Known on TikTok as @t.ipee, the young man posted a video of himself standing at Montréal–Trudeau International Airport, where he explained that some Ghanaians become stranded immediately upon arrival.
He said this could happen due to several factors, such as delays in being picked up at the airport and even disappointment from loved ones who promised help but failed to show up.
In this vein, he has taken it upon himself to frequent the airport, offering immediate assistance, which he says can go a long way to help them.
He opened up on how new entrants are often interrogated by airport officials, especially when there is suspicion that accommodation could become a problem.
“This is me at the airport, and I often come to the arrivals area hoping to see a Ghanaian. When I do, I give them a ride and drop them off. You have to assist each other here because it is not easy. Some people come in and are deported because the person meant to pick them up failed to show up.”
