Lily Mohammed criticises Okudzeto over IShowSpeed's passport
On Wednesday, January 28, 2026, social media erupted after Lily Mohammed, a presenter on GHOne TV, criticised Okudzeto Ablakwa after he announced a free delivery of a passport to IShowSpeed following his livestream tour in Ghana.
"I must add my two cents. Let’s get serious as a country. The person comes to Ghana for a day or two, and you just hand them a Ghanaian passport. Wonyɛ serious? Wonyɛ serious?" she said.
Lily further expressed disappointment in the minister, saying:
"Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, we had high expectations of you. You hand a Ghanaian passport to someone who’s streaming, who is here for his personal content. What has he done for Ghana? And the moment he steps on our jollof, Ghanaians eat from it. Wonye serious? Let’s put value on our passports. Let’s put value on this country."
She again argued that some people occupying high offices are unserious:
While acknowledging IShowSpeed’s role in projecting Ghana internationally, she argued that rewarding him with a passport was not the right approach.
"I think he deserves a pat on the back. But to give him a Ghanaian passport? Let’s get serious in this country."
Lily apologises to Okudzeto over IShowSpeed comment
A few hours after her jab, the GHOne TV presenter came out to publicly apologise for her unexpected actions.
She extended her apology to Ghana's Foreign Affairs Minister as well as Ghanaians who felt offended by the statement she made.
