Ghanaian – American comedian and actor, Michael Blackson has disclosed that his assistant in Ghana is being threatened following his rants on social media about his experience with Ghana’s Eurobond investment. Blackson few days ago shared his experience with investment in Ghana’s Eurobond stating that the government has “robbed” him off his investment.
In the latest tweet, the actor questioned why his assistant was being threatened when he only shared his distressing ordeal with Ghana’s Eurobond investment. Let me get this straight, I decided to come home because of the love and passion I have for home but I get robbed and since I don’t have the power to fight back, I decided to tell the world my problem and now they threaten my people. Smh,” he tweeted. However, Blackson expressed his willingness not to be suppressed by any means to keep mute on the matter.
“I fear no one but God, I will tweet every day till something is done. I’m an American by naturalization but I’m Ghanaian by blood, both countries have freedom of speech so I will speak my mind,” he added. The Ghanaian American actor also explained that he had researched Ghana’s bond history, believing they would be a stable investment, but things turned out worse.
“I did my research on Ghana and bonds, in their history of existence there has never been an issue. So, I said to myself this interest can keep my school going. $10k a month will be good to pay teachers, cooks, cleaners, security, lunch, electricity, water, books, etc.
I figured $1m would get me $10k, I got one payment and it stopped. It’s been 2 years, mind you they had my $1m and I had to find $10k each month. Now you know why I’m pissed,” he said.
