The queen mother of Kwahuman in North America said any youth from Ghana who relocates abroad has a much higher chance of succeeding because they could go to school to seek knowledge which would help them to make good money, unlike the older folks.

"When you travel abroad in your 40s, or 45s, by the time you get your documents, work and figure your life out, time would have far gone, but I know that it's possible for older people who travel and make it," she said.

"When I meet people in their 20s whose parents have brought them to abroad from Ghana, I advise them to go to school. As we say it abroad, what you learn is what you earn, and so it would help you a lot if you go to school," she said.
