Kofi Gabs, popularly known as Mr. Happiness, has ignited a storm of controversy on social media following his recent remarks comparing the value of his Dutch passport to a PhD. Gabs, who has garnered a significant following for his upbeat and often provocative content, claimed that his Dutch passport is more valuable than a PhD, citing the ease with which he obtained a visa to the United States within 24 hours.
In a statement that has since gone viral, Gabs openly mocked Ghanaians, declaring that he had willingly renounced his Ghanaian nationality in favor of Dutch citizenship due to the lack of opportunities in Ghana. This pronouncement has not been well received by many Ghanaians, who have taken to social media to express their displeasure.
Adding fuel to the fire, Gabs has recently escalated his controversial remarks by comparing himself to renowned Ghanaian business mogul, Dr. Osei Kwame Despite. Gabs asserted that his Dutch passport grants him a higher status, suggesting that even if he travels in economy class while Dr. Despite travels in business class, he would receive VIP treatment because of his Dutch citizenship. According to Gabs, this would result in Dr. Despite queuing for services while he enjoys expedited treatment.
These statements have only intensified the backlash against Gabs, with many accusing him of disrespecting his homeland and its citizens. Social media platforms are abuzz with criticism, with users lambasting him for his perceived arrogance and lack of patriotism.
Despite the criticism, Gabs appears undeterred, continuing to make light of the situation with further provocative comments. His actions have kept him at the center of public attention, ensuring his continued trend on social media.
