According to George, he is having a really good time in Japan with his family and nothing at all will make him leave to come back and stay in Ghana.

Watch the video below:

He indicated that the main reason for his decision was that Japanese care about human life and even that of animals compared to what happens in Ghana.

"God helped me to get here. What am I going to do back in Ghana? Here, we are well taken care of. In Japan here, even dogs are sent to the hospital in ambulance. I will never go back to Ghana. Even if I die, I don't want my body to be sent back to Ghana," he said.

George also added that Japan is so developed that even a cemetery there is more beautiful than Ghana's presidential palace.

In his own words:

"A cemetery in Japan is more beautiful than Jubilee House."
