I see nothing wrong with this video ... Vanessa is a Ghanaian and she has every right to criticize the government for not doing the right thing ... I'm proud of you girl keep it up 👍
@@richrateafrica27 We need to have highlighted some of these things. They are positives in themselves. The government or private companies or inidividual will appreciate the seriousness of it and deal with that.. Vanessa is right here
On a whole there is definitely something wrong with this video, the government over there is so corrupt they've let it get to this stage. But as far as what your talking about i agree everyone should have the right to point out the terrible job they are doing running the country regardless of sex or even where they are from. Obviously that government has basically run that country into the ground to put all the money to south africa
This video is 5 months old as of January 2020, and Wodemaya started his Africa to the world movement around January 2019 or earlier than that. So i think he was at the very least mistaken when he said this video was the main inspiration for his Africa to the world tour on UA-cam. Also this video does an amazing job of highlighting a very important problem which is the pollution in this part of Ghana. It doesn't misrepresent Ghana's image in my opinion. It is far better for us to be aware of problems like this so that we can think of possible solutions than sweep it under the rug and act like its all good here. Thanks for making a video like this because even though I've been in Accra all my life I never knew the extent of this problem.
he was'nt mistaken, is just a liar, he thinks he smarter than the viewers so he can get away with this *************** i had already commentabout this on this channel
@@vianscoloscotubetv7555 Call Wode Maya a liar or whatever you like. But I don't think he is. He never said he opened UA-cam because of this. He has been operating his UA-cam channel in China, trying to tell the Chinese the African stories the Chinese media hide from them. But this video triggered him to triggered him to come back to Africa and do videos that will focus on the beautiful zones of Africa. If you read the testimonies of the Africans in diaspora on Wode Maya page, you will understand the importance of showcasing the beauty of Africa. When the whites come here to shoot video, they do that in the slums, but hide the slums in their country away from the camera. Wode Maya is doing just great.
As an American, I did not know of Agbogbloshie. This was an eye-opening! I am planning my trip to Ghana. Thanks for the knowledge. This was your truly best!
You are proud of who??? Has she gone to all the world to see all the world's e-waste . who are those in agbobloshie doing this dirty business??? Are they not all foreigners from Nigeria, Niger, Mali Burkina doing this dirty ewaste harvesting to survive????
Abimel Macdan Am proud of Nessa, I don’t care about what is happening in other countries, I do care about my country and her country too, she is smart that is she is drawing attention to what if not checked will affect me and her our beloved Ghana. Sia.
@@abimelmacdan8800 So...according to you, you cannot constructively criticize african countries to improve until the rest of world's problems have been fixed? If that is the case, then Ghana should remain underdeveloped and Ghanaians should continue to leave their countries fro the West (sarcasm). You sir are part of the problem, Ghanaians and Ghanaian diasporans have the right to expect better.
@@abimelmacdan8800 Blaming other Countries as usual especially Nigeria for everything. Every Country of the world have slums and non of them ever blame other Countries except Ghana 🇬🇭. Ghanaians will be over hyping their Country as it's perfect.
Great job, Vanessa Kanbi! I came here via Wode Maya. I find this video very educative and I'm now one of your biggest fans. You seem to be an intelligent person with a pure heart. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing this part of Ghana. You present things so well. I hope that this place can be regenerated for the safety of the people that are working there. Ghana is indeed a beautiful country, but like all countries there are also negative aspects.
Wode Maya sent me here, vanessa don’t mind him though 😂. I’m in Ghana 🇬🇭 and I have no idea where agblogbloshie is. It is Nice documentary, the Best video ever ❤️.
Thank you so much for your documentary showing us where electronic devices end up after they have been consumed: in dump sites in Africa or in developing countries. This coverage of where used electronic equipment end up is very well-done, making me think twice about the purchases I make or plan to make in the future and its impact on human lives and the environment. But I also know that this knowledge will not stop me from buying more electronic devices because that is the future; but I would hope that this information and the awareness that this documentary brings will help us all think again about moving to create more environmentally-friendly and safe electronic products, both as producers and consumers!
UA-cam and platforms like these are the future for content creators, Big media is no longer the way to go. She has more freedom and flexibility by creating her own content and also untapped financial potential than working for BBC as in house reporter where her content will be controlled to create a certain narrative. You don't need traditional media to give you credibility anymore.
Vanessa this was well done. Like you seriously could do more documentary style videos to highlight all aspects of Ghana. This is award-worthy storytelling.
Lol Right. It’s crazy they will talk so much shiii about Africans Americans and they’re dealing with similar things like this and even SARs in Nigeria. We should all be United
Excellent work! I don’t understand why anyone would be mad at this documentary. This needs to be seen. We cannot hide the bad parts of Africa and silence the stories of some of it’s people for the sake of changing the narrative. There might be money in Ghana but the fact is the majority of people are poor. If we keep sugar coating it, that will never change. We must tell both stories.
Vanessa this is good. Wode Maya and co can give us only the positive side of Africa . We don't mind you giving us the negative or both. If it wasn't you,I wouldn't have known something like this is happening in Ghana
Ghana. Accra. Agbogbloshie. Minutes after watching this video, these words👆👆 keep ringing in my head. I had to come back and make this comment. What an introduction!💯
Vanessa, this is the best and crisp documentary I have listened and watched from you.. Digging deep to highlight things which will set us back should be a positive way forward.. This is an excellent narrative.
Nicely done film. Accurate, correct. I was there last year. Most of the mass media overlooks the fact that these people here work for their money. That is laudable.
This is excellent journalism. These people need a voice, the country needs a voice and the planet needs a voice. The voice of capitalism drowns them all out. I’m glad someone is speaking.
Masterful journalism, clearly you have the freedom to speak your truth as you find and see it, that is an extremely precious thing to have where genuine creativity is so often under corporate control.
Very nice video; short, concise documentary. This is educative, informative and motivational (highlights a call to action). I guess Mr. Maya now views it from a more informed and positive perspective (highlighting a local environmental issue); one which calls for more effort to make Ghana an even better place to live.
Surprised Wode Maya did not like this. This is a good & ‘positive’ critique of a necessary disaster, and someone needs to bring it to the fore. You did just that.. You can have 1 million ticks from me. I listen to Wode Maya’s comment on this... Actually a negative like this can be over-consumptive and cancel out all the good things achieved in Ghana. The government should not cover this up and Wode should not either.. I am a fan of both of you, but I fully agreed with you publicising this..
Good thing is that the Greater Accra Regional Minister has demolished the site and they're clearing it. If they re-develop the site, it will be nice if you made an update video, like.. before and after video I'd love to watch a video like that
I live in the UK but used to live in East Africa for 22 years. What we want to see and feel is the real life in Africa, not the posh tourist hotels, not the game reserves. Congrats to Vanessa, more please of the slum areas because it is only by showing the real situation, that it can be improved. It is not bad to show the poorest parts of Africa, we know too there are expensive hotels too, but it is more informative to show us the places where ordinary visitors cannot easily visit. Welcome to post videos on my new channel called Slum Scenes 2020. Let us all appreciate places like Agbogbloshie.
I feel so sick for buying computers and iPods and stuff. Seeing this makes me think how none of this stuff breaks down. It’s disgusting how these countries get our garbage. I don’t think people understand this. Great video, this is eye opening
The reality is we In Africa as everywhere in the world we've our good side and the bad. we always focus on racism and racism comes in a different shape and form. one of it is this E - waste which is dumbed in an African land , sea or ocean , so what Vanessa did is an eye opener for the world to see. the crime be it the local or the international authorities do to the local people , animals and the land are all affected. I think she should be rewarded for it not criticized. *I'm Maya !*
Hi Vanessa, this the video that got me to subscribe to your channel and was the start of your journey in creating Ghana oriented content. Would love for you to do a follow-up on what has been done since this video has been created.
It is survival! I do it in Jamaican here and it has made millions for people I know and hundreds of thousands for me that reaches into the millions if summed up.
Vanessa welcome back, half to see another videos from you. I love this Cinimatic look of this video. What's your instagram account pls. Won't to connect with you
Hi Vanessa, I'm John. A master of Architecture student researching into E-waste in Ghana and come up with a modern E-waste recycling plant... I would be glad if you can help share some of your encounter with me via any means. Thanks
A large amount is purchased though auction in the US and sent by people that live there. Seen this first hand I’m sure there’s counties send it there to.
The development of a country is always done at the cost of the martyrs of certain citizens. it is horrible, it is sad but these poor brave citizens of Agbogbloshe, are the martyrs of the development of Ghana. I sincerely wish the end of the horror to Agbogbloshe. Young intelligent and beautiful woman, your work here is essential and complementary to that of other youtubers like Wode Maya
It’s a horrible self created economy, that destroys its own workers over time. Like a trap that brings people to try and make a life through the recycling of Electonic- waste, yet takes it in exchange. I hope the project, funded by Kenya will be set in place soon and that the danger’s, do to environment and work conditions, decreases.
It's hard to admit but this is true and I have seen worst places than this area. Most people have no idea on how to dispose off electronics in Ghana. Ghana as a whole doesn't have good waste disposal system. Usually they try to burn them or bury them in landfills. I still have breathing problems even years after moving from Ghana abroad because my school was close to a place where the whole community disposed off refuse and it was burnt there. Due to the direction of the wind the fumes passed through the school and all these young kids inhale this causing problems later in life.
I am going to be honest. I did not like this video when i first saw it. After watching you and Wode Maya's video, i realised my dislikeness. I appreciate the importance now. This will bring awareness to E-waste and the effects on the environment in Ghana. It is always the less fortunate that suffer. Thank you Vanessa for doing what you do. From a Ghanaian in the diaspora, your videos keep reminding me of my beautiful country and the potential it has. I am a subscriber now and just started following you on IG. Thank you
Thank you. I think a lot of people didn’t realise my intention with this video until that video with Wode Maya. I appreciate your comment and thanks for subscribing 🙌🏽
I make diy projects so its a dream place for me 🥺 Here i can get so much stuff to make diy projects As i dont have much money to buy these things im poor
My goodness brother Mystafa I’m sorry ohhh 20 years in a unsafe environment. What on earth my people! How how can developed countries do this???? What is the government doing?
Jasmine Adjei they come from Africa and illegally export rubbish to Africa to make money you see them at Tilbury docks filling containers it’s not our governments faults Africans are doing this
No correlation to flooding but contaminates or pollutes the river and the environment where the activity is taking place killing the fish and other species residing within the river.
This is very shameful to see. This is what is happening all around the world. The developed countries always dump their wastes on the less developed ones for money in return. Like my country Ghana it received money to build recycling plants and machines that will be used to recycle all these e-wastes.in order to reduce the negative impact on the lives of people living near the waste dump sites. The government of has received the money but refused to build a facility that can recycle these e-wastes. Therefore given the opportunity for the unemployed in the society to create a job for themselves in order to make a living. This is so sad. African leaders wake up and stop this nonsense. We have sold our precious continent to the white folks. Our people sold through slavery. We have sold our gold diamonds oils timber cocoa coffee bauxite uranium and all to these developed countries to advance their economies for a small amount of money. Our people of Africa continue to be poor because of this. And now look at this. Even after extraction of the best part from these minerals and produce they will come and dump the waste product into Africa again at the expense of the lives of our people. What an insult. African governments must stop all these bullshits going on in our continent. This is why the white man will never respect African people because they always think we are stupid. Let’s break this cycle ourselves please. Never again shall we allow these developed countries and white communities to trample on us as Africans. Let’s wake up. Let’s share this video all over the world folks.
Jennifer Hammond its from ghana itslef. Have you heard it. I know its old stuff from developed countries but their country isnt doing much aboit it either.
I have 2 screwdrivers, a knife, a hammer, and some pliers and that’s all I need to salvage copper from wires and old electronics, I’ve never burned it to get the metals, but Europe and America needs to have stricter control about e waste too
repair, recycle reuse, these RRR only can solve all waste type problem, be it plastic or e waste. e.g try to use a phone more than a year atleast do not run for Every new coming TV for fridge, try to avoid in neccesay electronic product most important try to make product, your self, as our ancestor did
What , are you kidding me .the dump of " Toxic Waste " Very harmful , this not good for kids . chemical waste could hurt them , if they breathe it in a defined lengthy of time . " POWERFUL VIDEO " thank you .

The reality is we In Africa as everywhere in the world we've our good side and the bad. we always focus on racism and racism comes in a different shape and form. one of it is this E - waste which is dumbed in an African land , sea or ocean , so what Vanessa did is an eye opener for the world to see. the crime be it the local or the international authorities do to the local people , animals and the land are all affected.

Jasmine Adjei they come from Africa and illegally export rubbish to Africa to make money you see them at Tilbury docks filling containers it’s not our governments faults Africans are doing this
i like the blurring of the background
My mum told me this is causing more floodings issues in Accra 😢
addy Anthony really sad
No correlation to flooding but contaminates or pollutes the river and the environment where the activity is taking place killing the fish and other species residing within the river.
@@arodiboyi more likely in fact!
I really hope Africa can be financially stable and safe. (off👉topic) Those murder factories need to be stopped. (Mr. Ballen video)
This is very shameful to see. This is what is happening all around the world. The developed countries always dump their wastes on the less developed ones for money in return. Like my country Ghana it received money to build recycling plants and machines that will be used to recycle all these e-wastes.in order to reduce the negative impact on the lives of people living near the waste dump sites. The government of has received the money but refused to build a facility that can recycle these e-wastes. Therefore given the opportunity for the unemployed in the society to create a job for themselves in order to make a living. This is so sad. African leaders wake up and stop this nonsense. We have sold our precious continent to the white folks. Our people sold through slavery. We have sold our gold diamonds oils timber cocoa coffee bauxite uranium and all to these developed countries to advance their economies for a small amount of money. Our people of Africa continue to be poor because of this. And now look at this. Even after extraction of the best part from these minerals and produce they will come and dump the waste product into Africa again at the expense of the lives of our people. What an insult. African governments must stop all these bullshits going on in our continent. This is why the white man will never respect African people because they always think we are stupid. Let’s break this cycle ourselves please. Never again shall we allow these developed countries and white communities to trample on us as Africans. Let’s wake up. Let’s share this video all over the world folks.
Jennifer Hammond its from ghana itslef. Have you heard it. I know its old stuff from developed countries but their country isnt doing much aboit it either.
I have 2 screwdrivers, a knife, a hammer, and some pliers and that’s all I need to salvage copper from wires and old electronics, I’ve never burned it to get the metals, but Europe and America needs to have stricter control about e waste too
repair, recycle reuse,
these RRR only can solve all waste type problem, be it plastic or e waste.
e.g
try to use a phone more than a year atleast
do not run for Every new coming TV for fridge,
try to avoid in neccesay electronic product
most important try to make product, your self, as our ancestor did
Good video, very informative .... :)))
What , are you kidding me .the dump of " Toxic Waste " Very harmful , this not good for kids . chemical waste could hurt them , if they breathe it in a defined lengthy of time . " POWERFUL VIDEO " thank you .
This is why our clouds in Florida always have a brown tint to them.
I really don't understand why people don't sell their old electronics. That's a way for people to reuse this stuff.
What can be done?
idk
