A European man living in Ghana has taken to social media to advise African youths against relocating abroad in search of greener pastures.

The unidentified European man suggested that Africa is a better place to live and earn money than Europe.

"Ever since I came to Africa, many Africans have come to me and said they would pay me thousands of dollars for me to help them go to Europe. I haven't helped a single person, and I'm not going to. Ask yourself, if Europe is so fantastic, why am I here? Does that make sense? If my own place is so fantastic, why would I be here?" he asked.

He further questioned why Africans would prefer travelling to Europe to seek a better life when they could stay in Africa and build the continent.

"If you have thousands of dollars that you want to give to me to help you go there, why don't you use that money to set up a business here in Africa?" he further asked.
