Don't forget our people in Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela, and other Africans who were taken to South Americas.
I myself always mention them. Please, please my people, stop falling for the Africans Americans!
You meant to say "and other Africans who were sold and taken to South Americas?
@@michellemobakeng5938 What does this comment mean? Stop falling for the "Africans Americans"?
@@NOTURPLUGBRO It just means there are Africans Americans and all the others in the African diaspora that must not be forgotten or be less considered. In the same way that the USA are not the centre of the world. There are other countries that make the world go round too.

Namibia it's great country too
I was in Namibia last year for a conference. My team and I also toured a few places such as the dunes in walvis bay. I love Namibia and I can't stop telling my folks here in Ghana about it.
WODE Maya, I see you owning your own Africans travel TV channel and travel Agency. Step out and do it . You and Miss Trudy would be a Power Team!

We need to add Industrialization. Building of factories.
True... Massive one
Check 1d1f, you can also do yours if you have an idea.
Factories will pollute the environment. The air looks crystal clear and, I'm sure, the rivers are not polluted. Keep it that way.
sylvester cayetano How long will African economies remain buying and selling of finished products from foreign lands? Till we able to produce what we need locally, the chain of oppression will still remain around our necks and we won’t be able to breathe freely. Think about it.
@@pic376 we can create industry that recycles waste products. Technology can assist us with not polluting.
Might relocate to Ghana from Zimbabwe ... good thing Zimbabweans get along really well with Ghanaians ... a stable economy is everything ...forget everything else

Stay in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 and build it. We stay where we are and build our countries and yes we can. Did you hear 👂 the message?
As an Afrikan American, this story is very inspiring!
Very inspiring indeed!
I love seeing people succeed and sharing their stories, on platforms like TH-cam
I can’t believe how much this man has achieved is such a racist country like the USA 🤔Top earner he said lol all jokes aside this guy is inspirational
Now i see smart buildings in Africa, so now i want to see intelligence building in Africa. WODE MAYA BIG UP.
Super powerful statement. Africa is not the future, Africa is Now! Wow mind blown.
I feel like I might break down tears when I touch down anyway in Africa
you are and you are gonna get mad too,from been lied to for a long time
Dont cry,because they lied to us,now we are out of darkness,wellcome to your own Africa continent🙏
Don't cry dear the shackles of chains from the oppressors have been broken!! we are now FREE come back home with your skills, knowledge, talents and expertise where you belong, our beautiful Motherland Africa is waiting for you!! 😊😊😊

That’s a beautiful house....oh mine I would love to visit that house for a few seconds...very impressive
I like those beautiful smart homes unique designs.
Congratulations on making it to 500k subscribers, Africa is blessed to have you. From Namibia
Very humble business man. Wode Maya is pouring fire in our heart for a change
It's great to see Americans go back home to Ghana and Nigeria
Lots of love from SA
Any time I hear people complaining about Africa lack this and that the only thing that come to my mind is lack of vision. If Africa has everything like the so call develop world why should anybody come to seek for opportunity there will be fewer opportunities left for anybody to explore. This is the best time to be alive as Africans , don't listen to the nay Sayers , they will always have something to say about nothing , even in darkness you can see light if you know where to look.
Wise talk bro
I'm definitely moving to Ghana
hurry and come cause Ghana welcomes you
Wode Maya need a special office , Africa is Now bro!
Congratulations on 500k! Cheers from Uruguay, love your content
During and straight out of slavery African Americans invented many many products for convenience and functionality which today people would not do without in and around our homes.... We once again need to find our genius in creativity and innovations and build up Africa!!
You are absolutely right. I think African American's are conditioned to believe that they have contributed absolutely nothing to the world. I'm a folk punk rock musician. And people would ask me, why do you play rock n roll and why folk music? I'll tell them that, black people invented rock n roll and that blacks in the rural South helped create country music. And the Banjos you see those white country artist playing arose as a folk instrument powering the dances of New World Africans. And that the Banjo was created by enslaved Africans, not some white person.
And the very music I play which is "folk rock" isn't something that was created by white artist like Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel or Paul Simon it originated from Black folk musicians who created the soundtrack for a movement-and helped Bob Dylan find his sound.
We coming
I've always emphasized the need for Africans to stop being Consumers, and start producing.
I hope with my channel, I could inspire people to make a fortune from their passion ⚡
I agree boo I was just telling my spouse that I dont wanna die in America I wanna go back home my dads from Jamaica so it's either or for me

Why are we seeing this white people representing south African huh? South African is black and it will stay that way. Love from Ethiopia
@@tigrayfirst2261 they're multiracial nationals
@@eghosa2705 no they are not. The white man still controls 96% of the land and they are only 4 million. They must give the land back and exit.

Good vibes
A modern King - wow
I was born and raised in the Caribbean, but can't wait to go back to my Ancestor's Land.
You are welcome my dear
You’re welcome to Ghana
@@eafc_careers Thank you!
I'm ready to come home and build for my children's children
😍😍
My son was inspired by this video and want to move to Accra where he has family and start a company.
Mr. Nii Oku, I truly appreciate your intelligence and your brave move!
I wasn’t born in Africa but I want to come home 😭
Brandon Thomas come, you'll feel welcomed
Aaron Afrifa I’m making plans to visit Ghana.
I met a guy from Ghana at a business my company has a contract from. He started talking to me about Africa and ask if I ever visited I said no and his reply was “ you need to go him “ I got chills when he said that. So I’m planning to visit with him in 2021.
Are you from Ghana?
WOW!! those smart houses look *amazing* 💛 He and his team did an a *great* job on it. I really hope they make *more* smart house all over Ghana not just in Accra. Much respect to this guy 🧡
500! You made it Maya. Congratulations!!,
Wonderful interview. I worked on Wall St. in my early days, but relocated to Georgia in my early 20's to focus on my personal growth. This brother is definitely bringing innovation to real estate development in Ghana.
Beautiful house..by the way 500k here we're
I love you for one thing. Using your platform for meaningful and educative interviews unlike what we see around in the media today. Keep up man! you will go far.
My little brother is an architect out here in the US.He works for a small firm I would love to see him do some projects in Ghana with This (great man) investor you interviewed Maya. 👁
Wode Maya...you’ve always put more wood (inspiration) to my fire.been in the u.s for 10 yrs and my only conclusion is that Home (🇰🇪) Will Always be The Best!
Here before 500k subscribers
Little by little we shall get there
I'm African-America and your channel is the only one I want to Watch !!!
I love listening to this young man.
I think this pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple streams of income unfortunately having a job doesn't mean security. So l really appreciate your transparency and giving people a Fighting chance during these troubling times
you're right on that, buddy
I’m in the diaspora and can’t wait to go home. I’m fired 🔥 up right now. Wode will be interviewing me soon
🏃🏿♂️🏃🏿♂️🏃🏿♂️🏃🏿♂️🏃🏿♂️ hurry up
@@cantech8125 haha :P
I love being part of the family by watching you truly give me hope! My father is from 🇹🇬 and I’ve been stuck within America 52 years and not knowing my family from there has given me a empty space for years! So if you ever go to Togo I pray you can find my family and let them know I always had lost love for my people DZAH! Martin Dzah was my father
This is how it's supposed to be. Come, come with expertise, come with talent, come with substance. Africa needs you, more than you need it. Until Africa matters, black lives won't matter. If Africa is developed, no one would dare say 'go back to the place you are from' because the place you are from is paradise.
True
Let us be real here: Black lives do matter and always have. The issue is insecurity and wickedness of others that lead to the physical and mental brutality we face. We cannot afford to think that if we are wealthy ppl will treat us better. In fact, it may be worse due to resentment. Many of us have a lot of formal education, but racism makes career building hard.
Despite this, I am determined to be vigilant and hopefully set up my own enterprise in Ghana.
@@phylliskumi4355 The Chinese use to be bullied, now they are the bullies, even the middle east countries are beginning to raise their heads up. Africa needs to be viable, we need to support on another, all the natural resources and raw materials are in Africa. The way the world is heading, soon, the remaining fertile and arable land would be in Africa, because other parts of the world are busy killing theirs with fertilizers. The earlier we acknowledge this the better, because, if we don't, when the time comes, there will be a second coming of colonialism
@@nnonyelusomtochukwu8509 I hear you. We need just need to maintain confidence. Move forward by recognizing our worth and protecting our lands.
Omg I'm very impressed!!! Smart 🏡 Homes!!!!!💞🌞🔆🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Aya maya, keep it up bro. You are inspiring the whole world
i could easily write paragraphs on everything the brother stated in the first 5 minutes of this video.This great brother has a "winners mentality" and what i call a radical mindset,which is exactly why he has propsered the way he has.On top of all that,he's a pan africanist.His intelligence could have been used to accelerate/greatly increase the wealth of an oyibo man or an oyibo company,but he took his radical mindset/radical innovation back to his home country.Massive props to him
When are you going to interview Nana Kwame Bediako the CEO of Wonda World Estates?
Vanessa Kanbi already did interview Bediako.
Good that WM interviewed Neil Oku , a less unknown , but also great real estate developer
Wonde maya you on 500k wow i remember when you on 18k🤦🏽♂️😂 keep going my bruda that’s what we wanna see

There are thousands of such projects currently going on in Ghana
This financial mogul has really challenged me. I have been looking for distinctive ideas to change the face of real estate in Kenya and this might just do it. Excellent idea! Thanks for the exposure and thanks for all that you for our continent Wode!
I let your videos play while I'm asleep or playing games so the youtube algorithm posts your vids over others
What can I say?
Just wow!!!
❤❤❤
That last question and Oku’s answer was 🔥. The mindsets must change! We must believe that we are powerful than we can ever imagine. It’s all about our UNITY and respect for one another through our actions. The thought of this possibility fills my soul.🥰Africa for Africans. Make Africa home again.
Thanks for the inspiration and motivations bought couple of lands in Ghana hopefully I will start building soon
Oh my Wode! You never cease to amaze me! I feel so inspired every time I watch these videos. It's awesome how much people are doing in Africa especially Ghana. God bless you oo. This is so good to see. 👏👏👏👏👏😘😘😘😘😘
