In a video shared by The State News on X, the man praised Ghana for its peace and tranquillity.
However, his comments were based on his experience seeing several Ghanaians sleeping on the streets of Accra.
“Ghana gives you ultimate peace of mind. You can see how people lie down on the road, sleeping freely because they know they are safe,” he said.
While his words were intended as praise for the country’s peaceful nature, the video has drawn diverse reactions, particularly from citizens and netizens who questioned the interpretation of peace in such circumstances.
