There will never be a perfect time just do it...... I like that
yesss - I need some of that energy
I've been to Ghana twice and I plan to go again in 2020. I love visiting my friends in Ghana (Ghanaian and repats), but being nearly 74years old I don't plan to relocate. For those who want to become repats do your homework because it not for everyone. My friends who moved to Ghana and other countries on the motherland visited a couple of times and sometimes visited more than one country. Africa is a continent and not a country. I have friends in South Africa, Ghana, and Senegal with each having it own charm. If you live with repats they can help you in the transition so you don't make the same mistakes they did. Also if you're,Staying in and air conditioned hotel and doing tours on air conditioned buses you wont learn as much as you will learn if you use public transportation (tro tros), cabs, etc. Don't go there with attitude that Africa owes you sometimes and dont think about what Africa can do for you. Think about what you can do for Africa.
Me too! ☺️😌
I think fear is always the biggest factor for not doing something. Just do it.
100%
I agree with your cousin, you can not compare UK with Ghana,I'm sick and tired of people of African descent come to Africa and complain
@saboune. It's not complaining. It's having high standards
Most don't complain... a few do. I've seen more Africans complain about Africa.
Much love to Ghana from Zimbabwe. Mugabe's first wife was from Ghana and we loved her dearly. If I should ever visit West Africa it will be Ghana, Senegal and CIV. Salute
Senegal and CIV have sellout presidents who want to take West Africa back into French neocolonialism.
@Samuel Comah Much respect my brother. Ghana is the home of African nationalism and is why Robert Mugabe went and lived there at Takoradi. From there is where Mugabe returned to Rhodesia fired up to make sure blacks would be independent and usher in Zimbabwe
I love Ghana. We have had the best people from Ghana in Botswana. The best people ever. I still remember my agriculture in high school Mr Agripa..hahaa best teacher ever.

Exactly stop comparing there are problems everywhere. Have the mindset that you’re going to make it. Ghana is home.
One thing for sure......Ghana is peaceful and its home.....I don't know what I can trade for that
Nayoota is a great lady, full of energy, finesse, intelligence and discipline. There is never a day you won't learn any business idea or lesson from her... We await to see the Africa's richest black woman in her
💯
@@justynssagan6156 hahahha, she is a great friend and business partner.
I am certain this interview has assisted many people out there who are on the fence about making that move.
I hope so!
Its very true in what she says I moved out the country I love living abroad not having to deal with the ills of racism is a beautiful thing
I enjoyed this interview. 10 min went by quickly.
Thank you
This was a great interview. It's always nice to hear someone telling you exactly how it is and not sugar coating everything. Keep up the good work Vanessa. Your videos seem to cover all spectrums of life in Ghana.
thanks so much - that's my aim x
When I moved overseas from the u.s it took me about five years to "let go" of my Americanisms so to speak.
I really like your cousin. Her mindset is very similar to mine and my sisters. We hate people comparing USA/U.K. to Ghana. Also the fact that she relocated but has been there for a long period. It’s people like your cousin and mine that I love hearing from as they are on the ground. No hype, just getting on with it. I don’t like that Ghana is coming Westernised.
Wow. Great interview with your cousin. I just moved to Lagos Nigeria so I love listening to what it takes to make it in Africa. Your cousin was full of knowledge!
amazing! hope its going well x
Vanessa Kanbi yes! I love it so far!!
Luv dat.
Was also in Ghana for 10 years. She ain't lying. Everything she said to the letter is true. I came back to the uk in 2013 after being in Gh. since 2007. Circumstances got in my way but I can't wait to get back. Ghana is home to my DNA and I miss me pounded fufu.
Great vid. Xx
I am pleased for the progress taking place in Ghana
I honestly loved this interview, so real and raw♥️
Wish this video was longer. Enjoyed every bit of it. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Nayota, original first name.
Thank you both for the discussion.
Nice interview lovely inspiration much love from Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭✊
Well done Nata and V. This is very informative and addresses fear of change for many people. I'm glad you shed light on expectations and patience for some of us that want things done yesterday. Keep up the good work and keep it coming. Proud auntie!
That was a great interview with your cousin Vanessa she really opened my eyes to understanding the adjustment to the culture.
Fantastic and Honest interview. Great work Vanessa.
Thanks ladies. You opened my mind to start with visiting. It's been on heart for years. The mistake I made was waiting on others to take the journey with me🙏🏼
Very interesting and intelligent interview, i lived two years in Ghana from 1983 to 1984.super Life.
Oh wow, thank you for sharing. Ghana is on my list of places to visit.
Ghana stripped me and built me back up.
Great Punch line! Also "Stop Comparing"
It really did
@@gb6041, lol
Yeah, because, you were living high and classy, in your first 3 months, thinking you were still living in stevenage or Ely, and when your money got finished, then your senses came back though
Nana Badu no it was because I wasn’t used to the culture, I had to unlearn alot of things and become thick skinned.
Great interview Vanessa! Good job ladies 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
another fantastic, eye opening interview..Nice work!
Vanessa, these interviews are enlightening. Great job!
So So true...Everything you are saying...10 years does change you...exactly the same process I went through living there for 1st ten years...
My god, you two sisters are beautiful, Vanessa you're doing a great job with your channel.
So true, you're never going to be perfectly ready...just do it!
Great interview.
Thank you for this great insight. This was really helpful.
Nice one. Now we've seen your cousin too. Keep it up Vanessa. 👌👍
Well done. All the best.
AM IN LOVE WITH YOUR VLOGS WOOW

Your family is full of beautiful souls💕💕
Thank you!!
Nice interview! Good to hear another perspective.
thank you x
Oow Vanessa is beautiful so is her sister. I'm so honored to you her.
Wow! Nice interview! Thank you!
Another fab video TFS! 😊🌸
Nessa thank you so much for all you’re doing. If you get the chance can you please interview someone who moved to Gh from the West and eventually moved back ? It I’ll be an interesting perspective as well.
Thanks for another wonderful interesting video , wow seems like lots of your family are in GHana.
You are doing an amazing job vanessa, love you house videos
Amazing interview
You're awesome Vanessa 👌🏿
Thats so kind thanks for watching!
Great Interview ....
Informative Video !
Venessa u really doing good..I love your videos,keep the hard work ...love you🇬🇭
thanks - I appreciate it
Thank you for this video. Im praying about moving to ghana this year and for as excited as i am about the prospect, the idea of coming over there with a specific amount of money and the pay difference gives me some level of anxiety. But im not giving up!
I understand what your saying. It's something to weigh out. What are you looking for versus what style of living can you adapt too. Economically though the change will be a challenge but if you can look for business partnerships you can set yourself up well. Goodluck
John Greena id have worse anxiety!
If your reading comprehension skills matched your ignorance, then you would have captured that my anxiety is not around moving to an african country, rather its around moving with financial stability.
Vanessa,
You rock. Thank you and keep up the good work!
thanks so much !
Love your Content! I watched you prior to moving to Ghana and your guidance on a few things has been very helpful. Keep up the great work and Thank you, sis!!!
But I like you the most, with your intelligence, dedication and go getter's attitude gives me the motivation I once lost. Though things are a little though and rough for you since you got in but you are still holding on and pushing. That indeed is courage. You are my motivator.
Excellent job!!!!
It was a good interview! I know people like to keep their life private which is understandable but the in depth details do help to paint more of a picture. She had family over there which helped with planning... there has to be a degree of planning rather than expecting to just land on your feet.
Thank you
Excellent interview!!! I met Nayoota a few years after she moved back and I am so proud to see she has continued to grow and blossom. She is smart, strong and determined.
Sara Asafu-Adjaye Thanks Sara I appreciate your comments. I hope you are keeping safe xx
She did a great job of interviewing she ask the same questions, I was thinking.
She's very professional. She let's people talk but asks the right type of questions to open them up. She has a talent.
Vanessa , Another " Awesome " Video . your videos are ( INTERESTING AND ENTERTAINING ) Thank you .
I L-I-K-E. YOU Vanessa! Great work!
I really enjoyed this interview. Wish it had been a bit longer ❤
Shared to my sister.
Great interview :)
Nice interview 👌👌
amazing interview
thank you x
Love all you share, very interesting indeed.
I have made up my mind now. Ghana forever.
Well done!
Thank you Vanessa this was helpful because I thinking about moving there
It just occured to me, that Vanessa has got some real Yaa Asantewaas in her family! The women I have seen so far are all go-getters, well accomplished. Women if substance!
Good advice!
Thanks for sharing Vanessa Kanbi….
Your cousin is so beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it. Thanks for another great video 👍❤🙏
no problem! Thanks for watching x
Good looking sister
Oh wow, Ilford is just down the road from me, i definitely understand why she moved from Ilford to Ghana😂😂. Great interview as usual Vanessa, your cousin seems lovely.
I live in East London with my daughter, my fiancee (my daughters dad) lives in Ghana (always has done). Whenever I go to Ghana, i try to stay for about 3 months so it never really feels like a holiday but i’d love to move to Ghana permanently 1 day. I’m just scared about finances
In terms of finances.. just create a job, am moving to Ghana too but I have created a job I can rely on finances .. I have subscribe to your channel and I really like one of your video ..
Gracious Tiwaa thank you so much💞💞 i’ve been thinking about doing exactly that tbh but I’m not really sure of where to start. I’ll put up more videos soon, corona really threw a spanner in the works🙄 I hope you are well🙏🏾
Raie The Fanti Bae yes covid19 stop everyone movement but surely after July things will ease up .. I have some business ideas.. email me anytime bb-love@hotmail.co.uk
Thanks for sharing Venessa
So amazing video i like that
Beautiful family !
Thank YOU x
@Vanessa Kanbi you are a great inspiration to me with diversified value pulling from all the people that you interview on their experiences. That makes your channel unique from others. I'm currently in Osu, Accra (which I learned about from you) to explore whether is the right permanent home for me. I was in Dzorwolu & was better prepared to manage situations that your sister pre gist us about. I'm hoping to check out that investment property you recently reported on. I found a hidden gem here in Osu.💎😍😍 I really appreciate your refreshing, high quality & varied high value content, which will increase your success with your channel. Thanks so much! Also, my son adores your accent.
Nice one baby girl
Beautiful family
Thank you!
Tears much love
It always helps to have family living in the place you're moving to. I am curious to hear from those who don't have that luxury. What was their experience like?
Very nice and informative clip thank you. 👍 I'm from america, and would love to visit Ghana.
Your cousin is a perfect young lady. I would love to make her acquaintance. As an Essex woman in her sixties, I plan to visit Ghana again alone this year and would love to meet her, God willing. I spent a few days in Ghana for the year of return and, although that was not enough obviously, Ghana had an impact on me
in ways words cannot explain that I plan to return with the mind to run a business.
Hey yes it would be nice to meet up when you come.
@@nayootatwum-barima9914 Thank you. I live in Chadwell Heath and plan to visit in July this year.
Creations ok that’s nice you can send me your email address
@@nayootatwum-barima9914 Will do. Thank you so much.
nayoota twum-barima eii Koo
Vanessa, you are so pretty!
Am i the only one wanting a part 2 of this interview?
Royally beautiful queens.
Living in japan with my husband right now and we are thinking our next move could be Ghana, we are still researching
People need to understand that people experience things/places differently...... you just need to know what works for you...
Loved this interview! I am a Ghanaian American born and raised in the US, but I moved to Ghana last year for 6 months to work, and it was definitely an experience! I had never been in Ghana longer than 3 weeks until I moved and I agree with everything your cousin said. I definitely was comparing Ghana to the US but then I realized that it will never be the same. But I had come to love living in Ghana for so many reasons and I am actually looking forward to moving back in the future.
Gracie Danso thank you glad you enjoyed your stay in Ghana
@Vanessa, you should consider follow up conversationS with your cousin. Her journey is an aspiration for a lot of Ghanaians abroad. There a lot of middle class Ghanaians living abroad that are on the fence - whether to relocate or continue on with the grind and for how long?! Your cousin's responses are precise and unfortunately too concise :). Please consider this an urgent request to bring her back on your channel.
PS - I'll be happy to send over questions if that'll save you time. Much appreciated.
Hey! Feel free to write any questions you want answered and next time I’m in Ghana I’ll see if she is available to come back on :)
Nice Vid
Two beautiful ,strong and very smart African women .
Hey VK nice vibes
You too are so beautiful!!!
It would have been nice to have very specific examples of what the pros/cons are of moving to Ghana. Moving to any country outside of your own is always going to be a challenge. The most important thing is to do your research, have a plan and enough money saved to live comfortably for at least a year without a job.
very true, Essex girl
Your right I still am!!
Ilford, thats literally down the road from me
Sis that is a great
Hi, Sister Vanessa
How are you doing?
Akwaaba to your cousin coming home to 🇬🇭
I don’t blame her getting away from the hell hole of the west.
I have been home to 🇬🇭four times and my first was forty one years ago.
Aburi is my favourite community of 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
I know Sister Vanessa you have been to Aburi and I hope your cousin goes there.
You don’t need the Year of Return just come home to 🇬🇭
