Veteran Ghanaian songstress, artiste manager and entrepreneur Mzbel has revealed why she refused to travel abroad to give birth.
According to Mzbel, traveling abroad to give birth so that your children gain automatic citizenship is not a good thing. She explained that she will feel to shy to even allow herself to travel abroad just to give birth.
Mzbelโs comments was based on the statements by Kofi Gabs, a well-known Ghanaian social media personality residing in the Netherlands. In a video that has since gone viral, Gabs argued that his Dutch passport holds more practical value than a PhD from Ghana.
He shared his personal experience of applying for a visa to visit a friend in the United States via the ESTA app, emphasising the ease with which he received approval thanks to his Dutch citizenship. He highlighted the swift and uncomplicated process, suggesting that it was significantly smoother than what he would have faced with a Ghanaian passport.
Gabs went further, asserting that the tangible benefits of holding a Dutch passport outweigh the prestige of obtaining a PhD in Ghana.
The reaction from the Ghanaian community has been mixed but predominantly critical. Many Ghanaians took to the comments section of the post to defend the value of advanced degrees from their home country.
Mzbel made it clear she is raising her kids to know that they donโt need to travel abroad to be successful.
