A Ghanaian man has said that Ghanaian who are not able to save between GH¢3000 and GH¢4000 monthly should consider travelling abroad.

The man detailed that GH¢10,000 will be enough for a single man in Ghana, but not a married man without his wife adding up.

Speaking in a viral video shared on X by SIKAOFFICIAL, the Ghanaian man stated, “If you’re in this country and cannot save GH¢3000 to GH¢4000 monthly in Ghana, you should consider travelling abroad. If you can pay everything in a month and save GH¢3000 to GH¢4000, you are okay; you can progress in this country.

Before I saidGH¢15,000 but if you manage things and your salary is GH¢10,000, it is not bad. If you are single, GH¢10,000 is okay. You can spend GH¢6,000 and save GH¢4000”.

He further added, “But if you are a married man and you take 10,000 cedis without your wife also contributing 10,000, it is not enough. If there is a chance for you to travel abroad, I will tell you to take it.

Marriage also takes a lot from Ghanaian boys. There are a lot of red flags in a relationship that people must know. If you are going to take a lady abroad, when you are in a relationship in Ghana, you will know if the lady is good or not, so when you get abroad, you do not need to bring her along”.

Ghanaians reacting to the man’s remarks stated, “Where’s Abrokyire? Why do we allow this nonsense and misinformation to fester? When they speak of abroad, which country is he referring to exactly? Before, among our people, it used to be Western Europe and Northern America. Now the Middle East is in the play in recent times. Is that the mindset he’s speaking with? Forgetting that any other country apart from your native country is abroad, and therefore Togo is also abroad”.

Another netizen added, “He speaks as if it’s rosy for all Ghanaians who travel. I don’t think anybody is against travelling to work and making some good money out there, given the opportunity, but painting a general picture which might not be possible for some is unrealistic.

Of course, some make more than that, and others also wish they had never gone”.

“I just love how he put it, he said, ‘abrokyire setti ah, ‘ meaning don’t put high hopes in wanting to travel, but if the opportunity presents itself. Take hold of it and travel”, a netizen added.

A netizen added, “Think of something better, like entrepreneurship, or some wonderful initiative for the youth!

Abroad where? In the countries where rent alone is $1500–2500/month, and you need $10k–20k+ just to show proof of funds, how is someone who can’t save GH¢3000 here suddenly going to save 5–10× more there? Math no dey add up o”.

“If the opportunity presents itself, why not?

But if you don’t get the opportunity, don’t force it, as it gets difficult living abroad without proper prep and documentation. You’re just gonna struggle to settle in, no matter the country you find yourself in”, a netizen added.

One more Ghanaian wrote, “How much does government even pay??? Talk about newly recruited personnel, such as nurses, Teachers, and security services. Even though they have been there for 5-10 years, how much is their take-home salary

Then, with this analogy, about 90% of the youth have no future”.
