The advertised jobs were for shop attendants. However, Mr Happiness said he would not apply for such a job and would prefer his cleaning job.

He said he has more freedom as a toilet cleaner than as a shop attendant at Lidl or Vomar.

“This Supermarket, Vomar, is searching for workers. If you are 21 years and above, you would receive €17.74 an hour. Lidl is also offering the same amount. Even if you dash me this job, I do not like it because there is no freedom. You will stand for long. So I prefer cleaning the toilets where I can even sleep at work.”

Netizens comment on available jobs abroad

Several people who saw the video on social media commented. YEN.com.gh collated some comments. Read them below:
