“In Ghana, I admit, I had money, I was a businessman and in 6 months I could generate GH₵200,000 from my business. Here in the UK that money is around £20,000 and I can't make that money in 6 months so for me that is the disadvantage of coming to the UK.
Quizzed why he opted to travel if he was living a life of comfort, Justice said he was thinking of his family and the future.
He opined that by coming to the UK he is preparing the grounds for his children and family to enjoy a better life one day.
