- Ashesi University - How a Ghanaian Millionaire quit Microsoft to open one of the best University in Africa. Working in a multibillion-dollar corporation America’s Silicon Valley is a dream come true for most people. Hence, it's incredible that someone would willingly quit a high-paying job at one of the world's most prominent corporations such as Microsoft. Patrick Awuah is an engineer, professor and businessman, who left a lucrative career at Microsoft to establish a university in his home country Ghana. Awuah founded Ashesi University in 2002 and has received numerous honors both as an individual and as the founder of Ashesi University. The university is a private, non-profit university located in Accra, Ghana. The mission of Ashesi University is to educate ethical, entrepreneurial leaders in Africa; to cultivate within students the critical thinking skills, the concern for others, and the courage it will take to transform the continent. In 2018, Ashesi University was awarded a charter by the president of Ghana, granting it full independence as a nationally recognised degree-granting institution. It was the youngest university to have been granted a presidential charter in Ghana's history. It is a member of the Council of Independent Universities, the Association of African Universities, and the Association of Commonwealth Universities. Join us in our video today, which looks into story of how Patrick Awuah, a multi-millionaire who quit his job at Microsoft to create one of the best university in Africa.

Respect to someone who, after making it, decides to give back to the society and country of origin. Africa needs more people who are willing to share their knowledge with the younger generation to build a better future for Africans.
A true Ghanaian patriot. 👍👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
Lovely to see Africans helping Africa. Much love from Morocco land of the Moors 🇲🇦♥️👑♥️🇲🇦
Glad you enjoyed watching. Do share the video with friends on social media and WhatsApp.
Moors come from north Africa so why is Morocco killing Africans for migration? Aren't the moors black people? Make it make sense
Another one would have chosen to stay at Microsoft but he choose to build Mamma Africa's future. too much respect 🙏🏻
BTW I love this channel content, because it is very inspiring
Glad you enjoy our work. Do share the video with friends on social media and WhatsApp.
A real visionary Ghanaian with clear cut iniative. Building the next generation of African leaders from this great institution. Kudos!
Great story,its always inspiring when Continental Africans return home from the West to rebuild mama Africa.
Africa needs many many Patricks, thank you Patrick.
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. ASHESI UNIVERSITY IS AMONG THE BEST TOP 10 PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES IN AFRICA. WITH STUDENTS ALL OVER AFRICA ATTENDING.
It is really great that someone can repay the scholarship that was awarded to them many times fold. Many underdeveloped economies would give citizens scholarships to study abroad with the understanding that they would return to help develop the country. Most recipients don't return.
Great, and refreshing to see people give back to their roots..
His root? It would be preferable to say “his country” rather .. mind you, he was born and raised in Ghana. Attended high school in Ghana, he left Ghana for his college education in his late teens...if he is an African American or a Ghanaian American, born and raised in America, then the word “root” would be appropriate.
You are an African Extraordinary and a leader others should learn from you. Let Africa grow out of her own children. No other nation can develop Africa without a higher gain motive. You make us proud as Africans
CongrAtulation we needs people's like u breada to shape our mama land in the we need for the betterment of our kids
I’m in tech this strikes my heart in a beautiful way❤
Love You Patrick for appreciating your mother land Ghana.Ayekooo
While you still alive................. 🇿🇦 I salute Sir
Shared a flight with him on my way from ghana in 2020, very down to earth man, you are great Mr Awuah
I am from the Pacific Island of Papua New Guinea.
Your story is unique and amazing and you are a special man who stand out in the world. There will never be one like you in a thousand years.God bless you for sharing your skills and knowledge with the others at large especially black people's.
Please market your prestigious university in the Pacific and my country men and women can study there. PNG is located North of Australia.
the model of education has to be change d, other public universities must follow suit
Technology is everything in the modern world it is Africa's one chance to remain relevant
This is amazing African migrants are allways hardworking
Did the right thing, to do return to mama Africa… teach young generation… that will spread fast in Africa… it’s would be nice to name university after him… what a true gentlemen 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
The needed mindset in this continent. Talents to be back home and improve lives
Same thing my son wanted to pursue. Graduate with 9 cxc , grade 1&2. 3 credits, and two distinction. Ended up doing computer Science instead.
Did your son want to establish a world class university?
Proud to be an Ashesian
Truly an excellent man, God bless him.

You are A inspiration 2 Millions of people that should want to grow develop an Learn Forever, Much Love ,Respect An Peace 2 U. Almighty GOD Blessed Africa with A Genuine Critical,Master Thinker For His People!!!
We Africans have the obligation to be moral. Our own history demands it. In this perspective, here we should present things in terms of added value. Because if we say 'quit to', it can seems like we do not recognize the added value his time at Microsoft has been to his project in Africa. Therefore, instead 'quit', it can be 'after having worked at Microsoft', this Ghanaian Computer Engineer open one of the best Universities in Africa.
We must be grateful, we must be moral and ethical. We don't need to copy madness, greed, etc I mean the evil that the colonists, the predators and the organised criminals have brought to Africa.
It always a.blessin tohave a positive thinker that will alwaysthink of their own people.ilove it

Top 2 universities are found in South Africa
Namely University of Cape Town and university of Wits
Focused on the big picture true African
Now thats whats up
São Miguel Quixeramobim Ceará
it cant be "the best" university in AFRICA...its one of the universities in africa.thats it...look it that UP.
But they mentioned in the video he opened one of the best university in Africa. Not in the title but in video the mentioned one of the best...
I checked it up in Google and apparently the university is ranked among the best 10 private universities in Africa. The young man did a great work.
@@spuknicjones9531 i commented before I watched the video..based on the title..askies😁
@@FutBrix1096 click bit to get you to watch…the gentleman and the wife did great job for Ghana and Africa.
Africa leadership university is also there
Is the best ....
❤
👁
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘👌👌
You need the courage to keep the West outta your business
Glad you enjoyed watching. Do share the video with friends on social media and WhatsApp.
The best University in Africa has always been UCT or WITS in South Africa and number 3 isn’t even from Ghana it’s Egypt 🤷🏽♂️
And who cares 😏🙄
It is the most impactful university. 96% get employed within a year of graduation around the world. Students come from over 30 African countries. admission is blind becaise of financial aid: private donors, corps like Mastercard, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft and charities are its main sources of finance.
All Nana Addo knows is to talk big, with good diction and command; yes, one of the very best communicators ; but beyond that, there is nothing; yes, an absolutely hollow power drunk liar, full of nothing but tension and complete emptiness; an epitome of incompetence, greed, corruption, intolerance and vindictiveness. That is what Nana Addo really is.
That is all You know. At least he is better than your tin god.
Propaganda!😏
He left because he made good money within short period of time. That's all.
a jail career do as I say we don't need to do as you say once we get that education you thought you was going to get the keeping then you he said I'm going home and I don't blame him you ain't going to do s*** for him no way but try to use him up
Africa's best University is UCT mos!
Stop lying and stop misleading thew people who might watch your video who know nothing about the continent of Africa and the world of academia. The best universities in Africa are found in South Africa being (1) Wits university(2) UCT or University of Cape town (3) University of Johannesburg. others follow these three. These three universities are found amongst the best 200 universities in the world.
He need to rename the University after Dr. Quame Nkrumah but again he is married to a white woman and not a Sistah of his own race...
Why should the university be named after Quame Nkrumah. I think it has no link with him. In any case there's already Nkrumah university of science and technology in Ghana. I believe the video mentioned who supported him to achieve this dream, which is the wife. Apparently the woman is Mathematics lecturer at the university. She supposed the husband dreams, left the luxury and comfort in America, etc. are all these not enough??? Believe me, some sisters wouldn't have helped this guy to this extent... Let's not focus on race, but rather individuals.
@@spuknicjones9531 "Power is the ability to define reality and to convince other people that it is their definition" Dr. Wade Nobles
Get outta here! You better cast aside your white god and your white jes-us and throw that mythological bible/quran into the trash can of history.
She is pale skinned but she is not white. Context people.
Unfortunately he didn't see beauty in black women
I guess this shouldn't be an issue, or? The woman supported him to achieve his dream, as mentioned in the video. She left the comfort of America and well paying job at Microsoft as well. She's played a major role and currently also lecturer at the university, teaching young Africans over the last 20 years. She might look different, but I guess with a good heart. We shouldn't focus on looks, but more on the good deeds from others.
@@biologic9081 focus in color 1st.
If you can't find a black woman that will help you, then get a lesser white woman. Your offsprings genetics will suffer breeding with whites, but do it if you want.
Ofc he marry a paleskin person, can't innerstand African that marry paleskin person
What do you mean with your statement? At least she supposed him to achieve this dream. She's also there teaching future Africans leaders. what have you done or given back to Africa?
@@spuknicjones9531 keep quiet
Wow how deep is discrimination homophobia and racism? You not a useful human .
Lol 😂 Shut up! Love has no boundaries when it chooses.
IT IS NOT YOUR F. DAMN BUSINESS WHO HE MARRIES. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE IN YOUR LIFE ?
Africa's best University? Hahahaha Banku villagers can over hype rubbish. You don't even make the top 10 best Universities in Africa lol. Always lying with your propaganda.
Dumb comment 😂😂
@@Roys-Fashion_zone says a banku villager lol
Keep decieving yourself.
why the hate... If you Google best private universities in Africa, I guess you can notice they're among the 10 in Africa. I believe this video is about his achievements, not necessarily the ranking... Just imagine if 2% of Africans are bold to do what he did. At least his University is teaching engineers how to manufacture drones, they have launch satellite to space, etc. There's more behind this story, if you can remove the hating perspective....
Gyimifo everything about your village life is competition ofui
A hater and Fool!
last time i checked the best university in africa was uct so when was this coz till today uct is still ranked 183 in the whole world its on the top 200 but what ever
