- Since living in Ghana after moving from the UK to Ghana this is the first meet and greet of our small community of diasporans who moved to Kumasi, Ghana. We all shared our stories of moving to Ghana and why we moved to Kumasi and not Accra as many from the diaspora do when they move back to Ghana.

This is the dream. First, it was the dream to be in the Western countries but now the dream is to be back home.
You’ve said it all! That’s the absolute truth. Thanks to @Wode Maya for doing a great job on showing us the Africa we were not even aware of. May the Lord grant us the courage and wisdom to make the move back home. Thanks for watching!
@@FamilyByNature Bro, I am waiting. :-)
So true 👍
Same here. I'm 53 and done with Canada. I appreciate the opportunities this country has given me but it's time for me to go back home. In due time...God willing🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@FamilyByNature You are 100% right! Wode Maya WOKE ME UP! You guys are doing a PHENOMENAL job showing the wolrd, about Africa that has been DELIBERATELY hidden from black people in the diaspora
Blessings from Senegal 🇸🇳
Thanks and same from us!
Kumasi is really a good place to live in Ghana. Things are also cheaper than other regions in my opinion. Even though I’m from the Volta region, I went to school there. Good place to live.
Thank you! We really love it here, but I can’t wait to come to Keta with the family to enjoy the white sand beaches:)
Things are not cheaper in kumassi please.
@@christopher43azaozagad32 I lived in Kumasi and Accra for so many years. The cost of living is much cheaper in Kumasi.
@@christopher43azaozagad32 Definitely cheaper than Accra. That was the comparison please.
Volta has the best beaches in GH , I would love visit one day ..
Awesome, I love Ghanaian culture.
I'm Zimbabwean, hubby Nigerian.
Hoping to visit one day with my family.
Ty ❤ 🇬🇭
Thank you!
A Nigerian friend told me that most Nigerians/West Africans who are African minded will choose Kumasi over Accra any day and I wasn’t surprised.
Accra seems to be for people who subconsciously crave Western lifestyle. If you’re truly African, you’d absolutely love Kumasi than Accra.
I’m Ghanaian American and planning to move back to Kumasi to be exact within the next decade. Will split my early years of transition between Washington DC and Kumasi before I fully retire in OSEIKROM.
Thanks for watching and wishing you all the best towards your move back home!
Oseikrom!
That was beautiful to watch. Love the venue, the people, the vibe, the atmosphere, etc. Kumasi has so much greenery... No wonder it is called the garden city of Ghana.
Love your content but the videography here was on a whole new level. Love the way you showcased the venue and its environs. Great stuff.
Looking at you all together, I couldn't help think how great it would be if a group of returnees could perhaps consider pooling funds together and invest in or create an industry and own the whole value chain.
It could be agribusiness for e.g.and turning the farm produce into finished products for the consumers, supermarkets, etc. Difficult to do something like that alone but working together, that can be achieved more easily.
The Lebanese, Chinese, Indian, etc do this all the time. It would be great if we could also get together in groups to create our own industries too, to create employment and retain the wealth within Ghana and Africa.
Thanks so much! You are absolutely right with coming together and pooling funds together for creating value. This is why it was a great idea coming together. There’s power in numbers. As we get to know each other I believe we can start something small in future and scale it.
A lot of people in the diaspora especially Kenya 🇰🇪, Ethiopia 🇪🇹, Somalia 🇸🇴 etc have group projects back home ditto people back home so definitely great idea. Thanks
It was much more beautiful when I was growing up in Kumasi but Nana Addo is trying to fix it
All Praises to you all for taking a chance. My name is Kayahdawan and I have lived in Kumasi for the last 3 years. I have a laundry service called Qadash in Kumasi. Pick up and delivery. If you need any help transitioning let me know. I'm from the U.S.
Thank you! It takes courage and boldness and solid preparation. To God be the glory for everything.
Just to add. PLEASE think about opening a laundromat in Kumasi or Ghana as a whole. I still wonder why nobody is doing that in Ghana. The Saturday hand washing is becoming hectic for the new generation.
@@elisobais Fine idea...thank you for that 😀. Going to learn all about that.
@@elisobais new generation 😂? It’s for everyone
Nice to watch videos of the Diaspora in Kumasi. Seems everyone wants to live in Accra but Ghana is much more than just Accra. I think Kumasi may be a bit cheaper to live. Well I hope so😁
I'm an RN and I hope to retire sooner than later so I can enjoy Ghana while I'm still healthy🙏🏾
Thanks for watching, Sister Konadu! You are absolutely right. My the Lord grant you the desires of your heart.
Another awesome video! I'm from a small town in Kentucky (USA) now living in Jacksonville, Florida. My plans are to visit Ghana within the next 6 months. I've heard alot about Kumasi and the developments that is going on there, so that may be our home soon. You guys are killing me with the food! Mail me some🤣Much love and thanks for shaing another great video!
We are looking forward to meeting you! Thanks for watching!
I am also from Ghana living on n Jacksonville fl. I was born and bred and educated in Kumasi and you can contact me and I would give you more stories about Kumasi.
@@idrissagouba962 another Jacksonville Florida Duvaaal person in the house and greeting to you all
Oh wow shout out to FL!
@@judebakoma8841 DuuuuuVaaal! Thanks Jude!
I couldn't stop smiling watching this.
Mickey we missed you! Maame did well. I can imagine you smiling paa lol.
This was more than meet and greet. It was more like an African family reunion. Super cool 👌. Blessings guys 🙏✊🏾💯❤️
Absolutely, Fred! We are one big family now. The children also enjoyed themselves in the pool.
I am from the US and got an Ancestry DNA match there last year. I will be visiting in July to meet them for the 1st time.
I can't wait to move back home!!
May the Lord grant you the desires of your heart! Thanks for watching!
God please help me move back for good one day. let me have this story as well. Amen
Thanks for watching! May the Lord grant you the desires of your heart!
Pray, plan, prepare, contact the right people and take the bold step. You will make it. God help you.
With God,all things are possible,your dreams shall come to pass.Amen
Start taking small steps to achieve your relocation goal, We are all on our way to living permanently in 🇬🇭. Stay focussed and pray to find the right people 🙏
Looks like you all had a great gathering. We keep pushing along with our building project to make coming easier
Thank you, Prince!
How can I come and visit, we’re African American and my Dad is Ghanaian, but still in the States. We would like someone to host us ! We’re Ready for Ghana 🇬🇭
I could connect you to a sister. Kindly send me an email: email@familybynature.family
This is amazing . Africa is the way to go now..
Thanks bro. Absolutely!
I'm enjoying this... Very insightful. Many more of such videos.
Kumasi is always home. It's all about the vibe.
Saving a buck in Kumasi is very true.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
I can't stop enjoying this video.
Glad you enjoyed it, Fred! Although I was there I really enjoyed it again whilst editing:) It was great hearing the different stories and meeting each other. We will be doing more of such events. Thanks for watching!
🎉🎉🎉 crying because we are going home waking up and receiving africa as our home knowing our.people our language our culture
Absolutely! I’m so happy about how we are waking up and realising the good we have in Africa. Thanks for watching!
That was very touching - thanks
Oseikrom all the way. 💃💃💃
Gosh, I miss it and can't wait to be able to finally come back home for good.😢
God be my helper. 🙏
Thanks for watching, sis! Looking forward to meeting you in Oseikrom!
This is beautiful, the quality of properties and surroundings is outstanding ❤
Thank you sir!
There is nowhere else like home.
Home sweet home 🏡
Home sweet home 🏡
Indeed!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
I live in one of the communities you just by passed after the valley view university. Kumasi is a vibe anyway.
Oh ok. Thanks for watching!
Another great video 😊 smiled through the whole thing. You guys make me wanna pack up right now, as I’m staring out my window at the crazy Canadian snow.
Thanks a lot, Akon! I can imagine how you miss home. I remember when we used to watch a lot of UA-cam videos of those who moved to Africa and felt sooo nostalgic! And now we are living the dream! Sometimes it’s like a movie:) Hold on to the dream and continue to visualise it and one day you will be back home and enjoy life to the fullest!
@@FamilyByNature Thank you, can't wait for June! 😀
I'm in Toronto (Woodbridge) and we've been hit with quite a bit of snow lately. Very depressing. Watching these videos help keep my spirit up. Hopefully sometime this year🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
@@a.konadu4010 I completely feel you, I’m not too far from you here in Ottawa and it’s been snow storm after snow storm. These videos cheer me up.
This is great, I have to join this group because I am planning to move to From UK to Ghana Soon

Definitely need to visit Ghana 🇬🇭 🎉❤🎉
Absolutely! Our second meetup is coming on this month. Will film it.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
Many thanks, George!
Just choose to live wherever you find your peace of mind. It shouldn't matter where - we all can't live at the same place.
Absolutely!
What’s your point? Thanks
💯
Kumasi is Vibe
Ah wow so cool! Who would of thought all of you were hiding in Kumasi 😅
It’s so lovely to see and I agree Accra is way too busy and expensive, I personally live in the U.K. and Tema when I’m home. You’re family is similar to mine and it’s so wonderful to see you all integrating with others who have travelled in. I visited Kumasi for 3 days last year and it’s lovely. Hope to pay another visit soon 😊
Thanks for watching, Noura! It’s interesting to see many who have moved to Kumasi:) The beauty of Ghana lies in the diversity. All 16 regions have something to offer. I spent my childhood in both Accra and Kumasi, lived in Tamale and Takoradi where I left for Europe. Home is where family is and for me that’s Kumasi. We love going to Accra for the beaches:) We will be going soon lol. My brother lives in Tema so we come there a lot too. We just love Ghana!
Beautiful and very encouraging too East West North South home is best learning and copying skills from your videos be blessed
Thank you so much 🙂
It's good to be back home, and they says there's no place like home ❤
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
Wow that was so nice, I feel like I was there with you guys 🙏
Thanks so much!
@@FamilyByNature you guys should organise it every christmas
@@FamilyByNature there are more diasporans in kumasi
Home is calling @55 l am ready it will be nice to meet my Man first it looks like 2 is better than one. But l really enjoyed and l am inspired l already got my land just the decision WHEN?
Thanks for watching! Wishing you all the best in your preparation to move.
Welcome y’all ❤️🇬🇭
Thank you, Edmond!
Awesome very exciting
Very! Thanks for watching, Paris.
Glad you are hanging out and sharing your experiences with the viewers. Enjoyed the sharing. All the best. Please keep us posted on future meetings.
Thanks a lot! Will keep you posted.
this is soo lovely.
Thanks Bertha! It is! Looking forward to our next event:)
I thoroughly enjoyed this…😊
Glad you enjoyed it, Bisola! Thanks for watching.
That is amazing. You guys are doing a great job.
Thanks so much, Kim!
I wish they set up a tourist business for people who are coming to visit so they will not get scammed. That’s what they really need to do over there.
Thanks for watching! Yes one of us organises tours in Kumasi.
@@FamilyByNature then what’s the information to it?
@@ctbt1832 relocationghana.com/tik-tours
@@ctbt1832 scams?
have been meaning to you sir, does your children regret settling down here, maybe you are okay with it personally but about them, leaving the luxury lifestyle, friends, school and everything behind and coming to start everything new here. Are they okay
Great question, Patrick. Thanks for asking. They are happy here since they have a better lifestyle here. The boys talked about it in the last two videos we did with our friends from the Eastern region. Sure the girls missed their friends in the beginning, but they stay in touch. They’ve made new friends in school. Lilia was voted as the sports prefect this week. We will talk more about it in an upcoming video. There’s one thing we should never forget. The most important things a child needs are love, security and education. If you can provide these for them they would be happy in any environment. Being in the west does not equate to luxury life. They are many who live miserable lives there. In the same way you can create a beautiful lifestyle here in Ghana.
@@FamilyByNature wow, thank you so much for the explanation, hope they enjoy their stay to the fullest. we will always support your journey
@@patrickfrimpong3281 you are welcome, Patrick! Thanks for the question. It was a good one:)
Lovely ❤
Thank you!
Love the mix of the group, looking forward to visiting Ghana but can't do so until Ghana lift the vaccine requirement to enter to
Thank you! I thought they’ve removed the mandatory vaccination.
Good job keep it up
Thanks!
It is the influence of the diasporan community that will change things for the better in Ghana.
The status quo in Ghana is incapable of self-redemption
Great point. I always say that the diasporans and the locals working together will change the continent. If we can train our brothers and sisters here with the mindset, knowledge and experience acquired abroad through mentorship we can do exploits.
What I have been saying. For example, if our small-medium scale mining scene were manned by them in tandem with locals, trust me things would have been done more responsibly and the real wealth will stay in Ghana (Africa) other than been siphoned out to China.
Me too 🙏🏽🙏🏼
Nice one! Let’s connect please.
God blessed you all ❤❤❤
Thank you and you too!
Great video
Thanks!
Villa Sankofa, mana Frema and Mut koga Ab greetings
You got me laughing with the indomie story. 😂😂😂
You spend a quarter of what you do spend in Accra in kumasi.
Hahaha yeah it’s funny. The East Legon area is crazy lol
you guys make me home sick from alexandria virgirnia
Aww we pray you join us! Thanks for watching!
Looks fun 🤩
Oh yes, Larry! We had fun and we are planning the next one soon:)
Hello everyone how are you all doing nice vedio 😃😊
Thank you, Gladys! We are doing well. Hope all is well with you too.
Beautiful
Thank you!
It is great seeing how people are faring well in Ghana. Which part of Kumasi are you? I couldn’t afford land due to how gentrification has made that essential commodity overly expensive. Anyways, I have a property at Emena-KNUST, one at Donyina behind Appiadu, and two extra plots yet to be utilized at Kwaso around Ejisu.
Ejisu
@@georgeappiah8314 that’s good. You’re way closer to me then. Anyways, keep up the great work Katakyie
@@itz_Addae its not me, but i know the location
Thanks for watching! I’m actually from Appiadu. Both my parents as well. My grandfather ( Nana Gyakyi ) was from Donyina. Back in the days his building was the storey building to see when entering Donyina:) Well done!
@@FamilyByNature I know Appiadu very well. The late Amoaye’s palace to Ohemaa’s house. I actually used to fellowship at St. Paul’s Catholic Church. I taught in Mina, African Child, and Shining Star. We are Safieso family: owners of emena stool lands. I will surely link up when I come down there. Bless up
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Please what is the name of that place ?
It’s called Villa Sankofa, Jamaica Road, Adago-Jachie, Ejisu.
But how are the two whites part of the black diaspora😐🤔
Thanks for watching.
I’ve edited the title please.
Not true nobody wants to help in Accra.
The hospitality of Ghanaians everywhere is amazing.
You guys are saying all these things in front of all these Caucasians. Do you guys think they're happy that you're saying all these things about Europe?
People were just sharing why they moved and these are their experiences. Nothing offensive was said. Stuff like cold weather and knife crime in London are facts and a big concern. No one took offence. Thanks for watching.
Why are they not happy when they themselves sold everything and moved to Ghana 😂 it means they know there's something wrong
@@dianaarthur808 damn 🤪
There's Huge secret history between Ghanaian in particular with Jamaicans and African and American's because of the huge slave trade that took particularly place in Ghana, So, i personal see them that their ours and we should welcome them as brothers and sisters and live in peace with harmony...🙌🙌🙌
One Love!
I subscribed
Aww thank you and welcome to the family!
Accra is not for tight people lol
Yes it’s for the rich lol
@@FamilyByNature Kumasi lol, did Kumasi have beaches
@@bash2268 I didn’t say Kumasi has beaches. We all appreciate Ghana as a whole. We just gave reasons why we moved to Kumasi. That’s it. We love Accra, but Ghana is not only Accra. Let’s appreciate the beauty and diversity of Ghana.
@@FamilyByNature Kumasi its cheap to raise a family so cute
@@bash2268 as if everyone goes to the beach everyday.. many other ways to enjoy nature buddy.
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
