Accra to London By Road: Counsellor Lutterodt Calls Epic Journey A Useless Venture With No Benefit For Ghana

Accra to London By Road: Counsellor Lutterodt Calls Epic Journey A Useless Venture With No Benefit For Ghana

  • Counsellor Lutterodt has incurred the wrath of many for calling Wanderlust Ghana's journey useless
  • The blunt social commentator said that without involving state institutions to cover and promote the country, the group did not deserve their applause
  • Wanderlust Ghana shocked the world when a group of 11 men and one woman drove from Ghana to the United Kingdom

Counsellor Lutterodt, an outspoken Ghanaian counsellor, insists that Wanderlust Ghana were selfish for not involving the government in promoting Ghana.

According to him, the group should have sought protection from state agencies so that the world would see that Ghana is well-organised.

Despite Wanderlust Ghana's reasons for not going with Kantanka cars, Counselor Lutterodt pressed that they should have found a way to brand their cars as Ghanaians.

You don't take useless risks in the name of laurels. Which part gave us the tourism attraction? The Ministry of Tourism and Culture should be part of this adventure that people are doing. Number two, the vehicle we travelled with, what were we selling?

As humans, we should be proud of others for their success, happiness and efforts. He is just bitter and thinks he is always right.

@andysenad-wealth7544 commented:

Is this man really a Counselor? I wouldn’t come out to display such ignorance without getting my facts. Go and find out if they didn’t contact the tourism board and the response they gave the wanderlust team. That’s why there will always be a difference between Nigerians and Ghanaians because they celebrate their own.

@ritaanane-dufie8505 commented:

I'm so proud of them. They should pat each other shoulders for what they've achieved . I went to work yesterday after 6 months off sick. Some white Englishman welcomed me, asking me if I had seen the 13 Ghanaian men who drove from Ghana to the UK. He said that's amazing. Counselor, the negativity is too much.
