UK-Based Ernest Ameyaw Effah Shares Emotional Journey to Reconnect with Childhood Mentor “Bra Oge” After 20 Years

In a heartfelt interview on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide with DJ Nyaami, UK-based Ghanaian teacher Ernest Ameyaw Effah opened up about his personal and professional journey—from the struggles of starting over abroad to his ongoing search for a childhood mentor he hasn’t seen in two decades.

“I’ll never forget Bra Oge,” Ernest said, recalling the man who treated him like a younger brother while they lived in Berekum. “He used to drive a judge named Asaase. He looked after me, clothed me, and cared for me during my early years. I still remember the impact he had on my life.”

Ernest moved to the UK in 2023, hoping for a better life, but quickly realized things weren’t as easy as he imagined. “I thought coming here would solve all my problems, especially financially. I believed I’d pay off all my debts quickly—but it’s not that simple,” he admitted.

With 12 years of teaching experience in Ghana, Ernest now teaches in the UK but says the transition hasn’t been smooth. “Even teaching here comes with its own hurdles,” he explained. “Life abroad is structured, yes, but without proper documentation—nkrataa—survival becomes a challenge.”

He contrasted life in Ghana with that in the UK: “Ghana can learn a lot—like good road infrastructure, consistent water supply, and efficient emergency services. These are basic things that make a big difference.”

Ernest also reflected on personal relationships. He once shared a room in Ghana with a friend who now also lives in the UK, but their bond has faded. “We barely talk now. Coming abroad really tests relationships,” he said.

He emphasized the importance of mindset and support systems when migrating. “If you don’t have the right mindset, focus, and a strong host, life here can break you. If you’re lucky enough to have someone to support you, be grateful.”

A former side hustler and part-time farmer back in Ghana, Ernest advised fellow teachers and youth not to rely solely on salaries. “In Ghana, depending only on your salary will make you struggle. You need something on the side.”

As the interview wrapped up, Ernest made a touching appeal: “If Bra Oge is out there watching or someone who knows him sees this—please tell him I haven’t forgotten the love and kindness he showed me as a boy. I’m still grateful.”
