The NAM1 Menzgold saga is no doubt, one of the most talked-about issues in Ghana to the extent that, newborn babies may be wondering whether NAM1 or Menzgold is part of their new vocabularies to learn.
In the year 2016, DKM – Diamond Micro-finance Ltd collapsed and it became both a national and a political issue where the huge investments of thousands of Ghanaians were locked up.
In August 2017, some Ghanaians were horrified and feared for the loss of their money and huge investments when the Bank of Ghana (BoG) gave Ghana Commercial Bank the green light to take over and acquire two local banks, thus UT Bank and Capital Bank that were struggling to operate in the economy.
As if that was not enough, the year 2018 also came with its own mixed feelings for investors and those interested in saving their money in some banks. In August 2018, the Bank of Ghana announced the creation of Consolidated Bank to take over 5 banks struggling to operate in the country. These 5 banks were Unibank, The Royal Bank, Beige Bank, Construction Bank, and Sovereign Bank. The year 2018 could have ended peacefully when the NAM1 Menzgold Saga also struck to kill the happiness of many Ghanaians leading to unrest among the thousands of individuals who have heavily invested in Menzgold.
Now, NAM1 has been arrested and prosecuted and the court has ordered for the selling of Menzgold properties but can that alone solve the problem and pay off the huge investments of individuals? The question is: are Ghanaians really learning from the turn of events right from DKM to Menzgold? Here are some lessons you can learn from the NAM1 Menzgold Saga.
