I'm a professional teacher at primary school here and I say what the helll it's to be a teacher in Ghana 🇬🇭, as a diploma teacher our average salary is $130 a month but I personally because my student loan back at the college 🎓, I'm now taking $111 per month. But here we go!!!! What you do? We're only trying our best to live with minimum expectations and yet with hope in God almighty, still won't relent. Greetings from Ghana 🇬🇭
But in Ghana, that money isn't Lil depending on where you live. Plus private school teachers earn less than y'all but they teach better and more dedicated than public school teachers. Many of you, don't merit that pay even, am sorry.
During the pandemic where there was lockdown, as a nurse and the stress that came with the job, it was Kwadwo Sheldon who was my greatest companion. Up to date, I can’t go a day without visiting his channel. I’m not surprised he’s been featured on BBC. KUDOS my guy and the head is big for a reason😂😂😂😂
As an African RU-vidr I will keep pushing with the motivation that one day my channel will grow and pay off like Kwadwo Sheldon. The hustle is real but I believe that my audience will keep growing. Congratulations to Sheldon, Asantewaa and Osagyefo.
Social Media can be used as an informative tool but let us not be deceived that it is what is going to grow our economies. If everybody is to jump on social media who is going to grow our real sector economy.
$1000 is A lot of money in most African countries. Africans really should take social media more seriously rather than focusing on traditional jobs which pay peanuts.
Welcome to the reality of every country on earth. Most people working will never be on top We just suffer differently or make the suffering look better
Everyone can have money but how to maximize it and utilize it to the best possible is a whole different blessings on it own. May we all have the blessing of maximizing our wealth and utilizing it in a way that benefits us and rest of mankind. Have a wonderful weekend, y’all.
This is lovely of BBC News Africa to do this , indeed, RU-vid is such a beautiful place to be,to make good income, we focus on creating a good content to help others out there but not really not easy with our 9 to 5 job..
Thank you BBC and congratulations to the content creators interviewed. I will keep pushing till I build my own audience but truth it’s not easy especially when you are from northern Ghana 🇬🇭. God bless us all 😊
Thanks @BBC. I've started my RU-vid channel to share my knowledge about the forex market and how youths can make a living from trading but I'm amazed about the opportunities that social media has in stock for us especially RU-vid.
I'm highly motivated watching this video from these gurus on social media. I understand with hard work we can equally get there with time. To anyone reading this, even as you have fun lets put in the work so it counts in our bank accounts
Regardless of what TikTok says, I've heard from other sources (news programs, documentaries, personal acquaintances, etc.) that they take 70% of the amount sent. The fact that this same amount is consistently and independently found by different groups/channels/organizations in different countries shows that TikTok is lying about their cut, most likely because they know this THEFT from the poor would outrage most of the world
Everyone's salary is in his or her mouth and mind, is all about your lifestyle, skill, or ability to do it and do it better which is your God given gift . Ayekooooo guys, Yawa of the day is when you fall, ok, don't give up, never.
Ghanaian content creators are overselling the country and inadvertently causing gentrification in Accra so much so that regular Ghanaians can no longer afford to live in their capital
You guys should ask Facebook why there are not paying content Creators in Africa after technically guiding them on how to turn their pages in a professional mode! It a cheat
