Kumawood star Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lil Win, has ignited a national conversation after revealing he spent GH¢5,000 on a one-hour round-trip flight within Ghana. The actor is calling on the government to step in and address what he describes as outrageous pricing for domestic air travel.
In a video shared on social media, Lil Win appealed directly to President John Dramani Mahama, urging him to engage with local airlines and push for more affordable ticketing. He cited his recent experience with Passion Air, where he paid GH¢2,500 for a one-way ticket and the same amount for his return — a total that many Ghanaians would find prohibitive.
The actor’s frustration centers on the disconnect between the steep fares and the short duration of the flights. His comments have sparked mixed reactions online, with some users backing his call for reform, while others pointed to inflation, fuel costs, and operational challenges as factors beyond government control.
Lil Win’s outcry adds a celebrity voice to growing public concern over the accessibility of domestic air travel, especially as more Ghanaians rely on flights to avoid poor road conditions and long travel times. Whether his appeal will prompt policy discussions remains to be seen, but the issue is now firmly in the spotlight.
