'My assistant's life is in danger'- Michael Blackson discloses amid Eurobond saga

Michael Blackson recently took to social media to express his frustration over financial troubles caused by the Ghanaian government, revealing that his assistant in Ghana is now facing threats due to his outspoken tweets.

In his update, Blackson shared that his assistant had informed him of receiving threats following the actor's criticism of the financial situation in Ghana.“My assistant in Ghana called me yesterday and said he was getting threats because of my tweets,” parts of his tweets read.

Blackson questioned whether he was wrong to speak out after being robbed and struggling to get his investment back.

“Let me get this straight, I decided to come home because of the love and passion I have for home but I get robbed and since I don’t have the power to fight back, I decided to tell the world my problem and now they threaten my people. Smh,” he added.

He explained that his decision to invest in Ghana's bonds was based on thorough research, which indicated a stable history of bond performance.“I did my research on Ghana and bonds, in their history of existence there has never been an issue. So, I said to myself this interest can keep my school going. $10k a month will be good to pay teachers, cooks, cleaners, security, lunch, electricity, water, books, etc.

"I figured $1m would get me $10k, I got one payment and it stopped. It’s been 2 years, mind you they had my $1m and I had to find $10k each month. Now you know why I’m pissed,” he stated.He had invested $1 million with the expectation of receiving $10,000 monthly to support his free school project, but after receiving only one payment, the funds stopped.Blackson has been covering the $10,000 monthly expenses out of pocket for the past two years, which has added to his frustration.

Blackson criticized the Ghanaian government for reallocating Eurobond funds to address national debt, which he believes undermined his investment.He expressed disappointment with the current financial options for investors, which include significant cuts or extremely low interest rates over long periods.His remarks have sparked widespread reactions across social media, including from celebrities and media figures.
