    To tell you a true story, my uncle who has been laboring in the USA for the past 19years finally repatriate back home to Ghana last month. He's now about 60years old. Upon meeting him at the airport, I was almost in tears seeing him looking much older than my 70years old dad living in Ghana, and he is also suffering from diabetes. That's how come I did believe that America is not ''Heaven " as being propagated.

    Thanks Nana. Very true. Look at how your skin is glowing, real vitamin D effect. Just got back from Ghana and I’m so down and stress over the rat race in the west. Can’t wait to finish my project and relocate. Ghana is where my heart really is. We have real people to interact with on the daily basis and not just on social media and people are less stress. Despite all the riches in the west, people are still not happy. Chasing materialistic will not make one happy. Let’s be content and appreciate the little we have. Ghana might not have everything in place but we have our peace of mind. It’s also nice to share our knowledge and education with people back home, who lacks exposure. Well done and thank you for sharing x

    I’ve decided that I want to spend the last years of my life in a warm country, the land of my ancestors. I was born in England and fortunately I have also lived and schooled in Trinidad and Lagos. I hope to visit in 2021 and move to live in Ghana from London in 2022. I hope to establish an after school project for children to learn about farming or similar.

    Thanks a lot for sharing... I completely agree and can relate to the point about being realistic about what to expect when you move back and preparing practically for it.... I personally do not think it is such an illogical idea in the way you put it in the beginning of your video. Like you went on to describe, there are tradeoffs to being in either place... for one you may sacrifice convenience, for the other, wellness and peace of mind... either option has it's pros and cons... I don't really like the narrative of moving home being this big deal that doesn't make sense, because (and I'm glad you addressed this honestly) that being in the states really isn't "heaven/jollof"

    • @NanaAshanti

    And a question: Why would you not do a Ph.D in the US?

    • @NanaAshanti
      @NanaAshanti  5 років тому

      For vain reasons. I would want to get a good and timeless topic for my research and I'd rather its in another country, in a culture i am not familiar with.

      I don't think you understood what I meant. Manhattan is not luxurious either.

      I have come across many such PhDs from Finland to Eastern Europe but the language requirement always seems like a blockage plus i don't know that I'll get a topic I'm interested in from that region. I'll look into it though. Thanks.
