Maya am ur fan but Africa is not the future until we can get the right leadership, lots of us grow up in extreme poverty with no hope for business capital due to bad leadership and you want us to come back home. Good luck to those who can take the chance bcos I can't. UK gave me opportunity I couldn't get in Nigeria. I love Africa to the world but with caution bro maya.
@@naijaderbytourer766 Naija Derby...I understand your position on Nigeria very clearly...but the thing is that, someone has to go and effect the changes that you want to see happening in Nigeria... I and many like me, choose to be part of the change that we are all seeking and we will be happy to welcome you back whenever you are ready 🙂
@@Korewaa-GhBizGirl. Unless God.. I love Ghana and Africa but trust me you can't effect any change...they will come after you.Ask what has happened to all the change makers since Nkrumah? sorry I may sound pessimistic. It's the reality
I totally agree with you sister, I’m a south Sudanese living in Australia for almost five years , the time I finish my degree I’m going back home as well there’s nothing better than living in Africa.
Well done on this very bold move. I’m currently living in the U.K. Moving back to Ghana in 5 years after I become a consultant general surgeon to help my people and live a more stress-free life in Ghana. May God help us all to move our country forward.
@@nathanmanu6075 I'm not funny I'm serious take what you can and run my friend this is the only way the winning way build house and buisness back home change name and all the best in life u need to be smart 5 min after you can be stupid
@@w2brad918 In other words, play the system, instead of the system playing you. If you allow the system play you, you will find yourself broke at the end of the day, with no assets to your name, but the bank. For the most part, you don't own "jack" in the West; the bank does. Play the system!!
@@Korewaa-GhBizGirl Yes , Guine Bissau Here living in Germany ,moving to Africa too...Just waiting for the Corona Situation to clear ,i reach my mental Saturation Point from European Life ...i Just can Take it anymore ...
Life is so funny 🤣sometimes. People in Africa are trying to get out, people abroad want to come back, I think this is just a testament to humans basically always wanting more, or maybe just wanting something different 🤔. I think true happiness is neither here nor there, it comes from within, from contentment.
True but the ppl over there that’s trying to get out never had to deal with racism or fighting to be treated like a human I work around a lot of ppl who come from there or had Uber drivers they all say the same stuff their here for the money to get a home built an their going back home I’m from America an I rather be over there
Am in my 40s and I've been living in America for 20 plus years and though I thank God for the opportunity to have come here, I am still never truly happy here. You have to adjust how you talk, speak, act and hold down your true feelings here as a black man in so many ways just to live. I had little growing up in Africa but was happier in certain ways than now that I have certain improvements but at the expense of being fully accepted in a white majority country. Yeah, Ghana is not heaven but I feel free each time I go back. I pray to God and the Ancestors to not let me die here, but help me move back eventually.
I feel you...if you truly want to move back, you need to start taking action steps now..no matter how little..and in a few years you will be able to move back. Thanks for watching
Yes please start thinking of ways to financial support yourself when you move back be it farming, having a rental property in America, teaching online etc And like was mentioned start taking small steps to your bigger goal now. You can a achieve what you set your mind to. After all you made it to America in the first place...
Just imagine being a black/African American by force and not belonging all your life. Being treated like a second class citizen. Smdh! They worried migiration from mexico and south America. I want a migiration to Africa but Africa countries make it hard to. If you not a citizen they make you wait years. I want to cut all tie this god forsake place!
THE FUTURE IS AFRICA & SOON I WILL BE MOVING THERE🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 TOO. THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭. LET'S KEEP ENCOURAGING EACH OTHER TO MAKE THIS MOVE BACK TO OUR MOTHERLAND. NOTHING CAN STOP US NOW - ❤❤🇬🇭🇬🇭❤❤
@@ladysaw999 definitely true, I know what I am talking about.if u are living abroad have you moved to Africa to establish business and if so what are ur experiences
I’m beaming with excitement for you my sister. I know exactly you’re talking about and super happy for you and your family. Ghana is not a lot but it is truly enough. I’m 2 years behind you. I have my exit plan in place. All the western amenities can not keep me here.... I will not die in this country
I am so excited for you my sister. I live in the U S and I feel exactly the same way. Unfulfilled with lots of stress which had caused me with high blood.pressure. I hated abroad because of their racism. I was very happy until I moved to u s and am always stressed. I second you my sister. Will be moving home for good.
I totally believe and understand you my dear Sister. Living in the western world is not meant for Africans. If you had a feeling of second citizen while living in Australia, then compare it to mine living in Germany. I feel like a fourth citizen here meaning nobody cares about you, as if you don’t have rights. if I tell you how much my kids have suffered racism in school, while being in the Bus , at the work place.. even to have Medical treatment with Doctors and more you just name it.. I’m so proud of you Korewaa for taking this step ❤️ May God bless your family and all your endeavors . We are still trying to survive and hanging in here but also constantly reminding myself and my family trying to convince my husband that we have to move back to where we belong. Motherland Ghana 🇬🇭
You've clearly summed it up! U never hv that inner satisfaction, never!! Look, U will be over qualified for the post you're in, but never be promoted, so you're left rutted, under utilised and feel consistently anxiety provoking & always feel highly strung!! Girl, YESSSSSOOOO! Go where you'll be celebrated! Good luck
@@gibson2675 my brother how would you know if they will welcome you or not if you’ve never been there before? You only get to experience it while you live here in Abroad. It’s very Sad . And that’s why we are going back to the motherland
The exact same experiences I had living in Germany. Moving to Ghana literally brought my Soul and Spirit back to Life. I am able to do what I really want to do and the FREEDOM you will experience here in Ghana is incomparable. Plus the possibilities of Success at whatever you choose to do are endless! All you have to do is believe in your craft and do it with all your heart ❤ that's it. ECCLESIASTES 9.10
Am here living with n Germany stuttgart for the past 20 years , and since I arrived here I have been praying to go back .. but kids are here and I have still not giving up my dream of going back home to Nigeria. It just gives me joy when I see people going back , it means one day I will surely make it oo 🙏🏿
First time watching your channel. I can’t even explain how i found it, by accident. However, my family and I live here in the USA, for over 25 years, our children were born here but we’re all going back to the sunny Caribbean by the end of this year. America never feels like home for us black immigrants. All the best to you and your family.
Im so happy for you. I’m also planning my exit from the US. I’ve spotted two plots of land which I’m in the process of buying and hopefully start building soon. I’m sure I’ll be ready to make the move with my family to Ghana in couple of years God willing. I’m not happy here and I can’t wait to be home.
Buying the plots and building a house is a good move...Make a long list of things you will need and start acquiring them now...by the time you are ready to go in a couple of years, you will have everything you need..All the best 🙂
Very proud of you sis. Go for it!! There's a lot of us in the Diaspora ready to make this move. I live in the States and I'm moving back to Africa in June. We ALL need to go back and join forces with other returning Diasporans and build the Africa we want.
Thanks for articulating the dispair so many people of African descent feel living in societies that are predominantly white. I studied in the US and came back to Jamaica as soon as I finished my studies and never regretted my decision. Peace my sister
That's the story of our lives for most of us, black folks, who live in the West. Than you for sharing. Someday soon it will be my turn. Good luck in 🇬🇭 Ghana.
Your self worth is very very important. You are absolutely right. Living amongst your own gives you an inner peace and sense of mental well being. Well done and you will definitely make it.
I applaud you sis! You're doing the right thing. Life is for living and God has a purpose for all his children. It's time to smell the roses and live life with purpose and dignity. I'm also planning my exit. Stay blessed!
You inspired me to start a poultry farm a couple years ago in Ghana with your videos and now another inspiration to move from Canada to Ghana... am doing a partial move this summer and a permanent move end of 2022... thank you so much for all you do, you’re helping many in the diaspora more than u think... keep it up sis
I feel you, I have been living in England 2003 up till now, am really tired of leaving in Europe, the same experience you have, I have experience them all
You narrated my life story. I moved from Canada after 3 years due to all the reasons you mentioned. I never got over the thought of a second citizen and the racism I experienced. I moved back in 2019, and almost done with my house. I never liked the factory work and no one would employ a black me although I am multilingual and have a masters degree.
As a Nigerian American woman, I applaud you and congratulate you as well. All the stuff you said Nigerians say the same thing as well, that’s why many of them buy land and houses in Nigeria or already have property they maintain. Even me that was born and raised in America, I appreciate the western worlds benefits of being born in America and won’t put America down in general as a result but at the same time what you have experienced I have as well and it’s made me appreciate being Nigerian and wanted to buy property and invest there for me and my future children. Nigeria has its faults as well, like corruption but at least you won’t have to deal with racism there, so I love Nigeria. It helps that my parents raised me in that culture as well. The world is changing, things are getting more harder to attain, so this is the time Africans should build up Africa for the future. I really believe Africa is the only safe haven for black Africans and other blacks worldwide. So if you have the money buy land and build a house for yourself not only for yourself but future descendants. Congrats 🍾🎊 again to you and your family. Good luck on the new business you want to start
My sister let's be real, we are not in the west to be loved or welcomed. Lots of us move out of Nigeria for economic and threat to our lives. My both parents were killed in mysterious circumstances in Nigeria by family members due to envy. I own a house in my town but can't sleep with 2 eyes closed. Am so scare of visiting home due to spiritual attacks. If my parents were still in the west they will probably still be alive, racism doesn't kill bcos u can walk away, but envy and evil people around you can end your life easily. I don't regret travelling out of Nigeria not one bit. I experience racism too, but at least I can sleep with my eyes close.
@@gold9ja , Totally agree with your analysis. Home is home, and each country has its own problems. But Nigeria is changing, and you are right we all have a role to play if we want to make it a beautiful place to live.
@@naijaderbytourer766 I agree, no argument from me. All Nigerians that leave Nigeria to go to America and other western countries is for economic stability and opportunity plus to avoid spiritual attacks. Plus I don’t see it as a bad thing cause almost all Nigerians(including my Parents) that live abroad in the western world wouldn’t have gotten the successes they had if they Stayed in Nigeria. It is what it is. That’s why I said earlier I don’t put down America as a Nigerian American cause I benefited from America being born and raised here but as Nigerians we endure racism as well but the hurdles of Nigeria are far worse so we pick our poison we endure but in the end of the day home is home. It has been said in the media years ago that 40% of development in Nigeria are a result of Nigerians living abroad in the western world, and it makes sense just watch Tayo aina and Wode maya channel on RU-vid showing some Nigerians that moved back to Nigeria after a decade or more to develop. In the end of day, they didn’t do that cause of the sake of it, they did it to progress Nigeria.
You captured all of my thoughts and ideas about leaving The West to head East to the Motherland. I have already begun my escape. I pray to the most high that I can live to see the day that I permanently can rest in the land of my ancestors.
That was breathtaking. I took a good seat in my car while waiting for my husband's bus to arrive from NYC! I had treas, knowing how much I want to move to ghana 🇬🇭 and spend the rest of my life there! I am not from Ghana, but I love it! Thanks for that speech. It was well said, blessings and love in every way! You made me feel better while listening to you! Thank you! Shalom
The three categories are the same here in the US. I'm in Minnesota and feel the same way you feel. Here it's called Minnesota nice, but undocoverly destroying you. Most Ghanaian and African just take the belittling just to survive and say nothing to their families back home. To make it in America as a black person ;you will have to act as a young boy or girl even though your a grown man or woman. Nice summary of what it really is.
Truth well spoken that most Africans abroad can identify with. One can not ignore the passion burning inside to pursue one’s true passion & realise one’s full potential 👌🏿
It's identically story to every African living in the west, we don't appreciate what we have until we lose it, things that people need to know before moving back home is going back rent free, if not you will park your bags when the rent is due, Ghana is a nice place to live if you go back with your own terms, l will be moving back in two and half weeks time from the UK, Good luck to everybody who want to make the move
I recently purchased land in Accra, already have a place in Cape Town and Daughter is still back in Brisbane in Uni, so i decided, I'll be popping in and out of OZ, but Africa is my home. I've just subscribed.
I was so fixated on the narration and forgot the video stream. Every aspect of the story was on point. All the reasons layout are those I would never thought about (Quality of life) and the following example, absolutely brilliant. I am definitely subscribing, as this was an education for me and I am sure others.. Thank you and well done
Thanks for this Video Sista. I am not a Ghanian but a German and i writing these lines with wet Eyes if i am listening to your voice and your experience in the so called civilized western world. Your experiences makes me very sad. I have been 15 years in Ghana between the 90th and the 2000th. I am living in Hamburg and in a mixed Area. My neighbors are Ghanians, Polands, Russians and Turkish People. In Ghana I have made one of my most beautyfull Adventures in my Life. I love Ghana and the People. To me Ghanians are the one of the most friedliest and loveliest People around the World and i have been in a lot of countries before. Here at my hometown i know a lot of Ghanians and i specially looking for to make friends with them. I enjoy the firendship and the companion. Hard working People and always friendly. In Germany we respect Ghanians because Germans know them like that: willing to work hard, be a part of the community, willing to help and willing to take responsability, just nice people. All these are qualities that are valued everywhere. That is why many Ghanians work as nurses in hospitals or in the care of the elderly or in kindergartens here in Germany. I can't understand the Australians, how stupid the are. And of course we have also such Idiots here. I believe they are everywhere. I see them as rats and cockroaches. Dont listen to them, i am sure they have some mind defects. For me to say, that i have decided to move to Ghana this autumn and stay there for the rest of my life. I am honored with Ghanian friends which I know for sooooooo long over 30 Years. I predict that in Ghana is a Future for a lot of people. Germans have start to escape from here, Ghanians go back there and i see that Ghana has a lot to offer who is willing to come over and help to build the country. And the propaganda about poor Ghana and all that bullshit what i hear from People saying, i must start to laugh, because they dont know anything. What i can say definetly is that if i am in Ghana i live more healthier, I have more freedom, I have more time, more Energy, just have a more more better life. I am longing for Ghana. We all here in this channel we know that Ghana is not poor, but the western world is taking everthing away from the natives. Like americans, the chinese, the arabs and many more are robbing and looting and plundering africa. Ghana is on its best way to be one of the leading countries if not in africa but in western africa. It is allright now. I predict a bright future for Ghana. Right now, Ghana is feeding with its crops over 2 Billion People worldwide. Yes you are reading right. 2 Billion Poeple. What a power. Which country can say that from itself? I getting my residential permit very soon, i take a wife having children and build a better life in Ghana. May our Lord bless you all and let us build a better world for our Children, all together as one, as Bob Marley is singing. I am prepared. Ghana I am coming soon, the lost Son comes back home.
I can relate with this, I feel u sis. I lived in Melbourne for 7years and could not take it anymore - I wanted my children to thrive in an environment where they fit in, I had 5 under 11 when we moved, we wanted them to make genuine contacts, experience the warmth of family and friends. Seeing the container dropped on your lawn made me smile, I did just that, packed everything and off we went. It was challenging but we kept our eyes on the ball, once my eldest had finished her junior sec school we came back again, we wanted the kids to be able to do their uni in Aussie which they are doing now, another move is on the horizon for my hubby and I again😛cos as the saying goes, East West North, home is the best. My First who was 11 when we left Melbourne, is now a Medical Doctor. My children repeatedly tell me that their best days was when we spent 4 years back home, they made friends that they are still in touch with. When we came back to Aussie we settled in the tropical north part of Aussie as the cold is not for us. Good luck sis, truly back home, more than not, does bring out the best in us after living in the west
No comments but just to say thank you for your assessments of the West and Australia as pertaining to the perplexities Africans have to endure and the wake up call to make the move to Africa for a more fulfilling life early, before it is too late.
@@Korewaa-GhBizGirl Hi my dear sister trust you are well. Like you we are heading to ghana in 2 days for good. A family of 5. Would love for us to meet whiles there. How can we engage. Cheers
Happy for you Korewaa , I’m going too .. working on my 3 year plan too . You’ll be so happy at home 🏠, and that’s what life is all about. Being you .. being free , being happy..!! Peace and Blessings sister 🌟🌸🙏🏾
Much respect to you Sister. I've been a subscriber to your channel for a while now and you're an inspiration for sure. I currently reside in London but I'm looking to move to Ghana in 2023. Even though I was born and raised here, every time I go back to Ghana I just feel like I'm home and get depressed whenever I have to come back to London. Please keep us updated...love your videos!
Wow this is interesting, I've always thought Australia was better until hearing it from you. I have come to a conclusion that anywhere the light-skinned meets the dark-skinned, there is an issue of colorism and that can be very stressful. There is no place like home, I'm happy for you and your family. All the best !
Life will never be perfect. You have country, culture and love forever reigns supreme and returning to a kingdom that needs your hands in its development of it greatness.. Congrats!
I know a friend who move to Ghana from the UK 6 years ago and now desperately trying to get back as all business plans didn't work out and life is not easy out there too. Unless you have a secure business, back up funds or job. Don't take the risk. You are a nurse and husband is an accountant yet you are not happy, hmmm good luck with your move.
I'm glad that Ghana is becoming a place that Ghanaians in diaspora can go back to. It's not the case for me as a Nigerian. I'd continue to live in the US until I'm established well enough to command a very high role globally. I'm currently working on my Masters with a focus to bagging a PhD from the top schools I've always dreamt about while in Nigeria: MIT Sloan, Stanford or Wharton Upenn. I feel the void everyday but I'm eternally grateful that I have somewhere to run to like the US because life in Nigeria is unbearable to say the least.
Thank you for your inspiring vlog, I too am making the move back to Jamaica. I am a single woman but my parents are there and being there makes me happy. The country isn’t perfect but neither am I and I’m willing to put my all in to make to work and let god so the rest. I can’t wait for the updates. Bless 🙏🏼
Very beautiful and inspiring content. I am an OZ PR and migrated from Nigeria few years back and I have since been trying to put up things back in Africa in preparation for going back home in the near future. Home will always be home. I wish you the very best. Cheers
You've taken the words right out of my mouth. I've directed my nearest and dearest to this video so I don't have to explain my reason to BlaXit. Thanks for an excellent video.
Wow you made a very brave and encouraging stand there are thousands of people world wide who feels the same But are scared to make this move you have helped so many people to make their own decisions ❤️👍🏾
Even though I was born and raised in the western world, I have never felt it home,had many experiences also, I to can't wait in the near future to relocate to my home in ghana and settle,we are putting plans in action also,stay blessed,love your videos.
You are making the right move. Living with fake smiles, lies and down right hate is extremely stressful. Not being liked for your character is doable but just for the color of your skin is down right evil. Together we will build Africa to be the continent we know it can be. Welcome home.
You said EXACTLY how I feel. I was born in the U.K. and have never felt at home. I’ve always felt like a a second or third class citizen. I’ve always felt like the British just tolerated me but never liked me. They would give you these pretend fake smiles but you knew that didn’t really like you. Even at work you feel like you are walking on egg shells conscious of not making any mistakes or else you’ll be summoned to see the manager. You don’t know who to trust because as you rightly said they smile in your face and STAB you in the back. When I’m in Africa or the Caribbean I feel so free and relaxed all the tension is gone and I can just be ME !
Awww, I don't even know you but I'm sooooooo happy for you!!! This is amazing news. Congrats on the final move. My dad is Ghanaian and mum Guyanase and I really felt at home when I first visited even got my Ecowas passport. The motherland is home for all us diaspora's and can't wait to finally be home x
Sense of belonging is very important, providing motivation to contribute to development wherever you live! Many Ghanaians dream of leaving to Australia but the fact is Australia doesn’t need them. Ghanaian elites & those in positions of power have failed miserably to create opportunities for their citizens causing wave after wave of Ghanaians moving. You may enjoy panfool respect from Ghanaians when you get back to ghana 🇬🇭 because they feel they can benefit- you mention pretense, hypocrisy& outright hostility , it’s in Ghana also! In Ghana, you’re home so fight for collective freedom, justice & prosperity ! The overwhelming majority is impoverished & governance is anarchy. So are going to be part of the elites oppressing the poor or join the revolutionaries to transform Africa into paradise ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
WOW, I wish I can click the like button a thousand times! you're very inspiring, I hope your new journey in Ghana, is the beginning of a great new future. I totally agree with the statement about the covert racist, who thinks we're all stupid to know that they're just pretending to show that they don't hate us. That's the same story here in Canada, they're so afraid of being labelled racist to the extend that they'll even claim to have black friends.
Sister Korewaa I am coming. Been in the West for 26 years. Never step a foot on the soil of Ghana. But there has always been a burning desire to return. Unfortunately an event took place when left a sour taste in my mouth about Ghana. Slowly I am getting the desire to go back home again. Your reasons are the exact same reasons I've been wanting to go back since I stepped foot on a western soil....not by choice..travelled out of Ghana when I was very young.
What a nice and honest video, and so true. Being a native German, living and working for 6 years here and enjoying it I will move very soon to Accra finslly with my beloved Ghanaian wife. I love your mental agility and your being focused. A great sample for others who only sit down and repeat like a broken record : "God will help me". What a refreshing difference you make. Aquaaba!
I am very happy for you. You will do well in Ghana. I will be there not long after you, if not before you. You have inspired me and have succeeded in taking me with you as you said in one of your videos.
Yayy!!! Walky I'm so happy to hear your good news....yes I remember "I am on a mission to take as many people back with me" I am happy you came along. We would meet in Ghana God willing 🙏🏾. I wish you travel mercies.
Of all the videos I have viewed of reasons for moving back to Africa, in my opinions this the best video. A really interesting perspective without being over emotional.
Congrats! I'm so happy for you all! I love your videos. When I feel frustrated and want to give up on Ghana your videos always remind me of why I'm here and I check myself instantly lol. The west is a mess and yes we don't belong there. Thank you so much! You keep me pumped ❤💛💚 🇬🇭
Congratulations on your move. Welcome Home!! I think it is right that you have returned home where you can share your talents and help build up your own country and dare I say flourish. Too often we believed that the best places are in the west whilst totally ignoring the gift we have been given by God almighty. If you are willing to work hard and give God the glory you can make it wherever you go. At the end of the day, 'home is where the heart is'.
Good one You inspired me for investing in Ghana a friendly place with a political stability, I am not a Ghanian but a Nigerian American based in USA More grease to your elbow
I am so happy. it's as, it was me who returned to Ghana. Everything you say in the video is my current situation. Your video encourages me and gives hope. For me, it's a good decision that you made. Happiness and inner peace are priceless. May God assist you in all that you are going to achieve in Ghana. Thank you for this wandeful video🙏🏿❤️
All the best to you and your family. I am just waiting for my son to complete his secondary school and then I am moving to Ghana. I've bought land in Ghana (thank to one of your videos) and I run a business here in UK importing goods from Ghana, which I hope to continue after moving. I am not Ghanaian myself but I love the country, its culture and people and business opportunities are just enormous in Ghana.
My dear, I've done it, in my second year back in Ghana. Not easy at all but definitely worth it. The future is promising . I relate to most of your story. This is the time to move, please hit it on the head mate 😍😍
I am super frustrated! Thank you so much for your candid post!!! I lived in Ghana, but my son missed the conveniences of the West. I now live in Colombia, South America. I hate the micro and macro aggressions of western culture. I miss the peace of being a woman in Ghana. I have made up my mind to return to Ghana this summer. God bless you and your family. I pray for the best for you!
I just came across one of your videos about the poultry farm and immediately subscribed. Love to women that are industrious. I should credit you , You’re such a great narrator! Thanks so much for sharing. Most of us outside the country will vividly related to your experience. It takes a strong and determined/decisive minded person to relocate, with also supportive family. I wish you and your family all the best .
Ooo dear the way am tired of living in Uk 🇬🇧 when am in Ghana the peace my life get oooo am tired of living in western world 🌍 I will see soon let’s build our country Ghana is the best place
Hi, Thank you for sharing your experiences and decision about moving to Ghana. I’m born in the UK but as a child of Jamaican immigrants I like many other people of colour are treated just as you describe.... in every area of Bkack people are treated I would say less than 2nd class citizens. I hope to visit Ghana soon, having just taken my Ancestey DNA that indicates that my family line is indeed in Ghana. ( due to enslavement )So who knows I may see you there. Wishing you and your family well on your Journey to new and exciting opportunities.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥
Well done...again. Welcome home...again. But hoping you add to aims one to 'help make Ghana better' too. You've got a lot to give and Ghana needs all our hands and minds too.
The beauty of Africa is that an African can live anywhere in Africa, literally, without feeling out of place. Living abroad, I soon learnt not to see Africans as designated by country. My group of friends included Ethiopians, Ugandans, Zimbabwean etc.So I noticed also how Africans tended to have friends from certain parts of Africa of they were from say, the Southern countries, then their friends would mostly be from that part of Africa. That’s just the world we live in. So you choosing to go back to Africa is great and I hope you and your family are happy and fulfilled.
