An old video of the wife of the late former president Jerry John Rawlings, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, complaining that life is tough and hard for the ordinary Ghanaian, has resurfaced on the internet.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh in a tweet by Twitter user General Marcus, Nana Konadu said life in Ghana is so tough that both men and women are finding it hard to survive.
