Veteran Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, was in Ghana for the All Africa Music Awards 2018.
So she had some super nice experiences and it appears she wish to be a Ghanaian.
Omotola noted that our Ghanaian Cedis has more weight than their Naira. Narrating her experience, the screen icon said she changed 10,000 Naira upon getting to Ghana and all they gave her was GHC120.
That’s to mean that the cedis possess more value than the Naira because to her, the Cedis didn’t even last before it vanished from her hands.
Speaking further, the actress talked about our newly built Kotoka International Airport, Terminal 3. She narrated that she forgot her two phones while signing immigration cards.
To her surprise announcement was made and she was made to pick up the phone at guest services.
Meaning to her if it were to be at a Nigerian airport, that would mean her phones are lost and lost forever.
Read her full statement below:
“Okay… So Economists, come and analyze oh… this Amongst other things was quite alarming on my trip to Ghana. Hmm… I changed N10,000 (Ten thousand Naira) and it was only worth ….. C120 ( One hundred and twenty cedis) Not C1,200 and certainly not 12,000 cedis but a mere 120 cedis!!! 1 dollar in Ghana is 4.8 cedis! #Ghanamustgo and they have Gone, are they moving faster than us? I don’t want to talk about the airport, Tubaba has already talked about that but I forgot both my phones while signing the immigration cards, about 10mins later, it was announced to pick them up at guest services! Ha! # GiantofAfrica? #Getbusy #Getbusy #Getbusy. Abi? I’m I missing something? ”

Massa just get a life wai, SHS is one of the greatest things any gov't could give to his people.
You are a bloody 1air, what was the rate of inflation when the incompetent one John Mahama was in gov't?? stop 1ying. Ghana now is been role by competent gov't with one of the best Finance Minister we ever has in GH Mr. Ken Ofori Atta and an Incorruptible hard working President and his Competent Veep.

All these were achieved by someone the opposition branded as incompetent and we also erroneously bought into it. Not knowing, all that they said was done in envy and padded with l i e s. Now the incompetent team has turned everything upside down. After borrowing 50 Billion Cedis, they have nothing to show. The harm has been done. We are just counting the days, months and years for December 2020 to come.
Good to hear this, yet our very own are calling this mother land Ghana a village. they don't see anything good in what we have because they are blind. let those who see well keep telling the noise makers that Ghana is gradually developing by the grace of God and we shall get there Amen.
What sells Ghana to the outside world is Infrastructure and not Free SHS. Investing in infrastructure is key to our development not Free SHS. Develop d economy and we and afford everything we need.
Thanks John Mahama, we shall forever remember u for the Airport and other such infrastructure.
Let invest in our schools the legon,kunst, ashesi all this bring foreign exchange. Let upgrade legon teaching hospital , tamale teaching hospital and building specialist hospital at aburi wit the scenery serving as therapy and not far from the legon teaching hospital for medical tourism. Let concentrate most of tourism resources on the beaches ada , busea , axim ,around volta river thus the volta hotel to sanchi stretch good roads and security etc and in the north the elephant sanctuary ,and market it ,on Facebook and holiday and hotel booking sites.Let encourage Ghanaians to take holiday with the government giving coupons esp those who pay good taxes and those have consistent tax payers.At least a Ghanaian couple having worked 5 years continuous and paid taxes can be entitled to a family weekend vacation with Gh 500 subsidy in Ghana,it will indirectly build up interest.
BEAUTY QUEEN OF THE SCREEN MS OMOTOLA THANKS FOR APRRECIATING GHANA. STAY BLESS
speeches like this make me proud as a Ghanaian, not the necessarily good for nothing politics the media pollute the airwaves in the morning
