I think it is more appreciated to share contact information for your guests, such as Instagram, and full names written properly. So that we can see and find out what the person is doing in their daily life or professionally. This is my first time on this channel, but still, I really don't see much about these girls or why I should watch the full 26 minutes. I am just giving my opinion. Thank you.

@@alimtanta2934 thanks for the comment. Some guest prefer not to have their info displayed. Usually we put it in the video description. Thanks.

if she born in USA and why she speaks with weird accent. Even movies british people speak american accent

@@freespeech515 Is that import? Can you understand the message that comes across your ears???

@freespeech515 there comes the fools! Everyone has a comment! Aaaaahh!

true

Faaaaacts!

Facts Jeena. Those who wanna leave Africa are typically those who are struggling financially. Those who are doing well financially typically prefer to stay in Africa and occasionally travel abroad for a break.

It's not that people enjoy being abroad; the circumstances in Africa make it difficult to stay. You have to live there to understand. My late mom was one of the people who went to America, studied, and returned home with the hope of changing things, but corruption from the top down made it difficult. Like her, I was born in America, and we moved to Nigeria as a child. We moved back to America after secondary school. I still have relatives in Ghana, even though we are Nigerians.

Maya is such an intelligent, charming and admirable lady. Ghana needs more people like her to give the youths hope.

It’s just the voice ! His words sound more pronounced

@@gilbertbwerere His audio does sound fairly good though. Even though he seems to be using the same youtube mics a lot of other creators use.

Yeah

What her name?

Yes that's her mom madam sefa kouffman

She speaks like her

Spot on

Of course..it is optional..BYUOB

santisrock You should always want to help your home or go back. Anyone can do what they want but that mentality can still be fairly criticized, mostly because there's no sense in it. How can you have no connection to the place and people that birth you? If a person doesn't love their home/nation it's fair that those that do, don't feel positively about them either.

Absolutely 🎉…. I agree and agree a commitment to the motherland is necessary 💚🖤❤️…. Even it’s just in our hearts.. spirit.. and or soul! B1 fam Ashe’

Understandably so... but a lot of the problems with the country needs to be resolved by us in the diaspora... we cannot expect those in Ghana with less exposure than us, to move the country forward. It would be a millennium if that is our expectation

Got you. But circumstances notwithstanding, there's no place like home. I'm like you, rooted here in the States, but my heart yearns to go home every second, despite the comforts I've been fortunate to have and all the challenges out there. We are all coming - home sweet home.

@@kwaseb Ghanaians remaining in the country can do plenty as well and already are. Most of the developement that's come so far in ghana has been done by ghanaians in ghana. We can contribute more and probably move things faster and better but I disagree that they can't make significant progress without us. It might simply be incomplete

@@kwaseb Additionally, the diaspora collectively can do more than African government and elected officials

"...The youth need inspirational leadership...". Therein lies the problem, with all due respect. Some Africans waiting for "Change" to come from the "Top." We all have to be the "Change we seek and want." Bottom-up changes.

@@dejumaboutique1305 True. But you don't deny the fact that everything rises or falls on leadership, do you?

Always providing us with topical, substantial meaningful & thought provoking content! Thanks Tim!🤝🏾👏🏾😇

@@dejumaboutique1305 I agree. From the family head to the chiefs, to local and national politicians and religious leaders, every one must do something. However, the tone is set from the top. Note, I mentioned the colonial mindset of waiting for handouts. Self development + accountable leadership

@@NanaKNOwusu Can we get rid of the colonial mindset or cutting our girls hair in schools? You're right, it's certainly deeply ingrained and we self perpetuate it and aggressively protect what cultures, traditions and modes of thinking the british gave us. If we want to change it we have to be ready for it. And leadership can only do so much, most of what needs to be done has to be done by the people. This isn't to suggest that people will rise up by themselves and start doing everything, but those that want change the most and are thinking it needs to happen on a large scale are going to have to be the ones to mobilize other people and organizations themselves. We mostly only need leadership to remove certain barriers that are usually placed there by *leadership* in the first place, things to do with law etc. "Leadership" as it is now in ghana is actually best in a supporting role than a leading role Also what exactly are people asking them to do to address the specific problems they're seeing? Because people often throw out a vague "we need leadership" but rarely state clearly what exactly they want to be done. Leadership aren't engineers, they're not business men, they're not teachers etc. Many of them don't know how to do what would need to get done. We need to done a better job on how we ask for improvement

Not a case of sexual abuse OR invasion of personal space in that situation, lol But yes, in another that would have been instantaneous sexual abuse

cookiewilkins6699 That's nice. Most of them aren't usually being super generous in other scenarios though or when you go to china. They were boycotting the little mermaid recently cause she's black 😄

@@nanaasafu-adjaye4239 Depends on the person. Some people just don't like being touched, which is understandable to a degree and depending on the culture it might be sensible. If someone sees that you're clearly trying to help them I don't think most of them will claim some kind of sexual assault though. That seems way too exaggerated

Hello pure young lady. You look healthy,pretty and smart lol .

@@fredkofiodoom5499 are you shooting your shot? 😍

​@@markntiri8251😂

Make the TRANSITION fast then.....leave your COMFORTABLE ZONE and make it here on the MOTHERLAND, eat natural food,drink and feel at home through your ancestors here.Cheers 🇬🇭✔️

Most Americans have access to college than Ghanaians do, just more costly for some. I doubt if she was privilege in USA. She probably was a bit more comfortable in Ghana than the average Ghanaian, but I doubt she came from the elite background you asserted. Having American passport or education is not a passport to success. Anyone in USA, esp. us Africans who have studied & lived there will tell you. California has 200 thousand homeless in the streets. The difference is that Ghana has opportunities that no one is pointing the youths to. I understand that it may require some funding, but every success starts with good partnership & entrepreneurial drive which is not being encouraged. Some basic tools can help: If 4 young men own 5 football-field-sized (~5 hectares) of plantain farms, that is 5 X 2500 bunces (12,500). A bunch goes for about 55 cedis, 12500 x 55 = 687500 cedis, in 10 months. Value added thru restaurant & cook houses with some young ladies or turning it to flour can total 800,000 cedis. Each young man gets 200K cedis a yr. with 2 months of rest. Rollback that cash & diversify/expand. That's what I am doing with youths here at home. You get dirty, you can get ahead. Not easy but very rewarding.

I came to the US when I was only 18 right out of high school as an international Visa student..not privileged leaving Africa...😊 our goal,/ aim is only to achieve and have new experiences even at that age.. we were not even allowed to work..only work study@ the college for $75 a week...Only strive to thrive in your lif😮e..The US is prejudice. Discrimination..I was very disappointed with the US..Quite uncivilized ❤❤❤😂

@@GridSocket She is obviously from a wealthy family . She does not even look Ghanaian ! Good luck with your endeavors . People have to do what they have interest in .I have a profession that I spent years studying and I enjoy my work! I have lived in the US for 25 years and even with discrimination I have achieved great success and have reached the top of my field . The discrimination in US is more of a personal nature .It does not prevent you from getting a job or buying a house were ever you want to live ! It does not prevent you from earning a living !

@josephbrown1573 - You've taken this video as a personal attack and countered with nonsensical statements. "People have to do what they have interest in" - Sure, but where did anyone say people shouldn't do that? "I have a profession that I spent years studying and I enjoy my work" -- You are not the subject of this video. Nobody knows who you are or gives a toss. "I have lived in the US for 25 years and even with discrimination I have achieved great success and have reached the top of my field" -- I think you forgot to add, "I have zero social life, use 95% of my income to pay for housing, taxes, car note, utility bills, credit cards, have no savings and can't even afford a plane ticket to visit Ghana or take more than 2 days off work". "The discrimination in US is more of a personal nature. It does not prevent you from getting a job or buying a house were ever you want to live " -- Point us to where in the interview this lady said she returned to Ghana because she couldn't get a job or buy a house? Besides, for someone who claims to have lived in the US for 25 years as a black man, you sure are very blind to the nature of discrimination. Try this... skip a few payments on your mortgage or property taxes. Lets see how fast you'll be introduced to the REAL owners. You are living in an "illusion of inclusion" (term stolen from another KZfaqr).

​@@ConcerttoI am a white male who lives in the US. Question - if I miss several months of mortgage payments do you think I will get a different scenario than what you outlined above?

She made us proud Obaa.

Wage improvements come with a economic growth, when the GDP per capita goes up and more jobs are created, the wages will rise . Eg a place like South Africa with per capita, people earn more in wages . I bet in a place like Botswana, Gabon , Namibia, Equatorial Guinea, Mauritius, Seychelles etc , people make more too.

What's the name of where you stay with mostly populated white neighborhood ? Try and visit here in Ghana 🇬🇭

@@fredkofiodoom5499 For what ? What is so great about Ghana? I am happy where I am!

@@josephbrown1573 I'm not saying you not happy where you are !

I think @josephbrown1573 is commenting on the wrong video or has made it personal. Something must be going on with his life in his McMansion in the USA.

Yes you may not denied mortgage in the states as black person but you may not be allowed or systematically denied to buy a property in certain areas and also you may get mortgage but would not get a fair rate and everyone knows that so if you Joseph Brown don't know this, then something definitely wrong you. Your type of black are the ones who are blindly brainwashed whitewashed to believe that if one or thousand black people are giving a chance in Western Countries then all is good for everyone. I feel sorry for you what kind of education training you're giving your children. But don't worry one day you'd not brag or boast about your and your daughter livinh in predominantly White neighborhood... it is when but not if.

Good job. Proud of u. Education is my focus too.

@@rainbow3649 really have to focus agriculture! No food no life!

This is an African mindset

So perfectly said.

What we don't realize is that by leaving African countries, we help hold up the very system that impedes progress at home. Black Americans have always stayed in the US and fought for theirs, in a system where they aren't even the majority. Surely we can do the same in Africa.

She's also european and american ....

She American with one European parent

It’s true o!

This one is giving

Are you Ghanaian

jahmala Why, we can't talk about race? Not sure what you're saying but hope you're not spewing some colonized mindset where you just think white people are nice, because we need to get rid of that nonsense. If you live with them for a couple hundred years you would talk about race too. Just like it became a problem for fellow black africans in south africa when white people relocated there in large numbers. On minerals african countries sell their minerals for money, it's not being "stolen" (at least not for the most part, maybe in the congo or some illegal mines but not in most cases). We just have mostly bad deals that don't maximize what we could get out of them.

You are right. That's true!

What's the importance of mentioning the background she comes from?

100% Agreed and we must fight these things off and chase away these racially obsessed words entering Africa with all Almighty human powers ☺

But I’m Africa they absolutely love white people and that’s the first ones they run to when they leave Africa, she’s proof of that. Not to mention she said I’m America she fit in, it was in Ghana where everyone wanted to know where she’s from.

@@daniella8400 That means you are racists. As you say you are against "whites" and hates them You are proof of that

@@daniella8400 Many people go to Western countries for opportunities; this is not new. She physically blends in with many Americans because of the look and color. She doesn't stand out as much as she might in a place like Accra. This is what she's saying. Culturally, she is all Ghanian.

Lovely girl is a professors child living totally different lives to the African Americans . AA are invested in slavery story. She has escaped a lot of that . Her psyche is able to seeing good in Africa compared to AA.

No you don't need a fancy degree. All you need is a sense of entrepreneurship, willingness to adapt to a environment/culture and then come up a business plan. Of course, there's no need to mention that you need to go with some money.

@@Concertto This! How they brain wash you these days to believe these nonsense. Take your education seriously God damned it. Entrepreneur sense without "fancy" degree serving customers is what you are all experiencing in Africa countries and coming back to KZfaq to make a video about it. Those who lied to you are already enslaving you with lies. Smgdh Stay away from Afro people with this nonsense . Keep it " AA " and werever. This is a continent that has high value in Education . Understood! ?

@@Concertto Hopefully they get to read your post. I don't know if any of them feel they can take advise from an African, maybe they can.

@@Concertto you think if the fancy education was present for customer services Africa would been like this? You can't even stand the standard of entrepenuring in Africa you coming here with ....ooh no need for education. Gtfoh

? made me hate those clothing ?

No such thing as afrocentric clothing. each culture for its own

@@AfricanMaverick That's why you don't have an Afro. God cursed you.

@@AfricanMaverick Afro culture. Is not for you.

@@AfricanMaverick You are one of those trying to be Middle east culture. This is Afro culture you see on this lady. Afro Afri .
