Thank you very much for having me Hayford. I really appreciate you. For the Good comments, I really appreciate you all. Thank you. For the negativ comments, I checked and most of you are black people living in America. Yet, you are still in America, saying am telling lies. LOOK AT YOUR ROADS IN AMERICA - DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE LOOOOSE THEIR LIVESSSSSS IN GHANA BY CAR ACCCIDENT? IN Ghana, you dont get a job unless your father knows someone who knows someone. How many females entered the Army or Police force in USA who did not have to sleep with people so they can have the advancement into the job? How many girls in the Ghana Immigration Service got the chance without being sexually assaulted in Ghana? OPEN YOUR EYES!!!!!! I JUST DECIDED TO SPEAK MY MIND. MAKE YOUR 6 MY 9! I COULD CARE LESSSSSSS
I’m Black American. Thank you for your honesty. Many of us idolize Africa so we don’t want to hear anything negative about Ghana. However, it’s good to hear your honest perspective.
I respect your opinion and candidness, the average Ghanaian would agree with you wholeheartedly.
You spoke the truth. Thanks for sharing your input on this issue.
So what are you going to do to change that trajectory? Are you against trying to build the same opportunities that are in 1st world countries in Africa, or it will always be if we cannot beat them join them . If Facebook would have decided to join my space instead of building their own infrastructure, they would have been irrelevant today. Most people do not look at the bigger picture
Unfortunately you are a shallow thinker people are telling lies how naive WHAT would be point of telling "lies". You say" look at theroads in America " it a DEVELOP nation that has been independent for OVER 200( hundreds) years would YOU expect the same roads has Ghana here? the U.S.A.president knows America roads, highway, bridges and highway etc ARENOT the best that's WHY Biden wanted money for a infrastructure bill which was refused. You think money solve everything and if you are poor then coming here to make what's a low salary wouldnot be a problem , but educated Ghanaians with status migrating to clean elderly people, work has a taxic driver for years and living in the worst neighborhood would matter.
When he said he was a travel consultant... I understood his game plan. He is pitching his business which is selling dream to vulnerable people to move abroad. That is how he makes his money.
The best comment ever ❤❤😊
He doesn’t have a business, it’s just vulnerable Ghanaian that want an opportunity so they will pay upwards to $10k for an illegal passage to the west. These agents like him have caused many to go missing and become victims of human trafficking. It’s not a business at all.
100% he can send people abroad but not himself he is charging people astronomical prices for fairytales
Scamming at the Highest level
@@terrencekemble3539 Yep
If you’ve not lived in the US before, you’ll always think the grass is greener. I had the same mindset until living in the US for a decade. Don’t believe western media propaganda. This guy has no idea the trouble and stress that awaits him in America😂. I’ve learned my lessons and have learned to make indepth research before making my calculated and tactical moves
Why are you still there then?
Why are you still there ?
For people who think UK, USA, CANADA and other places will save you from yourself, there’s nothing people can tell you. So, I say go then tell us your experience. Remember, it’s not how much you make, it’s how much you earn.
@@freedom3390 I would say it's not WHAT you earn, but HOW much money you take home AFTER all the taxes taken out of your wages for some people it can be 30%percent off the total amount,then the balance is to pay rent/ mortgage, light bill , water some places,bus fare or vehicle monthly fee etc it's expensive here especially in major cities.
I think you are right, challenges in every country is different. I use to sound like him before i came to Amerca 13 years ago. but now i kinda sound different. He can never understand until he live in America. If the ecomony is good in Africa. I would rather be in AFRICA. but for now I have to be here to survive and make money while i visit my country(Africa) whenever i have the money.
"Ghana is a place to spend money; it is not a place to make money"
This is the most ignorant statement I ever heard!
I agree. Very backwards mentality. People who have never stepped out are making it. It’s not easy, correct, but it’s possible. You work with what you have.
ALL RACES ARE MAKIING MONEY IN THE USA. ONLY THE YOUNG WHITE , BLACK, BROWN WHO SMOKE DRUGS ALL DAY DONT CARE TO MAKE MONEY, JUST PARTY. YES, THERE ARE A FEW RACISTS IN USA, JUMP OVER THEM EASILY , THEY HAVE NO POWER, THE RACISTS ARE UNEDUCATED, JUST IGNORE THEM. YES YOU CAN MAKE IT EASILY IN USA IF YOU ARE EDUCATED AND WANT TO WORK. MAKE MONEY IN USA, THEN GO TO GHANA TO INVEST YOUR MONEY IN PROPERTY, CREATE MIDDLE CLASS JOBS THEN YOU CAN BE RICH LIVING IN THE USA AND IN GHANA. GHANA IS CHEAPER OH YES..$$ $
The Chinese are not in Gahna to spend money The Indians are not in Gahna to spend and surely the Lebanese are not there to spend any money either somebody PLEASE Give this Guy a Hug he needs one Bless
@@terrencekemble3539 they went there with money
Exactly!! So embarrassing
We live at a particular moment of history where the diaspora has to return to the motherland to create opportunities and the locals have to leave the motherland to experience and learn what’s out there so they could understand that paradise doesn’t exist on this earth. You create your paradise
That's good, until they leave, you can't tell them anything (nothing)
@@Ghanadiaries I've literally given up trying to explain the differences. Let them find out for themselves. Whoever has ears, let them hear.
🤯🎯🎯
In theory it sounds good but diasporas can’t trust the Africans. From the stories I’ve heard the corruption is ridiculous, the people take advantage of blacks from America and the fraud is crazy. It’s sad that it’s like that but it is what it is.
4 Reallllllll❤
This man didn't talk about the cost of living and all the bills that come with it.
Of course ignorants don't look at facts. Their IQ level is nothing to talk about
Cost of living in Ghana is high.
@@odengkwasi I meant in the west
@@bayyinahzhaxx7620 Sure, I did understand that you meant the west. If you asked me I would say cost of living in Ghana is relatively higher than in the west. Living standards are at the bottom for majority of Ghanaians.
@@odengkwasi Understood
5,000 MONTH = 3,000K After taxes
3,000k - 1700 rent = 1,300
1,300 - 450 Food = 850
Gas, electric, phone bill, gas= 350. 850 - 350 = 500
500 - 250 car & health insurance = 250
So "250" is what you get 🤔
Less than that if you got a girlfriend
This comment needs to be pinned 😂
Many places,its even worse.
Do you know how much some of us make in Ghana ?
Lol it’s something strange is going on honestly. Diasporas want to be in Ghana 🇬🇭 and Ghanaians want to be in America 🇺🇸. Honestly from my opinion as a African American investing in Ghana 🇬🇭 is that capital is the issue. Ghanaians are super skilled and talented but that lack capital to further that dream. It forces them to leave their home country to America to gain finances to start that dream. Ghana 🇬🇭 to me is a far better place than America if you have your ducks in a row.
Yes, it's true before you acquire the capital, then all of a sudden, scamming, sabotage, blackmail, Ashawo ingrates, kidnappings and armed robbery becomes the issue.

This guy is trying to promote his business. You pay him and get to the USA and suffer. The focus should be developing businesses that attract expats.
Hi, im moving in 2 months from Uk is it possible to learn from you?

What dream is this guy sleeping in🤦🏿♂️...90% of Americans are not making take home pay $5000k a month after taxes......we pay alot or taxes in Amerikkka...this brother have not lived in USA to make such crazy comments like that🤦🏿♂️
He’s selling his services, so I guess he will say things that will get him clients.

He suffers from the illusion of inclusion as does many more like him. The oppressor loves to have his kind around as a counterbalance to native born black Americans.
Don’t take him serious.
The Greatest weapon in the Hands of the Oppressors is the Mind of the oppress
Preception has a stronghold on most people. Everyone has an experience and no one can change that. My husband who is from Nigeria thought the USA was greener. A year later, finding out everything I told him and tried to warn him of is true. He stated if his country was in order, he would never come to the USA again.
We are doing what we need to do to leave the USA and own and control our land and infrastructure in an African country. The overall ease of live is better in Africa than the USA. Money is needed but not the end all be all.
What didn't he like about the US? My husband is Nigerian as well, but he wants to stay in the US lol. I'm leaving the U.S.
@MissElaine121 Hi. The food. The food again. The sugar and the fat in the food. The racism against Black people. The rat race. He thought because money opportunities are here that it would not be taxed heavily. He sees that you get a paycheck and it is always something being deducted or you need to buy to maintain. He sees that every other race helps each other except Black folks. He sees how the system tries to suck you in and keep you stuck. He sees a difference in the way and ease of life. He sees that Black people here own nothing but are the biggest consumers. I am sure there is more, but I already wrote a book, lol.
I would advise young Ghanaians not to give this guy any money for his services until he makes the trek he's encouraging them to make AND SURVIVES.
I think he stated some truths and facts from his own experiences. However, he lacks experimental judgement pertaining to living and the cost of living in the US. What I see from his views is that he is a hustler and such people are able to succeed big time with little opportunity. I think I liked him.
They get exploited the most by capitalists😂
But many like him end up achieving nothing. It is easy to beatbox but to play the actual drum you must be gifted. He is just a loud mouth that will eventually end up to be a praise singing looser.
Many are still struggling, they only work multiple jobs,rent one room and rush to build big house home so others think they have made it.
Yes, but he is in for a rude of wakening when it comes to the US but I do believe he had many valid points.
I'm proud Namibian I just learn today that some of African country had a broken system , this young man he might tell the truth about his experience in his own country where have you seen a government employee retired without payment not in my country it will never happen,even for a dead person he's or her money it will be kept by the state until such time the family or relative are found then the put a claim with all necessary documents in place and the money will be released. With regard to salary our nurse, teacher, police, soldiers and other are paid very well they're on government house scheme the own vehicle.something must be done and stopped by Ghana themselves.unemployment I will understand, but corruption must be rooted out by all cost because it has destroyed many African countries into poverty.
I live in US and some of the statements he made is far from the truth. If you don’t have work Visa, don’t expect to make a decent living wage. If you buy house and pay it off, you will always pay taxes on the land. If you get behind or default on your property taxes the land and property goes right back to the government. Also the wages you make does not keep up with inflation, which can be stressful and itself.
No body is ready to sacrifice to make Africa great 🤔
I’m a life and health insurance broker. My specialty is the senior market. The long game in the US is ugly plight for the vast majority of seniors. No community, no money for cost of living, chronic illness without help to get around, etc.
54:17 - He makes no sense saying that he felt more freedom in China than in Ghana. Nobody would ever arrest him in Ghana for making a video about being rejected from hospitals. He was deported from China for just that. He has freedom of speech in Ghana. So many things he said in this video would get him arrested in China.
In Ghana he is walking free.
People complain about the government in Ghana daily and nobody is arrested for doing that. In China he would be arrested.
There are some freedoms that are PRICELESS.
I don't believe him when he says he does 'clean' work, helping people to get visas to go abroad. Someone who places such a strong emphasis on money the way he has in this interview, I suspect he does cut corners when helping people go abroad.
I'll take Ghana seriously when I can apply for a job in a government institution and I get called for an interview and make it through the process without paying and knowing anyone. CVs are useless. Salary structure needs to be reviewed. An engineer/lecturer has no business earning less than 15,000ghs-20,000ghs / month
@@eever6545 What does your comment have to do with my statement about freedom and the potential of being arrested in China for statements? Your comment should have been a separate comment. Not in response to my statement. I wasn't talking about salaries. I was talking about freedom of speech.
@@IvyProsper Back to freedom of speech. Last time i checked, a Professor/Surgeon was arrested for speaking against illegal mining by his colleagues, A police officer is in court for treason saying the police appointments had to be detached from the executive, journalists arrested for apparently speaking against the regime,Ahmed Suale killed, Anas being harassed, A fix the country conveynor killed in Ashanti region . What's your definition of freedom of speech? If it's freedom of speech then Ghana is probably worst in addition to low wages,hyper inflation and being broke on a national level. When the youth speak people don't listen and that's Ghanas problem
Your guest is very ambitious. However, I hope he does more research as his views are simply inaccurate. He might do well to slow down, read more and learn what racism means and how it shows up in the West. It’s more than rudeness, it could literally mean the difference between life and death. Stay safe young man.
Omg I don’t know if anyone else thought this interview was brutally honest in some ways, sad in others, but alsooo hilarious. This guy is speaking his own truth. I couldn’t stop laughing when he said “aliens are also doing something “ lol 😂 …although some of what he’s saying is the painful truth…I do think Africans should not loose focus in continuing to try to build their own country. The mentality of constantly leaving will not in its entirety help Africa. This guy is very intelligent, he has a business that thrives on people wanting to leave Ghana, hence his need to influence people to move out of the country. That’s his goal, to prosper his business. To everyone: just be selective on the messages you listen to on social media, stand for what you know and believe in, don’t be easily influenced 😅
He is just promoting his illegal business,
@@Xmadiba Right!! I’m actually saddened that our own people can deliberately speak down upon our country, but yet still demand respect from other cultures. This is one of the main roots of the problem we face in Ghana. Inferiority complex is a disease. Also, People loose their self dignity and respect just for the purpose of making money. Other cultures rarely do that. They would rarely speak down upon their country, no matter how poor it may be.
@@RootedDiasporans I'm a proud African, I'm actually Zimbabwean living in South African but you know what I still want to to go back home and rebuild our country because despite the economic problems we have, Africa is rich, imagine having a piece of land u can still get for free and grow your own food rather than buying GMOs and pay exorbitant taxes you pay to gvmnt in the west
@@Xmadiba yes, exactly!
Its really sad because africans can build a better country then America and system that help other it’s crazy the amount of resources they have they just need to do better group economic
He's ignorant He doesn't see the whole picture Here in the US you can make more money but it takes so much more money to live once all the taxes hit you and the high price of cost to living you have very little left that's why it's so many people living in tents in worse conditions than they are own the continent many times. The only advantage for the African is that you have a country to run back to 🌄🦍
If you are coming to America with out permanent residency and want to stay….good luck cause the laws are changing rapidly V. USA
I am listening from heaven and had to be restrained by the angels not to come on earth to speak to this young man. How can this man speak a lot of nonsense within this short space of time. I can see scammer written all over him, and he definitely prey on the vulnerable. The way that he repeatedly says he does a genuine business says it all about him.
I needed a lot of stamina with a glass of wine to finish watching the interview. 😂😂😂
The only thing I don't like about him is he's helping people come to America illegally, that's a big NO NO.
The jobs he see in the US seems like a lot of money in his country its very little to live on here in the US I will give him advice to look at the unemployment rate here in the US you can make a hundred grand and be living paycheck to paycheck here in the US after your bills are paid. 90% of Americans don't own their home or their cars everything is finance even the education the bank's own everybody that's why you see people living on the streets deal one paycheck from being homeless🤨❓
Often people make a decent income but they live beyond their means. Then they use their credit card to pay for things they can’t afford. It creates a vicious cycle that can end in bankruptcy and homelessness.
He will be working 16 hours a day, and that will be his pride,lol.
Africans have Normalized suffering, we call it hardwork.
I'm a Jamaican in American and would love to find that trucking company that pays that kind of money. This would be the best paying job here even more than doctors and lawyers here in America unless he owns the trucks
Don't mind him, it's a lie. He's not the only Ghanaian driving truck in America. Ghanaians don't experience racism as much as African Americans because there's usually no competition between us and the Whites in America.
Lies for sure, he didn't say the truck driver owns the truck...please go get educated Mr. Ghanaian.
@@shirleygrant8989 And the cost of a decent truck.
I agreed to what he is saying….make the money in US, stay out debts and invest your money and take it back to Nigeria to invest it.
@@rilwanbalogun83 There will be evil saboteurs, kidnappers, blackmailers, Ashawo African ingrates and armed robbers waiting for you. It's not that simple.
Mental slavery is real, 😊
The brother spoke from a point of view that most people in the West would never accept, but he spoke facts. Although the West is stressful, many immigrants wouldn't have the opportunities they have if not for the West. I have lived in the United States for over 10 years, and although I have experienced stress at all levels, I wouldn't have had the opportunities I have now if not for the United States.
where you are you have a work permit how did you obtain it
now.. take that statement and flip it. Because that is exactly how Africans Americans feel about Africa. We are grateful for the opportunities that await us in Africa that we do not have in America. Also, yes, those of us that have common sense will be coming to the continent with our finances in very good order.
Grass is greener where you water it man. But i would encourage people to travel and see for themselves. What i would say for the persons who do make it here in USA had to sacrifice something to make it.
He’s speaking his truth
And I can relate America is also broken,so I totally get what he’s saying
😂😂🤣its funny man I'm in NYC i make $7k you think i see all that at the end of the month after paying all my bills and debt.
How much do you receive after taxes and everything? Compare that to the money you were receiving in your home country and the lifestyle too
It’s because you are financially illiterate
Nobody said u see all at the end of the month ok we are not dumb we know there are taxes and bills to pay but it’s still better than Ghana.
This man speaks the truth. In most African countries if you dont have money your nothing and your forgotten. The reason why diaspora can come in and thrive is because they have money already.
That part is definitely true. But it's not just money. People also need to be business oriented which most people arenl not.
lies
...some of us have a saying her...We got A JOB..aka Just Over Broke...if we get ill.habe days off not paid we always 1 Dat 1 paycheck from homelessness...he talking about a trucker who owns his own truck! We aren't all capable to drive big trucks...if o take home 2000 n my rent is 1500 for 1br when cab we afford to eat? Still have car insurance car note internet to pay., wayer, & electricity. At this wage amount im not eligible for so called govt system. 6 years i mainly ate hotdogs during the week!! 😢😢😢
This brother is making a valid point, three is little opportunities for the average person.
Why haven't all you brothers combine your little money together and start a small business when the Mexicans arrive in America, 10 live in one room, they work, save puttogher help each other to move and get their own place and so on...do you ever stop to think why the black race are the only ones that own nothing?
You have traveled, your own words people are making lots of money in Chana, ......U.S etc, so that means you included, did u bring back money to start a business and employ your own, set them up for a better life?
Just to educate you!, many Americans can't afford a trip to the next state, many would like to visit Africa, they can't afford it, so stop putting propaganda out there that they come with $50- $100thousand...there are people that came with next to nothing that did not turn their backs on Africa, but had a dream and you guessed it!, they are living a life of peace, which means more than wealth
I’m an American. Living in Ghana gives us a tremendously different lifestyle than America can. You can have a family making $250,000 a year here and they still typically have to cook their own food, clean their own house, drive themselves to work, and so much more. Taking retirement funds or passive income of even $3,000-$5,000 a month allows us to live what we would consider to be a high class lifestyle in Ghana. In order to live an equivalent lifestyle in the U.S., you typically need to be making $500,000 a year.
Africans here become very successful because compared to Black Americans and that’s even at a middle class level. The younger generation of Africans here are aiming to become wealthy as quickly as possible so even their parent’s method of getting a degree and a good job is too slow so business and investing is the big focus.
😂 Americans at $250k + per year live in 500+ square meter, 5,000 square foot house and have new cars, big retirement accounts, and cleaning service, pre-prepared foods, security, excellent roads, healthcare etc. Unbanked folks shouldn't exaggerate.
When Your ideas of life are you exactly the same as your colonizers, you have become them. With power, you do,what they do. You want black people cleaning your toilets and driving your cars just like them.
@@bbalderston125 Not if you live in NYC, San Fran, Boston, LA. 250k will only give you a roof over your head, expensive healthcare and food in your belly in those cities, and sure as hell no 5000 sq ft house with maids. You would need at least one million to build a 5000sq ft house in NYC. And how you think you're going to do that when you pay $4k rent a month and $1800 childcare each? 😂
Yes you can make $17 per hr and paid $1600 to $1700 for one bedroom in America here my brother is not easy
Is it easy in Ghana ?
@@atikmohammed1623 It can be if you are smart and start your own business in areas with huge potential, and invest wisely. Ghanains don't realise the wealth potential in their own country. Well Chinese, Lebanese and Europeans do.
I loved this, Jeffrey is amazing. He’s a great narrator and speaker, he would make a good politician or comedian. This is a WS dream, we ruin your country strip it and you come to mine on your hands and knees willingly to put up with anything not to go back home. A more willing underclass is perfect for the West or Middle East. I do understand though, Ghana’s debt load in crazy and getting higher. It will continue to suck all the money out of the economy so the local governments can’t provide services to it’s people. Be safe brother if you come over, that trip is very very difficulty and dangerous.
No. I think this man would Make it in America because he would sale his soul for the almighty dollar. He seeks a material life. What does he not understand for he does not have the wisdom the good word says what it is for a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul..🤨❓
@Bllack Diamond
Well said!
Enjoyed this interview. This man is saying things I can relate to totally. Honestly, he is making sense and bold enough to say things that some won't say.
He's speaking forcefully on things he doesn't understand, at least in regard to the African American experience. A child can point at theem sky and tell you it's blue, but like a child he he can not tell you why. Yet why is the most important thing to understand.
Money, money, money, it is all about money. Alot of false information and assumptions. He is young and naive.
Very naive😂
No one here in the US makes $350 an hour driving anyting most driving jobs you are paid by the mile. 🤨❓
Agreed!!!, he tells lies or live in a fantasy world😮
I know many truck drivers and none of them are making that much money. Even if they own their own rigs and it's very expensive to buy your own truck.
He probably doing 350 miles per hour.
His reluctance and/or inability to talk about the nuances of living under a racist system in the US/UK and it’s toll on the black mind and just the reality of living in those countries meant a lot of what he was saying lacked credibility. Whatever question he was asked the answer was always “America is better.
I agree with you. I lived in the UK for a decade but l left because of racism. But for many Africans they will accept racism to live better life than back home.😢
Great conversation. There should be swap program so this people can see and believe that not all that glitters is gold.
I think your guess is money orientated, and he should be careful what he which for.
Most people, live on credit, in the West, so he don't know what he's taking about.
You live on credit . Many people do not .
@ Joyce Trotman
Yes! Most people in the US live on credit and Blakk people are treated like runaway 5laves there. This interview is insulting.
300 dollars per hr he’s lying I’m a truck driver
I think he mean 300 dollars per day .
This highlights the importance of perspective. I'm Black American (BA) and have rarely personally experienced many of the issues (racism, police brutality, bank discrimination, etc.) that are motivating other BAs to leave the U.S. I Joined the military and have traveled to or lived in over 40 countries and regardless of where I've been, I've encountered adversity of some type. But I didn't let the adversity cripple or define me, and that is largely due to perspective. In my personal experience, the advantages in the United States, relative to the other places I've been far outweigh the disadvantages. Many BAs who are relentlessly complaining about racism are the same people who take things like electricity, clean/running tap water, and even paved roads for granted. I'm in the Caribbean at my mother-in-law's house as we speak. She's using a gas cylinder to cook on her stove, a heater pump to make the water in her shower hot, and there's hardly air conditioning anywhere: in a country where temps have hovered near 100 degrees for the past week. Conversely, there is NO ONE suffering from food insecurity here- from the homeless to the prime minister, agriculture is the heartbeat of the country and everyone is willing to share or give away fresh, naturally grown food to anyone. Many people can't afford cars here and walk miles everywhere they go, But its not uncommon for someone with a car to offer them a ride, and its safe enough to do so- even for small children. So that is the power of perspective: If I came to the west Indies with the typical BA attitude I wouldn't make it. Id constantly complain about the bus system, the lack of air conditioning, the roads, etc. But because of the power of perspective, I can acknowledge there is good and bad everywhere and in everyone. The key is to not focus strictly or overly on the bad. Otherwise, you end up making a mountain out of a mole hill.
I hear what you're saying, but you're kinda comparing apples to oranges. You said here in the U.S. we "complain" about racism, but if we went somewhere else we'd complain about amenities.
Apples to apples would be a Black American moving to the island and NOT having to deal with racism. The amenities won't be the same, but neither would the terrorism. I assume it's safe to say you have NO racial anxiety where you are, yes?
Also, my experience is somewhat similar to yours. Never really dealt with racism directly, went into the military and adapted well with everyone, and felt like our people should stop "complaining" so much. HOWEVER, overtime, the Lord began to open my eyes and prick my heart to what OUR PEOPLE were going through. I didn't necessarily experience things directly, but our people were hurting. The Lord reminded me of Esther in the Scriptures. Regardless of her position as queen, she was like, "that's my people", and she fought/advocated for them. We have to do the same. We can be well off, but we still have to advocate for our people 🙏🏾.
This man is a criminal, This man needs to show us one of his success story someone he has sent abroad and come back with 200 000 dollars savings. why is he in Ghana taking peoples money and not doing the rat race in the west.
People can’t even save 1k a year. Both immigrants and Americans
This guy is talking nonsense. The expenses abroad are not the same. The guy is not intelligent. He is mad from his face and the nonsense coming from his head.
Stop fooling
He’s speaking fact go away
@@kwasimorgan8162 Facst to whom his future clients?.come to America without having family or friends who can help for awhile, then see if you cannot live on the streets here or in shelter for homeless people for while some of those people are insane , drug addicts or working poor who still cannot afford housing. Yes , the government will help temporary then without legal paperwork life get worse then reality willNOT be like a Hollywood nice movie.
Stop the hypocrisy masa
@@atikmohammed1623, Expenses abroad are not the same. 5k in America is nothing. 5K in Ghana is huge.
@@atikmohammed1623 Are you saying that Ghana man is telling the truth?
I want this young man to question why the standard of living in Ghana and other African countries are considerably lower than countries outside of Africa? Questions like, who owns money printing in Africa? Who decides on the value of currencies in Africa? Isn't it Europe / US? So, while Africa is full of rich resources, they are economically poor. May be what he should do as a youth is study these aspects and investigate how he could collaborate with conscious youths to lobby against the West and US ownership of the global economy. This is a clear case of racial divide. Granted that there may be a few Africans who make money and appear to be rich.....but what is rich as an African when the majority of Black peoples are deliberately impoverished by Euro / US design. A truck driver makes $350 per hour???? That's definitely not possible in the US or anywhere else!!! I can comfortably refute this with conviction because my brother is a truck driver.
Great interviews guys!
Truck driver making 350 dollars and hour !!! Tell us here we’re to get these jobs
Sorry bro respectfully, you are talking rubbish and I believe your words are dangerously misleading! I pray you wake up!
Amen
He’s very naive
He is not misleading anyone masa
Apparently that is the exact process most rich men in Ghana 🇬🇭 did in order to become successful. Most of them traveled to abroad, had alot of money then came back to Ghana and invested.. imagine a common cleaner in Qatar with no experience or certificate makes more than Ghc3000 a month without paying for food, accommodation and free medical care. Now how many institutions in Ghana pays it's workers more than Ghc3000..
Bro, I was working in Ghana 🇬🇭 and my salary was Ghc650 a month. I came to Gulf with no experience and I'm making Ghc4,500 a month. So u can compare the difference..😮
This dude is absolute right...
Honest conversation. 👏👏👏👏😅😅. Bro, this guy is too much.
This is a very honest interview and reality check for the hype that’s going on about moving back to the continent
Aside from rent /mortgage and utilities every other bill is your choice . People will buy cars with $700 / month payment they cannot afford and complain about bills ! Cut you coat according to your size is a popular saying in my country Nigeria . There was a time my family cancelled cable and stopped eating out and drove the same car for about 14 years in order to improve our finances. Today house is paid off , new cars paid off , no credit card debt and financially things are very good !
Simply living in America is getting more and more expensive. Automobile prices keep going up, gas prices, grocery prices are much higher now and still rising. And in most of America you must have a car to get to your job and other places. Everything is going up in price. And then you are required by law to have all types of insurance and other things. If you don't have a phone or computer with internet service it is difficult to carry out many necessary personal task. Education is supposed to be free here but every time you turn around the schools are asking you for money for something for your kids. It's all never ending.
Thanks God some people still have sense. People want to leave above their means and want to blame everyone for their misfortune. If people find it hard in America, then they should go back to their country and we will see which place is better. Even though the guy is not leaving in the US, he is talking facts here. thanks for your contribution
I’m a black American. Public schools in the States are not free. We pay taxes on our real estate. A portico of those tax dollars pay for our schools. If one lives in a lower taxed area, then less money goes towards the education in that school district. Higher income areas have better schools because they pay more in taxes. Nothing is free.
‘Portion’
@@charleneroyal7381 True.
He made very valid points. The realities of African countries is harsh for many people. At the end of the day there’s no paradise anywhere , you make your own paradise
He’s speaking facts💯💯
Am will try see you when am in Ghana. There is a big difference and I have experience living in Ghana & USA. So I get it 💯…..
When you are in Ghana you can have the idea for business but don’t have the capital…
But the disposal comes with capital so they just go for it .
People businesses to Ghana from outside. Unfortunately, when they hire locals they cheat the boss. People can make it in Ghana.
He is speaking some truth. He is downplaying the racism and society pressures in America. But you can't be mad at someone coming from extreme african poverty to a place where you can get access to water, government programs, free school children etc. The average black American would choose living in America rather than poverty in any african country lets be real.
This piting Africans a g ain't black American. Howecer the true is we are not afford their "luck" in the US. Reason because it is known that most poor black Americans are decent of the lost tribe of Israel.
Get access to water? You are ignorant and probably grew up in the hood? Who told you that there is no access to water in Africa. Africans drink directly from tap waters because they are not poisoned. Do you drink tap water in the US? IGNORANCE IS A BLISS.
You are the definition of IGNORANCE.
U right bro
And one thing is majority of average Africans are hard workers
This guy is not a critical thinker.
God bless u Jeff..I luv how truthful u are👏👏👏👍🙌🙏🙏🙏
The African American & Ghanaians mindset are different my brother.
Africa has so much natural resources, it shouldn't be that poor. The big question! Why African countries have so much poverty? Until Africans answer this question, they will not be able to solve the problem. It's good to travel, make money and learn new things. But one of to be careful of taking the backdoor. It may cost you your life. Prayer open doors!
Ghana has to make a way where young people can stay and build Ghana.
Thanks for the perspective.
I cant believe he said what is a little racism😮
He's not lying. My own nephews are leaving Johannesburg to move to Canada. I think the key is that, if you go to the West, make a financial plan that you can return home comfortably if you decide that's what you want.
Too many people go to the west with absolutely no plan
ALL RACES ARE MAKIING MONEY IN THE USA. ONLY THE YOUNG WHITE , BLACK, BROWN WHO SMOKE DRUGS ALL DAY DONT CARE TO MAKE MONEY, JUST PARTY. YES, THERE ARE A FEW RACISTS IN USA, JUMP OVER THEM EASILY , THEY HAVE NO POWER, THE RACISTS ARE UNEDUCATED, JUST IGNORE THEM. YES YOU CAN MAKE IT EASILY IN USA IF YOU ARE EDUCATED AND WANT TO WORK. MAKE MONEY IN USA, THEN GO TO GHANA TO INVEST YOUR MONEY IN PROPERTY, CREATE MIDDLE CLASS JOBS THEN YOU CAN BE RICH LIVING IN THE USA AND IN GHANA. GHANA IS CHEAPER OH YES..$$$
I now understand why he is spewing all those ignorance. He got deported. He is in Ghana, he is bitter and trying to find ways of making quick money. He needs to humble himself.
If he was bitter about his deportation the he will rather say there nothing to do abroad.
@@eagle_eye7734 i disagree. Sounds like he miss all the glamour and materialism of foreign land.
@@freedom3390 Ok cool.
Lots of facts from this man. Ghanaians are being priced out of their own homeland.
Sounds like gentrification.
Are they really?? OR is it just standard capitalist rip-off??
This was a very good listen👍🏾
Very good listen. But not agree and I am a Canadian. He has no clue about living in the western world, he needs to pack his family and move her, then he’ll get the reality, pay mortgage, or pay rent, then the bills, property tax, internet the works, car notes insurance Too many things. Then he’ll know lol it’s exhausting haha😅
@Belinda J I actually agree with him that you have to do what's best for you, especially as a man because nobody is coming to save you.Either you die trying to make something of yourself or you die not trying at all.Either way you're still going to die, so the award far outweighs the risk
The only problem I have with him is he hasn’t stated in usa so he doesn’t understand where the diasporas are coming from.
Simple! You’ve said it all brother
The pay here is conducive to the expenses. Most Americans are poor according to the American standard. The minimum wage in America is low. That's why there are so many homeless people in America.
I sincerely wish him all the best if he gets to the U.S. What he is saying is delusional for example, as an American African the African friends I know those who are somewhat successful it is typically because they have family and/or friends they can live with. In truth, no matter where you live in the US it is extremely expensive even those with degrees often have to settle for menial jobs such as janitorial and jobs paying below the living wage. Instead, many of the Africans I've met live 6 to 10 people in a house and they are only able to save because of living in these overcrowded circumstances. The sad part is that often they don't tell their families the truth about the conditions they are living under in the west. When they mention making $17 to $20 usd this seems like a lot of money compared to many African currencies however, this is nowhere near enough to live on in the west. Even in bad neighborhoods it is currently between $900 to $1000 usd for rent and there are few jobs that pay blue collar workers more than $ 2000 monthly. And, lets keep in mind that the $2000 monthly income is before taxes therefore only those who don't understand the cost of living in the west will get excited about this salary. I was born and raised in the US and the only way many of us are able to stay on track is either through military service, and/or other jobs that offer benefits/pensions based on years of commitment and sadly every year those jobs have become few and far in between. Last but not least, I would advise that if anyone insists on moving out west he/she had better stay alert at all times because the current climate in the us is based on Nationalism otherwise known as WS..
Interesting perspective.
I am sure África is beautiful, but I also love living in the US. We have it good here, but don’t really realize it. I do believe that if you focus on the negative , you will attract more of that into your life. I focus on all the wonderful opportunities and comforts we have in the US.
For all those that want to leave, maybe giving Africa a try will work for you. I would love to visit Africa, but as far as living goes, I’m going to stay right here with all my comforts and love every minute of it! ❤
So those leaving Ghana to America when they get there where are they going to live. That is even if they make it there. America is not all that you think it is. Those who have moved to Ghana have worked all their life in America and are living on Social Security. You have the brain to create your own job. Ghana is not expensive. Accra is and you can decide not to live in Accra. He is only looking at the monthly earnings. Grass is green when you water it. He is very naive. He has no idea. Traveling legally with a green card is the way to go not traveling ignorantly thinking you will make it when you get there.
What job is he going to do for him to make $5000.
5000k is only 60k
Dangerous guy!!
5K is not a big money living in the US.
@@cocobenji6123 What makes you think $60, 000 a year is "ONLY" in America?
@@axelagba5393 Would you hire me and give me $60, 000 a year? Please, try to help me. I live in America.
We're going to come there. You are going to come here
We are going to see each other's situation.
And then we can come together and work it out.👊🏾❤️👑
Trouble is in Amerikkka they have bills to pay. In Ghana when you buy your land your house set up your solar for electricity and have your bore hole for water its paid for and all done! In Amerikkka you have bills every month electricity water, rent/ mortgage taxes etc it never ends. Thats the difference my friend and when you cant pay for those things you end up living in tents on the streets
There is no stress in America that is greater than the stress of being unemployed in Ghana. Lots of Ghanaian degree holders in their 30's remain unemployed and unmarried. Did you see the line when the security services did their recruitment? Would you rather be unemployed for 10 years or do cleaning for 10 years.😂
He makes some good points. Everyone has a different perspective.
His talking about money but there is more at play living in the diaspora. There is lots of temptations that if one is not well disciplined, you will never see that money. You will always be reminded how you do not belong and cannot be heard. The psycological torture is real and draining. I know of African brothers who thought they had gained a white wife who will actually show her true colours when she asks for a divorce. Some parts are good but be prepared to face the challenges.
Let me tell u I’m born and raised in America..I’ve been to Ghana. America is ok to work here and make money but the money is not what you think. $100k a year in America is not really as much as u think once you’re taxed and all of your living expenses are paid. Can u live good with that amount..sure..but don’t think you’re in a higher class e cause u make $100k..Secondly living in Ghana as far as culture, stress free, peace, safety etc is way better than living in America..If Ghana had a good economy it wouldn’t even be necessary to have this conversation.
Anyone that disagrees with this man ,i dare them to pack up their things and book a one way ticket to Africa and see whether you will also be complaining?
This man is right in every point. Most African countries are filled with corruption, HIV, tribalism, no employment, low wages etc.
Of course no country is perfect ,but the point is that UK, US ,is "relatively " better to live in than Africa. Goverment offer benefits for poor and disabled, though in Africa the poor and disabled are left to beg on the street and enter various occult practices.
Anyway , not all will take this advice but this is my honest opinion coming from an African.
I enjoyed hearing his perspective. I actually believe in much of what he’s saying, expand your mind and strive to see the world if you want. However, he understands very little about racism in America. Racism is much deeper and visceral than he thinks. There is so much mental health crisis in America and for Black people it’s not because daddy couldn’t pick us up from school. Many fathers are absent, in prison or dead. The system applies so much pressure on Black people. Dealing with the police is traumatizing. He had one encounter but try living that life filled with rejection, fear, outcasts, suppression, oppression, poverty where you can’t take care of your child. Anxiety, depression and PTSD is real.
We also have extremely poor Black people in America. Many are homeless or beggars who eat out of the trash. America will never show the world the disparities of people of color or the great divide. We also have what is called black on black crime where our own people join gangs to feel a sense of belonging and to gain respect in their communities because the systems in America takes pride in emasculating the Black man. As a matter of fact, millions upon millions of our men are living behind prison bars due to policies and laws created just for them but the same laws do not apply to white people.
I understand his frustration with the system in Ghana because it is undeveloped and because of it the people suffer, even educated people so encouraging the Ghanaian to think bigger and get out if they can, I get it. And yes, it is much easier for people from the Diaspora to do well in Ghana because of the currency exchange rate sets it up that way BUT as you can see more of them are coming compared to us (Black people) because we honestly don’t have as much money as Ghanaians believe and many of us live off of the credit system in America. That’s all I’ll say.
this brother cant and wont able to phantom reality inn america
Us Americans have to work our asses off some of us have two families in one home some three generations in one home just to survive here in America 🤔 teachers have more than one job to survive I myself as a daycare provider make three times more than teachers, and still rent goes up every year it's a struggle and yes it's easy for us when we come there only because we worked like dogs to survive and doctors also may have to have a roommate so it's not all glamour here 🐘
I may be American but my husband is Nigerian heading to work two jobs 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I am In Africa and I can see and understandthe struggles in the west and how expensive life is, altough I travelled only to South East Asia and some of my family are in the west . Wish you the best .
There are a lot of opportunities in Ghana. This man is just full of hate for Ghana.
Yoo we hear can u list them .
A young man looking for Gold but not putting the effort to make it.
you can thrive anywhere, but you have to work for it, my advice to him is not to look at money first but plan your life first before money.
So true the odds about Africa/ Ghana is real but not sure why they don’t like to say the truth there’s nothing u can achieve in ghana that u can’t make in the USA or Europe.. Ghana is indeed a place to spent not to make money!
....The real America is not on cable or TV. America is very expensive to live and money is everything. People work hard to pay bills and most of them live paycheck to paycheck. Homelessness is on the rise because their is no job or affordable housing...
I am carribean born, I agree with jeffrey!
There isn't much of a rat race job that will give you $5000 per month.
What the brother is saying are facts…
I respect his stance
The only difference between Ghana & America is access to financing. Once you find a way to track ppl that owe money, you can get ppl to set up a bank & charge interest. Even setting up a compound for ex-pats w/condos & Hoa fees for security & transport will work.A private security company to escort tourists will even work.Even writing a manual for integration into Ghana for ex-pats will make money.A handbook of the difference in laws & how to buy property/land,cars for ex-pats & tourists will sell even in the airport.As long as the government supports the initiatives to grow the economy, the possibilities are endless.
I understand where he’s coming from. Let’s be real, there are people suffering and in deep states on agony in Ghana. Disabled people on skate boards hawking in the hot sun in traffic, let alone the ones living alone trapped in their rooms with barely any support. Africans as a collective need to snap out of psychosis. We did this to ourselves. There are so many opportunites in Ghana however people dont know how to cease the opportunies and make money. Sure, the west in great but there are other attributes to freedom aside from money that diasporans are seeking. Prosperity isnt only about money
I can agree with a lot of what the guest says. Racism should be down on the list. Like he said, if you don’t wanna sit by me I don’t wanna sit by you either. Simple shit
Wow! Tell me how much you really hate Ghana without saying it. That $5000 a month minus state and federal taxes, rent, food, utilities, insurances, healthcare, phone and transportation diminishes very quickly. FYI...the money that you work to make does not stay in your bank account and basic necessities are getting more and more expensive on a daily basis in the US. Africans are here making money but why aren't they opening businesses and creating jobs in Africa?
It's all about the system. Our leaders are not doing enough to create opportunities for the people. It's all about who you know.
Africans complain about leader guess what? We in America complain about. OUR no good leaders who cares only about rising in status , but ignored the voters. (do you see any similiarity?)
The Ghanaian's know work around the clock in the US. I know a Ghanian that worked so hard that he had a severe stroke. Haven't seen him in a while but wouldn't be surprised if he has passed.
He is delusional
Many people may not like this guy out of emotion only. However, what he is talking about are all facts. Don't get me wrong. I am an advocate of returning back to Africa, but it takes preparation and should not be done out of emotion. He is telling it as it is. I strongly believe there is more opportunities in Africa, but only if you have the means and create the connection needed to succeed there...
Where will the Ghanaian who sells things in traffic off a tray and makes if he is lucky $30 a month get the means and connections to succeed in Ghana?
You are correct. There is no right or wrong really. Africans need to fight for their country! Protest the government to force these foreign businesses to pay locals higher wages like they do in the west. Blacks worldwide must unite and work together to save Africa. All the foreigners starting companies in the motherland aren't rich. Other races work together to succeed. They help each other but many blacks don't. Stop worshipping these mzungus and letting them steal resources. They are not any better than black people. Africans who don't have money must trade time, labor, and resources to help each other.
Same in Jamaica.
