A Canadian-based Ghanaian has encouraged certain categories of Ghanaians to leave the country in search of greener pastures.

The man said that considering the cost of living in Ghana, some people must rather travel abroad so they can make a living.

In a video shared on X by @sikaofficial1, the man said people who earn less than GH¢15,000 as a monthly salary should move away from Ghana.

He often wondered how people who earn below GH¢15,000 every month survived in Ghana, considering the current cost of living.

He explained further that even those abroad cannot live on such an amount, considering their monthly financial obligations.

The man also advised Africans, especially Ghanaians abroad, to remain focused on the reason they left their home countries for another.

He indicated that Ghanaians and other Africans who travel searching for greener pastures must put their needs before their wants.

"I can see a phone and say I want it, but I do not need it. If you travel abroad, your needs must come first so you work towards them. For example, you need legal documents so you can stay in the country; you need a job and money to pay the bills. You want luxurious things which can wait."
