Blackson also mentioned the research he conducted before making the investment.
“I did my research on Ghana and bonds. In their history, there has never been an issue. So, I thought the interest could keep my school running. $10k a month would cover teachers, cooks, cleaners, security, lunch, electricity, water, books, etc.
“I figured $1 million would generate $10k per month. I received one payment, and then it stopped. It’s been two years, and they’ve had my $1 million while I’ve had to find $10k each month. Now you know why I’m pissed,” Michael Blackson explained.
