Renowned gospel musician Ceccy Twum has voiced her profound concern regarding the challenging living conditions many Ghanaians are enduring, declaring that the nation feels like “hell” due to systemic failures.
In an interview with Accra FM, Ceccy Twum highlighted that while the world is facing difficulties, the situation in Ghana is particularly alarming. She emphasized that without a functioning system to support its citizens, individuals are compelled to struggle for their survival, risking the well-being of their families.
“The world is not easy right now. It takes extra effort to make it, else your family will suffer and you will retrogress. If the system is working, the poverty and hardship can be controlled, but if you live in a country without a proper system, you need to fight for yourself,” she explained.
Reflecting on her first visit to the UK, Twum shared how she was emotionally affected by the organized and disciplined public transport system there. “The bus system and the laws guiding them were disciplined. I wish Ghana could tap into its natural resources and develop the country instead of always relying on loans,” she noted.
Twum called for better management of Ghana’s natural resources to stimulate development and progress, stressing that the current state of affairs is hindering the country’s potential.
In a poignant conclusion, she made a heartfelt plea for divine intervention, humorously stating, “God shouldn’t punish Ghanaians with hell because we are already in hell. That would be double punishment.”
