Wahab said that even though he is gainfully employed in Canada and sends money home for the family’s upkeep, he wishes to be present to help raise the children, especially his sons.
“Some of my children are quite young. I do not have good periods of sleep in Canada because I am always thinking about my family. Some of my children are young, their mothers alone cannot raise them. Even though they live in my own house, I think about the upbringing of the children, especially the boys. You know it is difficult to raise boys. Even though I have a job in Canada, I am not happy. I do not have peace of mind at all.”

“I used to think abroad would make my life better some years back, but today, I am doing well in Ghana because I am a mechanic, and I always upgrade myself, so I don't even think about travelling anymore. I am building my future right here in Ghana's motherland. Dash me abroad, and I will only go for holidays.”

“So many borgas have regretted travelling. They realised that they were not doing that badly in Ghana. Most people travel because of envy and jealousy. Ghana is the best country in the world."

"He's 💯 right... life abroad is not as easy as most Ghanaians think. Bro Wahab should've visited and seen how things are. Hmmm, it is unfortunate, but with God, all things are possible 🙏."
