In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Abdul said he's always wanted to travel abroad, but his preferred country was Spain or Japan.
"I always wanted to travel outside Ghana. I really wanted to go to Japan or Spain. However, no matter how I tried, it didn't seem possible. So a friend recommended that I try the UK."
Abdul indicated that even though he was living well in Ghana, he travelled to the UK on a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) visa.
The CoS visa is a secure, digital record issued by a licensed UK employer that proves you have a valid job offer. It provides a unique reference number you must enter when applying for a UK work visa, such as the Skilled Worker visa.
According to Abdul, he paid a huge amount to travel, but he has not got a proper job. Abdul said he has been in the UK for two years but has no job or money.
He said that travelling abroad has taught him that he was living a better life in Ghana.
"Abroad is just a show. Only cameras. If I get a job to save for about six months, I will buy a ticket and return home. I just need my ticket and a little amount of money so I can return home."
