"I was doing my masters at KNUST and I was working as a Bolt driver at the same time. On days that I didn't go for lecturers, I could work for 18 hours and earn less than 200 cedis as profit."

The young man added that now that he lives abroad, he takes delight in reciprocating that hard work especially as he knows that his toil will not be in vain.

"Now that I am working here, I can't say I am tired. In fact, when I was working in Ghana I wasn't earning enough money so now that I am here, I will gladly work and die abroad than work in Ghana," he said.
