He also advised those in Ghana who were struggling to find means to travel abroad where there were many opportunities to make life more enjoyable.

He cited himself as an example, saying that after moving to Germany, he had been able to build houses at Trassaco and Kumasi, where he is originally from.

He further went on to state that he was able to finish building a seven-bedroom house with his salary from his first month of work in Germany.

Moving on, the German borga encouraged many to try very hard to relocate abroad to change their destinies because life abroad was very good.

"With my first month's salary when I moved to Germany, I was able to buy a 10-plot land. When you are headed towards Asanteman, just opposite the Asanteman school, you will see a very tall seven-storied building: that building is mine. There are vast opportunities when you relocate abroad. I am sometimes baffled when I hear people in Ghana are living off between GH¢ 3,000 and 5,000 monthly."

He added, "I have been able to build many houses at Trassco and in Kumasi, where I am originally from. It is sad to see young ladies and men who have rich certificates but are left to do menial jobs just to make ends meet. My advice to you is that if you have the means, travel outside and make a better life for yourselves."
