From September 19th to September 22nd, 2023, Ghana witnessed a significant protest led by social media influencers, musicians and bloggers, including Sneaker Nyame, under the hashtag #OccupyJulorBihouse. This protest aimed to draw attention to the economic hardships and suffering experienced by Ghanaians in the country.
The hashtag #OccupyJulorBihouse became a trending topic on Twitter, serving as a powerful platform for Ghanaians to voice their concerns and grievances. The name “Julor Bihouse” is symbolic and represents the challenges faced by ordinary citizens in the country.
Ghanaians participating in the protest used this platform to highlight issues such as rising inflation, unemployment, inadequate access to basic services, and the overall cost of living. Many citizens felt that their voices were not being heard, and this protest was a way to demand change and accountability from the government.
The three-day protest saw a significant online presence, with Ghanaians sharing personal stories, statistics, and images that reflected the economic difficulties they were facing. It also caught the attention of international media and organizations, bringing global awareness to the situation in Ghana.
While the #OccupyJulorBihouse protest ended on September 22nd, 2023, its impact continued to resonate. The organizers and participants hoped that their collective efforts would lead to meaningful dialogue and positive changes in the country’s economic policies and governance.

We’re giving it everything we’ve got, and I want to express our sincere gratitude to @VicMensa for standing by us during this protest. In Ghana, we certainly have the resources we need, but it’s disheartening to note that we’re at the top of the list when it comes to borrowing…
