Ghana has enough qualified people to move this country forward. The diaspora must please come home so we can create for ourselves the Africa we want
The wat qualifications?the president need to create jobs with high pay instead of slaves pay for does that dont have the money to start their business there moving down there cos the country is poor and so people wouldn't be suffering like the rest of people down there you need alots of money
Ms Ruby, happy to see you in motherland.I am trying to come back home after almost 50 yrs.I left Ghana after secondary school to US and I have visited Ghana only 4times. Hope to see you soon.
Our Mother would welcome this
Trust me in this modern day of social media, people still ask those questions… I was asked by a masters degree graduate how I got here. She was surprised we have airports and paved streets… I looked at her and replied, I walked… she opened her mouth wide and said “really” lol 😂
I said yeah really and I was barefoot 😂😂😂😂
Words of wisdom from a wise woman,great interview.
A beautiful 75.......I feel good to see other seniors moving to the Mother land.
Very beautiful woman❤❤❤
She will live long
Amen .... our Mother is AMAZING
Beautiful interview. It's all about identity when you know who you are there is that subliminal confidence that flows through and is recognized at the subconscious level and that is why I believe anyone that knows their identity and heritage should lead with that rather than these "skin tone" labels promulgated by the settlers, the Europeans.
Great content! I hope to be interviewed by you in the near future. Yes, I'm a part of the African diaspora.
Great interview, great content
Great interview
Wow classic 👍🏾
A wonderful interview. What a blessing she chose to move back. Many of us want to go too.
I wish I knew who my people work my my mom died here in the United States and all but I mean we we don’t know who we are. That’s why I want to go back to, because I know I’m from there but I want to know who I am.
When I think deeply, it is so very sad that most of us will never know which tribe we truly come from, we could go to Africa, talking with the natives and they could be our family and not even know.
We were so, so robbed of everything....this really saddened me.
@@shirleygrant8989 DNA PLEASE.
Where was your mom from, u didn't say?
What a lovely Lady.
Mrs. Ruby might have lived on the East Coast. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Hempshire and so on. Many Afro people are mixed with Hispanic and other ethnic groups; their children are taught that Puerto Rican, Dominican, Cuban, Belizean, and Trinidadian are their ethnicity.
I am from the South, Louisiana to be exact. All Southern States such as: Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Texas, Florida, Georgia, North, South Carolina and the list goes on. Afro people from the southern states, I just named, were raised in a segregated neighborhood. Afro American people are raised in segregated neighborhoods. The city of Jackson Mississippi is said to be a Black city, New Orleans. Atlanta, Houston. Memphis, Miami are primarily Black people. Every major city in United States has a high population of Afro people. All Afro American people were raised in an all Black community prior to Martin Luther King Jr’s death. All Afro American people especially from late thirties and back know that the African people who were forced to come to America on ships are our ancestors 😭. Afro Americans were taught about their African ancestors in school. I attended a school from first through fifth grade with a 100% all Black population, in Louisiana.
Every school in Louisiana that Black people attended prior to Martin Luther King Jr’s death were 100% Black students.
Prior to Martin Luther King Jr’s death, every southern state and every in the United States, the schools that Afro Americans attended were 100% all Black students and all the teachers were Afro Americans who were born and raised in the United States and their ancestors go back to the Africans who were brought from Africa on ships.
Afro Americans blood line is primarily African. Yes, many Afro Americans are a mixed bred, but we are well aware that our primary roots are from Africa.
What kind of history do you Ghanaian people think Afro American people were taught in an all Black school?
Afro Americans are taught in school about their African 😭ancestors and the thousands of civil rights leaders who have advocated for justice and equal rights for over two hundred years. We learn about all the Afro people who are doing good deeds in this world. And Afro American people are taught the core subjects
February is Black History month in America. There are parades in many major cities celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and all the great Black leaders who came before Dr. King.
The school I attended during my primary and elementary years was the best school I ever attended in my life.
The school was extremely clean inside and out. We had the best principal in the entire world. The teachers and students came to the school on school days dressed to impress. Afro American people love to dress up in new clothes, expensive shoes, expensive jewelry, and they enjoy going to the beauty salon to get their hair done, finger nails and toenails manicured.
We were served good clean meals at Mary McLeod Bethune High School.
The students were taught very well at Bethune High School. We had plays throughout the school year; we acted as the people who were treated as African slaves, and many people who advocated for freedom. One of the plays I was in, I verbally quoted part of a Martin Luther King Jr’s speech
“ Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty we are free at last. “
My oldest grandson stood before his second grade classmates and shared much of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s life in about 5 to 10 minutes.
I have a son name Michael; he’s a first generation Liberian and all of his siblings on his father’s side and his son are second generation Liberians.
My son’s father mother is from the Vai tribe, and his paternal grandfather is from Guinea.
I personally know many Liberians, Ghanaians and Nigerians.
Liberians, Ghanaians, and Nigerians dishes are similar to the Creole dishes from Southern Louisiana. I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana.
I know my relatives who I grew up around, I was very close to all my deceased relatives. I will love my parents, my grandparents, my great-grandparents, my aunties, my uncles and all my cousins; I love my relatives next to Father GOD JEHOVAH and His beloved Son Christ Jesus/Jesus Christ. I was born into a very spiritual family. My grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great grandparents and all my relatives who made it through slavery were lovers of Almighty Jehovah God. My people were in regular attendance at church.
Sister Harriet Tubman and Sister Sojourner Truth risked their lives on behalf of the Afro American people. They were confronted by death on many occasions.
President John F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Brother Medgar Evers were killed because they advocated for justice and equality on behalf of the Afro American people.
In my opinion, Minister Malcolm X was killed because he tried to teach Afro American people how to think win. Malcolm X wanted see Black people come together in true love and put their resources together. The as same as Minister Farrakhan. He wants Black people to truly love each other.
My mother taught me this from infancy and until I was grown-up:
She said that your best and only true friend is “ God Almighty.”
I was baptized as a Baptist at age 11.
I was baptized as a Pentecostal at age 20. I was baptized as a Jehovah’s Witness at age 23. My mother taught me taught me how to love God Almighty. My father was the bread winner, fixed everything that needed to be repaired, and he took care of the lawn.
“Jehovah is my protection and my strength. “ (Psalms 91:2)
“ Jehovah promises to save and protect His people who love Him and know His name. “ (Psalms 91:14)
I’m in the USA 🇺🇸 and want to Move to Ghana 🇬🇭 so badly 😩
Pray, plan, save, save, and save God will help Us make it there. I was there a year ago. Missing GH 😌
You can speak with me, I offer some consultation, check the description, you can book appointment with me
Omg she is beautiful
Awesome. As Africans we need to be open and put everything on the table. We have African kids today both on the continent and some who have migrated and DO NOT speak our native languages.
So how are these kids going to have true confidence that she alludes to if they are ashamed of local languages. Let’s fix house and then help diaspora brothers who wish to come back home.
Yes Ms. Hammond, my mum was one of those adults that went to MASS EDUCATION SCHOOL, and she definitely benefited so much from it, and was able to do all her business as an entrepreneur with confidence, when she could read and write, sign her documents etc. I remember when my sister and I as primary school kids would help her with her homework. They learned to read and write in English and GA and other Ghanaian languages. The teachers were retired teachers volunteering. I was so disappointed when it mysteriously disappeared. I always dreamed of reprising it, if I only we could be able to get these new age Ghanaians to volunteer or even attend the schools. So sad!
This is my first time hearing of something like this. The difference btn whyt people and us is that, they value the concept of common good, while we don't. Bcos something as important as a mass education school would not have dissolved. People in the community will come together, create awareness about the importance of the program as well as the value it creates, and pool resources (e.g., yearly small small donations/fundraising...that will not be stolen🙄) to keep the services running. We depend too much on the government, that's why politicians take advantage of some our unrealistic expectations, instead of creating awareness about the role of the 'average' Ghanaian towards development. We need to be conditioned or reconditioned to help us warm up to some ideas.
@@gh_blaqsoap2846oh yes, it was in the 60s and 70s! Most people today, have never heard of it, and u have to be of a certain age to have known about it, or been with the education system oh Ghana. They were using the public school classrooms at night.i remember when my mum and the only 2 other women left in the graduating class, out of 15 initial classmates, (as u know, it's not easy teaching an old dog new tricks, especially when they have to start from their ABCs, to learning how to hold onto a pencil, etc, most just gave up and dropped out, except my mum and these 2 others who stuck with it, and mum even became the class prefect, she was so determined, as her dad pulled her out of school after class four. (In those days, u know how they frowned upon women going to school). dragging us around the community, while she begging the women to come back to school, we had moved out of the neighbourhood, yet mum would travel every night to school and back, and it was quite a trip, she said she didn't want their teacher, a 70yr old dedicated man, to also give up, she would go even if she was the only one left in class, as long as the teacher didn't give up..Their volunteer retired teacher even took them to the library every Friday to learn how to borrow books, read for the weekend and return. Everything just disappeared with all those destructive ideas of coups, when the education system started deteriorating along with everything else, as the people themselves started losing interest in themselves and each other. Exactly what I've been shouting from the mountain tops when I hear Ghanaians/Africans always expecting the government to be responsible for every single development/progress. How don't they know that everyone is responsible for their community, etc. The ignorance, selfishness, and just sheer laziness is so deep! I really planned as a younger person to revive mass education. My mum was so proud of me for always thinking about it. Unfortunately, life had other plans for me, but I haven't given up .
@@sos9020 Wow! Thanks for enlightening me! Please let me know if you are able to get this off the ground, I can help with some books/learning materials. You can come back to this message thread since youtube doesn't allow for sharing emai..l details on this platform. We will figure it out somehow...
This is so true
Thats my grandma!
IN-DEED Joey
You looking good Auntie Ruby 😍
RIGHT?!!
I thought she was going to say she is 60. Looks young. I think it’s good to go and come back. 💕💕
It's terribly sad to hear that some parents don't realize the value of or can't afford to send their children to school. The Ghanaian government should strongly consider making education compulsory (mandatory) for all children ages 5 to 18. A country cannot develop and advance the way it could when its citizens have little to no education. The people tend to remain in poverty from one generation to the next.
Very true ..good education is great foundation to the people themselves ..their family .. community ..and the nation at large ..lake of education breed ignorance 😪
Yep, no matter all the creature comforts one has or living abroad for so many yrs, the thought never leaves you. In fact, it seems to be looming large in my horizon. My plan is to set up an older people's day centre one day, to provide some quality time & meaningful socialisation for snr citizens in their twilight yrs. Give them real pampering by inviting variety of professionals to the setting to for real tender loving care🤞🏾🙏🏾Our Lady here has been brave. She had a vision and it's fruiting beautifully 👍🏾👏🏽👏🏽 Ayekooo ✌🏾👌🏾🤝🏾
Yeah, a couple of returnees have set up community centers. I saw one in Accra, and heard of another one.
@@sos9020 pls do you know where these are located or the names? A friend is desperately exploring one for her dad who needs such a facility and doesn't seem to find any in Accra. Would appreciate if you could advise. Thanks in advance
We applaud you. Ghana / Afrika / The Continent is home. We support and Encourage your goal and effort
Greetings from the USA!🎉
I want to go back a little more younger

Great video! Did she use interlocking bricks to build her house? How can I get in touch with her architect?
I can get you a good interlock brick expert.
