Controversial Ghanaian social commentator Twene Jonas has made headlines with his latest remarks regarding Afia Schwarzenegger, a well-known media personality in Ghana. Jonas, who is known for his unfiltered opinions, took to social media to comment on Schwarzenegger’s recent career move into driving for Uber in the United States, suggesting that her decision was forced upon her by the lack of alternative income sources.
His statement, which was both explicit and provocative, read, “Afia Schwarznegger has been forced to drive Uber because no ‘obroni’ (a term often used to describe foreigners or Caucasians in Ghana) is foolish enough to pay her to sleep with her.”
This comment comes in the wake of revelations by lawyer and blogger Chris Vincent Agyapong, who shared a screenshot of Schwarzenegger’s alleged Uber profile, sparking widespread discussion about her life in the U.S. Schwarzenegger herself confirmed the news, emphasizing her independence and financial success despite the public’s reaction.
Twene Jonas has often used his platform to critique celebrities and public figures, and his latest remarks have once again ignited debates about privacy, respect, and the ethics of public commentary. His bluntness has polarized opinions; some see it as a form of entertainment or even a truth-telling mechanism in the public discourse, while others criticize it as disrespectful and overly personal.
Afia Schwarzenegger, known for her outspoken nature and involvement in numerous public feuds, responded to the controversy by expressing pride in her work as an Uber driver, highlighting the dignity in labor and her personal financial empowerment. She has also used this opportunity to challenge the stigma surrounding certain jobs, particularly those often taken by immigrants.
