Africans should also learn African-American history to help foster greater understanding. It goes both ways. African-Americans fought and died for rights that Africans now enjoy in America.
I'm a black American with friends from deferent places, continents and Islands. I was taught in my home not to pre-judge people...when you come to a place thinking that certain groups of people are "lazy or drug addicted" your already ready to shun them...and it goes both ways but you have to start with yourself...I am proud to be a black American and a woman and I don't treat or look at anyone as if they are beneath me...One Love
Saying what you've just said (Blacks kill more blacks then whites ever did) the only thing you show to others is that you are one of the most stupid person on earth. Have you ever heard about something called WORLD WAR II? Nazi gas chambers?? Go and ask your father what that is because based on your statements I'm sure there's not enough space in your brain to know that

Please learn the history of Black Americans in the USA. We have made some of the greatest accomplishments in history as it relates to Laws, Scientific inventions, Agricultural inventions, industrial inventions all stemming from the affect of slavery. One of the greatest accomplishments that we have made that foreigners enjoy today is the freedom to even come to this country to get education, to become professional, and to enjoy liberties things that once were deprived of us.
You know its great when you can make it outside your home in another country. My story was the opposite. I am a Ghanaian by Birth, currently an American Citizen lived in America for a while. Was married to a Native Houstonian for 18 years took her to Ghana to live. Both Lands, still have them, plan was to make Ghana my home again and to also give this African American Woman a chance to experience the life that she never had in a different way and to also use that as a base to bring other African Americans in to Ghana and to use my Ghanaian citizenship to help out in transitioning all of them into the system. What did I get? Got burned by this woman. I spent most of my time working in the Middle East to save money and bring it home so we can all be happy and have our dream realized. While I was gone she was hanging around with Shady Ghanaians and all kind of Characters dealing with local spirituality, sometime I myself and family never get involved. Make a long story short I lost $200,000 US Dollars Cash money that I had saved from working overseas from 2003 to 2012. YES. All because of the choices that this Black American Woman from Houston decided to take selfishly. I KNOW your question is how this this happen? Did you not have a Ghanaian Family that could assist her while you are gone? She rejected everyone thinking she knew the system better than even the people that lived there. She got into quarrels and fights with everyone including the African American sisterhood who lived in Prampram, Accra and Akosombo. People this has put a bitter taste in my mouth, I don't ever intend to take any foreigner weather Black or White with me to Africa, never again in my life. Its been a bitter experience that I rarely talk about. But that is my story as a Ghanaian American my experience with a Native Houstonian that I took to Ghana. I could have left her in the states like most people do and when there by myself. Even though initially she convinced me to have us move there and it was a total disaster. I currently have a Toyota Tundra that she sold without my permission and since 2012 the vehicle is out there being used by a Shady Ghanaian So called Pastor that I am fighting to retrieve because he did not pay the whole price for the vehicle and just got it with him and since the country is almost lawless. This is my experience as a Ghanaian American with an African American Wife in my own Native Land
Exactly Kids are definitely more challenging to foreign kids but that goes both ways. That criticism declines drastically with adults. We welcome our brothers and sisters from Africa and only need to get to know each other better.
im an african stolen from africa known as african american. america is a great place but africa is our motherland. im planning to repatriate to a non colonial ruled country. researching ghana for the most part because our ancestors were enslaved from the ivory coast region. any information would help. i want to bring something to the table as in skills, organizations, etc. we in america funnel our resources and money into many businesses and corporations with no expectation of return other than the goods purchased. we practically throw our money away. i would love and encourage people to support the growth of africa in the same manner as a collective grass roots movement.
Black American had some of those same values of discipline before the government funneled drugs, guns, and negative propaganda into our communities. We were considered "Decent" people and in the southern states some communities still hold to these values.
We Africans are always condemning America, but we turn to live here longer than our own homes. Besides, if we don't like a place why keep living there?? #powerofmoney
+Kobyy A I can only speak for Ghana since I am from there. But there are more opportunities here in America then in Ghana. I would not have been able to go to the University for my degrees had I lived in Ghana because of financial hardship. However, the American government provides opportunities that are not available in Ghana. There are more school, jobs and financial resources here in the states. I know so many people in Ghana who are brilliant and hardworking, yet due to lack of resources; they are unable to establish themselves. I recently traveled to Ghana and things have not changed, it has gotten worse. That is why I see it as a great opportunity to work hard here in America and go back home and help.
+Kobyy A lol show me one place in Ghana that is of American standard, lets be honest with ourselves, Accra is not Washington dc, so be thankful that America accepted you in the first place.
+MajorrBison Washington DC is not that great of place, high as hell to live and the crime there is terrible and besides,Washington DC is turning white, so you should be glad people even want to go visit there.
Donald Chapman The same goes for ghana trust me bruh! its worse in africa, at least u call 911 in yankee and police shows up with paramedics if needed, don't get me started with ghanaian system lol, lets jjust be thankful we have life and doing well wherever we find ourselves.
I really enjoyed this video. The foods in the US probably do not smell like the real thing in Ghana because they probably are not real foods. America is known, unfortunately, for selling GMOs.....many more than they will advertise. Real food here is probably at an all time low, and our health is at a fast steady decline as well. However, it is all that the American knows, unless the American has taken the time to apply themselves to learning outside of the mainstream. Outside of the box. I am so grateful that you all thought to address the issue of race and the black American born mindset about the Native born West African. It really helps when you all straighten that out for us. We have been lied to for so long. Thank you all so much! It has been such a blessing watching this video.
on tv african pictures are ugly while the west looks great until you travel and see the real london and and new york!!!! it is about the politic of which side you wish your camera lense to focus on!!!
Tino ricky zagor london and new york are much much much much much better than the best any africa city has to offer. been to both cities and I dont understand what ure saying. even pekcham, brixton, queens, etc are more developed than ur milloneers quarters or lekki of victoria Island, quote me anywhere.
I love your video bc it's very informative, funny as heck, family orientated and on point in many ways. Having lived outside of America before and have many Ghanaian friends and a fan of the late Kwame Nkrumah, I appreciate your view points. Yes, as an Afrikan-born-in-America, we have a lot in common and can learn much from one another. Unite the people. Looking at moving to Ghana some day soon. Thx so much for the humor too!
Nice video kids!! Really enjoyed it. What I liked more about your video is how real you were while doing the video. there's not acting, no pretending, everything came from your hearts to your mouths, giving a real picture of what both sides really are as per your perception.
Unfortunately, a lot of Africans of the Diaspora do feel a love and dislike/confusion (not hate) for Africans that were born and raised on the continent. It's a lot of hurt on our part (feelings of rejection), but I truly feel that we can mend our relationships. It is time that we start going to Africa to get to know our people there, and be open to all the new experiences, not judge... just go with the flow. Much love, and thank you for your video and being so open about your lives here and in Ghana.
My fellow Ghanaian's, I enjoyed your video very much! We were all shocked when we first came to this country. On the racism issue, yes we do have it in Ghana. We may not call it racism, but we do have it there. In Ghana, how many times will you see two kids, one is light skinned and the other is dark and a grown up will come and say " Obroni Akwadaa" to the fear skinned child. Although both kids are from Ghana, sometimes in the same family. I am hearing great ideas about coming back to do business and that is great!
😂😂😂😂 y'all are hilarious!!! Literally laughed my whole way through this video. I'm inspired to do a Life in Ghana vs Living in the U.K. version!! Anytime I'm in New York I hope to record with you all ❤️
This was refreshing. By the way, my parents are Jamaican and I’m a born NYC woman. I enjoyed your vid. I laughed alot😂. We in the Caribbean Call Avocado “Pear” too and they beat that behind. Matter a fact, in Jamaica we have a strong Akan and Ga influence...and Benue-Congo background. They dominated the island.
What a pleasure to hear your experience and observations. I'm going to share your video with a lady friend in Ghana with hopes it prepares her for coming to US.
Wow they are describing what it was like for me growing up in the black community in the 60's 70's and 80's. I've lived in England and Europe for the pas 20 years visiting the States for holidays. Our communities have been raped and torn and apart it grieves me very much. We played outside all the kids together the neighbour had silent permission to give you that look or spank if you were acting out and you'd get scolded again when your parents found out panics, roller skating, swimming, baseball games, girl scouts all that e had. Sounds like are kids are getting lost in virtual reality. Help us Lord. Saying this some communities still have a bit of the old skool :-) Thanks for your vid you guys are lovely.
Thanks for sharing your Ghana vs America video. All of your responses were very insightful and helpful in giving me a better understanding of my African cousins.
KobbyA we are still here because of the "green" money. So that we can help our families back home. Remember, we all need somebody to lean on And we are leaning on American green money to help us get to the top.
Great video. Our intersections are complex. I am ethnically Ghanaian but culturally African-American. I want to go visit and possibly retire there but I'm afraid I won't be accepted.
AND YOU NEED TO STAY YOUR ASS IN GHANA, AMERICA IS NOT ASKING GHANA PEOPLE TO MOVE TO AMERICA GO HELP THOSE WHO DONT HAVE MONEY, WHO STILL DONT HAVE LIGHTS, WHO LIVE IN POOR AREAS GO HELP GHANA HAVE LIGHTS ALL DAY AND NIGHT LEAVE ITS FUNNY HOW GHANA WANT TO BE LIKE AMERICA BUT HAVE SO MUCH BAD TO SAY WHY ARE YOU EVEN ON TH-cam THIS IS AN AMERICAN COMPANY EVERY PLATFORM YOUR ASS USE IS AMERICAN MADE WHAT HAS GHANA CREATED
I'm sad to here about the school systems in Ghana. That is a big factor for me, as I have as child and want the best for her. The school systems here in America are horrible too with this ridiculous Common Core curriculum unless you can afford to send your child to private school. I have sent my child to private school from Pre-k to 2nd grade, but there are mostly southern whites there and are somewhat racist. I have an Indian friend who is a doctor and she pulled her child out because the 2nd graders were making fun of her skin and telling her to speak English. My child has been picked on for the same things too, but I handled that quickly and it has not happened again. I want to get out of this place. I have this pressing feeling we just don't belong in the country and of course never have. I don't know where to go.
Thank you for making this video, my African American girlfriend wants to move to Ghana, sounds like a great place. We lived in California, but it was so expensive, we moved to Cleveland Ohio a year ago, affordable, but the weather sucks, we want nice weather without the cost of California.
like the video and loveling family u guys have... im im im happy, very happy to talking about truth.. America its not heaven not even close.. I think Africa is heaven.lets tell are people backhome that African is better.. Africa for life..
Yes because in Ghana they talk the "correct English" (British English) and in America they speak American English so if you came to UK you wouldn't have so much misunderstanding when it comes to spelling or different words for different items. Also when I lived outside London for a few years as a child I always played outside, we could go outside for the whole day no phones. Things are now changing in Ghana. I'm I British born Ghanaian. As for the accent of born and breed Ghanaians do not let that fool you. You here them talking the slangs changing from Ghana, the south London to New York accents within one accent. My sister was telling me when she was in Ghana in December 2015 she was by the poolside ordering drinks and the guy serving her had a strong American accent. So she asked him if he lived in America before he told her that he has never travelled outside Ghana so she asked him about his accent and he said that he watches a lot of American movies so he can learn to accent 😂.
Ghana is always home, if your like me born to Ghanaian parents aboard or like my mum who has lived outside Ghana longer than she dud in Ghana (35+) Ghana is always home.
this awsome I love how you all are like family .. and I don't even know you. this was a great video. I did not watch till the end, but I enjoyed it. this made me laugh.
Love this. you should visit Miami Dade county and get real mangoes . I am from Jamaica and we call avocado pair also. many Jamaicans live in South Florida because the weather is compatible (like in Ghana). we grow our own fruits and they taste and smell real. I really enjoyed your discussion. Be blessed
Thank you for your input and giving me a more enlightened perspective of Nigerian life versus American life through your eyes. The fact that you have come to America shows that there is some semblance of respect and honor to what we have come to know as home. Surely it is not perfect but it has some redeemable qualities that all races can still take advantage of because of the blessings of Abraham. I chimed in because I recently became aware that I am 36% Nigerian!!! I intend to now, God willing see go there with somewhat of a better cultural perspective. Thanks again
A touch of heaven, thanks for sharing the video! Hoping to visit Ghana one day soon to get some rest from America. I have no peace of mind here in america. So as a so called "blackman" it gives me hope to see people who look like me, speaking of a peace of mind that I have never experienced. EVER!!!!! Please forgive us for any mis-treatment you may have experienced from the so called "black" community. There is a very deep brainwashing over us because of obvious reasons and the dysfunction is at a high level. We are all going to be very important for each other here in the near future, so we have to keep seeking truth. Anyways blessings to you all, and there is nothing here in america, and things are not going to get any better. Here I come Mother-Land and the Land Of Our Forefathers. Make room for me!!!!!
This is funny. I can't wait to visit Ghana and see how nice it is there. By the way these people talk, it must be AMAZING. If NYC is disappointing, the cities in Ghana must be fantastic. I'll update this after I visit. (Today is 16 June 2017.)
40 years ago. it was normal for a neighbor to punish you for doing wrong. Then tell your mother or father and you would get punished again. Then it changed. It came from very high places in the system. Many people want the old fashion way but those times are over.
If they are not happy in America, they can leave. No where is perfect. I have met people from different countries n most are nice. Especially people from the West Indies n Cuba. I use to have neighbors from Africa. They spoke French a lot but they spoke English. They were very nice. The wife n kids moved back to New York. The husband/father stayed sever months then he moved. He asked me if I cooked turkey n dressing n potatoe salad n I said yes. It was Thanksgiving Day. I gave him n his friend two dinner plates n they told me it was very good. I like it because the young man was very respectful. I'm old enough to be his mom. Peace n happiness to all.
This was delightful... If I want fast speaking English go to Brooklyn NY. Your head will spin..lol...When I taught English in Asia, they really appreciated my slow speaking. So did I bc I tell my cousins to slow down geez.😕 And oh I lives the African young ppl in NY public schools. They're humble, respectable and they work hard and do their best.
I'm afraid of not being able to laugh anymore. whats life going to become, once we don't have anymore.... heroes. we don't know what the next man is going thru. i wish i could say it in a plainer way. we don't know in life there's a Robin Williams. we got to laugh the pain away. -Cee lo Green "robin williams" point is life is what you make it. I'll make mine in Africa
Your video is interested. Many things you've said and pointed out can be said by Americans who live in different sections of the US. I'm from California now living in the south. Sometimes I don't understand southern accents and it's English. If Northeast accents and pronunciations are different from the West Coast. This is true in all countries. My husband is from Ghana so we laugh about this always because sometimes I don't know what he is saying (LOL). I don't take this video as condemning American, just telling of your experiences. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for your thoughts, I really enjoyed listening. Lol! I am a Black American from New Jersey and want to visit Ghana, can you give me some advice?
Thank you for watching! Before traveling to Ghana, you will need a passport and a visa. Set up a budget and with any place that you travel to in the world, you must always be cautious and aware of your surroundings and what is going on.
I think your experience is based more so off where you all moved to in America. I was born and raised in the south. We grew up in close nit communities. All of our neighbors and teachers disciplined us. We played outside all the time. We were raised to be respectful, hospitable, and helpful to others. I moved to Chicago for a while and hated it. The attitudes of people were difficult for me to deal with. It's different depending on where you go.
Oh my goodness, I never knew that U.S.A are still racist until I read yahoo news concerns one black girl that went to restaurant to eat and they rejected her... oh that's ridiculous!!! Well that's not the matter I am here , I just want to say that I really likes this video you guy's did . I'm gonna say my story here , I love Ghana right from childhood, my dad from "Biafra Igbo " in Nigeria, I do not know if you guy's knew this east south in Nigeria. mean while my sister's and I, an orphan, since 1998 , I was 9 years old when My Mum dead , but I came to Europe when I was 18 years old with my ex boyfriend before he left me, well many years later I was 24years old I married to an European man , I just decided to disown my father country , forget about it and makes my New country Ghana .. do you know why ? because we're like "No man country" everyone rejected us in my fathers country without no caring since we were little, now I grew up .. I just made my decisions.. and I have a best family friend here in Europe, he is like my senior brother because he treats me like a sister, he's from Ghana Accra , this is also why I made this decisions and my man agreed with my idea... I had found a land to buy close to Accra Ghana , in fact my idea is ok ...😊.. You guy's made my night..
Hello, loved your video. It has happened again and again lately that I have heard Africans speak of being treated badly by African Americans and pondering why. I feel no one ever points out to them that in all or mostly Black area's in the US. that often tend to be poor and less educated to be quite frank alot of the kids are just plain mean period. As an African American kid I learned you have to be tough stand up for yourself and fight back or some other African American kids will push you around and ridicule you. There is alot of bullying that goes on in schools here and it's not just directed towards African kids. It's directed towards anybody that's different. Alot of African American kids even get picked on bullied and teased if they don't fit in. I went to a school that had no African kids but I saw other Black American and some White kids picked on bullied and harassed if they were too different or quite or weak. You probably don't see it as much among Whites because the Whites you are around are wealthier and better educated. Young people from better educated and middle class Black families tend to be nicer as well. But I've heard stories of some poor White neighborhoods where the kids are very mean and rough. Poor White neighborhoods in America are somewhat rare though. Sorry you went through that but I don't think it's as much anything to do with African Americans in general not liking Africans as much as just a bullying problem with young poor Black kids in general. Some of them possess a lot of anger.
Well the African american history will explain the anger and hate. Please do not stay in america. If you're just there for school or business then fine. But don't live there, make sure you educate yourself about the African American history.
GOOD YOU ARE NOT HERE, BUT YOUR ON AN AMERICAN PLATFORM DONT LIVE IN AMERICA AND PLEASE STOP USING AMERICA COMPANIES, TH-cam, GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM IS ALL AMERICAN MADE AND WHY ARE YOU ON IT?????? GHANA DONT OFFER SUCH A THING
it's how you carry yourself if you don't hang around rathect people regardless of the race and mind your own business you will be ok it depends where you live I'm sure a person from Africa not going to move all the way to America to stay in the getto if they do they minus well stay home you come to America with business on your mind and you will be fine it's plenty of people from Africa over here and they doing good and nothing never happened to them and they been over here ten or more years it's where you at and how you carry yourself if you get involved with bad people then of course you will have trouble that's any country you go too and quit looking at TV and the news and social media so much because that's all they show is the bad side of America it's good and bad everywhere
I think for Africans moving somewhere rural like the south and southwest is better for transitioning then to move to a big city like New York. The weather and open space and culture ! Cheaper cost of living is a little easier and better then New York..
I enjoy watching and listening to you all. We need some fufu and some of your other foods in America Especially the fresh fruits and vegetables What about a restaurant? Or maybe even a market just a thought
I anticipated your comment about Imtra-racism. I participated in a conference about intra-racism and a Haitian lady explained her poor treatment by African American girls. She stated that she transferred to a mostly white school and the white kids were nice to her but mean to the white Cuban kids. The harassment of foreigners isn’t a black thing as much as it’s a human thing based in cultural differences. It’s probably more tribal than racial but wrong all the same.
nicolz lami So Ghana is not so great. The white man has a system in place for you to make quick money. And the blacks in Ghana can't seem to make that happen. Just as long as you are clear on that.
yes so what was the white man doing in Africa if his country was so great? We've come for what they've took. Like they did we are using their country to build ours. It's called karma and payback. We building big houses back home.
kids play together in the country and suburbs. Not in New York. It's a city. But go down south or in a country town. It's really different. The black Americans were told a lot of lies about the mentality of Africans and how they feel about African Americans. And the white people that smiled with you were not really on your side. The system is still very racist against blacks.
Furthermore, people that are coming to America should take in account that every place has nice areas and not so nice. Good people and bad people. This country is large. Each region will give you a different experience and way of life.
You can always go back to Ghana if this is not an ideal country for you guys. The opportunity you get here, you will not have if you still lived in Ghana. You immigrate here not to visit. Good video though
my best advise to you is to contact the Americans who have already repatriated to Ghana. They can translate leaving in the USA with that of Ghana better for you. best
when i went to ghana i was called obroni 4 times in one day even by children. in america i'm black with both parents dark skin so ghanaians understand racism.
+Dreams and Promises, Obroni means a white person/Foreigner. You can be black and be referred to as Obroni. I'm Ghanaian, born and raised in Ghana and due to the fact that I've lived in the USA for a long time, a few people calls me Obroni because my culture is missed American culture, thus, one may refer to you as Obroni because your ways/culture is different from them.
akabajada777 .. I've been told by many that it means foreigner and white man because of the conflict with white people in pre colonial times on Ghanaian soil. some soften the blow by saying it means stranger but either way it always came with a giggle after being said. it may be said playfully but they definitely mark the difference between west African and non.
Dreams and Promises Okay let me educate you a lil bit "me nua😜" "Obroni" doesn't mean bad or racist, it simply means a foreigner or immigrant then you add where the migrant is from or the color to differentiate if needed. Hope that helps to understand so you don't get offended 😀
Obroni is not offensive at all....ids actually kind of a playful.....some people refer to all east asians as chinese...ids just a little lack of exposure....it doesnt have any malicious intent .....being a foreigner in Ghana can even afford you privileges that a citizen or local wont have access to.....😊😊😊😊😊😊...we tend to treat foreigners even better than ourselves
First it disturbing to hear that people can think a country can be like Heaven. Even in places like Miami, Hawaii, California people work hard to achieve the status of life that seen on TV. Arriving to American with limited money you will live the same as Americans with limited money, as for food its a personal preferences. My first impression of Ghana when I visit Kumasi and then Accra is very hot and undeveloped. Visiting Ghana made me thankful for everything I have in America. The one thing I wish black in American can incorporated is how there was no violence and how family is value especially marriage. The bribery is the most annoying and disrespectful behavior I have every witness and it acceptable. The black out, no Internet, the walking in that kind of heat OMG. I just didn't understand how people did it I was amaze. I visit the beach in Kumari extremely dirty and the smell oh my God it was awful. I really enjoy the rice and fish. Here in the states they have specialty stores that you can purchase same ingredients in Ghana so that Ghanaian living in the states can eat the food they was raise on. As a America there is absolutely no other place I would live, this counties was build off the back of African and the soil is soak with the blood and tears of my ancestors. It's will never Heaven but it also far from Hell. I wish you all the best since everyone have been here for many years now I guess America not that bad or you would have went back home.
Your analysis is on point. No Country or a place is heaven - "heaven is what you make it and hell is what you go through" (Wu Tang). Black Americans have gone through holocaust and still continue to live through that legacy. I do not think they hate America it's just ambivalence due to their experience. It is difficult for one to hate the only Country they've ever known without a good reason. One can never compare anywhere in Ghana to even Eastern Europe let alone USA. The only reason I like Ghana is that's where am from, the Country is so backward I do not know where to begin. Town planning is non existent, endless police barriers to extort money from citizens, rule of law leaves so much to be desired. Anyone with links to government does what they like. You the citizen can not stand up to the security services. I love GH but it's far far away from even Eastern European stage of development. These kids do not know what they are talking about as they left GH before they even hit their teens. They never experienced the bribery, corruption, begging, pleading, indiscipline, open sewage, lack of roads and pavements etc. Kigali/ Rwanda is 100 times more, prettier, cleaner, organised and disciplined than Accra/Ghana.
Your language should be geared to the audience you want to reach. This African American is starved for such info You lost me towards the end when you switched to exclusively to your language but we are watching and starved for such information. Please keep doing it. We are listening.
I have friends in Ghana now that do not have food to eat they do not have proper Healthcare. There are no food banks in Ghana there is no emergency that will allow you in if you are sick if you do not pay your hospital bill they will detain you. People who do not appreciate the United States maybe you should find someplace else. the thing is amazing as these people that go hungry and Ghana and don't have the things that we have are still a proud people but they deserve better of a country that's rich and gold, Cocoa, and other things you talked about our government in America being corrupt check out Ghana. One of the reason for so much scamming coming out of this part of the world is because people have nothing I'm not saying it's all right to scam as a matter of fact I think it's a downright damn shame that people do this. But people are desperate in Ghana the people who have things in Ghana and have money pay no attention to these people

Africans should also learn African-American history to help foster greater understanding. It goes both ways. African-Americans fought and died for rights that Africans now enjoy in America.
Yes sir please say that again I don't think no body heard you correctly....please say it a little louder a lot of us choose to be deaf and dumb..
Also we were told that Africans don't like American blacks that's why we were sold into slavery by them
that's stupid dear..because we were Africans before we were Americans.
Tyonna Neal not of us were Africans ,but I receive your point.
***** you troll have nothing better to do.
I love meeting people from Africa . . they are always so nice and homely 😇.
Hahaha! Thank you! You're all great. I hope to travel to Africa in 2018. hearing your perspectives is so helpful. All the Best.
Go to Ghana pls
I'm a black American with friends from deferent places, continents and Islands. I was taught in my home not to pre-judge people...when you come to a place thinking that certain groups of people are "lazy or drug addicted" your already ready to shun them...and it goes both ways but you have to start with yourself...I am proud to be a black American and a woman and I don't treat or look at anyone as if they are beneath me...One Love
Saying what you've just said (Blacks kill more blacks then whites ever did) the only thing you show to others is that you are one of the most stupid person on earth. Have you ever heard about something called WORLD WAR II? Nazi gas chambers?? Go and ask your father what that is because based on your statements I'm sure there's not enough space in your brain to know that

Please learn the history of Black Americans in the USA. We have made some of the greatest accomplishments in history as it relates to Laws, Scientific inventions, Agricultural inventions, industrial inventions all stemming from the affect of slavery. One of the greatest accomplishments that we have made that foreigners enjoy today is the freedom to even come to this country to get education, to become professional, and to enjoy liberties things that once were deprived of us.
As well as the history of racism in this country and how it has impacted African Americans.
You know its great when you can make it outside your home in another country. My story was the opposite. I am a Ghanaian by Birth, currently an American Citizen lived in America for a while. Was married to a Native Houstonian for 18 years took her to Ghana to live. Both Lands, still have them, plan was to make Ghana my home again and to also give this African American Woman a chance to experience the life that she never had in a different way and to also use that as a base to bring other African Americans in to Ghana and to use my Ghanaian citizenship to help out in transitioning all of them into the system. What did I get? Got burned by this woman. I spent most of my time working in the Middle East to save money and bring it home so we can all be happy and have our dream realized. While I was gone she was hanging around with Shady Ghanaians and all kind of Characters dealing with local spirituality, sometime I myself and family never get involved. Make a long story short I lost $200,000 US Dollars Cash money that I had saved from working overseas from 2003 to 2012. YES. All because of the choices that this Black American Woman from Houston decided to take selfishly. I KNOW your question is how this this happen? Did you not have a Ghanaian Family that could assist her while you are gone? She rejected everyone thinking she knew the system better than even the people that lived there. She got into quarrels and fights with everyone including the African American sisterhood who lived in Prampram, Accra and Akosombo. People this has put a bitter taste in my mouth, I don't ever intend to take any foreigner weather Black or White with me to Africa, never again in my life. Its been a bitter experience that I rarely talk about. But that is my story as a Ghanaian American my experience with a Native Houstonian that I took to Ghana. I could have left her in the states like most people do and when there by myself. Even though initially she convinced me to have us move there and it was a total disaster. I currently have a Toyota Tundra that she sold without my permission and since 2012 the vehicle is out there being used by a Shady Ghanaian So called Pastor that I am fighting to retrieve because he did not pay the whole price for the vehicle and just got it with him and since the country is almost lawless. This is my experience as a Ghanaian American with an African American Wife in my own Native Land
Not all Black Americans are the same! I definitely would welcome you with open arms!!! I want to learn more about cultures in Africa!!
Shannon ok
Exactly
Kids are definitely more challenging to foreign kids but that goes both ways. That criticism declines drastically with adults. We welcome our brothers and sisters from Africa and only need to get to know each other better.
im an african stolen from africa known as african american. america is a great place but africa is our motherland. im planning to repatriate to a non colonial ruled country. researching ghana for the most part because our ancestors were enslaved from the ivory coast region. any information would help. i want to bring something to the table as in skills, organizations, etc. we in america funnel our resources and money into many businesses and corporations with no expectation of return other than the goods purchased. we practically throw our money away. i would love and encourage people to support the growth of africa in the same manner as a collective grass roots movement.
HiFiiEntertainment
we were not stolen from no where,
yudah el stop trolling on every got damn video about africa who are you to tell someone where there from worry about your self
Black American had some of those same values of discipline before the government funneled drugs, guns, and negative propaganda into our communities. We were considered "Decent" people and in the southern states some communities still hold to these values.
We Africans are always condemning America, but we turn to live here longer than our own homes. Besides, if we don't like a place why keep living there?? #powerofmoney
+Kobyy A I can only speak for Ghana since I am from there. But there are more opportunities here in America then in Ghana. I would not have been able to go to the University for my degrees had I lived in Ghana because of financial hardship. However, the American government provides opportunities that are not available in Ghana. There are more school, jobs and financial resources here in the states. I know so many people in Ghana who are brilliant and hardworking, yet due to lack of resources; they are unable to establish themselves. I recently traveled to Ghana and things have not changed, it has gotten worse. That is why I see it as a great opportunity to work hard here in America and go back home and help.
+TeaTimeWithBev balanced view. get the goods and bring the value back home. thats a good thing!
+Kobyy A lol show me one place in Ghana that is of American standard, lets be honest with ourselves, Accra is not Washington dc, so be thankful that America accepted you in the first place.
+MajorrBison Washington DC is not that great of place, high as hell to live and the crime there is terrible and besides,Washington DC is turning white, so you should be glad people even want to go visit there.
Donald Chapman
The same goes for ghana trust me bruh! its worse in africa, at least u call 911 in yankee and police shows up with paramedics if needed, don't get me started with ghanaian system lol, lets jjust be thankful we have life and doing well wherever we find ourselves.
I really enjoyed this video. The foods in the US probably do not smell like the real thing in Ghana because they probably are not real foods. America is known, unfortunately, for selling GMOs.....many more than they will advertise. Real food here is probably at an all time low, and our health is at a fast steady decline as well. However, it is all that the American knows, unless the American has taken the time to apply themselves to learning outside of the mainstream. Outside of the box. I am so grateful that you all thought to address the issue of race and the black American born mindset about the Native born West African. It really helps when you all straighten that out for us. We have been lied to for so long. Thank you all so much! It has been such a blessing watching this video.
+Pryncess Frazier Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
on tv african pictures are ugly while the west looks great until you travel and see the real london and and new york!!!! it is about the politic of which side you wish your camera lense to focus on!!!
Tino ricky zagor london and new york are much much much much much better than the best any africa city has to offer. been to both cities and I dont understand what ure saying. even pekcham, brixton, queens, etc are more developed than ur milloneers quarters or lekki of victoria Island, quote me anywhere.
Henry Tudor you're fucking mad all the areas you live are stabbing and shooting hubs m where in Nigeria shootings are rare
I love your video bc it's very informative, funny as heck, family orientated and on point in many ways. Having lived outside of America before and have many Ghanaian friends and a fan of the late Kwame Nkrumah, I appreciate your view points. Yes, as an Afrikan-born-in-America, we have a lot in common and can learn much from one another. Unite the people. Looking at moving to Ghana some day soon. Thx so much for the humor too!
Thanks you for watching and stay blessed!!
Likewise! pls take some time out when you'reready to view some of mt videos on youtube. Kinara
Oh nice one always getting better and better each time you pp perform, great job , keep it up, love watching
Nice video kids!! Really enjoyed it. What I liked more about your video is how real you were while doing the video. there's not acting, no pretending, everything came from your hearts to your mouths, giving a real picture of what both sides really are as per your perception.
Thank you for watching! :)
Unfortunately, a lot of Africans of the Diaspora do feel a love and dislike/confusion (not hate) for Africans that were born and raised on the continent. It's a lot of hurt on our part (feelings of rejection), but I truly feel that we can mend our relationships. It is time that we start going to Africa to get to know our people there, and be open to all the new experiences, not judge... just go with the flow. Much love, and thank you for your video and being so open about your lives here and in Ghana.
How sweet. Welcome. If no one has told you. I say Welcome. I pray you are afforded opportunity.
this was a nice video!!!!!! I love the brothers and sister from Ghana. Thanks for keep things positive.
My fellow Ghanaian's, I enjoyed your video very much! We were all shocked when we first came to this country. On the racism issue, yes we do have it in Ghana. We may not call it racism, but we do have it there. In Ghana, how many times will you see two kids, one is light skinned and the other is dark and a grown up will come and say " Obroni Akwadaa" to the fear skinned child. Although both kids are from Ghana, sometimes in the same family. I am hearing great ideas about coming back to do business and that is great!
😂😂😂😂 y'all are hilarious!!! Literally laughed my whole way through this video. I'm inspired to do a Life in Ghana vs Living in the U.K. version!! Anytime I'm in New York I hope to record with you all ❤️
That would be awesome. I'm looking forward to watching the life in Ghana vs life in U.K video ;)
This was refreshing. By the way, my parents are Jamaican and I’m a born NYC woman. I enjoyed your vid. I laughed alot😂. We in the Caribbean Call Avocado “Pear” too and they beat that behind. Matter a fact, in Jamaica we have a strong Akan and Ga influence...and Benue-Congo background. They dominated the island.
We also call avocados pears well butters in Liberia
What a pleasure to hear your experience and observations. I'm going to share your video with a lady friend in Ghana with hopes it prepares her for coming to US.
Wow they are describing what it was like for me growing up in the black community in the 60's 70's and 80's. I've lived in England and Europe for the pas 20 years visiting the States for holidays. Our communities have been raped and torn and apart it grieves me very much. We played outside all the kids together the neighbour had silent permission to give you that look or spank if you were acting out and you'd get scolded again when your parents found out panics, roller skating, swimming, baseball games, girl scouts all that e had. Sounds like are kids are getting lost in virtual reality. Help us Lord. Saying this some communities still have a bit of the old skool :-) Thanks for your vid you guys are lovely.
Thanks for sharing your Ghana vs America video. All of your responses were very insightful and helpful in giving me a better understanding of my African cousins.
Thanks for watching :)
KobbyA we are still here because of the "green" money. So that we can help our families back home. Remember, we all need somebody to lean on And we are leaning on American green money to help us get to the top.
great video, always love seeing all of you!
Great video. Our intersections are complex. I am ethnically Ghanaian but culturally African-American. I want to go visit and possibly retire there but I'm afraid I won't be accepted.
Whoever dislike Ghana and said that Ghanians should be thankful for the US to accept them needs to sit down & STHU.
AND YOU NEED TO STAY YOUR ASS IN GHANA, AMERICA IS NOT ASKING GHANA PEOPLE TO MOVE TO AMERICA GO HELP THOSE WHO DONT HAVE MONEY, WHO STILL DONT HAVE LIGHTS, WHO LIVE IN POOR AREAS GO HELP GHANA HAVE LIGHTS ALL DAY AND NIGHT LEAVE ITS FUNNY HOW GHANA WANT TO BE LIKE AMERICA BUT HAVE SO MUCH BAD TO SAY WHY ARE YOU EVEN ON TH-cam THIS IS AN AMERICAN COMPANY EVERY PLATFORM YOUR ASS USE IS AMERICAN MADE WHAT HAS GHANA CREATED
Could you write that English please?
I'm sad to here about the school systems in Ghana. That is a big factor for me, as I have as child and want the best for her. The school systems here in America are horrible too with this ridiculous Common Core curriculum unless you can afford to send your child to private school. I have sent my child to private school from Pre-k to 2nd grade, but there are mostly southern whites there and are somewhat racist. I have an Indian friend who is a doctor and she pulled her child out because the 2nd graders were making fun of her skin and telling her to speak English. My child has been picked on for the same things too, but I handled that quickly and it has not happened again. I want to get out of this place. I have this pressing feeling we just don't belong in the country and of course never have. I don't know where to go.
Thank you for making this video, my African American girlfriend wants to move to Ghana, sounds like a great place. We lived in California, but it was so expensive, we moved to Cleveland Ohio a year ago, affordable, but the weather sucks, we want nice weather without the cost of California.
like the video and loveling family u guys have... im im im happy, very happy to talking about truth.. America its not heaven not even close.. I think Africa is heaven.lets tell are people backhome that African is better.. Africa for life..
I like this video so much. You all answers are so authentic and speak truth. It feels soo real. You all experience. Which is cool. Thank ☺❤
Yes because in Ghana they talk the "correct English" (British English) and in America they speak American English so if you came to UK you wouldn't have so much misunderstanding when it comes to spelling or different words for different items. Also when I lived outside London for a few years as a child I always played outside, we could go outside for the whole day no phones. Things are now changing in Ghana. I'm I British born Ghanaian. As for the accent of born and breed Ghanaians do not let that fool you. You here them talking the slangs changing from Ghana, the south London to New York accents within one accent. My sister was telling me when she was in Ghana in December 2015 she was by the poolside ordering drinks and the guy serving her had a strong American accent. So she asked him if he lived in America before he told her that he has never travelled outside Ghana so she asked him about his accent and he said that he watches a lot of American movies so he can learn to accent 😂.
Ghana is always home, if your like me born to Ghanaian parents aboard or like my mum who has lived outside Ghana longer than she dud in Ghana (35+) Ghana is always home.
Yeah, but no one understands your accent!
I really enjoyed this video. I laughed so much, you all are funny :)
You all did a very good job in giving us the "secret" insights that we wonder about...how you get by and react.
Signed: 19% Ghanaian
this awsome I love how you all are like family .. and I don't even know you. this was a great video. I did not watch till the end, but I enjoyed it. this made me laugh.
Love this. you should visit Miami Dade county and get real mangoes . I am from Jamaica and we call avocado pair also. many Jamaicans live in South Florida because the weather is compatible (like in Ghana). we grow our own fruits and they taste and smell real. I really enjoyed your discussion. Be blessed
Thank you for your input and giving me a more enlightened perspective of Nigerian life versus American life through your eyes. The fact that you have come to America shows that there is some semblance of respect and honor to what we have come to know as home. Surely it is not perfect but it has some redeemable qualities that all races can still take advantage of because of the blessings of Abraham. I chimed in because I recently became aware that I am 36% Nigerian!!! I intend to now, God willing see go there with somewhat of a better cultural perspective. Thanks again
A touch of heaven, thanks for sharing the video! Hoping to visit Ghana one day soon to get some rest from America. I have no peace of mind here in america. So as a so called "blackman" it gives me hope to see people who look like me, speaking of a peace of mind that I have never experienced. EVER!!!!!
Please forgive us for any mis-treatment you may have experienced from the so called "black" community. There is a very deep brainwashing over us because of obvious reasons and the dysfunction is at a high level. We are all going to be very important for each other here in the near future, so we have to keep seeking truth. Anyways blessings to you all, and there is nothing here in america, and things are not going to get any better.
Here I come Mother-Land and the Land Of Our Forefathers. Make room for me!!!!!
This is funny. I can't wait to visit Ghana and see how nice it is there. By the way these people talk, it must be AMAZING. If NYC is disappointing, the cities in Ghana must be fantastic. I'll update this after I visit. (Today is 16 June 2017.)
40 years ago. it was normal for a neighbor to punish you for doing wrong. Then tell your mother or father and you would get punished again. Then it changed. It came from very high places in the system. Many people want the old fashion way but those times are over.
If they are not happy in America, they can leave. No where is perfect. I have met people from different countries n most are nice. Especially people from the West Indies n Cuba. I use to have neighbors from Africa. They spoke French a lot but they spoke English. They were very nice. The wife n kids moved back to New York. The husband/father stayed sever months then he moved. He asked me if I cooked turkey n dressing n potatoe salad n I said yes. It was Thanksgiving Day. I gave him n his friend two dinner plates n they told me it was very good. I like it because the young man was very respectful. I'm old enough to be his mom. Peace n happiness to all.
I enjoyed listening to yall. I haven't had the pleasure of visiting Africa yet.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 omgoodness!!! I loved the video
Masere d3maaaaa❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was delightful...
If I want fast speaking English go to Brooklyn NY. Your head will spin..lol...When I taught English in Asia, they really appreciated my slow speaking. So did I bc I tell my cousins to slow down geez.😕 And oh I lives the African young ppl in NY public schools. They're humble, respectable and they work hard and do their best.
Thanks for the insight.
i really enjoyed the video and everything you guys said is true
awww.... nice work! More Twi please :)
Ghanaian women are really pretty
You are gorgeous!
@@TeaTimeWithBev thank you!
I'm afraid of not being able to laugh anymore. whats life going to become, once we don't have anymore.... heroes. we don't know what the next man is going thru. i wish i could say it in a plainer way. we don't know in life there's a Robin Williams. we got to laugh the pain away. -Cee lo Green "robin williams" point is life is what you make it. I'll make mine in Africa
my Ghanaian crew. I miss yall!
Hey guys u are doing good,n u guys are all speaking the truth,keep it up,well done
I like this. Your joy resonates.
Your video is interested. Many things you've said and pointed out can be said by Americans who live in different sections of the US. I'm from California now living in the south. Sometimes I don't understand southern accents and it's English. If Northeast accents and pronunciations are different from the West Coast. This is true in all countries. My husband is from Ghana so we laugh about this always because sometimes I don't know what he is saying (LOL). I don't take this video as condemning American, just telling of your experiences. Thanks for the video.
+frmoak2atl Thank you for watching :)
Nice. You guys are so real. Very funny experiences and I can sure relate.
Thank you for your thoughts, I really enjoyed listening. Lol! I am a Black American from New Jersey and want to visit Ghana, can you give me some advice?
Thank you for watching! Before traveling to Ghana, you will need a passport and a visa. Set up a budget and with any place that you travel to in the world, you must always be cautious and aware of your surroundings and what is going on.
You guys are a great family and you funny too...
I think your experience is based more so off where you all moved to in America. I was born and raised in the south. We grew up in close nit communities. All of our neighbors and teachers disciplined us. We played outside all the time. We were raised to be respectful, hospitable, and helpful to others. I moved to Chicago for a while and hated it. The attitudes of people were difficult for me to deal with. It's different depending on where you go.
Grace Clark
they need to go back to Africa
Im in Chicago..it's not easy😂😁
Oh my goodness, I never knew that U.S.A are still racist until I read yahoo news concerns one black girl that went to restaurant to eat and they rejected her...
oh that's ridiculous!!!
Well that's not the matter I am here , I just want to say that I really likes this video you guy's did .
I'm gonna say my story here , I love Ghana right from childhood, my dad from "Biafra Igbo " in Nigeria, I do not know if you guy's knew this east south in Nigeria. mean while my sister's and I, an orphan, since 1998 , I was 9 years old when My Mum dead , but I came to Europe when I was 18 years old with my ex boyfriend before he left me, well many years later I was 24years old I married to an European man , I just decided to disown my father country , forget about it and makes my New country Ghana .. do you know why ? because we're like "No man country" everyone rejected us in my fathers country without no caring since we were little, now I grew up .. I just made my decisions.. and I have a best family friend here in Europe, he is like my senior brother because he treats me like a sister, he's from Ghana Accra , this is also why I made this decisions and my man agreed with my idea...
I had found a land to buy close to Accra Ghana , in fact my idea is ok ...😊..
You guy's made my night..
+Sandra Anthony Thank you for watching and thank you for sharing your story. I wish you all the best :)
😃👍👌
GHANA HAS RACISM AGAINST THE POOR, THEY TREAT THOSE WHO DONT SPEAK ENGLISH WELL, WHO DONT HAVE MONEY WELL, LIKE SHIT
That's classism not racism
Thank you for sharing this candid conversation..
I love to hear your perspective I have friends from Ghana 🇬🇭 I want to visit so bad.
if you live in the south "the country" all the kids go outside to play and they're mostly family.
right. I'm from South Carolina and when they were talking about the foods such as, canned yams I was so lost. In the south we cook really rich
Hello, loved your video.
It has happened again and again lately that I have heard Africans speak of being treated badly by African Americans and pondering why.
I feel no one ever points out to them that in all or mostly Black area's in the US. that often tend to be poor and less educated to be quite frank alot of the kids are just plain mean period.
As an African American kid I learned you have to be tough stand up for yourself and fight back or some other African American kids will push you around and ridicule you.
There is alot of bullying that goes on in schools here and it's not just directed towards African kids. It's directed towards anybody that's different.
Alot of African American kids even get picked on bullied and teased if they don't fit in. I went to a school that had no African kids but I saw other Black American and some White kids picked on bullied and harassed if they were too different or quite or weak.
You probably don't see it as much among Whites because the Whites you are around are wealthier and better educated. Young people from better educated and middle class Black families tend to be nicer as well.
But I've heard stories of some poor White neighborhoods where the kids are very mean and rough. Poor White neighborhoods in America are somewhat rare though.
Sorry you went through that but I don't think it's as much anything to do with African Americans in general not liking Africans as much as just a bullying problem with young poor Black kids in general. Some of them possess a lot of anger.
Well the African american history will explain the anger and hate. Please do not stay in america. If you're just there for school or business then fine. But don't live there, make sure you educate yourself about the African American history.
GOOD YOU ARE NOT HERE, BUT YOUR ON AN AMERICAN PLATFORM
DONT LIVE IN AMERICA AND PLEASE STOP USING AMERICA COMPANIES, TH-cam, GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM IS ALL AMERICAN MADE AND WHY ARE YOU ON IT?????? GHANA DONT OFFER SUCH A THING
Kahlem Looney
Relax brother relax. Dont stir things up
it's how you carry yourself if you don't hang around rathect people regardless of the race and mind your own business you will be ok it depends where you live I'm sure a person from Africa not going to move all the way to America to stay in the getto if they do they minus well stay home you come to America with business on your mind and you will be fine it's plenty of people from Africa over here and they doing good and nothing never happened to them and they been over here ten or more years it's where you at and how you carry yourself if you get involved with bad people then of course you will have trouble that's any country you go too and quit looking at TV and the news and social media so much because that's all they show is the bad side of America it's good and bad everywhere
Especially "Bronx" Lmboooooo😂😂😂....hey I live in the Bronx, its changing a whole lot tho 😊👌
I think for Africans moving somewhere rural like the south and southwest is better for transitioning then to move to a big city like New York. The weather and open space and culture ! Cheaper cost of living is a little easier and better then New York..
Yeah but rascism is their . so its still a lose
Do you feel the same about living here in America after everything that's been going on lately in America.
Interesting. I learned much. Enjoyed the conversation.
This so funny especially the gas can part. Love it
Hi I found this very interesting, the culture and everything in Ghana
Most Africans first stop in the U.S is New York or somewhere up north. Advice to Africans coming to the U.S...come to Texas! You wont be disappointed!
I enjoy watching and listening to you all. We need some fufu and some of your other foods in America Especially the fresh fruits and vegetables
What about a restaurant?
Or maybe even a market just a thought
I anticipated your comment about Imtra-racism. I participated in a conference about intra-racism and a Haitian lady explained her poor treatment by African American girls. She stated that she transferred to a mostly white school and the white kids were nice to her but mean to the white Cuban kids. The harassment of foreigners isn’t a black thing as much as it’s a human thing based in cultural differences. It’s probably more tribal than racial but wrong all the same.
Ghana residential areas are very nice and attractive, so Ghana is not all that bad.
the FOOD alone tells You AND Me the whole story!!
#YourFoodIsYourMedicine
I'm from Angola I find your shows documentary very nice.
Thank you for watching :)
I'm in ohio thinking about ghana
Please go. And take your shit with you. You will be happier, and so will WE.
You guys are AMAZING
soo cool...cant stop laughing..everything you guys said is soo true
The question should be why did you come to America? If ghana is great why come to the USA?
quick money! Its all about the money!
nicolz lami So Ghana is not so great. The white man has a system in place for you to make quick money. And the blacks in Ghana can't seem to make that happen. Just as long as you are clear on that.
yes so what was the white man doing in Africa if his country was so great? We've come for what they've took. Like they did we are using their country to build ours. It's called karma and payback. We building big houses back home.
Mike Marson Thanks for clarifying your inferiority.
right, why do they come? ?
LOL. I'm from the Eastside of Detroit, and I feel like that every time I go back home. :D :D
kids play together in the country and suburbs. Not in New York. It's a city. But go down south or in a country town. It's really different. The black Americans were told a lot of lies about the mentality of Africans and how they feel about African Americans. And the white people that smiled with you were not really on your side. The system is still very racist against blacks.
I like the idea of i care for my brother. That's dope.
what a wonderful group of people
The accents are difficult to understand, but the people are charming. Best wishes to you all., I know you will all do well.
Best wishes to you too. Happy New Year!!
oHIO IS THE BEST COLUMBUS OHIO HAS A LOOOOOOOT OF GHANAIANS
Derrick Thompson what area in columbus can you find a lot of ghanaians?
We're proud to be Ghanaians😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤🍾🍾🍾🍾
Furthermore, people that are coming to America should take in account that every place has nice areas and not so nice. Good people and bad people.
This country is large. Each region will give you a different experience and way of life.
Grace Clark
bad areas in America are like first class in Ghana
You can always go back to Ghana if this is not an ideal country for you guys. The opportunity you get here, you will not have if you still lived in Ghana. You immigrate here not to visit. Good video though
that's right if it's a bad place and the food isn't good why did you stay there .Hmmmm
it used to be that way here in America but they've changed now
I'm sorry but family or not please don't just show up to my home. In America that is rude.
my best advise to you is to contact the Americans who have already repatriated to Ghana. They can translate leaving in the USA with that of Ghana better for you.
best
You got that right!! I'm African american who is moving to Ghana and I have nothing good to say about america. NOTHING
Good video. I love being there.
when i went to ghana i was called obroni 4 times in one day even by children. in america i'm black with both parents dark skin so ghanaians understand racism.
+Dreams and Promises, Obroni means a white person/Foreigner. You can be black and be referred to as Obroni. I'm Ghanaian, born and raised in Ghana and due to the fact that I've lived in the USA for a long time, a few people calls me Obroni because my culture is missed American culture, thus, one may refer to you as Obroni because your ways/culture is different from them.
akabajada777 .. I've been told by many that it means foreigner and white man because of the conflict with white people in pre colonial times on Ghanaian soil. some soften the blow by saying it means stranger but either way it always came with a giggle after being said. it may be said playfully but they definitely mark the difference between west African and non.
Dreams and Promises
Okay let me educate you a lil bit "me nua😜" "Obroni" doesn't mean bad or racist, it simply means a foreigner or immigrant then you add where the migrant is from or the color to differentiate if needed. Hope that helps to understand so you don't get offended 😀
Obroni is not offensive at all....ids actually kind of a playful.....some people refer to all east asians as chinese...ids just a little lack of exposure....it doesnt have any malicious intent .....being a foreigner in Ghana can even afford you privileges that a citizen or local wont have access to.....😊😊😊😊😊😊...we tend to treat foreigners even better than ourselves
My friend if is not good come and stay in your country and stop talking too much look at your body and compare before you where in Ghana .will noises
The best place in the world is California. Even the poor areas are nice.
Was the lady who used to lived in Tunisia parents working at African development Bank?
+mamsie sackey No she does not work there.
First it disturbing to hear that people can think a country can be like Heaven. Even in places like Miami, Hawaii, California people work hard to achieve the status of life that seen on TV. Arriving to American with limited money you will live the same as Americans with limited money, as for food its a personal preferences.
My first impression of Ghana when I visit Kumasi and then Accra is very hot and undeveloped. Visiting Ghana made me thankful for everything I have in America. The one thing I wish black in American can incorporated is how there was no violence and how family is value especially marriage. The bribery is the most annoying and disrespectful behavior I have every witness and it acceptable. The black out, no Internet, the walking in that kind of heat OMG. I just didn't understand how people did it I was amaze. I visit the beach in Kumari extremely dirty and the smell oh my God it was awful. I really enjoy the rice and fish. Here in the states they have specialty stores that you can purchase same ingredients in Ghana so that Ghanaian living in the states can eat the food they was raise on. As a America there is absolutely no other place I would live, this counties was build off the back of African and the soil is soak with the blood and tears of my ancestors. It's will never Heaven but it also far from Hell. I wish you all the best since everyone have been here for many years now I guess America not that bad or you would have went back home.
barstarks too much stress in the advanced countries.
Your analysis is on point. No Country or a place is heaven - "heaven is what you make it and hell is what you go through" (Wu Tang). Black Americans have gone through holocaust and still continue to live through that legacy. I do not think they hate America it's just ambivalence due to their experience. It is difficult for one to hate the only Country they've ever known without a good reason.
One can never compare anywhere in Ghana to even Eastern Europe let alone USA.
The only reason I like Ghana is that's where am from, the Country is so backward I do not know where to begin. Town planning is non existent, endless police barriers to extort money from citizens, rule of law leaves so much to be desired. Anyone with links to government does what they like. You the citizen can not stand up to the security services. I love GH but it's far far away from even Eastern European stage of development. These kids do not know what they are talking about as they left GH before they even hit their teens. They never experienced the bribery, corruption, begging, pleading, indiscipline, open sewage, lack of roads and pavements etc. Kigali/ Rwanda is 100 times more, prettier, cleaner, organised and disciplined than Accra/Ghana.
How did you travel from Ghana to us? did you have to have passport?
Your language should be geared to the audience you want to reach. This African American is starved for such info You lost me towards the end when you switched to exclusively to your language but we are watching and starved for such information.
Please keep doing it. We are listening.
Right they should keep it in English
About the fruit, thats so true, it has no smell at all
I have friends in Ghana now that do not have food to eat they do not have proper Healthcare. There are no food banks in Ghana there is no emergency that will allow you in if you are sick if you do not pay your hospital bill they will detain you. People who do not appreciate the United States maybe you should find someplace else. the thing is amazing as these people that go hungry and Ghana and don't have the things that we have are still a proud people but they deserve better of a country that's rich and gold, Cocoa, and other things you talked about our government in America being corrupt check out Ghana. One of the reason for so much scamming coming out of this part of the world is because people have nothing I'm not saying it's all right to scam as a matter of fact I think it's a downright damn shame that people do this. But people are desperate in Ghana the people who have things in Ghana and have money pay no attention to these people
