Man quits lucrative job, travels to Canada

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that a Ghanaian man left his job in his homeland and travelled to North America in search of greener pastures to support his family.

Kweku, who is in his 40s, said he was working as a heavy equipment operator with a top mining firm, earning between $750 and $800 a month before moving to Canada.

In an interview with DJ Nyaami, he said even though he was doing well financially, an agent encouraged him to travel since he could earn more working overseas.
