On one side, those in academia argue that a Ghanaian PHD is more prestigious and can open doors to more opportunities.

They believe that having a PHD from a reputable Ghanaian institution is a badge of honor that commands respect and recognition.

On the other hand, those in the corporate world believe that a Dutch Passport is more valuable than a Ghanaian PHD.

They argue that having a Dutch passport provides access to more job opportunities, better education, and a higher standard of living.

The debate has taken an interesting turn with the example of Depay and Frimpong.

Why did they opt for Dutch citizenship when they could have stayed with their Ghanaian nationality?

This question has sparked a new wave of discussion, with some arguing that even if Ghana has opportunities for them, they still chose to naturalize as Dutch citizens.

Others have added that Ghana’s limited opportunities are one of the reasons why many Ghanaians seek greener pastures abroad.

This has led to a wider discussion about the status-quo of Ghana’s economy and the need for greater investment in education and job creation to retain its most talented citizens.

In conclusion, the debate on Ghana PHD vs Dutch Passport is not just about which one is more valuable, but about the broader issues affecting Ghana’s economy and its diaspora.

We are  left to ponder whether a Ghanaian PHD or a Dutch Passport is truly the key to unlocking success and happiness.
