Young Boys Advise Ghanaians: “Don’t Travel Abroad, You Can Make It In Ghana"

  • A video of some young boys encouraging Ghanaians not to seek greener pastures elsewhere has gone viral on social media
  • They justified their advice with a claim Ghana has a lot of opportunities which can improve one's life only if they are willing to work hard
  • Netizens who saw the video were divided and took to the comment section to express their views

Some young boys have advised Ghanaians who plan to relocate abroad to rescind their decision. Taking to social media, the boys urged fellow citizens to seek success within Ghana's borders rather than pursuing opportunities abroad.

Their message comes as many young Ghanaians contemplate emigration in search of better economic prospects. The numbers keep soaring as countless people leave the country each year to seek greener pastures elsewhere.

Man abroad discourages lazy people from relocating

In an earlier publication, YEN.com.gh reported that a young man has explained why lazy people should not dare to travel abroad.

In a video, the young factory worker noted that hard work is the major driving force behind success abroad; hence, lazy people have no business being there.

Ghanaians who reacted to the video shared mixed reactions to the man's admonition, with some disagreeing with him.
