According to Anne-Sophie Ave, the French Ambassador to Ghana, it is preferable to make a life in Ghana rather than migrating outside the country in search of greener pastures.
In her perspective, there are no greener pastures for anyone who wishes to visit France or any other European country.
“I don’t think there are greener pastures in France or Europe. Unless you have a job already or a company that will hire you because you have a specific skill that is required,” she disclosed on the 3FM Drive on Wednesday, July 20.
Madam Anne-Sophie said one could have a miserable life if they travel illegally to France with no skill, qualifications, or family living in the country.
“Going to France illegally like pretending to you’re a tourist and trying to immigrate is going to make your life miserable,” she said.
The diplomat acknowledged that, despite the hardships of life, one may be able to turn to friends and relatives for assistance or refuge in Ghana, but one cannot say the same about a foreign country.
