A young Ghanaian woman has become a social media phenomenon after posting her joy over going abroad, a move that resulted in her skipping her necessary national duty. Her narrative, documented in a TikTok video, has sparked reactions and congrats from netizens.
According to YEN, the lady, known as Bella Jacinta, shared a video about her migration. In the video, she is shown blissfully enjoying her beauty and exuding enthusiasm for her new chapter. Her caption revealed that she was initially assigned to a basic school for her one-year National Service but decided to prioritize her relocation plans instead.
The video cuts from Bella's proclamation of ending her service to scenes of her at the airport, indicating her departure from Ghana. At the time of writing, the video had over 900 likes and 11 comments, with many praising her for making the daring decision to relocate abroad.
Social media users shared their thoughts in the comments area, with many complimenting her on her success. Laura Boateng said, "Safe flight ooo," and Mekina joked, "You better come back, and let's do the NSS together oo." Others, such as Miss Frimpomaa, expressed real satisfaction at Bella's achievement, stating, "Awww, baby, happy for you."
However, several questioned her decision to leave National Service. One user, Yaw Dwarkwaa, asked, "Congrats, dear, but wouldn't it have been better to have completed your service first?".
Bella's tale resonated with many young Ghanaians seeking better prospects abroad. While some welcome her decision, others believe it was a squandered opportunity to fulfill a national commitment. In a separate case, another young Ghanaian woman expressed concern about her experience as a National Service member. She complained that some workers at her posting took advantage of service members, treating them like errand runners.
Bella's voyage overseas illustrates Ghanaian youth's multiple objectives, which include reconciling societal expectations with personal dreams.
