UK-based businessman advises Ghanaian youths
UK-based businessman Zoro King has urged Ghanaian youths to relocate abroad to seek greener pastures.
According to Zoro King, a wealthy car tyre dealer in the United Kingdom, life abroad offers better opportunities than in Ghana.
Speaking to a content creator, the businessman, known in private circles as Sean Solomon Frimpong, said it was difficult for individuals from poor homes in Ghana to succeed in the country.
He therefore advised the youth, especially those without well-paying jobs, not to hesitate to travel abroad when an opportunity arises.
When asked if one could make it in Ghana, Zoro King said it was possible, but extremely difficult.
Expanding further on his claims, the car tyre dealer said salaries earned in Ghana are negligible, making it difficult for people to live comfortably in the country.
Zoro King moved out of Ghana after senior high school and hustled his way through many jobs to establish his car tyre business in the UK.
Aside from his business in the UK, Zoro King also owns several hostels and fuel stations across Ghana.
He is currently in Ghana to commission his newly completed mansion at Kumasi in the Ashanti Region. Below is the video of Zoro King's interview with the content creator.
