In an Instagram video that has sparked reactions online, Samuel, a driver with over five years of experience, shared the difficulties he has faced since relocating to the Southeast Asian country.
“When I had the opportunity to come here, I was in a hurry because I did not have a job back home. I thought things would go well, but it has not turned out as I expected, and I want to come back home,” he explained.
Samuel indicated that he has already contacted the Ghanaian consulate in Malaysia, which has promised to assist with clearing his overstaying in Cambodia. However, he emphasised that he requires a plane ticket to return. He has therefore appealed to capable Ghanaians and relevant authorities to help him make the journey home.
In the video he shared with a local blogger, Samuel provided a mobile money (MoMo) number for donations: 0247677908, under the name Samuel Reginald Baidoo. He also provided his Cambodia contact number: +855 9682 02370, for anyone wishing to reach him directly.
“Please help me get back home safely,” Samuel pleaded.
The story has drawn widespread attention on social media, with many expressing sympathy and calling on relevant authorities to assist him in returning safely to Ghana.

Woman shares disappointment in Ghanaian abroad
Also, a Ghanaian woman has expressed her frustration after a fellow countryman, identified only as Asiedu, charged her $600 to sleep in a shared kitchen abroad.
In an Instagram video, the woman, whose name was not provided, explained how the shared kitchen is divided by curtains to offer some privacy, yet she was asked to pay the steep fee of $600 per month.
“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.
This incident highlights growing concerns over high accommodation costs, even in shared spaces, and has sparked discussions about the ethics of charging for minimal living arrangements.
