My mom is moving to Ghana permanently in May and I'm extremely happy for her. She visits Ghana regularly and finds happiness whenever she touches down. She's been abroad for close to 50 years as well so everyone is different. I personally love going back to Ghana, the feeling is different 😂
Remember, visiting Ghana and living in Ghana are two different experiences
The best decision ever.May the Most High bring her safely back to the Motherland
America sucks!
Visiting and Perminent stay aren’t the same…. If you stop providing for your family here…..that’s when you will miss America
@@user-om4mo6wz2oNot every family is the same,stop generalizing.
This man’s life is the real definition of “use what you have to get what you want” 😊😂🤜🏽🤛🏽
Experiences are different. It's all about inmer happiness wherever you find yourself.
Interesting interview. Every person & his/her shared experience. I am also senior Donatello 😂. I beat the guy by few years stay in America. I am currently retired & own a part-time consulting company working from home. I will never condemn the homeland.
Of course America is home now. That’s really a personal choice. Unfortunately we do a disservice if we compare America to Ghana. It’s sad conditions are getting worse at home due to bad leadership. We have the ability to catch with Rwanda. Always proud to read about the leadership of President Paul Kagame.
I know the areas he described in Boston having worked in Massachusetts for close to thirty years until my relocation to Texas. Yes indeed home prices are out of whack there now.
America has issues just like in any country in the world. We shd dispel the notion that it’s a land of milk & honey. There’s abject poverty, crime, homelessness, inadequate healthcare, suicide amongst the youth, etc. in the midst of these problems, there are people who live a decent life.
❤✌🏿Papa Samo 😂
Hi I live here in Richmond TX come to D J Nyame show
With all yr experience
@@afuaowusuaa2865 I will share with my occasional comments if there is the need. I live in Brazoria County. We are close neighbors.
How I wish everyone would take the time to read and understand your comment. The most sane one I’ve come across
Haha is stupid country
I will definitely go back home after some years in 🇬🇧 but I love Gh
Later kraaa anaa lol 😂
I love listening to old man's story , they will give you actual time , date , back to back 😅, they will make sure they remember the named of every reference they made before they continue their story 😂!! I love listening to old borga's story !! Bigups SVTV ✌️✌️✌️
He's dropped a lot of history. Thank you for this beautiful interview. It was refreshing listening to him.
He asked why the country is not doing well but it takes all of us to build our own..
You are right.
Rich or poor would never forsake motherland , who should build the country for us
Are the politicians helping us build it. Ate they not the reason people are leaving Gh in droves. 😅
I don't know anything called motherland. God has not imprisoned us to stay one place. We have the freedom to call wherever we want home. The choice is yours.
@@luqmanabdulqadir9258 go and live in Gaza and call that place home or motherland. It's only the blackman who sees nothing wrong with enjoying the haven which was built by someone else.
@mensahstephen7028 Always waiting for someone else. Wherever you find yourself, read their story and see how they made it. We don't want to do anything but always quick to blame.
Those of you back home should build for your comfort.
One of the best interviews. Thank you DJ!
Experience interview here
But one thing all must understand is that, you can't compare any African country to American or Europe or the G8.
Thanks DJ NYAAMI for this experience interview (papa samo)
Home Sweet home Ghana 🇬🇭is Our Motherland Paradise on Earth 🌍🇬🇭💜✌️🤩
Please forget about home sweet home, home that you have lake and rivers yet you can't get water running 24 hours home with bad roads home with no electricity home sweet home is a falacy
I wonder where you guys get that definition from .. home is where you find your peace and not where you were born k3k3 but cant find peace
Keep dreaming. Ghana is just a stupid country
@@samuelfrempong2043 exactly boss you are right
@@samuelfrempong2043 there is a lot of peace in Ghana..home is home..he is right, create the peace u need in Ghana? So who do u want to create that peace in Ghana? Is there a war in Ghana?
I agree with him on everything he said. The last time i went to Ghana i didn't like it at all expecially driving a car was very dangerous. We have a long way to go in comparisism with Europe or the States.

I really appreciate this father and I have learned a lot from his conversation. But I have few issues with some of our elders but question, when they were leaving our homeland they saw how things were and they wanted to come back and see everything looking so good. My question is that what is their contribution in making the country better than what is was if we are contributing so much time and investment in other countries. It suddens me so much because it seems like they are adding an injury to an insult. At a point in this country US, your experience is not that valuable here in the states but back home all this experience that our father has, it will be very beneficial for our ppl back home. Also, it makes think he is proud of his proud of his country and it makes the younger generation look down on our country but guess what DJ Nyame might be in Ghana performing this interview so there is a progress but it is going to take all hands on deck from our elders with their experience to help this country to be much better. DJ Nyame, I will have to get with you soon by God’s grace…keep up the good work. Thanks
You can walk freely here and you're not a target. There're no iron bars behind your windows and doors.
Let something go wrong and you will be homeless abroad. Add that too
It depends on where you live. There are iron doors and bars here in Philadelphia. 😂
great interview... DJ you need to find new name for borgas who have been in the system for over 50 years
Hahah they will be called Mafia B’s 😅
😂😂😂
Papa samo
Seniest DONATELLO😂
Hahaha...
I like this man, he understand something that people don't know and get it
Very interesting interview. I think this man must come for the 2nd time or more. D J Nyami, thanks for bringing this experienced man.
Let him stay there😂😂😂😂. He will never appreciate anything in Ghana because that's how he has programmed his mind. He will see the problems, not the solutions.
To each, his own… I need to be in Ghana yesterday… I’m going through withdrawal 😢
Speak to me I understand you
True statement by this old Borga .One needs to understand the socio- political and economic landscape of your adopted country!!
They don’t appreciate abroad when they travel
Everyone is a hustler unless the politicians
He is right! There is no need to rush to stay in Ghana. After all, he is well off there. He looks familiar to ne because I attended Christian methodist secondary school from 1974 to 1979. Though, I am old, I will soon relocate permanently to the US.
There reason why many Ghanaians don’t love each other abroad is because, there’s this cultural mentality that once’s you travel abroad, you’ve to make it at all cost. So you’ll see many Ghanaians fighting over jobs and stepping on each other. But in Ghana is different, we all get along. Because we are not in a rush
It's worse in Ghana. We step on each other's neck here.
@@francisyeboah8832 is not worse like you think. Being in a foreign land where most often people are alone, having zero support is more difficult than you think. At least in Ghana you’ve relatives who will come to your rescue, I’m not saying this problem is not in Ghana. But is negligible
You are right
@@francisyeboah8832😂😂😂
I don't know if Ghanaians abroad are cursed with this attitude. They will never support you. When I decided to go to nursing school in Columbus, Ohio, most Ghanaian nurses a discouraged me is a Nigerian lady that explained the process and lead me with the application and even gave me a book to study for the entrance exams and started nursing school. I will forever be grateful to miss Adeola. She's special to me. Some Ghanaians hmmmm
This man is so real and good!
I Ghana, I love beng with my kind. Abroad you can be stuck indoors and also feel soo foreign. Being amongst my people can be challenging, but I enjoy it 😊
This guy sounds like a neighbor. I knew E N Moore, his house and the neighborhood at Asylum Down near Apollo Theatre and Cosy Inn.
Allegent Airline, I remember that. Back Bay, Prudential Centre, State Street, State Street Bank. We went to school in Massachusetts. We were blessed we went legally from Ghana. Those days most Ghanaians in the Boston were attending Universities in Cambridge, Boston or Newton.
I live in the 🇺🇸🇺🇸 but trust me too much work and bills, bills will kill you 😞 but I ❤️ To live in Ghana, though it have a lot of challenges local bad roads health care and the injustice is so bad, but home sweet home.
This man dey look alike Assin North dual citizenship MP paa oooo 😂😂😂
Hahaha
That’s truthful saying, Ghana drivers don’t respect pedestrians. Careless driving all over.
DJ, I dont think there is the need to reinvite him to the show. His impression of development and lifestyle in Ghana appears biased and out of touch. He seems to have made less preparation to return, so he tried to justify his decision with very pathetic comments about Ghana.
It was just like UK to get your NI once you arrive many years ago but now it’s very difficult
Happiness is relative every where. USA is never boring!!
Lies
Woo what a great experience to learn❤❤❤
I don't blame you Sir, cause you can make every place your. home. I support you a lot, kudos to you.
Each one and their experiences in life.You can live in abroad and come to Ghana anytime you want provided you have the means just like living in any city in Ghana and can go to your hometown anytime you want.It sounds a bit worrying to make a plain statement like "I am not coming to Ghana again”meanwhile Ghana is your country.Let’s be cautious in making certain pronouncements.💛🖤💚
Meanwhile you heard him say he's been coming every year since 2019...he go come
I agree with this man in every sense.
I am also in the Hoosier land. Precisely in TIPPECANOE COUNTY, INDIANA. BOILER UP, GO PURDUE UNIVERSITY. I know very well the places in Adabraka that he is making mention of.
I live in Cincinnati not so far away
Great interview. I can tell this man's heart breaks for Ghana.Our corrupt and greedy leaders have destroyed Ghana. How can a minister keep millions of $ at home without source and IRS is mute on the matter.
But remember that time Ghana has only 6 million people and now we are about 32 million
Population increase should come with more prosperity. Greater opportunities with more people available to work. More people with diverse skills, which should open up more opportunities for innovations and business ideas. Quit excuses and look for opportunities in everything. Why do you think most advanced and advancing countries keep on taking migrants? Population is growing everywhere.
@@kikikeel7695 Where would job oppotunities prevail or even increase in a country where many people scorn TRADE or TECHNICAL SKILLS, FARMING and ENTREPRENEURSHIP? Our plight is mostly caused by our twisted mindset : Being an university graduate does not necessarily mean one should restrict one's self to ONLY a corporate setting work. There are so many business opportunities that one's CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS acquired through one's tertially education can help steer any healthy and serious-minded graduate to see a business that even others may hardly see. The difference between us and the so called advanced countries is that, the latter pays equal attention to ALL SECTORS of the economy, be it corporate job, skills or trade, or entrepreneurship etc..., but we do not! I think a change in our mindset may help!
@@kikikeel7695 Thank you!!!! Once a country lays down a solid foundation for prosperity, other things fall into place and can even attract quality migrants. In the 1930s, Canada was underdeveloped, had a popn of 11.5m. Ghana, on the other hand, in 1957, had a popn of aprox 6m. Fast fwd to 2024, Canada popn is aprox 40m (including plenty immigrants o); Ghana ppn is aprox 33m. They built a prosperous country while we increased our popn without prosperity for the people.
Prove the 32 million.
Yes exactly population increases
Wow! I was in in Middle School around this time. I remember Mr. E. N. Moore very well, in Acheampong's government.
Yes I remember those times, I'm watching from USA 🤩👋🤗✌️
my hometown i really appreciate
Simple man n free❤❤
The problem for Ghana now is when you owned land and you’re building in Accra the land guards won’t allow you to build while you made payments of digging fees. Ghana government should do something about this land guards and is only Ghana that police are not doing anything about this criminals.
That’s good for him but I will never stay here in America 🇺🇸 for 50 years straight. I will go crazy with all the stress in this country. Some of us can’t wait to return back to Ghana 🇬🇭. 50 years ahhhh daddy why? 😂
Which stress, no body has forced you to be here. You can make it every where so if you think you are stressed just go home.
The US energy is not for everyone, This man is right...
@@seth8936 how? Which man? Me or him?
You can go back if you think America is bad.
@@shadrackkwakye7049 I don’t need that advise from anyone . I am already in the process of relocating back to Ghana. Some of us have dignity and proud of our roots. We won’t sellout over fries and burgers.
Yeah please bring him back😊
It's not to you boss Ghana is moving backwards.
There was no tension you could get jobs after standard 7 now even after masters you can't get job unless someone knows you
Nothing is static anywhere my friend: Do you really expect that after fifty one years {1973 to 2024), with many degree holders and counting, job oppotunities would have stayed unchanged, where then standard 7 graduates would still have the chance of securing a job easily? Tell me what has moved BACKWARDS in your opinion? In my opinion, there is no such thing as "backward" or "forward" movement but a CHANGE rather.
I am happy you said your opinion.
Great interview
I agree with him
DJ enjoyment is everywhere.
The is chilling ❤
It’s because he lived most of his life in the states. Just imagine what $3000 per month as Social Security retirement income will do in Ghana compared to the states.
I don’t like how this man speaks of Ghana, where he was born!
U wouldn’t like it bcos u like nonsense. Ghana is a shit hole. Too many stupid behaviors
So he travelled the year 1973, I was born in the same year June and he travelled to America 🇺🇸. I have one man in Canada 🇨🇦 who also travelled the same year like him. I respect ✊🏾 him a lot and he has a good life and enjoys it. His ideas are very good and interesting 😊😅🎉🎉❤❤❤
I came a few years be4 him. I have no regrets. Life is good. I can’t complain. I am just waiting 4 my number to be called. 😂😂😂
@@kwasi47 Long Life 🙏🏾🙌🏾✌🏾✊🏾
government needs to buy the land from the chieves and develops it will stops all land problems, bad roads and creates employment,6800 square feet is huge
The average Indiana home values is & 236.990 .Home prices in indiana are much lower than the national median, making it easier to buy single- family homes at an affordable price.
Mr. Isaac is 💯 percent right...I feel his pain about Ghana 🇬🇭
As a Ghanaian female, everything this guest is saying about living in the U.S. is the truth. About loneliness, it is a state of mind. Also to have a fantastic life, a person has to create that for themselves. Great interview.
I feel you. Happiness is everywhere. Ghanafo abroad don't like to mingle
DJ, I love your man
People don't know this expecially ghanaians when you travel to abroad try and find woman to stay with even if you don't have documents because of your woman they can consider you is big advantage for you white people respect women alot
There are a sizeable number of GHANAIANS living in Indiana. I live in Tipppecanoe County.
Making Ghana comfortable for everyone too be problem 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
damn the kids never came to Ghana, 51 years paaa. this man is a bit brain wash. i guess he only came for funerals. he doesn't love Ghana. stop saying u do.
And what do you gain loving ghana?
@@kobbyfabz4025😂😂😂😂🤷♀️
Fully brainwashed not a bit 😂 50 years in someone’s country. No waaaay
Travel and see and you will understand him
That's him. What's your problem Ghana man?
I really like this man
Papa Samo is gaslighting, he wished he was retired in Ghana. Is a personal choice to leave every where you like so i don't like when people look down on people who decided to retire in Ghana.
part 2 please please real talk
Happiness is you, those that say is boring just don't go out just after the money, work and home
Wanted to double like.
He talking facts!
The man is telling the truth
I AGREE WITH HIM ON THE ROADS SUGGESTION
Ghana hasn’t developed and worse is crime and security issues! Health sector and basic services are not adequate. I agree with him in a way!
Worse in crime.Like seriously,what of America?
@@ritipee3593 Oh yes, just that most of it are done in a way that you don’t recognize starting from the airport to main land bribery and extortion. You only thinking of crimes like murder but even that Ghanaians use poisonings as weapons and armed robbery. No investigating procedures to solve anything. Hospitals killings not documented. There’s no system in place to protect against these types of crimes!
@@ritipee3593 If Ghana is safe why do you build your homes like prisons?? Tall security walls, windows even on the third floors have iron bars, really! Call this place safe? Recently late Professor Adu-Boahen’s son got murmured in his house sleeping! Let wait for the investigation?
@@ritipee3593 America is by far safer than Ghana 💯logically speaking if you consider how the security system works. Comparatively Ghana is slightly smaller than the state of Oregon in the United States go figure out!
HMMMM...WORSE IN CRIME IN GHANA?... EEEEIIII BREDA COME BACK AGAIN WAI
I just love this man decision.
Dj there nothing called slow pass, roads are blocked repaired,and patched just like everywhere we lack planning iand maintenance culture in Ghanaian.
I love this guy
Nothing will bring this man to the country. Don’t worry yourself. DJ
This man is speaking like someone who has no property in Ghana. Those of us who have invested in Ghana like the country paaa, and will never stay in America forever. I will retire and go to Ghana with my entire family. Ghana is simply sweet.
Yes oooo I love ghana so much
Enough respect. A true king has spoken.
DJ, it's not everyone who wants to go back to Ghana again. I for instance, I have no plan to live in Ghana again. My kids will grow here, I want them to have me as a resource when they need me.
Abroad will be boring for you if you want. I travel for sightseeing a lot. My job takes me to other states as well... I also enjoy being indoors when I want. It's not boring for me at all,
You create your own happiness in Abroad. Life is how u make it. If your mind, is am making money to send to Ghana. Fix where you reside first.
Very lucky guy in doing kindness
This man is a joke. In 1973 none of my school mates parents own a car. My parents has to put their only TV in the neighborhood outside for people to come and watch. The middle Class in Ghana has grown tremendously. Life has really improved for him to say 1973 is better than now. When you failed to plan your life well after staying all these years abroad, then you begin to hate Ghana 🇬🇭.
You have deciphered the riddle, my friend!!
That his experience, is just what makes you happy, after you lives here for years , you don't have time for some of he cracks life in Ghana
Enough respect....
Properties in Ghana must be treated as real estate.If i am not there,my children can sell and make money.My properties are not for any family members
I agree with him in terms of development in Ghana, but what has he done to help to develop Ghana with his 51 years experience in the USA ???
Having lived in the United States since December 30th 2002, in the Deep South and the MidWest, I absolutely agree with most of what he is saying. DRAINAGE SYSTEMS ARE TERRIBLE IN GH. YOU WILL HARDLY SEE AN OPEN DRAINAGE SYSTEM IN THE US. BANKING IS TERRIBLE IN GHANA, THE LEST SAID THE BETTER.
It was always like that when you left Ghana. Don’t expect it to change overnight. America and the west went through periods just like Ghana. You prefer to be a second class citizen in the Deep South forever ??
He is right about the land ownership. The state should own all the lands.
Personally I won’t trade Ghana for anything on earth..Ghana is the real paradise on earth..to each on their own..am in the USA and I go back to Ghana every 6months..I have a couple of business in Ghana and won’t trade Ghana for anything..We as Ghanaians have obligations to build Ghana for the next generation..The funny thing is that, as soon as those who speak bad about Ghana in the diaspora dies, they want to be sent to Ghana for burial..Putin once said Africa has become cemetery for Africans in the diaspora..Together let’s build our motherland Ghana for good..God bless our homeland Ghana and make it great..We travel to go and look for money and knowledge to build our homeland..
God bless you.I'm on my way to the Motherland.Those that has been Chosen to go back will go.You have a positive mindset and I love it.
@@ritipee3593 amen God bless u too..Yes Ghana is our motherland and we need to work hard to make it better..
@@Yesumo1932 Ohh yes and I'm ready.I came here to work,search and go back home.My great grandmother said it to me before she passed.I was very young at that time but she told me I will travel but I will come home and do what I came here to do.Everything is manifesting.Too grateful to the Most High🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@ritipee3593 wow this is powerful..are u in the USA? Can we link up? Am in the USA..May be we can be friends
@@Yesumo1932 I'm here in Switzerland.
If you don't contribute in solving Ghana's problem then don't complain.
Senior most Senior
Each to His own . All the hands are not equal. We all have different socialisations etc . This is opinion . Either take it or leave it. Be guided by your own light and not someone’s light or you will get lost. And please stop saying minimising his experience. That is gaslighting
Seniormost, SENIOR DONATELO!
Waoo...memories..i remember Omega shop and Dans bar where delicious ice-cream and milk shakes were sold. Anyway i admire Papa. Not everyone who travels like to come back to settle in Ghana nor want to have a property in ghana. Why build a mansion in Ghana and use it once in every 5yrs? There is nothing wrong with him waiting to settle there for ever.
Bring this man again
I love this gentleman interview, All Assosa(Apamite) students are courageous.
I don’t agree with what he is saying. Not going back to Ghana is personal choice. But he said my house is wealth 1 million, I can promise you he still paying mortgage therefore that house don’t belong to him. But we are programmed to think so.
Not everyone is is still paying mortgage,my uncle and his wife paid their mortgage in 15years instead of 30 so everyone is different.The uncertainties in Ghana is too much too risky even for healthcare
Is true that you will pay mortgage but there is time for you to finish paying so do your research well before you talk.
When you buy a house and paying mortgage is like paying a rent and there is time for you to finish paying your mortgage
And remember after paying mortgage there are taxes that you have to pay every year. My former boss was paying $39000 every year as taxes
@@leosismenz347 property tax applies in Ghana as well , several factors add up to paying taxes depends on neighborhood,cost of house etc.. at what ever age you want to come to Ghana if you’ve finished paying your home in US you can sell it. And buy a house or apartment in Ghana.Ghana will always be our home but the uncertainty in Africa is disturbing.
we pay it everywhere in this world, even Ghana we paid it so let us think ok
When we are looking for riches and better jobs you cant find it in Africa but it easy to get a good job in abroad so keep quite and stop disturbing us of living in Ghana.
We complain too much but no white Americans or Europeans are crying to travel to Africa @leosismenz347
Dj please bring him back
The uncovered gutter part dey worry am waa 😂😂😂
That side day blow wanna mind lah.We see the gutters as WC.They need no closure😂
Hard guy
