Below were what some of them had to say.

Gina Boakyewaa indicated:

This is what we call affordable not the ones that is been sold 100,000ghc and above. With this, if u save well u can become a landlord/landlady.

Osman Mubarak-Ahmed mentioned:

Very good initiative, UG credit union link up with Tamale credit union to save our members from dying prematurely due to high rent.

Danyansah Frank stated:

The problem in other places will be the land value. Accra, Kumasi, Tema and Takoradi will cost about 150K to 200K all things on the structure being equal, and finally I think this structure is a built cost and not selling cost. I am certain the land value was not added to it, since its a Coperative Credit Union doing it for its members.

Tales Of Africa posted the upside-down house on their Facebook page which elicited a lot of mixed reactions from netizens. Some could not believe that the house was real. They rather strongly believed that it was a very good work of photoshop.
