Source I woke up this morning and something has been battling my mind since. Well, I'm not a fan of so call TikTok, well the reasons are strictly up to me. But then I woke up this morning to hear about this Track By Lade Titled Adulthood Na Scam. Today isn't the first time hearing this tune, but this is the very first time giving more attention to the lyrics.

Some Portion of the lyrics Ah, Adulthood Na scam, you better get um for your mind You gat to hustle, making a living 24/7 Nobody go ask you if you don chop Nobody go give you free money If You no get,na you sabi Adulthood na scam

Growing up, we all had our aspirations and we again thought our parents were the richest. Upon growing up, I now know, they were forced to make sure we don't lack anything. I'm very glad for the kind of parents I had, even though they were not rich but always there to support my dreams.

Now the baton is really in my hands to continue the race for myself.

Indeed the lyrics touched me this morning, I called a friend of Mine today this morning who has been teaching for the past 5years now. Well, the Teacher Unions in Ghana are on strike and I wanted to know the brain behind their strike. He gave me all the details about the strike and how things are difficult being a teacher here in Ghana. He lamented so much about the working conditions which of course is not favorable for them. We talked so much and this aforementioned song came in. Indeed Adulthood Na Scam😅.

So the question I'm asking my fellow Hivers here is, Is it True Adulthood Na Scam?😀 It has been years now since I completed University and am still not employed. Is disturbing leaving in Ghana and not leaning on any income. Many people will testify to this.
A graduate In Ghana recently have to advertise himself through this medium to get his problem solved. Where have we gotten to? Is Adulthood a Scam? Looking at the various challenges that confront us in adulthood, is really disturbing and heartbreaking.
