Actress Juliet Ibrahim has decried the high cost of life in Ghana, claiming that it is more expensive than in Nigeria.
Juliet compared the costs of life in Ghana to those in Nigeria, owing to Ghana’s current spike in fuel prices.
On Tuesday, she asked on Twitter if anyone in Nigeria spends 72,000 Naira (GH1400), or 72,000 Naira each week, on fuel.
She said that her monthly fuel spending was higher than that of the United States, and that Ghana is currently the “most expensive West African country.”
