A Ghanaian man based abroad, Mr Happiness, who recently naturalised, has bounced back with another reason he values his Dutch citizenship over his Ghanaian one.
In a post making rounds on social media, he recounted an unpleasant healthcare experience in Ghana, which he used to justify his claim.

The post reflects a time he fell seriously ill and was rushed to the 37 Military Hospital in Accra.
Recounting his ordeal, he noted that he was admitted to the hospital. However, he stayed on the floor due to the infamous "no-bed syndrome."

Counsellor Fenyi weighs on debate
Meanwhile, Ghanaian Counsellor Daniel Fenyi has expressed his views on the matter.
Despite Mr Happiness's arguments, Counsellor Fenyi believes that anybody intending to relocate abroad should be well prepared.
"[One must] reflect on the long-term impact of this move on your personal and professional life. Will it provide the growth and opportunities you seek? Engage with people who have made similar moves to gain insights and advice."
"Lastly, the decision to relocate should align with your long-term aspirations and offer a clear path to achieving your personal and professional goals," he added.
GH man abroad says Dutch passport trumps GH PhD
In an earlier publication, YEN.com.gh reported that Mr Happiness, a Ghanaian man based abroad, is trending after he claimed that his Dutch passport was more valuable than a PhD from a Ghanaian university.
His comments attracted criticism from Ghanaians on social media, with very few agreeing with him.
However, Mr Happiness, aka Kofi Gabs, says he is unperturbed by the criticism.
