Emmanuel Wilson, a UK-based Ghanaian, has shared his challenging journey in the search for greener pastures abroad.
According to him, he first travelled to the Netherlands after selling his car and house in Ghana. Emmanuel’s decision to sell his house and car was driven by the need to provide for his children after divorcing his wife. However, he could not get a job in the Netherlands due to the language barrier.
The man spoke about his experience during a Zoom call.

Living experience in the UK
In an interview with SVTV Africa, Emmanuel said following a friend’s advice, he relocated to the UK but found himself sleeping at a train station for four months after his initial host refused to pick him up. After four months, his host finally provided shelter but confined him to a room for three weeks.
Emmanuel said even though he has stayed abroad for 22 years, he has not achieved any significant milestones in his life. He has yet to complete a house in Ghana as a replacement for the one he sold to fund his travels.

Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG earlier reported that a US-based man, Eric Owusmu, revealed that he sold one of his houses in South Africa and moved to the US for security reasons, not financial limitations.
Despite success in South Africa with four salons employing 30 people, earning $4000 weekly, he left due to safety concerns for foreigners.
Owusu’s decision to relocate, leaving his South African wife and child, was influenced by the perceived risks and insecurity in the country.
