As I always Say,If You’re Between 20 And 35,Take Your Life Extremely Seriously—Bongo

According to a Post on Bongo Ideas official facebook account on Sunday, November 15,2026,Ghanaian social commentator Bongo Ideas has taken a swipe at young people who reportedly spent between GH¢500 and GH¢700 to attend the Tidal Rave festival, questioning their financial priorities amid ongoing concerns about unemployment and economic hardship.

In a strongly worded Facebook post, Bongo Ideas expressed disappointment with the event, describing it as one of the most boring shows he had ever witnessed. He particularly questioned why attendees would pay such significant amounts to watch performances by Mr Drew and other musicians.

According to the outspoken commentator, young people between the ages of 20 and 35 should be more intentional about their lives, financial decisions and future prospects instead of spending large sums on entertainment without considering their economic circumstances.

He also pointed out what he considered a contradiction among some young Ghanaians who allegedly spend hundreds of cedis attending concerts but later take to TikTok to complain about unemployment, financial difficulties and the country’s economic situation.

Bongo Ideas further raised concerns about the alleged behaviour of some attendees at the festival, claiming that certain individuals exposed their private parts, dressed provocatively and engaged in conduct he considered inappropriate.

While acknowledging that entertainment and leisure were important aspects of life, he insisted that young people should understand the difference between enjoying themselves and making financially irresponsible decisions.

He argued that spending GH¢700 on a concert ticket could amount to financial recklessness for someone who was struggling to meet basic needs or had more pressing financial responsibilities.
