Ghanaian artiste, Ogidi Brown, has offered an emotional reflection on the life-altering accident that left him in a wheelchair nearly ten years ago.
Speaking to ZionFelix during an interview in Italy, where he resides, the OGB Music boss shared painful memories of the incident, revealing that he was a passenger when it occurred. But what stood out most was his sobering comparison between the aftermath of such incidents in Ghana and Europe.
In a striking admission, he said he was thankful the accident didn’t happen in his home country. “I thank God it didn’t happen in Ghana,” he said, explaining that many victims in Ghana receive little to no support. “Some would even be glad to receive as little as GHS 10,000,” he added. “Sadly, others don’t get any compensation at all.”
Brown painted a stark contrast with the treatment he received in Italy, where, according to him, government agencies were proactive in ensuring his comfort and well-being after the incident. “They gave me an expensive wheelchair, and every five years, I can apply for a new one,” he said, adding that officials were concerned about where he would stay and how he would move around.
Despite this level of care, the artiste emphasized that public perception of foreign insurance benefits is often exaggerated. “The monthly payments I receive are not as massive as people think,” Ogidi Brown posited, dispelling the notion that compensation abroad is lavish.
