Yeboah, a Ghanaian currently based in Belarus, has issued a strong warning to Ghanaians planning to travel abroad, especially those being promised easy access to Europe through Belarus.
Speaking on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide Show with DJ Nyaami, Yeboah explained that although movement from Belarus to some European countries such as Poland is possible, it is not easy and mostly happens during the summer, contrary to what many travel agents claim.
According to Yeboah, many agents in Ghana falsely advertise Belarus as a guaranteed gateway to Europe. He stressed that there is no direct or guaranteed route from Belarus to Europe, and any agent promising a $1,000 job in Belarus is lying just to attract customers.
Yeboah revealed that the kind of work available in Belarus pays far less than what agents advertise. He said he earns about 70 Belarusian rubles per day, which amounts to roughly 350 rubles a week. On average, salaries range between 300 and 500 rubles per week, depending on the job.
“In a good month, you can make about 1,200 to 1,400 rubles, which is around $400 to $500,” he said. “From that money, you still have to pay rent, transport, phone bills, and other expenses.”
He added that most foreigners, including Ghanaians, survive by sharing apartments to reduce costs, sometimes paying around 100 rubles per person.
Yeboah also shared cases of people who were misled by agents. He mentioned a Ghanaian who was earning well in Ghana but travelled to Belarus after being promised a job, only to arrive and remain jobless. According to him, agents never tell the truth about the hardships involved; they only paint a good picture to convince people to travel.
He further dismissed claims that Africans can easily secure high-paying jobs such as painting work. “No Black man is allowed to do painting jobs here,” he said, explaining that such jobs are mostly reserved for locals or workers from Central Asian (Stan) countries.
Yeboah strongly warned Ghanaians not to believe agents who claim migrants earn $1,500 a month in Belarus. “I don’t know anyone who makes that kind of money here,” he stated.
His advice to Ghanaians is simple: do proper research, ask questions, and stop believing exaggerated promises from agents whose main aim is to collect money.
