Bro I hope you’re good and your family. Bro I really want to believe when you say you are pan African, surely Nigerians has done something really bad to you, because Every-time you guys talk about the continent, it’s always negativity about Nigeria from you especially. the topic is not about Nigeria but you always find a way to bring in Nigerian Name into it. Why?
Mr. Jay Cameron sincerely & Truthfully "EXPOSED" himself as an Imperialistic Capitalist ...A TYPICAL Money hungry American. At least he wasn't Hypocritical about "Coming to Africa" seeking to get his own piece of "The Magnificent Cake" known as Motherland AFRICA 🌍 Jay is not in Africa to Save Africa & Her People...Jay Cameron is in Africa to save his lustful soul from the destruction from Greed for Vanity. Always remember..."Craving Chokes an overly excited Puppy 🐶"...!!! A plethora of so-called Black people,...NOT TRUE & ORIGINAL BLACK PEOPLE....worship the tool given to them by their Whyte god...the tool called CURRENCY...The CURRENT ENERGY DESIGNED TO BLOW THEM AWAY INTO OBLIVION... Be mindful of what you wish for...!!! Who really cares about you being the... "richest or poorest" Black man or woman on Earth...??? What Matters Is... Your Contribution Towards Improving Life On Earth...What Us your purpose on Earth...??? Is you purpose here.... To acquire money 💰 that you cannot & will not take with you when you are "down under" in...Mother Earth
@@fedrickizu please name the time stamp that I talked about Nigeria NEGATIVELY OR was I talking about an experience that was truthful and it you can find people talking about it ALL over social media ESPECIALLY nigerians themselves at Murtala Muhammad Airport?
@@Kenganda Hi thanks for your response. I follow your program most times when I’m free because I love what you guys are doing, I love black people all over the world. I do a lot of travelling myself like you do, Cuba / America name it.One example is an African-American lady that on your show she was telling you guys about one of her Friend’s an African-American lady that was moving from Uganda to Nigeria, because she was not happy complained that she was been scammed in Uganda. if you can go back and see that video and see the response from yourself and the other other Ugandan American guy that was on your show on that day. apart from our Ugandan sister your colleague I thought that’s was really bad.
It's 2024 Ghana is this way because people don't protest it not culture because Ghanaians highly educated and refined. They don't complain. They need to complain. Electricity and plumbing is a human right.
We gots to give Jay Cameron with Maxium impact his praise. He has the right perspective and respect for our motherland to establish any business especially for those of us coming from the diaspora..lets continue to promote him..
Jay is a very intelligent. He is well informed & willing to immersed in learning the nuisances at play, He's a real business man who takes problems into opportunity. Nuff respect
With all the problems she encountered in Ghana, she came out safe . She didn’t experience gun shots or drive by shootings. She was safe in Ghana than the United States. No cop pointed a gun at her, or pulled her out of her car
@@Zoomster-wu7if We all have siblings, fathers, mothers, uncles, aunties, cousins, relatives and friends living in the US 🇺🇸. So we are pretty much upto date with the goings on in that part of the world. As much as mainstream media has done its best to try to hide, misinform or twist the narrative of what's actually happening in the US 🇺🇸 with the inhumane mistreatment of black Americans, thank goodness for social media we are able to get incident reports in real time. Isn't that wonderful 😊
@@keepitsimple313 Yes it's wonderful that I actually live in the US and don't have to rely on word of mouth or 'social media' reports of what happens. If 'all of you' have family in the US and they all report numerous gunshots and drive by shootings, I'm guessing they are able to see the suspects when they look in the mirror 😏😏😏
I love the dialogue that was had. When I first went to Gambia at 15 as a 1st gen American, I looked down on everything. However, I went back 4 more times since then and knew what to expect
Generators are pretty expensive in Ghana at up to $12k a piece. I see generators as an extension of the privatization of a public electricity service that governments should take ownership of.
Lol ... majority of Ghanaians can not afford generators, talk less of Solar. Ghanaians are struggling ... and begging for money is a thing there. Don't let no one tell you otherwise.
@@2LETLIVE Most ghanaians are begging for money? Lol. They're not living in their homes with backup electricity? It might not be a generator but people have their way. Also most of the people usually begging aren't even ghanaian. I didn't know ghanaians look like moroccans. The government has allowed foreigners that come in and scam people out of their hard earned money begging and pestering ghanaians. I don't know why it's allowed and why ghanaians still give out money to these obvious scammers and allow them to stay. They think they're actually poor. Very disappointing.
Jay, Lebanese, Indians etc who are enjoying Ghana come prepared to do business, and they're serious. How many AAs come to Ghana with even $100k in their accounts to build or buy a house? Just a few AAs can afford to settle in Ghana
It doesn't help us though. Ghana is not the country of lebanese, they don't care about our country. They have africans as slaves in lebanon. We need to get these people out and build our nation for us. That's what we're trying to do with some black americans though, but some seem more like takers and complainers than builders. Jay has done something good and useful, and he's employed a few ghanaians and pays them well (very generous for that) but even that is not necessarily what the nation needs. But at least he doesn't complain and attack needlessly.
Great discussion.. I got extorted in Ghana's airport when I visited last year.. It left a bad taste in my mouth for my entire trip. I was definitely not ready for the begging at every corner either. Now I understand. Folks are just trying to survive. Cultural immaturity on my end.. I'm about to start planning my second trip for next year. The goal for me is still getting out of Amerikkka. The taxes, insurance, and inflation here in the states are extorting me everyday, and the racism is still on going.. RIP Sonya Massey..
TSA agents caught stealing from passengers bags in the United States, google and stop trashing Ghana . Your America is not heaven,many bad things swept under the rugs, from the World
I just left Ghana 🇬🇭 about 6 weeks ago it was my first trip to the continent. I agree with pretty much everything they’re saying. I had that experience at the airport the whole time I was there people were trying to sell you stuff. We did experience some power issues, hot water issues, but the people were very nice.. I would like to visit again
You have issues in the USA or wherever you come from, yet people visit. If you're not comfortable, you can leave. Don't come her and thrash talk, Ghana is not USA or Europe and will never be
@@ibinabos.amachree8762 People who travel are fully aware that when you hear an American accent that the price of things magically start going up in African countries, it's not trash talk it's an observation of dishonest business practices.
As an American who lived in Niger for 4yrs you have to let go of all expectations. It is not America, that is the problem. Hearing them complain is cringe. Lastly, I brought the news years in, in Ghana, it was amazing. No complaints I've been to Togo, Senegal, Algeria, Morocco. I never really had any issues. You have to know how to play the game. You live and you learn. You are learning the culture/ system. Watch and learn. Be open to the experience and don't judge uggggggg. When I lived abroad I adapted. I wasn't trying to make Africa like America.
That's what they want, making Africa like America. America programs them to be like robbot. They want everything to come out easy. The life of "Just press a button". You found everything you want in America, I agreed, BUT, there are big consequences. YOU CAN'T AFFORD BEING SICK, OR LAID OFF.
tiki-kut We can try to make africa america, little by little. At least that's the plan and goal in ghana, but it doesn't have to mean culture wise just tech, services and infrastructure. In fact culture is what makes places unique, and sometimes even worth staying. But the people who seem to complain the most don't even seem willing to be part of that nation building process. If you're going to live in a country, possibly permanently, why wouldn't you want to improve it? You're only making the place you live better. But then those same type of people will brag about being 'nation builders'.
These are very insightful discussions; what I will add is that our African American siblings should realize that the systems they encounter in various African countries are the same system the citizens are subjected to. The price gouging they experience is a constant thing, they go higher when the sellers perceive that you are not familiar with the price of the item, whether you are an indigin from another part of the country or a foreigner. We have managed to survive all the Western imperial oppressive systems and schemes to still make progress and continue to do so despite the determination of the West to keep us back. Giving up is not an option for us, whatever you come to meet is the struggle in progress, hopefully with our collective contribution and determination, years after we are gone, our progeny will experience a different world order with a different view of black people. Thank you for your contributions and determination to make it despite the challenges.
msdee People act so weird when it comes to these african videos 😄😄 Like america is pristine. People talk about scams like they're not happening in america. Investment scams, pyramid schemes, real estate scams. I want africa to improve too, especially my country. But it doesn't mean we have to be dishonest about america or exaggerate how good things are. We can be honest about flaws in america and still gradually raise africa to some american standards in tech, laws, service, and economics.
It always amazes me when people move to africa then begin to complain about the things that they should expect when they get there. We are in 2024 and the Internet has made these information easy to get. Americans complain too much when they get to Africa as if they are shocked
I think one doesn't really know the situation on the ground until they move to a place and experience it themselves. It's the same as Africans who move to the West, the experience isn't always as they thought until they experience it first hand.
@@Aquagirl-in6wrHow many Africans get online to complain about life in the West the way these AA women complain about Ghana/Africa? I am an American who currently lives in Ghana. Some of these people can't afford to stay in Ghana. It's underdeveloped and it's expensive compared to other African countries. Had she done her research, she would have known to only stay in a place that has a generator and/or solar. I've been here 3 1/2 years. The only time I was without lights is when I was waiting for the solar technician to come repair the inverter. I've never been without water.
Yet Ghanians and Nigerians are protesting to their governments as we speak. They want change themselves and I don't blame them. Being quiet with your head down, that doesn't question doesn't solve nothing. Being stagnant palses progress.
You have to remember, only 10% of Americans have a passport. Imagine the percentage of the black community who hold a passport. Most of them are not travellers and never stepped foot out of America. They are not adventurous, so 9 times out of 10, wherever they go, they are going to be out of their comfort zone. Have you noticed, out of evey race, they are the only ones who complain and trash wherever they go. They've done it to Mexico, Portugal, Ghana . Not many of them travel, but when they do....watch out.
In all fairness, Americans complain about more continents/countries than just Africa. When I recently visted countries in South America & Central America, I was annoyed when told not to put toilet paper in the toilet. When in Italy, at a nice restaurant, I was appalled by an opening in the floor that was supposed to be a toilet.
That’s a lie, countries like Kenya, Rwanda, Botswana, Angola, Tanzania. Egypt, Morroco, Senegal, Ivory Coast..etc have stable electricity. The moment people call Ghana on something bad in their country, they always want to say- “it happens all over Africa”
@@sean-et4wr give me the source of your facts and I’ll check, for me I don’t even pray for these Americans to come to Ghana, I want to see Chinese and Indians, they are the real builders and not people who are always complaining about something.
@@mistyone8336 they are helping when they are complaining , because your governments are puppets, they are corrupt, and you guys are not holding them accountable. they are actually complaining on you all behalf, by making constructive criticism
the guy in white shirt is very experienced, relaxed, perfect attitude to deal with the culture shocks , I think he is from Nigeria overall I really liked the valuable contributions of all on this panel. please do more like this. Thanks
USA is what all countries has or trying to develop to be like, Ghana isn’t on that level, most countries aren’t on USA level due to development, job opportunities, freedom etc. Going to another country from USA don’t have the same expectations. Born in Ghana, lived in Europe, USA, Africa and South America.. USA is the best among all, other countries are trying to become like USA, don’t expect the same.
growing up in Jamaica ppl pissed everywhere. As the years went by, no piss yah signs were up everywhere. Now people don't walk and piss everywhere. A developing country is constantly developing.
Power outages are no big deal in my eyes. Well, I'm from the Caribbean (St. Martin), so that's normal. The electricity and water are controlled by an "independent entity outside of our country." Imagine that.
Thanks for this show and your transparency. It lets me know that there are certain challenges that come along with moving abroad, however, you are highlight the optimism of moving.
It depends where you stay in Ghana. As the man says, when you stay out in the sticks, yes you will get piwer outages. I live in east Legon in Accra and we dont get them here. We only got them when there was a recent issue with power outages, now its stopped. I have constant water because i have a huge 1500 litre tank. I never run out of water. It all depends on how you organise and set yourself up.
Instead of coming to Africa and complaining, maybe we should actually be PROUD that people were able to do what they HAVE done to date. Especially with all the various forms of oppression & corruption people face on the continent. Anytime i see a thriving business, even if the place isnt that clean, im proud. Because a black man or woman is atleast TRYING to build their future seperate from "the system". Africa is a privilege, not a right. Because there are SO many retired and elderly who would WANT to come, but cant.
You are doing a great job educating people. I recommend you interview a business couple in Ghana from the US. They are doing a great job investing in Ghana. Their channel on RU-vid is "OFF THE WHEEL".
This topic is not only about Ghana, Sierra Leone 10× of all she said,go to the beach and see fishermen fishing net,90% is trash 10% fish,. It's a lifestyle to throw their garbage in gutters ending up in the sea. Power line stolen frequently causing more power problems.. it's really not good.
I remember 'tipping' a guy in Kenya Airport and he moved me along real quick got me in front of line to get my bags shit was worth it to me. Showed me the way too. You can def say no and wait in line like everyone else.
I'm a 71 year old white American with a half dozen friends in Uganda, and 4 friends in Ghana. I would LOVE to retire in either country, but my only income is Social Security. My friends in both countries have all begged me to come to live out the rest of my life. My African friends are all young and black, and I have known them for over a decade. I know that I can have a higher standard of living there than I do in the USA. Hopefully I will win the lottery so that I can afford the move and associated costs.
First of all what was she doing in the passport office? If she needed something done concerning her passport, she should contact the American embassy not the Ghana passport office..
I love this discussion very mind blowing because I get frustrated whenever I go to Uganda they are slow when you ask them to do things for you. Nigeria is worst I was in legos for 2 weeks and most of the time they don’t have electricity.
In Ghana both male and female urinate anywhere anyhow with no sense shame. It happened once a minister wanted to ban this nasty behavior and guess what happened? They gather themselves in front of the minister's house and started urinating all together! This public urination is a pandemic in that country
It's not just Ghana. In China, people urinate in public, and also allow their children to do the same, or even defecate anywhere, including on public sidewalks. This is a behavior in many countries.
I've never seen women urinating in public. It's always the men. I hate seeing it, but where are they supposed to go in the absence of public washrooms?
Africa has potential for electricity, there is no excuse to "justify" lack of power in Africa TODAY, 60 years after Uhuru... windpower potential, solar power potential, hydro-power potential...
Great video! Excellent information and advice. You should definitely do your research before actually moving there. Visit first and get to know the culture on the ground and not just through videos and word of mouth.. and stop going to Africa thinking everything should be like the US. You need to leave that mindset behind and remain completely open minded.
@@LetsTravellChannel I'm ready to bring 10 cows and some few dollars to pay her dowry. But with one condition. The condition is she must be a peaceful woman ♀️👠. And I will bring her to Australia. Or I can move to Uganda to live together.
People don’t do research there are videos that also tell you things that might be lacking and uncomfortable things to encounter in most African countries.
In 1895 US urbanization rate was 25% almost 250-300 years after White settled in America and wiped out 100 million native Indians in 100 years . The US with a current population of 335million reached 60% urbanization in 1930 roughly 330 years after White settled in America . China urbanization rate 1980 was 20% today 63% . Real estate, Agriculture, Tech and Business Development have one of the largest potentials in the continent of Africa but each country has nuances that present opportunities for entrepreneurs .
Africa has a population of 1.46 Billion and India has a population of 1.43Billion . Africa is 12 times the size of India . There is a 50 million housing deficit in the entire continent of Africa due to the fastest growing urbanization rate in the world . Nigeria alone the most population country in Africa has a housing deficit of roughly 30 million . By 2050 the continent of Africa urbanization rate will be 60% .
I don't think extortion has to do with one's ethnic background. When Africans with great financial means go back home, they're extorted the same way as AAs or other blacks. The foreign blacks may be more vulnerable. That's the difference.
What I see are too many black Americans on the panel afraid to call it what it is. Yes, it’s a different culture and yes the American power (electric/plumbing) is better. It would not be “culture” if they had the resources and create a similar amenities. Theres nothing cultural about losing power for a few hours. I enjoy listening to Americans living abroad and I know it’s an adjustment however I’m also educated enough to know most of these countries are dictatorships where speaking what they deem negatively could be a problem for you.
Joan, you said “You left America because of white people but you love to take America with you” I agree 1000%. African Americans to do some introspection before moving to Africa. Great show team!
It’s easy to say prepare yourself and get ready to no longer be in your American mindset. That’s like telling an African to prepare themselves to become like an American. There’s no such thing as that. You cannot prepare yourself to be anything other than what you are. The only way you can grasp what’s going on is to go there directly and visit first. That is as close to preparing as you are going to get. But its definitely not you telling yourself to prepare and get ready. You cannot because you do not know until you personally experience it, what all you will soon be facing and how your psychological system will adapt. Please go visit first. That is the only way you could ever move there without being blindsided. In this case, you can now prepare yourself for the return trip because you know what you are facing from personal experience, and you know how your body and how your mindset will adapt to it. And many will find that they are not able to adapt to it at all in fact. You do not want to find this out the hard way. If you know you are very Americanized and you do not like discomfort, then there is no such thing as you moving to Africa. Africa is Ground Zero from an American standpoint. So we must really understand what that means. And it is hard to understand because most of us, with an exception to those who come from the most gutter areas of the United States, most of us do not know what it’s like living at that level of poverty, or just simply without basic infrastructure. I think for the most part, in general, not including any exceptions to the rule, that Africa for African Americans in particular, is best to visit and take long sabbaticals to. But not necessarily to relocate due to the combative nature, being spoiled and entitled as an American society and the inability to adapt to lower living standards very well. Great place to visit and learn from as well as helping Americans find a new found appreciation for America… the great nation many of its most entitled untraveled, inexperienced residents love to chronically complain about. Many leave only to move back humbled with a new found respect.
We now have access to solar energy, and generators are not even that expensive.Bottom line Africa is not for everybody. The advantges outweigh the negatives. I have met so many african direct exporters to west africa its a hell of a deal. Ghana and Nigeria have access to ports. you can easily sell all your goods there.And these are women merchants from senegal shipping cars left and right.
To me, one of the biggest problem of some of our brothers and sister who visit Africa is they do not link up with African American organisations in the country before making the move. Best is link up with the organisations, ask all the questions and then connect with other AA RU-vidrs who have already made the move for additional information. This will help one make an informed decision. Know that as one complains, other Western and Asian nationalities are there and already successful. It all boils down to asses to information and decision making. I will not recommend to anyone moving to Africa without visiting first. Same with the Western world. All sorts of scam fly around - stock market, insurance, investments etc - lots of innocent ones have fallen victim to such things but those who made informed decisions have benefited. The Bible says in Proverbs 4:7 that in all thy getting, get understanding. I wish all our AA family the best in Africa.
If a diaspora,complain about light off in ghana, then you can't be in Africa,because,Ghana it goes and come back in 1 or 2 hours,but,some African countries weeks or months, who can tell me which black country in Africa has light more than ghana,mention one
I lived in East Legon for 5 weeks, that's considered the richest part of Ghana in an air bnb had power out rages for a whole day several times.One time my Queen and I had to go book a hotel to stay for the night, cam back to the air bnb the next day still no lights
No one in ghana pisses facing strangers, so i don't know why people make a such a big deal out of that. Yeah it shouldn't happen too much, especially on someone else's property, and it's actually decreased a lot compared to what it used to be. But it's not like people are outside trying to flash you.
This dude said the water system in Ghana isn't worst than in the U.S it's just different 😂. Boy y'all love dancing around telling them Africans the hard core truth.
West Africa needs a cultural reset; too many West African brothers and sisters are running away from west Africa. Uganda needs a political reset; too many young Ugandans, are fleeing Uganda to other African countries and beyond, to places such as the UAE where they are mistreated.
We don't need any reset. They are running because others make them feel their culture is bad or they are worth nothing. In as much as I agree some things must be done differently, I don't want to run away from America too live another America in Ghana.
What comes to your mind when they say a country is a developing nation? Apart from North and South Africa,the remaining part of Africa is now developing even some parts are still undeveloped, what I can tell our brothers and sisters in the diaspora is that, limit or lower your expectations when visiting Africa and learn to do what the Romans do when you visit Rome
Most of what the lady said is true. Let me make this clear Ghana is one of the best countries in Africa, particularly west African. The extortion Sierra Leone is #1,you hardly see any tourists. The situation is deteriorating every second. Lawlessness, crime etc etc. I was born and raised there, only the deep western part of the city just like as always is better. The entire nation is crumbling. Facts.
HELLO KENGANDA FAMILY. I FIND IT DIFFICULT NOT TO BE IN MY FEELINGS WHILE WATCHING AFRICAN MOVIES SEEING WEALTHY PEOPLE VISIT POOR FAMILIES AND LEAVE THEM IN THE SAME CONDITIONS OF POVERTY.
The same way some come to America and complain, mostly about Black Americans 😂. They get elected into political offices, because they look like us, however once in those positions they immediately work against reparations, juneteenth, Black history month, etc., then complain that Black Americans are xenophobic for calling them out. Weird ain't it.😂
😮 I commend the people who pack up and move to a different country, especially on the continent of Africa. After spending over a year watching different content creators talking about this same subject, I respectfully decline to uproot my comfortable life of daily lights, phone, water and gas. To be extorted at every place my accent is heard would make me lose my mind. That said, I will deal with the devil I have dealt with my entire adult life. I will pay taxes as usual and live a very comfortable life. All I desired was to build a beautiful home in a peaceful place away from America. Risk-taking is not a thing for me. The American Plantation ain't so bad after all.
Easy for him to say....but there are serious challenges in Africa with corruption and a non development mind set. Brother can't really talk negatively about Africa, it's his business ..😢 And sometimes, you just get tired of negative things day after day...
You don’t go into some one else country to live like you did in your country foh. My parents had to adject when they came to America they didn’t complain.
