Ghanaian Teacher Chooses Columbia Over US: “I’d Only Go To US If I’m Paid $7k”

• Ghanaian teacher Davis Kwakye, living in Columbia, prefers staying there over moving to the U.S. due to his comfortable job with benefits.
• He stated he'd only consider the U.S. if offered a job paying $7,000 or more monthly.
• Kwakye emphasized that success depends on what one makes of their situation, not just location.

A Ghanaian teacher living in Columbia said he would choose to stay where he is than move to the United States of America.

Davis Kwakye said he teaches English in an international school in Columbia and makes enough money to support himself.

In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Davis Kwakye said he would only consider moving to the USA if a job paid him $7000 or more monthly.

“Several Africans, including Ghanaians, go through Columbia to the US. I can’t do that. I have a working permit and also a permanent residence.”

Davis Kwakye said that besides his salary, he enjoys other benefits, like free accommodation, which makes him very comfortable.

He believes where one lives is not as important as what one makes out of it.

“America also has poor people. I won’t leave my job and trek to the US. I’d rather go there if I get a job offer from there that pays $7000 to $8000 monthly.”
