Most of them have been in line with a pseudo-movement that has seen a lot of users attempting to use the 'almighty' Ghana card to solve all their problems, since it is so powerful.

Tabi Henry shared a photo of a man who was in the process of 'filling' the fuel compartment of his car with the card.

Abdul Hameed posted how a man went to a local shop to purchase an item with the Ghana card.

The woman who was selling at the provision shop had a confused look when she saw the card as she tried to figure out what exactly to do with it.

"Brace yourself for more difficult times" - Bawumia

In a separate story, although many Ghanaians were expecting Vice President Bawumia to offer words of hope about good policies government intends introduce to solve the economic hardship, he asked Ghanaians to brace themselves for tougher times.

He said the economic hardship might worsen because of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.

"Unfortunately, judging from where we are today, there is no end in sight for the Russia-Ukraine war. While we hope for a quick end to the war, we must understand that things could get worse before they get better," Dr Bawumia warned.
