Raymond Shares Insights on Traveling to Japan and Exposes Fraudulent Practices Among Old “Borgas”
On the Daily Hustle Worldwide Show hosted by DJ Nyaami, founder of SVTV Africa, Raymond—one of the show’s regular hosts—delivered a candid discussion about life in Japan, the challenges of traveling abroad, and the deceptive practices of certain individuals in the Ghanaian expatriate community.
Raymond revealed that some long-term Ghanaians living in Japan, often referred to as “old Japan Borgas,” are fraudsters who exploit unsuspecting individuals trying to migrate abroad.
These individuals claim to own businesses or have connections to secure visas but often dupe people out of significant amounts of money.

Citing examples, Raymond highlighted the case of Mr. Gyamfi, a jobless man in Japan who allegedly took $8,000 from a victim under false pretences.
“Mr. Gyamfi can’t pay back the $8,000 because he’s broke. He used the money to ship a container instead of helping the victim,” Raymond said.
He added that others, like a man in Indonesia, have similarly swindled people, including nurses and other professionals in Ghana.
Raymond emphasized that individuals seeking to travel to Japan or any other country should avoid entrusting large sums of money to intermediaries.
Instead, he advised building a strong bank statement and managing the visa application process independently.
“If you have $8,000, don’t give it to anyone to help you travel. Use it to process your own visa and secure your financial credibility,” he urged.
He also pointed out the importance of researching reliable platforms for job opportunities, such as Craigslist and GaijinPot, which offer sponsored jobs for professionals like teachers, plumbers, electricians, and mechanics.

These roles often come with visas and legal work permits, making them a safer and more legitimate path to relocation.
According to Raymond, Japan offers opportunities for those willing to work hard, but it’s not without challenges.
He shared insights about the labor market, highlighting the demand for skilled workers in sectors such as construction, factories, and teaching.
However, he noted that some Ghanaians in Japan engage in illegal activities, including prostitution, which tarnishes the reputation of African expatriates.
“Cameroonian women in Japan work hard, while many Ghanaian women resort to prostitution, often disguised as massage services,” Raymond lamented.
He also commented on cultural biases, explaining that some Japanese employers view Africans as unskilled due to language barriers and lack of preparedness.
Upcoming Expo in Japan
For those interested in traveling to Japan, Raymond recommended attending an upcoming expo that provides networking opportunities and insights into job prospects.
“Buy your expo ticket through the official website and prepare thoroughly before traveling,” he advised.
Raymond concluded by encouraging aspiring travelers to take control of their journey and avoid falling victim to fraudulent schemes.
“If you have $8,000 or $10,000 in Ghana, consider starting a business instead of traveling blindly. Save your money, plan well, and learn about the country you’re travelling to.
Don’t rely on anyone to ‘help’ you—most of them will only take your money.”
Raymond’s insights serve as a wake-up call for those dreaming of life abroad, reminding them to be vigilant, well-informed, and self-reliant in their pursuit of better opportunities.
