According to Gospel star Ceccy Twum, Ghana has become hell because of the way the country’s systems are ran.

She, thus, prayed God would spare Ghanaians hell in the afterlife.

She spoke to Nana Romeo on Ayekoo Ayekoo on Accra 100.5 FM, Thursday, October 3, 2024.

“It’s an economically tough time, and we will all eventually have a proper feel of it. It’s not an easy time. If you don’t work hard, you and your children will go hungry. So you need to rise daily and make moves,” the singer-songwriter observed.

She bemoaned: “If systems work, though times are hard, it can be endured but if you live in a country with faulty systems, where you must find your own way to make ends meet, it’s not easy at all.”

Ceccy Twum was asked about one Western thing she would like to see implemented in Ghana.

“I was moved to tears in a car the first time I visited the UK,” she answered. I asked myself if we had a bus system like this in Ghana, would it not be helpful? A day after I arrived, I was able to go out by myself because I readily could identify my street and bus number. That was it. I was able to move around by myself.”

The Strong Tower singer lamented Ghana’s persistent economic struggles despite being rich in natural resources. She intimated mismanagement by leaders was at the heart of the problem.

“I asked myself why don’t we use our resources to build this country instead of always looking for foreign loans with our timber, gold and oil as collateral?” Ceccy Twum asked.

“We’re always indebted and our resources are being taken over as we default in payment. This is why we are at a standstill and not progressing as a nation and a continent,” she stressed.

“Our system has made life really tough and it has affected everything. It’s even difficult to go to church, when you consider all the expenses you’ll make to go and return home. So, you settle for a once-a-month attendance,” the decorated artiste bemoaned.

Here, she prayed and laughed: “God should have mercy on Ghanaians and not take us to hell in the afterlife because we’re already in hell. Otherwise, we’d have experienced hell twice if we end up there.”

“God will help us. God will speak for us,” she added, alluding to her new song Kasa (Speak Lord).
