She stated that Ghanaians did not need to own credit cards and be on the system; but rather, many Ghanaians needed were well-paying jobs.

"This credit card system is not a necessity!!!" she stresed on her post on X.

The CEO of Eats Avenue further stated that the vice president needed to shift his focus into stabilising the cedi since it was depreciating further and further by the day.

"We need to keep our doctors and nurses home instead everyone is leaving because of low or unpaid wages. A doctor in America can make anywhere from $100-500,000 a year. Do you know how much the average doctor makes yearly in Ghana? No where close to those figures!!"

Buttressing her point, Efia Odo said that about 77 per cent of Americans are in debt due to credit cards. She added that the majority of them work to pay off their credit card bills.

@kenjimxx said:

"Sis their system is a live on credit system and it helps them. They also make use of it . Knowing how to use it wisely is more important. So it’s not bad."

@Daafi7 said:

"It’s not the sole responsibility of government to provide employment for all, do analysis on the developed countries like US,Uk etc the majority of the population is employed by private sector not government,in Ghana government has 70%+ of employees."

@Dadzie_Daily said:

"I’m happy you spotted on the Doctors and Nurses. These professionals and among others deserve to be clocking good figures."

@KT_Samuel said:

"A lot of them are in debt because they do not understand how to use credit. Simply financial literacy. For example, when a kid first gets into college, a lot of financial institutions target them as new customers and send them credit cards. You need to know your income limits and not accept every credit card. With that being said, debt is not a bad thing if it’s used well. Also, having a credit scoring system is very important, businesses can easily access credit due to their credit worthiness. Businesses will no longer have to use collaterals."
