In my opinion, Kwadwo Sheldon should be removed from the list. Whiles all the others create original content, Kwadwo Sheldon is just a graduate agenda boy who trash talks popular people, especially artistes, to get relevancy and money. His content does not add anything meaningful to society.
What about the other Ghana Youtubers to make it on this list do you need a certain level of views?
Nana Ama..should be top of this list..is this list in ranking order
Great list of Youtubers good to see that there are so many people talking about Ghana
