Greatman Papa Yaw, a Ghanaian based in Canada, recently appeared on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide Show with DJ Nyaami, where he shared his experiences and offered candid advice to Ghanaians back home.
Papa Yaw, who has become a regular guest on the platform, spoke about some troubling behaviors he has observed among Ghanaians abroad. According to him, many women who are brought to Canada by their husbands sometimes disappear at the airport to join boyfriends who are already living there. He described this as bad behavior and strongly cautioned against it.
He also advised Ghanaians not to rush into relationships on Facebook or be deceived by young women who claim to have businesses in Ghana but only target men abroad for financial gain. “Most of them end up on TikTok, presenting a fake life just to lure people,” he said.
Papa Yaw emphasized that many women are often disappointed when they finally join their husbands abroad. “Back in Ghana, they think we have 10 cars and are living a luxurious life. But when they arrive and see the reality—that the house isn’t as nice as they imagined—they quickly regret and even seek divorce,” he explained.
He further warned older women not to sell their properties just to travel abroad. Sharing a real example, he narrated the story of a 65-year-old woman who sold her house to bring her son to Canada. Upon arrival, she became stranded because the promises made to her were false. “If not for our advice, she might have even harmed herself. Don’t sell your properties just to come to Canada. To get $2,000 CAD here is not easy, and many people end up homeless,” he stressed.
Papa Yaw also discouraged new migrants from keeping only Ghanaian friends abroad, urging them instead to build relationships with Jamaicans, Caribbeans, and Canadians. According to him, most Ghanaians who succeed overseas often distance themselves from the diaspora groups to avoid negative influence.
In closing, he reminded Ghanaians: “Come abroad with the right mindset. Don’t let bad company or the wrong influences destroy the life you and your partner have struggled to build.”
