Ghanaian politician and Group Chairman of Hasnita Travel Consult, Hassan Ayariga, has claimed it is easier for one to make a million dollars in Ghana than to make $100,000 in the U.S.
According to Hassan Ayariga, Ghana offers better chances for growth, arguing that migrants often struggle more outside.
Hassan Ayariga detailed that in one’s home country, there are a lot of opportunities from classmates, schoolmates and colleagues who can help.
Speaking in a video shared on X by The 1957 News, Hassan Ayariga stated, “It is easier to make a million dollars in Ghana than to make $100,000 in the US.“Do not destroy your future by going to the US”.
“Your country is where there are a lot of opportunities. That is where your classmates, schoolmates and colleagues can help you grow,” he said.
“In a no man’s country, you don’t know anybody. You cannot just jump and expect success,” he stated.
He added, “Ghana is a virgin country. The US is an old woman. What is there to get from an old woman?”
“It is because we don’t know what we have in this country,” he added.
He further added that travelling abroad should be for tourism or short visits, not job hunting.
“You go there to spend money, not to look for jobs,” Hasan Ayariga stated.
Hassan Ayariga made these remarks while advising fans travelling to the US for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to return after the tournament.
He revealed that some embassies refuse to issue visas because some applicants are unwilling to return home after the tournament.
In other news, Hassan Ayariga has detailed three things he described as cardinal principles to becoming rich in life.
Speaking to 1957 News in an interview shared on social media, Hassan Ayariga highlighted prayerful, hardworking, and sincere as the three things one needs to become rich.
Hassan Ayariga stated, “The way is three things: prayerful, hardworking, and being sincere and honest. If you follow these three cardinal principles, there’s no way you will be poor. You have to be prayerful; even the devil cannot stop you.
“If you’re not prayerful, the devil will interrupt; if you’re not hardworking, you’ll become lazy; and if you’re not sincere, people will do business with you and run away,” he stated.
“School is a gateway to knowledge, to understanding, to being in the world. You educate yourself not because it’s going to give you money, but because it’s going to open your mindset and let you understand the figures. Business, however, is the way.
“For business, you don’t have limited resources; you can make money unlimited. But school has some limitations. That is why we believe that empowerment must come with job creation,” he explained.
