View this post on Instagram A post shared by 🆄🆃🆅 🅶🅷🅰🅽🅰 (@utvghana)The Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has commented on the debate regarding the value of being a Ghanaian PhD holder versus being a holder of a Dutch passport. Background:Academics in Ghana became enraged after a Ghanaian-Netherlands citizen claimed that his Dutch passport offers more opportunities than a Ghanaian PhD. According to the man, who is known as Mr. Happiness, the opportunities available to him as a Dutch citizen surpass those a Ghanaian PhD can offer to anyone. He argued that he can easily obtain a visa to the United States of America just because he has a Netherlands passport; something a PhD holder in Ghana cannot do. Another senior government official, Sandra Ewool, said, "Dutch passport mpo nie, na America passport deɛ, they weeeeeee press press our necks here..."Several other comments do not agree with the claim that a Netherlands passport offers opportunities that a Ghanaian PhD cannot offer.
