There’s Nothing Wrong With Showing Off Your Wealth,But This Show Off Make No Sense To Me—Bongo

According to a Post on Bongo Ideas official facebook account on Monday, November 9,2026,Ghanaian social commentator Bongo Ideas has taken a swipe at a man identified as Great Osama over reports that he is prepared to spend $600,000 to bring Nigerian music star Davido to Ghana for a performance.

In a Facebook post, Bongo Ideas expressed disbelief over the reported expenditure, questioning why such a huge amount would be committed to a celebrity concert when the community where Great Osama reportedly resides continues to face pressing developmental challenges.

He specifically mentioned Manso, highlighting poor road networks, limited employment opportunities and the lack of adequate development as some of the concerns that should attract the attention of wealthy individuals in the area.

Although acknowledging that Great Osama is neither a politician nor an elected representative, Bongo Ideas argued that wealth comes with an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in society, regardless of whether its owner holds public office.

To strengthen his argument, he cited billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk as an example of someone who has built businesses and created opportunities without holding political office.

Bongo Ideas maintained that there was nothing wrong with wealthy individuals flaunting their financial success, but insisted that spending an alleged $600,000 on a foreign musician while basic community needs remain unresolved raises questions about priorities.

He further argued that Davido would eventually complete the performance, collect his payment and return to Nigeria, leaving residents of Manso to continue dealing with unemployment and poor road infrastructure.

The commentator suggested that the money could instead be channelled into initiatives capable of creating jobs, supporting businesses or improving infrastructure in the community.
