Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has responded satirically to a recent comment by the senior pastor of Pottersville Church International, Bishop Samuel Owusu, who claimed that 25-year-olds should have at least GH¢25,000 in their bank accounts.
In an interview on Onua TV on May 1, 2025, Bishop Owusu blatantly said, “At the age of 25, you should have at least GH¢25,000 in your bank account.”
Reacting to this statement, Sarkodie took to his X page, noting that he is only GH¢3,850 short of meeting the bishop’s benchmark.
With a touch of sarcasm, he acknowledged that while he may be a bit behind schedule considering his age, it’s “better late than never.”
“GH¢3,850 more then, I’m good to go. It’s a bit late but better than nothing, I guess,” he posted.
Meanwhile, the bishop’s comment has since sparked massive debate on social media.
While some users support the idea of cultivating financial responsibility from a young age, others labelled the GH¢25,000 savings expectation as unrealistic, especially given the economic challenges many Ghanaian youth currently face.
Scores of netizens are weighing in on the pressures placed on young people to achieve financial success by a certain age.
