Ghanaian actor and comedian Akrobeto has shared how his decision to stay in Ghana instead of relocating abroad positively impacted his life and career.

In a video, Akrobeto explained that he had the chance to move overseas. He narrated how his friends who had left Ghana encouraged him to join them, promising to help him find work. He said they argued that the opportunities abroad were far better than those in Ghana, where they believed the chances of success were slim.

However, Akrobeto sought advice from his pastor, Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka. According to him, the apostle advised him against leaving, saying that he would prosper more if he stayed in Ghana. The actor said he trusted this counsel and chose to remain in his homeland, which eventually paid off.

Today, Akrobeto is one of Ghana's most successful entertainers, with a flourishing career in television and comedy. He highlighted that he is now doing better than many of his friends who left Ghana to seek greener pastures abroad.
