Therefore, she left her job at the radio station in 2021 with the intention of working to earn enough money.

However, when she got to Germany, she learned that the easiest way to become a citizen was to give birth to a citizen. Afia Fabregas also realised that the Ghanaians in Germany were downcast.

“When I reached Germany, I noticed the Ghanaians there were lonely. I also learned the only way for me to be a citizen was to give birth. Several men I knew gave me this option. They would often tell me that they wanted to help me, and what they meant was that they wanted to impregnate me.”

Afia Fabregas said her two weeks in Germany were emotional and she cried daily.

“I cried all the time for those two weeks, and then I made up my mind to return to Ghana to start over again. It was not an easy decision neither was the journey.”
