Twene Jonas further made some comments suggesting that Kofi Gabs may have acquired his Dutch citizenship through the help of his girlfriend in the Netherlands, who he has been flaunting on social media.

"You are lucky to have met a white lady who helped you to get your citizenship, so shut up and stop bragging. Even those of us with American passports are quiet. If you have a white woman, I also have some; I even have them in different types," he said.

Twene Jonas is one of the many Ghanaians who seemed triggered and uncomfortable with Kofi Gabs' disregard for the academia in Ghana.

Mr Happiness has courted mixed attention on social media after he asserted that his Dutch passport is more valuable than a PhD awarded from any university in Ghana.

While he seems to enjoy the support of the masses, many others find his comparison baseless and senseless.

In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, Counsellor Daniel Fenyin said due to the lack of opportunities people turn to devalue educational qualifications in Ghana.

"The scenario indicates that despite despite advanced education, Ghanaian PhD holders face limited career prospects, low wages, and underemployment. It suggest that the education system may not be aligned with market needs, resulting in a disconnect between academic qualifications and employability." he added.
