Comedian and philanthropist Michael Blackson has taken a light-hearted approach to a recent financial setback, joking that the students at his school in Ghana might have to start eating “Naija jollof” after losing his Eurobond investment.

Blackson, who opened the Michael Blackson Academy in Agona Nsabaa in 2023, initially announced the project in 2020.

The school offers free education to children from kindergarten to Basic 3, and Blackson has been vocal about his commitment to giving back to his community.

To help secure the school’s future and fund its operations, he invested $1 million in Eurobonds, hoping the returns would provide long-term stability for the institution.

However, following a loss on that investment, Blackson humorously took to social media to express his frustration: “Now that Ghana has taken the money I invested in my school, I’ll have to feed the kids Naija jollof.”

Despite the financial hit, Blackson’s dedication to his school remains strong. His humour underscores his resilience, and fans can be sure he’ll find a way to continue supporting the school’s mission to provide free, quality education to underprivileged children.

The US comedian of Ghanaian descent sparked a social media frenzy on the internet on Tuesday with revelations about a raw deal he received from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.

In a series of fiery posts shared on X (formerly Twitter), Blackson expressed his frustration over significant financial losses tied to his investment in Ghanaian Eurobonds, which he had intended to help fund his charitable efforts back home.
