Africa American does the unthinkable in Ghana, powerful move 

Business is difficult anywhere! The keys is to keep pushing! Have faith in yourself and TMH!

I'm glad to see the restaurant owner is Creating the awards show instead of just complaining. The first element of success is to "make yourself known." It's marketing, marketing, marketing.

2:58 An Arab engineer once told me that a German professor told his foreign students that it took Germany decades to prove to the people that the new techniques are more effective, and when they return home not to be discouraged by initial setbacks. When immediate rewards were not forthcoming, German workers abandoned the engineers and returned to their farms and old ways of doing things. In the end, however, the engineers were able to prove their case, and today's standard of living in Germany ranks among the highest in the world.. B1

Nothing beats peace of mind on the continent better than the west

Cannot go wrong with agriculture. You can make a living and be self sufficient. Blessings will come 🙏.

WELL SAID , GROUP ECONOMICS IS A MUST FOR US AS A PEOPLE. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽

Respect to Ghana and its wonderful people !!

We really really appreciate you all for coming back home we know is not easy but thank you all small small we will get there

The brother spoke well, much truth, respect to him! Congratulations on his award!

I appreciate the honest discussion and I want our diaspora siblings to know nothing good comes cheap and they should be part of the change. The Chinese, Lebanese, European etc don’t leave when times are tough. You guys are the missing puzzle to help make things better. Go black 2 Africa.

Kudos to those who made the journey to relocate to Africa it takes alot of strength and courage. Ghana seems like it was the heavily marketed landing point to Black Americans , however there are so many other options to expat to on the continent. For example, Ivory Coast & Senegal is just as or even more developed than Ghana. However many Black Americans don’t want to learn French or the local language. Nigeria, Sierra Leone & Gambia has its vices but they are other English speaking options for people who need an English speaking country as a landing place. South Africa region has several English speaking countries. Also, people are so focused on where they can do business, find cheap housing and land that they don’t put enough emphasis on cultural compatibility. Some countries are more conservative than others and people don’t think to live amongst groups where they blend more in. Africans are very visual people & your social interaction could be different depending on what tribe or country people perceive you to be from. This is not America. Family ties and sometimes tribes gives you more leverage than tying up your bootstrap. People run to Tanzania & find they can’t adjust to a conservative Islamic & Swahili dominated society. Somehow, They overlook Kenya when it’s English speaking, modern & more liberal. Rwanda is also nice. People get upset when they learn Miami Beach culture won’t happen on an African beach in a Muslim country. I think some of us need to take accountability for not researching enough or taking initiative to become apart of the community to make the ease of living better. Many Foreigners move to other countries and make the initiative to learn the language or marry a local…somehow we think we are above these hacks. How much would scamming go down if people utilized learning the language, blending in, finding local friends, marrying someone. This is why so many people did not last.

Love this piece.....I'll be in Ghana for the first time on Jay Cameron tour in February ....hope I get to see to see you brothers....Grace and Peace

My brother Go Black 2 A, I’ve noticed that since we or some of us are starting to come back home to Africa, that they the Africans our brothers and sisters aren’t making it easy for us raising the cost of living, the cost of renting etc, why don’t someone tell them that we don’t have as much money as they would think, remember we were or our forefathers and mothers were sold or taken out, we work for less here in the west and now when god put it in our hearts to come back home our family thinks that we have all this money, I’ve noticed that Africans have good education coming from Africa and can get great jobs in the west, but they don’t know that we did not get good education, our fore parents fought for us of today to can even get a good education, even having obstacles constantly in our way, so I’m asking my African brothers and sisters to know that we have struggled to have what little we have, and to come home to exploited by our own is heartbreaking, people of Africa know this we are coming home thanks to god, so make it easy for us to back, so we can help each in every way possible, I hope you read this Love always black people

I am Jamaican and my ancestors are from Ghana, however, I am hearing that Gambia, Zimbabwe and Kenya are good countries to do business. Very business friendly

Go Black, I'm pretty sure you influenced a lot of people including myself. I'm also pretty sure everyone doesn't express that as I have not so Thank You. I look forward to seeing your videos learning and also doing my own research of our history.

It's good that those in the diaspora have left for the motherland to pursue a new life and open businesses., and it good to see those that have went are being patronized and supported by both the continental African and African diaspora community. But my thoughts of why so many are giving up and returning to the west is probably do to individualism, those attempting to work through unregulated, and inconsistent rules and regulations within Africa's business environment can leave one feeling vulnerable and not knowing who to trust while always feeling like such a system is slowing you down instead of making it easy for one to move forward. The best way to move quickly through systems that are slack and scantly regulated is to go collectively in groups to pursue common goals. Going as an individual and attempting to work through a maze of chaos, confusion, mix-ups, trick and slow down would probably cause me to want to leave also.

Shout out to Telie and Jerk Soul. Most won’t be able to sustain themselves in Ghana for whatever reasons. I enjoyed my time there but East Africa is working more in my favor long term.

It's good to be able to escape the stress in the West. That's what he is essentially saying. Some return-to America. There are so many implications involved in it, that, we have to consider it's been 400+ years.

These people thought they would make a killing in Ghana…. It backfired…that’s life… businesses don’t always succeed… Ghana is still very rural… agriculture would have been better… many parts of Africa just are not ready for an American lifestyle…. people are going to live in Africa need to LEAVE the American colonial mindset behind…. And embrace Africa and African peoples….

Another Brilliant interview. People forget that we lived thousands of years without money. We were into bothering, trading and helping other people to solve problems and that's what Ghana needs now--but, the skills level and educational levels are not heading toward helping people be productive. We need all the Black retired to go into the school of nations like Ghana and teach the skills that we need for our survival and a focus on independence from European and Chinese assistance, Ghana needs refineries and our Ghanian or Black Americans to run those places. Also Ghana needs refineries not just for oil but other minerals...a sharing of mineral wealth among the people of Ghana.

All praises to the Most High! My husband and I are on our way to relocate to Ghana in January to live.

I salute you for your dedication and courage. I’m saddened by Africa’s inconsistency in laws dealing with melanated people trying to come to live there. It’s very confusing and it reduces the likelihood of melanated people taking the leap. Please do let us know more by country their laws .

Dont blame the country for your business failings, if you are going to blame, blame your business practices. Remember in every country on this planet you have businesses that succeed and businesses that fail. So if you are finding that you are failing then its unfortunate that you fell into the failure group. Everyone is not going to succeed in business. Some will succeed some will fail. Remember failure is a stepping stone to success for only those who are are not afraid to fail and those who are able to learn from such undertakings and come back even stronger and wiser.

All over the world there are business groups of starting entrepreneurs helping each other by meeting 1 x a month. They start trainings, meetings, happy hours, etc. Organisation of people is power, go for it. 😊

APTTMHY, I love to see the unity! We coming brothas, keep holding it down for us here in Babylon(Egypt) until we arrive. All praises to YAHAWAH!!

As a black Dravidian, I'm happy for African people, at least they're awakened and have their own land/Continent with their own people and don't have to get hatred for their color. I hope Africa becomes a great place.

Put more pressure on the government to make doing business easier. You belong to Africa. We appreciate you. We love you for bringing into the light things that need to change for the better. God bless you.

ALSO IMMIGRATION IS A BIG ISSUE. AT THE AIRPORT YOU GET 60 DAYS TO STAY IN THE COUNTRY. DIASPORANS NEED AT LEAST 6 MTHS TO EXPLORE REAL ESTATE AND BUSINESS. IT IS SOOOOO DIFFICULT TO EXTEND YOUR STAY WHEN YOU NEED TO.

THE MOST HIGH YAH will gather us. Jeremiah 29:14 King James Version 14 And I will be found of you, saith the MOST HIGH YAH: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the MOST HIGH YAH; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.

Many of us from the Diaspora who go to the US have a hard time; we don't always feel welcomed by many.

Extremely tested Africa is Not for the weak

There are plenty of business opportunities in Ghana or Africa as a whole. The main problem with African Americans is they don't have the capital. If they have the capital they don't want to invest in Africa. Many who came to invest in Africa came with $50,000 and think they will become millionaires within 2 years.

Thank the Most High for the two of you! Keep on keeping it REAL! Our diasporas are the pioneers!

This is a rare success story and good luck to this man, but Ghana was and still is a big risk for anyone to take, you just won’t get the backing of the government that is needed for real success in Africa, as long as their is a crisis of leadership that still persists, it’s just not worth the gamble

Now you know what the locals been going through and all the protesting on the streets sometimes from the younger crowd was for… even though I do think for foreigners they should set something up so we can help them so in return it helps the economy but trust me it is Everyman for themselves even Ghanaians who move back to ghana sometimes their business doesn’t last because of certain things .. just gotta keep pushing I don’t know ..

I know people there who are doing it despite the challenges!

I agree- there is so much peace that comes with living outside of the U.S. Just curious, GoBlack, why have you stopped saying “Go Black to Africa” in your intro

Go Black Thanks for your content and courageousness in addition our brothers on the continent pathing the way ☝🏿🖤💪🏿💯💚🖤❤️

It's not about doing something for specific businesses, it's creating a conducive environment where all businesses thrive. Most Africans governments willingly sign up to the destruction of their economies by the same colonial nations. Until there's a proper political/ideological revolution, nothing will ever change. Ghana just handed over 70% of a lithium find to an Australian company.

Just got here 2 months ago theres alot of work to be don and alot of progress and growth to be made.

Great Video and Grace, Peace, & Blessings to You Brothers. ❤️

Thanks for the insight brother. I have a suggestion to make pertaining to those who have left Ghana and gone back to the US. I think it would be very helpful to interview some of those who have gone back to see how they have settled in well or if going back has brought new challenges they never expected? What impact has going back to the US had on their financial situation and health? Was it worth the move back? etc, etc. I'm sure it's not been a bed of roses for many, so it would be nice to know if any of them have completed closed the door to Africa.

JERK SOUL IS EXCELLENT RESTUARANT . HAVE BEEN THERE .

The brotherhood always choke me up; love it.

Be encouraged 🌷. Thank you.

I’m sure it hasn’t been easy all I can do is pray for all of you who have made this journey you are truly not alone God will continue to keep you and guide you please don’t forget even Jesus Christ had to pull away and pray he got you

One love, one Peoples, All African, in the struggle against our common enemy; settler colonial capitalism

SHALAWAM GB2A AND JUDAH EXODUS I TRULY ENJOY SEEING Y'ALL ENCOURAGING OUR PEOPLE TO GO TO THE MOTHER LAND

What has Ghana done for indigenous people business ? Diasporas Stop complaining . Go back and leave on your credit score.

There is no paradise on earth, just make the most of it, no matter where you are at. It is hard to make a decent living in Africa, now more than ever. Everyone is struggling everywhere in the world but at least we own a house and a business in Morocco and that is more than many others. Asset rich but cash poor is our story.

CONGRATULATIONS to see others for their worth and dedication! ❤

Africans from the diaspora are just going through the normal transition of migration and change as they relocate to Africa. It's not just a change of location but it's a total social cultural and economic transition. Some will adapt some will not, some will remain some will go back to America. The same challenges face Africans migrating to America Some make it some don't but you can bet it they will not hesitate to try and make something out of it, and so should african diaspora coming to the motherland. The key word is adaptation and avoiding comparisons that bring conflictions. These are two different environments and it's proper to know how to adapt to each when it's due. I would suggest you invest in the west where you reside and have a regular stable income first then explore opportunities in Africa where you can come and live humbly or a bit cheaper but peacefully. A dollar in some places in Africa can feed you the whole day but not the burgers, sandwiches that you are used to but for sure you will sleep well fed. Come and live like the locals, ie cheap housing, food etc it's the mindset that can assist in adapting to any translocation not the conditions that challenge you.

Currently ghana is trying to balance its economy just hold tight and dont shiver will ride through the storm but if anybody feels they want to try other places by all means try

Nice convo. Keep up the good work bros-

Kudos to all those making the leap. Learning to live in an environment with limited credit facilities readily available to support businesses, housing, and the regular necessities like phones etc. Is by far one of the biggest adjustments that cause many to retreat. To be able to start a business that can generate revenue is the surest way to really stabilize you and your family and creat a critical mass of community.

Thanks for sharing this interesting video ❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

As usual EXCELLENT topic 👍🏾.

That's the best thing you could have done bro with this awards ...Legendary And GO Black Legendary

Indians, Lebanese and the rest have been residing in Africa since independence. Why is it so hard for the black folks. We just can’t be patient enough to build or nurture anything to flourish. Black man complains too loudly without taking time to reason how to fix the problem. If we can try to work together as other ground do less fighting, perhaps we can make a head way.

Good visit. COLLABORATE is the vibe, Shalom💚

"Spoken Word!" From some experienced brothers who know what's up!

GOBLACK2AFRIKA bigups for being on this journey you’ve enlightened a lot of brothers and sisters through your words and experience, YAHUAH always lead the way , Shalom!!!

I stated this about a year ago. You need build a network and have them, the Chinese have there government backing them up. The African diaspora need to have a network foundation that's pool money together and support each project as it grows. But, also have this network within the 5 division diaspora this is Africa, African American, Afro-Latina,Afro Caribbean and Afro West. For example: The Group of Seven (G7). The way we're doing things is too small. African American culture dominate the world and we still haven't came together and used this like our ancestors did to created ancient Kemet/Egypt.

Always good to connect with the journey

Congrats🎉 to your guest and Go Black and Tim Swain for the strides y’all have made in these few years. It’s surreal just seeing the poster behind you here in the video. Sometime special to be missing out on -Just wow. APTTMH 🌈🙏🏽🎉

The Lebanese and Chinese are doing it in Ghana and you hardly hear them complain. Of course it’s supposed to be hard, you’re supposed to fail and fail big until you begin to succeed. Let’s not focus on making videos to complain. What we’ve not done well as a people is work together. We need to learn how other groups do it. If African Americans are serious about moving to Africa then there has to be the establishment of an African American Bank. A solid financial base in Africa should be the foundation of our success.

This is the problem with living in the west…you develop an ego. Why would you go to the Motherland expecting to be patted on the back for what you have chosen to do? Personally I believe, if you’re doing something from the heart, you’re not looking for outside validation, only from your spouse/ partner or loved ones. If outsiders do recognise, then that’s a bonus, but if you’re waiting for outsiders to boost you, and you don’t receive it, you’ll definitely want to leave.

Great interview go black. So illuminating

Always heard for years, there is a problem doing business in Ghana, people always leave for other Afrikan countries.

Pray...Do the work, stay very very focus...And keep on doing what you have been call to do..wherever you are call to be at this time....Thank you go Black...

Awesome interview APTTMH

Hi Mr Go Black to Africa 🌍 thanks my brother 🙏

THIS IS NOT JUST GHANA, IT IS EVERYWHERE, AFTER THE PANDEMIC. I LIVE IN ONE OF THE BEST WESTERN COUNTRIES IN EUROPE. BUSINESSES ARE CLOSING DOWN LIKE HELL . THIS IS ONE OF THE TOPICS ON TV ALMOST EVERY DAY, WITH A LOTS OF EMPTY SHOPS AND OTHER BUSINESSES. EVEN NEAR BY GERMANY IT IS THE SAME.PEOPLE COMPLAINING.I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MUCH EMPTY SHOPS AND PROPERTIES LIKE IT IS NOW.

You do the wrong businesses in Africa, people are opening up subways, Africans don’t eat subways. Visit the chamber of commerce of any country you visit in Africa before you start anything

Good day just my opinion? I dont like the idea of running from something only to go create the same way of life in Africa. I think we need to be careful not to create the same old in a new place. As i see it most of Africa is running 100 mile trying to be like the west system and i say why?😢

These people are not serious. Look around Ghana. The government doesn’t do much for their citizens, what do you think they will do for you? What do you expect? Do for yourself. No one forced you to relocate to any country.

It's always easy when you have a skill that can help you make money online anywhere in the world

Ghana's government can not help its own countries businesses..... it is the wild west..ghana has bad political management .

I’m coming to the mother land

That peace you speak of is unexplainable, and it starts right from the airport. In the mist of all the craziness that peace still remains lol just insane

I think we should learn from the devils who created Amerikkka. It’s going to need fierce determination, unity, and a willingness to die trying. If not us, let it be our children. 🥂 To the first wave who tried, thank you and be blessed. For the rest of us, let’s plan and stay motivated. I plan on doing my first visit by December 2024 Let’s lock and load✊🏿 drink your palm wine with pride. See you in heaven on earth

I just returned to the UAE from Kenya 🇰🇪 and Uganda 🇺🇬. This was my first visit to the continent. I plan on returning to visit more countries in Africa this year such as Senegal 🇸🇳 , Ghana 🇬🇭 , South Africa 🇿🇦, Rwanda 🇷🇼 and more. As mentioned in the video, countries in Africa are not viewed as top destinations such as France, Greece, etc. In my opinion, we should visit and begin thinking group economics and how to begin ventures on the continent, even if we decide to stay for part of the year. As mentioned in the video, the food, air and water in Amer- reeka(as one of my Emirates students pronounce it) is being poisoned. Not to mention, that huge corporations are buying a large percentage of homes and B. Gates is purchasing the farmland. Look for my reflection video of Nairobi and Kampala soon....

It does take a village to raise a child! But you have to have a TRIBE first. TRIBE is community!

We should change it up partying with white carpet or black carpet instead of walking on Babylon red carpet

You just started the business, and you're having resentment. How are you going to survive it is ups and down

I don't believe bringing "Corporate Accumen" to Ghana will produce anything truly good. It has failed the people anywhere applied. I would suggest getting into the Trades such as Electrical, Carpentry, Plumbing, Irrigation and etc. and bringing those skills there. If you build a good foundation where people have more than they need the rest will fall into place. If you bring the cut-throat corporate world as the foundation what do you think will follow?

Hello Go Black 2 Africa and thank you for sharing this video with us

If you don't have business skills don't set up businesses and blame your failure on others. You need to pass through business experience before success.

It’s not easy as we try to come there to make an impactful difference and the mindset will take a huge heavy lifting. Now, there appears to be a different mindset between west and East African mindset. My observation is East African mindset is more in alignment. Ghana if she isn’t careful will not be Ghana in 15-20 years. It is disheartening because there are beautiful people there but they don’t make it easy and I understand why other cultures bring their own people to work in their own business because the mindset is too challenging. Africa has 54 countries, so Ghana isn’t for everyone. There are some other African countries we as blacks people that we need to explore that may be a better fit business wise.

Business is Business anywhere in the world every part has its own dynamics and not everyone is caught to be an entrepreneur so has nothing to do with Africa. For the African American, you are an American let no one take that away from you and going to Africa should be a way to reconnect your missing roots and build that inner awareness and self-confidence so that you can be more productive in the Americas and cut through all the nonsense operating at the subliminal level, thereby taking your rightful position and building your wealth. Yes, go to Africa but not necessarily to relocate but if you feel drawn towards that path then you need a different mindset and level of awareness. FYI...Peace of mind is great but it is subjective.

Judah...KEEP GOING! KEEP MOVING..You are doing an excellent job ❤

Let us CONNECT!

No matter how bad America is, whenever I travel abroad, I always save myself enough money so I can travel back home to my country of birth America whenever I want to. Knowing myself as I do, I know sooner or later I will get that spiritual feeling of longing for home. I am making my plans to move abroad permanently in 2024 almost packed and ready to go. Philippines is my country of choice I have been there many times so I know the country well, its always best to move to a country you are familiar with in my opinion.

Welcome to the African reality. African countries don't have social security systems. Most people don't have access to credit. How do YOU as foreigners expect to get services that CITIZENS never get? Really? You should have done your research. At the end of the day, YOU made a personal choice to move. Didn't you plan for it? People need to take responsibility for their choices and lack of planning instead of constantly complaining and being entitled.

Ghana is a little bit layback when it comes to doing business. you should also expect a slow pace. Even though it may seem a bit relaxing to live but might not be too good for a fast business growth as some people may expect. Though business opportunities may vary

Babylon might be worse in America but my people, Babylon is all over this world. The enemy have taken over. Let's us cry out to The Creator in 🙏 and get ours authority back.

I really appreciate this On-point & Sobering discourse. Enriching & Encouraging. (Dam-Erica!) Put the D Infront of the (a) & Capitalize the E! -Bro. Obie Amos.

Making money in Africa is tough because they look at you as a foreigner. They look at you less than the colonizers. So if you living there you have to get your income from abroad and not from Africa.

Yes. The way for us to succeed is unity. Please listen to the lyrics of Jimmy Cliff's song, 'Brother'. Peace to you all.
