My five kids have been sacked from school for not paying their school fees and they are home now. I am not working and my wife is also not working but look at the way people are using Kpa Kpa Kpa everywhere in their music and radio jingles all over the place and nobody will even call me to give me one Ghana cedi”. The term “Kpa Kpa Kpa” went viral after Mohammed granted an interview to Joy News on his thought on the general assessment of the Ghanaian economy. In a You Tube video Mohammed was seen sharing his opinion in a funny way on how things are very difficult in Ghana.
