Who, do you consider to be an average Ghanaian?
A man with a steady job earning between 1,000 and 1,500 Ghana Cedis a month?
A man with a car which he drives on the regular?
A man who shares a two bedroom flat with a friend so that he may defray cost and save more?
A man who eats out regularly at between 6-8 Ghana Cedis a plate?
A man who if he so chooses travels internationally once a year?
or
A man with a part-time job earning between 150-400 Ghana Cedis a month?
A man who takes the occasional taxi but moves primarily on tro-tros (commuters)?
A man who rents a small a single room which he shares with his wife and child?
A man who always eats at home or from the 'corner caterer' for less that 2 Ghana Cedis a day?
A man who has seen neither the inside of a plane nor the 'Welcome To...' arc of a neighbouring country?
or
A man who does odd jobs here and there for what ever is given to him?
A man who takes the occasional trotro but primarily walks to his destinations?
A man who has a kiosk or rents a mat when the sun turns in?
A man who survives on sporadic meals?
A man who thinks of travel only as a means to take him back to the bosom of his village?
....or is there yet another man who forms the benchmark of the average Ghanaian?

ReplyDeleteThere is some of the average Ghanaian in each of your categories. What impresses me is how I feel that you've captured so much of the essence of the day-to-day (urban? suburban?)life in Ghana as I see it
ReplyDeletei'm more inclined to go for two..tho i must say dat i agree with Nana Yaw.
ReplyDelete@ Anon & NY - Point is well noted. It is not easy even with the use of statistics to find out who the average Ghanaian is.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I agree with NY that it is on spot. Can I do the female version?
