Ghanaian creative consultant and stage designer, Mike Amon-Kwafo, has shared his thoughts on what he describes as a major contributing factor to corruption in Africa.
In an interview with GTV’s Kufui Dey, shared on X on November 3, 2025, Mike Amon-Kwafo noted that most African countries are corrupt because people in charge of national affairs have refused to think with their brains.
He explained that the rise in corruption across Africa is largely because most people, especially leaders, think with their manhoods, leading them to sell state resources to fund their sexual fantasies.

“It’s an extra expenditure, isn’t it? So you look for the money to do that. What happens if you sit in a position where you make decisions about money and where it should go? Won’t you dip your hands in?
“You are giving yourself extra expenditure, and you are taking from sources that don’t belong to you. You are denying other people their resources. But if we sit down and get analytical, a lot of the corruption in Africa is because we don’t know what to do with our penises,” he said.
Mike Amon-Kwafo further advised men to exercise self-control and stick with one woman, noting that their corrupt attitudes often end up hurting the less privileged, who depend on national resources.
“God gave us those breakpoints like self-control because it can take you overboard. I am not being holier than thou, I know some things I wouldn’t want anybody else to know because I am human anyway.
“But I am saying that we’re not socialised to think of the repercussions of our actions and how they impact other people’s lives. You’re taking from sources that don’t belong to you and denying others their rightful resources,” he added.
