Eugene said he first left Ghana for Malta to start a new life and search for greener pastures.

In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Eugene said he was connected with some people in Malta, which is why he made his first move. He added that the individuals he met helped him to get a job.

Eugene subsequently moved to Germany. He said his salary for just two hours in Germany was more than his GH¢5,000 monthly salary in Ghana. He added that he can take care of his family back home.

“I left my GH¢5,000 salary job as a procurement officer in Ghana to seek greener pastures abroad. I am able to support my family now and they are happy. I sacrificed everything for my people.”

“I earn more when I work for two hours in Germany compared to working in Ghana. My daughter completed High School and I can now fund her university education because I work abroad. It would have been difficult if I had stayed back in Ghana," he added.

Eugene said that even though the relocation was not easy because of the language barrier, he would not discourage anyone who wanted to travel abroad.

He advised people who want to move to Europe on the countries.

“If anyone wants to travel to Europe, I’d suggest they go to Italy or Spain. It’s easier to get legal documents there. In Germany, it is difficult for migrants to find office jobs. Most migrants work as cleaners.”
