- Jamaican woman moved to Ghana from UK to build an amazing villa
Often a times when you speak to native Ghanaians born and raised in Ghana who's migrated to the west about moving to back Ghana, they make is seem there is no hope of succeeding back home. But through my journey of discovery, I've come across several Africans born abroad who's found their way back home and thriving;
In this video I speak to a wonderful Jamaican woman who left UK to Ghana over 20 years ago to build Villa Sankofa; a tranquil and relaxed atmosphere for travelers. You will be inspired...My Name is Mickey....Keep watching!!!
Every country has a story; so does its people. I get to travel and visit different parts of the world due to the nature of my work, so I take viewers with me in the form of vlogs to explore and tell beautiful stories of the people and the places that I am working.
I am dedicated to provide deep, meaningful and entertaining contents for you, my viewers....

Another Jamaican royal, this one, a great woman who is impressive and inspiring. Thanks for showing what we can achieve with hard work and vision. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Ghana, please treat her well for her good works!
@ghanaian
Thank you for the great comment. I believe Ghanaians should show kindness and to protect all our people returning home to reclaim their heritage which was forcibly taken from them. Our government must also create a clear and easy path to citizenship for them . Just look at her contribution to the economy?
Trans Atlantic slave trade was arguably the most heinous crime committed against a race 👏🏾🙏🏽
We don’t discriminate in Ghana
Strong Jamaican woman African to the
Bone 🇯🇲
Correct 🫡
Mother Marva has done well for herself regardless of her obstacles. One love.💗
If you are from the Caribbean it’s easier to fit in Ghana 🇬🇭
Maybe because of her age. I think so.
When I think about my Jamaican ancestors I can see there spirits rejoicing to see a Jamaican return to Africa 😢😢😢❤
Really!
I am watching you from USA and I am a Ghanaian. You have impressed me and I am proud of you. I just bought a land to build a house and move to Ghana. Remember don't feel like a Jamaican ,feel like Ghanaian because truly, Ghana is yours, you are really Ghanaian and the land belongs to you
God bless you for your kind words. May God guide your path 🙏🏾
Wow !!So Jamaicans of African ancestry should denounce Jamaica for the 'Back to Africa fad?
@@user-dx5mg9by9yshut it knob
@@user-dx5mg9by9yMany Jamaicans in their mind are Africans or Ghanaians living in Jamaica , some will visit Ghana then being Nationalist will return to Jamaica since the similarities are so great.
@@mavisburke495 Because they are living for their ancestors and not themselves.The black man's existence precedes slavery by 10thousand years ,yet we make our whole existence around one unfortunate experience."A butter fly can't go back to being a caterpillar".
I can see Jamaicans are finding it easier then others from the diaspora to assimilate into Ghana and build
Yes we are, because Ghana is no different from Jamaica, for me I will not find it difficult to live In Ghana, most of the issues others have like roads, lights cutting out etc, it's no different from Jamaica, expecially Jamaica country side
I guess Jamaica life styles fits inn when they comes ghana and also very low profile before investing
Because most Jamaicans can trace their ancestry back to Ghana. It is basically the same people.
@@jamrock2979 true 💯
To succeed in Ghana you will have to be OK with feeling uncomfortable sometimes and it seems Jamaicans are good at that.
I’m a Jamaican living in the UK for 64 years
According to my DNA I’m of Ghanaian descent
I would love to visit the land of my ancestors
Now that I’ve seen your video
I’ll be planning on doing so in the very near future and would love to stay with you Marva
You’re so inspiring and would love to meet you
👍🏽😊❤️
Please call the number on the screen when you are ready.
❤God blessed you all for coming back home.❤.
I'm watching from the UK. Thank you for inspiring me 🙏🏼 . You are truly a Ghanaian and a Jamaican ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for Ms. Marva’s story. She is a powerful woman full of wisdom.
🌻🇭🇹🙏🏾❤️
As a Jamaica I hope many of us learn from the great lady we dont have to stay places we've they hate us, just return with a open mind and love each other.
True.
I can relate so we'll. I came back to Nigeria after 30 years. And you did a fantastic job with the interview 💯
Thank you 🙏🏾
Our phenomenal women making a difference all ver the world 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲♥️
Another great interview! This woman planned her future ahead of time, so it was easy for her to execute it when she got to Ghana. From she got to the UK, she was planning her escape.. She saved and managed her money well! Sorry to hear about the lost of her children. Marva, God bless you❤👠!
It was during my editing that I realised I needed to go into how she managed to build so much. May God bless you too.
salute mama
Wonderful speech, my cousin. Lots of blessings. Pauline
Welcome home to Ghana Akwaaba eat and enjoy your time
Hey Sista make Ghana great again 😊
Pure sincerity and wisdom. One Love!
She is an awesome woman. Wow.
I'm from Jamaica. the first words out of her mouth and I loved her
Wonderful woman! I will be keeping in touch!
NO DOUBT MOST OF OUR ANCESTORS WERE SENT TO JAMAICA AND THE CARIBBEAN .THE SPIRIT AND THE TRADITION STILL LINGERS IN THEM. WELL COME HOME MADAM..YOUR ANCESESTERS BROUGHT YOU BACK HOME. WELL DONE FOR YOUR GOOD INVESTMENTS ❤❤❤
Greetings. YOUR achievement is Most COMMENDABLE.
Blessings, 💚💯🌠
Thanks Miss Marva a woman on a mission beautiful view.Thanks for sharing Jamaican say One Love you.
I love her ... what a great energy and spirit
Lovely
🔥 ❤ 🔥
As a jamaican, what i would like to see is more Africans displaying the same affection to neighboring tribes and countries as they do for us in the diaspora. Until then, its meaning less. You cant honestly love us who are all the way across the world, if you dont love your brother tribe next-door to you.
For where I'm standing, Ghanaians extend love to everyone. We even have settlements for travelers from other countries called Zongo.
AS A JAMAICAN I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MY PEOPLE WAKE THE HECK UP AND GET BACK TO REALITY.
WHY EVER SINCE THE BLACK PANTHER ,'AFROBEATS , JAMAICANS AND WESTERN BLKS ARE MADE TO FEEL LIKE WE OWE SOMETHING TO AFRICA???!WHAT ABOUT EVOLVING,?
WHERE DID STRONG PSYCHOLOGICAL OBLIGATION TO HELP AFRICA CAME FROM.?
WHAT ABOUT JAMAICA.???????
Who misinformed you that Africans hate themselves? Have you heard of any wars between African nations?
❤❤❤@@MickeyAgyei
So very true, Africans in Africa need to unite. Be an example to the descendants of the mother land, Africa unite.
Love how u keep focus n follow your dream 1 love 1 Africa
That's for one reason I wouldn't migrate to another country, I'm in Switzerland now.. I already bought my house in Jamaica 🇯🇲 and in Jamaica I shall retire
My mum's is Jamaican, and she lives in the UK but she is thinking of going home back to jamaica 🇯🇲
May God guide her decision
by herself? Jamaica not safe for women
Am a Ghanaian watching you from London so happy for you
Nice inspiring interview. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Congratulations on your beautiful achievement, Mrs Marva. I love the complex and how you decorated the place. Your timing to make your move was right. I hope to come on a visit to Africa one day soon.
You are always welcome.
Congratulations on your accomplishments 🎉 Beautiful and inspiring platform❤ I am Jamaica and has been living in the US for 41 yrs. This is truly inspiring. Thank you both.
This is beautiful and well come home our dear sister. Ghana is the land of your root so be and live with blood brothers and sisters
Thanks for your kind words.
Very proud of you.congratulations and wish you many more to come.
I wish i can do the same.
Warmest Greetings Africa.
Queen, Your personality - pleasant, humble, grateful -the whole 9 yards, means that I will visit 🇬🇭 next year and stay at your villas.I appreciate you sharing your life with us. 👍🏽 to the interviewer.
From 🇧🇧 with ❤.
Thank you
Jamaicans 🇯🇲 understand Ghana because the land and culture is in the dna 🧬 of Jamaicans eg food, the land customs etc
This is impressive !!!Welcome home Madam Fremah
Thank you 🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Big up Mama Marva👊🏽👊🏽🙏🏼
You built your own empire in Ghana!
Sister Mava (AFIA)
You are indeed a West African by DNA. YOU ARE HOME. We Jamaican are special people who know how to adjust in the Motherland. I hope you find a support group of Caribbean people. If not just start one in your community. Peace and blessings.
This is how Jamaicans make roads when they have some cash flowing even in J.A. They don't wait for the government if they have the funds. ❤
The history of Jamaicans and their struggles, are different from those in Ghana. We in the Caribbean know where we are from as a continent but lack so much detailing which our ancesters couldn't share bevause they were all so separated. ❤❤
True. Some Ghanaians also contribute to build their roads. But that is very impressive of her.
Great woman. Love her English accent .
Agreed
I always said I would live over there
Quite impressive. Well done madam and welcome home
Sister is very strong and beautiful i know deep down she miss jamwan i think she did ghana because he husband is local born ghana citizen so she felt compel to break grounds in the mother land so me being jamaican watching from ontario canada now natraulize canadian us jamaican luv to move around the planet so more power to sister i really luv her vibe plus sister is cute too .one luv sister stay healthy too
PROUD OF YOU MY SISTER❤❤❤
Great, amazing,intelligent and beautiful Woman. I am Italian and American as well, and I love Ghana. I would love to build a very nice and loving orphanage in Ghana. Someone left me a piece of land there to be used for the children, but the Generous Queen Mother passed away and i never found out where the land was. RIP beautiful 👑 Mother.❤
Very sorry to hear. You should have gone to Ghana to make the land ownership official.
'' Your A Queen Without Doubt; Queen Marva'.
God Bless her heart and I wish her long Life 🙏🏾🇯🇲🇬🇭
Well history shows that our decendant is from Ghana
One love one heart lets get together and frel alright❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I understand how she feels about been on the mother land. I went to Kenya and I'm hoping to be able to go back to live. I felt so at home, I saw resemblances in people I know from home. I'm also from the Caribbean and has always identified as as African. I love the mother land.
May God guide you
Jamaica 🇯🇲 ❤Ghana
✊🏾✊🏾🙏🏾
Hi am a Jamaican. Hi am planning to come to Ghana sometime that is where my people come from.
May God guide your path.
Marva Girl, you are really a true Jamaican. You made me want to come there in an instance,...Do I need a visa,what are the procedures to visit? Thanks for sharing my youth.😂❤😊
I don't think Jamaicans need visa to visit. Just book and visit Marva's www.villasankofa.com and book accommodation.
Proud of you my cousin
❤
She's your cousin?
Watched from England
What an amazing lady, a real woman of substance!! Research minded too. With the new kumasi international airport soon to be operating, business will be booming!!🤞🏾🤞🏾 Glad you chose the garden city, Accra is choked!! And the heat is unbearable too. Some of us are regretting ever having our homes there. Hey ho!! Now I know Villa Sankofa, as one of the beautiful, peaceful, reassuring havens that I can always bk whenever I'm visiting Ghana and I want my peace & quiet. Such an imposing, beautiful building!! Palatial ❤❤. Thanks Mickey, for another inspiring video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Well said. You can always build a small apartment in Kumasi. We have land for you 😊 Thanks very much for your support.
Good podcast. Great woman. Good luck with your endeavour. Host questions also very good and direct. Keep it up
Thanks very much for the feedback 🙏🏾
She's accomplished what some of us are still dreaming.....
I love your ambition!
This is an amazing story and an inspiration to us all. Well done Mr interviewer, when one of your questions led her to a dark place ( the loss of some of her children), you immediately threw in a question to bring her back to a good place. She immediately brightened up and was smiling again. Well done that is a very good interview technique, very few interviewers have that👍
Hmm thank you 🙏🏾
I agree, I noticed that and I was impressed, you're a good interviewer
We Jamaicans are. africans❤❤❤❤❤
Mickey! Thanks for doing more videos about Kumasi! Yeah!
You are welcome. And thanks for your support.
I will surely live there
Such an enlightening video, learnt alot. I wish her every success as it is truly deserved. BLESSINGS ❤xx
Keep the good works. I hope my fellow Ghanaians will see how to make it in Ghana and take advantage of the opportunities here.
Exceptional work and living development. Divine spirit felt provision. Thanks & Bless It Be
Amazing story !

Thank you
Good for her and continue blessingssss 🌍🌎❤😇🙏
WoooW
Thanks for your great vision and business acumen and welcome home, Madam
It's amazing how the diaspora of formaly enslaved are hungering for a place to call home. I have listened to many, felt their need for acceptance as they tried to connect to their ancestorual home. African tribal leaders in colonial time were also guilty of working with the European to raid villages and sell their brothers and sisters. We are asking the colonizers for reparations but what about those Chiefs who were also guilty. Should they not make amend also? Did Ghana year of return comes with free land or easy citizenship? Some African country offer free visa and granted many cannot offer the amount of money that European country can give, but they have land!. What can a visa do for a family that is seeking a home away from the oppression of racism and violence we see rising in many of the Carribbean abd the west? Most every communities build by runawy or enslaved people have vanished. Many structure of towns that they tried to build was distroyed and deliberatelydivided by infrastructures. Eg Rosewood, Blackwall street, etc. Right now the Maroons in Jamacia are trying hard to keep their land, (diasporians know your history, i dont care what language you speak!). Most diaporians are displaced, disfranchise, downtrodden and dismayed unable to find that solid root where the future generations from our loins will be able to established a thriving and prosperous community where we share a commonality. Even when diasporians made their homes in the land of their ancestors, they still feel disconnected from that cultural root, opening a void that is hard to close. Blessings to Wode Maya and many other ytubers who are trying to connect us to the motherland and across the world. Born in Jamaica without understanding the evil of slavery, there was/is a disconnect felt in our souls We tried to ignore it but it kept knawing at our inside, eating away at us causing a missery in the depths of our hearts. We are not 100% Africans but a turmulous mixture of various ethnicity, the culprit that makes it hard to bride that gap that can bring a wholeness to our souls. The solution? .....May sound farfetched but then consider if it is feasible. Am a writer with a macroscopic view of the world. With that been said. We disporians should form a strong and true organization, combined our efforts, and petition for land in Africa of huge proportion, ( it is the second largest continent and its has the area and more to spare), mainly from where most blacks were taken. This broods of 😅diadporaians should create a 55 country called 'Afridiasporian' for themselves. Look at it as a kind of 'Liberia/ Israel' without the drama. These two countries are resettled by former displaced children; God bless them!🙏Than we need not feel displaced, we will be connected to the motherland and also to each other due to our shared histiry. The past is gone, we will not get it back but we must learn from it and thus create a strong future for our future generations. 😢 Agree? Visionary diaporians give this some thumbs up! A people perished for lack of vision. Habakkuk says write the vision.....! Blessings.
I would love to visit. I need information on how to reach Mrs Marva
So proud of her
Great story.
Connect her to wode Maya also to interview her, because she's doing very good job for the motherland. Thank you so much for sharing 🌍🇬🇭🌍🤜🏿🤛🏿
OK I will do.

Nice one mummy
Oh wow! Ms. Marva hit home so well when she said she only wanted to just live in the UK for 5 years and go back to her beautiful country. That was me when I left Ghana at 12 to be with my father who I didn't know at the time. Omg...almost 30 years and I'm still in Canada, miserable as hell. You have to help me get out of here Mickey. 😢 I hate it here. So lonely
