Daniel McKorley a renowned Ghanaian businessman and Executive Chairman of the McDan Group commonly known as McDan has warned Ghanaian youths that marriage without money can derail them.
According to McDan, one must not marry if they don’t have money.
McDan further revealed that he was afraid of marriage because of ‘chop money’
Speaking at the 2025 edition of PCH Hangouts at the ICGC The New Wine Temple, East Legon McDan stated, “If you don’t have money, don’t marry. Marriage without money can derail you”.
“I couldn’t marry early because I was afraid of ‘chop money.’ I grew up in an environment where you could see a man physically abusing a woman because of money, and a woman verbally abusing a man because of money.
“So, the institution of marriage was scary for me,” he confessed.
The business mogul further advised Ghanaian youths who sleep more than eight hours a day to start sleeping for four hours.
He noted that young adults need to practice discipline, courage, and personal sacrifice to achieve success.
According to Mcdan, Ghanaian youths must cut back on sleep to invest more time in self-improvement and service to others.
Mcdan stated, “If you sleep eight hours a day, start sleeping four hours. Add the extra two hours in serving somebody. There’s a lot of benefit in service. So, start with yourself”.
Mcdan further noted that many Ghanaian youth are intelligent and full of potential, but often lack the discipline and “finishing power” to make their dreams a reality.
He added, “It’s not money. The finishing power. If you ask me to stop everything and focus on one thing, focus on yourself”.
“Discipline is what the Ghanaian youth need, discipline and a bit of courage. We have smart youth in this country, but they need a bit of discipline and a bit of courage”.
