Cocoa farmer who went viral for ‘Wo de y3n ka’ criticism now praises Mahama after improved

A Ghanaian cocoa farmer, who recently became an internet sensation for criticising political leadership with the now-famous phrase “wo de yɛn ka”, has made a dramatic U-turn in a new video – this time singing the praises of former President John Dramani Mahama.

In the latest clip circulating on social media, the farmer appears visibly cheerful and satisfied after selling his cocoa produce. He expresses heartfelt gratitude and appreciation, suggesting that his financial situation has improved markedly compared to the period when he first captured public attention.

The farmer originally became a national talking point after a video showed him lamenting economic hardship and claiming he had been left in debt. His emotional outburst sparked widespread reactions across social media and even drew a direct response from Mahama himself.

However, in this surprising turnaround, the farmer’s message is now decidedly positive. He acknowledges better returns from his recent cocoa sales and commends the former president – a complete shift from his earlier frustrations.

The contrasting videos have reignited online conversations, with many Ghanaians debating whether the change reflects genuine improvement in the cocoa sector or merely a temporary relief.
