Obeng Darko is a well-known Ghanaian influencer and educator who continues to inspire and enlighten many Ghanaians in the diaspora. He is also a regular guest on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide show with DJ Nyaami, where he shares insights on migration, relationships, and personal development.
According to Obeng Darko, married couples must remain vigilant and work hand in hand. In Ghana, some women may feel suppressed, but once abroad, when they gain a certain level of advantage, they sometimes mistreat their husbands. He stressed the importance of unity in marriage, regardless of location.
He further advised Ghanaians abroad, especially those who have studied or worked with foreigners, not to blindly imitate everything from Western culture. Many people respect foreigners’ words without question but disregard their own countrymen. This, he said, often leads to misplaced priorities and broken relationships.
Obeng Darko emphasized that Africa is not poor, despite being labeled a “third-world continent.” He argued that 95% of Africans are not salaried workers but instead run their own businesses, build houses, and take care of their families without relying on credit systems like in the West. While many abroad live on credit and claim success, those in Africa who live within their means are equally, if not better, positioned.
He encouraged Ghanaians to explore opportunities around them instead of chasing unrealistic dreams. Even small businesses like taxi driving, poultry farming, or street food vending can grow into bigger ventures if started well. He warned against selling properties just to pay dubious agents for “connections” abroad, as this often leads to huge losses.
According to him, many problems are self-inflicted due to poor decision-making. For instance, giving large sums of money to relatives without first testing their reliability leads to exploitation. He advised starting small, monitoring trustworthiness, and scaling gradually.
Obeng Darko also criticized the overconsumption of unproductive entertainment. He noted that spending countless hours watching non-educational movies and shows leads to wasted potential. Instead, he encouraged Ghanaians to focus on learning skills, self-development, and meaningful ventures that add value.
He concluded by urging people not to depend solely on government or religion to change their lives. Real progress, he said, comes from personal responsibility, discipline, and wise choices.
