This is a news site and if you cannot harbor what comes up, just get lost. Do you think Spain is heaven or what?

A Portuguese graduate was struggling to find a job in Portugal but to no avail so, he left to Mozambique in Africa. It was there that he lands a job and the guy swore that he will never set foot in his native country again. He married an African lady and that is the end of the story.

Spain, Portugal, Italy etc are all struggling but being European countries, some of us think life is very easy. No, not and never.

Shameful reportage ! No one who have a working permit and à job in europe is suffering ! Aba ! After 15 years in europe one is a converted citizen and will never commit to rreturn to his previous living in Ghana ! 650 euros a month is better than as an illegal immigrant . The guy is exaggerating. . Nothing prohibits him to rent a better housing and save. A Nostalgiac ! Bring this same man to Ghana and he will be parading again at the Spanish embassy for a visa to return to europe. He should be truthful to himself , save to improve his living conditions to enable his family to join him .

Absolute nonsense. What is the name of that slum? Even if he earns such amount on daily basis as these fools are saying, convert it into cedis and see how much he makes month. Absolute nonsense to say the least. Mention the name of the said slum. Very stupid and foolish ratling. You guys have no aim and nothing to write about.

Every where in the world we Hebrew Israelite brothers and sisters have it hard; here in America, Europe, etc. and elsewhere.Some how we as a nation of Hebrew Israelite (Black people) need to come together and do for ourselves. First we need to stop worshiping the white man's god Jesus and serve our own Creator-Father. Then He will start making a way for us. Kofi

Kofi your comments sounds delusional, because when the white man came, you were so trilled to get something called mirror to see your face, The white man taught you to write your nonsense, they built the best schools which we still cherish as a privilege to be admitted into. One of such schools is Achimota, Mfantsipim and the rest. South Korea and Singapore embraced Jesus and have edged ahead of us in terms of development. Kofi look at how awkward your fetish priest dress and live and compare it to men of God like Rev Dr Mensah Otabil and see whose God can make a difference. Most of our Schools were built by the missionaries, but ask yourself if any fetish priest has ever built even a day nursery or a kindergarten before? Kofi if you want to wallow in your primitivism, don't entice anybody to join you because Ghanaians are smarter than that. Kofi come to Jesus and your life will get meaning and again Kofi Just emancipate your self from mental the slavey and your anger will subside.

Initially I thought you were making sense until I realised you were no better than who you are criticising, infact you are worse... The only way a country develops is through hard work and sacrifice, not religion..... If Christianity is a recipe for development, Ghana would have been a superpower by now..... Whoever works hard, who ever sacrifices, and if a country is led by leaders who are ready to die for the nation, thre country will definitely prosper.... IRAN, North Korea and Russia and even America is what they are because of patriotism and the desire for technological advancement and not religion.... BTW, I am a Christian I believe in Jesus Christ and I believe in common sense too.

What good Christian will speak in favor of rogue nations, countries like lran and North Korea whose human rights records are despicable, Christianity is practically not rhetorical.

Your hidden hatred for Jesus will not lead you any where. Whether you like it or not he will return one day to judge. Do not waste the opportunity to accept Him today because tomorrow might be too late for you. Without Jesus and Christianity even in its weakest form this world will not survive even one month.

There is no place like home, stay here make n enjoy ur money here. Why should u save as much as GHc10,000 on travelling documents to go n suffer in a foreign land. Better invest ur hard earn cash here.

This guy should be helped to come back home and apply his skills in vegetable farming that he has learnt in Spain.
I think from time to time Govt must undertake an exercise of bringing such stranded people back home.

33Euros = GHC 148.019 per day. If he sleeps all weekends and works for only 20 days in a month, he earns 660 Euros as slum burger(Borga, as we often call)= GH 2,960.38per month. DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA HOW MUCH MOST OF OUR GRADUATES EARN IN GHANA??? Civil servants with coins as salaries suffer to acquire higher education so they can earn at least a GHC 1000, but they are told their new qualifications cannot be accepted since they took the initiative to improve on their own. Check on the staff of our dear public universities, most esp.... What a sickness. ADVERTISE A SLUM JOB IN SPAIN THAT PAYS GHC 2000 and you will be shocked to know the number of graduates that will rush in. This guy is blessed. He should never think of coming to GH if his aim is to land in a good job. At best (without a degree)he may generously receive between GH250-GH400 a month. He should learn to save at least GH500 every month for the next 2yrs (=GH12000.00), and his wife can do good business with it here. THIS GUY IS BLESSED. He has no idea the WAHALA graduates had to go though to earn just GH700-GH1500 a month in GH. Can he work something out for some of us to join him?
Wish I earn half of that.
