- Moving from Ghana to Uk - A Ghanaian's shocking experience in UK
My name is Mickey... I am one of those ambitious African youths who thought building your dreams in Ghana and Africa as a whole was near impossible so migrated to UK in search of greener pastures.
But in 2019, with the launch of the Year of Return; an initiative by the government of Ghana intended to encourage African diasporas to come to Africa (specifically Ghana) to settle and invest in the continent; I was proved wrong...at least so it seemed on TH-cam.
Finally, the hidden potentials of Ghana, the former Gold Coast and the gate way to Africa has been unearthed. But then I started making videos about Belize and the sort of messages and comments I've been receiving from local Ghanaians youths has filled my head with a lot of questions.
So in this video I share the shocking experience of a Ghanaian living in UK.

Thanks for such moving documentary. I hope this mind find peace and a good job.
Thanks very much my friend. Yes he is good now.
Damn that was hard to listen to.
As someone born and raised in the UK I’m disgusted that happened here and so glad the authorities let your friend stay.
It’s hard to believe, as someone so disappointed and upset with what has happened to the UK over the last few years, that Ghana is so bad anyone wants to leave to live here. But I do believe it.
It’s so hard to work here and do well now. And I would like to know which UK shop he was working for!
The thing is, there are opportunities in Ghana but one need capital to exploit them...which can be a bit difficult to raise. Though there are few problems in UK, it is good for raising capital (with discipline ) and catching new ideas.
An absolute disgrace, absolutelyrics disgusting how this man was treated. This should not happen, someone trying to create a better life for himself. Mickey great platform to bring this to light. Keep up the good work my brother.
Thanks very much bro for the feedback. You are very right. This shouldn't happen but unfortunately there are more stories like this out there where people take advantage of undocumented migrants.
Blessings bro
Same to you.
AJ am glad you did this interview.
Gh too much injustice bro i was a victim to that
Hmm I feel your pain bro. I pray God lift you up.
I came here as a 6 year old child raised and schooled here now a pensioner and realised that I was just a high level debt slave good job progress to small business owner paid of the mortgages on home and business had my pension stolen for 6 years and came to the realisation that I was now surplus to requirement and the objective is to kill me so as not to pay out on that pension that I paid into from 15 years old knowing that I cannot at my age trust to attend a doctor let alone a hospital if I value my life I have come to the conclusion to sell up get my money and run I can go abroad buy a small house enjoy some GMO free food/sunshine and add about 20 to 30 years to my life
Scary but true we are not safe as elders our nice medical personnels are our murderers in old age
Wow...a very interesting submission. Is there a way I can communicate with you away from here. I have a lot of questions about whether it is a good idea to grow old in the west or to move back to our home country. This is for my personal education. Is it something you will be interested in? Thanks for your comment.
@@MickeyAgyei yes my story should serve as a warning for those who think the grass is greener in the West
My parents now deceased were of the Windrush Generation the Jamaican middle class that came here armed with their qualifications in the mid 1950’s that was deem inadmissible and became England’s working class
@@evonnejames6548 Oh ok. I think I get where you came from. Please message me on 00447710417437 if it's possible and I will call you.
Aahhhhh...Mickey & wifey, you've certainly made my day!!!😂😂😂 I didn't grow up in a compound hse but in the gov't estates. Hoever my hubby did, & I also had friends & cousins from such homes. I must say I could really relate your experiences to most of my extended family members. I just mentioned to my daughter that l bet you were childhood sweethearts and hey presto!!😂 U said it.🤦🏾♀️ WOOOW!! I'm far older than yourselves, but our experiences weren't that far-fetched from yours. 😂😂😂. V well done for doing this video. Perhaps, you shd consider going to the estates too like Kwadaso, Asawase, North & South Suntreso & others, to show how those communities also lived. We also had our own idiosyncrasies, i.e., family network, attachment figures & friendship ties; not excluding the juicy konkonsa ooo😂😂😂. Also it'd be great to compare & contrast your experiences with the likes of those living in the nearby estates & your little rivalries. Great shout out to your grandpa for leaving such a legacy! His memory lives on in you all. And what a lovely wife you hv, with such a captivating smile!! No wonder you fell head over heels in love with her❤😊 Mmo..Mo ayɛ adeɛ paa. Onyame nhyira mo beberee😂🙏🏾😇 From a social Auntie!!!!🤞🏾👌🏾👍🏾👏🏽
I don't know why your comment brought tears of joy to my eyes. I'm definitely going to try and go to nearby areas to bring back memories. Thanks very much for taking the time to comment. It gives me more energy to probe more. Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Oh wow
Yep.
I wish I’ll get the chance to share a similar story. How do I reach you?
It will be an honour to share your story. Please message me on Instagram @mickey_agyei. Thank you.
Redflag, let me save your money for you, and you're an adult--so many people that feel they would come to the West from other areas of the world, find themselves entangled with people who profess that they will help them when those peoples only intend to help themselves (unfortunately family is no exception)
Yeah. It's just different when you are an undocumented adult with no bank account.
@@MickeyAgyei You're better off putting your money in your shoe because they know how hard you have to work for the money and have no problem with taking it from you; it's even more devasting with a family member does it to you. I've heard so many stories like this
@@wendyreal247 Yeah very true. The fraudsters are aided by the fact that most payments has to go through a bank account of some sort.
@@MickeyAgyei Stories like this and stories of people from the West sending money back home to family and others to help them re-establish themselves back at home, and the monies being misused are plentiful. It is sad that far too often as a people, some force keeps us away from truly being our brothers' keeper. Imagine what a difference it would be if people made these promises and honored them
@@wendyreal247 A lot of difference will be made. But unfortunately, there is a rot in people.
as harsh as it sounded, i'd rather risk anything than be in Ghana, kai
Bra wei lol
But I feel you bro.
Please go. And curse yourself not to return to GH EVER
Wow slave mindset
How Is this fustrating nd sad....smh....he was just not lucky and he is in no position to advice whether to travel or not...like I always say,some people will still suffer even when u take them to heaven...how do you even ask if ghana is better than london...no profession pays better in Ghana done london ...from football to doctor to the cleaner...so why do you even say this .....just say if you are travelling without proper documentation dont come....but to generalize it is soo mischievous and deceitful because every profession u hold in Ghana if you can hold that same profession in london your life will be far better....yes I know it's not easy abroad...but at least you can pay your Bill's if you work....in Ghana ur salary cant even pay your Bill's....guys shut up and work pls....and travel with papers ....
Thanks very much for your contribution.
Hmmm its well bro.
It is.
