Michael Blackson, an American comedian and actor of Ghanaian heritage, has taken to Twitter to express his ire at the Ghanaian government for wrecking his financial portfolio.
In a sequence of posts on X, Michael states that he has struggled to recover his investment in Eurobonds, which he bought to operate his school at Agona Nsaba (Michael Blackson Academy).
He claims that he completed the Eurobonds because he believed they would assist in covering the costs of operating the free school he constructed. But he added, “Ghana decided to leave us hanging and use our money to pay their debt to China or whoever.”
His concerns led him to call out the Finance Minister, who he felt was not satisfied with the situation.
Children from kindergarten to Basic 3 can receive free education at the Michael Blackson Academy, which was established three years ago. Additionally, they grant the students free uniforms.
Blackson claims that despite all of these obstacles, he is unwavering in his efforts to keep the school open.
“If it wasn’t for the love and passion I have for the unprivileged youth of Ghana, I would just hand my school to the people and walk away,” he wrote.
