Due to this, the young journalist said he was unable to experience the country as he would have wished.
In the video sighted by YEN.com.gh, the Nigerian man sounded disheartened over his inability to try some of the Ghanaian dishes.
"I enjoyed my stay, but I couldn't express myself well. I can't go to places I want, I can't eat better Ghanaian food. So this is the reason, my Naria. Using my 1,000s to change to a lesser cedis, is making me feel crazy. Like my own 1,000₦ is GH¢10. So I could explore the way I wanted to," he said.

"You can't move from Nigeria to Ghana and enjoy life; it's the other way around. Make money in Ghana and enjoy it in Nigeria. It's like moving to the UK with Cedis."
