As Jamaican born in Montego Bay, raised in Washington DC, my first girlfriend now my wife is a Ghanain, we have 2 kids. I have opportunity to visit Ghana for 6 times, we are also building apartments in ABURI MOUNTAINS for rent. Any time I come to Ghana, my blood pressure is very low, 24 hours before leaving to the United States, my blood pressure also going up, I can even sleep in the night in DC. We are currently back to Ghana with our kids for 4 weeks vacation. 95 percent of our apartments are almost done, we'll moved back for good December this year 2022 to Ghana because Africa the Motherland is a paradise to live🌍🇬🇭🇯🇲🌲🌴🌳🤜🏿🤛🏿
Well done bro
You make me cry like a baby. Home sweet Home
I wish you the best in Ghana.
Post your rentals link when you can.
Hi .it was nice to stumble on this interview, I feel exactly how this gentleman feels like, having lived in Ghana from age 9 to 19 .my parents are Russian descent. We left Ghana 1979 but Ghana never left me . I have bin living in Canada ever since, but Ghana never left me I will always be that white African boy that I am proud of.
When are you coming to visit
Once Ghana always Ghana
Is astonishing a German born in Ghana, knows more about Ghana than many Ghanaians. If that's a thing
I am of Indian origin but was born in Takoradi...Ghana in 1952. My Dad had a business there for many years.
We left for good in 1970 to Dubai.
My hometown ❤️
I salute people who accept the positive culture of the place where they live.
True but sometimes they enjoyed the privileges of the culture and so they only see the positives
He is in Africa stetting up business can we do that in his country mane how slow are we
@@TitanMind1
White people have more experience building functional societies.
Africa should be the greatest place to live on, but it isn't, because Africans still haven't figured out how to build functional societies.
@@francmittelo6731 lol do you know your history Sankara built a railway for his people this are the effects of oppression, so you wanna say we where just chillin until we met the white man sad and racist our societies where systematically destroyed look up king Casper civilized west Europe
@@francmittelo6731 don’t forget he was killed by the white French
This man is a true true ghanian with culture. God is great and life is strange you can be a black man but your soul belongs to western world and you can be white with your soul in Africa. Soul is the real in us
Fantastic interview and for me personally very recognizable having lived and worked in the 1980's in Ghana myself .
@Yaya Yaya choose your words wisely
@Yaya Yaya critical thinking
@Yaya Yaya how can say something so racist and incentive and say you stand by them? do you even know @gidie ritzerveld ?
@Yaya Yaya it is puzzling what are you doing here and what drives you to say the things you do? You must have an idle mind?

The guy is very sensible. He's real and has people's skills. Live in the UK but Ghana will be my final destination in the future. GH all any day.
I know Yao. He was a young 7 to 10 year old, when his mum brought him to work occasionally. I worked with his mum at the Ghana National Museums and Monuments Board. His mum was the Librarian and I was an Administrative Assistant at the Registry of the administrative department of GMMB. This was in the seventies. Dr Joyce Aryee worked there too, as Senior Administrative Officer.
Wow
Wow.. link up
@@thyeocroft205 Will be great. He was always a likeable little boy and he is the same now, as the interview shows. All staff were fond of him.
Wow! I got tears in my eyes. I have fond memories of joining my Mom to the museum way back then. 🥰
@@Yaovan Oh Yao, I have nostalgia now, recalling your visits with your hard working, lovely mum, who organised the library scientifically. She is a great woman and lived "the human relationships in Ghana" which you talk about in the interview. Glad to see you living the life you have in Ghana, which is your home in the real and practical sense of the word. Merry Christmas and Afihyia Pa in advance, with more and more and more success and prosperity.
YAO van Landwijk, I love the way this man sees life... fantastic interview!!!
Mr Yao has said the Truth Ghanaians are not lazy you have to pay them well they'll work hard for you
@ Mark Opoku Mensah I think this is true for every nation, a well endowed salary will be matched with 💯 commitment
@@felicitascunningham9008 you lie. African's are lazy and I know this because it's just in our tradition and culture to think poverty short term rather long term to build the pay you want
@@MrJoennachi Speak for yourself. Africa consists of 54 countries and we are not this homogeneous entity that people make us to be. Maybe in your part of the continent you are lazy and lack ambition, but that is not the case for the whole continent
I agree with this. A well paid employee will not scramble to make ends. Underpay them and they’ll steal from you to survive
Ana, I can’t believe you kept this gem of an interview - which I adjudge your best so far on Ghana - hidden until now! This is a crime! Now you know why you are depressed in Europe. The lack of human relationships is so sad. We may be poor in Ghana, but we know how to touch each other with our humanity. Here in New York City, you dare not look in someone’s face or make eye contact when you are sitting in a crowded train or bus. You have to pretend you don’t see each other. On another point; the other day, I posted on an expatriate forum that the police and those at the airport in Ghana beg for tips and not bribes and do so because it is impossible for them to live on their salaries. From what Yao has told you, you now know how difficult things are for the average Ghanaian worker. With all the lockdowns and whatnots in Europe, I know you, your husband and kids will definitely find your way back to Ghana again and you would not be happier! Wishing your family the best of the season! Keep the gems coming!
@CAPTAIN HOOK in the big cities people don't just greet each other.
Years ago Europe too was just like "warm, simple" Ghana/Africa until they became developed. As Ghana's becoming a developed country, we'd also become like"cold" Europe if we don't consciously plan out our development
Call nana for what he is, a wolf under ship clothing
Where are you living in NYC? Because where l am it not like what you are saying.
This is universal and more common in big cities. I experienced that when I lived in New York but it was a completely different experience when I moved to Pittsburgh, a mid-sized city, where complete strangers could be friendly towards you.
We studied it in sociology class at the City University of New York under the German names gesellschaft and gemeinschaft. Hence, its universalness.
I know where Yao grew up in Accra, Alogboshie. It's a ghetto now. Most have been nice back in the day.
And, yes, he has a beautiful mind. I've met him a couple of times. He's a master of his craft!
Eti sen
Wo ho te sen
As a Nigerian/American, who has been to Ghana over 4x, both as a child, and doing work as an adult, including to villages, who has also been to Achimota, and toured the girls secondary schl as a child, I absolutely loved this!
Loved what he said about increased wages and benefits. Started a new role and have never been around a more happier productive team, and this is the reason why! When you take care of your workers, they are happy and want to do well for the company.
Medase pa to Anna and uncle Yao for this amazing interview. It blessed me much!
Its always true,once born a Ghanaian,there is this urge in you that pulls you home no matter where you find yourself ,you feel like coming back home to start something instead
I am not African, do not know how I found this, and I am not even Dutch. I found this video fascinating. I also enjoyed your son in the background playing with the sweet yellow dog. You have such a nice way about you.
Such a wonderful interview. Very informative and down to earth.
Thanks for this video. After 50yrs, I finally know why everybody in Alogboshie was Ewe. I lived near to the main road from 1970 - 1972, next to what was then Pavillion, (later became Neoplan, I think) after which I relocated to Assylum Down. I also had all my friends in the village and the only shop if I recall was for Mr Yawtey?? Great childhood memories for me during this period/ Thanks again.
There a lot to learn from this Dutch man. Am really impressed with the accurate analysis and solutions he provides for doing business in Ghana. Great segment.
This video just made me so nostalgic....I have been to Ghana countless times but now I live in Germany.....just saying hello and chatting and laughing with people in the street or bus is NON EXISTENT here. Lovely content....
Great interview!!!! More like this!! Agreed Ghanaians aren't lazy, paying horrible isn't right!
I LOVE that story about the pay!!! People are the same EVERYWHERE. We do not exist to make YOU rich ONLY. Try it if you want to and see what type of work you get in return. LOL Covid is teaching the WHOLE United States this which is far overdue! If you underpay, but expect devotion and a good attitude, you're a whole fool. **smh**
When I grow up I want to live like Yao. Simple meaningful life
I love the fact that you still have African at your back no matter how the discrimination . Keep pushing africa high. The acheampong family.. we support you guys
Anna, he seemed to espouse so many of the values and virtues that you identify with concerning Ghana. Particularly interesting was how he enjoys living in that area vs Accra; the freedom and safety the kids enjoy there; the human interactions; the sentiment about northern European weather/climate; etc. Interesting that this was shared when it was shared. We pray wisdom, favor, peace and courage for your family. The pages of your next chapter have not yet been written. This is just a pause. You've been blessed with a broader perspective of what is possible. God bless you all as your family pursue purpose, your passions and what's possible (rather than just what's common.)
Nicely said…

Beautifully summarised
Great interview! Yao seems to understand the privilege in which he was born. He appears to have embraced the country, its people and the cultures in all their glory. A true testament to Anna's interviewing style which has made this such an enjoyable watch. Well done!!
Watching this intently like it’s a Tony Robbins Leadership training session. Kudos to Anna indeed for asking open ended questions, listening and allowing him to narrate his perspectives.
What I’d love to ask him is if white/European people in his network make condescending remarks about blacks/Ghanaians in his presence not knowing his background, how does he handle that? Curious Pete over here asking!
@@WonLotto100M hardly ever, really. I mostly hear these negative comments in Europe and the USA/other “Western” countries.
Uncle Yao hit the nail right on the head, you feel human and not strange in Ghana.
This man understand the standard of living in Ghana more than some of we Ghanaians
There's something about Ana. She's very calm, polite etc.
My mum is Ewe. I love Ghana, this was a really good interview, is nice to hear the story directly from the horses mouth.
i totally agree that everyone should be forced to travel around the world to see what diversity means especially to demystify the myth about Africa and for Africans to build confidence..... great interview once again. very knowledgeable man .we should just pray Africa and for that reason Ghana is not automated like europe, we must protect our values and human relations.Cheers
Anna, this interview was fantastic and what he is saying is universal. I'm sure employers in other contries all over the world could benifit from his words/knowledge.
"The most paranoid people are often the biggest thieves." That's a word!
Best interview so far Anna 👌! He is so genuine and says it as it is but at the same time throwing a positive light on life in Ghana as a whole. I like the part where he mentioned, the better you pay people to work and show care, the more they put in their best and the company flourishes like in the west. A very neat and educative interview. Love it 😀.
Even though you guys live in the Netherlands now I still enjoy your Ghana vlogs better . Great video 🔥
Awesome interview. Makes one appreciate Ghana and Africa more especially the warmnes of human interaction, which is so key to living a happy life. Thanks Anna!
Exactly! Lovely people, lovely conversation.
I always look forward to your great interviews, I'm a Ghanaian but lives in South Africa
Wow! I really learned a lot from this interview it’s fantastic! I am an African living in the Netherlands, Netherlands is changing too many apartments building being constructed in every space it is terrible no more farm land that had me saying wow! When I first got here. Yes the life here is no fun you feel like you are in prison. Anyway thanks for this lovely interview. God blessed.
I am proud of you brother Yaw that you make your country Ghana proud and I thank God for people like you.
I literally smiled all the way through this video. Yao and his story is fascinating 🤨! Thanks Ana for sharing this incredible interview!
I love love love the title!!!
Loved the interview. You did a great job!
Ana thank you very much, this is really the most interesting interview I have listened to from all your videos. God richly bless you 😊 ☺ 💖 ❤ 💕 💓
By far the best interview
Loved the interview - key take seats:
- human interactions is very important
- if you treat employees right and show you care they’ll take care of your business
Best interview and perhaps video yet. I thoroughly enjoyed the interface.
Oh wow, I can't believe this man grew up in Alogboshie Achimota same place I was born and grew up.
one of the best so far Anna...
Very informative and enjoyable. Thank you Anna, and Yao!
Thank you so much for this convo... This is very educative and eye opening.
Great interview. Lovely. Enjoyed it.

He has a Ghanaian accent ❤️
Good people, greetings to you all.Way to the new year.
Hoping for peace and a happy new year.
Thank you for uploading.
This interview blew me away. Great job Anna👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This was a great conversation, Anna.
Anna, I always enjoy your interviews...thank you for another great one...
Anna, this was perfect, I will finish watching, but had to leave this reaction to Yao doubling wages, so many Ghanaian friends are struggling for work, and being offered wages that are not livable in Accra, that might only cover rent, or sometimes not even transport to and from work, to be then accused of stealing. No wonder the business turned around, things need to change for the better for Ghanaians and Ghana!
That's what the Ghanaian employer does. The Ghanaian employer only wants to live lavishly and to get societal respect.
Great interview. I really love it
Beautiful story.
Gentlemen.im with this man
