In the video sighted by YEN.com.gh, the lady, based in the US, said she can't struggle in the cold weather abroad to fend for anyone in Ghana, adding that she is looking out only for herself.

The US-based woman told SVTV Africa's DJ Nyaami that she had even changed her contact details to prevent her relatives in Ghana from reaching out to her for help.

"...I don't want anyone to burden me. No one sent me abroad, even the person who brought me here had neglected me, and so I won't allow anyone to burden me with their financial demands," she stated.

The woman further suggested that there had been many instances where people she had helped back home in Ghana failed to appreciate her effort, adding that she was no longer going to waste her time and resources on her family members.

"Some of them, when you send them money, you have to call them to check if they got the money. They won't call you to appreciate the help that you offered them," she added.
