The man is currently without a job or a stable food supply, following what he describes as a disappointing relocation experience.

According to him, he agreed with a travel agent and paid an amount with the expectation of being sent to Europe for work.

However, instead of being taken to Europe, he was reportedly transported from Ghana and dropped in China, leaving him alone in an unfamiliar environment.

Stranded in a foreign country with no contacts, he was fortunate to encounter fellow Ghanaians in China who have since been assisting him with daily meals and basic support.

The man, who chose not to disclose his identity, has expressed disappointment over the failed European dream and is appealing for assistance to return to Ghana.
