Life hasn’t turned out as expected for some Ghanaians who left their homeland in pursuit of a better life for themselves and their families.
A Ghanaian man, who ventured to the United States of America (USA) nearly three decades ago with hopes of a brighter future, has now found himself begging on the streets to make ends meet.
In a video that has gone viral, the man can be seen asking a fellow Ghanaian woman in a vehicle for assistance, explaining that he needs money to purchase a belt.
“Please come and help me, I don’t have a place to sleep. And also, things are very difficult for me. I am not mad neither am I a wizard. I look like this because things are not going well.
“I used to live at Kwawu but my village is Nkoranza-Akuma. I have been in America for more than 30 years. I was previously doing well but now things are really bad… I need money to buy a belt, please help me,” he told the woman in Twi.
He went on to share that he had served as a soldier in the US army, but despite his past, he now finds himself with nothing.
Touched by his plight, the woman gave him some dollar notes and pledged to return with further assistance.
