Blakk Rasta while discussing the free fall of the cedi on his Taxi Driver programme on the segment named The Black Pot, also shared his views on our penchant for importing inferior products into the country.
He made this known while identifying some of the problems that have contributed to the depreciation of the cedi, one of which he said is more imports and fewer exports.
He humorously said;
“Christmas is coming, more chicken will be imported into the country. Sometimes, I believe that the chicken that is imported into the country is not fowl.
Some of them might be vultures and crows because, for some of them, when you look at the thigh of the ‘chicken’, you want to ask yourself: ‘Eiii, what kind of chicken is this?’”
“And when you look at the beak of the bird, you wonder: ‘What fowl has this kind of mongoloid beak?’ The only thing that has that kind of beak is a vulture. And, so, they package vultures and crows; sometimes they’ll even package owls and send to you to eat for Christmas”.
“You are happily eating it … you are eating vulture, crow and ‘opete’. I wish you a vulture Christmas. I wish you crow Christmas”, Blakk Rasta said.
He said: “If there’s a worse time to be a Ghanaian, this is the time”.
He also predicted the cedi will become worthless by December which he likened to toilet paper.
“There was a time the Ghana cedi was even more valuable than the dollar. When we had our redenomination, the Ghana cedi became more valuable than the American dollar. Today, the American dollar exchanges 9.25 to the Ghana cedi”, he noted.
“Which company in Ghana produces balloons; common balloons? We import balloons night and day; toothpicks night and day. By Christmas, the Ghana cedi will almost become toilet paper”, Blakk Rasta charged on his programme.
