Black Americans have to realize that we are an entirely new and different tribe unto ourselves. We've been Americanized. Our standards are different. But corruption is everywhere.
EXACTLY Black Americans, are AMERICANS first THEN black. the entire culture is something black americans can be proud of and they should use to their advantage.. These people in the video petty as hell..
Amen! I lived in a townhome community that went from white, to mixed, to black, to Ethiopian and they made it clear we are not the same people at all!! Those Ethiopians had NO respect for the sacrifices made that allowed them to get off a plane and live their best life. I moved. And although I reference Ethiopians I've seen that with Liberians and Nigerians. Nope, we are NOT the same people!!
Their culture is not superior to any culture at all. All cultures have good and bad EQUALLY.

American culture is Backwards: viz, Nothing to be Proud of.
@ yes I agree. I was specifically referring to Black American Culture. Something entirely different ofcourse than the status quo in American culture.
Well how we know she is not being mistreated because she's not African? Some Africans don't see us as kinfolk. Facts.
And just because we're Americans some see us as wealthy.
Yeap even the Africans that move to America act as if they are better than us black Americans. I always ask them why y'all keep coming over here if Africa is soooo good?
Mostly they dont like Americans for the most part and call african Americans Black Americans. From personal experience dating a Nigerian
True that
Thats bs stop spreading that properganda
Brothers and Sisters, do not give up the birth right that your ancestor bled, died and fought for. America is YOUR country!
This doing to much. I’m trying my luck in the mother land.
@@jamespierce8342I'm African and honestly if it doesn't work out I'm sorry. I'm not saying don't go there's a lot of things you could do there in Africa most especially if you have somewhwre to start from. And you know a good place to go. Some areas are being controlled by the colonizers puppets making it hard for sometimes Africans themselves to benefit from it. Some people do break the shackles a good amount of them do. I wish the best of luck to you brother ❤
@@graceamito9274 Thank you for those kind words sis. I do really appreciate it. But I do have to say yes my heart wants to be in the mother land but it’s also an act of desperation. They have let migrants into this country to replace us. I go weeks without seeing people who look like me. I know what’s coming and I must be gone before it happens.
@@jamespierce8342 This is true wish you all the best ❤
Ancestors were forced to bleed die and fight don’t pick a side
A year ago when I seen this I assumed this couple was wrong. But after being in Ghana for a year, I can honestly say that they are speaking the truth!
This is the hard truth , too much poverty in gh , that's why almost everyone wants to milk everything out of you
I was born in Turkey and I could never go back… the life I know in US is not the same life… just love my life in the US
One day you will realize "Home" is not some place you've never been to
Thank you. Well said.
Say it louder for the ppl in the back!
Amen! Smh. I wonder what proof she had that that was "home"?
Exactly
I agree
I'm not surprised. Sounds like she's being scammed because she's an American..I BET YOU💚💚💚💚
Yea...
Yep, but we should ALL be striving to go back to the Motherland according to some folks.
@@TijaunaK Don't go!!!.... America is heaven on earth...All you have to do is get a job and you'll be fine...Work hard and stay off food stamps etc etc...👍🏽👍🏽
@@TijaunaK NO THANKS! They clearly have a distain for us and always have.💚💚💚💚
She needed to have an ally. When you go to a new place you need to establish rapport with a local to help with the transition. Whew, she paid way too much.
I just came back yesterday from a 9 day visit. She is telling the truth from what I saw. Be prepared. I was in shock as soon as I hit the ground. Pray for our sisters and brothers.
come tanzania !!!! its better ...
just look for some cheep land and buy it and build yourself !! do everything as a pinoeer!! ie solor power etc!.... its not easy to get what you ma need ..... plus do think big !! .... even pioneers never work !! we are survivors !! its like made in alsaka ... as long as you know this then your fine ... money ... (has no power in trith but things cost money !! )
“The world is Beautiful, its the people that’s in it thats F***** it up!”
Word.
I'm a black American and been living in Ghana for 5 years and yes she is telling you the truth. I had to learn and put people in their place.
@Sun City United Soccer Academy of Sun....what African Americans fail to do is do the research and do the math. We have been lied to about our history because we are rich and chosen. Look at us here in America. We whose ancestors are from this land are totally different from Africans. Those in the Caribbean can relate to them, we cannot. Nothing against them....we are just different. Black Americans, whose ancestors are from here are really the Black Europeans and Black American Indigenous Indians.....not native Americans( they are different and from Mongolia and Siberia). Some Black Irish are in Jamaica ( Patwa-Gaelic dialect). Otherwise we have no connection to Nigeria or Ghana. We are from Europe and the land of America. We are the original black folks of America....not immigrants!!!
Also I failed to clarify.....those black Americans who live in the low country of South Carolina and some places in Alabama ancestors are from..,..Sierra Leon in Africa. They are called Gullah people and came to America to pick rice. They have maintained their culture and are unique t us. Nice people but they have their own culture with a mixed African flavor.. I love their food, but yet they are different.....food, accented language (Gee Chee), clothes, etc. Not sure if they were slaves or indentured.
@@kijihigh6826 my DNA says " 47%" Ghanaian/ Gold Coast." I found my tribe "Conja" in the northern region. I am now the Queen of Kakoshi Village East Gonja Tribe 🌍🇬🇭I found my people 🤲🏿
@@kijihigh6826 my ex husband was Gee Chee and those people and alcohol don't mix lol. They are fighters
@Sun City....happy that you found your people. You are one of a few. Check the DNA for sure. Some of it is hoaxie!!!! You are right...some black folks are from Africa. They were mixed into the original black Americans. No doubt. We can also see the difference right here on our land. They are different. Not criticizing but observing! Thank you for sharing. So you are Gee Chee.. That is why you found your way back to Africa. Wonderful!!!
I approve their message. My ghanian cousin had to buy things with my own money in ghana for me cause he knew ghanians were gonna raise prices on me because I was from the states. This is the truth.
.... That's not ok. Just because I'm American doesn't mean I have to pay extra
@@maire1675 😩😩Remnants of the Colonial mentality.
@@maire1675 it happens everywhere! When I(I am African) went to India they tried to cheat us in the street markets,it's just the norm for tourism especially in countries that poverty is high and corruption is a norm!
Same thing in jamaica, beautiful island but you have to bribe, tip and pay high prices for the whole vacation

Life is tough in Africa, as African we are struggling 🇿🇦
Thanks for being honest, I hope everywhere gets better 🙏🏽
It's not tough for everyone and there are many countries in Africa not just Ghana
How are people gonna think that coming to Africa will magically be a walk in the park???😮 How??
Honest but u in SA ever experience Wafrika? All afrika has it problem but everybody know SA thst a different world
@@andilemajiki2203 Because they think it's heaven
This is the type of video I needed to see I’ve been thinking about relocating but I needed to hear a honest opinion of what it’s like living in Africa nobody wants to be taken advantage of especially when you have four kids I understand the frustration of this black couple I watch all these different content creators they never break it down like this black couple always sugarcoating it tell us the type of things we are going to have to deal with be honest lay it on me straight nobody wants to walk into anything blind thank you for posting
they'll do that with any country. But do you want to enrich other nations, or actually build Africa into a reputable place and not just the evolutionary grounds of the world. I think a great repatriation from blacks would help with maintaining baseline infrastructure and build the image Africa needs.
@@smplfi9859Use us to build your country up at any cost until we’re no longer needed and then what?
Africa is a continent. She lived in Ghana, which she is 100% right about because I experienced it firsthand. But that does not speak for all 52 plus countries in Africa.
How abt u have an individual experience? 😢?
Yep, the corruption is rampant. You will pay more because you are a foreigner. Now you have first hand experience seeing how good we have it in the USA.
I am An African American woman living in Ghana for 13 years now. I have not been to America in 12 years I came and love it here. It's not for everyone
Amen. It’s not for everyone.
So what do u do..how did u get around the things she mentioned so she and those who are genuine about want to b there have a idea of what to do..no disrespect at all just asking for help
@@dajialaw220 they need to not come here expecting to find America. They need to come with a blank slate and adapt to life here. The areas she mentioned are very expensive to live in. Yes the roads are bad so expect to spend longer getting to where you are going.
There is no hot water running out of the taps because most of the year, Ghana is so hot, you are yearning for that cool shower. For the few cool months in the year, we either heat water on the stove or install hot water tanks. They are readily available and can be done by a good plumber.
With the scams and rip offs, that is so true. Everyone is trying to get one over you. A lot of people lie about cost of things and how much their services will be, time of completion etc It is endless. How do we deal with it? References and trial and error. You also have to be willing to do a lot of leg work. If say, you want that water heater installed, go out into town and shop around, and compare prices. Don't rely on the honesty of the workman.
There are a lot of things that don't work here and we know that, but there are a lot of great things here that we love and can't get anywhere else. Same can be said for America. You have inner-city gangs and gun violence that we don't have to deal with here.
As for her talk about no snacks, that is one of the silliest comments she made. Is she talking about specific brands? Even those, you can find in a lot of the big supermarkets around. Apart from that, there are a lot of local snacks you can find and enjoy for very cheap, I might add. Talk about plantain snacks alone and I can name 5 off the top of my head. Open yourself to experience a new culture and you will love it, instead of turning your nose up at it and comparing it to America. I have family living in America who always load up on Ghanaian snacks when going back.
All this said, Ghana is not for everyone. Come down, give it an open, fair shot. If you don't like it, that's fine too.
So it's not as expensive as she's saying it is? If so what are the prices like?
Ok ok I see u..so what was the difference in u the being able to thrive for 10 years + and she doesn't seem to b catching many breaks..did u know people Pryor. What help if any did u have. How did it work for u for so long
Stay in America and fight for what your ancestors built.
America is our country
@@YahChild It's everyone's country. Real black people are the ones who can survive in any situation. If you don't own anything you don't matter in America.
@@bbwhite7972 We have to change our fighting strategy. Protests are not going to do anything. We have to change our game plan. Go underground and do things behind the scenes. Also we should stop focusing in celebrities, obsessing over sneakers and wearing lace wigs. Also stop crimes in our communities and be united. How can we expect respect when we don't even respect ourselves.
Her ancestors are both AA and African, remember her Dad is Ghanian😉
Facts
As a Ghanaian, it's good pointing out the bad as well.... Africa needs a lot of work
And the west is not perfect either. People will reside where they are most comfortable.
Bernad a Ghanaian man from Accra I met on dating site wants to marry me. He has sent me gifts, we’ve exchanged some too. He’s 46 no kids or wife he says. How do I find the truth before visiting him from America?
@@JLove-xv4hl that's hard to tell. It all depends on how you see him and whether he's given you some red flags. Is he a person you think you can trust? How honest is he? Coming all the from abroad to visit is a huge step. How is he preparing to receive you in Accra too? is the details of your arrival clear to you?Just be cautious too in as much as you consider the prospect of love and marriage. Coming to Accra will be a good opportunity to know him too. I do hope you consider this step carefully
@@bernardmensa3209 Firstly let me say thank you for a response! I will be lying if I say there hasn’t been red flags, on the other hand emotionally he is the kindest man Ive ever known. We’ve been acquainted since February 2023. Talk, text, video everyday. He has ask for a few bucks here and there for food. Not nearly enough for me to think I’m being used, although I didn’t like that as well. And as for how I will be received he says he paying for the flight round way. We don’t share social media because he claims not to be on any. I’m even embarrassed that I can’t tell if this is a romance scam at his point because I satiated too long emotionally.
I was born in Africa, left 40 years ago, almost went back, Thank God I decided not to give up my comfortable life
😂😂
So true, I will visit but I'm not giving up my soft life in America
No matter where you go in the world, you're bound to fail if you don't have a plan.

@@zeubinkwame3956
True 💯
But, they said they did that.
At times, it's not enough. The money side can be good but the emotional and mind-set shift doesn't actually happen until one is there. All the pre-prep many times comes no where near this process.
A suggestion...maybe before travelling genuinely connected to the people from the country you're going to, in the country you are living in. To include markets, food, language, clothing, music, movies, daily norms, etc. You'll have a better start, though some things WILL still be missed and won't click until you're in the country...just be willing to learn and embrace what you can. There will still be culture shock but this can help the process along. Peace~
Africa is fuckeddddddddddddddd up........we all know....she is fucking right......than they come to America with that same mind set.....
These people romanticize coming back to Africa but forget that even taking back our freedom our continent is still enslaved
Soo true
Exactly!
These people.. ha victim shaming
Stop electing gangsters!! Your fault that you are enslaved 60 years after the end of colonization.
@@heniakonas9439 don't you find it funny that these "elected gangsters" favor westers nations politics always?
And when it's someone who doesn't, they are killed, there's a civil war(where they supply weapons) or some other kind of unrest that destabilize the country and someone more complacent is again put in power
Do you know how many of these situations happened and still happen till this day?
Did you really think that they just let Africa (which is filled with resources) be just because they pretended we were free from colonialism?
Thanks for the feedback. I believe you sis.🙏🏾 My husband is African and he does all the talking and negotiating when we are in Senegal due to the of the very same experiences you are talking about.
This couple's video is LEGENDARY and hilarious!! Been looking for it for over a year.
She is Brave no matter What her experiences was in Africa atleast she had the courage to go.
I'm glad to hear from someone who took that Major Leap to go
The bar is low lol
💯💯💯💯
Americans are seen as dollar signs anywhere they go sadly. I get some of the same treatment when I vacation in Jamaica. I still love to go because it is a beautiful country. You have to take the good and the bad wherever you go.
@@carlasway1339 the thing is though (and I ain't trying to say that U R wrong cos U in fact Ur totally right) the types of people who do that stuff to people do take advantage of people, rip off merchants we call them in the UK they exist, but that's my point,we have them here as well,
They scam people target tourists and try to con them all too often , but that's in ALL The countries of the world .
So keeping everything absolutely one hundred (in my opinion)Those people operate the same towards who come into the US and UK from other countries as well, U or me may see it one way cos like I say I live in the UK and I'm not sure if you do or the US or whatever but my point is to tourists who are getting ripped off in our countries is exactly the same as an American or a British person getting ripped off abroad and they're both just as prevalent ,We are not superior to other peoples or nations,I ain't trying to offend anyone (Again that last part is TRULY not said to u personally) but I think that some people out there who really believe you if you are from the US or UK or another so Called first world countries, then that means that they are more important than people from different countries, (like I say though I know your not one of those people 💯 👊♥️😎) and
Did she say “the BS not havin’ no snacks?” 😂🤣😂 I know this is serious but, I died laughing at that 😂🤣💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Fila Kri I think she’s talking about snacks like potato chips, sneakers bars, etc.
@Fila Kri she's probably talking about fritos, potato chips, oreos and ice cream etcetera.
@Fila Kri No high fructose corn syrup...
DYING
Wow....I thought I was the only one tinking about my mother country the same way this people are feeling. I am from El Salvador and have the same feelings they feel.
I’m African and I don’t even want to live there. It’s cool to visit and return home but living there is absolutely a wrong idea all together.
Africans living successful lives don't emigrate, like anywhere else it those less fortunate who are looking to improve their lot.
Right
I'm Ghanaian and I always tell people Africa is a great place for a vacation not to live. But sis how you uproot your whole life to Africa and not take a vacation first.
Right! 😂 It’s like they didn’t do any research. You research before you uproot your family and move to Africa. Like WTH
Speak on it. 🤣🤣

@@musiclover5023 used to be. Poor word choice

Moral of the story: Ghana is over priced, always remember that there are 55 countries..
It's more costly than smaller, less progressive countries, but I dont believe for 1 second that she is renting a subpar trash place for $100/day. I stayed at the Kempinski for around $200/day. If a higher end hotel was $200, you should he renting a home for far less than $3k a month $100/day x 30 days. My mortgage in DC is $3k per month. Something isnt adding up.
@Nana Ofori that’s true.
When you’re dependent on locals to find these places, and they’re directing you to overpriced places that “kickback” to them for bringing new victims, yeah I have no problem believing they are overpaying. Why would they lie about something everyone already knows is true?
@@zemiranajeeullah2068 why didnt she connect with the youtube repats before she went there? I thought these youtube repats are there to help with anyone willing to move over there through them? I believe all those youtube repats are there to help make it easy for others who are on their way.
Yes. And some of us are from southern africa and gues what? A 3 beroom newly built house with all rooms ensuit, well fenced, quiet safe area goes only for $200 per month. My friend recently rented her 4 bedroom house, 2 baths and toilets for $220 per month. Its in a wall fence too. But anyways, people choose where they wanna go and its ok. To me, for those who want peace and quiet life, then ghana has some areas you can live that way. However, Africa has more countries than all the townships of accra. Please choose well before you leave.
Thanks for your honest unfiltered opinions and not sugar coating everything.
This is the most genuine, real life feedback I have ever heard spoken about moving/setting up in Ghana. Thank you for this candid truth.
Africa is not for everyone, you have to have a different mindset when returning to the motherland. I am on my way back to Africa, and my mindset is ready for it, if I have to take cold bath- done, if I have to cook with wood-done, light go out, I'll use candle-done, lizard in the house- no problem, scammers out to get my money, I am smart, muddy street-ok. I am 66 yrs old, I grew up in street like that in the city I was born-country 😂😂. I am not going to Africa to change Africa, I am going to Africa for Africa to change me. Africa is not for everyone 🤣🙄😏 To leave here I will live in a hut-on my creator I will.

I agree. Africa isnt for everybody, and the USA isnt for everybody. We are used to the USA, and forget how dysfunctional it can be. Just weigh your options.
Wisdom 👏🏿✨
There you go ,,
Y’all not hearing what she is saying. She clearly saying that they are ripping people off out there, trying to over tax them because they are American.yea she could of went to a cheaper place that’s less developed, but she didn’t want to. She has money but doesn’t want to be taxed just because she has money. It’s different if she was just a tourist being charged a lil bit more, but she is a resident so she should be getting the Ghana price like all the other people there.
I can relate a lot with what the couple said. I'm latino from the states living in South America. People here give me the american price and see me as rich. They always asking me to help them out financially. I try to help when I can, but sometimes it's too much. Things here are expensive too.
Sister thank you for telling the truth and keeping it real. This was funny as hell and important because you told us the truth. Love you my sister😊❤
Where she got a 6 bedroom mansion for $100k? That's where I'm trying to move to! Sheeeeet 😂😂😂

Compared to Africa she means
They have some for $250000 in Vegas. If u have good credit u might qualify for a home loan. See how much you qualify for. My moms doing it now.
They features of the houses don't look the same as American builders and houses that cost $100,000.ugly on the inside "to me"..
She definitely meant as compared to her living conditions and what she could get for the money in Africa.
The fact that they keep calling it Africa rather than the name of the country they live in goes some way to explain what's going on here
Exactly!!!!
Its like saying America when they mean some where on the American continent.
She made it clear which country thought. Los angeles is a beauty but ive seen some harsh messed up conditiona out here...
As an African-American, I can say it’s pretty conditioned in us to refer to anywhere on the continent “Africa”, regardless of their consciousness and their thoughts about the continent

She has valid concerns. Brace yourself. Select the right country. Dont spend 100 dollars pernight and dont buy expensive houses. Most are owned by foreigners.
Firstly they should have bought a house, secondly you need solar panels connected to the house and a bore hole for water
Candace Owens has some points. And ....
Africa is not only Gana...
The funny thing is that everything she said is the same in America if you're broke. You can get killed easily in America even with all the so called riches. I'm moving to Africa soon.
So because its Africa your not supposed to pay $100/night butbyiu will spend it no question with any other continent withoutbeven thinking
Preciate you. I think part of the problem is that for years America and Europe referred to the Continent of Africa as poor, the poor people, etc. In some places, the people internalized it and act accordingly. I stayed in the Eastern Region for a month and never experienced that, I stayed in a village. I don't agree buying abroad unless you know the country and the laws. Thank them both for telling their experiences because it's real.

This is indeed a wake up for anyone who doesent know how travelling to Ghana without knowing whats happening can be very detrimental. I appreciate this Queen and her King for being real about how their experience was is very helpful for someone who intends to visit or repatriate. Blessings and peace to you beloved.
I love what my brother said when he concluded. " the world is beautiful, its the people in it that are f@#$in it up"
Don't forget that there are a lot of Americans buying property in Africa and taking advantage of ppl as well. No joke.
Those are your ppl born in America not black Americans
@@tmangdgfggd5724 No, those are some Black Americans too. Do your research.
@@kimalonzo4912 they come but don’t be disrespectful cause we don’t do that
@@kimalonzo4912 where is your proof
Thank you. It's so easy to point finger at other people when you are the sole responsible of your failure. Africans are welcoming sometimes the wrong people, ripping them of their properties. Why doesn't she buy them in the US (where she is hunt down?)
The constant scamming and negotiating gets tiring after a while. Having to constantly convince people everytime you walk out your door is tiring.
It looks like she scammed all of us. Apparently they are paid actors!!! No snacks😂 Refering to her own father as a weak African😂 I knew something was not correct.
@@addosolar537 your only scammed if they actually convinced you not to come to Africa.
@@addosolar537 how are they paid actors. I need proof
Yep I agree, it's their culture. I'm a miser so I won't buy it and they won't make money like they think once I get the hang of it.
@@addosolar537 I say make your own snacks
At first I was going to be critical but I caught myself. I was wrong. We need to hear these objective perspectives in order to do our proper due diligence. We will thank them later.
Sister is articulate as hell. She want to plow forward, she does not want charity or sympathy. She just wants to get things done.
I know two people personally that live in two different countries that prefer to live Africa. Everyone’s perspective is different every country is different. I would have never closed my businesses without checking out the country first.
Yea seems like she just went over there blindly. She is complaining about the cows and goats, no hot water, no snacks, high prices...etc. Things you would have to find out about before traveling.
Exactly !
Exactly, I know at least 20 ppl living on the continent & they are thriving. Only one has left. She prefers Dubai over Ghana.
@@Sunshyn3Sam she’s in the country/village. There’s 50 languages alone in Ghana so it will always be a different experience. The city is full of high rise apartments made by Germans, British and French and hotels with Versace detailing. Just check out Wonda World apartments. Furthermore snacks are in abundance because Ghana supplies the whole worlds cocoa for chocolate. There’s fresh ice cream parlors, cupcake stores, Italian pizza places, kfc. And there are stores that specialize in US products and snacks, a hot market that she can capitalize on
@@ceejack07 thank you!
To go to Africa, you need an ally. As a stranger, you’ll be taken advantage of
naw let her tell it! She knew this!?! smfh
to go anywhere u need ally , I live in egypt and I cant go to another city and expect strangers to just help me , I need to make my researches
Not in Kenya or tourist destinations I see foreigners in mombasa paying what we pay for uber , same price everywhere actually, its maybe Ghana was not a tourist destination ,also TZ is the same only difference is people pay for high end hotels and don't get scammed
“The world is beautiful, it’s the people that’s in it that’s f”n it up’” Amen to that brotha!
I’m a Ghanaian 🇬🇭 American 🇺🇸 who lived in Europe before. The truth is, if u go to live in America 🇺🇸, u have to believe u r American 🇺🇸 then u will be fine so that’s goes both ways. So just believe u an African and trust me, u will be fine but if u still think u r American 🇺🇸 in Africa then I’m sorry for u 😂😂
I’d like to know this place in America that has a mansion for $100K 😂.

She went to Africa with the mentality of an American...good luck with that.
@Ray Mone don't go to Africa thinking everything your used to having here in the states to be what you'll expect in a third world country.
@Ray Mone it's a misconception people have when visiting a third world country: your travels will be cheaper, food and shelter will be cheaper. In America we visit Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic etc., we get great package deals including room and board, food transportation all in comfort. In Africa we think all we have to do is get there and make deals from folks that are like us when we get there. Africans don't have the same energy for us. They see us as a means to there needs because we're rich, may it be greed or otherwise. You can probably get great accommodations if you book your trip to Africa through a travel Co. You'll pay a lot and most of us wont go that route... We go we try but most of the time we're disappointed like this young lady and her family.
@@rosierose6008 Africa isn't as 3rd world as you think.
@@woodswal what is it then?
@@sexyhousefly @nustalja stop with the victim mentality already! You sound like a spoiled child.
In Ghana you *NEGOTIATE* for everything.
They will tell you an apple costs $5, now you have to negotiate to a $1.
*You can't move to another culture and not adapt to their culture, thats just stupidity*
Like my dad used to say a real man doesen't need to talk to much to run is house. I like them and she's real. I can understand when people try to scam you over and over you can get tired of it. It's one of the best videos I seen. Thanks to both of you. I send you love from Canada ❤
My dad is the same way. He barely talks, but makes and heads a the big moves. If you speaking falsely, then you will hear him roar.
I LOVE how you both expressed yourself! Real and honest! Thank you for your information!
And I love how her husband took it to those BP criticizing them for telling the truth about their experience in Africa! Gathered them right up! And I know they STFU! 👏🏾🫂💕👋🏿🙏🏿✊🏿
Their experience was about Ghana not the whole African continent. Africa has 54 different countries which are all different and unique. You cannot generalize a whole freaking continent.
@@dennisndirangu2536 Are you clear about that now? I hope so. Because they and I already understand that. Duh…..

Black Americans. America is your home rather it’s racist or not. It is still our home. America is rich through the labor of our ancestors. The only way to make life better for us is to continue to press for change specifically amongst ourselves. Running to any country in Africa is not going to make you African when your ancestry results has about 15 different African countries associated with you as well as European countries. Africa is not the same Africa it was when our ancestors were there. America is our home. This is your most recent lineage that you can actually trace to great great great grandfathers and grandmothers leave that back to Africa stuff where it needs to be in the past.
Right on!😊
This is the BEST public service announcement I have ever heard. Thank you for keeping it 💯
I would not move to Africa expecting an American lifestyle, or constantly compairing to American culture. No place is perfect.
I guess she needed more preparation however the gist was the constant bribing and lying. This was said over and over
They should at the very least be able to expect hot water and electricity. This is 2021.
No place is perfect but they are still too far behind in devrlopment
Thank you, I’ve lived in 5 states and 7 cities. ALL have pros and cons and you CAN move.
@@jtorie1 not every country has theses commodities. It’s not common place everywhere.
I've read many comments here and everyone just like this couple speak as if Africa is one country. NO ITS NOT. What happens in Ghana doesn't necessarily happen in South Africa or Kenya or Rwanda and vice versa. Stop taking your negative experience in one country (and mostly likely in a small area) and throw the entire continent because of it.
Totally agree
On point! Afrika is a continent and isn’t homogenous. Is she an agent?
I am Africa privileged to live in America. I have visited over 30 African countries, what this lady said is total truth... corruptions, poor infrastructure and scam artists is the order of the day... stop attacking her. She is telling the truth
She said that though
Yeah cause I thought the dollar went a long way in Africa
Most people will go through this and they're absolutely correct in feeling frustrated with the lack of standards in energy supply or the manipulation to the diaspora coming back home. Come home guys. Africa sold us a long time ago.
Thank y'all so much for this, I really appreciate your brand of truthful expression. Y'all are helping people to not live in a dream world about moving to Africa. That is a necessity gift y'all are sharing to help us.❤
I cracked up when she said looking out the window seeing malnourished cows..lmao
Lol
Me too my sides hurt
😭
Watching the initial partof the video, I thought she was doing this for comedic purposes the way she spoke about her surroundings but it's clear that someone sold her a dream in an area that turned out to be a nightmare.
Eitherway, I hope her family is safe and gets out safe because it sounds like her experience may turn caustic the way she's describing she and her family's experience with the people in her community.
🤣😂🤣
I feel her, but she can’t be mad at not having the same snacks in Africa...I’m dying🤣
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Am dead
😂😂
I caught that too.....wild hahaha
The snack comments had me cracking up!
I feel her pain 🤣🤣🤣 I had the same problem when I lived in Egypt. The snacks were horrible there
Been to Africa many times and she not lying. Anyone mad at her just don't like the truth. But ppl need to realize Africa is not Wakanda.
What's their You Tube channel? I recently began doing research on migrating to Ghana from America. I am from Barbados originally and believe I can handle it. My concern is that my husband would become frustrated by the transition. I appreciate the couple's honesty and feel their frustration. It seems like a moment where you know that you work hard and make an honest living but life is not meeting your expectations. It's okay to vent but ultimately it will boil down to perseverance and smart business/life decisions. Well wishes to them and everyone else who's stepping out of their comfort zone in pursuit of a better life.
I know! Why he didn't give their UA-cam Channel's Name? I like to know how their doing right now❤
I appreciate their honesty. Idk how everyone in the comments mad at her for speaking her truth.
Then speak the truth... Did you listen to the part where she said ALL AFRICANS ARE WEAK, like WHATTT
She’s being a little disrespectful. I came to Ghana in 2017 and I’ve been here since. Some of the things she’s saying are true and some of them are false .
Her truth is not everyone's reality, if she had a bad experience with a scammer she shouldn't be insulting everyone as if they are all criminals. The Americans that have worked with nice people and having a pleasant time did those people that helped them fall from the sky.
Was she expecting to see macdonalds at evey corner whining about snack and goats roaming...smh.
She should have dropped top dollar for a posh neighborhood
It's not so much the truths as it is the inaccuracies...

Agree
NEVER COMPARE AFRICA TO THE WEST OR AMERICA LEARN ABOUT AFRICA BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO GO THERE.
Exactly. Y'all only got no air conditioning in 5% of y'all houses. Def ain't the west.

I know right?...these 1st world black refugees running to Africa think it's a 1st world nation ....😂😂..but the Chinese can go there and thrive....and also why are we so adverse to living in basic ways..why does everything have to be so luxurious?..
@@CashCowz962 Because again, those are the rich Chinese thriving and living in their own luxurious areas they build in our homeland Africa and tell Africans they are not allowed in their restaurants, etc they have built on African soil. That's how they can thrive.
I love how you are blunt and bold. Just tell facts...
Thank you
Don't sugar code..
You are smart sistah
What's their UA-cam channel?
The problem is you can't expect an "American" lifestyle, regardless of what country you go to outside of America.
ABSOLUTELY!
That is the point so true🙌
That's so on point. Thank you!
Very true. I tell the same to people moving to the America. Don’t move here with the exception of keeping your culture. Moving here will wash your culture away in 2 generations.
@@taurus3alexis that’s the biggest reason my Nigerian husband wants to move back to Nigeria. He doesn’t want his kids to lose his Igbo culture. Well we will combine our cultures ... South Africa and Nigeria . Currently we are in Japan where we met and our kids were born .
I am a Nigerian and I know this is precisely how we treat our very own in Africa. It is very sad to see how disappointed she felt coming back home. If they are mistreated in The USA and got it even worse in Africa, Where then should they call home. Cheating is bad dame It!
My Black friends have it worse in china and japan because some asian resturants don't like black people
There is no worse when it comes to scandal & mistreatment. It's horrible to experience & sad to get it from those you want to come & unite & build with.
Do your homework. I HAVE lived in Accra twice. Been to Accra four times. Where was she living ? Learn the habits of locals , other AA..these are hustlers and not your everyday people...shm... Learn how to tip..and keep an open mind . AFTICA does not want to be like America.. you should be honest and speak on pros and cons. and not on your mistreatment ( angered blames). .. you speak biased like a European or CNN narratives. Stay America gurl...When I was in Holland , there was an American couple that sounded exactly the way you talk now. I laughed so hard...I called it spoiled brainwashed American brats. This plan does not resolve around America only......

@@estelaangeles2346 That’s crazy, cuz I’ve never had a problem in Japan. At some point I would’ve thought they were way too accepting of me lol
@@franklagos1303 dont even sound like u from America lol
I feel this couple. I like the way they told their truths. An intelligent person can easily follow the intent of which they coming from. Thanks for the view, cause I have an interest in The Motherland. And it gave more in-sight, things for consideration. And I pray that God keep blessing your family. And bro your so right. A lot of these people that don't understand haven't lived any type of true life to speak on. Most never been off the block, let alone out the city.
Africans and Afro-American aren't the same!
you are in Ghana, and Ghana is very very small compared to the whole of Africa. so stop saying, Africa.
That's the annoying part. They never stop using the word AFRICA. Whoever taught them Geography
Thank you!!! This needs to be top comment
@@scrambledeggs1618 these people feeling like they are something, they should come to Nigeria and see how massively irrelevant they are. nonsense.
So sad that they expect the country to adapt to them and their ways. She was hard to listen to. Too much swearing. Being a lady and polite does not make you weak. They should have visited a few times and learn the ways of the people first and the economy before moving.
@@agberodongetinternet8651 And that’s why they are mad, they felt irrelevant 😂.
This is what happens when you watch all those UA-cam videos from Americans moving there "living the good life". Cant always trust the hype
Yup just like those black people who moved to Atlanta, GA without a job or place to stay, with 10 dollars in their bank account...making UA-cam videos for money
After the WALL fell, Eastern Europe was dirt cheap, one guy lived well in Czech Republic for a YEAR on $1,000! It got nationwide coverage, 60 minutes I think. Next year prices sky rocketed, and he had to move!
He found another cheap place, but wouldn't say where!!
You should try south Africa.....its similar to what you are used to in America......I know life can be very difficult in the north of Africa but people should really try the south side there is Botswana and south Africa and many more
Watch @the real south Africa
Don't believe the hype. 😂
Her pain and experiences are real. However, she is really upset about not having her SNACKS!
Looks like she found alternatives.
Did she find a job in Africa?
I will visit other countries but i will never give up my soft good life in America. I travel and visit places but i will never move out of America. People can say what they want about America but we black Americans live a good soft life in America, black Americans were born into a great country compared to Africa i don't care what anyone think.
I know this isn't supposed to be funny but 🤣🤣🤣 she got me crying 😭
She need them snacks
I need sis channel😩🤣 She is talking about her perspective and has every right to. We cannot look through rose colored glasses.
Fr not one person mentioned her channel lol
Type KNK squad that’s their channel 🥰
@@logicali9575 thank you!
Yesss
I love her tenacity, now get your butt back to america...
This is all facts! I have been to Ghana twice and experienced this on my second visit, it was the worst feeling ever… strangers, the people you know, etc everybody (!) is trynna take some money from you! It is how they hustle each other. Trust nobody!
Where is she living in Accra ?Not having food? Now that’s not true maybe the food she likes. All Africans are weak ? Wow. People, it may not sound like much but your demeanour and general attitude also goes along way towards how people get along with you. Just saying.
I agree they attracted the energy they gave. But no way did you have Ghanaian "friends" or did your research and paided what they paid. 100 a day for housing?? I've seen airbnb way less. If you are in Accra is $$$
What annoying is that its the same nonsense we hear from white saviours on the continent. If you dont care to understand why Africa is the way it is maybe dont bother coming because we are tired!
@Planet Mars Lol
With her personality I see why she was given the short end of the stick. She comes ready to fight, she has a preset negative attitude.
@@spandegwa I bet the fact that she is American and on the big side....people possibly viewed her as lazy and has the money to match. I hear alot of people who are native to another country talk about how when people are big sized they are viewed as lazy. I won't say all people think this however the people I have talked to think this way. It seems like she is talking down on Africa due to her isolated experiences. Has she talked to anyone else that shared her experience? Does she know her actual goals when she went there? She says she doesn't need anyone....everyone needs someone on some type of level. I dont like the fact she is talking about her experience like it represents the whole country where she decided to conduct business etc.... She hasn't said anything that doesn't happen in America ....heck there are some places in America that she would never be accepted nor would she be able to thrive there. I know so many folks that have moved to Africa that are thriving business people and I know people that moved to Atlanta and didnt like it so they moved back to their home state. Everyone will experience things based on their spirit, attitude, and goals. You are what you attract whether we want to accept that or not and this universal law applies no matter where you go. I am not into bashing folks that share their experiences with the world, I'm sure what she said is what she felt. The man that spoke after her was absolutely right when he said there are people that are messed up everywhere you go however, for every messed up person there is the opposite and moving forward those should be the ones you seek to surround yourself with.
The comments are sad , can y’all just try to understand their experience while living in Ghana .🤦♂️
Thank you
Exactly.
For real!!!
She’s telling the absolute truth. Why can’t y’all ask an Africa living in America to tell the Godly truth before moving to Africa. Why don’t y’all think of African struggling to come to America and dying 10s of 1000 dying every year crossing the Mediterranean to Europe.
@@williams7578 Oh please stop watching the news. MOST black Africans in Europe went there with a visa. Working visa, student visa, family visa. Yes some risk their lives because they don't see hope in the COUNTRIES they are from. But do you know the percentage? Nope, because they don't want to show you that the majority of Africans stay in their own countries. 90% of the ones who choose to migrate do it in other AFRICAN COUNTRIES where they have better opportunities. The 10% left who choose to leave the continent go to France, the US, Canada, China, Russia, the UK, Belgium, Australia.... And most of those leave with a VISA. And guest what many of those also choose to go back to their continent (same country or a different one) after a while. And let's not pretend that foreigners do not move to the continent too. From Americans, to Chinese, to Portuguese, to French to British people they are all other the continent and they were the ones to come first uninvited so what are they complaining about now...
You expect Africans to tell you a lie so you would feel more comfortable... Ask 20 Africans from 20 different countries and they will tell you 20 different stories. Anybody with commun sense would first visit a country several times and learn about the country (food, religion, politics, health system, real estate, banking system, schools, currency stability, economy) and make sure they have at least a few strong connections there, or that means they are READY to struggle and learn the hard way. That's how you move to an other continent. Even Africans who risk their life by boat to go to Europe know that. That's the lesson 101 of moving abroad.
You are so brave! You in a wrong country! Ghanaians go to every country in the world and expect to be treated well! Shame on them for treating you this way! You are so strong!Dont give up! Africa needs you!Please stay you two!❤🇦🇺🇿🇦
I’m so glad she was so honest I think you have to go to the rich areas with actually nice homes some parts of Africa I already know I don’t want to go to based of the dust alone I once had a I’m getting in roommate and he told me all about how he grew up there I would have to go somewhere like Rwanda 🇷🇼
Love Rwanda
Sounds like she was totally unprepared for the move - culturally, mentally, and financially.
Financially more like it...

You would think by now Africans have done something for themselves after our ancestors left. After being controlled by the whiteman . They could do better their people because the world needs there natural resources. You let them come take everything and not do anything for you and your people.
