According to Appiah in a chat on \u2018Daily Hustle Worldwide,\u2019 their boat ran out of fuel on the blue sea.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had tried once before, but the Turkish police chased us back into hiding. We tried the next day, and the connection guy gave us a gallon of fuel. Two hours into the trip, we ran out. We all panicked, women screaming,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily for them, they had crossed over from Turkey to Greece, and \u201cone of the passengers had a phone and called the Greece immigration. A few minutes later, they came to our rescue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kofi Appiah added that the Ghanaians were jailed for over three months because they knew Ghana was safe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter being released, most Ghanaians continued their journey to Germany through Macedonia, Serbia, and Croatia through the forest. Many of them died. Last year, a Ghanaian woman died on her way to Germany. The cold killed her,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kofi mentioned that he would not risk his life to make another move to a different country because he does not want to experience such trips again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no need to travel to a neighboring country because their minimum wage is the same. Even if it is the USA, I won\u2019t go,\u201d he told DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kindly watch the full interview On YouTube: SVTV Africa<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: SVTV (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
