Ghanaian content creator Naana Donkor Arthur (NDA), based in the U.S., has urged individuals over 40 to reconsider relocating abroad in search of greener pastures.
In a candid statement, NDA explained that the physical and mental demands of starting a new life in foreign countries might be too overwhelming for those in this age group.
Key Points from NDA’s Advice:
- Workload Challenges:
- “The rigorous demands and long hours abroad can be difficult for those unfamiliar with the high-pressure environment, especially past 40,” she said.
- Focus on Local Growth:
- NDA advised that instead of beginning anew abroad, individuals in their 40s should focus on leveraging their resources, talents, and networks in Ghana to create wealth and stability.
- Success at Younger Ages:
- “Relocating in your 20s or early 30s offers a better chance at success than doing so in your 40s,” she added, emphasizing the importance of long-term planning.
The Bigger Picture:
Her advice has sparked widespread discussion online, with many praising her for shedding light on the realities of life abroad. For some, her message serves as a wake-up call to reevaluate their goals and opportunities at home.
