‘‘The ‘fix the country’ thing, obviously it was something I embarked on with Kalyjay and the other people because at the end of the day I have a lot of compassion for Ghanaians, like I see how people are suffering each and every day, we all complain everyday about certain things that is going on in this country so why not use my  platform and you know talk about it, but it got too extreme, it got too political and I didn’t want to go that direction to the point where I started getting attacked , verbally and people calling me, my number was leaked on the internet, people were calling me and giving me threats, my mom was so afraid for my life she wanted me to come back to New York just so I can be safe because she felt like something could have happened to me and you know Africa politics is not as democratic as in the US,’’ she stated.

Although she stepped away from the protest, Efia says she’s willing to rejoin in the future, however in a different capacity.

The actress, who is now focused on a musical journey revealed that she plans to use her ‘‘Odo nti foundation’’ to fix the country in the coming years.

‘‘So, now I’d rather use my NGO to fix the country. So, if there are things that I can do as in providing water to rural communities, tables, chairs, hospital beds, whatever it is I can do to help fix the country, I will, but now attacking the government and stuff, naa. I mean I will still speak my mind on twitter and the direction that we took with ‘fix the country’ I don’t think I will do it again because it got too extreme, ‘’she further expressed.
