In a YouTube video, Dassy Jenny shared the struggles she faced during her deportation and her determination to rebuild her life from the ground up.

Her deportation, according to her, came after overstaying her permit, following the denial of her application for an extension.

Upon arriving in Uganda, she had no money and was able to manage only with the support of friends who came to her aid.

Fortunately, Dassy owns a two-room building in her home country, although it remains unfurnished. This has provided her with a place to sleep and relief from landlord disputes. However, her living conditions have raised concerns about her ability to fully settle and restart comfortably.

Despite the challenges, Dassy expressed gratitude for the support she has received and emphasised her determination to rebuild her life after years abroad.

Ghanaian couple deported from Sweden

The quest of a Ghanaian couple to seek greener pastures in Sweden has hit a snag after they were reportedly deported.

They were found to have not met the requirements for living and working in the country, and were instructed to return home.

Dorcas Dadzie, a Ghanaian resident in Sweden, disclosed in an interview with SVTV Africa.

She explained that it all happened after the man and his wife had moved to Sweden as a student couple.

Upon completion of their studies, the woman was fortunate to get a job but was told her immigration status did not allow her to work in the country.

She was therefore informed that they needed to return to Ghana and apply for the job from there, if they wanted to return to Sweden.

Dorcas also raised concerns as to whether the woman and her husband would be allowed back into the country for the job she was offered.

"There are a lot of people in the country who are willing to do those jobs, so I doubt they would be offered visas to come here to do that job."
