Don Little speaks about ordeal in Ethiopia
Seated on a business class flight, Don Little decided to share a harrowing story of how he almost got into trouble for offering someone in Addis Ababa the Ghana cedis.
On Don Little's Instagram, he mentioned that when he was boarding a flight in Ghana, the only money he had on him was Ghana cedis.
He noted that he was aware he had to change it into another currency at the airport, but he did not.
"And then I got to Addis Ababa. I landed in the morning. The flight was at dawn. At 12 am. We were about to take off when suddenly I felt hungry, but I did not know where to buy food," he said in the video.
Out of desperation, the diminutive actor said he approached someone to offer him money to buy food. He explained that his idea was to give the person the cedi equivalent of the birr.
Don Little said the person he approached believed he was a thief and called the police on him.
He said that when the police arrived, there was a misunderstanding, but fortunately for him, one of the officers recognised him.
"I know this guy. He is a comedian," Don Little said, mimicking the officer.
He said the other police officers searched and found out that he was indeed a Ghanaian celebrity and a comic actor, and was not a bad person.
The talented actor noted that he was fortunate that one of the officers recognised him, and that if that were not the case, he would have landed in prison for theft, which was not true.
"I beg of you my Ghanaian siblings, let's use this as a lesson. Whenever you are travelling, make sure to change money to the currency of the country you are visiting," he advised in the video.
