<\/p>\n

Wode Maya, a Ghanaian content creator, has described how Kantanka caused him to be imprisoned and forced to sponsor the funeral of a Ghanaian man who was accidentally slain by his team. According to the Ghanaian content creator, Kantanka upsets him, and he thinks Ghanaians only back you up when you succeed in life.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnytime I hear Kantanka, I definitely become sad because there\u2019s more to the story. I don\u2019t think I put everything out there. I think I need to copyright this quote saying \u2018Africans don\u2019t support the dream. They only support you when you\u2019re successful,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cIt feels good when you\u2019re doing something and your people support you, but it doesn\u2019t come out that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an interview with Helen Appiah-Ampofo on TV3\u2019s Twitter space, the vlogger recounts his experience when he reached out to Kantanka to offer them a free promotion since he is an advocate for \u2018Made In Ghana\u2019 products.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhen I started promoting \u2018Made In Africa\u2019 products, I reached out to them, knowing that Ghana makes cars. I felt that it was an exciting thing to put out there. I went there more than 10 times. I wrote letters and emails though I believe Africans don\u2019t read emails. When it comes to stuff like these, they always want you to go there directly. So I went there with the team; I wasn\u2019t \u00a0even charging and said, \u2018Let me put Kantanka on the map if surely, this is made in Ghana\u2019,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n

He continued to tell the story, adding that the famous automobile company kept throwing them aside rather than providing them with what they wanted. He also related how one of his drivers killed a man who was returning from his farm.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cAnytime people ask me about this whole Kantanka story, I don\u2019t want to talk about it because till today, there\u2019s so much pain. I\u2019ve been to prison because of Kantanka. We spent a weekend at a police station at Cape Coast and I had to sponsor a whole funeral.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wrapping up his reminiscing about the hurtful experience, the Ghanaian digital media influencer mentioned how some netizens criticize him for promoting Nigerian products. He added that he barely talks about the experience as it gets him super emotional.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGhanaians are always insulting me and asking why I\u2019m promoting a Nigerian brand instead of that of Ghana, but so many people don\u2019t know my story with Kantanka.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They can\u2019t deny the fact that they did this because I was there so many times. I hardly talk about this issue because anytime I hear Kantanka, I get emotional. I just don\u2019t want to bring the pain back again,\u201d he indicated.<\/p>\n
