Why do young people prefer to move to big cities?

These discussions will change the face of the motherland. Keep up the great work.

What's wrong with this immigration officer ? He is an example of the problems we have in Ghana. Very shallow minded. That's why I always say "Not all advice from older people can be accepted because foolish people grow old too."

Great debate, African government must listen, youth must speak up and create platform. Entrepreneurship is also key.

I LOVE your street interviews. They are so balanced, so fair, and so informative to someone who does not live in Africa. Also ... I love watching the faces of those in the background when someone is speaking. Dynamic. Thank you for making these videos. They matter. The discussion matters. The diverse views matter.

Loved the video...very enlightening.The government should focus on making rural areas better and this might even lead to a decline of informal settlement in the cities while creating more employment opportunities in rural areas.

Money is in the City. I have to work, earn it and take care of my people. #TheDreamOfTheBlackChild When I have enough I will buy land in my village

THE 77 PERCENT.JOB WELL DONE.THX EDITH N UR TEAM DW,CONGRETS....

Sometimes I get tired when I see or experience the same powerful men who always talk too loudly and too much bullshit. But then there is always that woman who raises her voice at the right moment and uses her energy to balance the seeds of greed and destruction. My solidarity goes out to you!

This is the same situation we face in my country The Gambia. After finishing your university you're posted to a place where you can't even get network to make call let alone have other opportunities that people in the urban areas are having. For a teacher in the rural area you'll be posted in a place where you hardly see cars or shop to do other things yet the officials will say the pays are the same while a teacher in the urban area teach in multiple schools and earn quadruple the salary of the rural teacher.. We need decentralised development like the mechanic mentioned..

Nice discussion. Hard to see this kind of conversation on the national media.

Same Ghanaian issues, always complaining without taking action. Well done officer! We need to examine our brains 😃😃😃😃😃

I Love this topic actually the African government are doing nothing in the ruler area Infarkt they even forget them the only time the government remember rulers area is when it’s time for voting that’s the time they reminds themselves cuz they need their votes. In The Gambia the same thing we fighting for! It’s all over the Africa!

These current and past conditions on the continent would have #MarcusGarvey turning in his grave.💐

This is the kind of forum that both national and local government officials need to have w the people. How else will you know their grievances if you do not engage them. Its no wonder young people have little faith in them and do not vote.

16:04 "why leave rural areas where food is cheaper" they just sed there's no services in rural areas like 7x already let's say u buy the cheap food how do u cook it without no electricity then wash ur dishes without no water unless this guy wants us to put a pot on a fire then wash our dishes in the river !!! Like seriously where did they find this guy🤦🏾‍♂️

you are interesting girl that I watch in you tub keep it up sister from ethiopia

City get together appoint a discussion bench or table were the whole community can attend as well

Jawharatu really was on it. I can see her in government doing the good work to make the real changes necessary.

The development in South is not necessarily from the government most people in the cities built their own houses and pay to find water for their house hold( ie bolt hole) For instance my mum and dad built their own house in Kumasi and i don't think government do much for the people of Kumasi

This brother has a *good- skill*and there should be *Assistance* for him from the government to help him take on and train #APPRENTICES.💐

Young you want to have parties and fun and more opportunities. I moved from the countryside to Hamburg being 18 years old. Then back to the countryside when being 30 and want my nature and calmness back…

Can anyone hear the yallow guy? I we'll go to America, Europe and i will find jobs there no matter what even if i die.

Our own brothers and sisters are the same people who are not helping the community the government will give them money for development and they will keep the money for themselves and that is the most important thing

Sister vs officer,sister is saying something concious than the officer .

I grow up in the village it was nice

Safety conditions are, surplus funds yes is their grants available for the community

I love this.. Please come back to Gambia, we have lot to say.

I hope the government knows what the guy said i will rather go and die if he die is the same death. One day they will much to the castle and the government will see. Start building companies in the village for the people.

The government should provide good things in the villages. Small estates, hospitals, workers should provide good jobs and good payment

The commander is correct each one should help each other to build the communities.

Thanks you

Personally, big cities tend to have more open minded people... C'mon now let's just be honest now

This is depressing! 😭😭

The Muslim women make so much sense!

What is the capital of the city you all are in . excellent information bill passed ,a start .write letters ,have people to sign list of needs normal people go were thejobs are and pay

Edith😍😍😍😍

The fair short guy smoke out what most of africans struggling think. Wow it is so sad. Breaks mw heart

These people are sad and hopeless...African governments are shoddy and useless..they have abandoned there responsibilities and now youths are sad and tired. Poor government Services are duplicated from Tamare to kumasi in Ghana all the way to Kaduna in Nigeria to Nakuru in Kenya

Awesome discussion. Hopefully the government can modernize to keep up with the demand. Thought more about it. If the government gave incentives to slow the mirgration it would be a win win. Don't stunt the growth of your young, educated, gifted populations. The rural area can be stabalized and the urban overcrowding can br curtailed. Please look at the migration patterns of blacks after the civil war in America during the Jim Crow era and other countries around the world. Get ahead of the problem. You can't risk loosing an entire generation of people, especially young people.

For sure uncle

Amazing points, money can't afford to eat on wages , co-op collaboration enterprise,if taxes are paid the government,shall care for the needs ,simple

The lady is making sense compare to the officer.. government should try to make the rura community l more comfortable so that the migration will reduce

A individual has right to be comfortable what is the name of school elementary school in the community water isn't free anymore platforms excellent, volunteer project are

Wow!

She so beautiful

Is this DUDE in the GREEN UNIFORM mentally SLOW or mentally ILL?!?! -- "if you love your country you will stay" -- No MATTER what the CONDITIONS are????? #MakeItMakeSense

Jobs Excitement

Keep coming to America Brothers and sisters

People are tired!!!

at the risk of getting some backlash, I have to say: all those entities, government, political leaders, those do not work. in the countries where democracy "works" (well, tries to work) their history goes back centuries: heads were chopped off, revolutions took place. world wars! and African societal structures were completely wiped off to give place to their system. we are too young in terms of nations to have such a system work like it does in the western world. we need strong leaders like the sort of Khaddafi (Sarkozy knew it and we all know how that turned out!). those governments are structured to benefit those who put the leaders in place. and those who were against it....well.. what happened to Thomas Sankara? Sekou Touré? Ruben Um Nyobe ? google it.

After watching the whole episode it shows that oldman immigration officers he doesn't know anything and he doesn't want to accept reality of what's happening on the ground.

The village is boring

I don't really understand what is wrong with this police officer, he is really corrupt police officer that's why he's defending he's gorvment.
