Daughters refuse to go home to Ghana

The girls, without hesitation, told their mother outright that they were not going to relocate to Ghana for whatever reasons she was giving.

One of the girls, taken aback, asked if their mother was trying to act funny by suggesting they leave Italy for Ghana.

They said their decision not to return to the West African country was due to the lack of amenities like potable water.

"We are not going; you cannot force us. You are even funny, we will not go to a place where there is no water," the girls told their mother.

At the time of writing the report, the video had raked in over 600 likes and 23 comments.
