The young man was manually harvesting the ripe apples when he did the video to ask Ghanaians back home to be understanding when they make a request from any relative abroad.
In a video, he said:
"You see the kind of job we do here just to survive? We don't care about the nature of the job. I will not do the job I do abroad."
"This is what I do. So, if you beg me for something and I do not get it for you, don't fuss about it," he added.
The farm hand in Spain further stated that others who are not working back home can rely on relatives to get some money, but that is not the case for those who have travelled.
"Some of you back home receive support from your mothers. Here, you can't go to anyone for help. You only need to work so you can make money."

"We all did that before is not easy, yes, but if you know what you want, just persevere. I always put one thing in mind when I was doing these jobs: 'This is not my home, I am here because of something.' Remember, nothing lasts forever, don’t give up."
