A Ghanaian lady living in Canada has declared her intention to return to Ghana after staying abroad for some years.

The lady mentioned that she was seeking asylum in Canada, but the conditions and cost of living were overbearing.

In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, the lady indicated that even though she has a job, she's not able to save often due to the taxes and living expenses she needs to pay for monthly.

The lady stated that her husband, who is in Ghana, was initially against her intention to return home. However, after several conversations and planning, her husband understood and agreed for her to come back.

"DJ what the woman is saying is not true because if you are asylum seeker and you are been paid by the Government, when you get a job you have to tell them you have a job now so they should stop paying you that money but if you continue to take and still get paid for your job, they will see it later and take all their money back from the time you started working."

"I came to the U.S. with nothing, but I didn’t give up. I started at a community college, worked my way up to a 4-year university, and earned my doctorate. Through hard work and discipline, I’ve built a life I’m proud of—investing in stocks, saving for retirement, and acquiring real estate assets both in the U.S. and Ghana. Education and persistence can truly change your life. Never underestimate what’s possible."
