A popular Ghanaian TikTok star based in the UK has sent out a word of caution to his fellow countrymen and women seeking opportunities to relocate abroad.
The TikTok star, identified on his socials as Doctor, advised her fellow citizens against travelling abroad with sponsorship visas, otherwise known as Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS).
Speaking to DJ Nyami of SVTV Africa fame, Doctor, a soldier in the British Army, said many immigrants in the UK who travelled with CoS have regretted their decision.
According to him, many of the people who paid huge sums of money to secure CoS to move to the UK are struggling to find their feet.
'Any Ghanaian listening to me, if you buy anyone's CoS, I say this to the glory of God that when you get here your life will be miserable," he warned.
"90 per cent of Ghanaians who bought CoS are now jobless in the IK," he added.
Consequently, Doctor further warned Ghanaians planning to seek greener pastures abroad to be wary of travelling agents who promise to help them secure sponsorship visas.
Doctor's advice comes on the back of several reports of Ghanaians and other immigrants in the UK struggling to secure jobs because the CoS they travel abroad with is questionable.
