Sometimes corruption comes in, but the political system won\u2019t change suddenly. It has to be a gradual change. For Norway, we were lucky because our population is five million, so the system can cater to us,\u201d Abena told DJ Nyaami.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Miss Hege stayed in Ghana for four years. For the first year, Abena stayed in Kumasi as part of an NGO to learn about the culture of Ghana. According to Abena, her experience brought her back as a student at the University of Ghana. She studied at the School of performing acts for three years and appeared in an Astymin commercial in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n<p>Kindly watch the full interview on YouTube: SVTV Africa<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: SVTV (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
