'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.
