Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa is the Minister of Foreign Affairs
so those of us who live and work here for years, paying taxes, struggling with trotro, light off, etc., still contributing our quota have to struggle every year with foreign ID card, pay loads of money for resident permit, but a social media influencer breezes in and boom!

This is how soft power is done.
Culture, influence, and identity meeting policy. Ghana welcoming IShowSpeed while celebrating creators like you shows we understand the power of storytelling in nation-building.
For God, Country & Continent, indeed. Africa is branding itself,…— DeLightBringer Kiko ☀️ (@KSnetne) January 27, 2026
This is a good gesture. Extremely Brilliant. Before the Nigerians claim him. They steal everything from Ghana and make it their own anyways.

Honestly, I did not want to say anything but let me draw your attention to this Okudzeto, you might think handing him a passport is a step in the right direction but trust me it’s so lame.
Wode Maya has been too America and various countries, when did you ever hear them hand…

When culture, identity and polished brand meets policy, diplomacy and governance. Thanks Hon. SOA for this timely policy decision that will spur the tourism of Ghana and that of Africa to the global stage. Governance should be this soft, easy and effervescent.
