Ghanaian actress, Juliet Ibrahim, has lamented the cost of living in Ghana, saying it is more expensive than that of Nigeria.
Juliet made this statement while contrasting the expensiveness of living in Ghana and Nigeria due to Ghana’s current increase in fuel costs.
In a post recently, she questioned if anyone in Nigeria spends 72,000 Naira (GH1400), or precisely 72,000 naira on fuel each week.
Juliet claimed that her monthly fuel expenditure was much higjer than that of USA, while adding Ghana is currently the “most costly West African country”.
She added that, “Ghana is officially the most expensive West African country right now! And this is no joke. “$100 is currently 1400 cedis.
And “1400 cedis equals 72,000 Naira.
Juliet wonders, “Is there any Nigerian on my timeline that spends 72,000 Naira to fuel their car and use it for a period of 5 to 7 days?
She stressed, “Let’s have this discussion and make it make sense to me o.
According to her, “Someone driving a car of 3.0 / 3.5 fills their fuel tank to use within 5 to 7 days with fuel worth 1300/1400 cedis. But this is hardly the case.

In her words, “Even in USA, to fuel the same type of car can and will never be that much!.
“Yet we are all going through the same economic crisis.”
Juliet clarified further that the aim of her argument was not political.
She emphasises: “This is not a political post.
” Everyone is impacted, and sharing our worries and concerns only keeps one sane,” she stressed.
“I hope that we can all get through this and work even harder. because it appears like nothing will return to normal. Now is the time
to plan and concentrate on numerous sources of income.
Juliet concluded by pointing out that, “We need to double our hustle very well. God help us all as we adjust to the new standards of living.”
