A stern message comes from Ama Koranteng, a Ghanaian U.S. Army officer, as she advises the country’s youth against hasty journeys abroad, cautioning that life in foreign lands is not as glamorous as portrayed online.
In an interview, Ama highlights that the lives of Ghanaians abroad, as seen on social media, are often embellished, and the reality is that many are facing significant challenges to make a living.
Her advice to the young people of Ghana is not to pin all their hopes on traveling abroad for success, as the path is far from easy and survival can be tough.
