Kumawood actor, Joseph Osei, professionally known as Wayoosi has weighed in on the debate regarding the value of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees versus the benefits of acquiring a foreign passport.

The renowned thespian  argued that, the two serve entirely different purposes thus should not be compared.

In a video sighted by Ameyaw Debrah Media, Wayoosi expressed his preference for a foreign passport over a PhD, citing the numerous benefits it offers.

He went on to state that, even if a law degree were added to the PhD, he would still choose the foreign passport.

“Enough of this pointless debate, okay? How can you equate a foreign passport with a PhD? Even if you combine a law degree with a PhD, my choice would still be the foreign passport. Don’t overthink this and stress yourself,” he said.

As a result, Kofi Gabs argues that a Dutch passport holds more advantages than a PhD from Ghana, asserting that even a PhD holder would face difficulties in processing their travel documents with a Ghanaian passport.

His statement highlights that a PhD holder in Ghana, without a foreign passport, would encounter challenges in obtaining travel documents for international travel, unlike someone with a Dutch passport. Kofi Gabs believes that the Dutch passport holds greater value than a PhD from the University of Ghana.

On the other hand, Wayoosi believes that comparing a PhD to a foreign passport is unnecessary, as they serve distinct and separate purposes. He asserts that if given the choice, he would unequivocally opt for a foreign passport, even if it included a law certificate.
