London GH, also known as Fante Brother, is a Ghanaian bodybuilder currently living in the United States. A returning guest on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide show with DJ Nyaami, he opened up about his journey from Ghana to the U.S., life as an immigrant, bodybuilding achievements, and lessons learned abroad.
London GH offered a strong warning to undocumented immigrants in the U.S.: “If you don’t have papers (nkrataa), stay focused. Don’t waste your time chasing women, partying, or clubbing. If you’re illegal and get caught, even being married to a citizen might not save you. Citizens by naturalization can also face deportation under certain conditions.”
He explained that under Trump’s administration, deportations were expected, and even some who voted for him faced harsh consequences. “If you’re deported from the U.S. as a Ghanaian, unlike those from neighboring countries, you can’t easily return,” he said.
He advised staying in smaller towns or countryside areas where immigration enforcement is less aggressive. “Don’t put yourself at risk just for attention, parties, or gym selfies. Focus on building a real future,” he cautioned.
London GH came to the U.S. to chase his bodybuilding dreams. “Back in Ghana, I was a bodybuilder and competed in Mr. Ghana. When I moved to America, I didn’t forget my dreams.” He joined a gym, adopted a strict diet, and began competing in bodybuilding championships in Missouri.
His dedication paid off. He won multiple awards, including two 6-inch gold medals and an 8-inch trophy as the overall winner in national-level competitions like MPC Nationals and MPC Pro Qualifiers. His next goal? To earn his pro cardand compete in Mr. Olympia.
Before leaving Ghana, he worked as a teacher and later opened a gym, but his earnings never exceeded GHC 20,000. “In the U.S., I make way more. I also used to be a bodyguard for ministers in Ghana, and we were paid poorly — sometimes only GHC 100 per month, even while risking our lives during land disputes.”
Now in America, he works with a company that produces fire-resistant materials and also earns from bodybuilding and security work. “Being a bodyguard in America is well-paying — unlike Ghana, where even ministers treat you like you’re nothing.”
London GH praised his wife, a Black American woman, for her loyalty and support. “She’s exceptional — not loud or wild like the stereotype. She brought me to America and even married me in Ghana. Nobody forced her.”
He emphasized the importance of honesty in immigrant marriages. “Some people deceive the women who file for them, get their green card, then use their money to build houses back in Ghana. That’s betrayal. If she finds out, she will divorce you.”
Despite his success in America, he remains deeply connected to Ghana.
“I’ve spent two years in the U.S., and I plan to return after ten. I haven’t even seen the sea since I got here. The real enjoyment is in Ghana. If I make $200,000 or $500,000, I won’t hesitate — I’ll go back to Ghana immediately.”
London GH’s story is one of discipline, ambition, and staying true to one’s dreams. He encourages others to pursue their goals without losing focus, respect those who support them, and never forget where they come from.
