"Eiii life abroad can really humble a person paa. Big props to the brother who stepped in to help. Mr Bentum, may God open doors for you and give you strength. This too shall pass. Safe lands, brother."
@mr_kwabla said:
"Whatever the reasons behind his wife's actions, this should be a wake-up call. We need to stop acting like life abroad lasts forever. Build your own house, business and secure your future in Ghana while you have the chance. If life in the diaspora fails, you should be able to return home to dignity, not to the streets."
