Ghanaian Man Regrets Selling House And Car To Travel To UAE: “My Agent Deceived Me”

• Francis, a Ghanaian, sold his three-bedroom house and car for GH¢25,000 to move to the UAE, believing an agent’s promise of a $1,000 monthly job
• Upon arrival, he discovered that the job didn’t exist and was left to find his way, staying in a shared room with bunk beds
• Realising his mistake, he returned briefly to Ghana to secure a proper work visa and decided to give life in the UAE another shot

UAE-based Ghanaian Francis shared his story of regret and resilience after selling his three-bedroom house and car for just GH¢25,000 to fund his move to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

He revealed the challenges he faced in pursuit of a better life abroad, guided by the advice of a friend who doubled as an agent.

In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, he recounted how he was lured by his agent's promises of a job in Dubai with a monthly income of $1,000.

The agent's claims seemed enticing, and Francis didn’t bother to research or inform anyone about his plans before embarking on the journey. Believing in this opportunity, Francis sold his assets at a bargain price and paid $1,000 for a visa.

Upon arrival in the UAE, Francis quickly realised that the reality was far from what he had imagined. Instead of a comfortable job and accommodation, he found himself in a shared room with bunk beds. The lucrative job promised by his agent never materialised, leaving him with a sense of regret and frustration.

Francis said he returned to Ghana within two weeks to process a proper work visa. He shared that returning to his former life in Ghana was not an option, and he chose to take another chance in the UAE.
