One dollar is equivalent to GHS9.25\u201d, Blakk Rasta said.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"td-adspot-title\">&#8211;  &#8211;<\/span><br \/>\n<!-- ResponsiveAll --><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere 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\u201d, he noted.<\/p>\n<p>He also noted that to halt the trend, Ghana must cultivate of exporting more and importing less to salvage the image of the cedi. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"td-adspot-title\">&#8211;  &#8211;<\/span><br \/>\n<!-- ResponsiveAll --><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhich 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\u201d, Blakk Rasta charged on his programme. <\/p>\n<p>He also shifted his attention on the quality of some products we bring into the country. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cChristmas 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 \u2018chicken\u2019, you want to ask yourself: \u2018Eiii, what kind of chicken is this?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd when you look at the beak of the bird, you wonder: \u2018What fowl has this kind of mongoloid beak?\u2019 The only thing that has that kind of beak is a vulture. And, so, they package vultures and crows; sometimes they\u2019ll even package owls and send to you to eat for Christmas\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are happily eating it \u2026 you are eating vulture, crow and \u2018opete\u2019. I wish you a vulture Christmas. I wish you crow Christmas\u201d, Blakk Rasta said.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cIf there\u2019s a worse time to be a Ghanaian, this is the time\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>SOURCE: <strong>www.Ghbase.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"td-adspot-title\">&#8211;  &#8211;<\/span><br \/>\n<!-- ResponsiveAll --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; &#8211; Blakk Rasta has said considering the prevailing hardship in the country which keeps worsening by the day under the tutelage of President Nana Akufo Addo the cedi will become worthless by December.
