Ghanaians on social media have given several reasons for not informing their relatives when they are travelling abroad until they get there.
In a post on X, Nana Aba Anamoah said:
“I’ll never understand why Ghanaians treat travelling abroad like a top-secret mission.”
However, several Ghanaians responded to her post and gave her examples of why they treat travelling abroad as a secret.
Many blamed it on poverty or the perceived negative spiritual omens if the details of their plans to travel were made public.
In the comments, one person recounted when a mouse chewed a friend’s visa after he informed his family about his trip.
