In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa’s “Daily Hustle Worldwide” show, Mr. Sante shared his story of migration and the challenges he faced.
He explained that his journey began in 2008 when he moved from Ghana to the United States, he struggled with his “nkrataa” (documents).
He mentioned that the success of one’s immigration process often depends on various factors, including spiritual elements and destiny.
Born in Offinso and raised in Asante Mampong, Mr. Sante completed his education at Amaningpong Secondary School, where he was a classmate of Nana Bobbie Ansah.
He began his entrepreneurial journey by selling vegetables in Accra, which eventually led him to open a pub after his brother helped him move to Accra.
Over time, Mr. Sante worked hard and saved money, eventually obtaining legal documents to work in the U.S. In 2010, he married an American woman.
Mr. Sante shared how his journey to the U.S. began with his brother in Ghana, who had never traveled abroad but prepared and supported him in coming to America. He came with his 5-year-old child, and his family members were already living in the U.S. After obtaining his papers, he started working and got married to an American woman in 2010. However, their immigration interview did not go smoothly, and they had to go through the process again.
His wife, a twin, had her sister married off to a friend of Mr. Sante’s, who managed to get his papers early.
Unfortunately, the wife was diagnosed with cancer, and the friend left her, leading to a belief that Mr. Sante might do the same in the future.
During their immigration interview, Mr. Sante and his wife had conflicting statements, with immigration officers coming to verify if they were living together.
When a new officer visited, he saw only Mr. Sante and his child, but the secretary claimed not to know the wife.
Eventually, the wife withdrew his petition, and after further interviews, Mr. Sante’s lawyer filed an appeal. His wife believed that if he got the papers, he would leave her, so she intentionally sabotaged the process.
Mr. Sante also shared that someone in Ghana informed him that his immigration situation had spiritual significance. He was advised to use his finances to seek spiritual help, which eventually led to him getting his papers after these spiritual rituals. He believes that this intervention played a crucial role in his success.
However, their relationship faced obstacles during the immigration process.
At their interview, the situation became tense due to inconsistencies in their testimony.
Later, his wife withdrew his petition, which delayed the process further.
Mr. Sante believes that spiritual forces were at play, and he sought guidance from someone in Ghana who helped him navigate these challenges, eventually allowing him to obtain his papers.
Despite his legal victory, his personal life was far from stable.
His wife, who was once healthy, became seriously ill, suffering from a stroke and later becoming paralyzed.
Mr. Sante has spent over $300,000 on her medical expenses and has taken on the responsibility of caring for her, as she is unable to work and remains dependent on him.
He attributes her condition to spiritual factors, claiming that spiritual works, such as “akwankyere” (spiritual rituals), played a role in her paralysis.
Mr. Sante also spoke about his ongoing financial struggles, including the costs of his legal fees and the challenges of supporting his wife, who has not contributed financially for many years.
He mentioned that his wife’s family had conspired against him and had even resorted to using spiritual means to harm him. He expressed plans to send her to a nursing home and return to Ghana with his child.
Throughout his experience, Mr. Sante emphasized the importance of understanding the spiritual side of life and immigration, suggesting that those facing delays in their immigration processes should consider spiritual factors.
