Teaching English is the easiest way to make money in Russia - Russia-based Ghanaian.
Russia-based Ghanaian, Isaac Callem Kobina, has shared his experience living in Russia as a student and a work part-timer.
He mentioned that teaching English is the easiest way to make money in the country.
In an interview on SVTV Africa, the Software Engineering student, who doubles as a musician indicated that he travelled to Russia while at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
Callem revealed that he travelled to Russia with high hopes, however, they were crushed.
“My friend told me there were jobs available and I would work in a car company, but it was not true. Meanwhile, I had promised my mom that I would send her Ghs10K after the first month. I had to work as a cleaner in the company, but I didn’t give up. I was paid 500 Rubles (70 Cedis) for three hours daily, and I was learning the language too,” Isaac said on Daily Hustle Worldwide.
Callem disclosed that the first few weeks were tough for him. But a friend introduced him to a teaching job where he made more for fewer hours.
According to him, it took him about a month to learn the Russian language.
“The first client paid 1600 Rubles (223 Cedis) for an hour, but I wasn’t perfect in the Russian language then. I moved on to something else, eventually,” Callem told DJ Nyaami.
Presently, Callem is a final year student studying Software Engineering. Callem OG is a musician and one of the biggest African artists in Russia. He has performed for over 6000 people in Russia.

A foreign policy and security analyst has expressed worry over the rising disrespect for the chieftaincy institution in the country.
Adib Saani expressed this worry while reacting to a chieftaincy dispute that has led to some 15 people sustaining various degrees of injuries in the Western Region at a ceremony to inaugurate a mining company by the president of the National House of Chief, Nana Ogyeahohoo Yaw Gyebi II during the week.
Mr. Saani expressed this worry on the 505 evening news analysis programme hosted by Koku Lumor on Accra-based Class 93.1 FM on Thursday, July 21, 2022.
According to him, many of the chiefs have lost their sense of responsibility to their communities in the country.
He was quick to add that there are equally highly respected chiefs like Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene in the Ashanti Region, Ya-na Abubakari II, the overlord of the Dagbon traditional area in the Northern Region and Nayiri of the Mamprugu Traditional Area in the Upper East Region, Naa Abdulai Mahami Sherigu.
He was of the view that, there are fine traditional leaders who are doing some great for the nation but others are not living up to expectations.
“It is the reason when many of them speak they are not taken seriously by their subjects and the same situation is emerging in Ghana's body politics,” he said.
He warned that there is massive anger among Ghanaians and very soon, many politicians will be chased away in their attempts to campaign in the country.
He argued that a bulk of the traditional rulers have become common land agents who engage in multiple sales of lands without any shame whatsoever.
