After his first video which triggered Ghanaians, Kofi Gabs has gone ahead to release more clips of himself reiterating and maintaining his earlier opinion.

In a new video sighted by YEN.com.gh, Mr Happiness, who left the shores of Ghana in 2018 for the Netherlands, appears to be throwing shades at his critics.

Kofi Gabs, who recently acquired his Dutch citizenship, said he is surprised that an "uneducated" person like him could rile an entire nation to become a topic for discussion.

"By the Ghanaian standard, I'm uneducated because I have never been to the university before yet I made a video a few days ago because I'm now Dutch, by the way, you don't get this passport for free, you have to write an exam, you have to go through a process, and the educated people in Ghana are discussing what the uneducated person, by their standard, said,” he stated.
