An Indian businessman who lives in Ghana made a comment about Ghanaian women that caused a lot of people to respond on social media. “I don’t like Ghanaian girls because one told me she hadn’t eaten and was hungry,” he said candidly in an interview, sharing his own experience and justification.
The businessman, who has lived in Ghana for a number of years, clarified that his remark was inspired by a particular experience that had a profound effect on him.

He claims that the incident occurred when he was out and about and ran into a Ghanaian woman who freely acknowledged that she was starving and hadn’t eaten. He felt the encounter influenced his perspective and was unpleasant.
“This is the truth. I met a girl, and she told me she hadn’t eaten. I didn’t know how to react,” he added. The businessman went on to say that while he respects Ghanaian culture and the hospitality of people in the country, this particular incident influenced his personal preferences in relationships.
His statement has generated a range of responses from social media users. His generalisation about Ghanaian women based on a single encounter has drawn criticism from some quarters. They contended that his remark did not accurately represent the traits or conduct of Ghanaian women in general. On X, formerly Twitter, a user stated, “It is unfair to judge an entire group based on one person’s situation.” Others, however, believed that everyone had the right to express their own tastes and experiences, regardless of how odd or contentious they may seem.
Relationship experts have also weighed in, noting that while it is natural for people to form personal opinions based on their experiences, generalizations can be harmful. They emphasize that every individual is unique and cannot be defined solely by nationality or a single encounter. According to Dr. Ama Serwaa, a relationship counselor in Accra, “Personal experiences influence our preferences, but it’s important to remember that they are not representative of all people from a certain country. Each person has their own story, challenges, and personality.”
The businessman clarified that his comment was not meant to insult Ghanaian women or their culture. He said he has met many kind and respectable women in Ghana who have impressed him in different ways. “I don’t dislike the people here. I just meant that experience made me cautious,” he said.
His statement has sparked discussions across social media platforms, with some people debating cultural differences in dating, while others reflect on the importance of understanding individual circumstances before forming opinions. Many users are using the comment as an opportunity to talk about how honesty and openness in relationships should be met with understanding rather than judgment.
