Popular and outspoken actress, Lydia Forson has questioned why basic necessities such as rent and cars are difficult to afford, thereby making it a luxury.
According to her, it has become the case that the youth indulge in all sorts of vices including internet fraud and prostitution just to afford such basic necessities of life.
“Girls are doing 'ashawo' (prostitution). Boys are doing fraud. All to afford some small car and rent?! Da fuck???! What country is this that basic things have become a luxury? Shout out to everyone earning an honest living and still struggling to survive- Chale it’s not easy I feel you,” she wrote on Twitter.
Emphasizing that her comments are not in anyway to judge the profession of others, Miss Forson added:
“Look I’m not evening judging all the things girls and even boys are having to do to get by in this country. It’s the reality of where we are now and it’s sad. It’s sad that we live in a country where so many feel like this is their only option.”
The actress also wondered why rent, hotel and other services in the country are priced in dollars.
She said the influx of these foreign currencies looks as though the country currently belongs to foreigners.
“I need to understand what goes into pricing anything in this country and why MOST are priced in dollars. Rent: DOLLARS Hotel: DOLLARS Enjoyment: DOLLARS. It’s almost as if Ghana is not for Ghanaians anymore. “And to afford anything you must earn or be able to pay DOLLARS?!”
It can be recalled that with the #FixTheCountry protest, citizens have bemoaned the high cost of living in the country.
The likes of Yvonne Nelson, Michael Blackson, and many others have criticized the high cost of goods and services in the country.

YOU ARE ANNOYING, FIX YOURSELF, BECAUSE YOU NEED FIXING.
Sorry my friend if you can’t live in the country get your fake diplomatic pass and fly away from Ghana because some of your unchanged attitude has spoiled the country for a very long time and it’s not so easy to fix it but gradually.
Maame Lydia please learn from Ricky Rockstone, he did not sit down waiting for a big music contract. He is doing something to help his family. Also learn from Delay. Find something to do to help yourself and country.Never compare Ghana to America and Europe,we are predominantly a farming country.Our ancestors used it to sustain this country.Technology has been order of the day but we cannot abandon farming and succeed as a country. Maame Lydia sell two of your fleet of cars and invest in farming and you will not regret.Very soon, as human being your body that attract people will begin to shrink there you will see whether you are a celebrity or a normal woman who sells kenkey at Yamoronsa junction.
If they are not actresses, then they are fashion designers, or models, or singers, or pastors, or wannabe youth president. Go work, create jobs, and Fix yourself. Then next time they want to compare Ghana to hardworking America.
My sister who deceived you that cars are basic necessity .Invest in farming also not only in clothes and jewelleries. Did you ever plant maize and did not germinate or planted cocoa and swollen shoot destroyed them? Get yourself something to do and you will be okay.You are not better than the women in Nsawam who make bread and Osino women who make leave kenkey.
i agree with u my sister, and i believe one of the cause of this simple, we in a society here young ladies & gentlemen do not want to work hard but still want to live an expensive life style...between 20 to 27yr old Ghanaian wants to drive, live in two/three bedroom apartment, buy expensive cloths and others whiles haven't worked before n do not also come from any rich homes too. And they re learning from this same politicians, fake pastors, so called celebrities & business moguls so certainly this will be their way out.
Miss Ashaw0 how much do you charge for two rounds? Hope to hear from you.
