In
the
wake
of
a
disturbing
story
about
an
unemployed
graduate
threatening
to
end
it
all
by
the
end
of
August
if
his
circumstances
do
not
improve.
Award-winning
Ghanaian
blogger
and
vlogger,
Rashad,
has
weighed
in
on
the
situation,
shedding
light
on
the
broader
issues
facing
the
nation’s
youth.
During
the
most
recent
episode
of
GhPage’s
Rash
Hour
show,
Rashad
emphasized
that
the
mass
exodus
of
Ghanaian
youth
is
a
direct
response
to
the
severe
economic
hardships
plaguing
the
country.
He
argued
that
young
Ghanaians
are
choosing
to
channel
their
hard
work
and
talents
overseas,
where
they
believe
they
have
a
better
chance
of
reaping
the
fruits
of
their
labour.
“Ghanaian
youths
are
hardworking,”
Rashad
asserted.
“But
they
are
rewarded
with
peanuts
here.
Look
at
our
GHS18
daily
minimum
wage,
which
is
just
$22.
It’s
no
wonder
they
are
leaving
in
droves.”
Rashad
expressed
deep
concern
over
the
brain
drain
phenomenon,
highlighting
that
Ghana
is
losing
some
of
its
best
talents
to
the
West.
The
current
economic
climate,
marked
by
high
unemployment
rates
and
low
wages,
is
driving
many
young
Ghanaians
to
seek
opportunities
abroad,
where
they
hope
to
find
better
prospects
and
fair
compensation
for
their
efforts.
