In a video that has since gone viral, Gabs argued that his Dutch passport holds more practical value than a PhD from Ghana.
Gabs shared his personal experience of applying for a visa to visit a friend in the US on the ESTA app, emphasising the ease with which he received approval thanks to his Dutch citizenship. He highlighted the swift and uncomplicated process, suggesting that it was significantly smoother than what he would have faced with a Ghanaian passport. He went further to say that the tangible benefits of holding a Dutch passport outweigh the prestige of obtaining a PhD in Ghana.
The reaction from the Ghanaian community has been mixed but predominantly critical. Many Ghanaians took to the comments section of the post, defending the value of advanced degrees from their home country. They argued that academic achievements, such as a PhD, represent years of hard work, dedication, and intellectual contribution and held more weight than he thought.
