Elderly Woman in UK Shares Deep Reasons Ghanaians Don’t Like To Help Fellow Citizens Abroad

• An elderly woman living in the United Kingdom (UK) gave reasons why Ghanaians abroad hesitate in helping their fellow citizens abroad
• According to Big Mama, several Ghanaians who receive help from their fellow citizens end up betraying their helpers
• Ghanaians who watched the video on social media thronged the comment section to share their varied thoughts on the matter

Big Mama, an elderly woman living in the United Kingdom (UK), explained why many Ghanaians abroad do not like helping their fellow citizens abroad.

According to Big Mama, when she arrived in the UK, she lived with her aunt, who treated her well. She indicated that, contrary to how others suffer when they travel abroad, she had an easier lifestyle.

However, Big Mama indicated that due to the issues that arise after some Ghanaians receive help, many have decided not to assist their fellow citizens again.

"There are people you will host in your house, and then they later betray you. Others will also report you to the authorities. Some will also spread false and negative rumours about you after you have opened your doors to them."

In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Big Mama, despite the bad character of some of these people, still helps people, but from a distance.

"I have been raised to be a helpful person. I have compassion, and so I still help people despite the wrongs some have done to me. I still help people, but I do it from a distance."

"I will show you the ropes on how to settle and make it in the UK. However, I will not keep you close to me. I also do it with no expectations. I encourage others who want to help new Ghanaians abroad to do the same," Big Mama added.
