I’m from America. I visit different parts of Africa four times. Each time I came back to the US I cried because I wanted to stay in Africa always. I too seen the videos they put out there talking against Africa, but I don’t pay them no mind. I know where I want to be and it’s in Africa on the mother land. One love for those who want it. ❤❤❤
They have every right to tell their real experience in Ghana. Doing so, will give all sides of what to possibly expect so others can make an informed decision about what's right for them.
I am disappointed with the accusations of the young lady sleeping around. Ekow, that's taking the low road. You are repeating gossip, and acting out of emotion. I never thought you would say something like that. I thought you were a thought leader mentoring young minds. Are these people you speak of using it as an "experiment" or did they romanticize a fantasy of love, safety and peace that didn't exist? You know and love it there, because you are accustomed to it. People outside of the country use their videos for research. They want to know the good and bad, and to be informed of these things helps considerably when planning a vacation or relocation. Many really didn't know what it was like prior to YT. Like the lady said, she visited based off what she was told by someone that lived there, but if she had access to the videos you mentioned, she probably would not have moved there to begin with. I hope your anger is not fueled by the old lady she stayed with. That same woman got land that was earmarked for african diaspora under the pretense of being that. She recently admitted she is not, yet she has been bestowed a Queendom on african soil. If she was not straight forward about that, what makes you think you can believe everything she says. Satan comes in many forms, old ladies included. It seemed once you and the young girl you speak of got along pretty good. She was kind to you on the videos. Can you not consider her pain as well? It's obvious and I don't know her, but she was trying to heal when she got there so we should empathize as well, and put on our critical thinking hats. What would drive her to that? Best to pray on this and put yourself in her place. She was not trying to hurt you. She said a lot of wonderful things about your country too. "The Bible encourages discernment and caution in believing what others say, especially if there’s a chance they might not be truthful. For example, Proverbs 14:15 states, "The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps." This highlights the importance of wisdom and critical thinking. Additionally, 1 John 4:1 advises believers to "test the spirits" to determine whether they are from God, implying that not everything should be accepted at face value. Overall, the Bible advocates for careful consideration and discernment in our beliefs and interactions with others." FORGIVE SO THAT YOU MIGHT BE FORGIVEN: "The Bible has a lot to say about forgiveness, emphasizing its importance in relationships and spiritual life. Here are some key points: Command to Forgive: Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:14-15 that if we forgive others their trespasses, God will also forgive us, but if we do not forgive, we won't be forgiven. Unlimited Forgiveness: In Matthew 18:21-22, Jesus tells Peter to forgive not just seven times, but "seventy-seven times," illustrating the boundless nature of forgiveness. Forgiveness as a Reflection of God's Love: Ephesians 4:32 encourages believers to be kind and compassionate, forgiving each other just as God forgave them in Christ. Forgiveness Brings Healing: In Colossians 3:13, Paul instructs to bear with each other and forgive grievances, promoting harmony and healing within the community. The Example of Jesus: On the cross, Jesus exemplified forgiveness by saying, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" (Luke 23:34). Overall, forgiveness is portrayed as essential for personal peace, relational harmony, and spiritual growth in the Bible."
Cindi is not talking bad about Ghana, just the Central Region because she was attacked, and nobody came to her aid. You are just bleeding because you are worried that it will ruin your agenda. If you are inviting people from the diaspora, make sure that they feel welcomed and protected.
Exactly that the point I am trying to make because when we come to the continent we are coming never to take or use any one but that how many view us When we come there and when you call them out on their BS then it’s when they play victim I’m sorry but I don’t every see anyone taking responsibility or accountability for anything but they expect someone not to speak up for themselves it’s selfish behavior
Everyone has a right to share their experiences good and bad...those that are offended are offended because they are content sometimes with mediocrity. Negative words don't overshadow positive actual experiences. Criticism is good cause it can help to address the stench you've become immune to.
Bro we all due respect, the world is a global village. You asked them to return back home with the year of return program. Criticisms is supposed to help you improve, but u can also look at it negatively if u wish, it’s all up to u. It’s all freedom of speech after all no need to get triggered. It’s like Ghanaians are allergic to criticism or something.
Ekow, I salute you for this video. I have noticed a trend amongst some of the Diasporas who arrive to Ghana broke as hell they don't get exactly what they're looking for and have to run back to America and they blame it on Ghana. When the Ghanaians don't bow down and wash their feet, they blame it on Ghana. These people are traumatized and they need to take a look in the mirror. I know exactly who you are speaking of without calling any names. She and I knew each other while she was in Ghana. Don't mind her, she is a shallow self absorbed person who only has allegiance to her self. Don't let her change who you are. Keep fighting for Ghana. I stand with you my brother. I'm happy in Ghana and won't ever leave. You have to come to Ghana with the right mindset, a compassionate heart and a good network of people to help you navigate the system. It ain't easy but worth your peace of mind.
I was in Ghana for 3 months with my children and the scamming is real. I was even scammed in the grocery store called ShopRite by workers. I made a food order and the guy said the mobile pay machine doesn’t currently work. He said send the money to his mobile pay and he will give it to store. I asked him, is he sure? He said, yes. I could hear him and his co workers cheering on and they were watching and laughing at their successful scam. I went back a second time and the guy was smiling, ready for a second scam but this time I told him I have cash. He said give it to him and will go pay the food order. But remember i’m not even at the cash register when he said i should pay him and he will pay for me so I said No. I went to the register and ask for the receipt and the two ladies were ready to get free money. They smiled and said, cash and i said, no credit. They weren’t smiling anymore since the card machine work. But I was smiling and never bought from the food court again. This is the first I’ve said something about it. There’s more but it’s really a learning experience. It makes me smarter. Also, im Haitian and these people didn’t understand. Im quick to detect things like this
💯😂 Some of them haven't achieved anything in The West, but they expect to be an overnight success in Africa. Some of them don't even visit in advance to do research. .
@@EkowSimpson Ghana is not ready for any stupid arrangements and selfish people and negative vibes. Ghana is moving on since PA AFRICANISM WHEN PEOPLE BLACKMAIL AFRICA. This blackmail didn't stop people moving to Africa especially Ghana the motherland. If any black American people or African Americans speak negative about motherland Ghana it will affect them spiritually because their ancestors umbilical cord is is still in Ghana and cannot easily detached from the placenta which is also located in Ghana. Ghana is strategic and standing at the centre of the world is not for nothing but it's for a spiritual reason related to creation and the universe. Period
@@JasonusTillery don't ever leave Jason, that's what the other group wants us to do! Home is home u make it the way u want it to be. Make local friends, adopt a family there, with mom and grandma and everyone there, that's the way to do it.
@@gibson2675 And so? Did all the Europeans, Indians, Chinese Americans stop being Europeans, Indians and Chinese because they have an American passport???
Ekow, my brother don't worry about those in the diaspora that speak ill about the Motherland. Pure ignorance!!! It is rude and simply disrespectful to the continental Africans as well as our ancestors. We should NEVER go to ANY country and speak negatively about that country. Go back to wherever you came from if that is the case. Africa is not for all people. Facts, however it is for me!!! Lol ... I love AFRICA and I love GHANA!!!! Peace my brother.
I quite remember some weeks ago I read a very horrible story on a blog. The writer was advising those coming to Ghana not to interact with those who sell around the castle. I was so hurt. Her reason is their artefacts are expensive and all that. I was at Elmina to shoot yesterday and I was surprised these ladies are selling their stuff for as low as 5 cedis. They are just trying to make ends meet. I've even made a video on it. Her write-up was so sad
Some of them have very uncultured behaviour. They talk and behave anyhow. We love our brothers and sisters from the diaspora but they should respect our sensibilities.
Hurt people hurt people! America is nothing to aspire to (I'm American). The ancestors will protect sweet Ghana. I'm tired and hurt by the behavior too, sis. ❤😢
This was so needed to be said to some that in the West are treated so poorly. Yet come to Africa and adopt Western attitudes of what they couldn't do in Babylonian regions..
You say western attitudes but a lot of you have that western mindset whether you want to admit or not but we know that you will never admit it and that’s the issue
Big ups Ekow,l watched her video and she complained about a lot of things in Ghana but l did not hear her say she never heard one single gunshot in Ghana.That alone is a blessing to us.
It’s not ignorance it’s us stating our opinions of our experience. I loved Ghana for almost 4 years it’s the government that i mostly dont like. I hope you enjoy Ghana as I will as well. No we don’t come there expecting ppl to be begging for us all day everywhere we go BUT I did get use to it and learned how to ignore them. #thepassporttraveler
Whoa Nah Brudda Ekow. I feel your pain and anger. I'm sick and tired of these bad mouths. Their slow mentality is from the colonial oppressors. Ghana and the rest of the African continent is remarkably beautiful. The way I see it is that we need to get back to the basics for a better natural lifestyle. Having all this material stuff does not make any of us happier or healthier in the West. Respect from New Orleans.
You have to take the good with the bad. Africans born on the continent male why I left America videos all the time. I want to hear the pros and cons of every country as no one country is perfect. TH-cam was created in a country that prides itself on free speech ad long as it isn’t hate speech. You can always respond to the videos you are referring to, that’s a big thing o TH-cam.
I agree with you 100%. Nobody is forcing them to stay and so we are not interested in knowing why they left. Ghana or Africa is not for everyone. Do not come to Africa with the intention to stay. Visit and go back to your country. Africa is not for the faint hearted. In investment it is said, the higher the risk the higher the returns. It means you can loose your investment but when you hit, you hit big. That is why the Chinese and Europeans who understand the terrain never leave Africa.
The Chinese and Europeans never leave because you treat them like kings and queens you roll out the red carpet and bow down to them as if they are gods let’s just be real but at the end of the to them we are the same believe or not one group speaks their own mind and the other group chooses to close their eyes and mouth And let be clear when we come to Africa we don’t come looking for handouts we come wanting to meet some genuine people and learn the culture and customs but let’s be honest when they hear the American accent they see $$$$ and when we come there we see family again two different perspectives and how is that ok and why can we speak about our differences and come to a conclusion instead of getting mad because we have two different cultures and opinions. Step up and be a solution and stop being so sensitive
@@dianejackson62 Amen!! Like I always say when I see my brothers and sisters come home, even if for a visit,,," what our ancestors wont give, just to have been able to find their way home so easily like this!" (Tears)!! 😭😭🙆🙆
I heard from somewhere that if you don't fix yourself where you are, you can not resolve your issue anywhere, like moving to a new place, won't necessarily resolve internal struggles or life challenges. It's about recognizing that personal problems, habits, or unresolved conflicts will follow you no matter where you go. Real change starts within, and finding peace or "paradise" is more about addressing internal issues than relying on external circumstances. It's like the idea that "wherever you go, there you are.
Self-hatred is real! I love Ghana and never felt such a sense of belonging in my over half a century on this earth. I feel sad for those of us who are so devoid of who we are as a people, if only we knew our worth in the truth of our history. We are a special breed of people who know how to rise, even when challenges dictate otherwise.
@meeletuube9106 Stop your nonsense right there.. how is it one's experience when they are insulting a whole country and its indegenes. have u watched her video? go to the comment section of that particular video of hers to witness the rudeness and insultive responses to the comments.
@mightyman6866 I agree again. I watch a lot of these videos. They are both inspiring and sad. Have you not seen all those videos with Americans bad mouthing america. I can name quite a few. I am a jamaican living in America, and from what I am seeing, many of the countries in Africa are just like jamaica. The good is how people know each other and will help each other and the bad is as a jamaican living in America they think you soooo much money. They want and want and want. The main difference is that Ghana is less violent than jamaica. I would not complain because I come from a similar environment. Many Americans will not find living in Africa easy. They don't understand the dynamics of the community. It's almost as if they need a guide. They have to try to understand and connect with the people to feel good about being there.
@mightyman6866 I guess I feel this way because I live in the West, so I understand how they think, and I am familiar with the environment in which they are complaining about. I don't think the answer is telling them to shut up. Obviously, they need some sort of help or they have to leave. I know the lady talking about.. I definitely think she went overboard, but there are many others who are managing and flourishing in your country
Actually they should be asked. They can choose not to answer, but if Ghana does not work for them, they have 53 other countries to explore. Or they can keep it up, create more toxicity and end up as others in the past have, when they get told to leave. Aliens compliance has a history in Ghana. That history can also be a deal breaker. Ghana needs to seriously review its right of abode policy, with an eye towards repeal. It is obvious that the plan was premature.
@@BonsuBigWhale Have you actually watched Ghanaian TH-camrs asking that question before? They are always expecting a favorable response. When you tell a Ghanaian the truth and you are not a Ghanaian, they get angry! They don’t mind another Ghanaian telling them that their shit stinks! They just don’t want to hear it coming from a foreigner. If you don’t want to hear the truth, STOP asking them their opinions, period! You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
I like your channel. I’m confused. I don’t understand the experiment part. I don’t believe there’s a perfect place, but there’s always room for improvement. Here in the US we complain about shit all day because we could use some improvement in this country.
I am a Jamaican and I absolutely love Ghana. Yes, there are definitely power interruptions and internet challenges. This we know. It doesn't make me love Ghana any less. If you move to a location and it doesn't work for you- simply move on. No need to make negative content.
I spent 6 week's in my home in Asebu, I had solar light, and I had a borehole for water. I had Internet the whole 6 weeks. It was the best experience living in the village and to me that was living the life, no worries of light or water going off, and able to eat real food.
I agree just move on, I have seen that person in the comment section of other TH-camrs totally disrespecting the country. It's become an obsession and a possession.
Wow so much anger. It was hard to watch. Every country has its positives and Negatives. And nobody likes hearing negative things about their country. People have their own experiences. If they speak their truth about their experience. Don't get heated. It's just their opinions. We know you love your country. Keep making your positive videos.
@Thepassporttraveler some opinions are out of hatred and nothing truth about it. If your expectations are not met, just move on but don't speak ill about the country. Nobody gives a BS about your bias opinions.
@@Thepassporttraveler oh pls, spare me the bull-crap ! Y’all come here ( largely uninvited), decide to live here for a year or two and decide, oh , this isn’t for me anymore, and instead of leaving the country in peace , u people decide to paint the country black, saying all sorts of negative nonsense about the country ( all in the name of speaking my truth ) . Truth from where ? If u don’t succeed or don’t like it, why not leave in peace and never return ?
Their truth should be balanced and should not seek to denigrate the country. Most Diaspora’s attitude sucks as they feel they are the bright shining armour who are coming to save Africa.
Look everyone has free speech, there's good and bad in every country,if someone say something about my country and it's so i don't worry just hope things get better, a lot of diasporians have said both good and bad even Africans so we shouldn't worry cause talking can't change anything if i like ghana no one can tell me otherwise,if someone doesn't like things in ur country they just have to leave, talking about Canada a lot of Africans talk bad about Canada America and England because we're all humans no matter where ur from and i can't be bias but people do have a right to their opinions and experiences
I don’t like the click bait videos showing negative aspects of Africa. But I also feel Africans shouldn’t get too defensive about changes that need to happen there. Diasporas have an unrealistic dream mindset and the ones there have a ‘what can we do?’ Mindset.
Hello Ekow, I would like to express my gratitude for your thought-provoking video. It deeply moved me, and I share your sentiments regarding the distressing videos circulating on TH-cam. I applaud your courage in using your voice to address these issues. My personal journey with Africa began in 2008, and I have been consistently drawn back to the continent ever since. Africa holds a special place in my heart, and I firmly believe that it is my destiny to be here. It is unfortunate that not everyone has the opportunity to experience the peace and self-discovery that Africa offers. Thank you once again for sharing your insights and experiences. Best regards, Skipper
@@ramseyskipper181 thanks very much Skipper. We welcome u home! Ooohh these people unfortunately haven't idea what our ancestors would give to have found their way back home, no matter what home looked like, centuries ago! Makes me tear up everytime I think about it. 😭😭😭🙋
I was born and raised in Philadelphia Pennsylvania United States. I lived in Ghana for about 2 years and Ghana is home for me. I'm now in the States again but this is not the place that I want to be. So my goal is to get back to Ghana. What I want to express is that so many Americans go to Ghana to enjoy the power of the dollar, not to explore and get to know the land and its history and cultures. They turn their nose up to the food, they turn their nose up to the roads, the living, the people and so much else. Those who go with the Western mentality will never be happy in Ghana. Maybe somewhere else in Alkebulan, but not Ghana. Ghana is a sweet land with troubles like others. But God Bless our homeland Ghana! The Black Star of Africa!!! 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
@@nadiranorjahan Yes.welcome home with both arms and all the arms of our ancestors! Come back soon. Those aimless ones are the ones that are thankfully weeding themselves out for us, making our job easy for us. Africa is not for everyone, it's about time. Plan well! 😢🙋❤️

Sir please be QUIET, no one is using Africa as an experiment people can speak on the good the bad and the ugly... but please verify your story before you speak sir. Thank you.
@@estheroppong2689 Take a wild guess who is the largest recipient of food stamps especially in the U.S. I bet you can’t guess. Your comment reveals your limited knowledge. Colonizer mentality. They say African countries are rich in resources it wouldn’t make sense for you to make it with food stamps.
Most of us work too every day pay our own bills don’t need advice from everyone in the family to make our decisions and I bet if most of you could get food stamps you would so stop the madness 😂
Let's face it. Land, which the racist west has deprived them of, is the only draw for a lot of these guys. And once your intentions for coming are that superficial, it doesn't take much to get you uncomfortable and unable to cope. There are challenges here, no doubt. And so are there challenges everywhere else, even if they may be different from place to place. Triumph is for those who persevere, not those who quit. Since Kwame Nkrumah, we have opened our doors to the global African family and we do not regret doing that at all. If you're educated enough to realise the urgent need for us to close our ranks against the long standing European dehumanisation, fair enough. On the other hand, if toxicity is what you can contribute, then shame on you. Some make it look like we can't take criticism. We can surely see between constructive criticism and toxicity. I just watched a US guy say 5 things he didn't like since moving to Morocco. The Morrocans mostly agreed with him cos he did it in a constructive manner. Trust me, if he just came on talking down on them and being disrespectful towards them, they'd have hauled him over the coals. We're all humans with dignity. Respect me or I meet you on equal pegging. Simplicita
@@brofutv1853 Yup! We are not taking their disgraceful behaviour anymore, so immature, childish and ignorant!! These are some of the reasons we get no respect from the other group!!

Why does it have to be always us, always us, hungry for attention everywhere!! Such a barking shame!! 😠
I love the comment because that’s how it feels like you can’t take criticism but I do understand it’s not what you say it how you say it and again we need decolonization needed on both sides but also sometimes when we come to the continent we want to fit in and learn and all the time we are met with smiles and greetings but they are not always genuine it’s like either you are judged based on where you are from and then exploited because they think you have money again how is that supposed fair At some point we need to be honest with each other that’s builds and strengthen us as a people 🙏🏾
After leaving America u say “I’ve been robbed, I faced discrimination, I couldn’t find a job or an apartment, I was homeless and I’ve experienced police brutality and racism;” and a American say “STOP coming to our country lying about us and EXPERIMENTING;”…..do u see how stupid that sound…the HUMANE thing to do is have compassion for that person not hate. YOUR EXPERIENCE IS YOUR EXPERIENCE NO ONE CAN DICTATE THAT….
I agree. If you like it stay, if you don't then go home. The end. But I guess some people want to give the heads up to others so they don't make the same mistake they did in planning.
@@EkowSimpson Honesty, transparency. There are problems all over the world but this ranting is not how you handle the situation. If you, got out of your feelings something good could come out of this situation. Ask Cindi for an interview. Be a bridge builder. Be a problem solver, there’s opportunity here.
@EkowSimpson I guess the current glamalsey crisis in Ghana right now is not a problem. 😧😧😧You keep showing yourself as not part of solution and in denial.
Lets see if she will be making videos about her own country and the issues she faces over there. I dont think so, there is nothing wrong with constructive and productive criticism especially if you are actually living there permanently and are contributing to society. However they only make such videos when they come to Africa on a whim, always complaining about the problems and when they leave and go back to their own country they act like there are no problems, issues or bad experiences happening in their country that they are facing. They have an underlying hatred for Africa and it was just a matter of time for it to reveal itself.
Please, don't judge them too harshly. They fled the oppression of the Western World with unrealistic expectations that Africa would be paradise. They were uneducated about the realities on the ground and therefore unprepared to enjoy the opportunities available. And it is the pain of their failure that causes them to lash-out at others. Of course, they should look inwards rather than blaming Africa. But they don't know any better. Please be patient with them.
No no patience!! It has to be stopped! Too too much! Everyone outside of Africa, thinks Africans are so soft and easy, so they can just talk about, badmouth a whole continent and get away with it! No, not anymore! The "other people" did it to us for centuries, it was our ancestors complacency that got us to this point, well we are not our ancestors, there's a new sheriff in town, we don't care if u look like us, if u can't respect yourself enough to respect us, DONT COME!!! WE DONT NEED U AND UR IGNORANCE!! Such a damn barking shame!
Well I think that goes both ways because sometimes my fellow Africans can be so judgmental about anyone who wasn’t born In Africa and sometimes just because a person has a different perspective opinion about their experience in Ghana so what America doesn’t belong to me and Africa doesn’t belong to you . And sometimes if people are saying the same things about a place it means there is some truth We need to get off our high horse Africa to me is no better than America corrupt ,scammers thieves criminals the good the bad the only difference is that America is out for the world too see and we don’t hide out flaws or sweep them under a rug because we don’t want to look bad I mean the pride is too much I like your positive videos better I thought I escaped this nonsense yet here we again.Sometimes listening to a person’s perspective is ok that’s how we learn and grow from one another this was really unnecessary In My Opinion again My Opinion much love be blessed ❤
You're absolutely right. I watched her video too, and it made me angry as well. It's frustrating how white people often come here and leave without saying anything negative, yet it's our own black brothers and sisters who spread negative comments.
And white people come there and you guys role out the red carpet worship them like they are gods and believe me they know that as well so they don’t complain when they are treated like royalty but believe me behind closed doors they speak it’s just that others are not cowards and will say it out loud while other say it behind your back I would rather trust someone who will speak directly to my face than the one who will smile in my face and hide things in their heart but again People don’t like hearing the truth
Ekow, please let it go. Don’t let a few bad nuts move you out of character. Being a full Ghanaian immigrant living in the US for 25 years and coming, I’ll reiterate that there’s no place like home. I built my house in a village Ghana, because I love and cherish the simplicity of us Ghanaians. I’ll never turn my back on GHANA 🇬🇭 my motherland. I thank GOD HE let me enter this world as an African, Gold Coast lady 😊😅 wouldn’t trade it for anything. 😊I love Ghana 🇬🇭
From a Trini living in the USA soon to retire to the Motherland, I applaud you brother!! However that’s one individual making such remarks, the diaspora in the Caribbean on a whole loves Ghana, loves Africa. Believe it or not I had to pull up a young African brother born in Africa living in the USA referring to countries in Africa as shit hole countries and saying sometimes he’s ashamed to identify as African. Sadly it’s an inferiority colonial mindset long ingrained in Africans all over the world even Africa. Thanks for taking the stand.
It's unfortunate that she as Jamaican would come out and make such videos, there are Africans that have gone to Jamaica like wode Maya, ms trudy , Tiayo, African tigeress etc and there are Africans that live in Jamaica but you have never seen any African come on the internet to disrespect Jamaica and the Jamaican people. Every country has its issues but you won't get an African coming on the internet to bad mouth Jamaica because they are living in Jamaica and have had some bad experiences so they are now going to disrespect the country. When these African TH-camrs went to Jamaica and the other Carribbean countries and spoke with Africans living there all the Africans had good things to say about the Carribbean, even though we know they would have faced issues from time to time.
EKOW! DELETE THIS VIDEO. DONT TARNISH YOURSELF BECAUSE OF OTHER PEOPLE. KEEP PUSHING TOWARDS THE PRIZE. NO NEED FOR THIS CHAMP. YOURE GIVING AN EXTENSION TO NEGATIVE. AFRICA IS FOR PEOPLE WHO DESIRE TO COME SO LET THE PROCESS WORK AND STAY ON TARGET. 💪
Cindy Marvelous She wanted Ghana to give her a red carpet presidential treatment. And since Ghanaians did not give her the “I’m coming from America so I’m better than you presidential treatment”, she went back to America complaining that Ghana is the worst country on earth.
I'm building a house and hope all my children will follow me home to Africa. I hate seeing ppl make videos where they are complaining because they didn't plan for things they knew could happen. I am planning for dumsor. I have it in my budget to get a borehole and solar. Problem solved. Ppl need to come with an open-mind and strategy if they plan to move or visit. I am A.A. and I want to return to my ancestors lands because we are a stolen people who are just realizing we can go home! America is not built for us it was just built by us with the use of whips and chains. But some ppl will want to stay in America and they should. I want to go home to Africa because I want to experience the culture that I would have had if my ancestors weren't stolen during one of the largest human trafficking periods in history!
Aaww mis Cyber queen u just made me cry, every word is so true. I've always said, this coming back to Africa thing, is not for this generation or even the next, it's for your grandchildren's benefit, way after we are gone, when they have been assimilated into the system, learned a language fluently to communicate so comfortably with their people,eat the food, live the real Africa life, the culture traditions, etc. that's when they'll see the benefit of this movement,so whoever doesn't want to be part of it, please stay home and continue to put your children in harms way,and be looked down upon, treated like u don't belong and have never belonged, and hunted down like bush animals just to unalived for fun, etc. etc. if u are seriously intended to go and see how your home looked like or felt like, to visit family, u don't go and expect anything, u should just be happy to be home, among your long lost family, instead of behaving so spoiled and completely ignorant and disgracefully. The " other group" have been deviously enjoying this continent for centuries, and no one has ever heard a peep from them, everything theyve said, is to make sure no one else comes to benefit or enjoy the piece of paradise that they had/have discovered, and the moment A.As finally got a chance and opportunity to come too, look at the messy mess, cheap behaviour, backward behaviour they are portraying!! The other group knew and know what A.As will be doing the moment they are allowed unto this continent! I'm so ashamed of my own people!! Can't take them anywhere! 15:07

Yal weird, yal can’t dictate someone’s EXPERIENCE and call it a “experiment,” who travels thousands of miles away to a struggling continent to “experiment” with their LIFE SAVINGS🙄smh….
@@goddesswarrior760 Apparently he is telling his truth remember, you all like to say you are telling your truth but have a problem when he as an African is telling his truth.
@knowledgeseeker6955 that's not even true. He has spoken sideways about Black Ascendants before and know his attitude BEFORE moving to Alkebulan. There are Afrikan family members don't agree with him, especially being happy being poor without basic amenities. He and other brothers and sisters can speak truth just do get nasty and curse people out, it suppose to be a balance.
Why is it always the Black Americans and not the Black UK, Black Canadian, Black Carribean…….? Ghanians insult Ghana. What do you say about that? Asians insult Ghana. Europeans insult Ghana.
Ekow please understand that these kind of negative comments will definitely come. Unfortunately when some people are not happy with a place, they make it appear that it's a no go area. The same way some people have also used the TH-cam to send a positive image about Ghana and has become a tourist destination, you should expect others to have a negative experience. Unfortunately nowadays it's so easy to put things out there that are not completely true but an individual opinion especially when things don't work out the way they want. Some of my friends I travelled abroad with, had returned to Ghana because they didn't like it but none had taken to TH-cam to bad mouth the country. This behaviour are mainly done by some African Americans and I see it as cultural thing as a result, there's no need to take it personal.
I always new you are a smart guy. Thank you for this video, I've always watched your video but I subscribed today because of this video. Thank you for being authentic 💛 😘
@@Dagazey now everyone is getting me so curious,,,who is this person?! Now I'm looking everywhere for her videos....I don't even know what I'm looking for.
You will never see a Chinese person make a video on social media about “Why I left Ghana” “Ghana is the worst country on earth”, after visiting Ghana. You will never see a Lebanese person make a video on social media about “Why I left Ghana” “Ghana is the worst country on earth” after visiting Ghana. You will never see an Arab person make a video on social media about “Why I left Ghana” “Ghana is the worst country on earth”, after visiting Ghana. You will never see a white European person make a video on social media about “Why I left Ghana” “Ghana is the worst country on earth”, after visiting Ghana. But you know who make a video on social media about “Why I left Ghana” “Ghana is the worst country on earth”, after visiting Ghana?
But instead, they come take all the resources and participate in neo colonialism. Stop comparing OUR experiences to that of the Chinese, Lebanese,European, Indian, etc. Thanks!
@@RamaUmin u just said it all. Sometimes we can be such a disgrace!!! Most of our people haven't even stopped long enough to look at the crowd to see that it's always us, always us that always embarrass ourselves everywhere we are. Always creating unnecessary attention. People have been going to Africa for centuries and the very first time we are allowed to leave the "plantation", look at us!" Ugh! Tears! 😢😢 U can't take us anywhere!
You have such a humble spirit and the love for your continent is fierce!🔥 I’m not sorry you had to check them because they needed to be checked! May Yahshua continue to bless you! ❤ Ephesians 6:11-12: 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
@Rhitchie1 , not at all. I am sure you are from West Africa 🌍 texting this BShit. You know the kidnapping is in the Northern part of Nigeria and it involves the former government and French company selling arms to destabilise the country. Nigerians would not support such movement because it would destroy the economy. Houses and food would be ridiculously expensive. Did you not notice that Ghana citizens( perhaps you're Ghanian) are complaining of the high prices of food and houses?
In my opinion, the year of the return is/was a positive experience. Many have found their way "back home," investing and setting up homes there with no complaints. They aren't experimenting; they are truly finding "home." Maybe other countries should have participated and made it easier to "come home" and learn the culture ... and settle.
@@deedee7916 Come to what? Do you feel the same when Asians refuse entrance into their businesses to hard working Nigerians? You didn’t see this coming? Were you too distracted from real issues in your country? Black people from the west should be your least concern.

Ever since I've been on a journey to visit my homeland, I've started receiving a lot of videos that echo your sentiments. It's appalling how some people expect to get rich quickly. Their selfishness is truly upsetting. 😡
I’m from America. I visit different parts of Africa four times. Each time I came back to the US I cried because I wanted to stay in Africa always. I too seen the videos they put out there talking against Africa, but I don’t pay them no mind. I know where I want to be and it’s in Africa on the mother land. One love for those who want it. ❤❤❤
much love and respect
They have every right to tell their real experience in Ghana. Doing so, will give all sides of what to possibly expect so others can make an informed decision about what's right for them.
okay
I am disappointed with the accusations of the young lady sleeping around. Ekow, that's taking the low road. You are repeating gossip, and acting out of emotion. I never thought you would say something like that. I thought you were a thought leader mentoring young minds. Are these people you speak of using it as an "experiment" or did they romanticize a fantasy of love, safety and peace that didn't exist? You know and love it there, because you are accustomed to it. People outside of the country use their videos for research. They want to know the good and bad, and to be informed of these things helps considerably when planning a vacation or relocation. Many really didn't know what it was like prior to YT. Like the lady said, she visited based off what she was told by someone that lived there, but if she had access to the videos you mentioned, she probably would not have moved there to begin with. I hope your anger is not fueled by the old lady she stayed with. That same woman got land that was earmarked for african diaspora under the pretense of being that. She recently admitted she is not, yet she has been bestowed a Queendom on african soil. If she was not straight forward about that, what makes you think you can believe everything she says. Satan comes in many forms, old ladies included. It seemed once you and the young girl you speak of got along pretty good. She was kind to you on the videos. Can you not consider her pain as well? It's obvious and I don't know her, but she was trying to heal when she got there so we should empathize as well, and put on our critical thinking hats. What would drive her to that? Best to pray on this and put yourself in her place. She was not trying to hurt you. She said a lot of wonderful things about your country too.
"The Bible encourages discernment and caution in believing what others say, especially if there’s a chance they might not be truthful. For example, Proverbs 14:15 states, "The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps." This highlights the importance of wisdom and critical thinking.
Additionally, 1 John 4:1 advises believers to "test the spirits" to determine whether they are from God, implying that not everything should be accepted at face value. Overall, the Bible advocates for careful consideration and discernment in our beliefs and interactions with others."
FORGIVE SO THAT YOU MIGHT BE FORGIVEN:
"The Bible has a lot to say about forgiveness, emphasizing its importance in relationships and spiritual life. Here are some key points:
Command to Forgive: Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:14-15 that if we forgive others their trespasses, God will also forgive us, but if we do not forgive, we won't be forgiven.
Unlimited Forgiveness: In Matthew 18:21-22, Jesus tells Peter to forgive not just seven times, but "seventy-seven times," illustrating the boundless nature of forgiveness.
Forgiveness as a Reflection of God's Love: Ephesians 4:32 encourages believers to be kind and compassionate, forgiving each other just as God forgave them in Christ.
Forgiveness Brings Healing: In Colossians 3:13, Paul instructs to bear with each other and forgive grievances, promoting harmony and healing within the community.
The Example of Jesus: On the cross, Jesus exemplified forgiveness by saying, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" (Luke 23:34).
Overall, forgiveness is portrayed as essential for personal peace, relational harmony, and spiritual growth in the Bible."
Cindi is not talking bad about Ghana, just the Central Region because she was attacked, and nobody came to her aid. You are just bleeding because you are worried that it will ruin your agenda. If you are inviting people from the diaspora, make sure that they feel welcomed and protected.
Exactly that the point I am trying to make because when we come to the continent we are coming never to take or use any one but that how many view us When we come there and when you call them out on their BS then it’s when they play victim I’m sorry but I don’t every see anyone taking responsibility or accountability for anything but they expect someone not to speak up for themselves it’s selfish behavior
Everyone has a right to share their experiences good and bad...those that are offended are offended because they are content sometimes with mediocrity. Negative words don't overshadow positive actual experiences. Criticism is good cause it can help to address the stench you've become immune to.
@rudygrissom5871 Exactly, totally agree

@islyrevans295 he only likes comments that agrees with him. Who really cares.
Bro we all due respect, the world is a global village. You asked them to return back home with the year of return program. Criticisms is supposed to help you improve, but u can also look at it negatively if u wish, it’s all up to u. It’s all freedom of speech after all no need to get triggered. It’s like Ghanaians are allergic to criticism or something.
Yes I totally agree it’s like if you say something bad it’s like world war lll I don’t get it
Ekow, I salute you for this video. I have noticed a trend amongst some of the Diasporas who arrive to Ghana broke as hell they don't get exactly what they're looking for and have to run back to America and they blame it on Ghana. When the Ghanaians don't bow down and wash their feet, they blame it on Ghana. These people are traumatized and they need to take a look in the mirror. I know exactly who you are speaking of without calling any names. She and I knew each other while she was in Ghana. Don't mind her, she is a shallow self absorbed person who only has allegiance to her self. Don't let her change who you are. Keep fighting for Ghana. I stand with you my brother. I'm happy in Ghana and won't ever leave. You have to come to Ghana with the right mindset, a compassionate heart and a good network of people to help you navigate the system. It ain't easy but worth your peace of mind.
They only there for a sabbatical
It's not only ghana. They will do the same videos about Tanzania, kenya, rwanda, south africa.
I was in Ghana for 3 months with my children and the scamming is real. I was even scammed in the grocery store called ShopRite by workers. I made a food order and the guy said the mobile pay machine doesn’t currently work. He said send the money to his mobile pay and he will give it to store. I asked him, is he sure? He said, yes. I could hear him and his co workers cheering on and they were watching and laughing at their successful scam. I went back a second time and the guy was smiling, ready for a second scam but this time I told him I have cash. He said give it to him and will go pay the food order. But remember i’m not even at the cash register when he said i should pay him and he will pay for me so I said No. I went to the register and ask for the receipt and the two ladies were ready to get free money. They smiled and said, cash and i said, no credit. They weren’t smiling anymore since the card machine work. But I was smiling and never bought from the food court again. This is the first I’ve said something about it. There’s more but it’s really a learning experience. It makes me smarter. Also, im Haitian and these people didn’t understand. Im quick to detect things like this
💯😂 Some of them haven't achieved anything in The West, but they expect to be an overnight success in Africa. Some of them don't even visit in advance to do research. .
Yes I have seen videos done about other African countries too like Tanzania, Rwanda, Gambia, Nigeria, south Africa, Kenya.

@@EkowSimpson Ghana is not ready for any stupid arrangements and selfish people and negative vibes.
Ghana is moving on since PA AFRICANISM WHEN PEOPLE BLACKMAIL AFRICA. This blackmail didn't stop people moving to Africa especially Ghana the motherland.
If any black American people or African Americans speak negative about motherland Ghana it will affect them spiritually because their ancestors umbilical cord is is still in Ghana and cannot easily detached from the placenta which is also located in Ghana. Ghana is strategic and standing at the centre of the world is not for nothing but it's for a spiritual reason related to creation and the universe. Period

Ekow, my brother don't worry about those in the diaspora that speak ill about the Motherland. Pure ignorance!!! It is rude and simply disrespectful to the continental Africans as well as our ancestors. We should NEVER go to ANY country and speak negatively about that country. Go back to wherever you came from if that is the case. Africa is not for all people. Facts, however it is for me!!! Lol ... I love AFRICA and I love GHANA!!!! Peace my brother.
I quite remember some weeks ago I read a very horrible story on a blog. The writer was advising those coming to Ghana not to interact with those who sell around the castle. I was so hurt. Her reason is their artefacts are expensive and all that. I was at Elmina to shoot yesterday and I was surprised these ladies are selling their stuff for as low as 5 cedis. They are just trying to make ends meet. I've even made a video on it. Her write-up was so sad
Some of them have very uncultured behaviour. They talk and behave anyhow. We love our brothers and sisters from the diaspora but they should respect our sensibilities.

Whoa Nah Brudda Ekow. I feel your pain and anger. I'm sick and tired of these bad mouths. Their slow mentality is from the colonial oppressors. Ghana and the rest of the African continent is remarkably beautiful. The way I see it is that we need to get back to the basics for a better natural lifestyle. Having all this material stuff does not make any of us happier or healthier in the West. Respect from New Orleans.
You have to take the good with the bad. Africans born on the continent male why I left America videos all the time.
I want to hear the pros and cons of every country as no one country is perfect.
TH-cam was created in a country that prides itself on free speech ad long as it isn’t hate speech. You can always respond to the videos you are referring to, that’s a big thing o TH-cam.
I agree with you 100%. Nobody is forcing them to stay and so we are not interested in knowing why they left. Ghana or Africa is not for everyone. Do not come to Africa with the intention to stay. Visit and go back to your country. Africa is not for the faint hearted. In investment it is said, the higher the risk the higher the returns. It means you can loose your investment but when you hit, you hit big. That is why the Chinese and Europeans who understand the terrain never leave Africa.
u have said it all sister , come and visit
The Chinese and Europeans never leave because you treat them like kings and queens you roll out the red carpet and bow down to them as if they are gods let’s just be real but at the end of the to them we are the same believe or not one group speaks their own mind and the other group chooses to close their eyes and mouth And let be clear when we come to Africa we don’t come looking for handouts we come wanting to meet some genuine people and learn the culture and customs but let’s be honest when they hear the American accent they see $$$$ and when we come there we see family again two different perspectives and how is that ok and why can we speak about our differences and come to a conclusion instead of getting mad because we have two different cultures and opinions. Step up and be a solution and stop being so sensitive

u are welcome
I heard from somewhere that if you don't fix yourself where you are, you can not resolve your issue anywhere, like moving to a new place, won't necessarily resolve internal struggles or life challenges. It's about recognizing that personal problems, habits, or unresolved conflicts will follow you no matter where you go. Real change starts within, and finding peace or "paradise" is more about addressing internal issues than relying on external circumstances. It's like the idea that "wherever you go, there you are.
I love your righteous indignation in addressing such a sensitive topic. You rock man!
Self-hatred is real! I love Ghana and never felt such a sense of belonging in my over half a century on this earth. I feel sad for those of us who are so devoid of who we are as a people, if only we knew our worth in the truth of our history. We are a special breed of people who know how to rise, even when challenges dictate otherwise.

@mightyman6866 I agree again. I watch a lot of these videos. They are both inspiring and sad. Have you not seen all those videos with Americans bad mouthing america. I can name quite a few. I am a jamaican living in America, and from what I am seeing, many of the countries in Africa are just like jamaica. The good is how people know each other and will help each other and the bad is as a jamaican living in America they think you soooo much money. They want and want and want. The main difference is that Ghana is less violent than jamaica. I would not complain because I come from a similar environment. Many Americans will not find living in Africa easy. They don't understand the dynamics of the community. It's almost as if they need a guide. They have to try to understand and connect with the people to feel good about being there.
@mightyman6866 I guess I feel this way because I live in the West, so I understand how they think, and I am familiar with the environment in which they are complaining about. I don't think the answer is telling them to shut up. Obviously, they need some sort of help or they have to leave. I know the lady talking about.. I definitely think she went overboard, but there are many others who are managing and flourishing in your country

STOP asking them why they came to Ghana, and they will also STOP telling you why they left Ghana, period!
Actually they should be asked. They can choose not to answer, but if Ghana does not work for them, they have 53 other countries to explore.
Or they can keep it up, create more toxicity and end up as others in the past have, when they get told to leave.
Aliens compliance has a history in Ghana.
That history can also be a deal breaker.

I spent 6 week's in my home in Asebu, I had solar light, and I had a borehole for water. I had Internet the whole 6 weeks. It was the best experience living in the village and to me that was living the life, no worries of light or water going off, and able to eat real food.

yes they are the worse and we will surely get time for them
Look everyone has free speech, there's good and bad in every country,if someone say something about my country and it's so i don't worry just hope things get better, a lot of diasporians have said both good and bad even Africans so we shouldn't worry cause talking can't change anything if i like ghana no one can tell me otherwise,if someone doesn't like things in ur country they just have to leave, talking about Canada a lot of Africans talk bad about Canada America and England because we're all humans no matter where ur from and i can't be bias but people do have a right to their opinions and experiences
This is exactly my point could not agree with you more
Many of the diasporans that move to Africa speak very poorly about USA and the UK.. I hear more of this than complaints about leaving Ghana
I don’t like the click bait videos showing negative aspects of Africa. But I also feel Africans shouldn’t get too defensive about changes that need to happen there. Diasporas have an unrealistic dream mindset and the ones there have a ‘what can we do?’ Mindset.

Hello Ekow,
I would like to express my gratitude for your thought-provoking video. It deeply moved me, and I share your sentiments regarding the distressing videos circulating on TH-cam. I applaud your courage in using your voice to address these issues.
My personal journey with Africa began in 2008, and I have been consistently drawn back to the continent ever since. Africa holds a special place in my heart, and I firmly believe that it is my destiny to be here. It is unfortunate that not everyone has the opportunity to experience the peace and self-discovery that Africa offers.
Thank you once again for sharing your insights and experiences.

And so are there challenges everywhere else, even if they may be different from place to place. Triumph is for those who persevere, not those who quit. Since Kwame Nkrumah, we have opened our doors to the global African family and we do not regret doing that at all. If you're educated enough to realise the urgent need for us to close our ranks against the long standing European dehumanisation, fair enough. On the other hand, if toxicity is what you can contribute, then shame on you. Some make it look like we can't take criticism. We can surely see between constructive criticism and toxicity. I just watched a US guy say 5 things he didn't like since moving to Morocco. The Morrocans mostly agreed with him cos he did it in a constructive manner. Trust me, if he just came on talking down on them and being disrespectful towards them, they'd have hauled him over the coals. We're all humans with dignity. Respect me or I meet you on equal pegging. Simplicita
@@brofutv1853 Yup! We are not taking their disgraceful behaviour anymore, so immature, childish and ignorant!! These are some of the reasons we get no respect from the other group!! There are so many other immigrants humans coming and going thru Africa before most of us here, were born, and no one's ever heard such madness from them!! Why does it have to be always us, always us, hungry for attention everywhere!! Such a barking shame!! 😠
I love the comment because that’s how it feels like you can’t take criticism but I do understand it’s not what you say it how you say it and again we need decolonization needed on both sides but also sometimes when we come to the continent we want to fit in and learn and all the time we are met with smiles and greetings but they are not always genuine it’s like either you are judged based on where you are from and then exploited because they think you have money again how is that supposed fair At some point we need to be honest with each other that’s builds and strengthen us as a people 🙏🏾
One or two people don't represent the whole Caribbean
the same way one or two dont represent Ghana
After leaving America u say “I’ve been robbed, I faced discrimination, I couldn’t find a job or an apartment, I was homeless and I’ve experienced police brutality and racism;” and a American say “STOP coming to our country lying about us and EXPERIMENTING;”…..do u see how stupid that sound…the HUMANE thing to do is have compassion for that person not hate.
YOUR EXPERIENCE IS YOUR EXPERIENCE NO ONE CAN DICTATE THAT….
Exactly 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
They are not accustomed to freedom of speech, that’s the issue.
@@mitzi4043exactly they rather sweep it under the rug or say it behind your back
I agree. If you like it stay, if you don't then go home. The end. But I guess some people want to give the heads up to others so they don't make the same mistake they did in planning.
I see that you guys love to sweep problems under the rug instead of dealing with them. SMH.

Lets see if she will be making videos about her own country and the issues she faces over there. I dont think so, there is nothing wrong with constructive and productive criticism especially if you are actually living there permanently and are contributing to society. However they only make such videos when they come to Africa on a whim, always complaining about the problems and when they leave and go back to their own country they act like there are no problems, issues or bad experiences happening in their country that they are facing. They have an underlying hatred for Africa and it was just a matter of time for it to reveal itself.
Awwwwww....Abotar3 Chairman....
Please, don't judge them too harshly. They fled the oppression of the Western World with unrealistic expectations that Africa would be paradise.
They were uneducated about the realities on the ground and therefore unprepared to enjoy the opportunities available. And it is the pain of their failure that causes them to lash-out at others.
Of course, they should look inwards rather than blaming Africa. But they don't know any better. Please be patient with them.
No no patience!! It has to be stopped! Too too much! Everyone outside of Africa, thinks Africans are so soft and easy, so they can just talk about, badmouth a whole continent and get away with it! No, not anymore! The "other people" did it to us for centuries, it was our ancestors complacency that got us to this point, well we are not our ancestors, there's a new sheriff in town, we don't care if u look like us, if u can't respect yourself enough to respect us, DONT COME!!! WE DONT NEED U AND UR IGNORANCE!! Such a damn barking shame!
Well I think that goes both ways because sometimes my fellow Africans can be so judgmental about anyone who wasn’t born In Africa and sometimes just because a person has a different perspective opinion about their experience in Ghana so what America doesn’t belong to me and Africa doesn’t belong to you . And sometimes if people are saying the same things about a place it means there is some truth We need to get off our high horse Africa to me is no better than America corrupt ,scammers thieves criminals the good the bad the only difference is that America is out for the world too see and we don’t hide out flaws or sweep them under a rug because we don’t want to look bad I mean the pride is too much I like your positive videos better I thought I escaped this nonsense yet here we again.Sometimes listening to a person’s perspective is ok that’s how we learn and grow from one another this was really unnecessary In My Opinion again My Opinion much love be blessed ❤
You're absolutely right. I watched her video too, and it made me angry as well. It's frustrating how white people often come here and leave without saying anything negative, yet it's our own black brothers and sisters who spread negative comments.
And white people come there and you guys role out the red carpet worship them like they are gods and believe me they know that as well so they don’t complain when they are treated like royalty but believe me behind closed doors they speak it’s just that others are not cowards and will say it out loud while other say it behind your back I would rather trust someone who will speak directly to my face than the one who will smile in my face and hide things in their heart but again People don’t like hearing the truth
Yes we have
Ekow, please let it go. Don’t let a few bad nuts move you out of character.
Being a full Ghanaian immigrant living in the US for 25 years and coming, I’ll reiterate that there’s no place like home. I built my house in a village Ghana, because I love and cherish the simplicity of us Ghanaians. I’ll never turn my back on GHANA 🇬🇭 my motherland. I thank GOD HE let me enter this world as an African, Gold Coast lady 😊😅 wouldn’t trade it for anything. 😊I love Ghana 🇬🇭
And counting that’s. Going on 26, if it weren’t for my 6 adukt children I’d be in Ghana now
I have been in Ghana and i will be back. I hope within a year and stay there.
Thank u bro! Welcome back home! Much love.
ee u soon king
From a Trini living in the USA soon to retire to the Motherland, I applaud you brother!! However that’s one individual making such remarks, the diaspora in the Caribbean on a whole loves Ghana, loves Africa.
Believe it or not I had to pull up a young African brother born in Africa living in the USA referring to countries in Africa as shit hole countries and saying sometimes he’s ashamed to identify as African.
Sadly it’s an inferiority colonial mindset long ingrained in Africans all over the world even Africa. Thanks for taking the stand.

Need to call out that persons channel
The channel is Cindi marvelous
It's unfortunate that she as Jamaican would come out and make such videos, there are Africans that have gone to Jamaica like wode Maya, ms trudy , Tiayo, African tigeress etc and there are Africans that live in Jamaica but you have never seen any African come on the internet to disrespect Jamaica and the Jamaican people. Every country has its issues but you won't get an African coming on the internet to bad mouth Jamaica because they are living in Jamaica and have had some bad experiences so they are now going to disrespect the country. When these African TH-camrs went to Jamaica and the other Carribbean countries and spoke with Africans living there all the Africans had good things to say about the Carribbean, even though we know they would have faced issues from time to time.

She wanted Ghana to give her a red carpet presidential treatment.
And since Ghanaians did not give her the “I’m coming from America so I’m better than you presidential treatment”, she went back to America complaining that Ghana is the worst country on earth.

@@Afiajourney233right lol 😂
I'm building a house and hope all my children will follow me home to Africa. I hate seeing ppl make videos where they are complaining because they didn't plan for things they knew could happen. I am planning for dumsor. I have it in my budget to get a borehole and solar. Problem solved. Ppl need to come with an open-mind and strategy if they plan to move or visit. I am A.A. and I want to return to my ancestors lands because we are a stolen people who are just realizing we can go home! America is not built for us it was just built by us with the use of whips and chains. But some ppl will want to stay in America and they should. I want to go home to Africa because I want to experience the culture that I would have had if my ancestors weren't stolen during one of the largest human trafficking periods in history!
Aaww mis Cyber queen u just made me cry, every word is so true. I've always said, this coming back to Africa thing, is not for this generation or even the next, it's for your grandchildren's benefit, way after we are gone, when they have been assimilated into the system, learned a language fluently to communicate so comfortably with their people,eat the food, live the real Africa life, the culture traditions, etc. that's when they'll see the benefit of this movement,so whoever doesn't want to be part of it, please stay home and continue to put your children in harms way,and be looked down upon, treated like u don't belong and have never belonged, and hunted down like bush animals just to unalived for fun, etc. etc. if u are seriously intended to go and see how your home looked like or felt like, to visit family, u don't go and expect anything, u should just be happy to be home, among your long lost family, instead of behaving so spoiled and completely ignorant and disgracefully. The " other group" have been deviously enjoying this continent for centuries, and no one has ever heard a peep from them, everything theyve said, is to make sure no one else comes to benefit or enjoy the piece of paradise that they had/have discovered, and the moment A.As finally got a chance and opportunity to come too, look at the messy mess, cheap behaviour, backward behaviour they are portraying!! The other group knew and know what A.As will be doing the moment they are allowed unto this continent! I'm so ashamed of my own people!! Can't take them anywhere! 15:07
This their attitudes is what is sending them to prisons after they make money from entertainment and sports
@@adminbentley5752 There are doctors, nurses, lawyers, teachers, politicians, ministers, and entrepreneurs investing in Africa. What mindset are you talking about? Most Black Americans do not make their money through entertainment or sports. Most athletes and entertainers are NOT in jail. If you knew about the history of the people you would think racism before mindset.
All those who think Ghana is bad for you can leave but mark these words; "your days are numbered and when you cry for help, sorry guys, you ain't gonna get that help because Ghanaians and other Africans would be busy building everything together". We are what we are. Nonsense
@OseiYeboa-n6q ur wrong they will again Conquer africa, because blacks don't unite,u choose the oppressors to treat like kings and queens,and hate on ur own because they speak of their experiences
I applaud you for this video. Shame on those low life’s who feel they have to denigrate Ghana to be noticed. Ama Ghana is a mother for all but not those who bad mouth her for personal glory.
Very entitled individuals!

Apparently he is telling his truth remember, you all like to say you are telling your truth but have a problem when he as an African is telling his truth.
@knowledgeseeker6955 that's not even true. He has spoken sideways about Black Ascendants before and know his attitude BEFORE moving to Alkebulan. There are Afrikan family members don't agree with him, especially being happy being poor without basic amenities.
He and other brothers and sisters can speak truth just do get nasty and curse people out, it suppose to be a balance.
@@knowledgeseeker6955 I meant don't get nasty.
Yes enough is enough. Some black Americans insult Ghana.
Why is it always the Black Americans and not the Black UK, Black Canadian, Black Carribean…….? Ghanians insult Ghana. What do you say about that? Asians insult Ghana. Europeans insult Ghana.
@@Suziecat exactly. Because I don't think the person he's discussing is "Black American."
I just saw the video Ekow is referring to. She is not "black American" she is from the Caribbean.
Pls be sure not to put much energy into those, as you said, it's been consistent, That's cos it's sponsored program.
Ekow please understand that these kind of negative comments will definitely come.
Unfortunately when some people are not happy with a place, they make it appear that it's a no go area.
The same way some people have also used the TH-cam to send a positive image about Ghana and has become a tourist destination, you should expect others to have a negative experience.
Unfortunately nowadays it's so easy to put things out there that are not completely true but an individual opinion especially when things don't work out the way they want.
Some of my friends I travelled abroad with, had returned to Ghana because they didn't like it but none had taken to TH-cam to bad mouth the country.
This behaviour are mainly done by some African Americans and I see it as cultural thing as a result, there's no need to take it personal.
I agree enough is enough stop speaking
Negative about Ghana
It’s getting too much. Thanks family

thank you so much
Thank God Nigeria and other countries did not participate in the year of return because I knew it would come to this
Its because of security and electricity😂😂😂 also kidnapping
@Rhitchie1 , not at all. I am sure you are from West Africa 🌍 texting this BShit. You know the kidnapping is in the Northern part of Nigeria and it involves the former government and French company selling arms to destabilise the country.
Nigerians would not support such movement because it would destroy the economy. Houses and food would be ridiculously expensive. Did you not notice that Ghana citizens( perhaps you're Ghanian) are complaining of the high prices of food and houses?
In my opinion, the year of the return is/was a positive experience. Many have found their way "back home," investing and setting up homes there with no complaints. They aren't experimenting; they are truly finding "home." Maybe other countries should have participated and made it easier to "come home" and learn the culture ... and settle.
@@deedee7916 Come to what? Do you feel the same when Asians refuse entrance into their businesses to hard working Nigerians? You didn’t see this coming? Were you too distracted from real issues in your country? Black people from the west should be your least concern.
