• A Canada-based Ghanaian man, Dr Isaac Mensah, has shared his view on the comparison between a Dutch passport and a PhD from Ghana
• Dr Mensah, in a TikTok video, said that the Dutch passport carried more weight in terms of benefits than a PhD from a Ghanaian university
• He further backed his opinion by reading out a long list of benefits holders of a Dutch passport have over people with PhD from Ghana

A Ghanaian based in Canada has waded into the raging debate over the value of a Dutch passport vis-a-vis a PhD acquired from a university in Ghana.

For the past few days, Ghanaian social media platforms have been replete with commentaries and debates about the benefits of holding a foreign passport rather than a PhD.

This conversation was goaded by a Ghanaian-turned-Dutch, Kofi Gabs, also known as Mr Happiness, who works as a cleaner in the Netherlands.

Kofi Gabs, in one of his usual videos on TikTok, opined that his newly acquired Dutch passport is superior to a PhD obtained from a Ghanaian University.

Sharing his views on this seemingly hot topic, the Ghanaian man, identified on TikTok as Dr Isaac Mensah (Dr Isaac Wealth), suggested in a long explanation that, to him, a Dutch passport is superior to a PhD from Ghana.

Dr Mensah read from the Meta AI a long list of benefits and advantages holders of the Dutch passport have over anyone with a PhD from Ghana.

In any case, Dr Mensah says Dutch citizens have easier access to education, if they want to, across the European Union than a PhD holder from Ghana.

"If you have easy access to education and you work and earn good salaries, which school can't you attend? Unless you are academically not fit to do a PhD," he said.

"I know some doctors in Ghana who are hungry; they are always complaining. When I was in Ghana, life wasn't easy at all. I worked for a whole year and my savings weren't even up to GH¢20K," he added.

In the video's concluding part, Dr Mensah said he would choose a Dutch passport over a PhD from any Ghanaian university.
