"I have valid Italian documents, but I'm planning to go back to Africa. Leaving your family to come and live an isolated life is not life. I want to go back to Africa to restart life and go into farming. If I had all the machinery for farming, I wouldn't have come to Europe. I have four tractors and other machinery. I have sent everything."
The man, who had spent seven years in Europe, said he hopes to spend more time with his children and wife when he returns from abroad.
"There's no place like home. I want to see my children and my family back in Ghana. How can this place be home? Europe is not heaven."

"My brother is absolutely right. At this stage of life, this man is no longer young, and responsibility should be his guiding principle. When someone has a wife and children, their priority should be building and protecting their family. While it is understandable for a young person to focus on money with the belief that circumstances will change over time, that justification no longer applies in one’s fifties. At this age, the true measure of success is the stability and presence one provides to their spouse and children, not the continued pursuit of more wealth. Choosing money over family so late in life raises serious questions about values and purpose, because no amount of income can replace the absence of a meaningful family life."
