I have been living in Ghana for five years

In an interview with YEN.com.gh, @defunnyboytv explained that he has lived in Ghana for five years and has reached the conclusion that it is possible to be successful in the country.

"I have been in Ghana for 5 years now. Yes, traveling abroad is not a guarantee of success. Though there are better opportunities in some countries, when you check well, you will realize that the richest men in Ghana and in Nigeria are not living abroad. Traveling to the UK or USA for professional work is fantastic, but spending GH¢150,000 to go to the USA or UK when you don't have a profession is unwise to me. A lot of people are doing fine in Ghana.
