One of the most captivating videos . This guy is a bundle of energy,vision and stunning intellect, you won’t watch this video and not admire Kojo North’s vision for the future for Ghana and the youth. Giving hope 🇬🇭
Totally agree :)
He is. All these videos help me to figure out what I can create for myself. I want to leave NYC to move to Ghana or S Africa. I plan to visit this year
Love this cat. Like I usually say, someday the children we had overseas will be the ones to lead us back home.
Kojo was literally dripped in sweat by the end, that’s a man with purpose and passion!
Its just really hot in Ghana mate
@YTA, Ghana is hot.
Your comment is funny. he’s so passionate and it’s beautiful to see
what a great guy ! imagine having this focus before settling and having kids. He will go far I wish him all the best!
This is the reason why I’m proud of her. If you notice - all her outfits are predominantly African - her hair - natural african, her face everything odds natural. This woman is a silent warrior - a role model for the younger generation.
This is what the fight for the betterment of our continent looks like.
Kudos.
Ps that last video - gentrification - got me to finally hit the subscribe button.
That was excellent. We also want to see the struggles of our people so we can think of the solutions.
How hard was it to hit the subscribe button?
You’re literally watching her videos for free and she puts in all that hard work. If you watch more than five of her videos you should have subscribed
@@taytayshaniqua.8686 😀 you don’t get it. Do you?
@@taytayshaniqua.8686 😀 - That statement is entitled and ignorant don’t you think?
@@m77ast yours? Yeah
His soul called him back to Africa. My soul also calls me to Africa, however not without prep and planning. Me and my future husband and family shall be there at our earliest.
Looking good thus far. Africa has always been a dream destination.
Peace
Kojo is putting blood SWEAT and tears into this vision. Good luck to him
Young energetic 👌 enterprising and inspiring. UK 🇺🇬 UG love to Ghana
I have no idea how I ended up on this channel, but I'm really glad I did. I had no particular interest in Ghana, I barely knew Accra is the capital, but now all I can think about all day is Ghana, what an amazing country, I watch videos about Ghana everyday, it's like I'm on a geography assignment or something, I know there's a magnitude of data and shades of grey I will probably not grasp in this lifetime, but I really did develop a connection to this country thanks to you, Vanessa. My dream now is to visit Ghana and the Ivory Coast, not sure when that's gonna happen as my health hasn't been great as of late but I will focus my thoughts on this until I'm able to manifest! Much love from a Brazilian lady :-)
God grant you good health to live to see your dreams & aspirations come true. All the very best!
We love you.
Love Kojo’s energy. I wish him all the best. Thanks for showcasing him Vanessa
Very intelligent young man.
Kojo" my soul needs me here." (AFRICA Ghana 🇬🇭 to be precise.) He is a SERIAL Entrepreneur, Visionary Leader and a true son of our beautiful Motherland AFRICA. Thanks for being who you were created to be.😊😊😊🤎
The construction is spectacular. A real eye-catcher.
I have been saying this to so many young people of African background in the Netherlands that the future is in Africa.
This guy has a lot going on...he's using his talents to help the Ghana people and the economy...I am somewhat jealous and it's not because he still has an afro 👨🏽🦲 😂. I love the fact that he keeps his parents in mind in what he is doing...when you honor your father and your mother, it's inevitable that you will be blessed. My wife and I are in the planning stages of moving and my son plans to move once he has established his career...so Mr Kojo please hold the fort until we get there...lol
Such a lovely guy, God bless him and all his ventures. His genuine heart will take him far 💜
The day I move back to Ghana logistically... God willing...I will first visit my home town where I was raised till around the age of six years old. Tutika Obuasi pay my my respects to my Grandmother and my ancestors..and thank God for the miracle he allowed me to achieve despite all the odds against..because of evil....thank you for this inspiring video..
Thought this was Damson Idris from SnowFall.
Great video Vanessa. Kojo, I love your idea about the tech company. The call home is happening for many of us. Your both an inspiration and motivation for others. Keep doing what your doing. "Africa for the Africans, those at home and us abroad, born and unborn"
His parents would be really proud. More young diaspora born African children need to come back home. NOW.
It's obvious that he is very talented. He is also fortunate to boot. The fact is that his father handed over to him two major assets, which gives him a headstart. Some of us had to grind to secure what we have. My father never gave me any property. I pulled myself by my boot straps to own the two properties that I have since returning to Ghana from the States, after living there for 30 years. More grease to his elbows though.
God created Vanessa for this purpose. You are really a God sent. We all love you. My children are watching you guys and are very proud Africans. They just love coming to Africa. I believe they will settle in Ghana and contribute to her well being.
Yoo my people, it's Kojo North!
Thank you for the comments, thank you for watching, thank you for your time & attention.
I was extremely nervous to meet with Vanessa, I've never spoken on such a large platform before, luckily it turned out to be fun.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED WATCHING ME SWEAT! 😂

You the young ones bring so much joy to me. The future of Africa is bright. My prayer is the good Lord will continue to keep you all.❤️
His voice will be amazing on radio
I just love when they come and fall in love with the country ❤️
We need more of people like Vanessa and this guy in this country
Y'all need to come home....i mean HOME 🇬🇭
Kojooo is an amazing and inspirational young man, I follow his Chanel and love his content, keep it up.
8:21 hydroponic vertical garden inside and real garden our side. 11:14 Some styrofoam insulation will be cool to fix under that corrugated tin roof to reduce head before it reaches the ceiling. so the air-condition don't have to struggle with extra overhead heat
I can't wait to see the finished house.
Inspirational gentleman. Well done Vanessa. I'm wanting to build my retirement home in jamaica and I'm having difficulty before a block is even laid. Lord help me. 👏🏾👊🏾🇯🇲🇬🇧
Please come to the Motherland 🇬🇭 😊
@@dannyangels313 🤔😀
Kojo North!! Just love this guy!
Ambitious AFRICAN man💪
The time is now, keep up with the energy.
God bless your dreams Kojo, Vanessa I'll also appreciate you for promoting Ghana.
Great interview! I could feel Kojo’s passion for Ghana’ growth. I can foresee him doing great things in the future.
Smart guy kojo 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭✅
Wooow I like how this brother paints the picture. Very articulate just like president Obama
Vanessa this is so amazing. You've brought an amazing dude. He's got some good ideas.
Amazing stuff, just subscribed to kojo North channel....💕🇬🇭🇬🇧
Love the energy he brings off, great video Vanessa! This is only the beginning 🇬🇭
Thanks for the inspiration Kojo, just a matter of time and we are coming back home.
Beautiful and Inspiring! This is my constant reminder of what my spirit keeps communicating to me ! I have to make my way to Ghana 🙏🏾
Yes. When are you coming?
Togo are the best. They are incredible. My builder is from Togo as well. They grow up as apprentices. So they become very good.
You can’t say that. It is only that they have moved in droves to Ghana and are more aggressive in seeking contracts.
I love the intervuew with this guy 👍 he can express well him self
Great video Vanessa! So inspiring! Great architecture and great ideas too!
This is the kind of individual and mindset that Ghana needs .Not those come with ulterior motives ,to exploit Ghana for their own riches.
This guy is a gentleman
Chai young man with great ideas that will make impact. Great content. Abdul Omo9ja
Kojo North in the Building!!!❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
I really appreciate this video both characters are amazing. Vanessa, you are different. This man is undescribable
Excellent potential from an eloquent young man! Wishing him great success
This was so lovely to watch!! Wish Kojo all the best
Wow! He is doing so many things at the same time. But it's a great work, creating jobs and needed living space. Thank God for the children who have good heads on their shoulder.
Bravo! Your parents raised you well.
💯well done
That's an amazing story and one of the most inspirational videos so far. Thanks Vanessa and Kojo for this revelation.
Great and love what you are bringing to young Africans, albeit the Ghanian’s youth, Vanessa. Your Dad should be proud of you. I am too.
As regards the building, I think a modern design/aesthetic burglary bars on the windows would make a lot of difference and enhances the curb appeal. The current existing design (painted white) really takes away from the building. He should consider replacing them.
He needs to add some (metal) railings (to approx 42in high) to the top floor balcony/patio where he was talking to Vanessa, because the concrete railing is too low. The bottom of the concrete railing also needs inserted railing too, to prevent a child sliding underneath and fall.
Very proud of you!
Wonderful ideas for yourself and your country. Also bringing some of your parents dreams to reality. Great video gives one hope for the future. Wishing you joy peace and love. Go and rock the world. Peace!
Kojo North is something else.....too great n mature ....bless you, ur decision is divine ❤🙏 thx Vannesa
Vanessa thank you for the great work you are doing. It is so inspiring. Being mixed race in Italy is not easy, unfortunately all my life I have felt miss placed. In July I graduate from university, I will become a medical doctor. I'm dreaming of going back to my half roots. Your content makes me believe that it is possible. Seeing such talented and courageous examples is groundbreaking
Have you ever visited before?
Where are your half roots…Ghana? I’m generationally mixed race but my grandparents’ roots are Caribbean and south American so don’t have an actual country in Africa to lay claim to so I’m exploring for now but will one day move to there. Don’t know how I’ll do it, my job in software development could perhaps allow me to move to Africa but not sure. I also want a home in the Caribbean…so many decisions
Nice living in Ghana and meeting new neighbors and new surroundings. Big like. Tnx4sharing full watched 👍🏻
Thanks for an inspiring video. Love Kojo North, his passion and vision. An inspiration for young and old alike.
Well done Kojo! Great interview. Just subscribed to Kojo’s channel.
Humble and kind.
Thanks Vanessa for the introduction. I will be coming to Ghana soon to start a farm. By Gods grace we will meet.
Wishing you all the best and every success.
When are you coming?
@@nasto4u850 to be honest - I’m already there because I started a construction project early this year. However in terms of physically coming down. Off and on this year and next year should be more often.
Since 14 years of age I have been planning how to come to Africa to create industries, jobs, training and development opportunities especially for our young as well as our disadvantaged people .
I started a social enterprise here in the U.K. a few years ago to setup a blueprint of how the whole thing will work.
When I come I don’t want to waste any time - so I need to put some foundations in place first 😀
Blessings.
@@m77ast can we link up?
@@m77ast do you have a social media handle?
@@nasto4u850 I’m not on social media. Sorry but e we can definitely link up. Are you in Ghana.
Your such a happy person

My guy makin me sweat just lookin at um - what I’ll say was aside the nervousness he did an amazing job and he’s very articulate and has a lot to offer so I’m sure have an amazing career in coaching 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What a unique architectural design…kind of like a ship. Is this close to the coast? Like this man’s passion…he’ll make it major, no doubt
He’s Awesome!
Need more videos like that! It’s very captivating when someone’s really interested by what his doing ! 🔥
To get the correct labourers you need to find work that has been done well and ask. Our Labourers on my project in Nigeria are fantastic.
That is sharp. I just subscribed to his channel. Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
Fantastic video, your content is always amazing.
Very smart guy. I pray it all works out for you
