      But however Lynn, just saying, if we start building malls, real estate in villages, wouldn't that be turning them into cities, of which we are running away from in the first place?! Perhaps we should just keep the authenticity of our villages preserve the original lifestyle. Otherwise, we won't have villages anymore!

    Nothing beats Countryside life.... My friends thought I had signed a quick death warrant after I packed my bags and headed to my Hometown but 5-6 years into it,most of them are accusing me of being selfish whenever they pass by! They are angry that I didn't share the visions I had about the transition!! Am not good at farming so I ventured into tourism and so far no regrets.... Am strategically located along the tourism corridor of Bwindi impenetrable forest and the Western side of Queen Elizabeth national park in Western Uganda....

    I'm a Zambian nurse also working in the US. What Lynn in the US told you is true. I have been here for 34 years and in my 60s. You get trapped here and at the same time you get scared of returning home because you don't have anything back home. You entangle yourself of buying a house and paying for mortgage for the rest of your house. Even if you pay off your mortgage your property taxes tremendously go up and so you will never be free until you die. I have made up my mind to go back home now and live in the village. I have bought 11 acres of land about 45 minutes outside Lusaka the capital of Zambia. I have another one in another village also outside Lusaka. Although I come from the northern part of Zambia, one can buy land in any village and become part of that tribe and culture. We live where you want to live. You did well by not coming to US. So many Zambians are relocating back home. One of the friend just left last week. I'm also preparing of transportation back home. There is no life to enjoy here.

    I am from Jael’s page and I hit the subscribe button so hard when you said we are looking for opportunities overseas when they are right there! So true. I am originally from Nigeria and came to America as a kid with my parents. The truth is they have sold us the western dream and made us think it’s the best thing in the world. I am glad Jael listened to her friend. My family in Nigeria would think you are an enemy of progress if you discouraged from coming to America. The truth is most of them are doing extremely well and coming out here will be a demotion to their lives, but they just want to go overseas. I came here as a kid and by the mercy of God after 30 years I am doing well, but I look forward to finding a peaceful place a the village. Also here in America, some of the wealthiest people live in the countryside AKA villages, but they own the stores and businesses in the cities. I visited my parents in the village when I was a kid and I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you for bringing wichtcraft up, I thought it was only in my country. Most of my uncles ran from their mansions in the village because of that. I enjoyed this interview, thank you for promoting your sister. May God bless in all that you do.

    Very informative story of a successful village farmer in Africa. Farmers are the people who are responsible collectively for feeding the world population I'm from the US and career opportunities are good for educated people especially in the technology field. The US is a good place to visit. However, the cost of living is not cheap especially in larger cities!
    Many Americans are struggling financially in the current economy of 2023 and homelessness is increasing in several major US cities.
    The American dream is becoming a nightmare for some people! I encourage anyone from Africa who are now living in the Diaspora to build homes and businesses back in Africa as soon as they can.
    Make sure to hire reputable builders and contractors so that you're not scammed or defrauded. Please make sure that you are also not scammed and taken advantage of by family members when you're building in Africa. I've heard so many stories about Africans in the Diaspora being defrauded by their own family members ehen building homes and businesses back home in Africa.

    Urbanisation is just like migration in that they both have many advantages on a national level but it might be really detrimental for individuals. On individual level integration and coping in urban environment most likely leads to stress (environmentally, economically, socially) and in the end mental health issues.
    I love the way that she reflected on what is more important in life, at least for her. She is a hard worker though not materialistic and therefore considered what mattered most for her family.
    What an open strong woman! A pragmatic leader who makes sound life decisions. Yes, women can live on their own and we dont always need a man to live a fulfilling life. @lynn thank you for not pushing her or questioning her on her choice of living outside a marriage bond. Many of us live a celibate life by choice and our lives are a blast:)

    Jael, your friend Lynn in the States told you the absolute truth in black and white. As a Kenyan living in diaspora, I have come to learn that opportunities and "strong economies" don't equal to good quality of life. When you get to understand how the Western economies run you discern the fact that you are the donor, funding the economy. It never ends, never stops, you work like a slave over and over again, the cycle continues year in year out. Meanwhile, for various reasons, you're scared of returning home.

      Please reflect and see the kind of environment your parents have set up before you move to the village. The basics are a proper home and access to enough land for economic activities. In many families you may come against internal strife.

I actually visited your site and enjoyed every bit of it. Lynn Ngugi gave you so many ideas...please put them to action. I have been in the US for more than 30+ yrs and what I see is exactly what I desire in my next many years. Lynn Ngugi...you are it! Thank you for selling Kenya to the world. Us in diaspora are so proud of you guys.

    My wife and I always watch Joel and wonder where in luo land that was our guess was Rongo but now we know it kabondo. Village life is the best as long as many do not export bad morals and values from the city. I go to Kenya every year and if kisumu airport was an entry point I would gladly avoid nairobi.

Retired at 43 and am so happy, relaxed, refreshed, re-nergised and you know what in the 19yrs that I was working I used to see my parents twice a month and now I get to see them every single beautiful day and I thank God for that. With this story I am blessed to say I made the right choice. Thank you Jael for your beautiful story. You have inspired me so much ❤

    Hi J! I happened to come across your UA-cam channel and couldn’t help but reach out. We were classmates and friends back in primo, and it’s been such a long time! I really appreciate the advice from your friend Lynn in the US-l have been living and working here in the US for nearly 20 years, and it’s true, as a CNA most of your money ends up going toward bills, leaving very little to do what you’re doing currently back in the village.
    You are truly blessed to have such amazing parents who have accepted and welcomed you back, embracing you as a girl child despite the pressures of tradition and societal norms. I hope other parents take this as a lesson to love and accept their girl child.
    Lots of love, and keep up the great work!

    Honestly, alot of people in Kenya are struggling to make ends meet. If that person gets an opportunity outside the country, they can go make some money and come back and build something for themselves; business, home etc otherwise alot of folks will die poorer here

    Lynn, that idea you said you have, will be a good one. It actually pays off living in the village, and in the suburbs. The financial savings, and cost of living is tremendously a bonus. Imagine, living in the village and still making good money without paying any bills. Surplus money to invest on, and live a better life without sweating financially.

      I also live in the rural part of the US. Of course, it's different from African villages, but the people are more helpful than the city people. We get our milk and eggs from neighbors who have chickens and cows. We also have enough land to grow some vegetables bit of course winter comes and thats it. I also want to relocte to the village in Uganda.
