“We put in a lot of effort in Ghana just to be able to afford waakye,” complains Efia Odo.

Efia Odo, an actress and public figure from Ghana, has brought awareness to the difficult living conditions faced by numerous Ghanaians. She has highlighted the struggle of a significant number of workers in the country who live from one paycheck to another.

During an interview with TV3 in Accra, the actress disputed the belief that young people in Ghana are lazy. She stressed that the difficulties in saving for the future are a result of the country’s unfavorable economic conditions. “We do not have a lazy attitude; we put in continuous effort to earn a small amount of money.”

There is no hope or opportunity for what lies ahead. Here, all our efforts are solely dedicated to earning enough money to be able to buy a waakye meal. The idea of purchasing a house or a car feels like an unreachable aspiration.

Efia Odo clarified that the main concern is always centered around our present and future meals, which is a noteworthy problem. When questioned about her efforts to enhance the state of Ghana, she revealed her intentions to work together with others in providing assistance and empowerment to the young population of the country.

I prefer keeping quiet about my plans and intentions instead of discussing them excessively. She emphasized her desire to collaborate with others in order to initiate positive transformations for young people. This highlights her commitment to actively participating in a group endeavor aimed at tackling the difficulties faced by the youth.

Efia Odo is gaining recognition for her recent involvement in advocating for improved living standards in Ghana. She was by the side of the individuals who planned and coordinated the #OccupyJulorbi protest, a three-day event aimed at expressing grievances about the difficult circumstances faced in the nation.

She emphasizes the actual economic hardships experienced by numerous Ghanaians, underscoring the need for united effort in tackling these issues and forging a brighter future for the young population of the country.
