Ghanaian in the U.S. Shares Experience and Thoughts on New Deportation Rules

Ghanaian-born Edmond, who resides in Fargo, North Dakota, recently shared his experiences living in the United States and his reaction to the new deportation rules introduced by the U.S. government.

Speaking on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide with DJ Nyaami, Edmond reflected on life in America, his journey from Ghana, and his long-term plans.

When Edmond first arrived in the United States in 2016, he had an encounter with the police.

He got pulled over for speeding, but surprisingly, the officer didn’t issue a ticket.

He wondered if the officer didn’t give him one because he thought they might not have proper documents.

The officer stopped them to check their documents, but no further action was taken.

Edmond is originally from Kumasi and attended Kumasi High School before going to training college.

After completing his training, he waited for his national service posting, but never ended up working in Ghana.

He and his sister, who is the eldest, were raised together, and she has always been a great source of support for him. While waiting for his national service posting, Edmond got a connection to travel abroad.

He mentions that he never struggled while in Ghana and lived with his uncle after finishing training college. His uncle helped him with the connection that allowed him to travel to the United States.

Edmond shares that if you’ve lived in Accra and attended school there, once you come to the U.S., it won’t feel drastically different—it’s mainly just a change in environment. He stayed home for six weeks while awaiting his documents.

After some time working, he realized that moving to America isn’t a small feat.

He visits Ghana every year to work on various projects. If he achieves his goals in Ghana, he plans to stay there and not live in the U.S. for much longer.

He emphasizes the importance of doing projects at home, so that in case something happens, you’ll have something to fall back on. While his body lives in America, his spirit is in Ghana.

Edmond also touches on the challenges of adapting to the health system in the U.S. He says that living abroad changes your body and immune system, making you more vulnerable.

For instance, something as simple as a mosquito bite could lead to serious health issues because your system has changed.

He points out that many people don’t use social media to promote agriculture in Africa, even though he follows agricultural progress in Kenya.

In the U.S., he says you can set personal goals and targets, but if you’re not focused, the system will change your mindset and delay your plans.

His main focus is on agriculture, livestock, and crop production. He believes the future of Africa lies in agriculture.

Despite living abroad, Edmond has never bought a car outright; instead, he’s always financed cars through loans with monthly payments.

He notes that many Africans living abroad tend to adopt a flashy lifestyle, which prevents them from focusing on projects and can waste their resources.

Edmond has lived in Columbus Ohio, and Fargo, North Dakota, and finds that the cost of living in North Dakota is lower, especially when it comes to accommodation. However, he mentions that many Black people are moving away from the cold weather in these areas.

Currently, he lives in an apartment and is working hard to secure funding for his projects.

He believes that the opportunity America has given him, particularly in the mechanical field, has been beneficial.

However, he emphasizes the importance of using the money wisely and investing in things that will benefit long-term projects.
