Popular Ghanaian-American-Liberian movie actor and comedian Michael Blackson has already conquered the comedy world, giving us skit after skit that made us appreciate his creative genius.
He is now set to take over the world in a different way: building schools in both his home countries of Ghana and Liberia.
On Friday, in a short tweet, the comedian tweeted “Liberia you are next”, few days after he commissioned a school in his hometown (Nsaba), a community in the Central Region of Ghana.

Fans have started suggesting the areas the comedian should start with;
Hello, Mr. Blackson.
I appreciate your generosity to build an Academy in our country, Liberia 🇱🇷.
In this light, I would like to offer you the land space (and deeds) in my hometown; Monweh, Rivercess County.
Thank you for your consideration 🙏— Abel Oscar Zeegar (@zeegar_oscar) January 13, 2023
Many other fans have praised him for his endeavour and have wished him the best.
Micheal Blackson, joins many other African, African American celebrities investing in education. Other celebrities who have invested in education in Africa include Samuel Eto’o, Masai Ujiri, Serge Ibaka, Didier Drogba and Bismack Biyombo, French Montana, Serena Williams, Lil John e.t.c.
Education in Africa is still one of the underdeveloped sectors, and although new data indicates that literacy levels have increased many factors still impede education including conflict, poverty, and infrastructure.
