Ghanian Actress, Juliet Ibrahim, has lamented the increase in the standard of living globally, especially, in Ghana where the actress resides, even as she advises multiple streams of income for survival.
She poured out her heart over the alarming cost of fueling her car in Ghana via her Twitter handle on Tuesday, as she gives a breakdown of how much she spends on fueling in a week.
She lamented using N72,000 worth of fuel on her of 3.0/3.5 capacity, for 5 to 7 days. Adding that even in US and Nigeria they don’t spend that much to fuel a car in a week.
She tweeted, “Ghana is officially the most expensive West African country right now! No joke!”
“Someone driving a car of 3.0 / 3.5 fills their fuel tank to use within 5-7 days with fuel worth 1300/1400 cedis.
Currently, $100 = 1,400 cedis,
“Even in USA, to fuel the same type of car can and will NEVER cost that much!
Yet we are all going through the same economic crisis.
“$100 = 1400 cedis
1400 cedis = 72,000 Naira
“Is there any Nigerian on my timeline that spends 72,000 Naira to fuel his car and use for a period of 5-7 days? Let’s have this discussion and make it make sense to me oo.”
The Nollywood actress noted that her tweet was not politically inspired, only for people to share their concerns to help them feel better.
“I pray we all can survive this and double up our hustle oo. Because looks like things aren’t going to go back to normal. This is the time to strategize and focus on multiple streams of income”
“We need to double our hustle very well… God help us all as we adjust to the new standards of living. 🙏💪 #adulthoodnascam 😢🤦♀️”, she added.
