A couple of months ago, Kofi Gabs, also known as Mr Happiness, secured his Dutch citizenship after relocating to the European country from Ghana.
As a citizen of the Netherlands, Mr Happiness was later given a Dutch passport, a document that enabled him to travel to over 180 countries without requiring a visa.
Although he could have chosen to remain a dual citizen of both Ghana and the Netherlands, Kofi Gabs, for personal reasons, decided to renounce his former nationality.
Consequently, he presented his Ghanaian passport and other documents to the Ministry of Interior in an application to renounce his citizenship.

This means that the newly conferred Dutch citizen has completely cut ties with his country of birth, expunging his records from the West African nation's books.
Taking to social media to celebrate, Mr Happiness confirmed he was no longer a Ghanaian citizen, adding that he was happy to renounce his status.
Wearing a Ghana Black Stars jersey, the Dutch citizen sang and danced to the glory of God for his new journey in the European country.
"I'm extremely happy this evening because I received a letter in the morning from Ghana's Ministry of Interior informing me that I'm no longer a Ghanaian. I'm now a 100 per cent Dutch citizen," he said.
