Africa is a continent and the majority of the land is not inhabited by anyone. But not surprising as soon as the African diaspora comes home to invest and settle in Ghana by invitation there is a problem with people coming home and receiving land whether offered by the local village chief. Where is the outrage for the Chinese, Lebanese Europeans (white) or Indians stealing gold bringing in trucks and digging devices right in their faces in the village being allowed to cart away natural resources while the local village people work for them for peanuts or less. Make it make sense???

We dont need competition we need collaboration.

Always got smoke for us never smoke for the other people.

Also in Kenya 🇰🇪 Indians have whole communities where they live and exclude Black Africas.Where is the concern from the Kenganda Channel?

They never got that same heat for the Chinese, the Indians, or Lebanese who openly disrespect them, only for people who look like them.

They weren't Chinese maybe that is why their angry?

This dispute is 150 acres out of 5000. The project has been largely successful. This land disputes are not exclusive to the diaspora. Ghanaians also go through the same disputes.

I said it before with time Ghanian will accuse Africa America of stealing their land😂😂😂😂😂😂

Africa is a massive place and still mostly uninhabited. Absorbing 40 million Blk Americans won't impact us at all. Plus they have as much right to this land as we do. They're native here.

You right better to buy than somebody giving you the land for free cause they can take it away, Black People are hear to help not tear down , Black Africa is way behind in development and on making Our Currency Strong Black People Unite, Stay Strong

Oshay…please research before confusing people. In Ghana chiefs are the ultimate land custodians. Some families have settled on lands for generations but do not have the right to sell the land. Even when they sell the land, the local chief should be consulted. In the Asebu case, the family was only contesting about 100 acres of the supposed 5,000 acres! The Asebu case went to court and the court recently asserted that the family couldn’t stop any construction on the 100 acres land. In Ghana the chiefs have a lot of power over land issues because it’s engrained even in the Constitution that they’re the land custodians for their people. There’s a new fruit juice factory setup in Asebu area helping abandoned orange farmers sell their produce. They’re happy with the development. I also understand that farmers are compensated when their lands are taken within the allocated 5,000 acres. The diaspora should even make sure that if farmers are asked to relocate, that they’re compensated and asked to keep farming. Some small land farmers may take the compensation and never farm again due to multiple reasons including age, lack of help or equipment. There’re going to be issues with the diaspora coming to Africa, in this case Ghana, but don’t make the issues sound insurmountable. Lastly, Ghana could never be Liberia because Ghana was established with a functioning system of government before the diaspora came. The lack of government experience of the Liberia diaspora was one of the primary issues. Current returning diaspora are far more educated and technically experienced.

Well we all know NOTHING is ever really FREE! This sounds like a tribal issue that should have been squashed when the project was being planned. I do agree with the families though as they should be compensated in some form or fashion! 😎

One thing us black ppl going to do, is complain to each other before uniting

They should confront the king instead of us.

Shalum Shalum and greetings. I pray all is well with you and your family. I am the newly elected president of the PAN-AFRICAN VILLAGE and we as the board members would love for you to do a live with us to get our side of the story as well. Because we get tired of people keep saying African Americans is taking land from them. If anyone is taking anything is their government that is giving their resources to the other nations. I am Nana Gye Nyame I also none as Miykaal

Land is a very sensitive issue & is already causing problems in many African Communities even without the Diaspora Return and ought ro be handled senstively. I give an example of my own accenstral home of Buganda in Uganda where land issues are causing troubles within local people. We do not want it to delay or inconvenience returning Diaspora people of which Iam one but local chiefs in Africa have culturally, traditionally & historically exercised undue authourity over their subjects that would in today's world be unacceptable and these "give aways by local chiefs" need to be collaborated with due deligence by following up with National Land Registry Authorities to ensure safe legal ownership. The problem with African societies is that many Africans have not traditionally had the need to register their property because that's the way it has been so you've many Africans who rightly have owned land without registration documents! Before any land let alone such large amounts of land are sold off, there ought to be meetings with locals to harmonise transfer of ownership. We need to demonstrate that we can handle and manage our African issues amicably & peacefully & our adversaries are watching! We love Diaspora Africans and Iam because we are. ❤

Unlike Ghana, which will only give Africans of the diaspora, lease hold lands, Sierra Leone, on the other hand, will give you the right of ownership of freehold land, when you purchase the land outright. As a Sierra Leonean, i would implore the diaspora to consider buying land in Sierra Leone, without any of the heartaches and drama. I hope that the Ghanaians that are contesting the Asebu land deal, will reach an amicable resolution with the members of the African diaspora, that wanted to plant their roots in Ghana.

One thing i know i have nearly been scammed twice for land in Ghana so i chose a different place. You have options. There are over 50 countries in Africa to choose from just be careful doing business. Visit first and see what you like then decide. Do not just jump in like a fool.

I live up the road from this development. It has been nothing but a hot mess!!! The problem is that everyone was not in agreement. People don't really understand the Chiefs don't own the land They just administer it and when families or elders are not in agreement then the problem comes in. The problem with this whole mess is that it was not done right from the beginning. Land issues in Ghana can be very tricky even to the point of people losing their lives.

Africans and the diaspora need to be collaborating to build up businesses and agriculture together. We don't need anyone feeling like we're there to replace them. We're currently seeing this happening in the U.S., so we know how that feels, but in this case we're the same people. Instead of isolating ourselves like the colonizers do, create large networks that will bring like minds together.

There needs to be a allocation threshold that'll protect the locals against loosing out on opportunities, regardless of how enticing a prospective foreign investor is. This is vital for a longterm healthy relationship between the locals and the African diaspora.

So shameful on behalfs of the so called chiefs you see it sounds like the land system in Ghana is way outdated. This is a lesson the chiefs words don't mean shit.

Hello Bro Oshay Just recently The Ghana Supreme Court overturned the land registrations from a litigation case that involved 72,000 acres of land in Accra. It was a case from the 1980’s. So 40 years from now the Ghana Supreme Court might do the same thing to us Diasporans and our children and grandchildren about the Asebu land ! Like Go Black To Africa said He would not but land in Africa I wish that I had not!

Oshay if you care about our safety here in the central region you world alter your headline title. It screams get those foreigners

The land is $1,200 per plot! It is not free. If the farmers did not get paid by the King the Diasporan don’t know anything about it.

Imagine the balls of "the land was idle"... what? This is Africa bro, each piece of land is community tribal land. This ain't the wild west. And by the way, that's exactly the argument the Boers made in taking over South African land. This is not Ghana end well folks lol

Jealousy is what caused slavery in the first place. We still haven't learned a thing. One chief had a nice kingdom another got Jealous and tries to steal it. Never ending and that is why we loose to the white man every time.

What I wanna know is where was all that energy when whites were moving there?

If they were farming the land was there any proof. The Jamaican stated that his land was idol.

I do hope that the locals are not been pushed out. This is not what should happen. I hope these chief are not acting as those during slavery.

Lesson: land in Africa belong to groups of people & everybody wants to get a cut

By the time most diasporans wake up, oshay would be far in terms of investments and would be competing with the Indians and Chinese 😂😂😂

Thank you for sharing this 😊 Oshay

Brothers and Sisters let do the right thing work together respect Oshay blessings 🙏

Hello Oshay and i knew someone were going to start saying something if they didn't talk to the original people about those different lands in Africa

Register your land with the Ghana Lands Commission.

I was in Kenya and South Africa in December. My personal feeling is that they don't need development all over the continent and end up looking like America. While there I went on a safari and it is bad enough Europeans have killed so many animals. What will happen to the animals if greedy Americans come there and want 50+ acres. The woman(Aleta) in your clip is not trustworthy, after watching her business actions with other Americans. Americans are stealing the land and clearly are taking advantage of Ghanaians,

This is what i like about you there is no bs talking you just speak the facts and you go straight to the point 😊

This has less to do with the people who bought the land and more to do with the party who sold it. The only competition here was the chief who sold the land and had the vision to bring in the diaspora. People just want dibbs on the profits without doing the work or having the vision IMO.

I'm an African , proud one at that , land is a spiritual case , you have to be extremely careful with land , because it can take hundreds of human lifes

Perhaps African chiefs could consider implementing a referendum system to distribute land to the diaspora, which could reduce land disputes by gaining public consent. Raising public awareness across Africa about the Transatlantic slave trade and the involvement of chiefs in it is crucial. These chiefs hold a moral responsibility to close this historical gap, fostering reconciliation for the peaceful coexistence and prosperity of both descendants of Enslaved Africans and Continental Africans.

🤓🤓🤓Great video, very informative and very truthful.

Love the new channel... You're reporting on the topic that America don't even know exist yet. This is a very serious topic, The Exodus from European countries by the diaspora.

Thats why I don't listen anyone that say I can give you free land. My answer NO Thank you.

Understand the African Continent has over 4000 tribes and 4000 languages. What does that tell you? Answer: They are disagreeable people. I expect tribalism and see no future in investment for the Diaspora. However Kenya is cool. Ghana is not where it's at.

Tell them to hit up the king that sold their land. Anybody can come and say anything. How do some come after you build your house etc. then after everything is built or almost built, someone comes and say its their land.

Land in ghana with or without the diaspora has been an issue long time , so no one should try to say anything negative about Africa, we love our diaspora and it is a matter of resolving the ownership issue, diaspora have every right just as Africans born on the continent, we blacks should love each other , the foreigners are the Chinese, whites, Indians buying land in Africa

I’m going to my land in Asebu today. Bought land there for $700. We just started building on it after 2 years due to the suit by the family against the Paramount Chief. We was told by the Courts to continue to build. Locals are still farming. Everyone has guns in Ghana except for me. I think you’re stupid if you don’t own a fire arm in Africa. As sketchy as it seems we didn’t come all this way and spend this much time and money to run away on this obligation we got into

IF i go to Africa i want to live with the people of that particular country as long as they are nice.. i want to imerse ij the culture to reclaimed heritage

as a african, i dont think FBA BA did not steal no land like that in Ghana. Goblack2Africa was right, do not buy land in Ghana. Go to another african country. Sierra leon is prob a best fit or Liberia.

This happens in Haiti, Senegal, and Anglola that I personally know of. But what I've witnessed is that YT comes in with nothing in their pockets, and get red carpet treatment.

This story must be told, sorry for this to happen, I wish everyone well.

Put out the truth!

Real talk bro 💯 😮

We african diaspora must be extra sensitive and make sure the land is truly free to be given and not part of a scheme. We must remember how it feels.. and not do what has been done to us in America and to the Native Americans. We dont like our neighborhoods, Gentried in America. So neither will they. We must be intentional to include those already there. With something that will benefit them.. like building schools or giving their homes makeovers. Some kind of investment that directly benefits their life. So we can show we are there to build and not invade.

Africa has alot of space to accommodate African Diaspora they is so much virgin land. We fear other races like Chinese, Lebanese, Euros etc... they are coming in droves. African Diaspora is so few. Can they please wake up and stop politicking.

Hi, kengada always get your facts right there's no problem in the Asebu pan village.

THE PROBLEM I KNOW OF IS WHEN YOU GET THE LAND, THERE IS A PERIOD AT WHICH YOU SHOULD START DOING SOMETHING ON THE LAND. BUT SOME WENT FOR THE LAND SINCE 2019 UP TO DATE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED IN THEIR LAND. THE REASON WAS TO DEVELOP THE LAND. BUT THEY GOT THE LAND SITTING THERE WHILE THEY ARE IN THE US. THEY ARE NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD FINISH IMMEDIATELY, BUT YOU SHOULD START SOMETHING ON THE LAND. THIS IS WHY THE FEW HOUSES ARE SCATTERED, BUT MOST OF THE LAND IS TAKEN, BUT NO PROGRESS. ASEBU IS A VERY NICE COMMUNITY.

I agree with your video!

WHAT HAPPENED IN LIBERIA🤔 OSHAY

I wanted to build a city in Ghana but I'm too old to be dealing with an unprofessional dysfunctional country. I'll build it elsewhere and use it as a template for future projects.

Oshay be mindful how you phrase things because we are not returning to Africa to compete with our brothers and sisters we are here to return home and build the economies and add to the culture. Iv been in east Affrica before most since the early 90s and now in west Africa. Recent Arrivals since just before covid and after are beginning to hinder the work and relations that earlier pioneers like myself and my mother have put in.

Well explained

why would they steal land? if there is a problem it must be the ones who sold them the land! there is some stuffs like that happening even among Ghanaians, some people pretend to be the owners of the lands when in fact they are not sometimes and sell the lands to multiple people they are just scammers .just make sure who you buy land from or with.

There should be a system in place, where African’s land can’t be sold without going through a list of procedures. This will ensure the land is free to sell. Also, if Diaspora Africans decide to move back to the Motherland, they should study their culture, the language, and the laws.

Yes, we don't want another Liberia to happen. Like you said, I am aware of what happened in Liberia because I lived it.

Never thought about this situation occuring.

Why not work directly with the people! Why not give them incentives and compensation for what’s theirs.

AA should know datt if they buy any type of land in Africa from government or chiefs, the tension will escalate, bc land belongs to tribes, every single piece of land belongs to a tribe but some tribes lost their land to government “projects” and they won’t sit back and watch government sell or give out their land to another group of ppl.

First here 🎉

Crossing Ghana off of the list. South Africa seems to be a better move. People are complaining there too, but the government allows you to buy land there. It cost more though.

but the government Can't just take it away

@11:50 Subdivisional chief + paramount chief sold the land. However, whether than land originally was occupied by a member of their tribe? How is this a black investor issue and not a "corrupt africa" issue? Best to avoid backwater settlements without established laws regarding eminent domain, public vs private (communal) property and land rights.

#DividedWeFall ❤✊🏾🇺🇸

Won't ot be easy for these African Americans to go into the private sector and just buy of a developer and cut out the scammers

That’s not fair to take away the natives land and give it to other people, the Ghanan should be first taken care of first.

Absolutely

I've watched many videos concerning the African diasporas returning to Africa. Many African brothers and sisters say that they want the diasporas to come home and complaining because the european colonizers, Indians, Chinese, Arabs and so on are coming in buying up the land. I must ask, what is it that you want? it seems to me that when a white person moves to the region, they are still welcomed with open arms, but yet your fellow BLACK brothers and sisters are stealing your land that you were doing nothing with in the first place. Are we welcomed back home or is just the white dollar welcomed home?

If I end up owning land rightfully belonging to someone else, it's only right that they are compensated. Do unto others as you would have them do to you.

I think this is very important context for Diasporans to understand, even though it’s old news. The Asebu Free Land initiative leaders have been confronting the issues and generating solutions in very productive and successful ways. In conversations about the Great African Resettlement, it’s important to recognize the level of consciousness that most Diasporans have, and what that means. Many Indigenous Africans on the continent as well as Diasporans understand that we are truly interdependent upon each other. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for and it is important that we stay focused and be intentional about our solutions and making progress.

Ghana sound like too much of a hassle

This problem can be resolved easily by purchasing land from a reputable real estate company where the land is litigation free and there are no issues between chiefs and families. Another way to avoid this is by buying land from a chief who owns the land outright with his immediate family...government land maybe available as well. The Pan African Village has issues with litigation between the paramount chief and some families who farmed on land that was sold to the diaspora. I expect the case to be settled soon and it will be interesting to see who wins...the chief or the families. THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK ON THE DIASPORA...it is a conflict between the chief and the families who claim the land is theirs.

I agree with everything you said Oshay! No lies detected at all. Bought my first house at 23. Been buying and selling every sense here in the states. I’m 51 now. Me and hubby coming to the continent in 3 months and we will be looking for real estate opportunities! They asking us to come back home so get ready folks!

9:41 guy in the vid made himself look stereotypically corrupt with that statement

Hello thanks for this eye opening insight, i guess as far as land ownership is concerned, Uganda ranks better as long as you pay for your land and obtain a free hold land title its completely yours. Truth be told there is not free land in Africa my be unless the government donates it you and documented.

Diasporans are welcome. But MUST be careful when it comes to land issues. Lands belong to families. Whether the lands are developed or not. REMEMBER DIASPORANS must appreciate that all lands in Ghana belong to somebody - local families. Also all Lands have vegetation on them and therefore not WASTE land. IF Diasporans think that they can carry guns and run over locals that will be another UNACCEPTABLE and wrong strategy. When it comes to land there is not absolute AUTHORITY in Ghana. Not many Ghanaians like the Chinese, Lebanese, and other foreigners doing galamsey in Ghana, destroying vegetation, water bodies etc. Our leaders are complicit in these confusions. AGRICULTURE IS OUR GAME IN GHANA ESPECIALLY IN THE VILLAGES NOT GALAMSEY AND ESTATE DEVELOPMENT.

WHATS HAPPENED IN KENYA😮

nice content

Facts 100 percent

But is it the same old predatory system that the West ( whites) have put in place for hundreds of years that we as African Americans have absorbed & maturated in for centuries..even without us really knowing, esp if denied those opportunities in the West.. bring this mindset.. I understand their is a big learning curve for both Africans & the diaspora , & hopefully they can learn together & synthesize & poll their collective knowledge in working together for the future & a Win, Win for all involved

Liberia part 2 🍿🥤

I knew the diaspora would become a problem. If you know this is not your land please do it right. You are talking about them not going after Kenyans they probably bought their land from the locals. These chiefs are ghana are a danger to the local people. Giving them away their land without their permission. Instead, these land settlers sitting down and talking to the locals and coming up with the solution they want to show their supremacy. I hope the Ghanaian people do what they can to take back their land.

Everybody can win, that's fugazi... Don't displace anyone if you are coming from the Diaspora, and work along with the population to cooperatively develop. Africans, do not put Diasporans in a position where they have INHERITED contention with the local population especially knowing that people are occupying or depending on said land. I don't want to hear this about the Diaspora and African B.S., all of these other non descendants are thriving in the motherland. Furthermore, I am American born. Why bring that B.S. Western value of competitive economics to the motherland. We are not Europeans, and that dehumanizing amoral capitalist system should be left behind when we leave the West PLAIN AND SIMPLE. That system ran completely over us Diasporans and was cultivated by our suffering, so Kenganda you need to be more astute in your delivery because that whole "competition spiel" was nonsense.

Jealousy jealousy jealousy

Too many land issues in Ghana. Nothing is organized at all. I be damn to buy land twice.

This why I have my land in America too, the Freedman’s Land!.it’s a great idea but very messy

13:51 Similar conversation when they come to the USA

Cam'ron was telling the truth

Oshay, if the case is in court, why conclude as though the Asebu land is already unsafe to purchase. Any take of yours on Ghana is always in bad taste. Are there any reasons for that?

This is an old story, the land owners are being compensated, nothing to worry about, don’t be a scaremonger to the diaspora coming back.
