According to her, when the chips are down, you would have nowhere to return to.

“Don’t make those mistakes, unless your reason for coming abroad is something else, not monetary. If it’s the exposure, the experience, international experience and other things. But if it’s for money, forget it. You’re doing well in Ghana. There’s no need because when you come here, you’re going to do menial jobs.”

The video was captioned:

“Not everyone needs to move abroad. If you’re stable where you are, think carefully before leaving everything behind for “better money. Abroad is not a shortcut — it comes with real challenges. Move with clarity, not pressure.”

She added in the comments:

“Maybe, it’s worth it for you because of your situation back home and here plus the route you used plus the opportunities that you were lucky to have here.

“Not everyone has it like that here and some people are actually better off in Ghana than abroad. Abroad is not all that if you ask me.”
