"After I realized that an opportunity had come for me to travel to the UK, I told my mother to give me the land document for safekeeping. I immediately sold the land for ¢90,000 and used that money to process my visa."

The University of Education graduate said he only told the family about it when he was about to travel.

"My dad was happy about it, but my mother was very angry. After some time, she forgave me with the condition that I buy a land for the family when I make money."

Wodaada, who has been in the UK for four weeks now works as a caregiver and is hopeful that he will redeem the promise he made to his mum.

Lazy people should not travel

Earlier YEN.com.gh reported that another Ghanaian man raised eyebrows on TikTok after he advised people who are lazy to drop the idea of travelling abroad in search of greener pastures.

The man, who works as a factory hand in a fruit packaging warehouse, said the key principle of success abroad is hard work hence anyone without that attribute should not bother travelling at all.
