YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a Ghanaian man, Kojo Antwi Boasiako, has granted an interview with Zion Felix TV where he opened up about his journey towards becoming a personnel manager of a company in France with over 500 employees.
In the interview, Kojo recounted that he left Ghana in 2003 at the age of 21 after his uncle invited him for a stay in France.
Prior to that, he used to work at Fox FM in Kumasi as a show host.
Things took a different turn upon arrival in France as life became very difficult, Daniel revealed.
As far as he was concerned, he was to continue schooling but that was not the case.
"For eight good years, I cried daily especially when I thought of all the things I could have achieved if I had stayed in Ghana", Antwi Boasiako said.
