Owuahene Acheampong first travelled to South Africa and returned to Ghana before leaving for Holland and finally to Germany.
Before he travelled for the first time to South Africa, Owuahene was selling fried rice in Kumasi and had several branches and 12 employers.
He returned after staying in South Africa for three months because the salary he received was small compared to the money he made from his fried rice business. He also started an event planning business, which was doing well.

How much does Owuahene earn in Germany?
In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Owoahene said he receives €2000 (KSh 313,200) and pays €900 (KSh 141,000) as rent.
“I earn €2000 monthly and pay rent of €900. I have expenses like clothes, food, bus tickets and others. If I don’t plan well, I can’t even save KSh 65,000 a month.”
Owuahene said he could have made more money from his businesses in Ghana, but he left because of the unnecessary hate and jealousy.
“I decided to leave Ghana because of the unnecessary hate and jealousy. When my business started doing well, friends got jealous and started sabotaging me. Today, these friends are the same people asking me for money. In Germany, no one will question me on why I have braided my hair. I like the freedom here.”
According to Owuahene, people can succeed in Ghana without travelling outside, but many young people are unwilling to do the work.
“There is money in Ghana, but the many young people are addicted to social media and don’t want to work hard.”
