Why African-Americans are NOW Leaving Ghana in Droves Since the Year of Return

In 2019, the President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo declared The Year of Return, which became a huge PR campaign to attract #African-#Americans and English Black into Ghana. The is now a growing trend of AA #returnees to the U.S. from #Ghana. This video by #corporatejunky uncovers the real truth behind this.

Seeing how Africans act towards black Americans in the USA tells you all you need to know 😊

The truth is you can not live anywhere in the world without good work and money.. The systems in Ghana should be Restructured to make things work.

I visited Ghana in 2009. Worst experience ever. I tried to pitch an idea of Ghana manufacturing some of their own medicine. Visited the (then) Vice-President's brother's home and was met with "I would never take a medicine made by people here." Seriously. The next day, I visited the Minister of Health and provided the mandatory bribe gift (as I was instructed). He (George Sipa Yankey) summarily dismissed me after saying that Americam Black people look mutated and Doxycycline isn't a treatment for malaria...which was absolute absurdity. A week later, he was arrested AGAIN for corruption. I have receipts and plenty of other details for everything I wrote here.

I am from the Caribbean and I went to Ghana to repatriate and it was imposible to overcome all the obstacles because there are no infrastructures set up to receive diasporians outside of Africa. Akufo Addo did not think about people but revenues to boost the econonmy. Ghana is a beautiful and peaceful place to live but there are no government bodies to help people returning to the mother land and sometimes one ends up much worse that the country they are coming from.
This proble is not alone in Ghana but in many countries across Africa. This problem must be addressed or it will bring a standstill to the repatriation process.

Even after living in the US for so long…when I go back to Nigeria and there’s no light, I’m not bugging. I just take a sit outside and enjoy fresh air. It is what it is.

SCAM: There is no such thing as buying land in Ghana. They should say, lease in Ghana because you will never own it. There is no security for yourself nor your children. They tell you to return home then they call you immigrant. It is more like taking your money and later kick you out.

I liked the reasoning of why Nigeria didn’t make that call. Where I disagree is 1500 AA were a burden. They were a burden if they lived and ate for free. They contributed to the economy just by paying renting, using the tro-tro, bolt, or Uber, and eating. The economy was imploding before the 2019 call. I alone contributed $231, 000 in less than 2 years to Ghana with my YouTube channel. I did have the wisdom to not uproot myself. I stayed months at a time which are the benefits of the 1099 you spoke of. I Uber drove and saved up to buy land and to stay for 3 months at a time. Lastly, another avenue to talk about in cultural differences is the sexism that is prevalent in Ghana compared to the states. Overall, I appreciate this video and I wish this video was posted 3 years ago. Thanks for having a space to converse about this. Certainly Ghana is imploding. What I got from the locals is…they will find happiness in-spite of.

About 14 years ago, was talking to an old friend, and he goes, Chale Ghana de be. Ghana’s economy is great. People are doing well.” I asked, “How are you drawing this conclusion?” “He responded, “Chale, if you see the cars people are driving there, you go bow. Last time I was there I saw a Lambo.” I shook my head and asked him, “how is the average man living? How are people who are not in Accra and Kumasi living? And what is Ghana’s GDP?” He had no response for me.

I can't understand why we would go in the first place because if it's so good why most Africans try and come to the U S to live.

[ernestagyemang-botchway]

Am Ghanaian living here in the United States 🇺🇸, I call ghana 🇬🇭 home and till Ghanaian leadership fix the Ghanaian economy, put our monetary and fiscal policies in order, we will hear sad news like this, ghana is a beautiful country by all standards, people n friends in the diaspora needs security, economic stability and trust me we sell ghana to the world only for them to follow it up with a visit and they realize its a scam, African Americans will come but they won't stay..Our economy is indeed on life support, the system does not work and it can not support a first world citizen period...The president is corrupt and will not accept his govt has failed...Things must be changed or else the Ghanaian economy will come to a screeching halt.

I’m Black American. I’m a 1099 contractor. I’m 25 minutes in and so far he is absolutely DEAD ON!! There is no way I would abandon my career and move to a 3rd world country with less opportunity, less base salary pay, a crippled economy, less resources . I have a life, a family, a home, a business! I’m also over 40. Visit absolutely. RELOCATE HELL NAWL!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

As a Black “American” with a half Ghanaian son and plans to buy land and eventually settle in Ghana, I found this information to be very valuable. This is the hard truth I need to hear, not the romanticized ideas I have in my head.

[candyxox]

They were in the honeymoon phase when they moved there. They loved being away from America but now they want to move back to America after the rose colored glasses faded

[firaden]

Good info. I’m Jamaican and I was explaining this very same thing to a black american yesterday. I explained to him that black America need to build there wealth together and then venture out and seek business outside their country in a collective

[fitnfloridakelly]

Ghana isnt necessarily family. Remember we blacks were sold to Europeans. Who sold out ? Other family. Other blacks.

I've lived in Ghana for 21 months. 2016-2018. If you are not living as a Ghanaian your money won't run long. Simple tasks take way too long to get completed. Lack of customer service or just honest people. The people weren't very welcoming for the most part. If there were welcoming, they want something or see you as $$.
I say if you can make it in Ghana you can make it anywhere. It's not easy life there.
I agreed with what he said in this video.
In my opinion, visit don't move there.

[DaniLills]

It would have been helpful if you provided examples or evidence of your claim that the African-American expats were a burden on the Ghanaian economy and taking resources from the locals. You stayed at this multiple times, but never provided any information or evidence to support that claim. I’m very curious to hear more about this, and find out how the African-American attorneys were taking from the locals.

[EnterTheNinja]

I can't speak for anyone but myself....as a Jamaican Africa feels just like home to me no shock involved 🤷🏿‍♂️

[emmanuelkotei]

It’s not surprising, all the Ghanaians want to leave there too. We have stupid, corrupt, lazy leaders who can’t even figure out how to keep the lights on
