King in West Africa to Canada Become a Gardener

This may be quite shocking news. How does a King in South Africa willingly return to Canada just to work as a gardener?

However, according to The Independent, Tuesday, February 6, 2018, that's what happened to Eric Manu.

The king of a West African tribe has returned to Canada to continue his work as a gardener.

He aims to raise money to improve health care in his hometown.

Eric Manu became King when his 67-year-old uncle Dat died last year.

After living in Canada for three years with his wife and son, he returned to southern Ghana to undergo the inauguration process.

He said: "This is an amazing experience, you have to shake it with passion.

"It's my legacy, culture, and tradition."

But now as King Akan tribe, located in the village Adansi Aboabo no. 2, he has returned to the country of Canada and took his old job back as a gardener.

Moving back to British Columbia, he has returned to his old field of gardeners in the city in an effort to raise cash for his 6,000-member tribe.

Manu said: "Sometimes when we go to work, they will say, 'You are the leader I see you on TV.'

"Why would you want to be a gardener?"

"This is the humility you understand.Whenever I am in Canada, I am proud to work for my boss."

Her superiors, Susan Watson, commissioned a foundation called To The Moon and Back, which sent the young King with a full delivery of school supplies, clothing, laptops and medical supplies.

The owner of The Landscape Consultants went to Ghana to attend the ceremony, and said: "They are beautiful inside and outside but they have absolutely nothing.

The money Manu earned while working a few months in Canada is planned to be invested to improve his tribe's health, with the aim of returning to his village with other medical equipment.

Her supervisor Watson added: "The whole village is very poor, the clinic has only midwives and a few nurses, no doctor in place," he said.

Regardless, Eric Manu is a humble King.
