IN GHANA THERE ARE HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS, IN EUROPE YOU’RE FIGHTING A MACHINE 🇬🇭 

As Jamaican born in Montego Bay, raised in Washington DC, my first girlfriend now my wife is a Ghanain, we have 2 kids. I have opportunity to visit Ghana for 6 times, we are also building apartments in ABURI MOUNTAINS for rent. Any time I come to Ghana, my blood pressure is very low, 24 hours before leaving to the United States, my blood pressure also going up, I can even sleep in the night in DC. We are currently back to Ghana with our kids for 4 weeks vacation. 95 percent of our apartments are almost done, we'll moved back for good December this year 2022 to Ghana because Africa the Motherland is a paradise to live🌍🇬🇭🇯🇲🌲🌴🌳🤜🏿🤛🏿

Hi .it was nice to stumble on this interview, I feel exactly how this gentleman feels like, having lived in Ghana from age 9 to 19 .my parents are Russian descent. We left Ghana 1979 but Ghana never left me . I have bin living in Canada ever since, but Ghana never left me I will always be that white African boy that I am proud of.

Is astonishing a German born in Ghana, knows more about Ghana than many Ghanaians. If that's a thing

I am of Indian origin but was born in Takoradi...Ghana in 1952. My Dad had a business there for many years. We left for good in 1970 to Dubai.

I salute people who accept the positive culture of the place where they live.

The guy is very sensible. He's real and has people's skills. Live in the UK but Ghana will be my final destination in the future. GH all any day.

Fantastic interview and for me personally very recognizable having lived and worked in the 1980's in Ghana myself .

This man is a true true ghanian with culture. God is great and life is strange you can be a black man but your soul belongs to western world and you can be white with your soul in Africa. Soul is the real in us

YAO van Landwijk, I love the way this man sees life... fantastic interview!!!

Mr Yao has said the Truth Ghanaians are not lazy you have to pay them well they'll work hard for you

I know Yao. He was a young 7 to 10 year old, when his mum brought him to work occasionally. I worked with his mum at the Ghana National Museums and Monuments Board. His mum was the Librarian and I was an Administrative Assistant at the Registry of the administrative department of GMMB. This was in the seventies. Dr Joyce Aryee worked there too, as Senior Administrative Officer.

Ana, I can’t believe you kept this gem of an interview - which I adjudge your best so far on Ghana - hidden until now! This is a crime! Now you know why you are depressed in Europe. The lack of human relationships is so sad. We may be poor in Ghana, but we know how to touch each other with our humanity. Here in New York City, you dare not look in someone’s face or make eye contact when you are sitting in a crowded train or bus. You have to pretend you don’t see each other. On another point; the other day, I posted on an expatriate forum that the police and those at the airport in Ghana beg for tips and not bribes and do so because it is impossible for them to live on their salaries. From what Yao has told you, you now know how difficult things are for the average Ghanaian worker. With all the lockdowns and whatnots in Europe, I know you, your husband and kids will definitely find your way back to Ghana again and you would not be happier! Wishing your family the best of the season! Keep the gems coming!

Eti sen Wo ho te sen As a Nigerian/American, who has been to Ghana over 4x, both as a child, and doing work as an adult, including to villages, who has also been to Achimota, and toured the girls secondary schl as a child, I absolutely loved this! Loved what he said about increased wages and benefits. Started a new role and have never been around a more happier productive team, and this is the reason why! When you take care of your workers, they are happy and want to do well for the company. Medase pa to Anna and uncle Yao for this amazing interview. It blessed me much!

Its always true,once born a Ghanaian,there is this urge in you that pulls you home no matter where you find yourself ,you feel like coming back home to start something instead

I am not African, do not know how I found this, and I am not even Dutch. I found this video fascinating. I also enjoyed your son in the background playing with the sweet yellow dog. You have such a nice way about you.

There a lot to learn from this Dutch man. Am really impressed with the accurate analysis and solutions he provides for doing business in Ghana. Great segment.

When I grow up I want to live like Yao. Simple meaningful life

Great interview! Yao seems to understand the privilege in which he was born. He appears to have embraced the country, its people and the cultures in all their glory. A true testament to Anna's interviewing style which has made this such an enjoyable watch. Well done!!

This video just made me so nostalgic....I have been to Ghana countless times but now I live in Germany.....just saying hello and chatting and laughing with people in the street or bus is NON EXISTENT here. Lovely content....

I love the fact that you still have African at your back no matter how the discrimination . Keep pushing africa high. The acheampong family.. we support you guys

My mum is Ewe. I love Ghana, this was a really good interview, is nice to hear the story directly from the horses mouth.

Uncle Yao hit the nail right on the head, you feel human and not strange in Ghana.

"The most paranoid people are often the biggest thieves." That's a word!

i totally agree that everyone should be forced to travel around the world to see what diversity means especially to demystify the myth about Africa and for Africans to build confidence..... great interview once again. very knowledgeable man .we should just pray Africa and for that reason Ghana is not automated like europe, we must protect our values and human relations.Cheers

There's something about Ana. She's very calm, polite etc.

Thanks for this video. After 50yrs, I finally know why everybody in Alogboshie was Ewe. I lived near to the main road from 1970 - 1972, next to what was then Pavillion, (later became Neoplan, I think) after which I relocated to Assylum Down. I also had all my friends in the village and the only shop if I recall was for Mr Yawtey?? Great childhood memories for me during this period/ Thanks again.

This man understand the standard of living in Ghana more than some of we Ghanaians

Best interview so far Anna 👌! He is so genuine and says it as it is but at the same time throwing a positive light on life in Ghana as a whole. I like the part where he mentioned, the better you pay people to work and show care, the more they put in their best and the company flourishes like in the west. A very neat and educative interview. Love it 😀.

Anna, he seemed to espouse so many of the values and virtues that you identify with concerning Ghana. Particularly interesting was how he enjoys living in that area vs Accra; the freedom and safety the kids enjoy there; the human interactions; the sentiment about northern European weather/climate; etc. Interesting that this was shared when it was shared. We pray wisdom, favor, peace and courage for your family. The pages of your next chapter have not yet been written. This is just a pause. You've been blessed with a broader perspective of what is possible. God bless you all as your family pursue purpose, your passions and what's possible (rather than just what's common.)

I am proud of you brother Yaw that you make your country Ghana proud and I thank God for people like you.

He has a Ghanaian accent ❤️

Awesome interview. Makes one appreciate Ghana and Africa more especially the warmnes of human interaction, which is so key to living a happy life. Thanks Anna!

Wow! I really learned a lot from this interview it’s fantastic! I am an African living in the Netherlands, Netherlands is changing too many apartments building being constructed in every space it is terrible no more farm land that had me saying wow! When I first got here. Yes the life here is no fun you feel like you are in prison. Anyway thanks for this lovely interview. God blessed.

I always look forward to your great interviews, I'm a Ghanaian but lives in South Africa

Yao is a very interesting person! I always enjoy the conversations I have with him and honestly, he has said things to me, brought different perspectives, which have stuck with me over the years. Was great he has been interviewed finally.

Even though you guys live in the Netherlands now I still enjoy your Ghana vlogs better . Great video 🔥

I literally smiled all the way through this video. Yao and his story is fascinating 🤨! Thanks Ana for sharing this incredible interview!

Loved the interview - key take seats: - human interactions is very important - if you treat employees right and show you care they’ll take care of your business

Anna, this interview was fantastic and what he is saying is universal. I'm sure employers in other contries all over the world could benifit from his words/knowledge.

Anna you are so beautiful and you seem so comfortable in this RU-vid life, it feels like you are made for this. Keep it up. This interview is such a Gem. I can’t wait for you guys to find your way back to Ghana. Happy holiday

it’s a nice conversation and relaxing interview , he has the love for his birth place Ghana, he can claim Ghanaian as well. We need more of such interviews

Oh wow, I can't believe this man grew up in Alogboshie Achimota same place I was born and grew up.

Much RESPECT Sir. For being who you are. Watching from Deventer Holland 🇳🇱. YOU ARE INTELLIGENT MAN👍. In Holland sometimes you Greet Someone he will not Respond

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview, Anna! Great job!!

What a beautiful interaction. Thank you Anna for sharing it with us!

Anna, this was perfect, I will finish watching, but had to leave this reaction to Yao doubling wages, so many Ghanaian friends are struggling for work, and being offered wages that are not livable in Accra, that might only cover rent, or sometimes not even transport to and from work, to be then accused of stealing. No wonder the business turned around, things need to change for the better for Ghanaians and Ghana!

This interview blew me away. Great job Anna👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Am a Zambian RU-vidr and I have found this Interview very Educational !

Wat een bijzonder verhaal! Dank voor het delen Anna.

Anna, I always enjoy your interviews...thank you for another great one...

Best interview and perhaps video yet. I thoroughly enjoyed the interface.

The last part of the interview got me shaking my head😍

This man knows all thanks Anna for this wonderful interview.

Great interview!!!! More like this!! Agreed Ghanaians aren't lazy, paying horrible isn't right!

Very informative and enjoyable. Thank you Anna, and Yao!

Ana, this is one of your best videos, I really enjoyed the conversation.

The prez, his vice and the finance minister should consult you asap, you're are just too valuable. Thanks sir I've picked valuable lessons for my company.

So far the most valuable video I have watched from your channel. Vital information.

Interesting interview . Very inspiring and to learn about the experiences of people who live in different cultures and seem to value these experiences. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Curacao

That's how I was raised...international schools and traveling until age 18, but then I have had trouble truly feeling at home in my home country. I'm in my late 50's and ready to retire overseas!

I love love love the title!!!

Travel is the best education. My wife and I between us have been to over 50 countries.
