Ghanaian Nurse Pleads With Ibrahim Mahama To Buy Her a Car, Says She Cannot Afford One
- A Ghanaian nurse has respectfully asked Ibrahim Mahama to support her with a car, explaining she cannot afford one on her current income
- This is after the business mogul recently assisted figures like Kofi Adoma, Suzy Pinamang, and Appiah Stadium, solidifying his reputation for philanthropy
- Netizens who saw the video expressed mixed reactions in the comments section, with some condemning her choice of car, while others urged the President's brother to get her the car
A Ghanaian nurse, Barbara Obeng, has made a passionate appeal to the brother of Ghana's president, Ibrahim Mahama, requesting a car.
The lady in a video politely asked Mr Ibrahim Mahama to buy her a car, since she does not have the means to get one.

"My Ibrahim Mahama, you are father for all. I have just one request, as a nurse, I'm pleading with you. If you can even get me a car, I would appreciate it," she said in the video.
She said that her salary was not enough to buy one, and besides, she doesn't want to go for a loan to purchase a car.
The lady's plea comes after Mr Ibrahim Mahama supported several individuals in the country with various forms of assistance.
Mr Mahama, who is a renowned businessman, has consistently demonstrated his commitment to philanthropy and social development.
He recently supported popular Ghanaian broadcaster Kofi Adoma Nwanwanii to get an eye surgery after he was accidentally shot in the face during a festival in Dormaa.

Ibrahim Mahama also supported Suzy Pinamang, a Bantama SDA SHS student who also accidentally got shot by a schoolmate after the latter brought his father's gun to school.
Mr Mahama is also noted to have gifted Appiah Stadium, a popular Ghanaian political commentator who vigorously campaigned for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the 2024 election period, a four-wheel vehicle after the NDC won the election.
However, it is unclear if he would heed the young lady's request. Barbara, in her video, specified the type of vehicle she wanted, emphasising that she did not want an expensive car.

While some asked her to request a bigger and more expensive vehicle, others wondered how she would maintain the car, as she said her salary was not enough to afford one. Another group also asked her to work harder and buy the vehicle herself.

"Is this not foolishness? Mr Ibrahim is helping people who need help, not people who get job, eat what they want, wear what they want, then sit and use their phones to ask for a car and even specifying the type of car they want."

"Why do Ghanaians like begging and feel so much entitled like this? Ain't this shameful? Coming from a professional in a nurse's uniform? The nursing profession has been rugged up over the years. This is shameful."
