For some Ghanaians born and raised abroad, relocating to Ghana can be quite an experience that leaves them disillusioned. While some give up and return, others stay and fight to make a success of their story.
Media personality, Mz Dru is one who falls in the latter category; she was born and raised in the UK and relocated to Ghana in 2018 after the death of her father. And while her nearly three-year stay in Ghana has had its challenges, she tells
Graphic Showbiz that she wouldn’t change a thing about her experience.
“ It’s been a journey, a rollercoaster and quite challenging but I wouldn’t change a thing about moving back because it’s shaped me and made me stronger. I am a very determined person and whenever I set my mind to do something, I make sure I see it through. There is a sense of peace I feel being here and also the opportunities I have had make it all worthwhile.
Today is Day 8 in my ten day quarantine in London as a requirement for having arrived from Ghana, which is an Amber country. It could be worse. Those arriving from “Red countries” such as India have to quarantine in hotels at their own cost. I am at home but unable to step outside the main door.

A Financial Economist, Professor Joshua Yindenaba Abor has called on African Governments to implement early and ambitious policy responses and reforms in their financial systems to minimise the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“COVID-19 is here to stay and if it is staying, its impact will be with us and the pressure is on to address the ongoing issues in addition to dealing with the existing challenges”
”There is the need to implement early and ambitious policy responses and reforms in the financial system to address the situation or minimise the impact”, he said.
He said though African Governments have provided some monetary and fiscal policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is the need for other policy actions to ensure that the continent’s financial systems are able to spur growth in the post COVID-19 era.
