Popular African-American comedian, Steve Harvey has made a passionate appeal to young Africans wishing to travel abroad, especially to the U.S. to reconsider their decision.
According to him, life feels extremely greater in Ghana and other parts of Africa for a black person compared to overseas.
The popular TV show host made this revelation in a recent interview that has gone viral on various social media platforms.
In a snippet of the video, Steve is heard discouraging young Africans from seeking for greener pastures outside the shores of Africa, noting that America is “not what you think it is.”
He, therefore, advised that it is important to stay home (in Africa) rather than looking forward to travelling offshores.
“All the young Africans want to come to America. But what I’ll tell them is ‘Are you sure you want to be in this?’ It’s not what you think it is. You’ll never hear in Ghana that police have shot anyone after pulling them over. We should rather come home. Not the other way round,” he warned.
