A Nigerian who resides in Ghana has urged Ghanaians to appreciate their country and pipe down on their quest to seek greener pastures abroad.

In a video spotted by YEN.com.gh on TikTok, Mr Onomski wondered why Ghanaians are running away from a country doing relatively better than most of its peers in West Africa.

"Una dey run comot una country, when Nigerians dey run dey come. Make una behave oo because very soon una go dey hear, Ikechukwu Kwame, Afolabi Mensah na una go dey hear because the speed wey una dey take comot this country e no good ooo," he cautioned.

The number of Ghanaians seeking opportunities to relocate abroad for greener pastures has doubled over the last few years due to the harsh economic conditions prevailing in the country.

Despite the situation in Ghana, Mr Onomski believes many from neighbouring West African countries are facing far worse conditions, urging Ghanaians to value what they have.
