A Ghanaian woman has elaborated on her intentions to relocate from Ghana to the US for greener pastures.

"I am the first person who wants to travel outside of Ghana. I want to relocate with my children to the USA. The Ghanaian economy is not favourable. I have four children. Taking care of them, education, and other things makes the system so difficult for me."

Hajia said she spends almost GH¢200 every morning on her triplets and the other child before they leave for school.

She said some of the morning expenses are breakfast, transportation to school, packed lunch and snack, and classes fees for all four children.

When she was asked if she was aware it was not easy abroad as well, Hajia said she preferred to relocate because the system works better.

"I agree it is not easy in the US too. But over there the systems work. When I work and pay taxes I will have some to fend for my family. In Ghana, parents are just suffering."

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that a Ghanaian man living in the United Kingdom said people who earn enough money in Ghana should not migrate.

In his opinion moving out of Ghana for greener pastures is meant for relatively poor or jobless people in the society.

Yaw Owusu said people travel to have a better life, and if one has that already in Ghana, there is no need to move out of the country.
