the Netherlands had run away from their problems in the past, would he have gotten that passport to be boasting about? We Ghanaians and Nigerians want a better country but don't want to be part of the building process. We are so self-loving and self-centered, just like our political leaders. The true Africans are the youth in Kenya who are fighting to build the only country they have. They are not denigrating Kenya because of a mere passport. Why are we making ourselves so cheap?
Guys are you not Ghanians, that's my first question , when you talk about Ghanians we are the worst wicked people across the globe, people that sell their friends, wife, husband , sons and daughters for money, everyone is for money money money and don't care about anyone else, look at ❓ so call radio stations are asking Nana Kwame bediako because he said he stands as presidential candidate which doesn't make sense
So guys are you agree with Nana Kwame bediako in coming president of Ghana the visioner and solutioner and business man
Ghana as a country need to be serious and take pragmatic approach in dealing with issues. Our leaders are jokers that is why we are where we are now. I do not blame the young man for what he said. He is speaking from what he has experienced. I like the way you guys are deliberating on the topic. Kudos.
Thanks for your input
Having a Dutch passport may open many doors, but it won't change the fact that he remains a janitor. While a Dutch passport can contribute to one's opportunities, Ghanaian PhD holders directly or indirectly train professionals such as medical doctors, lawyers, engineers, pharmacists, and nurses. One crucial point we often overlook is that a cleaner will have a lower standard of living regardless of location. A PhD holder living and working in Ghana will undoubtedly have a higher standard of living than a toilet cleaner in America.
Thanks for your input. Keep them coming!
as a kenyan KUDOS to our Ghanian brother, but please dont leave the dutch woman who made this possible
Lol.
He did not get his citizenship because of a dutch woman, his girlfriend is from Romania
she got the citizenship first, and he go his by marrying him mumu
He is talking about the standard of living! Period! Our leaders should be serious and help the youth in this country called Ghana 😢
True. The leaders and we the citizens as well need to step up. But yes, it starts at the top. Big changes needed!
It's PHD in Ghana not PHD in any other countries please!
This session was educative and fun. Keep it up guys
Glad you enjoyed it!
Masa phd holders in Ghana are not helping in Ghana. We have dumsor in Ghana whilst there phd holders in engineering. What’s the essence of the phd?
You guys are very intelligent. Good analysis
Thank you!
African speak big English but we are pool we don't manufacture anything
Bad economy, bad infrastructure, bad unemployment , bad health care, bad education system. Where are the problem solvers who pride themselves as highly educated??
Hopefully we can all rise and contribute our quota.
You can’t defend the indefensible. The truth is only one and one only. Dutch passport all the way!!
Lol
There is no dumsor abroad because their ph.ds and scientists are working 24/7. Why can’t the ph.ds in GH fix dumsor??
since post independence GH what opportunities have GH given to the youth besides unemployment??
The differences make his statement the truth. Why can’t you guys accept it??
Mr happiness is an educated guy. He is demonstrating how the Dutch passport will open a sea of opportunities to him , his family and legacy . The opportunities in Dutch land for him are endless!!
How many ph.d holders in GH make $5 an hour??
This guy was only speaking his mind and expressing how grateful he were for how easy his trip was made bcos of his passport. How many PhD holders in Ghana are proud of their living conditions in Ghana.
Hmmm
He says Phd in Ghana universities and so please don't generalize it by saying Ph.D. and thank God the guy didn't say PhD in India
Why don't we speak the truth as humans at least, for once in life??? Just also, to awake the minds of our leaders with the Shea butter orientations in this 21st Century of today!!! Let us ginger this discourse to the highest core today, tomorrow and always! The systems in Ghana are sick and we must be equally sick and tired of all that under review! This is an unfortunate analysis but must not be ignored!
We thought we were nuanced enough. Gave arguments for both sides. You don’t agree?
❤😂😂😅😅
The guy is 100% right. The point is that why is the PHD holder making so little and may not be able to build a home for his country. Corruption is the biggest problem and if it is not stopped, the country will continue to go downhill no matter how many PHDs we have. In China, Singapor, South Korea, and most countries that have risen from poverty to riches you are put to death if you cause financial loss to the country including corruption. In Ghana nothing happens to you and that is affecting the country and causing the PHD holder to be jobless or poor. We need to have very serious laws against corruption and people have to lose all assets including families assets when caught.
Interesting conversation but tell your PhD guy to chill 😅😅. Research works by PhD holders in Ghana are thrown away, Ghanaians who had their PhD in Belarus, Hungary, Slovenia etc are even more respected than those who had theirs in KNUST, LEGON or UCC. I bet your guy won't think twice when the US government makes him an offer to take his PhD cert and give him a US passport 😂😂😂😂 MOST Ghanaians studying in the US and Europe have the hope of acquiring documentations in the long run, the education is just to make it easier 😅😅😅
Boys Dey talk. Lol
There were bus assembling plants in Ghana . One was in Accra and the other was in Kumasi . These 2 companies were manufacturing buses for Ghana govt for public transportation . ie OSA . Ex President Acheampong ( not a PHD holder ) made an agreement with govt of Germany to assemble the buses in Ghana . President Hillar Liman ( PHD holder ) started buying TATA buses from India to replace the OSA buses . Neoplan started to collapse because the govt did not buy buses for OSA but TATA buses . Neoplan laid of many workers in Ghana causing more unemployment in the country . Look at how the PHD holders caused unemployement by choosing to buy TATA buses from India . Even a non PHD holder knows that when you buy made in Ghana goods also creat employment in Ghana .
No matter how you flip Mr Happiness statement , you can not despute him . He is 100% right . University graduates in Europe are running their country very well but those in Ghana are failing . Some went to Yale , Harvard , Oxford and etc with the white people but the whites are doing far better than Ghanaians . What is wrong with Ghana ? If you are a PHD holder in law or economics but you can not apply it for the people to feel good , then your education is meanjngless .
Kofi happiness you made my day.
Stronger Economy means Stronger Passport thanks
Oh Ghana, so fellow Ghanaians there is nothing more important discuss than Big Zombie did he knew the important of education this is character of some Ghanaians especially Akans man Economy means Stronger Pastport peroid
Biniman for the win 🤣😅😂😂🔥🔥
The guy with red shirt fool rough ,nederlands PhD holders are playing for their citizens to enjoy life and what about Ghana PhD holders to their citizens
Dutch passport is better than a PHD holder from Ghana and living in Ghana. go sit down
At least the PHD stuff is doing it purpose, stirring conversation: the leaders should provide the basic things for the people.
It pains me people don't understand the statement made by Dr Bawumia. Imagine the developed countries without residence permits? It is the basic system on which the country will develop. It will generate revenue, reduce corruption, and create jobs. I can debate you on this the whole day. I like your conversation though, keep it up.
Thanks for your comment. We agree with most of what you’ve said here. We also think basic infrastructure is very important to drive productivity. Additionally, the resident permits should be integrated with the relevant systems so that the full benefits can be attained. It’s still early in its use so there will be teething pains. Ultimately, we hope all of these will come together nicely for the benefit of Ghana.
He is not married
You guys are not making it especially the one saying lowest of the low. That's Ghanaian thinking. Who said it's lowest of the low. The guys income is more that what a PhD holder earns in Ghana if not corruption some of them do
I think you misunderstood that point which we tried to make very respectfully. Cleaners are not considered to be upper class or even middle class in most countries. We’re saying that the cleaner in Netherlands has access to certain basic things which make life bearable. If Ghana can replicate that for all its citizens we’ll be the better for it.
A Dutch passport offers you more opportunities at a better life than a PHD from Ghana on a Ghanaian Passport. Take it or leave it
Thanks for your perspective
A Ghanaian PhD is limited to Ghana and a few African countries. Your Ghanaian PhD may not be recognized in the US, UK etc You may have to go to school again in the US and other European countries before getting a job.
great content, guys. u dey force waa. intellectual, funny, and educative conversations. love this. tiktok might give you more exposure as well.
Glad you found it intellectual, funny and educative. That’s what we aim to do. 😀
Ghanaians are angry because we put so much weight on academic credentials, meanwhilst those certificates have not been able to chamge their economic situations for them.
Until we make our country better, what he is saying is fact. Mr. Red, you can be pained but the Cleaner there is better than a PhD holder in Ghana, Most of the successful PhD holders in Ghana are Thieves...

I have downloaded the app but I can't see the interface you guys used in this video....how do I get that?
It’s hard to see what interface you are seeing and how we can help in the comments section. However, if you go to 37:20 in the video maybe you can see the particular app we downloaded for the demonstration
Please send us links to the app and platforms
We displayed the app in the video. It’s called “Khaya” on AppStore and Playstore
Very impressive! Any plans on writing and publishing a paper in a Journal on this? There, the team can put the performance metrics side by side with other commercial or open source ventures with regard to low resourced languages. Also, this team knows more than I do but did the team try any data augmentation methods to boost the ‘low resource’, and what were some of the challenges with that? I wish this went on for two hours! Great episode!
Certainly great questions! While the team has a few papers out, we’re yet to see one specifically on their translation work and how it compares with other models. Hopefully one will come out soon. On data augmentation, I suppose it’d be helpful to have a base model that’s at least capable on some level to even generate useful synthetic data. Even with that, they’d still need a decent amount of natural data which I believe is the team’s focus at this point. We certainly enjoyed this as well as you did and we plan to bring them back on soon!
