One cement bag was sold for Gh¢25 but your father couldn’t build a house- NPP fan blasts Ghanaians
News Hub Creator3h
A supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has sparked controversy with a blunt remark aimed at Ghanaians, stating, “One cement bag was sold for 25gh during Mahama’s time, but your father couldn’t build a house.” This provocative comment has generated intense debate on social media, with some viewing it as a harsh reality check and others condemning it as insensitive and disrespectful ¹.
The remark appears to criticize Ghanaians for not taking advantage of supposedly favorable economic conditions during former President Mahama’s tenure, which ended in 2020. However, many have pushed back, citing various reasons why the cost of cement alone does not guarantee affordable housing. They argue that other factors like labor costs, land prices, and regulatory fees also play a significant role in determining the affordability of building a house.
The debate has been heating up on social media, with some defending the remark as a necessary wake-up call, while others see it as a politically motivated attack. Some have also pointed out that the NPP’s economic policies have led to increased poverty and unemployment, making it difficult for people to afford basic necessities, let alone build a house.
As the discussion continues, it remains to be seen how this remark will impact the political landscape in Ghana. Will it galvanize support for the NPP or backfire as an insensitive comment? One thing is certain, though – the conversation is heating up, and Ghanaians are eager to have their voices heard.
