Quizzed why the German government does all these things, Abigail opined that the main goal is to ensure that the children will grow to become useful citizens who contribute to the development of the country.

The single mother said she doesn’t let the allowance and social benefits get her swollen-headed as she works hard to ensure that she is able to provide for the needs of her family.

Ghanaians share their opinions on the video of Abigail Frimpong

Netizens who reacted to the video expressed amazement at how supportive the German government is when it comes to helping its citizens.

Others also clarified that these benefits only apply to people who have legal documentation to live in the country

Maraaba:

The 2700 is not just free money, it pays rent and other utilities as well as the children's needs. So at the end of the day, there is not much left.

Gifty Grimmelikhuisen:

Many years someone asked me about the social system and benefits i explained everything to her , she later left her husband and went in the system that''s here in holland

Mavy's Lifestyle:

I think is because she is a single mother that's why she get lots of benefits. For the kids money everyone has right to it but there are some benefits if u ain't a single mother with low income you won't qualify.
