In an interview with FRANCE 24, Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo reacted to the ongoing migrant crisis, in particular the exodus of young Africans to Europe. Speaking on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Akufo-Addo said African nations have a "responsibility" to help create opportunities for their citizens at home.
"We have a responsibility to our young people… to create the conditions that will make sure that they see opportunity in their own countries of birth and origin", Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo told FRANCE 24's Marc Perelman.
"I don’t think anybody will cross the Sahara and go to these rickety boats in the Mediterranean because they want to. They feel a certain compulsion to do so because at home, the opportunities that they’re looking for are not there", he added.

I cant lie this guy is amazing finally a african leader ......
Yes brother
I tell you the man is so brave and have vision
Africa must project the African children,,,, before every thing,,,,, because they will try to bring us alot of sickness ,,,so check your self Africa because your worst enemy is the same gangsters,,,,, we all know what is this
Africa must protect the African children,,,, before every thing
Why do you say 'finally' there has always been great leaders but Europe has destabilized their desire to change.....
WOW i like this man a lot. Regards from Poland to all people of Ghana!
The Ghana president is saying the truth
Boy Do I love this President...he's a stand- up type of guy who's not afraid to stand up for his Country or say what on his mind! What an awesome example for Ghana. I'll be In December Mr President 😘✊🙏
I think he speaks as tangible man, not like puppet of the west and east! The instability of Africa stems from corrupted leaders who really don’t care about Africa, but influential people from to elect him or her! Africa is not poor now and it was never poor! Our items taken or stolen with the help from our sick leaders, and are taken away from our continent!
I'm moving there Queen, We all need to go back!
@p a Don't trust China...Africa cannot afford another colonial power...
I'm Kenyan, and I love this president. we need such visions
Forget this man Obed your president in country is far better than this man and how I wish your president is my president.
This man you see on your screen is a fraudster, intimidatory, killer, autocratic leader.
This man criticised the previous government for doing nepotism government so we fell in love with him by voting him to power but now he's doing the worst.
Haha talk for yourself. To me he is a genius. My cousins and little brother go to secondary school for free.
@@alexhanson4933 your brain needs to be checked 🤦🏾♀️. U need help, like serious help 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@bettyowusu5651 I won't blame you much because you were born on the highway where most accidents occur.
My weakest brain is your highest IQ.
@@alexhanson4933 We real Ghanaians with our identity in tact still love and trust him killing who? Although I leave in Scandinavian close to 40 I have been home since March 1st this year and because of Scandinavians we don't believe in hearsay I have visiting the projects they're doing across the country not to mention their understanding of smart governance, and no leader rules with him enemies his so call family members are over qualify to do the job NDC and their half Ghanaians supporters can move out if they want because we shall keep Nana on the job.
An eloquent intelligent leader 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿. Love from Naij 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬.
Since then nothing has changed in Ghana, don't mind him.
@@Nobile6601 a lot have changed in GH, free education , DUM SOR DUM SOR is no more, health care insurance Nigerians are talking about it, free visa to SA, infrastructure, Kumasi Air Port is completed, rail ways about 8 -9 bullet train has already arrived... economy is functioning, Nigerians are fleeing for greener pasture because GH is doing well... be grateful knowing this man took office during covid 19 and Ghana enjoyed 3 months electricity free.. which African leader did that for his citizen, he also brought Derty December to Ghana which boosted the economy GH has never been this popular like under the watch of this president... when this man is gone then will we appreciate him, let do it now... Mahatma did well too with the Accra air port, the inter change, some hospitals
@@maaruth5774 ARE YOU SURE ON WHAT YOU WRITE ON GHANA??
@@Nobile6601 And which one of these aren't you sure of those I've stated, isn't Kumasi Airport completed, isn't free education going on, didn't he bailed electricity and water for 3 months during COVID-19, aren't new railroad building, aren't some roads being constructed, didn't he have the Visa agreement with SA, healthcare is functioning Nigerians are testifying, GH ID is working and the highest of it the security, let's give this man some credit ... The only thing we will hold him accountable is if he doesn't signs the LGBT bill before he leaves office..... Mahama did well too no doubt with the hospitals l applaud him let's give credit to them not just politics, politics
@@maaruth5774 What you stated about Ghana, seems to be there before Nana Akufo-Addo becoming the president.
Why for other countries I did not say anything.
He is clearly a fresh breath of air!
The conditions to create is the following:
1. Forget the West.
2. Create own currency with Silver and Gold.
3. End all forms of income tax
Can you elaborate on the three? I want to understand you better.
Result is what happened to Gaddafi.
This is a great leader with common sense and a progressive mind.
Yes a fool
@Kodwo Ampiah-Bonney please stop your nonsense.
I am a gambian but I love this man
Hmmm. I wish more politicians in America were more like NANA.
Some do want initiative on both sides but you have a very thoroughly entrenched establishment 🤦♂️ But your constitution gives you hope still
This guy is supper I love his language he 💯 talk of Africa and talks less about his native country Ghana . As fellow Africa long live Nana. He sees Africa and better continent. From Kenya .
He could have made a life for himself in the developed world. Instead, he chose to serve his country. A good man
I am american and see that this president is thinking about 🇬🇭 and Africa's future, its young people. Young people are our future living on the wealthest continent in world should not have to risk their lives to find a better life elsewhere. May this president keep being blessed. I hope to visit 🇬🇭 when tjis pandemic is over. To my young brothers/sisters plan for your future, what do you want to be doing, where do you want to be in 5-10 years? A change is coming to Africa, be prepared. Be Blessed my African brothers & sisters .
Very articulate and smart.
Am so proud to be a Africa and be a Ghanaian 🇬🇭🇬🇭💕❤️🙏🙏🕊🌙🌙🔥🌙🌙🦅
Much respect for this true leader!! Greetings from the US and Mexico
I'm from Niger 🇳🇪 but I feel like l will take this man to put in my country president
He is Goat ..Greatest of All Time
At what?
A very visionary leader! Thank you you Mr president ❤. from Sweden.
the President is a best example of the leader who each nation in Africa needs to have for the prosperous Africa. keep it up Nana
Outstanding leader among leaders.
Best African president so far !😍😍
Not all reject his albino s
What about Kagame of Rwanda or Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia ?
You think so? This man decided to use the nations money to build Cathedral. don`t mind him he is only a big talker that`s all.
@@doenil470 get your facts rights doe. Nothing like that is happening here
Well he's my president and I like him, however I loooooovvvvveeeee melema, that's the guy I want as my president
I'm from UK and I must say Ghana has done very well in electing this man. It's so refreshing to see a blatant non-corrupt African leader even Kagame looks shifty and lazy
God bless president of ghana from Australia, hes a REAL MAN 👌👌❤❤
my man🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Ever been jealous of something that Africa has? This guy gives word and vision to something we lost a long time ago.
i like this man
Head hedontcarwfoalbinosinhis counrty
Akufo Addo policy has been "Ghana has a responsibility to my family".
Creating smaller businesses will produce more jobs for the African people. The large European, Asian and American corporations will not higher enough employees for the communities and the large corporations will eventually consume all the money from the African population.
Why don't the Europeans get out of South Africa? Why doesn't France stop forcing African countries they colonies to tie their currency to the French Francs. Is it not Europe who killed Ghaddifi when he wanted a unite Africa with a single currency. Was it not Europe who killed Patrice Lumuba who preached African independence.
They should stop blaming France & stand for their interest. Did France twist their arm?
Africa should get out of the 'blame the whites/colonizers' mentality and take control of its destiny.
For God's sake, some countries are over 70 yrs independent. Started from the same conditions as south Korea. Look wherd S. Korea is now!
Wake up Africa! Wake up!
South Africa is trying to get these Europeans out of the country
@@fitsumek thank you so much, you just speak my mind, that is why African are not moving forward, they keep fighting pass not present,
happy chris facts
Wasn't not Ghadaffi who ordered the murder on 270 innocent people in Lockerbie?
Well said Mr President.... Proudly African 💪🏽
I,m South Sudanese from East Africa and I love this powerful President ,I wise him to win another term to complete reforms in Ghana and Africa continental ,he is always controversially .
Hope for Ghana 😍😍😍😍
I am Ethiopian and I love Ghana’s president! He takes his responsibility seriously and puts his citizens interest before his. Which has been lacking in previous African leaders
I like everything this guy says.. Gonna look into his time as president a bit more but he seems like a good man
This is a President, a leader, and a humanitarian the World should pay attention to!
I can’t believe he’s Etika’s uncle. RIP Etika.
His late father was a president of Ghana
Countries like the Central African Republic and DRC could use a leader like him.
This man and kagame are the best
Stand out guy!!!! Hope all well in Ghana!
RIP Etika... His uncle is a great man.
I agree with Honorable Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo.
Someone said to me In Europe, they will never live in Africa. and I think Africa doesn’t see many around. Thinking needs to change
I want to visit west Africa meet the culture and got lost in the huge landscapes. I'm sure it will be a wonderfull experience.
Let them not go to Africa. They're probably scared of what they're told from TV. But let them stay in Europe, Africa is meant for us anyways.
Thanks Mr Nana we will fix Our Afrika.
He's A Great Africa President from Ghana. Shalom 24:7
Long live Nana
Long live Ghanaians
I like the moves that the President has made but i wonder what will be done about foreigners who come to Ghana and disrespect the children, the natives and Africa as a whole. As a great man as he is i look forward to seeing what he will do about these occurrences.
African Leaders stand with your leaders: watch Yahawaha make a big change across the world.
It can happen look back before slavery how rich Africa was : research the Motherland
I pray to Yahawaha for restoration, restore, return, rebuild, reunification, rebuild, in the name of Yahawashi. Amen!
Africa for the Africans!
#Ghanaian president Nana Akufo-Addo, best world leader the year 2020. Congratulations president Nana for laying down attainable blue print to move Ghana and the entire Africa continent out of poverty. You have demonstrated great leadership even when negotiating with our formal colonial masters. Africa needs no handouts with many strings attached. Rather Africa needs equal partnership to do business
THANK YOU HIS EXCELLENCY PRESIDENT NANA AKUFO-ADDO
Exactly, taken the responsibility to change the African problem by African
A truly great man! I could only wish to have a leader like him in my country.
May the Most High Continue To Bless This Great Man...Best Wishes From Houston, TX...USA
Africa problem is mainly corrupt rulers not policies. Africa only have few leader, and lot of rulers.
Eloquent speech full of wisdom my President.
The best president so far................
Free education in Ghana, free maternal health , 1 district 1 factory , 1 village 1 dam, solving of the energy crisis that has disturb ghana for 8 years, concrete roads, construction of educational infrusture, somanya university , solving the banking crisis ,etc . this mn is doing great .
In the United States the merging of smaller companies to larger corporations and Corporations merging and the technological advancements caused the reduction of employees needed , the destabilization of smaller business, created a group of rich corporation owners trying to take over the world and many people living under the poverty level according to American standards. Dlion
I personally think Africa is doing well in spite of what the west has taken from us for many centuries we still not too far away from the path of development. They took every resources there is in Africa including millions of human resources of human resource. In fact the last Africa nation got independent less than 30 years ago and cannot be compared to over thousand year old England or France. We shall recover eventually from the damages they have caused us.
🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭❤️😘
We hope you leaders understand any suffering your young are facing in their hole day of life..
It's better...
As for me the Ghana president is saying the truth and if the hole Africa call them self and stop selfishness of the killing mostly in Nigeria, Cameron and many other countries,i believe no one will live his or her country to face hell in Libya
Nana👍
Great man
Ghana please protect this man
I really like this man👍
why don't you form a unites states of africa once and for all,all this talks and no actions won't change reality
Don't know where you from in Africa, but check the history about who try to make United Africa, was s Ghanaian bro, but he lost without finding him, the name was Dr Kwame Nkrumah
Europe always kill anybody that want to unite Africa
If Africa unite Europe will fall
In africa they are trying to do something like that borderless countries where african can become *one* they are working on it its not easy so stop complaining cause I dont see you doing anything to help Africa
Thanks a lot
For the amount of natural wealth and resources that Africa holds, it should be giving aid to the West. And yet it is the other way round. It is not right, and things have to change.
Also, is it just me, but the President did not sound his usual self. I do hope that his health is OK.
Wish this President was my President cuz I like him so much here always said the truth 🌍
that is my presidents
Africa. SHOULD DO FOR ALL BLACK PEOPLE CHINA DO FOR ALL Chinese PEOPLE THROUGH OUT THE WORLD.
Africa must recover from all the trauma caused by European , Americans and still going on
We want them to unit and fight for the right of their country citizens,any where we are and i believe things will be better
Africa must United period
I wish the UK thought about whites like this man thinks about Africa
Thanks Mr President I believe you can do it and you will make that change. When you do our Government in Jamaica see that change and I hope it will stimulate them to do the same.
Bring Wode Maya with you to tell the great story.
Infact Nana Addo is great but tell the West &East that The Lion is awake Africa is rich more than all the country in the World .Never never allow any one to tell Africa to devalue any Africa carency. Never listing to their wicked IDEAS.
7:25 Burkina Faso, huh.
I am a Rastafarian from Jamaica suggestion how about mining gold to build subways systems
WE ARE MINING OUR BAUXITE AND IRON ORE AND MANGANESE ORE TO ADD VALUE AND PRODUCE ALUMINA, ALUMINIUM PRODUCTS AND STEEL PRODUCTS INTO INDUSTRIAL AND MOTOR CAR PARTS AND PRODUCTS FOR EXPORT TO BUILD ALL RAILWAYS, ROADS, BRIDGES, HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES IN GHANA.
What about Ships
Nice one sir
Power to the people Mr President. Love you Sir
Since then nothing has changed.
More african countries need leaders like him 😁😁
This journalist should have made his research well😯 The former president is running again because he served only one term (4 years) instead of the two terms (8 Years ). Ghana's law say after two terms (8 Years ) you cannot run again but if your term is cut short through the ballot you can run again after 4 Years and if you win you continue your term ( last 4 Years ) after which you step down.
Look at you saying this
Nigerian government needs to do a lot more their young people who are smart the corruption needs to be stamped out and a fair go for everyone not for who you know
The history of the African continent is long and complicated and it has impacted the current generation of Africans. Today, many Africans tend to have a very negative mentality. Despite the fact that Africa has a growing consumer market, a rapid evolution in technology, and robust growth prospects, people still tend to focus on the negative.
In order for Africa to become a global leader, the mindset of its inhabitants needs to change. Positive attitudes help maximize performance and often have a ripple effect on others. African’s need to stop focusing on the destructive history of the continent and the undesirable elements that still remain. Instead they need to focus on the aspects that make Africa the great place it is and the will help move the continent forward.

The problem with Africans is clan politics. The corruption and nepotism stems tribalism and clan politics. Idiots and conmen get positions of political and financial power. Even if you remove all the corrupt people in power, the lower classes who will fill in the power vacuum will continue the same corrupt practices and nothing will change. The culture and mentality of Africans need to change first. If these things don't change then Westerners and Chinese will continue to exploit Africans.
Romanus darius south africa is african land not europe.there have no right to be there ilegally and stealing farmlands and farming thereby causing statvation to millions of afrikans. Afrikans europe does steal lands and farm why should european be allowed to do that on south afrika or any where?
E o tempo d cada negro ganha consciencia q deus do nossos antepassados quer recuperar o seu povo,
Voltem na mama africa o reino divino esta vir salvar o seu povo
Futuro esta em africa
Put ur people first. 👏
Is not a west is our leader's
We should start by checking everything France and Britain is doing in Africa especially France things like digging out resources for France's benefits. African unity is a most to stop the poulouging of our continent. These western influences is the biggest threat Africa faces.
why are they blocking me for saying the truth
Now this is a good Leader,we are waiting on his coming to AMERICA.Jacksonville ,Florida is asking that the consulate be established here,where the Princess is buried.
How dare this creature asking if it the governance like he don't know that the west by design that's y the continent is the way it is , yes there's corruption but many president Nana Akufo Addo is doing a great job as president am proud of him these creatures know their time is up watching from the caribbean island of St Kitts and Nevis 🇰🇳🇰🇳🇰🇳.
Hundreds of millions of white Europeans emigrated to the New World because of the lack of opportunities in Europe back in the 19th Century lol.
This guy said nothing about France?
if u were up to date u would u derstand why its relevant to france
I love this president
