Detailing what led to his current predicament, the middle-aged man indicated that he initially lived in Spain but could not secure the necessary documents to be a legal resident due to his failed marriage with his wife.

He claimed that the collapse of the marriage affected his quest to secure legal residency, especially after his ex-wife allegedly decided not to assist him with legalising his stay.

Bright was therefore ostensibly kicked out of his home by his ex-wife, a situation that caused him to relocate to Germany for a fresh start.

In an emotional plea, the Ghanaian man made a passionate appeal to his fellow compatriots in the country, opening up about his readiness to listen and take any advice that would help him get back on track.

He expressed hope to make things right so he would be able to adequately provide for his family back in Ghana.

"To every Ghanaian watching me in Europe, I need good ideas, so anyone who wants to advise or help me, I am open to advice," he said, looking sad.

Other distressed Ghanaians living in Germany have also begun voicing their concerns and sharing their grievances.

Recently, a young man, Kingsley, went viral after he made a video expressing his desire to return home after opening up about how his failed marriage allegedly ruined his life and plans in the country.
