Germany-based Ghanaian Kofi Agyei revealed that he regretted travelling to Italy after two years because he was jobless and spent the little he had on drugs.
Speaking with DJ Nyaami on Daily Hustle Worldwide, Kofi mentioned that he lived in a refugee camp for two years and received an allowance from the Italian government, but he spent it all on weed. Kofi picked up the smoking habit while in Libya and became addicted.
“I thought I had survived the worst after we were rescued on the Mediterranean Sea. They put us in a camp and gave us food, but I was jobless. I stayed in the camp for two years, and I depended on 30 euros weekly from the government. I became addicted to the weed and got more stressed when they rejected my application for a permit,” he said.
Eventually, Kofi Agyei decided to move from Italy to Germany after a friend’s advice. Kofi revealed that the stress not only got worse, but he contemplated suicide multiple times.
“I stayed in a refugee camp in Germany, and they refused to give me a permit again. They even wanted to deport me. So I got more depressed. I got suicidal and thought of throwing myself off a building. I couldn’t afford the weed, and that was when I realised I felt okay without it. That was how I quit smoking,” he recounted.
