Steve Harvey, a well-known African-American comedian, has made surprising allegations about leaving Africa for brighter pastures in America.
According to him, America is not what most young Africans think it is because people like him wish they could live in areas like Ghana, where they would always feel protected.
In an interview that has gone viral on numerous social media platforms, the popular show presenter made this revelation.
He said, “America is not what most young Africans perceive it to be because people like him wish they would live in places like Ghana where they’ll feel safe forever.”
Steve added that America “isn’t what people perceive it is.”
Citing an example, he noted that “You’ll never hear in Ghana that police have shot anyone after pulling them over.”
He hence advised that it is important to stay home (in your country) rather than looking forward to travelling offshores.
“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 said.
