"Up until the time I moved abroad, I didn't even have GH¢10k in my bank account," Yaa Nicky said.

The former radio show host, after comparing her life in Ghana to the US, said she preferred leaving everything behind to find her feet abroad.

"Anyone who would tell you life abroad is not profitable, flee from them. I haven't been here for more than a year, but look at me. I wouldn't be like this if I were still in Ghana," Yaa Nicky said.
"I am at peace. I have comfort. I'm able to get the opportunity to work, and after all the stress, you'll get the benefits," she added.
