''She asked me to choose between his job and the house. She wanted me to babysit her children and gave me those options. I decided to work, and when I returned, she asked me to go away and later told my brother that I had beaten her.''

Asante claimed his brother refused to listen to him, even though Asante's sister-in-law disseminated false rumours to prevent other Ghanaians from sheltering him.

"My brother refused to listen to anything I had to say. I got a place to stay, but my sister-in-law threatened to report them to the police for keeping an illegal immigrant,'' he claimed.

Asante recalls struggle with alcoholism

He claimed that his brother's wife also cautioned his benefactors that if they kept him at their house, he'd sleep with their wives.

''So I had to sleep on the street, but I didn't enjoy the cold in the winter. I had no choice but to do what the other homeless men were doing: to drink,'' he recalled.

Asante said he became a complete alcoholic and a laughingstock during the stormy period of his life. But life would smile at him.

Germany-based Ghanaian reveals he saves GH¢10,000 monthly

In a previous story, YEN.com.gh reported that Gilbert Owusu, a Ghanaian living in Germany, disclosed that he would only return to Ghana if the job earned him GH¢10,000 ($878.99) or more monthly.

In an interview with DJ Nyaami of SVTV Africa on Daily Hustle Worldwide, Owusu said he would turn down a GH¢5,000 ($439.50) job in Ghana because he now saves more in Germany.

He explained that finding another employment with a comparable salary range may be challenging if he decides to leave Germany.
