A young Ghanaian man has said he regrets travelling to the United Arab Emirates with the aim of going to seek greener pastures.

Speaking in an interview with SVTV Africa on YouTube, Kwabena Brown said he was deceived by the person who facilitated his travel to the oil-rich country.

He added that he was living in good conditions in Ghana until he decided to make that journey.

“I was selling rubber bags and that is how come I was able to fund my trip to Dubai. I was able to save 27,000 cedis from that job and I paid 9,000 cedis to the agent who facilitated the trip. I also used the money to prepare for my trip".

“When I got there and I wasn’t getting a job, I became envious of my friends anytime I saw them post on social media, I became sad anytime I looked in the mirror because I realized things were not right.

Kwabena said his saving grace came when his brother facilitated his travel back home after hearing of his plight.

“For me I will advise that if you have a relative there who doesn’t have a job help him to come home
