President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo granted Ghanaian citizenship to the iconic American musician Stevie Wonder on Monday at a ceremony in Accra.

“Gotta give some latitude to how artists’ minds work.”

Stevie Wonder was born in modest circumstances in a wonderful country and enjoyed all of the benefits thereof. The prosperity and good-naturedness of Americans enabled his to use his talents and become successful and wealthy starting at a very young age. He slags on America and Americans now because he is an evil, God-hating commie. He should repent!

That’s interesting 🤔

I know a woman from Ghana who moved here and became a citizen so she could live freely as an entrepreneur instead if being forced into a tribal marriage in her home village.

Guess it’s just perspective...
