Popular Kumawood actor, Kwaku Manu, has expressed his frustration with the high cost of living in Ghana.
The comic actor shared that many Ghanaians, especially parents, were spending a lot of money on their children daily.
“Every Ghanaian worker deserves to be paid GH₵10,000 and above. It’s only God who takes care of us. The expenses we are making here are not easy. Any truthful person knows what I am saying, especially people with children. You will spend about GH₵3,100 if you and your four children spend GH₵100 daily as chop money.”
Kwaku Manu
The Kumawood actor complained that despite paying canteen fees for his four children, he always has to give them additional money for their daily upkeep. He lamented the living conditions in Accra and compared them to those of Kumasi.
According to him, he struggles to get water in his East legon mansion during the dry season and spends GH₵150 every two days on securing water from water tanker drivers.
“I have four children. I have already paid their canteen fee, but I also have to give all of them money when they go to school every morning. Calculate how much you will spend in four days if you give each one of them at least ten cedis every day. Living in Accra is even different. It is not like Kumasi, where you won’t have any problem after constructing a borehole in your home. I have a borehole, but I experience a shortage of water during the dry season every five months.”
Kwaku Manu
The Kumawood actor noted that he was also spending a lot of money on other things, including foodstuffs and fuel for his cars. He shared that he had recordings of people who also called him regularly for financial support.
Kwaku’s complaints about Accra living stirred reactions from netizens.
“I am an Aboboyaw driver. Every 10 days, I pay ECG 180 cedis. It is not easy. I can’t feed my family well. Why? All because of bad leaders from NPP and NDC.”

“It’s not easy, o. Only bread costs 20 cedis a day. For two kids, a month is 600 cedis. Borla money every week. We are suffering. It’s only God.”

Kwaku Manu Reacts After Twene Jonas’ Harsh Remarks
The popular Kumawood actor responded to controversial US-based social media commentator Twene Jonas over his harsh remarks about him.
The comic actor recounted how he wanted to hold an interview session with Jonas when he started sharing political commentaries on social media.
“I wanted to interview Twene Jonas when he started his thing. Some people in the US have told him that his career will end. I spoke to Twene Jonas’s manager about interviewing him, but they told him that if he allowed me to interview him, his career would be over.
“He always brags that he has money and properties, but he only started renting his own apartment recently. Jonas just started renting a two-bedroom apartment. You can live with someone abroad or even share a room. I am not saying he sleeps on the streets.”

“What I don’t like about him is that he should be tactical about things that he puts his mouth in. He talks too much and thinks he’s the most intelligent human being alive.”
