Kofi Amoabeng, the former Chief Executive Officer of the defunct UT Bank, has expressed a critical view of Ghanaians, describing them as generally not good people.
In an interview circulating on social media, Amoabeng highlighted traits such as envy and deceitfulness, which he believes are prevalent in the way Ghanaians interact with one another.
According to him, these attitudes contribute to mistrust and hinder societal progress.
Kofi Amoabeng discusses the level of corruption among Ghanaians, suggesting that due to their wickedness, they will be given a leader who will not bring about positive change.
“Ghanaians are not good people, let’s accept it.
Sometimes we are evil, we hate people for no reason, we are jealous of people; we are not honest when we are dealing with people in business or wherever.
We like corruption; we’ve been corrupted, and we get into all sorts of things.
When people are that bad, God will not bail them out.
The only way for God to punish them is to give them a bad leader who will make sure things don’t happen for them.
You see the Israelites were in bondage for over 435 years, I hear if you read the Bible.
So God looked at them, so called God’s chosen people he turned his head somewhere and said you guys learn some lessons before he bailed them and took them to the promised land,” he said.
