HOUSE TOUR FROM DERELICT TO LUXURY | Italian grew up in Nigeria now living in Ghana | House & Hustle 

Beautiful

South America and south east Asia would beg to differ. Nations around the equator share similar climates not just africa

I’m in the DC area also. Take me with you😩

@@78vette11 no problem, I will 😂 I live 4000 Massachusetts ave. near America University, Ward circle

Please post on you tube when they are done. Get an interview with Vanessa. I'll stay there if it's Airbnb. 🇯🇲

ALL of the foreigners moving to AFRICA should give more than they're taking from the African people!!!!!!!!!! There are waaaaaaaaaaaay too many videos of them bragging about how great our mother continent is without showing evidence of them giving back to the native people!!!!!!!!!

Cool ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AsPKU9BMgLs.html

@@Better2BFree Do you consider foreigners AA diasporans? If so, what should they be giving and exactly what are "taking"?

@@Better2BFree You can use your energy complaining while they seize the opportunity. Story of our lives.

Yes because we lack creative ideas, and also our leaders don't like us as much as foreigners, when a Ghanaian shipping things to home you will pay so much.

Absolutely I'm ivorian and I live in Italy design and architecture italian are number one!

If you purchase a property you're entitled to do whatever you want with it

@@d.jmamba7237 yes talked like a true African with no aesthetic

And this is why many African countries have poorly designed residential architecture.

I still love the terrazzo designs.

@@veraaddoyobo8482 the house is really nice. We do not built houses like that anymore. Material was really good quality before to what we have now all made in china

True 👍 it's stunning.

Beautiful

@elorinza lorine why all the spam trolling ?

@elorinza lorine I think their ideology is Universal… lots of people in Ghana/Nigeria/UK, etc. want to have their office, playground, home and family all at one place. I say he is a genius

I would like to see more of this finesse and thought through/well researched approach to interior design/architecture by local people.

Don't forget fashion too.....they're really good😜😜

Italian men are so amazing. Hi all, I'm looking for an Italian man to relocate with me back to east africa. Italian men are huge blessing to our continent. I wish I could find someone like this man. Someone into architecture, design, culinary arts or any meaningful venture. If you love africa and don't mind relocating there to pursue business or just enjoy a simple lifestyle connect with. Italian most welcome but others can be considered eg. swedish german or .......heck, ghanaian.

@@phynnie Embarrassing... Universally, Men don't like desperate women.. tone it down.

@@Kayzef2003 , 👏👏👏👍

@@phynnie Wow. 👀 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@Kayzef2003 you mean men like you? haha. My inbox was flooded with kind words and proposals from very worthy men all over the world. I have spoken to at least 16 of them - 3 from Ghana, 5 from Italy 2 from New Zealand, 2 from the US 1 from Liberia and 3 from Germany. This tells me that African men cannot handle a strong financially independent woman. May be thats why Africa lags behind. Perhaps if you changed the way you reason you'd probably be very far COURTESY of a strong independent woman. Now, run back to your hut! I'm getting into business with my new found love/business associate

@The lionesses The loneliness must be killing you... Get a life

That’s Italians for you they don’t waste land unlike our people 😂😂

Thedoingwell, so you can't create employment in Ghana.

@@hortenseclarke2589 : In such a corrupt system where the state is packed with cronyism nepotism causing incompetency at all levels, it's just complimentary to give him some credit. That's all

Diaspora, why are we staying in this hell hole called America? Get out now.

Let’s go use our creativity and do our own hustle🤗 Mama Africa is calling us!

@@ruqayyahcurtis7504 She lives in England. Her name is Patricia and she is also very successful.

Thanks Patricia :) x

I would die and go to heaven is Patricia commented on my video or even mentioned my name!!!!!

Its a great house

Exactly!! I see all these new homes and they look so sterile it feels like a museum. This feels cozy and the green space is a plus. Loving every bit of it.

Yeah and other African countries too.

🏫🏫🏫🏫🏫🌄

Stop putting all Ghanaians in the same bag. Have you Seen all the houses in Ghana Before getting to this conclusion ?? Stop comparing estates houses with the other houses. Ooo Thanks.

@Chris Maloney what has this got to do with Nigeria rubbish

@Chris Maloney Nonsense have you being to Ghana before? Nkwasea line sei

Fred, Ghanaians cannot take criticism ooo😄

@@pripriakua2341 He does not need to see all Ghanaian houses. What he is saying are facts. Man, we need some attutide change among ourselves. Its constructive critisism.

Agree amber ice ❤

Gold is what you make from your mind . 1 g of gold in the desert is not worth more than a bottle of water!

Always negative. As Nigerians aren’t everywhere today looking for ‘gold’

@@danielakalamudo4360 Does Kofi sound like a Nigerian name to you? What hatred you must have for Nigerians

@elorinza lorine huh? i don't understand you

@@ken.drick. that’s the man in the video’s daughter.the daughter you saw in the video

@@worldformatics Oh. I still don't know what she's saying, and she's said it again and again. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Because Africans don't bother Nobody, you can be whatever it build whatever you want. Unlike the rest part of the world

What company ?

We shouldn’t define diversity by racial diversity. Ghana has always been diverse with or without non-African nationals.

@@livingfinance nope if its being pushed in Europe then it must be pushed in Africa and Asia no double standards.

Good point

Exactly

But you need a lot of money to do so. This family are extremely handy and understand construction and design that isn’t the case for many people in the African diaspora.

@@livingfinance Remember they didn’t start rich at all if you really know where this man( family) came from. Perseverance is the key here. They are already 3 generations old to acquire all that you see! He and some friends followed the path of some earlier hometown guys( same village) to Nigeria in the 1970’s and early 1980’s and ended up in Ghana. Remember his daughter, that new mom was only 5 months when he arrived from Nigeria! Besides most South Europeans adapt to African countries quite easily. They are already a buffer between Europe and Africa. He and his friends might have first had problems with English on arrival but Italians especially those from the south are the best under such conditions. You may still see his offsprings living there in 100 years time! They don’t easily give up! Just think of early Italians arrival in US. Another bonus aspect is the tight family network. Both daughter and son join dad and mom to strengthen and expand the family business. Something that the family has been doing since the 18th century! Again South Europeans had it rough in North and other parts of Western Europe, especially in the 1950’s 1960’s till late 1970’s when they came to work in the mines and new factories as guest workers! Most Southerners have strong will and aren’t born with silver spoons in their mouth!

@@esson7994 I have seen some of these construction projects that you speak of, very few are well designed. Lot of amateur construction that proves that it is built with temporary residency in mind. The level of attention to detail showcases by this family isn’t commonly seen by many construction projects done by the diaspora due to lack of knowledge of construction and spatial planning.

ghana pple, take notes from the man. do you see any ugly burgler in his house. why the ghana people builds good house and put ugly window grills they need to stop.

Thank you! The video was 1h30m (cut down to 30 min) I like to let the interviewee speak. I did ask about why he moved to Ghana in the gym & some of the others but not everything could be left in. I appreciate your feedback. I have many videos and hope that none of them are blank 🥴🤪

I disagree with you. I hate when people say someone is more an ethnicity than another. Realistically she knows she will never be treated like a full Ghanaian because she doesn’t look it and many non-African communities who live throughout Africa often create enclaves and keep ties to their countries of origin. Also there is different historical perspective from Europeans settling in Africa vs Africans settling in Europe. I am diasporan but I don’t think she is more African than I am because she grew up in Africa. You can live somewhere and never have to interact with local people and be completely disconnected. Geography does not equate full integration.

In addition, Italians emphasize citizenship by blood not by birth. It is extremely hard for Africans to earn Italian citizenship. I think it’s important to not lose perspective in the world that we live in. It is much easier for Europeans to settle in Africa than the reverse and her family are very much aware of their status and novelty and the perception that local Africans have of Western white people.

I agree. I really like the video, but I like the content of a question rather than just the subject of the video doing the general talking. I wish there was more background about this man, his family, how he ended up in Africa, etc. It definitely could have been included in a 30 min video and still have a full vision of the house.

@@livingfinance I think she means culturally, but yes I do agree with you she lives in Ghana but she is definitely very much more Italian than Ghanaian... I couldn't get a full sense of their attachment to the continent or Ghana, so can't really say much...

if were you I'd focus on all the Kenyan women rushing to the Middle East to be house help (read: house slaves) and being severely mistreated and abused. And don't bother argue against this because there are a thousand videos on RU-vid detailing this.

you people always comment this and I have to roll my eyes bc theres not one bit of analysis or nuance in these comments. ask why the Italians left their precious Europe in the first place.

@@SiaLi- any Caucasian who has a bunch of money can easily come in Africa and set up himself up //without fearing that black Africans will pull him down / unfortunately many Africans don’t like to see other Africans like them to succeed … some sort of self hatred extended & continuation … ( still this should not stop us ) to build our own dream in our superb continent …. Does even Africans realise that they have the best landscape nature with the beautifulest animals … ? Just to name that richness ….

@@SiaLi- people like you truly amaze me if you think European is living in Africa it’s going to improve our lives do you are highly mistaken. why must we be welcoming when they are not welcoming to us have some self-love/respect about yourself

@@amzyblues405 wtf are you talking about? can you read? bc I said the same thing you said.

Yes I defo live by this! Thanks will do !

Thought of that too. Great concept - HOUSE AND HUSTLE.

I’ve contacted HGTV about not featuring House Hunters in African countries in their international show. I’ve only seen a handful of house hunters in Ghana.

@@kaydenpat Well. Ghana has been highlighted on HGTV more than the rest of the continent though. Lolol

I'm guessing it's not so much the location or house that someone lives in but rather how that act outside the house in everyday life

Yeah, there so many ways nowadays

Heyyyyy Caroline 😍
