In a video that has gone viral on X, a soldier, commonly referred to in Ghana as ‘Aban’, is seen holding a large amount of cash, which many netizens believe to be around GHC80,000. In the video, the soldier makes a statement about how difficult it is for anyone to earn such a huge sum of money. He goes on to say that what he has is “normal” and expresses his gratitude by thanking God.
The video quickly caught the attention of many online, leading to a heated debate among viewers. Some people immediately jumped to conclusions, suggesting that the money might be “galamsey money,” which refers to profits from illegal mining activities that have been a major issue in Ghana.
However, not everyone agreed with this assumption. Many viewers pushed back against the idea that the soldier’s money came from illegal sources. A netizen asked, “Why is everyone saying galamsey money? Is galamsey the only way to make money? Don’t be hypocrites?”
In addition to the debates about the source of the money, many viewers expressed disappointment in a member of the security forces being associated with such a situation. Some netizens voiced their concerns, stating that the soldier’s behavior could lead to dire consequences, a netizen said, “He’ll soon be fired.”
