I was thinking the same thing when I started listening to this. It's a web of deceit and illusion. I tell ppl I want to go home to Jamaica and I get the you are stupid look. We left real wealth in Jamaica as far as land, houses and self sufficiency to come here and get into debt and build the white man country. when we come here it's like we forget where we come from.
@Rashaenka that's not what I got from his comment. Listen and comprehend. Stop making idiotic statements. From the sound of your name you must be Indian. If that's the case you have no place here. Leave Africa and go back To India.
It’s so true. There is nothing in America. You can not save. I always advice my friends to work and enjoy their lives in Ghana but they think I don’t want them to come enjoy in the states.
stephen bishop oooh yeah. It’s better to get a roommate although it’s annoying, be a minimalist, save up as much as you can then move back home and set up a business. America is so stressful
My name is Njerakey and I am from Chad. I have been living in America (Maryland and Ohio) for 12 years. Everything this brother says is true and I am a living example of that. After staying in America for almost 13 years, I finally realized the illusion of the American dream at the age of 27. I am leaving for Africa at the end of this month. I don’t care what they say about Africa. My education would at least serve Africa instead of being second class in this miserable place. Africa is the place to be.
My dear Brother, I am happy that you didnot waste your life here loke so many other Africans who come to USA. You can Go Back home and help to build your community and teach the young people to realize that they don't need to leave the continent.
Find out what your country needs. Network with entrepreneurs who want to invest in Africa. How can Africans in the Diaspora help you to Build Chad and make it a better place? Use social media to network and market every resource that you can. Form a team. Use your natural resources and the brain power of your youth and the wisdom of your elders. You will succeed!! Keep the faith.❤❤❤
I'm glad Africans see how America really is. There are so many Americans who left America and went to Africa for peace. Like he said, Africans stay in Africa. It's not easy as you think.
America is far better than Africa in Africa you will be label as an immigrant and called a foreigner, it is not your home one is an immigrant or a foreigner in their own homeland, you are already home, it makes no senes to leave a fight only to fight someone else problems, your ancestors die right here in America.... watch this video and do some research on your own...How the American Indian became African American-- and watch---Black Indians shut down the street in New Orleans... don't believe the hype talk from Africans they would love to live in America.
@K-Daniels No Africa is your, so when you go you don't have to apply for citizenship and wait for five to ten years for it because no one is a foreigner or an immigrant in their own homeland, however as for black American we are not Africans and if we go to Africa we will not get automatic citizenship and yes we would be foreigners in Africa and always be immigrants in the land lol as for me I am an aborigine I have for grandmothers that die right here in America that once was called Turtle Island, I am a full-blooded Cherokee and very very proud.
@K-Daniels You are a proud jackass lol who don't know a damn thing, who won't do any research for yourself, I will continue to come on all the so-called pan African channels to get the message out to save a few from this brainwashing hype talk Africans got going on pursuing black American people to come and work and build up their rich country for their children and people the big question is why? and not investing a damn thing in you. out of all the other diaspora they are pursuing black American the most, what is the Africans real motive, why having they spoke on what they can do for black Americans and their children, they speak only of themselves and their own children future how blind can your type be, you can curse me out all day and call me all kinds of names I am not going anywhere, I will not leave a fight to go fight a fight where I will be label as a foreigner or an immigrant and not speak their languages, investing and buying leasing land that is already owned by a chief and his family and having to renew it at a set time is for a fool, lol only a blind fool will do that if Africa is so rich what the hell they need fools like you or black Americans for lol go ahead and fall for the okie dokie like your so-called African ancestors did and they got betrayed and sold into enslavement and got their land taken by the same descendant your dumbass is loving on lol go ahead and believe in their illousion, Trump said it best, if you don't learn from the past you will repeat the past...It is time for black Americans to stop building up other people's kingdom. SO GO AHEAD BROTHER CURSE ME OUT CALL ME NAMES THAT'S NOTHING NEW WE DON'T RESPECT ONE ANOTHER ANYWAY, WE FIGHT EACH TO DEFEND OTHERS, WE HAVE NO UNITY, WE RATHER HAVE UNITY WITH OTHERS, THAT'S THAT SLAVERY MENTAL ILLNESS WE WERE TAUGHT BY WILLIE LYNCH, NOTICE AN AFRICAN MAN WILL NEVER DISRESPECT HIS WOMAN OR ANY OTHER RACE OF MEN AS FOR US WE TREAT EACH OTHER LIKE ANIMALS AND TALK TO ONE OTHER LIKE DOGS...
@@aborigineone2377 You sound stupid and ignorant,we have African Americans in Namibia,and zambia we are living happily with them, idont know what you're talking about
@@thatlchiponda3368 You are stupid and Ignorant, fro Americans are living as foreigners and immigrants in your continent it is not their home, they should be careful,
Black British and making £16,000 per month as an actuary contractor. Also have businesses in Ghana including a real estate business and an escort agency. All together I'm making more than £40,000 monthly. My dream is to make one million pounds per week.
I am also in Massachusetts and spoke to a young brother from Ghana who is also going through it. As a ADOS i am gonna try to guide the young brother while he is here and he will be my guide when I go to Ghana. We have to come together and sharpen each other up.
This is an amazing video. I live in New York, and yesterday, I went to conduct business at the Bank. There, I met an Italian man in his 40's. He was depressed and very sad. I struck up a conversation with him. He told me he's been living here in New York for 11 years now. He left Italy for the American dream. He told me, 11 years after he left Italy, he is still unable to save money. So, he was at the bank to close his account. He said he already packed his things and is leaving on Monday, back to Italy. He also told me that he got an eviction notice, together with a lot of other tenants in his apartment building, and that was the final straw. There is no way out, other than moving back to his homeland. It was a sad story to listen to, and there are millions of others like him. Homelessness will skyrocket in the near future here in America. Africa is the future, and once all Africans in the diaspora move back(including myself), Africa will be unstoppable.
The problem is everyone overseas think New York is all there is in the U.S. The days of going to NY (or L.A. and Chicago) and making it big have been over for decades. I have known of African immigrants going instead to places like Houston (lots of Nigerians there), the Twin Cities, Des Moines, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Dallas, etc...places where you can get a good job with reasonable cost. They get educated and end up making 6-figures living in big homes and driving nice cars.
@@patrisio3, those places are definitely much cheaper than living in New York. Even many cities in Georgia are very cheap. You can get a mansion I'm those cities for what you will pay for a 1 bedroom apartment in NYC. But, I'm ready to give up all of them, even the cheaper states, so live in Africa. I own a very good business here in New York, but Africa has been calling me for some time now. I think it's time to amswer that call, and forget the country that I'm not wanted in.
For someone with only a high school diploma it sounds like he was doing well. He's not going to discourage anyone from leaving Africa for abroad by saying how easy it was for him to get jobs. If he had enought money to build a six bed room home then he definitely had enough to return to Ghana if he truly wanted to. The healthcare issue is also a valid one. I have an older Nigerian co-worker who'se brother has health issues, but they want let him return to Nigeria because they know he won't get good treatment there.
You can make money in the US or Canada but it requires careful planning, dedication, sacrifice and plenty of luck. If luck's not on your side you can find yourself in a really bad situation. I know many immigrants who gave up good jobs in their home countries and cannot get back home now after falling for the false American dream.
Unless someone kneels on ur neck until you can't breathe...Are you serious? Whatever you think you have achieved, if they will mistreat your brother you'll be next. Besides Mystery Babylon is about to fall anyway. You're not so smart if you can't see the handwriting on the wall. Africa is the future, Euros, Chynese, know it for sure. They're coming to Africa, not America.
Yes, You can make money in America if you are not living above your means. Buy DEFLATED house like I did through foreclosure.I am a Nigerian American, 45 years old, my house is paid off here in USA. Anyone can do it with frugal lifestyle. I on my pay my property tax which is $3,000 a year. Cheaper than rent. This pandemic is wake up call. I am planning to start building my retirement home in Nigeria and start sending money to Nigeria to put away.
He’s speaking all facts, and it’s even harder being Black in America. My Husband is from Nigeria and has realized the same thing. It’s depressing. Black people have to work twice as hard. That’s why when others say Blacks are lazy I frown because no one realizes we are crippled and like second class citizens if that.
Yap, these westerners don’t have nothing. The go Africa and take our blessings of nature, bring them to their countries to beautify theirs and live luxuries because our leaders are so greedy, evil and dumb.
Yeah, so rich until they're allowing themselves to be robbed of its natural resources. Their own people can't enjoy it. Tell the Europeans and Chinese we said hello. In a few more years, they will completely own Africa. Hell, they're already controlling it. 🤣
America is far better than Africa in Africa you will be label as an immigrant and called a foreigner, it is not your home one is an immigrant or a foreigner in their own homeland, you are already home, it makes no senes to leave a fight only to fight someone else problems, your ancestors die right here in America.... watch this video and do some research on your own...How the American Indian became African American-- and watch---Black Indians shut down the street in New Orleans... don't believe the hype talk from Africans they would love to live in America.
It’s not paradise. Don’t be deceived. It’s only paradise if you are well connected of if you have a wealthy African family. Most African countries have a 60% poverty rate with no institutions due to corruption, bad government, etc.
I know many who have been there for 20+ years, they come back home with only their clothes and an American accent. They never invested back home, at least he built a 6 bedroom house.
@Rashaenka second hand clothes often sold spread on the ground, and the buyer has to bend down to pick his choice, hence the name 'bend down boutique' lol
I am going to be honest as someone who lived in the US all my life 26 years old, many immigrants especially from the motherland come here at a older age with no skills and if you did have a career back home you will have to start all over again. Their is no high paying job waiting for you here in America unless you are young and willing to go to University and get a education or a skill trade. If you want to come here , come with a plan and a skillset you will get paid with. If you come here with no skills the best you will do is low-wage work. This the truth from a American, this is my warning to the disapora.
This is the most genuine comment. A lot of people complain about their struggles but fail to mention that they are uneducated and have nothing to offer to America. If you have skill set and highly educated, there’s LOTS of money here in America t9 be made. I’m a Nigerian but not proud to be a Nigerian because Nigeria has nothing to offer me and I have no future in NIGERIA. Thank God I became an American citizen with a skill set as a Physician Assistant making 200000$ a year at only 27. I’m a proud American.
As you have rightly said 'lived in America all your life', which automatically makes you have an American citizenship either by birth or a different way. A path was paved for you to have that 'privilege' that enables you to educate yourself and be in a better position. Our parents didn't have that opportunity, therefore their mindset was survival and once you're in that circle its hard to find that balance to re-educate yourself. We the millennial have a different mindset, where opportunities are endless. Therefore I find your comment a bit insensitive to say they don't add value. We need to paint the right picture for others back home that only see prosperity abroad, starting a new life abroad isn't always rosy, being illegal isn't something promote to either.
Brother, I grew up in the states, got a degree, worked in corporate made good money, then realized that this system is a trap. I sold everything I got myself and my family out of there for the very reasons this big brother is sharinf: America is not a place for Africans because instead of building our continent, we are building this capitalism oligarchy. Then we complain about underdevelopment in our home land. It's time to take our talent back to mama Africa (like LeBron)
I really don’t understand why he moved here in the first place if he had a business in Africa. That makes no sense at all. He should have done dual citizenship. Or tested America out for 1-2 before moving permanently.. do your research and due diligence first before up and leaving.
Allure of what we see on the tv of what america is is what makes some Africans yearn to go to US,I have an immediate neighbour,he is 32 years now,got the green card around 2012 there,went to the US but he didnt finish even 1 year in the states before coming back home to kenya. He told us America is hell hole,now he is back into farming and he is doing good.
Yea you always have to do your research instead doing something and when it doesn’t work out for you bash an entire country.Amercia has its faults but I was able to save and invest
I feel for this gentleman, he fell for the American dream of materialistic consumption. Working hard to buy things you don't need and all the money you give back to the rich. It is never too late to wake up I wish him all the luck
Spit the truth brother . Don’t get me wrong Africa is not perfect but if you are already doing well please please stay!!! If you are not and it serious come to the west have a plan to return back home . Italy, Germany and most of the European countries are racist!!
I am here for 33 years I wanted to come for only 4 years just to make a little money and then go back and I am stuck also, I want to go home too. Hmmmm not easy.
I am willing to bet you that if someone told you don't go because it is harder than you think and making a little money is easier said than done, YOU WOULD NOT HAVE BELIEVE THEM. But don't think you are stuck. Just leave
@Marian Hanson Confidence Coach is there a place in Africa for people who just want to work and raise a family, or is it just for business owners/creators and innovators..... what if you and your wife just want to find jobs and raise a family there not try to own businesses....
@@brandonadams32212 in Africa there are no ready work but you can start a business or small shop and scale it up with as low as $500. So do your research and have a plan. It's less stressful and more peaceful
Some make a lot of money but you have to turn it back over in the form of taxes. Africans on the continent should look up Skid Row on UA-cam. This man said he sold his business and work in the US as an Assistant Manager? Think about that Brothers and Sisters.
When I was younger, I emigrated to USA from 🇯🇲 and after 6 months I was called to go in the army to fight in Vietnam and after I came back, I left, having stayed there just over 3 years. I am happy I made that decision and left for good. That was my best decision ever
The Future of Africa is exciting!! Trust and believe the African dream is coming in place . I went to school in the USA and realized they sold us a false narrative of the best life . Never felt free anywhere like in Ghana 🇬🇭!
Guys, please be happy wherever you are. Stop chasing money. We all have to leave this earth one day. No one owns anything. Not even the queen of England. Every one of us is going to be evicted from the house, land, or apartment we own when we die. And guess what? We all have got to go. Therefore, if you live in a tiny closet in New York, try your best to be happy. If you live in the village in Africa, eat fufu and stew and be happy. If you live in a mansion, be happy, and if you live in the UK in your own home, enjoy your tea and biscuits and be be happy. Life is too short. That is the moral of the story. We spend too much time chasing money. Thus weforget to stop and smell the roses. We need to stay in our own country. Develop our country's infrastructure, economy, and build our lives and families.
It is so true I l come to in England 20 years now and I'm stuck. Now I just try to save a money to go back home to Africa but is too hard to save a money I'm nearly 40 no wife no chidren
I totally agreed with this man cos I went through the same thing. I’ve been here 22yrs myself and because I came here through the divine favors. I had no family so I got married early then college and then divorced, two kids, etc. It’s the last 9yrs that am beginning to see some financial freedom. I build my mother a house, now I just bought my own land and will spend the next few years building and then am out. This place is a trap if you don’t have the right support, Coach, family that are doing well to guide you, you will work to death. I am a cop now with pension, other investments, still live basic life with no big purchases so I can get out and enjoy Ghana while am still in good shape.
He’s right, no matter how hard you work you’re on a hamster wheel in America. I live in New York and my gross pay every month is $3900+. After taxes I net $2400+, then I have to pay rent ($1600), utilities, student loans, credit cards, etc. He’s right, no matter how hard you work you’re on a hamster wheel in America.
This is very powerful and it hits home for me. As for the man who was speaking in the beginning. He is very correct his son should know that my hospital bill is $65,000 my student loans is $20,000. Oh but let's not stop there. My rent is $1400/month for a 3-bedroom. My light bill is $300 my gas is about $200 soon I'll have a water bill. Oh but wait there's more you want to hear about my job? Only make $10 an hour. How can I afford all of this? There's a whole bunch of us sharing this apartment. That's right had to bring in family members to pitch in. We all have minimum wage jobs so you know..... Got live on top of of each other. My side hustle job makes just a bit more than my main one. That job is just to buy land and build in the motherland. If you come here be smart rent a room get a high paying job send money home. Once you're set up with everything you need leave.
Niger Delta Mirror TV wow debt is business in America they dangle all sorts of shiny things in front of you and say 0 percent down you like wow so you just grab and grab before you know you just working to pay off.. I nearly trapped myself into a 340000$ debt I am glad I discovered Africa before I made that mistake I don’t owe them much might even pay it all back before I leave we will see
@@thebridge5483 The debt trap is sad....Africa has its challenges but what most of us don't have is personal debt- no student debt (parents and relatives pay for your education upto Uni ), no mortgages- u buy house with cash or buy land and build to your taste, cars, household appliances etc paid with cash ....If you are broke, u borrow money from friends and relatives, most times, you don't pay back, it's seen as family support. Maybe, that's why people are more relaxed in Africa cos no bank or loan shark breathing down your neck 24/7. Visitors to the continent always say that- that Africans are always happy and smiling; perhaps it's part of the reason
I’m a black American and everything he is saying is very true. It is systematically designed to keep you enslaved, and it’s so sophisticated that a lot of people here don’t realize they’re legally enslaved. They don’t know anything else.
I was born in American and he is telling the truth, Right now today I'm trying to figure out my move to Africa right now today. American is nobody's dream for real.
@@rasted8755 I got my own I just to figure out how to begin a business for the community, and myself. Visa being put into place very shortly. My dream is to play my part in helping build-up African
All glitter that shines is not good. We have more health problems in the USA than where. The pressure that comes with Materialistic things for blacks in the USA
I am very grateful and appreciate our brother for speaking the truth Well done brother Let all build up Afrika together to prevent and stop our families being tricked & trapped in western/European countries They have taken and stolen enough of our natural & humam resources, talents & skills + lands
Hi African Tigress, am from America, am African American an what the gentleman is explaining is very true. The American dream is a big set up. Visiting Africa for the first time, for me I did not want to leave. The media has lied and continues to lie about Africa. I will be back to live there for the rest of my life. Can't wait.
Please sir, at 60 years, you need to leave and come back THIS YEAR, as in now! You had cocoa land? And you left? I am just shaking my head. I work remotely for a company in Europe right from my home in Nigeria. I am paid in Euros and living like a king here. Have started investing in plantation agric of which cocoa is like the ultimate here. Me moving to America is something I struck off my calendar after my dad who lived there for some years before he came back took time to brief me about how the system in the US works.
I understand the perspective of the contributor as I worked in corporate america too. Any african countries that are still being exploited today with all the degrees of this world is by choice and sheer stupidity. We need to raise africans who are problem solver not table seekers. There is a need for a paradigm shift in the african mentality. Africans cannot even buy their own debt; but waiting for foreign countries to buy their own debt. The biggest problem of africa today is bankruptcy of ideas. The most frustrating thing about the people of color is that we know what is wrong ; we know what need to be done; but we simply fail to act on it.
I'm AA, the man has never lied. I heard the same thing about the UK. Being black in this world is a never ending struggle. Let the world know by speaking the truth.
If you poor its probably good for you to come to America, but if you Middle class which is the group which is most likely to immigrate, it's not worth it for the majority.
I am a Ugandan stuck in California , 15 years since I came as a college student! The urgency to return to Africa became more serious about 3 years ago. My mind is made up now so every money I get I’m always thinking of Africa. I have bought pieces of land in different parts of Uganda as I intend to farm.My house is almost complete so I’m giving myself at most 2 years! Luckily, I don’t have any child yet
What he is saying is 100 % true for those with a good job or business in Ghana. What is wrong is people selling their houses and businesses. Now but for young folks without job and family, America is never a bad idea. My classmate with a first class and a master's degree after 5 years of graduation couldn't land a job in Ghana. Lucky for her she won the green card lottery 2 years ago and the same person that was a laughing stock is now supporting families that laughed at her. She is now a candidate for a PhD degree to be a professor. The mistake many people make as I have witnessed myself in US, our Ghanaian young ones majority don't like to go to college. Some of us who went were laughed at when we were struggling working and studying. Ghanaian focus on working miniature jobs , 2 to 4 jobs and enjoy allowing their families home to milk them out, sending money every 2 weeks every paycheck. That will keep you broke in US and make others live luxury in Ghana. That's the bitter truth. We are quick to go build a big house that we won't stay in over 20 years and yet won't invest in ourselves. Many came with Green card by lottery or family, they have all the opportunities Ghana won't give you; can go to college without cash in your pocket unlike Ghana, you can improve yourself, but sad thing is many don't do it especially Ghanaian. We enjoy buying flashy cars and taking pictures for friends in Ghana. Those of us that came with student visa without permit, hustled and focused are all doing well, some Doctors, lawyers, lecturers etc. I'm a Ghanaian and the truth been told, it is painful to see people waste their lives here, work, drink, parties, womanizing, flashy cars and yet we want to make it ? Check the Nigerian communities for example, very well educated with awesome jobs, the ivy league colleges have majority Nigerians than even African Americans. The problem we have is priority. There are many deception and distractions in US but you got to focus and plan. If you have a plan you can go home successful. Ghana is great, but very difficult if you don't have seed money for school, business etc. Some came with BECE certificate but today are Wal-Mart Co-manager, pharmacist , Nurse Practitioners , Auditors in Pentagon. So it is not a one sided story......it depends on you. If you have a good job like some of my friends in the Gold mines and oil fields in Ghana taking 2000 USD monthly , don't come to America. But if you don't have a job, and selling pure water, please come with a plan, you will improve yourself.
African Americans/Africans Brothers and Sisters please, please, please Do Your Research before Moving to Any Country. If you Own a Business in Africa you might want to stay in Africa. If you Own a Business in Amerikkka you might want to stay in America. Peace.
Yes i concur to this statement. Research is much needed. Yes everyone wants to leave because of whats going on in Amerikkka but guess what...these americkkka dollars are needed over there sorry to say.
@Cassandra Denson you missed his whole point/ i guess you see the pandemic in the US, the economic collapse or the civil unrest/ go do your research and stop talking off the top of your head/ are you white?
@@bobdollar937 weak deflection the two of you (Cassandra an Bob Dollar)are cut from the same w#!te cloth. Birds of a feather. The African brotha speaks truth
I tell all my young african people do not come here move to another african country thats economically doing better and build if you absolutely dont wanna be in your country anymore because money is not growing on trees here and you will struggle here.The thing is stay on the continent you on a continent with all the resources. If africa so bad why the middle eastern,indians,dutch and chinese come and thrive and they dont care about the lack of electricity, unpaved roads or corrupt government they are there in different african countries thriving. To black americans if you struggling here on a few thousand a year that few thousand will turn you into a MILIONAIRE in africa $10,000 gives to 3 million in currency in a lot of african countries dont be a fool immigrants from all over the world are in africa building except for us. Forget this bs take that tax return for one year or two years straight and go HOME TO OUR MOTHERLAND AND BUILD. YES WE BUILT THIS COUNTRY ON FREE LABOR! SO I UNDERSTAND THE MINDSET OF "OH IM NOT LEAVING CAUSE I BUILT THIS COUNTRY" BUT the country you built will never give you reparations ever but yo motherland will welcome you and that home you always wanted the land you always wanted can be built in your motherland dont be mistaken. The chinese,arabs and indians go to africa and build and are doing just fine. time to go home. This is written by a black american who is ready to go
You have to say something beautiful to this man who said all these good information to help others stay in Africa 🌍 and not to be so cool to the end of the video. Because we are on your page and you have to show us how you promote your page to be a real motivator for other people, to come on your show. Thanks for your understanding. Peace ✌
I understand what this brother is talking about! I have been living in the USA for over 10 years! I have wasted lot of time ! Born in Burundi, did first degree in Kenya at Africa Nazarene University then USIU for masters degree. Then dropped out of masters degree and went to New York City. I had to do a second degree then premed then med school in the US then now continuing med school in an MD school in Europe because there is large discrimination against black people in the US. I m hoping to complete med school and probably I will move back home to east africa! Racism is real in America! It's crazy!
Bravo...Bravo... You are speaking the truth. America is not what is purported to be. I completely concur with your comments. I am an African leaving in America for many years and I am now planning to return to African for good.
This video touch me. I had to keep myself from crying. Another issue in America is that Black don't practice group economics. That's the major problem here beside hatred for one another
I'm confused this brother completely contradict himself, he said no need to go to US and he regrets why he travelled to US but at the same time he admitted that he used to make a lot of money which again is the reason why he travelled to the US but he misused it buying unnecessary things when he could have built mansions in Africa so in this case it has less to do with America, but his own decisions making
This constant migration from the Caribbean and Africa ONLY HURT our family unit. Bonds are broken, years go by, people die, new births and we are disconnected chasing this dream. Then we become accustom to the way of life in America and become fearful of going back into a culture they have grown distant from. Quite SAD!!!
I hate it here.. i want out... I’m saving now to move in a few years.. I grew up in the slums of the USA... I don’t care about violence, being poor I am poor... it’s not about the lifestyle it’s about feeling free... I’m watching videos to hear real information.. social media is a visual encyclopedia.. thanks for all the videos.. *around 5:00 I felt that shit that made me cry 😢 I swear I want to leave I don’t want that in my future
This guy is exactly right this system is designed to basically hold you hostage everything that you work for goes right back into the system unless you probably open a bank account in your motherland and send money there weekly or monthly it'll be very difficult to live this country even if you want to .
Most of the young people wont believe you. Its great to tell them especially someone with experience. When they make it in Afrika and have money thats when they travel.
God bless this man the truth has to be heard. We have to get this message out over and over. This man is making me cry becàuse everything he is saying is the truth. We have to pave the way for our children back in Africa. God bless you all.
I studied for my masters in Australia, I realised early on that life is not what I thought it was abroad. Came back to Kenya immediately I graduated and later opened my business which is doing well. We are WAY better off here in Africa than abroad.
@roselynholloway7863 No, it wasn't, I was there to study alone, so the university experience was great. I was a banker before I went there, I tried to apply for the same kind of jobs.They do not recognize african degrees in their job market.
He is telling the truth. I had the same mentality of going back to Nigeria. I have been living in America for 30 years . This pandemic is a wake up call for many of us African living in USA. Even though my house is paid off in USA. I am planning to start building my house in Africa and sale my house to start business in Nigeria
He fail to plan and misused all the money he worked for.. now he is trying to discourage other people's dream..a man who fails to plan becomes a failure and would always want to shift his blames on something else instead of taking full responsibility for his failures.. there are so many africans living in the USA that is making it back home.. because things never worked for you doesn't mean it won't work for the other person.. next time he should learn to plan and set goals and remember home..
I am from Algeria . HE IS TOTALLY RIGHT, I am in Canada right now ( wich is 90% similar to USA). BROTHERS AND SISTERS STAY IN YOUR COUNTRY ! DONT COME TO THIS MATRIX.
Most of our friends who went to the state when they come home they either live in their parents because they have nothing to show for yet those living here have family's and property's of their own .
💯 truth!!! I have been trapped here over 30yrs. But glory to God am almost set to be outta here. Finally. Just visiting will be ok for because of the kids and grandkids. Thank you Jesus🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💃🏼
He fail to plan and misused all the money he worked for.. now he is trying to discourage other people's dream..a man who fails to plan becomes a failure and would always want to shift his blames on something else instead of taking full responsibility for his failures.. there are so many africans living in the USA that is making it back home.. because things never worked for you doesn't mean it won't work for the other person.. next time he should learn to plan and set goals and remember home..
Africans and African-Americans we slow down on building businesses I think that’s one of the reasons why we are in this position but I do believe that it is turning around and getting better you must have the vision of a better African community throughout the diaspora. Because you can leave a business for your family but if you get hurt or pass away on the job they would just fill up that position and move on.
Black Americans have built businesses. Remember Tulsa and Rosewood, and there are many other successful Black communities that have been destroyed in other ways. Even today, the first coronavirus stimulus bill passed, but many Black business owners were not eligible, bc they were not banking with the right financial institutions. This us not to say that Blacks cannot be successful business owners, but they make it more difficult for Blacks. Systemic racism in the US has a domino effect because it is in every sector of our society.
African Americans have a long history and tradition of being business owners .....what many don't know is that the opposition have destroyed many successful Black communities.....we build they destroy..... people tired of rebuilding in America.
you're right my friend from Ghana who stuck in America the same as me here in Australia I've been here for five years but I feel like going to be stuck as well
You must have a plan people. He said he made plenty of money in the US. He spent it unwisely. Plan what you want your life to look like 5-10 years down the road, then go for it. Save and save some more and stay out of debt.Be in Ghana or the US. Then go for it.

I was thinking the same thing when I started listening to this. It's a web of deceit and illusion. I tell ppl I want to go home to Jamaica and I get the you are stupid look. We left real wealth in Jamaica as far as land, houses and self sufficiency to come here and get into debt and build the white man country. when we come here it's like we forget where we come from.

It’s so true. There is nothing in America. You can not save. I always advice my friends to work and enjoy their lives in Ghana but they think I don’t want them to come enjoy in the states.
stephen bishop yes we make enough money but the system is design such that everything goes back to bills.

My name is Njerakey and I am from Chad. I have been living in America (Maryland and Ohio) for 12 years. Everything this brother says is true and I am a living example of that. After staying in America for almost 13 years, I finally realized the illusion of the American dream at the age of 27. I am leaving for Africa at the end of this month. I don’t care what they say about Africa. My education would at least serve Africa instead of being second class in this miserable place. Africa is the place to be.
My dear Brother, I am happy that you didnot waste your life here loke so many other Africans who come to USA. You can Go Back home and help to build your community and teach the young people to realize that they don't need to leave the continent.
Find out what your country needs. Network with entrepreneurs who want to invest in Africa. How can Africans in the Diaspora help you to Build Chad and make it a better place? Use social media to network and market every resource that you can. Form a team. Use your natural resources and the brain power of your youth and the wisdom of your elders. You will succeed!! Keep the faith.❤❤❤
There is no culture in the US. It’s been dilluted into nothing and the dream that foreigners have been romanticizing about is long gone.
I'm glad Africans see how America really is. There are so many Americans who left America and went to Africa for peace. Like he said, Africans stay in Africa. It's not easy as you think.
America is far better than Africa in Africa you will be label as an immigrant and called a foreigner, it is not your home one is an immigrant or a foreigner in their own homeland, you are already home, it makes no senes to leave a fight only to fight someone else problems, your ancestors die right here in America.... watch this video and do some research on your own...How the American Indian became African American-- and watch---Black Indians shut down the street in New Orleans... don't believe the hype talk from Africans they would love to live in America.
@K-Daniels No Africa is your, so when you go you don't have to apply for citizenship and wait for five to ten years for it because no one is a foreigner or an immigrant in their own homeland, however as for black American we are not Africans and if we go to Africa we will not get automatic citizenship and yes we would be foreigners in Africa and always be immigrants in the land lol as for me I am an aborigine I have for grandmothers that die right here in America that once was called Turtle Island, I am a full-blooded Cherokee and very very proud.
@K-Daniels You are a proud jackass lol who don't know a damn thing, who won't do any research for yourself, I will continue to come on all the so-called pan African channels to get the message out to save a few from this brainwashing hype talk Africans got going on pursuing black American people to come and work and build up their rich country for their children and people the big question is why? and not investing a damn thing in you. out of all the other diaspora they are pursuing black American the most, what is the Africans real motive, why having they spoke on what they can do for black Americans and their children, they speak only of themselves and their own children future how blind can your type be, you can curse me out all day and call me all kinds of names I am not going anywhere, I will not leave a fight to go fight a fight where I will be label as a foreigner or an immigrant and not speak their languages, investing and buying leasing land that is already owned by a chief and his family and having to renew it at a set time is for a fool, lol only a blind fool will do that if Africa is so rich what the hell they need fools like you or black Americans for lol go ahead and fall for the okie dokie like your so-called African ancestors did and they got betrayed and sold into enslavement and got their land taken by the same descendant your dumbass is loving on lol go ahead and believe in their illousion, Trump said it best, if you don't learn from the past you will repeat the past...It is time for black Americans to stop building up other people's kingdom. SO GO AHEAD BROTHER CURSE ME OUT CALL ME NAMES THAT'S NOTHING NEW WE DON'T RESPECT ONE ANOTHER ANYWAY, WE FIGHT EACH TO DEFEND OTHERS, WE HAVE NO UNITY, WE RATHER HAVE UNITY WITH OTHERS, THAT'S THAT SLAVERY MENTAL ILLNESS WE WERE TAUGHT BY WILLIE LYNCH, NOTICE AN AFRICAN MAN WILL NEVER DISRESPECT HIS WOMAN OR ANY OTHER RACE OF MEN AS FOR US WE TREAT EACH OTHER LIKE ANIMALS AND TALK TO ONE OTHER LIKE DOGS...

This is an amazing video. I live in New York, and yesterday, I went to conduct business at the Bank. There, I met an Italian man in his 40's. He was depressed and very sad. I struck up a conversation with him.
He told me he's been living here in New York for 11 years now. He left Italy for the American dream. He told me, 11 years after he left Italy, he is still unable to save money. So, he was at the bank to close his account. He said he already packed his things and is leaving on Monday, back to Italy.
He also told me that he got an eviction notice, together with a lot of other tenants in his apartment building, and that was the final straw. There is no way out, other than moving back to his homeland. It was a sad story to listen to, and there are millions of others like him. Homelessness will skyrocket in the near future here in America. Africa is the future, and once all Africans in the diaspora move back(including myself), Africa will be unstoppable.
The problem is everyone overseas think New York is all there is in the U.S. The days of going to NY (or L.A. and Chicago) and making it big have been over for decades. I have known of African immigrants going instead to places like Houston (lots of Nigerians there), the Twin Cities, Des Moines, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Dallas, etc...places where you can get a good job with reasonable cost. They get educated and end up making 6-figures living in big homes and driving nice cars.
@@patrisio3, those places are definitely much cheaper than living in New York. Even many cities in Georgia are very cheap. You can get a mansion I'm those cities for what you will pay for a 1 bedroom apartment in NYC. But, I'm ready to give up all of them, even the cheaper states, so live in Africa.
I own a very good business here in New York, but Africa has been calling me for some time now. I think it's time to amswer that call, and forget the country that I'm not wanted in.
I feel this brother’s pain! America is no joke. The way they set this system, you lucky if you can save $300 a month. It’s Sad!
You are never lying...... truth
this the same africans that laugh at black americans when they complain, that's what he get.
For someone with only a high school diploma it sounds like he was doing well. He's not going to discourage anyone from leaving Africa for abroad by saying how easy it was for him to get jobs. If he had enought money to build a six bed room home then he definitely had enough to return to Ghana if he truly wanted to. The healthcare issue is also a valid one. I have an older Nigerian co-worker who'se brother has health issues, but they want let him return to Nigeria because they know he won't get good treatment there.
More like 5 dollars a month
I live in London and I save £8,000( yes, 8 thousand pounds per month). I work as an actuary contractor.
You can make money in the US or Canada but it requires careful planning, dedication, sacrifice and plenty of luck. If luck's not on your side you can find yourself in a really bad situation. I know many immigrants who gave up good jobs in their home countries and cannot get back home now after falling for the false American dream.
Unless someone kneels on ur neck until you can't breathe...Are you serious? Whatever you think you have achieved, if they will mistreat your brother you'll be next. Besides Mystery Babylon is about to fall anyway. You're not so smart if you can't see the handwriting on the wall. Africa is the future, Euros, Chynese, know it for sure. They're coming to Africa, not America.
@@bnellaniyah You talking to me?
Yes, You can make money in America if you are not living above your means. Buy DEFLATED house like I did through foreclosure.I am a Nigerian American, 45 years old, my house is paid off here in USA. Anyone can do it with frugal lifestyle. I on my pay my property tax which is $3,000 a year. Cheaper than rent. This pandemic is wake up call. I am planning to start building my retirement home in Nigeria and start sending money to Nigeria to put away.
He’s speaking all facts, and it’s even harder being Black in America. My Husband is from Nigeria and has realized the same thing. It’s depressing. Black people have to work twice as hard. That’s why when others say Blacks are lazy I frown because no one realizes we are crippled and like second class citizens if that.
Yes. I am a Nigerian American too living in USA for over 30 years. This pandemic is a wake up call for many of us.
I am 56 years old. Africa is the best place to live in the world. Africa is a paradise and the richest continent in the world.
Yap, these westerners don’t have nothing. The go Africa and take our blessings of nature, bring them to their countries to beautify theirs and live luxuries because our leaders are so greedy, evil and dumb.
Yeah, so rich until they're allowing themselves to be robbed of its natural resources. Their own people can't enjoy it. Tell the Europeans and Chinese we said hello. In a few more years, they will completely own Africa. Hell, they're already controlling it. 🤣

It’s not paradise. Don’t be deceived. It’s only paradise if you are well connected of if you have a wealthy African family. Most African countries have a 60% poverty rate with no institutions due to corruption, bad government, etc.
Not only for the blacks, life in america is hard for whites too.

@Rashaenka second hand clothes often sold spread on the ground, and the buyer has to bend down to pick his choice, hence the name 'bend down boutique' lol
I am going to be honest as someone who lived in the US all my life 26 years old, many immigrants especially from the motherland come here at a older age with no skills and if you did have a career back home you will have to start all over again. Their is no high paying job waiting for you here in America unless you are young and willing to go to
University and get a education or a skill trade. If you want to come here , come with a plan and a skillset you will get paid with. If you come here with no skills the best you will do is low-wage work. This the truth from a American, this is my warning to the disapora.
This is the most genuine comment. A lot of people complain about their struggles but fail to mention that they are uneducated and have nothing to offer to America. If you have skill set and highly educated, there’s LOTS of money here in America t9 be made. I’m a Nigerian but not proud to be a Nigerian because Nigeria has nothing to offer me and I have no future in NIGERIA. Thank God I became an American citizen with a skill set as a Physician Assistant making 200000$ a year at only 27. I’m a proud American.
As you have rightly said 'lived in America all your life', which automatically makes you have an American citizenship either by birth or a different way. A path was paved for you to have that 'privilege' that enables you to educate yourself and be in a better position. Our parents didn't have that opportunity, therefore their mindset was survival and once you're in that circle its hard to find that balance to re-educate yourself. We the millennial have a different mindset, where opportunities are endless. Therefore I find your comment a bit insensitive to say they don't add value. We need to paint the right picture for others back home that only see prosperity abroad, starting a new life abroad isn't always rosy, being illegal isn't something promote to either.
Brother, I grew up in the states, got a degree, worked in corporate made good money, then realized that this system is a trap. I sold everything I got myself and my family out of there for the very reasons this big brother is sharinf: America is not a place for Africans because instead of building our continent, we are building this capitalism oligarchy. Then we complain about underdevelopment in our home land. It's time to take our talent back to mama Africa (like LeBron)
You are right, but also as an educated diaspora too!! All these money you get, better investing it back home! You will make a looot more!!
Thanks for this insightful and genuine report from your humble perspective. Highly appreciated.
I really don’t understand why he moved here in the first place if he had a business in Africa. That makes no sense at all. He should have done dual citizenship. Or tested America out for 1-2 before moving permanently.. do your research and due diligence first before up and leaving.
Allure of what we see on the tv of what america is is what makes some Africans yearn to go to US,I have an immediate neighbour,he is 32 years now,got the green card around 2012 there,went to the US but he didnt finish even 1 year in the states before coming back home to kenya. He told us America is hell hole,now he is back into farming and he is doing good.
+BusinessLawPole I agree, Africa is not any better but I get tired of this dudes always whining
Yea you always have to do your research instead doing something and when it doesn’t work out for you bash an entire country.Amercia has its faults but I was able to save and invest
He stated that he left due to political persecution. Ghana's leader had citizens killed for speaking against him. He stated this around 13:00.
Sad to say most do it. Leave even good jobs coming here because Family and friends paint us picture and don’t tell us the real cost
I feel for this gentleman, he fell for the American dream of materialistic consumption. Working hard to buy things you don't need and all the money you give back to the rich. It is never too late to wake up I wish him all the luck

Guys, please be happy wherever you are. Stop chasing money. We all have to leave this earth one day. No one owns anything. Not even the queen of England. Every one of us is going to be evicted from the house, land, or apartment we own when we die. And guess what? We all have got to go. Therefore, if you live in a tiny closet in New York, try your best to be happy. If you live in the village in Africa, eat fufu and stew and be happy. If you live in a mansion, be happy, and if you live in the UK in your own home, enjoy your tea and biscuits and be be happy. Life is too short. That is the moral of the story. We spend too much time chasing money. Thus weforget to stop and smell the roses. We need to stay in our own country. Develop our country's infrastructure, economy, and build our lives and families.

He’s right, no matter how hard you work you’re on a hamster wheel in America. I live in New York and my gross pay every month is $3900+.

This is very powerful and it hits home for me. As for the man who was speaking in the beginning. He is very correct his son should know that my hospital bill is $65,000 my student loans is $20,000. Oh but let's not stop there. My rent is $1400/month for a 3-bedroom. My light bill is $300 my gas is about $200 soon I'll have a water bill. Oh but wait there's more you want to hear about my job? Only make $10 an hour. How can I afford all of this? There's a whole bunch of us sharing this apartment. That's right had to bring in family members to pitch in. We all have minimum wage jobs so you know..... Got live on top of of each other. My side hustle job makes just a bit more than my main one. That job is just to buy land and build in the motherland. If you come here be smart rent a room get a high paying job send money home. Once you're set up with everything you need leave.
65k for hospital bill? Jeez. That's enough to build a nice hospital in some parts of Africa
Niger Delta Mirror TV wow debt is business in America they dangle all sorts of shiny things in front of you and say 0 percent down you like wow so you just grab and grab before you know you just working to pay off.. I nearly trapped myself into a 340000$ debt I am glad I discovered Africa before I made that mistake I don’t owe them much might even pay it all back before I leave we will see
@@thebridge5483 The debt trap is sad....Africa has its challenges but what most of us don't have is personal debt- no student debt (parents and relatives pay for your education upto Uni ), no mortgages- u buy house with cash or buy land and build to your taste, cars, household appliances etc paid with cash ....If you are broke, u borrow money from friends and relatives, most times, you don't pay back, it's seen as family support.
Maybe, that's why people are more relaxed in Africa cos no bank or loan shark breathing down your neck 24/7. Visitors to the continent always say that- that Africans are always happy and smiling; perhaps it's part of the reason
Get a nonprofit job and that will off set the student loans. Look for a 30 dollar an hour job.

Please sir, at 60 years, you need to leave and come back THIS YEAR, as in now! You had cocoa land? And you left? I am just shaking my head. I work remotely for a company in Europe right from my home in Nigeria. I am paid in Euros and living like a king here. Have started investing in plantation agric of which cocoa is like the ultimate here. Me moving to America is something I struck off my calendar after my dad who lived there for some years before he came back took time to brief me about how the system in the US works.
The man who was here in America for 22 years. He is right.
I understand the perspective of the contributor as I worked in corporate america too. Any african countries that are still being exploited today with all the degrees of this world is by choice and sheer stupidity. We need to raise africans who are problem solver not table seekers. There is a need for a paradigm shift in the african mentality. Africans cannot even buy their own debt; but waiting for foreign countries to buy their own debt. The biggest problem of africa today is bankruptcy of ideas. The most frustrating thing about the people of color is that we know what is wrong ; we know what need to be done; but we simply fail to act on it.
👏👏👏👏👏
True. Greed is too much killing the continent
I agree AFRICA is the best we're always happy and stress free.❤❤
I used to work three jobs till i fainted at the job. When i wake up i find myself in the hospital. Not easy here oh.
I'm black American but raised in Haiti for five years, I totally understand his pain about living in the USA.
I love and believe in my beautiful Africa. Kenya my home,the land of my ancestors
Is it me or does it seem harder to save money in here USA would like to visit to Africa hopefully live one day.
I'm AA, the man has never lied. I heard the same thing about the UK. Being black in this world is a never ending struggle. Let the world know by speaking the truth.
If you poor its probably good for you to come to America, but if you Middle class which is the group which is most likely to immigrate, it's not worth it for the majority.
Exactly.
You need a medal lol
Jamiami Jamiami finally, a comment that has a good perspective.
I agree...
I am a Ugandan stuck in California , 15 years since I came as a college student! The urgency to return to Africa became more serious about 3 years ago. My mind is made up now so every money I get I’m always thinking of Africa. I have bought pieces of land in different parts of Uganda as I intend to farm.My house is almost complete so I’m giving myself at most 2 years! Luckily, I don’t have any child yet
Did you study agriculture?
Jess J Yes, I did study agriculture for 4 years in secondary school but more importantly, I grew up in a farm.

What he is saying is 100 % true for those with a good job or business in Ghana. What is wrong is people selling their houses and businesses.
Now but for young folks without job and family, America is never a bad idea.
My classmate with a first class and a master's degree after 5 years of graduation couldn't land a job in Ghana. Lucky for her she won the green card lottery 2 years ago and the same person that was a laughing stock is now supporting families that laughed at her. She is now a candidate for a PhD degree to be a professor.
The mistake many people make as I have witnessed myself in US, our Ghanaian young ones majority don't like to go to college. Some of us who went were laughed at when we were struggling working and studying.
Ghanaian focus on working miniature jobs , 2 to 4 jobs and enjoy allowing their families home to milk them out, sending money every 2 weeks every paycheck. That will keep you broke in US and make others live luxury in Ghana. That's the bitter truth.
We are quick to go build a big house that we won't stay in over 20 years and yet won't invest in ourselves.
Many came with Green card by lottery or family, they have all the opportunities Ghana won't give you; can go to college without cash in your pocket unlike Ghana, you can improve yourself, but sad thing is many don't do it especially Ghanaian. We enjoy buying flashy cars and taking pictures for friends in Ghana.
Those of us that came with student visa without permit, hustled and focused are all doing well, some Doctors, lawyers, lecturers etc.
I'm a Ghanaian and the truth been told, it is painful to see people waste their lives here, work, drink, parties, womanizing, flashy cars and yet we want to make it ?
Check the Nigerian communities for example, very well educated with awesome jobs, the ivy league colleges have majority Nigerians than even African Americans.
The problem we have is priority. There are many deception and distractions in US but you got to focus and plan. If you have a plan you can go home successful.
Ghana is great, but very difficult if you don't have seed money for school, business etc.
Some came with BECE certificate but today are Wal-Mart Co-manager, pharmacist , Nurse Practitioners , Auditors in Pentagon.
So it is not a one sided story......it depends on you.
If you have a good job like some of my friends in the Gold mines and oil fields in Ghana taking 2000 USD monthly , don't come to America.
But if you don't have a job, and selling pure water, please come with a plan, you will improve yourself.
Great Advice!
My brother is telling the truth...I've been in America all my life and I I live pay check to pay check struggling to pay bills to survive
Thank you,after 6 years i understood all things you talked about.he is telling the truth.
This guy is talking fax Thank you sis
African Americans/Africans Brothers and Sisters please, please, please Do Your Research before Moving to Any Country. If you Own a Business in Africa you might want to stay in Africa. If you Own a Business in Amerikkka you might want to stay in America. Peace.
Yes i concur to this statement. Research is much needed. Yes everyone wants to leave because of whats going on in Amerikkka but guess what...these americkkka dollars are needed over there sorry to say.
this is epic' the man talking needs his youtube media
@Cassandra Denson you missed his whole point/ i guess you see the pandemic in the US, the economic collapse or the civil unrest/ go do your research and stop talking off the top of your head/ are you white?

Tell the Truth my brother! Amen
I tell all my young african people do not come here move to another african country thats economically doing better and build if you absolutely dont wanna be in your country anymore because money is not growing on trees here and you will struggle here.The thing is stay on the continent you on a continent with all the resources. If africa so bad why the middle eastern,indians,dutch and chinese come and thrive and they dont care about the lack of electricity, unpaved roads or corrupt government they are there in different african countries thriving. To black americans if you struggling here on a few thousand a year that few thousand will turn you into a MILIONAIRE in africa $10,000 gives to 3 million in currency in a lot of african countries dont be a fool immigrants from all over the world are in africa building except for us. Forget this bs take that tax return for one year or two years straight and go HOME TO OUR MOTHERLAND AND BUILD. YES WE BUILT THIS COUNTRY ON FREE LABOR! SO I UNDERSTAND THE MINDSET OF "OH IM NOT LEAVING CAUSE I BUILT THIS COUNTRY" BUT the country you built will never give you reparations ever but yo motherland will welcome you and that home you always wanted the land you always wanted can be built in your motherland dont be mistaken. The chinese,arabs and indians go to africa and build and are doing just fine. time to go home. This is written by a black american who is ready to go
Welcome home
SELAH, YOU ARE 100% CORRECT.
Ase’
He’s not lying no lie not one! They don’t respect the elders either on the job in public no where!
You have to say something beautiful to this man who said all these good information to help others stay in Africa 🌍 and not to be so cool to the end of the video. Because we are on your page and you have to show us how you promote your page to be a real motivator for other people, to come on your show. Thanks for your understanding. Peace ✌
This was an excerpt of a 2hours plus Livestream. It's not the full video.
It’s so bad here that American’s are now fleeing their hometown for Ghana. I ❤️ 🇬🇭.
My advice would be.. Come to the USA, network with the on code Ados brothers and sisters here. Get your resources and bring them back to Africa. B1 A1
People can do well anywhere! The problem is, where do you feel at home?
I understand what this brother is talking about! I have been living in the USA for over 10 years! I have wasted lot of time ! Born in Burundi, did first degree in Kenya at Africa Nazarene University then USIU for masters degree. Then dropped out of masters degree and went to New York City. I had to do a second degree then premed then med school in the US then now continuing med school in an MD school in Europe because there is large discrimination against black people in the US. I m hoping to complete med school and probably I will move back home to east africa! Racism is real in America! It's crazy!
Bravo...Bravo... You are speaking the truth. America is not what is purported to be. I completely concur with your comments. I am an African leaving in America for many years and I am now planning to return to African for good.
This video touch me. I had to keep myself from crying. Another issue in America is that Black don't practice group economics. That's the major problem here beside hatred for one another
That brother was as real as it gets. I'm glad he has arrived where hes at. Too bad he arrived in America and lost focus and began Squandering 14yrs
Niiice Tigress. I like how you highlighted this. This elder's testimony is priceless. I thank and respect him for sharing.
If we learn to live in our means we would do fine. I know many people who have made it. Built houses, businesses
I'm confused this brother completely contradict himself, he said no need to go to US and he regrets why he travelled to US but at the same time he admitted that he used to make a lot of money which again is the reason why he travelled to the US but he misused it buying unnecessary things when he could have built mansions in Africa so in this case it has less to do with America, but his own decisions making
Had he done careful planning after 22 years, I think he could have been out of America and built his business in Ghana.
This constant migration from the Caribbean and Africa ONLY HURT our family unit. Bonds are broken, years go by, people die, new births and we are disconnected chasing this dream. Then we become accustom to the way of life in America and become fearful of going back into a culture they have grown distant from. Quite SAD!!!
@Caribbeanprincess - You are SOOO correct on everything you said! That is exactly my story.
Amen he is speaking the truth👏🏾👏🏾Stay in Africa
I hate it here.. i want out... I’m saving now to move in a few years.. I grew up in the slums of the USA... I don’t care about violence, being poor I am poor... it’s not about the lifestyle it’s about feeling free... I’m watching videos to hear real information.. social media is a visual encyclopedia.. thanks for all the videos.. *around 5:00 I felt that shit that made me cry 😢 I swear I want to leave I don’t want that in my future
This guy is exactly right this system is designed to basically hold you hostage everything that you work for goes right back into the system unless you probably open a bank account in your motherland and send money there weekly or monthly it'll be very difficult to live this country even if you want to .
You nailed it my brother. God bless you.
Most of the young people wont believe you. Its great to tell them especially someone with experience.
When they make it in Afrika and have money thats when they travel.
God bless this man the truth has to be heard.
We have to get this message out over and over.
This man is making me cry becàuse everything he is saying is the truth.
We have to pave the way for our children back in Africa.
God bless you all.
I studied for my masters in Australia, I realised early on that life is not what I thought it was abroad. Came back to Kenya immediately I graduated and later opened my business which is doing well. We are WAY better off here in Africa than abroad.
Was Australia a bad experience
@roselynholloway7863 No, it wasn't, I was there to study alone, so the university experience was great. I was a banker before I went there, I tried to apply for the same kind of jobs.They do not recognize african degrees in their job market.
@@edduadv ok
Love this vid. I’m african American. Lived in America 41 yrs. he makes a lot of good points but only about half is actually true about America.
He is telling the truth. I had the same mentality of going back to Nigeria. I have been living in America for 30 years . This pandemic is a wake up call for many of us African living in USA. Even though my house is paid off in USA. I am planning to start building my house in Africa and sale my house to start business in Nigeria
He fail to plan and misused all the money he worked for.. now he is trying to discourage other people's dream..a man who fails to plan becomes a failure and would always want to shift his blames on something else instead of taking full responsibility for his failures.. there are so many africans living in the USA that is making it back home.. because things never worked for you doesn't mean it won't work for the other person.. next time he should learn to plan and set goals and remember home..
I am from Algeria . HE IS TOTALLY RIGHT, I am in Canada right now ( wich is 90% similar to USA). BROTHERS AND SISTERS STAY IN YOUR COUNTRY ! DONT COME TO THIS MATRIX.
What your story ? Why you left Algeria ?
@@selkoa8384 I experienced so many horrible experience here in Canada . This country hurted me a lot...
@@tafinoe9632 is it just the cold or the people and culture .would you prefer to go back to Algeria ?
He's telling the absolute truth the system in America is a trap
What a great story. Sad. Upsetting. But important to hear
Africans for Africans and AFRICA.Lets support our fellow Africans.In this world we are on our own.
My brother I feel your pain, come to Rwanda you are welcome, business here it's easy
Leaving here isn't a joke. I think our family back home hear this.
🤗
Powerful message. The almighty God must bless you for saying the truth.
Most of our friends who went to the state when they come home they either live in their parents because they have nothing to show for yet those living here have family's and property's of their own .
This Brother is talking for me, im in Europe for 30 years.i wish i can go home right now. 🇬🇭🇬🇭
💯 truth!!! I have been trapped here over 30yrs. But glory to God am almost set to be outta here. Finally. Just visiting will be ok for because of the kids and grandkids. Thank you Jesus🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💃🏼

Excellent topic! That brother spoke the truth!
Africans and African-Americans we slow down on building businesses I think that’s one of the reasons why we are in this position but I do believe that it is turning around and getting better you must have the vision of a better African community throughout the diaspora. Because you can leave a business for your family but if you get hurt or pass away on the job they would just fill up that position and move on.
Black Americans have built businesses. Remember Tulsa and Rosewood, and there are many other successful Black communities that have been destroyed in other ways. Even today, the first coronavirus stimulus bill passed, but many Black business owners were not eligible, bc they were not banking with the right financial institutions.
This us not to say that Blacks cannot be successful business owners, but they make it more difficult for Blacks.
Systemic racism in the US has a domino effect because it is in every sector of our society.
African Americans have a long history and tradition of being business owners .....what many don't know is that the opposition have destroyed many successful Black communities.....we build they destroy..... people tired of rebuilding in America.
You're right, Business is a game changer
you're right my friend from Ghana who stuck in America the same as me here in Australia I've been here for five years but I feel like going to be stuck as well
You must have a plan people. He said he made plenty of money in the US. He spent it unwisely. Plan what you want your life to look like 5-10 years down the road, then go for it. Save and save some more and stay out of debt.Be in Ghana or the US. Then go for it.
He fail to plan and misused all the money he worked for.. now he is trying to discourage other people's dream..a man who fails to plan becomes a failure and would always want to shift his blames on something else instead of taking full responsibility for his failures.. there are so many africans living in the USA that is making it back home.. because things never worked for you doesn't mean it won't work for the other person.. next time he should learn to plan and set goals and remember home..
True words. I left after 2 years. Happy someone is brave enough to speak openly about this.
