In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, the lady indicated that she was always anxious and stressed while living in the UK, and that made her decide to return home.
"I was always anxious and stressed in the UK. My blood pressure was always high. I did not want to get a stroke before they bring me to Ghana. People are dying in the UK. Where I used to work in the UK, several people always complained."
"Many discouraged me from returning, but the stress alone made me decide that I would return home. I returned to my village up north. I am in a single room with only one mattress, but I am happy and content. I prefer to be free rather than to live a stressful life."
The lady said she was a teacher in Ghana before leaving for the UK. She was hopeful that she would be employed again by the Ghana Education Service (GES).
"I am hoping GES will employ me again as a teacher. If not, I used to sell sobolo, so I will go back to my business. The sobolo business funded my university education at the time."
The lady encouraged other Ghanaians abroad who want to return home to do so for their sanity.
