I’m The Poorest Among Manso Rich Men–Davido Show Organiser Reveals

According to a report by Ghanaian Citizen TV on Thursday November 12, 2026, Great Osama, the businessman who reportedly spent $600,000 (approximately GH¢7 million) to bring Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido to Ghana, has made a surprising revelation about his financial status, insisting that he is not among the wealthiest people in his hometown of Manso.

Osama, who serves as the Chairman of the Amansie South Small-Scale Miners Association, says despite the attention he has attracted through his lavish public activities and association with high-profile personalities, there are several individuals in the gold-rich community whose wealth far exceeds his.

According to him, his financial standing among the wealthy people in Manso is relatively modest, claiming that he considers himself the poorest person among the town’s richest individuals.

Speaking in an interview with MC Portfolio on Angel FM, the businessman explained that many wealthy people in the community deliberately avoid public attention and prefer to keep their financial status private.

He suggested that the public perception of his wealth may have been influenced by his willingness to spend money on high-profile entertainment activities and other public engagements.

“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.

His comments have sparked interest, particularly following reports that he committed a huge amount of money to secure Davido’s appearance in Manso, an investment that attracted considerable attention within Ghana’s entertainment industry.

Beyond discussing his financial position, Great Osama also acknowledged the important role his two wives have played in his journey to success.

He stressed that women contribute significantly to the progress of men, suggesting that having supportive partners can make a considerable difference in achieving personal and business ambitions.

The businessman also shared details about his dealings with Davido ahead of the Nigerian superstar’s planned visit to Manso, describing the award-winning musician as humble and easy to work with.

According to Osama, his interactions with Davido during negotiations were smooth, with the singer reportedly making no unreasonable demands throughout their discussions.

He contrasted his experience with Davido against what he described as the behaviour of some Ghanaian musicians, alleging that certain local artistes become difficult to negotiate with once they realise an event organiser has substantial financial resources.

Osama’s remarks have added another dimension to discussions surrounding the reported $600,000 arrangement for Davido’s Ghana appearance, while also drawing attention to the businessman’s claims about the wealth of individuals in Manso.

His revelation that he considers himself the least wealthy among the town’s richest residents has equally raised curiosity about the fortunes of other wealthy individuals in the gold-producing community who, according to him, prefer to remain behind the scenes.
