Felix is a Ghanaian based in Atlanta, Georgia, and has lived in the United States for the past nine years.
Back in Ghana, Felix was a trained teacher. He was posted to teach at Takwa Nsuaem, although he trained at a college in Sefwi Wiawso. Later, he stopped teaching and went into farming. According to Felix, it was farming that changed his life.
In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide Show, Felix revealed that marriage was what brought him to the United States. He explained that he met an American woman online, and they communicated for a long time. Eventually, she traveled to Ghana to meet him. When she visited his farm, she was impressed by his hard work and dedication.
Felix said they agreed that if their marriage was successful, they would move to the United States, raise funds, and later return to Ghana to invest in farming. After she returned to the U.S., she filed immigration documents for him. While waiting, Felix was involved in an accident, but after he recovered, his wife bought his plane ticket and paid for all the travel expenses.
Felix emphasized that when his wife was in Ghana, he treated her very well and did not ask her for money. After relocating to the United States, their marriage later ended in divorce. However, Felix says they are still on good terms and there is no hostility between them.
Speaking about relationships abroad, Felix shared his personal observations, saying that marriage dynamics in Europe and America are different from those in Ghana. He claimed that many couples face challenges, including disagreements over family planning and changing roles in the household. According to him, these issues can sometimes lead to misunderstandings, mood changes, and tension in marriages. Felix noted that he and his former wife did not have children during their marriage.
Felix added that he has not remarried.
Despite the challenges, Felix believes America is a good place to live. However, he strongly believes that the real business and investment opportunities are in Africa, especially Ghana. Although he has not returned to Ghana in the past nine years, he continues to invest back home.
He revealed that he has completed a 22-bedroom hotel project in Ghana and plans to continue investing there. Felix advised Ghanaians abroad to support one another, build healthy relationships, and focus on development rather than conflict.
He also encouraged those living abroad not to look down on Africa, stressing that Ghana has great potential for growth and success.
“Let us invest in Ghana and help build our country,” he concluded.
