“Eii Asiedu, why will you do this? I cannot even say that I knew you before,” she said, sharing her disappointment.
She further lamented the high cost, saying, “Ghanaians are wicked. Why will you charge humans sleeping in the kitchen $600?”
The video has since gone viral, generating widespread reactions on social media. Several viewers have shared mixed opinions on the fairness of the fee and the challenges faced by Ghanaians living abroad.

Man abroad weeps after visiting supposed mansion
Meanwhile, a young Ghanaian who was hoping to come home to a plush mansion has been left heartbroken after uncovering what he came to meet.
It turns out the person he entrusted to build him a house in his absence did not use the money sent for its intended purpose.
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."
At the time of writing this report, the video had gained over 10,000 views and 20 comments.
