This is the kind of interview or information we need from our various Media platform, to bring hope and inspire everyone living in the country and forget our politicians 🙏🙏 God bless you...
Home tuition for kids after school is another opportunity to create jobs…I had engaged one for the past 3yrs until I decided to engage a new one due to high cost.Now the new one I got had to be fired new to absenteeism within 3 months so this goes to show how some youth are not serious in life and wants an easy way out.
Arguably one of the best interviews I have heard from this channel. I will definitely buy his books and support this movement of changing our mindset towards Ghana and Africa as a whole. Do what others will not do today and see what the future avails to you! SVTV Africa, thank you. When are you coming to Vancouver Canada to visit and see the daily hustle here? I'd be happy to host you.
Bravo. Your message is loud & clear. Life is too short. I agree with all your ideas & perspectives in life. One thing I have difference of opinion as someone who has been away for many years. Some of us will like to invest but the disincentive, bureaucracy & dishonesty of the system put fear in us. There is no space on this forum to list a litany of problems that some of us have encountered. Like many immigrants, we are taking advantage of what America offers.
I agree with everything he’s saying but I disagree slightly with something. Let’s understand that the business environment in Ghana isn’t very friendly. I wanted to start a pharmacy in Ghana and going through the right process it’s very straightforward and easy but the secretary there told me point blank that if I don’t bring a brown envelope it will take me more than 2 years to get the license. Secondly too there’s no tax holiday for such a small start up, the money you start GRA will be on your neck to pay tax meanwhile the foreigners who start businesses in Ghana have tax holidays for almost a year so how will you survive? Thirdly there’s no proper regulation on renting shops so shop owners decided on their own what to charge for a shop. But if you’re able to jump all that hurdle you’ll make it very well.
I wouldn't be surprised if that secretary also got the job with a brown envelope! Anyway, is it possible for the 'local' business community to put more pressure on politicians, whichever political party, for a better business environment? That is if they can be selfless to tackle the issue for the common good: some battles are better fought from within (as in those feeling the pinch the most). A lot of 'conveniences' in developed countries were fought for, for the common good, by people who were feeling the pinch the most.
@@gh_blaqsoap2846 very possible she did but bro sometimes I think we the people are not angry enough or is the other way around that even if we’re angry enough and demand for accountability our leaders just don’t care, like a 2 edged sword. Sometimes you can’t even come to the understanding of what our problem actually is, politics has eaten soo much into us that we can’t even be object in our criticism and judgements. Why should it be so difficult for the indigenous person find it difficult to access credit to establish a business that will eventually employ others but sooo easy for the foreigner to do? Even if you hustle to raise the capital you can’t compete with them. One other thing also is political monopoly, I tried bringing in drugs from Germany with the help of a friend for my pharmacy and doing the maths I could make more than what I was buying from drug lane and the other big pharmaceutical companies and to my surprise Tobinco, Ernest chemist and Aid chemist have the monopoly at the ports, in that sense have people they’ve paid to frustrate anyone bringing drugs in from outside and this was someone at the port who told me point blank it will take Jesus Christ to help me clear my goods even though I paid the duties in full and had all my documents in place. I had to call a big man in the army I’ve helped in the past to return me the favor by helping me clear my goods and it took months for that to be done and since then I’ve advised myself. Why should our system be designed to frustrate young people trying to do business? There’s a problem with our system. I believe a lot of people have business ideas or the capital to start but they’ve all hit rock bottom so it’s not as easy as it sounds meanwhile it’s like that abroad because I live abroad so I know what I’m saying
I remember in 2003 I borrowed 300gh and came to Accra to buy 14 inch color tv and stoffen chairs the rest of the money I couldn't account for it I did it because of pressure from friends who had those items in their rooms I later realized it was not worth it
Comparing Ghana to abroad is chalk and cheese. Mr Obeng needs to critically understand or examine how things are done in the Western world. They've got their laydown rules if you follow them you'll be successful. Most people who travel abroad are migrants and it's always difficult for migrants to be successfully independent it's the generations that come after the migrants like kids, grandchildren, etc are the ones that most of the time can become wealthy. The migrant always sees him/herself as a sacrificial lamb for his or her immediate family and that of the ones back home (extended family members).
@@dondee3503you are right about systems not working but others have made it big . You just have to a way around it trust me you get something good out of it
Some of us are making it big in ghana if you think other wise you can go outside and work there is no need for you to rubish someone's view of his country His argument is simple he is saying we as youth should focus on the positive side of the country and take advantage of it and put the government on his toes and limit over dependancy on religion and politics What is wrong with what this man is saying if you think otherwise fine
That is not true If you have money in abroad no one will come to ask you how did make your money but if they know that dealing with drugs or wrong that one they will come and ask how you got your money.
Salary can make you rich, depending on where you live, I have alot of millionaire($) in my company! You cannot be rich in Ghana as a salary worker because the company’s owner himself/herself is not a millionaire. How can you be a millionaire!
Why marry if all you make is 1000gh a month? It’s common sense. The Person is not ready to have a partner then will proceed and say Ghana is hard when in fact your salary is not enough for one person
