A Ghanaian man has set social media ablaze afterunveiling his astonishing savings from multiple susu boxes, a traditional method of money-saving. The viral video, which has sparked debate online, shows the man pouring out heaps of coins and currency notes, leaving many amazed and others questioning the impact of hoarding cash.
According to YEN, In the trending video shared on X by @eddie_wrt, the man proudly displayed five large susu boxes he had used to save money over time. As he opened them, an overwhelming pile of Ghanaian cedi coins and notes spilled onto the floor. Using his foot to measure the depth, he expressed amazement at the sheer amount he had managed to accumulate.
The video also captured a child in the background, pleading to stay home from school to witness the count. “Since it’s Friday, you can stay and go to school on Monday,” the man casually responded, further adding a personal touch to the moment.
The viral footage has drawn mixed reactions from social media users. While many applauded the man’s financial discipline, others raised concerns about the impact of hoarding large amounts of coins.
One user, @RealN3n3, noted the struggles businesses face due to the scarcity of small change:
“The struggle to get coins for change is real! Traders and transport mates face this challenge daily, leading to constant heated arguments with passengers. But the bigger question is, how can one person hoard such a huge amount of coins? This is affecting everyone!”
Another user, @Fr3meTyga, questioned the legality of the act:
“Why are they not arresting people like these? Coins wey we need for simple business transactions, one person pack all for room. Many more are there that we don’t know.”
However, others defended the man’s right to save money however he chooses. @patriot_gh argued:
“He cannot be arrested. That is his money. Period.”
Similarly, @Your_Blackness dismissed concerns about legality, stating:
“This is so legal!!! There’s no law that prohibits traditional saving. I’ll wait, show me one and we would be using that against Cecilia Dapaah.”
While debates continue online, the man’s savings journey has undoubtedly captured national attention, reigniting conversations on financial literacy, saving habits, and the unintended effects of bulk cash storage on daily transactions.
