Bishop Sam Owusu and Cadman Mills
Dr. Cadman Mills, an economist and brother of former President John Evans Atta Mills, has criticized Bishop Samuel Owusu, Senior Pastor of the Pottersville Church, over a statement the pastor made regarding how much money a 25-year-old should have in their bank account.
Speaking on Onua TV on Thursday, May 1, 2025, Bishop Samuel Owusu stated, “At the age of 25 years, you should have at least GH₵25,000 in your bank account.”
The pastor’s comment has sparked mixed reactions from the public. While some agree that young people can work and be financially secure by age 25, others argue that expecting a Ghanaian youth to have GH₵25,000 at that age is unrealistic.
Commenting on the issue via the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, Dr. Cadman Mills, a former World Bank Macroeconomic Sector Manager, strongly disagreed with the pastor’s remarks and questioned the basis of his assertion.
He urged the pastor to stick to topics within his area of expertise.
“Says who? Please stick to the spiritual realm. At the age of 25, I was a Ph.D. student struggling to make ends meet on my graduate student stipend. I was not a failure then, and I am not a failure now,” the former Senior Presidential Advisor wrote.
