“I earn 32000 euros a year. However, I spend over 28000 euros on bills. So for the whole year, I have 4000 euros left. You will wonder how I survive. I survive on credit cards and part-time DJ gigs. It is what keeps me going,” DJ Kofi said.

He added that when people in Ghana hear that those outside the country earn amounts such as his or more, they do not ask for details on bills and taxes. He said immediately people see such salaries, they want to relocate abroad so their earnings go up too.

“Immediately someone in Ghana hears how much I earn in the Netherlands, he wants to travel without getting details of how I spend the money,” DJ Kofi said.

He said only some people must travel out of Ghana to make it or live a fulfilled life. DJ Kofi conceded there is no written rule that one must travel before one excels.
