This, according to him, demonstrated the respect people in Ghana have for folks living and working overseas.

"I have landed in New York, and because I'm here now, all my friends who did not like me have started sending me texts on WhatsApp. In fact, all those who were not talking to me while I was in Ghana have texted me because they think I have now made it in life," he said.

The New York-based Ghanaian man further said that being in the US feels like heaven, adding that it takes the special grace of God to travel there.

Consequently, Kelvin expressed his profound gratitude to God for granting him the favour and opportunity to relocate to America.
