In a tweet made on April 26, DKB, whose real name is Derrick Kobina Bonney, revealed his absence from the platform, citing the distress caused by the nation’s economic woes and the unpredictable electricity supply.
He further explained that expressing his true sentiments about the situation might lead to repercussions, humorously implying that he could land himself in trouble and end up “behind bars.”
“You haven’t seen my tweets lately because, man, the state of the economy and the constant dumsor really get to me every day. If I were to tweet, I might end up in the ‘counter-back’ (police custody). Who else can relate?” he shared.
DKB’s tweet struck a chord with many Ghanaians who are experiencing similar frustrations, as the country struggles with economic hardships and unreliable electricity, impacting both the economy and the welfare of its citizens.
Numerous individuals, including politicians and Ghanaian celebrities, have voiced concerns about the unstable power supply in certain regions.
