According to the singer, he had struggled on several occasions to obtain the travel document despite submitting multiple applications. The breakthrough, he said, came after he developed a working relationship with Mahama during the former president’s time in office.

Alolome recounted that while attending his visa interview, the consular officer noticed photographs showing him with Mahama and became curious about the nature of their relationship. After explaining that he had performed at political events and had interacted with the former president through his work, the conversation reportedly took a positive turn.

The gospel musician believes that encounter helped strengthen the credibility of his application, eventually leading to the approval of his visa. For him, it was proof that life can sometimes reward genuine relationships in the most unexpected ways.

Reflecting on the experience, Alolome said the moment taught him never to underestimate the value of meaningful connections. While talent may open some doors, he suggested that integrity, consistency and the people who know your character can sometimes unlock opportunities that paperwork alone cannot.
