In a video on X, the young man said he lived in Tse Addo in the Greater Accra region when he was in Ghana and had a friend in the neighbourhood whose mother was fond of him.

He added that he told the woman of his plans to travel to further his education and asked for her bank statements to add to his visa application documents.

However, the woman discouraged him from travelling and advised him to rather stay in Ghana and study.

“You do not listen to every advice given to you. When I was in Ghana I lived in Tse Addo. I had a friend whose mum loved me so one day I told her I wanted to travel to further my education and asked her to help me with bank statements. The woman discouraged me from travelling and told me to rather do my Master’s in Ghana.”

The man said he saw the woman’s child in Germany who was also doing her Master’s.

“Today I was in Frankfurt when I heard someone shouting my name. It was the woman’s older child. She told me her entire family relocated to Germany about a year ago and is doing her Master’s”
