In an interview with SVTV Africa, Appiah Donkor said that Ghanaians above 40 years should not move out of Ghana in search of greener pastures.

He explained that it takes a while for migrants without the needed documents (work or staying permits) to get them. Per his calculations, it means a middle-aged person will waste some productive years chasing his documents.

“I believe the best age to travel is 20 years to 40 years. If you are above 40 years old, I won’t advise you to travel. Even if you migrate through marriage, you would have to work. It is better to start a business in Ghana than to travel abroad."

"If you are 45 and get your documents at 50, your knees may have started hurting already. You’d have to start life afresh and work 10 hours to survive. So if you want to travel, leave early,” he encouraged.
