I was one of the guys who help Kevin to discover the oil when I was working with STENA FORTH DRILLSHIP . Honestly he invested a lot in that and he inspired me a lot anytime he comes on board ship and talk to us. After discovering that huge oil for him and his company (Springfield Ghana) in 2019 he gave all the crew $200 safety bonus every 28days cos he cared a lot about our safety too . All crew on board ship from over 12-15 countries around the world ( both black &whites ) about 200 crew on board that time . Kudos my Mentor ✌🏽✌🏽greetings frm United States big brother. I’ve discovered a lotta nice opportunities on the motherland when I traveled outside and have a broad look back home honestly I will be back and make it happen no matter what..! Our mother Ghana 🇬🇭 and Africa as a whole is so Rich.
Chris, let's catch up. Wanna know more about what you are currently doing and explore what we could do together.
U did a great job brother..keep helping the rest God ur improviser
A General once said "Take care of your boys and your boys will take care of you".

“I always had that feeling that my money is coming. It’s just a matter of time “ - Kevin Okyere 💎💎💎
Thats a gem right there
African businessman & in particular Ghanaian businessman have business savvy as a Ghanaian iam very proud of my brother Ghana 🇬🇭 all the way to the top & Africa all the way, you should interview Mcdan mckorley, Nicholas amarteifio, sam jonah, kate quartey papafio,
Kevin dropped so many gems!! We gotta believe in ourselves and help each other, that’s the only way we can all get to that next level
Most mines and oil fields in Africa are not owned by locals.
Great interview. Thank you for providing a platform for us as black people to link up, connect and learn. It is an answer to opportunities and knowledge that was denied to us particularly in the area of economics, enterprise development and financial management among others. IT WORKS TOWARDS SOLVING THAT PROBLEM!!!
Great to see our brother representing the motherland 🇬🇭🇬🇭
1st 10 - 15 mins probably the strongest content and information you guys have provided.
1. Believe in yourself
2. Take "risks"
3. Self doubt/ we put self limitations.
Chills...... chills....
Respect for mentioning his friend who just passed. He is keeping her memories alive. May her soul rest in perfect Peace. May God comfort him and may God console her loved ones.
His mindset is everything!!!!!!
Also coming from a wealthy family helps
@@zeezydoesit7416he didn't come from wealthy family
"Ghana is the gateway for Africa". I am so elated to find such persistence and genius in this young man and a prayer warrior at that!
This multi billionaire spoke for over 30 minutes and not a single swear word came out of his mouth. Must respect to you sir 🫡✊🏾
Swearing in Africa is a big deal. No need to swear.
@@homodeus8713thank you
Tell Andrew Tate that it's possible to talk without swearing
@@emmanuelcalpymbella657tate is king of cussing😂😂😂
Limited thinking in African leadership means that we are iced out of opportunities in our own countries and our own Continent. This audience does not seem to fully appreciate what this man has achieved. Kevin is right, poverty consciousness is so widespread in Africans and they think there is not enough for everyone. There is a difference between being broke and being poor - great to hear Kevin! Thank you for having him on.
Wow... This is deep😊
Proudly Ghanaian 🇬🇭
Go higher bro 💪✌️
Proud to say I was there and saw this episode LIVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have not even gotten the laws for Ghanaians to dig their own oil, it says a lot about how our governments in Africa think of us, wow
There is a reason why big assets bin Africa are foreign owned, Africans tend to focus on small stuff.
@@briopalumpus8676
That’s like saying, Africans don’t care about beauty in buildings, in the environment etc. until Rwanda shows up. Do we tend to focus on small stuff or does someone want us to focus on small stuff
@@watulukamedia6724 what I meant by small stuff is Africans focus on safe assets such as agriculture, real estate et.c when was the last time an African owned a major mine in Ghana forget the galamsey rubbish, the best some Africans do is contract for the mining houses. Like John mahanas brother . They should be bold to stake big claims in strategic industries, for instance local enterprises should team up with relevant groups and transform Ghana lithium into batteries.
Thank you for sharing. Excellent information. Please consider having Wode Maya as a guest. Dude is brilliant.
Ok Troy, wit the African sandals👀👏🏽. Nice to see an American brother letting his toes free; I’m sure they’re also well-manicured! You fellas look nice & comfy!
Excellent guest, Mr Kevin Okyere!! I’ve never heard of him until now, but what a beautiful reminder! Thanking God for the valuable info you guys bring to the black communities worldwide.
"Divide and conquer is really real" what Kevin said is true. We must absolutely change this it is really slow us down. The hope is that things are changing, most people understand now.
That belief in self...I think we all have it as children, just something in our environment kills it and many never recover. For others, something (or someone like parents) try to kill it but we refuse to let them. This was me! My brother and I grew up in the same broken household that would kill any child's dreams. He never recovered and has struggled in many ways his whole life. I refused to believe what we were told, ran away from home at 14 and have lived a life beyond my wildest dreams!
This is absolutely true!
Wow...I echo your sentiments and very happy for you! Bold move!
wow, this was great. I'd never heard of him before and he told the truth.
Akon said the same thing, he said "Africa is OPEN"....
MAN I CAME HERE LOOKIN FOR MARKET MONDAYS.. BUT THIS WAS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED & CONFIRMED SO MANY OF MY OWN BELIEFS.. GREAT INTERVIEW OG's 👍
The session with Kevin was the absolute highlight. Thank you for being so authentic, Kevin. As I work towards building #WEARGhana into Africa's most loved brand, your words and example will be a rich source of inspiration. Bless you!
2 Ps. Prayers and Persistence. Amen.
Top tier interview!! Thanks for sharing this footage from the Ghana leg of the world tour. Happy New Year!! 🎉🎉
WOW! look at the wealth in that continent! Thanks for this video! Definitely sharing this video!
Very inspirational and heartfelt conversation. Key points on not giving up on yourself and your ideas were very significant. Also loved closing words on living in the moment and enjoying your accomplishments. 💯🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I'm building my own products and passing it down.....done
Happy for you, AFRICAN Brothers... Now that God has blessed you, Now blessed others.... No one takes their money when life is gone out of the body, but the Full life appears ETERNAL in your SOUL.....Be Bless.... AFRICAN Brother. . GOD bless the MOTHER LAND AFRICA.....
Listen. EYL I am extremely appreciative of all of your content. You've done a lot in a few short years to educate the culture. But this interview right here? This is straight 🔥
There is no difference between us and Elon Musk. Believe in yourself. 🔥 🔥🔥🔥
Loved this..
It's interesting that many don't know how many applications are involved with water. Even in the US ,there's a full formation and application process to get approval to bring water to your neighborhood.
Crazy good episode! Chills on my neck watching this. EYL, you guys are huge for the culture! Introduced me to investing and much more. Much love and appreciation.
May God God bless you son, I wish you all the best, this is what I want all people with color I mean all brother,s and sister,s African Americans to go back home to Africa 🌍 to build and make Africa great. It has been too long other people who they don't have right to Africa they are taking what belong to Africa 🌍. All the best Mr Kevin ❤❤️❤️👏👏✅✅✅🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Inspiration interview of persistence and belief in self 🔥
Thank you for sharing and the inspiration.
The mental framework about overcoming this challenge v. getting x amount of money is a gem.
Thank you for sharing this interview. Very inspirational and helpful. Sending condolences 🙏🏾 to you as well, Kevin.
Powerful conversation! 🙌🏾
This is a huge deal. Thank you Kevin
Very inspiring
Thank you so much for this
I still don’t know how he got into the oil and gas business. That’s nearly impossible to do without getting lucky and knowing the right people
Corruption 😅😂
Big up to all of yall. Happy New Year 2024
I am Very inspire with thinking capacity of this great man ❤you
loved this enriching episode💎💎💎
When are you guys gonna touch down in South africa 🇿🇦
Thank you again for your weekly update. Love this idea! I just started investing in crypto and am a huge fan of blockchain technology.
Would love to be a part of this charity event and have the opportunity to spread awareness and resources to support those on the front lines!
You are right. All the others watch confused the heck out of me. Your videos are clear and understand, I really appreciate you taking your time explaining very well. Great teaching
Wow that's high praise. How does
this crypto, stock market, and xrp stuff work?
Excellent cryptonaire course! I now have a core understanding of trading & investing in cryptocurrencies. Thank you, Tiffany Silvia. She explained it all so in depth, even for the advanced users.
So no matter your experience, there's always something you can learn!
She's really amazing. I still can't believe that someone can be this exceptional when it comes to crypto activities.
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Rosslyn Howard) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
THANK YOU🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thank you very much for this episode‼️ Medase Paaaa‼️✊🏾🇬🇭
Peace and blessings

Woahhhh love this🔥🔥🔥
Imperative information
Africa is bless ❤❤❤Ghana 🇬🇭 first
Respect ❤
Ian's calf's got them pants fitting like spandex. Lol. Seriously tho, this is gold, and I want to look into African opportunities after watching this. Thank you
Real Gem 💎 that will be ignored. Black people with money don't want to see other brothers with potential get ahead. I WOULD ARGUE: Middle class and poor blacks do the same dam thing!! This is a sickness in our community that needs fixing!!!!!
Jealousy and envy aren't exclusive to black people. I have witnessed the crab in the bucket mentality among every nationality I have encountered. The goal is to surround ourselves with individuals who share our ambitions and goals for life. It's common for those closest to us, to be the most toxic. If a limb on a tree is dying, not cutting it will result in the destruction of the entire tree at some point. Oh yes, I keep my tree pruning tools sharp and ready to be put into service at a moments notice. 🤣
Yaaaaaasss
When Kevin mentioned prayer I didn't hear any hands. Tells you the world don't care about God as much as they care about success.....
Congratulations Mr. Kevin Okyere!!!
& My condolences to you.
Continued blessing 🙏🏿
❤❤❤ #everything

Inspiring content! Thanks for sharing
Sagrenti War happened between 1873 to 1874 between the Asantes and the British Empire. It consisted of battles. The great Chief Amanquatia was said to have been killed at the Battle of Amoaful which was a battle fought on 31 January 1874. The determination and generalship he displayed in the defense of Ashanti fully bore out his great reputation as an able tactician and gallant soldier.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
👊🏾
Great content, only problem was some of the edits yall made that took away some content. None the less way to close out 2023 and bring in 2024 #BlackOwnership
💯💯👌🏾
Believing in yourself makes you work with HOPE but GOD almighty is the GIVER . Do not confuse these… GOD the merciful gives you wealth to test you, so be grateful and do good with it!
I’m SOO glad he mentioned prayer; especially on a continent like Africa where ancestral beliefs & witchcraft practices are so prevalent. I just pray that his prayers are to the one true living God & Lord Jesus Christ.
I often wonder how God’s real followers are able to grow & thrive in such businesses where so much evil & devil worshipping to reach certain levels of success is happening behind the scenes with many of the people you have to work with.
Better than all the sinner over there😂😂😂😂😂
Shut up … my our ancestors follow .. is Jesus his ancestor please don’t use a white man to bless our African brothers please .. white will never kill himself for white
❤🙏
👏🏾👏🏾
Please please please please please please please please
Electricity Water Roads streets is the important at the moment please please start from one country
From hearing him talk it’s not exactly clear how we went about it to get started
Because he’s the son born in 1980 to an affluent family in Ghana’s gold-rich Ashanti region. His father had built a substantial fortune in construction, steel manufacturing and large-scale cocoa farming, before he was enstooled as a traditional chief. Most “businessmen” want to gatekeep and not let you look behind the curtain because they prob stumbled on the opportunity by sheer luck or a connection from his family
@@zeezydoesit7416 Sounds like a connection, sounds like he’s trying to make it seem like he worked as hard as everyone else to acquire the telecom deal and everything else that came after that. Not everyone can just walk into a bank and secure a meeting with the CEO and secure a 100k overdraft.
But hey, long as he’s doing the job and able to sustain the business. Not hating, just what i picked up from listening to him.
@@zeezydoesit7416makes a lot of sense.
Seek, pray and you shall find! It's the lessons of the journey that will open your eyes, mind and eventually the gold
Laaaawd!!
Too much editing
Dam should’ve catch the live
It's always a honor to have you here as a mentor, I appreciate you for the time being spent to educate us financially. Regardless of how bad it gets on the economy, I still make over $28K every single week. I truly value Cheryl Wilson and her helpful guides.
Well, Investment has been the easiest means to save and multiply income because money left for saving ends up used without returns.
Interesting!! you also trade with Cheryl? That woman has been a blessing to me and my family as well.

Bitcoin is the way of the future, and investing in it will be the smartest decision you can make, especially with its present Price.
GO (GMU) PATRIOTS!!!
Guys, clip on mics are not expensive.
Guys don't sleep on Africa. Go out there and make real money without stress.

Look up the 17 yr old intern who was drugged and had to go to the hospital for a backdoor invasion. She was threatened to stay quiet. I believe it happened.
We are to greedy once we figure it out!' Pass it down generational so you people don't have scratch!!!

DMV
You live in Dmv 🤷🏿♂️
To me I don't admire all this so call Ghanaian oil and gold millionaires,because their only after their own family legacy and individualistic business people Sam Jonas of Anglo gold in obuasi, they are all rich but they don't create jobs and the government doesn't benefits from them,
Who told you
DO NOT BELIEVE IN YOURSELF WE WERE TOLD ,BUT CLOSE YOUR EYES AND PRAY WITH ALL THE MINISTRIES AND PHYSICAL STRUCTURES STILL IN PLACE TILL DATE 🤣, DO NOT ASSIST YOUR STATE IMPOWERMENT IN ORDER TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR ALL, BUT SERVE THE WHATEVER IN OTHER TO ENTER THE KINGDOM AFTER YOU ARE GONE, YEAH RIGHT
Stop trying to keep the motivation just for yourself. We need to be generational!!! We tend to just about yourself what about your offspring!!!???
