oh my goodness, Derrick has made tears fall out of my eyes; my heart has just been crying through this interview. I am so pleased you have shared your experience - many people are sold the delusions of abrokyi as the land flowing with milk and honey and risk their life to access it. It is clear that God has been with you and guarded you through it all because the outcome for you could have been drastically different and we hear about it here. God bless you for being open and honest. God bless you for your advice to others. People do really struggle here. If you have the funds to pay 'connection man', use that funds to invest in Ghana and secure your livelihood instead of risking your life. May you continue to hold a heart of humility and prosper and help many escape from their hardships - you are already doing that by providing employment opportunities through your business.. Well don and God bless you Derrick. Thank you Dentaa for bringing Derrick's story to us.

Wow...Derrick Owusu, you and l share a similar story. I went to the UK in 1986 and lived there for 9 years. I slept in someone's kitchen for 3 weeks, squatted in abandoned homes for 2 months before things started working out for me. I'm currently in the US and have been here since 1995. Of course my life here started similarly, but for the past 25 years I've been blessed beyond measure. Things have been great here, thanks to the Lord. I'm currently planning to retire and return to a Accra with my American wife in 2022. However, I'll be visiting Accra in April 2021 and I plan on coming to your gym to work out. Looking forward to meeting you and working out, and trading stories about our hardships in the Diaspora. You're right, I would advise all our young men to do their level best to make it in Ghana. If Ghana was what it is now, I never would've left. Living in the diaspora hasn't been easy, but life in the 80s Ghana was worse then. Our beloved country has a lot to offer our young men and women now, so we must tell our stories and encourage them to appreciate it and help build Ghana for the better. I'm coming home next year to prepare to do the same when we finally relocate in 2022.
