In a powerful and thought-provoking interview on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide show with DJ Nyaami, social commentator and advocate Obeng Darko delivered a bold message to Ghanaians living abroad.

Obeng Darko, known for his unapologetic honesty and deep passion for African progress, did not mince words as he unpacked the silent struggles many Ghanaians face outside the country. While he emphasized that he is not against traveling, he made it clear that he is against the mistreatment and dehumanization that often comes with uninformed migration.

“Even abroad, many of our people are lost in the system,” he said. “They left Ghana thinking all would be well, only to find themselves trapped in cycles of debt, depression, and disappointment. We need to change our mindset—not just our location.”

According to Obeng Darko, the glorification of traveling abroad has created a culture of silence and shame. Many migrants suffer in silence, enduring harsh working conditions, racism, and mental stress, while painting a different picture to their families back home.

“Why are you struggling abroad and lying to family back home?” he questioned. “Some have been there five years without a stable job, yet continue pretending. It’s time to learn something new. It’s time to rethink.”

He challenged Africans to stop begging and start thinking—to embrace knowledge, entrepreneurship, and a purpose-driven life. “You don’t need a job to make income,” he insisted. “It’s a mindset shift.”

On the issue of dependence, Obeng Darko advised against relying heavily on family abroad, especially when relocating.

“Rent a room and start life,” he said. “Don’t depend on your siblings who are already struggling. It creates tension, and in most cases, it doesn’t end well.”

He further urged migrants to reconnect with their roots and maintain respect for themselves and their homeland.

“Respect yourself, know your home,” he said. “Don’t sit in the cold abroad and suffer in silence. There’s another way.”

In his closing remarks, Obeng Darko emphasized the need to associate with people who build—not those who only complain.

“Join those who started something. The real disability is in the mindset. Going abroad without purpose is dangerous. Seek knowledge first.”

His message serves as both a warning and a wake-up call: before you celebrate leaving Ghana, understand the system you’re entering, and more importantly—understand yourself.
