In a video spotted by YEN.com.gh, a content creator, Dappyluffa, interviewed a Ghanaian, identified as Paradise, with a question that had many talking.
The interviewer asked the young man to choose between two hypothetical scenarios: receiving $1 million (approximately GH₵10.9 million) in one day or receiving $1 every second for a day.
Man chooses $1 over $1m
He confidently chose the option of receiving $1 every second, believing it would amount to more money.
Dappy Luffa could not believe his answer and asked the question once more, but the man still gave the same response.
Laughing out loud, he decided to explain further by asking how many seconds are in a day. The interviewee failed to provide a definite answer.
For reference, receiving $1 every second for 24 hours would amount to $86,400 (GH₵942,000), making the $1 million option significantly better.

According to him, while the million dollars would seem ideal, the certificate could offer him more later in life.
He also argued that the money may lose its value in the coming years, but the first class would allow him to receive more than the initial GH₵10.9 million.
