Alfred said he first left Ghana in 2010 for South Africa where he stayed for over five years and schooled before returning home in 2016.

After returning home, the Ghanaian man said things did not work out for him so he had to relocate to the Netherlands, where he stayed for four years before moving to the US two years ago.

Opening up about his life in the US, Alfred said he feels more comfortable in the North American country than in his motherland.

He further disclosed that his current job as a forklift operator fetches him enough to live comfortably.

When asked by DJ Nyami if he would return home when offered a job that paid GH¢20,000 a month, Alfred said he would reject it, saying that he earns GH¢22,000 per week in the US.
