I am the poorest among Manso’s richest men – Great Osama

The Chairman of the Amansie South Small-Scale Miners Association, Great Osama, born Kwaku Abonei, has disclosed that, contrary to the erroneous impression that he is the richest person among his peers, he is actually the poorest.

The businessman described himself as the poorest among the rich people in Manso, claiming that several individuals in the gold-rich community are far richer than he is but prefer to keep their fortunes out of the public eye.

Speaking during an interview with MC Portfolio on Angel FM, Osama said his wealth should not be compared with that of some of the richest people in his hometown because many of them do not seek media attention.

“I am actually the poorest among the list of richest men in Manso. There are people here who are far richer than me, but they don’t want the public to know about their wealth,” he said.

Osama also discussed the role his two wives have played in his success, arguing that women are important to a man’s ability to make it in life.

He further spoke about his experience organising Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido’s upcoming visit to Manso, describing the musician as humble and easy to deal with.

According to him, Davido did not make things difficult during their arrangements, unlike some Ghanaian artistes who allegedly make outrageous demands when they discover that an organiser is wealthy.

“Davido is very humble. He didn’t make things difficult for me. Some Ghanaian artistes, however, make outrageous demands when they get to know you have money,” he added.

Osama is organising an event dubbed The Davido Experience, scheduled for Sunday, November 15, 2026, at Manso Akwasiso. The event will also celebrate the third anniversary of his 60-room New York City Hotel.

He also expressed confidence in his popularity in Manso, claiming he could win the parliamentary seat as an independent candidate if he decided to contest.

The businessman further appealed to the government to fix the deplorable roads in the area, stressing Manso’s contribution to Ghana’s gold production.
