Ghanaian Students in UK Allegedly Sell Sperm to Survive.

A Ghanaian PhD student at the University of Kent, Lius Laud Apprey, has revealed that some Ghanaian students on government scholarships in the UK are resorting to selling their sperm to make ends meet. This situation has arisen following the cancellation of visas for certain students at the University of Birmingham, who now face potential deportation.

According to a report shared by TV3 on X, these students, struggling with financial hardship, are earning between £150 and £250 per donation, depending on the quality and quantity. Apprey highlighted the severe challenges faced by these students as they navigate their difficult circumstances.

“Unfortunately, some of my colleagues in other universities have been sacked by the universities. They were withdrawn a month ago. And as we speak, there are students who have been asked by the Home Office to leave by November 9, 2024, and you can imagine the stress students are going through. Some of the students sleep in the libraries because, of course, you can’t pay for your accommodation.

“Some of them have been sent to court on a regular basis, by landlords, of course, here is not Ghana; the landlords don’t understand anything. They take you to court to demand their monies,” he revealed.

He added that the situation has compelled some male students from Nottingham University to travel to some clinics in Manchester to sell their sperms.

“People are going through hell. You might have heard that some male students from Nottingham University travel as far as Manchester to a clinic just to sell their sperm,” he noted.
