West African Monarch Works As Gardener In Canada by limitless777(m): 2:42pm On Dec 23, 2017
The King of Akan , located in the village of Adansi Aboabo in Ghana, Eric Manu, has returned to Canada to resume his job as a gardener in order to raise money to provide health care for his subjects .
.

Manu became king when his 67- year - old uncle , Dat , passed away in 2016 .
After living in Canada for three years with his wife and son, he had moved back to his town in southern Ghana to take up his birthright .
.

He told CTV News, “ It’ s a huge experience . You have to embrace it with passion.
“ It’ s something of my heritage , my culture , and traditions .”
.

But now , Manu has returned to the North American country to take his old job back .
Moving back to the British Columbia area of Canada, he has returned to landscaping and gardening in the town in a bid to raise cash for his 6 , 000 people .
.

Manu said , “Sometimes , we go to the (job ) site and they say , ‘ You are the chief. I saw you on TV .
“ Why are you doing the landscaping ?’
“ This is humility, you understand ? Anytime I’ m in Canada, I’ m proud to work for my boss .”
.

When Manu first moved, his boss , Susan Watson, started a foundation called ‘ To The Moon and Back ’ , which sent the young king off with a shipment full of school supplies , clothing , laptops and medical supplies .
.

Watson, the owner of The Landscape Consultants, travelled to Ghana for the ceremony and said , “They ’ re beautiful inside and out and they have absolutely nothing .
“ And you ( Manu) came home here and most of us are miserable and we want something more . ”
.

The money Manu hopes to raise from his several months ’ stay in Canada will be invested in improving health care , with the aim of returning with another shipment of equipment .
.

Miss Watson added , “The whole village was quite poor . The clinic only has a midwife and a few nurses. There was no doctor on site .”

The King should stay back in his domain, and think of home grown solution to the plight of his people.
why run back to his slave masters at the sight of a challenge. he should be king enough to come back home and build with his people.
or he can not live the comfort of Canada and come stay in a village? how long will he keep running up and down.
