The United Arab Emirates-based Ghanaian Sammy has shared his reasons for traveling to Abu Dhabi. They were to work and impress his girlfriend’s family because they did not accept him.
In a chat on ‘Daily Hustle Worldwide,’ Sammy indicated that his girlfriend’s family said he was unworthy of their daughter. As a result, he decided to travel because he believed it would put him in a better light.
“Unfortunately for me, I’m an only child who always yearned for some companionship. So I decided to get married, but her family did not accept me.”
“Her family would insult me and make me feel unworthy, so I planned to succeed abroad. Even if I go to Dubai, it will prove something,” he told DJ Nyaami.
Sammy further explained that most parents do not marry their daughter off to a man who is not ‘rich.’
According to him, the main reason for leaving his home country was because he had quit his job as a cashew farmer.
“The salary was not enough, and the job was seasonal. I had to pay rent and all, so I decided to quit. Finding a job in Ghana is also tough, so I had to travel to Abu Dhabi to work instead,” he added.
