Actress Lydia Forson urges Ghanaians to redirect their frustration towards leaders, claiming they’ve reduced the nation to perpetual beggars reliant on foreign aid.
She emphasizes the embarrassment of decisions influenced by external factors and calls for directed energy at the leadership.
Lydia Forson underscores the conflicting nature of recent events, questioning the contrast between priorities such as the emphasis on constructing a Cathedral alongside the controversial anti-LGBTQ bill.

In one post, she declares, “Regardless of your position when it comes to this Bill; you should be embarrassed that a lot of our decisions as a country are dictated by foreign aid. Be angry at your leaders who’ve turned us into constant beggars, that’s where your energy should be directed.”

Be angry at your leaders who’ve turned us into constant beggars, that’s where your energy should be directed.

In another post, she remarks, “One wants to build a Cathedral; the other is using resources to pass a Bill for proper human sexual rights and Ghanaian family. All this religious & morals showdown, yet we’re in a den of thieves. 😆 What’s the title of this movie?”

The anti-LGBTQ bill, officially named the Promotion of Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, was passed on February 28, 2024. It criminalizes and penalizes LGBTQ activities, with a 6-month to 3-year jail term for individuals involved and 3 to 5 years for promoters and sponsors, sparking discussions on Ghana’s values and societal priorities.
