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.
A video that has gone viral indicates that the individual in question is from Techiman. Patrick Tebi was the name that he mentioned.
The one who was filming the footage requested anyone who might know him to come forward and offer assistance to him, especially his family members in Ghana.

55% children considering a move abroad scary – CRI
About 55 per cent of children in Ghana foresee a bleak future and are planning to leave the country by 2040, says a study published by Child Rights International (CRI).
The respondents cited jobs, education, and better standards of living elsewhere as the reasons for wanting to migrate from the country.
The survey focused on the expectations of some 11,288 children between the ages of 12 and 17 in all the 16 regions of Ghana.
About 48% of the sampled population represented females while 52% represented males.
According to the report, 94% of the children stated that they were worried about getting a job in the next two decades.
The report furthered that 56% of the doctors trained in Ghana and 24% of the nurses trained in Ghana were now working abroad.
