Ghanaian YouTuber Wodemaya shared a video of a flip flop and the cost of slippers which are a common wear for most people in Ghana.

When he shared the price alone, many wondered why the flipflop is so expensive.

The video shared by Wodemaya on Facebook showed that the flip flops, popularly called ‘chale wote’ in Ghana, cost $4,590.

Charle Wote was a white one with two blue braces. It was in a display case and someone, probably an attendant, picked it up to show it to the camera.

The person showed the flip-flops from different sides and angles and pressed to indicate their thickness.

Wodemaya shared the video because people are tagging him in the video and he wanted to know why. His legend read:

“Even?? Why are people tagging me here 🤣🤣”
