A Ghanaian living in Germany said it is better to earn an appreciable amount of salary in Ghana and enjoy the freedom than to make so much money abroad where there are many restrictions.

Abdul Razak said moving from Ghana to Germany has been very beneficial to him and his family, but there is little to no freedom.

In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Abdul Razak said people living in Ghana enjoy some freedom that those abroad, especially in Germany, do not have.

He revealed that because of the freedom that he loves in Ghana, he plans to return to Ghana someday.

“I prefer Ghana to Germany now. Before I came here, I was so anxious. But now I want to go back. Ghana would be like heaven if the citizens were paid well. The freedom is important."
"It is better to stay in Ghana, where you earn €500 (GH¢6166), than make €1500 (GH¢18,503) in Germany and feel restricted. Freedom is more important than money,” Abdul Razak added.
