Quitting his job

He quit his work as a driver and moved to live with his brother at Tema in the Greater Accra Region, with the hope of securing employment at the Tema Oil Refinery, where his brother was working.

Despite several attempts to land a job, his efforts did not yield a positive result. Presented with an option of relocating from Ghana, Ben heeded the counsel of his brother's wife to travel outside the country to advance his chances of achieving his much desire for a better life.

The journey

In an interview with Zionfelix, Ben recounted that he had to sell his taxi to finance his voyage to Italy through the Libyan sea.

Before embarking on the journey, he moved to the Brong Ahafo Region, where he sold his taxi for GHc45,000.
