Ghana ranked 8th richest in Africa
Some rejoice over Ghana's position in latest ranking
Lydia Forson slams bootlickers
Actress Lydia Forson has without equivocation expressed dissatisfaction with how some people are boasting about Ghana’s ‘8th richest country in Africa’ position when the same people assert that the country is poor.
Ghana has been ranked the eighth richest country on the African continent with Nigeria occupying the first spot, according to a report published in worldpopulationreview.com.
The publication said Ghana’s economy, as of the end of 2021, was valued at US$74.26 billion, putting it ahead of Côte d’Ivoire and Angola whose economies were valued at US$70.99 billion and US$66.49 billion respectively.
The report has evoked reactions from different quarters with some touting the government for improving the Ghanaian economy.
Reacting to the development, Lydia Forson in a tweet could not fathom why anyone would take pride in ranking when the narrative has been that the country is in economic crisis.
“What’s infuriating about how bad things are right now, is the stupid propaganda they continue to spew. How do you claim we’re so poor but on the other hand boast about being the 8th richest country in Africa. You people are mad,” her tweet read.

all you ***barred word*** foot soldiers blinded with ***barred word*** still defending ***barred word*** should wake up what has this ***barred word*** ranking got to do with reality? equatorial guinea is a rich country but its citizens are poor due to bad leadership...all these economic jargon ( gdp data) are are ***barred word*** when it opposite the real situation we have everything but we borrow from countries with just rivers and mountains and wallow in this npp and ndc ***barred word*** that has held us back...so cant we have real sensible Ghanaians who can read between the lines?....GOD SAVE GHANA
Madam, you don't know much about economics so stop your arguments. This economic downturn has affected every country in the world. The report is taking about 2021 so don't use the just recent abnormal increases in prices in Ghana which is bringing hardships to rubbish the report . If you think Ghana is poor, some are poorer
These social media too known personalities must try to educate themselves before talking about issues they do not understand. Nigeria in terms of GDP is far richer than Ghana but yet have more people than Ghana. They talk anyhow without understanding of issues.
Dumbbb bches acting like the know shyt, the ranking was based on GDP. The United States has people with worse living conditions than Ghana and yet they are the richest country in the world. F is you talking abt.
