Stephen Yeboah, a regular guest on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide show with DJ Nyaami, has once again shared his candid thoughts about life abroad and in Ghana. Stephen Sees UK as a “hand-to-mouth” system—where one works hard and spends just as fast. However, he later returned to Ghana, set up his own electronics shop, and started building a stable life.
In a recent video, Stephen revealed that he had traveled back to the UK just two weeks ago. He stressed that Ghana remains his home and expressed hope that the government will implement policies to make the country more economically flexible for its citizens. He acknowledged that the Ghanaian cedi had recently appreciated against the dollar and commended the Bank of Ghana for their efforts.
He criticized those who constantly insult Ghana, especially when the economy struggles. “If the dollar keeps rising, it could hit 50 cedis, and that wouldn’t be good for anyone. We all want Ghana to thrive,” he said. He urged Ghanaians to be patient and support local initiatives, noting that “everything successful starts small.”
Stephen emphasized that many people are doing well in Ghana and that the loudest critics are often those who own property in Ghana but pretend the country has nothing to offer. “These are the same people who say Ghana is trash, but they come back to enjoy their hard-earned properties,” he said.
He condemned the mindset that one must sell land, houses, or cars to travel abroad. “It’s foolish to tell someone to sell everything just to go abroad. When we were building in Ghana, do they know the hustle we went through?” he asked. He added that it’s senseless to abandon everything just to chase uncertain dreams abroad, especially when Ghana offers business and growth opportunities.
Stephen also pointed out the irony that some people in Europe have been there for 15 years and are only now able to build a four-bedroom house, yet they suggest others should sell their homes in Ghana to follow their path. “I live in Ghana like I’m in heaven,” he said proudly. “Many of those who badmouth Ghana can’t even afford a plane ticket home.”
He warned against glorifying life abroad, saying many Ghanaians are quietly suffering in the UK and other countries. “Some will suffer until death without achieving anything. Yet they discourage others from believing in Ghana.”
He concluded by encouraging people to stop looking down on those involved in agriculture or small businesses in Ghana. “If someone is farming in Ghana, we assume they’re poor. That mindset needs to change. Don’t let anyone deceive you.”
