<p>The comedian said he bought the Eurobonds to help fund his school project in Agona Nsaba. He explained that his goal was to use <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/michael-blackson-takes-hilarious-swipe-at-naija-jollof-amid-dollar1m-eurobond-saga/nb3h1gl">the investment to support the tuition-free school in his hometown. </a></p>

<p>However, after losing the entire investment,&nbsp;<a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/michael-blackson-claims-many-rich-people-in-ghana-dont-know-how-to-give/j8v8nsy">he expressed concerns about how to keep the school running.</a></p>

<p>In a series of posts, Blackson explained that the loss could affect the school's lifespan, and he might have to rely on charity to keep its doors open.</p>

<p>According to him, the Eurobonds were intended to sustain the school over its lifetime. However, he lamented:&nbsp;<em>"Ghana decided to use our money to pay their debt to China or whoever and leave us hanging."</em></p>

<h2>Michael Blackson publicly calls out the Finance Minister.</h2>

<p>Unhappy with the situation, he publicly&nbsp;<a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/michael-blacksons-free-school-opens-with-first-batch-of-enrolment-video/y2l98kw">called out the Finance Minister.</a></p>

<p><em>"Who’s the minister of finance in Ghana? I have beef with this guy. People of the diaspora decided to invest in our continent, and they used our money to pay their debt, giving us two options. Either take a 37% cut and receive 5% interest with an 11-year maturity date or no cut but 1.9% interest with a 15-year maturity date. I’m very disappointed in my people for this,"&nbsp;</em>he posted.</p>

<p>Bridget Otoo responded to his outburst, pointing out that Blackson should have addressed the individuals in power. </p>

<p>She argued that by blaming Ghana, he was avoiding direct criticism of the government, which is responsible for managing the country’s finances. In her post on X, she wrote:</p>

<p><em>“Michael Blackson is talking about Ghana instead of mentioning Akuffo Addo and Bawumia. He didn’t hesitate to name JM when he had to drag him. Mtseeeeew.”</em></p>

<p>Blackson's school, which opened in Agona Nsabaa in 2023, was first announced in 2020, offering free education to children from kindergarten to Basic 3.</p>

<p>To help fund the school's operations, Blackson invested $1 million in Eurobonds, hoping the returns would secure the institution's future.</p>
