While enjoying the meal, he remarked that he was reaping the fruits of his labour, noting that he deserved to enjoy the fruits of his hard work and dedication.
The farmer first gained public attention during protests by cocoa farmers over the reduction in the producer price of cocoa beans, a move attributed to declining prices on the international market.
During the protest, he made the now-famous remark “Mahama wo de yɛn ka,” suggesting that John Dramani Mahama owed farmers following the price adjustments, which he argued had negatively affected their income and placed financial strain on them.
His latest video has reignited online discussions, with some users celebrating his moment of enjoyment, while others continue to debate the broader concerns about cocoa pricing and farmer welfare.

With visible excitement, he commended the President for what he described as efforts to ensure farmers are paid their dues.

Upon receiving the money, he exclaimed that President Mahama had done well and expressed his appreciation.
Cocoa farmer says many are still owed
Despite the praise, the farmer noted that a significant number of outstanding payments are still owed to some local cocoa farmers.
The farmer first gained national attention after declaring 'Mahama wo de yɛn ka', meaning 'Mahama owes us', during a protest by farmers over falling prices.
The remark quickly went viral and became a rallying call in the agricultural sector, as many farmers expressed dissatisfaction with cocoa pricing.
At the time, he was among a group of aggrieved farmers who engaged with the Minority Caucus in Parliament in the Ashanti Region, where he passionately insisted that the government owed them.
He argued that campaign promises to increase cocoa prices had influenced their voting decisions and, therefore, must be fulfilled.
