The pastures are not all green for some Ghanaians who travel abroad for a better life for themselves and their family.

One Ghanaian man, who travelled to the United States of America about 30 years ago in his search for a better life has now resorted to begging on the streets to survive.

In a viral video sighted by GhanaWeb, the Ghanaian can be seen begging a Ghanaian woman, who was in her vehicle, for help.

He could be heard telling the woman that he needs money to buy a belt.

“Please come and help me, I don’t have a place to sleep. And also, things are very difficult for me. I am not mad neither am I a wizard. I look like this because things are not going well.

“I used to live at Kwawu but my village is Nkoranza-Akuma. I have been in America for more than 30 years. I was previously doing well but now things are really bad… I need money to buy a belt, please help me,” he told the woman in Twi.

He also said that he was a soldier in the US army but now he has nothing.

The woman handed over some dollar notes to him and promised to come back with more help.
