Ghanaian actress and movie producer Fella Makafui squashed rumors of emigration during a recent interview on TV3’s The Day Show. Makafui expressed her unwavering love for Ghana, despite a recent rise in Ghanaian visa applications for foreign countries.

“I like Ghana,” she affirmed. “If I go anywhere, I’ll come back to Ghana. Why should I relocate?”

Makafui painted a positive picture of opportunities in Ghana, emphasizing the potential for financial success. She acknowledged the country’s shortcomings, including its inconsistent electricity supply, but assured viewers that these hurdles are surmountable.

Makafui’s comments align with a growing chorus of Ghanaian celebrities encouraging citizens to stay and pursue their dreams within the country. They emphasize that success is achievable despite the lack of immediate support, and that initiative often leads to finding help along the way.

Makafui’s interview comes amid an ongoing conversation about the exodus of Ghanaian citizens seeking opportunities abroad. Her message of hope and perseverance serves as a counterpoint to this narrative, highlighting the potential for prosperity within Ghana.
