Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a UK based Ghanaian known as Yaw Okyere stated during an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa that if one has a good-paying job that enables him or her to save Ghc2,000 (N134,173.20) per month, there is no need to move abroad.

Yaw explained that earning money abroad is not always consistent. There are days one may make more and days that very low income will be earned.

The young man shared that if he had the chance to move back to Ghana, he would have in a heartbeat but he has unfortunately committed himself to a lot of things.
