Abroad remittances in Africa
He said that contrary to many things, those in Africa only needed extra cash, and they could also work for their pay.
In his words:
“Why are you paying someone’s rent in Africa and you are squatting in Africa? You are placing someone on salary while you are struggling with two jobs.”
He said that if things go wrong, the same person one has been trying to help will be the first to mock one’s misfortune.
