Ghanaian Chief Returns To Old Job As A Landscaper In Canada To Raise Money For His Subjects

A Ghanaian chief who relinquished his job in Canada to return home has reportedly returned back to North America to resume his job as a landscaper as he realised his people were suffering without any recourse from the government.
Eric Manu is reported as being a chief of the Akan tribe in Adansi Abobo, and made news last year when he left Canada to take up his position as a chief upon the death of his uncle.
Manu is now going back to Canada to take up his old job because he says his people are suffering and nothing is being done about their plight by those in power, so he has to raise money to take care of their needs by himself.
Speaking to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Manu explained his decision to return to Canada.
“The [Ghanaian] government wasn’t really concentrating on those villages, cottages or hinterlands. Their focus was mainly in the cities. And that was really, really, really disturbing,” he told host Stephen Quinn.
“They were having challenges with their borehole water system, electricity, telecommunications network … the hospital, poor facilities.”
“I feel like I am for the people and I’m accountable and responsible and they look up to me,” he said. “It makes me a totally changed person.”
“I feel more mature. It gives me a broadened idea and mind to think far and accept people, irrespective of who they are. Either young or old, physically challenged or able. Everybody.”
Manu emigrated to Canada in 2012 after marrying a Canadian woman, and then returned last year after being crowned. It seems being a landscaper in Canada is a better way to raise money for his people than staying and working down here.
