We work hard in Ghana just to be able to afford waakye – Efia Odo laments

Efia Odo, a socialite and actress from Ghana, has brought attention to the difficult living conditions faced by many Ghanaians and shed light on the reality of a large percentage of the workforce living paycheck to paycheck.

The actress refuted the notion that young people in Ghana are sluggish in an exclusive interview with Accra-based TV3, highlighting that difficulties with saving for the future are caused by the unfavorable economic conditions present in the nation.

“We are not lazy; we work tirelessly just to earn a few coins. There's no prospect for the future. Here, we are merely working to afford a meal of waakye. The thought of buying a house or a car is a distant dream. It's always about what we'll eat today and tomorrow, and that's a significant issue,” Efia Odo explained.

When probed about her contributions to improve Ghana's situation, she unveiled her plans to collaborate with others to offer support and empowerment to the country's youth.

“I don't like talking too much about what I am coming to do. I want to work with other people to bring about change for the youth,” she stressed, underscoring her dedication to being part of a collective effort to address the challenges confronting the younger generation.

Efia Odo has recently garnered praise for her participation in efforts to advocate for better living conditions in Ghana. She stood alongside the organizers of the #OccupyJulorbi demonstration, a three-day protest against the hardships experienced in the country.

Her words bring attention to the real economic struggles faced by many Ghanaians, highlighting the urgency for collective action to address these challenges and create a more prosperous future for the country's youth.
