A now-viral video sighted by YEN.com.gh on X showed the young man staring at the uncompleted house.
Looking distraught, he lamented that he had travelled to the United Arab Emirates in search of greener pastures.
During his stay in the Gulf country, he opted to start a housing project and began sending money to a person he trusted.
According to him, during his seven-year stay in Dubai, it never occurred to him to doubt whether the money he often sent was being used for the house project.
"He often sent pictures showing an area which had been tiled, making it seem as though the house project was nearing completion."
He could barely keep his cool as he moved around the uncompleted building, realising that not only had the person squandered the money, but he also used inferior materials for the project.
With a look of dejection, the young man could be heard saying that he invested his savings into the project, hoping he would return to Ghana to have his own abode.
"Now I don’t even have money to rent a place. All this has happened because I am not around, so he can do whatever he likes."

Reactions to relative squandering house money
Ghanaians who took to the comments section of the video shared words of encouragement with the young man, while others also urged him to get the person arrested.
@princearthuruk added:
"He’s even lucky they did something for him."
@Elikem130410 stated:
"Chale, if this story is true, then the owner has a problem. How can they send a small portion that has reached plastering level and you didn’t ask for a full video? Like how? Is it a goat pen? If it’s even foundation, they should send a full video."
@AkataLondon added:
"Very, very lucky. I’ve spent 16 years in London and I don’t even have something like this."
@snow_blvk added:
"How can you tell me this story? How is someone doing a project for you but you never got to see the full view of it? If he deceived you with different pictures, that’s another story."
@bena_cuna disclosed:
"Same story everywhere. People never learn; they would rather be victims."
