African Americans Are Being Forced To Leave Africa FOR THIS REASON!

I got this idea from Ugandan Youtuber @Ndagire who spoke on the reasons why African Americans are leaving Africa. The video is below:

The Ugandan lady's right about locals increasing the prices when they notice you're different. Happens everywhere. I experienced it in North West Cameroon and almost got into a fight with a taxi driver. Dear African brothers and sisters, please stop being dishonest. Living on cheating people doesn't get you far in life.

The fact that we’re going to live amongst the same people that sold us here escapes me.

Thanks for this enlightening channel. Many of us are idealistic and our romantic fantasies about moving "home" are not based on reality.

Learn the money
Learn the language
Learn the people

Damn that. If I'm gonna get scammed, I'm gonna get scammed right here in America. I don't need to go across the Atlantic to fall victim to con artists.

As a Caribbean person who has lived in 4 countries, spent a lot of time in other countries (4, 5, 6 months at a time) spent time in Kenya and Ghana, have several friends and relatives who have travelled in a similar way, I feel that I have some insight as to what the problem is. One person complained of being scammed and I know in many non-American communities the principal issue is haggling, that is to say a vendor will always tell someone who they believe to be foreign a significantly higher price than the local person and generally expect you to get into the haggling game. Most of us who are westernized hate doing that. As a healthcare professional in Boston most of my customers who recently migrated to the US wanted to haggle. I would carefully explain to them that in that situation they will lose simply because I am the one with better knowledge of local prices and since they are out of their element they will lose. I was able to convince most of them to avoid haggling. However when the shoe is on the other foot you must find local people to tell you the price or do the buying for you.
Be patient and understand other people's culture, talk extensively to locals about their country.

Had a friend from the US who was based in my home country of SA for some time. Her friends were visiting her over Dec 2022 & she asked if we could show them around Cape Town and give them a great experience. It was 2 women and 1 man and 1 of the ladies was incredibly rude and reminding us that she's American and an attorney - she didn't want to even engage with anyone who she deemed beneath her (Not knowing that some of the people we were with were very wealthy and respected academics in the country). It was just such a disappointing experience. So I guess my point is, black American & British people also need to take some responsibility for how they are received in these African countries. Respect is mutual.

In 2006 one of My Cousins tried to live & set up a Business in Nigeria. Every time he get with the Locals for business meetings, someone's under the table trying to Pick-Pocket him or when he'd turn his back his briefcase is stolen.
Then trying to buy land to build a house on, he got scammed. Got tired of being scammed to pay more just because he's an OTHER.
Eventually he left after 1-1/2 years and come back to The Bronx never to return to anywhere in Africa. I told him I don't care where I go I have to be on high-alert like I'm in NYC and treat everyone with skepticism.
I know a few other people who went to Africa and got scammed on land deals, Marriages, etc.

As a black American woman I am not interested in going to Africa at all!!

Portuguese man living in the US and I can tell you Black Americans and Continental Africans are culturally different. Black Americans aren't from Africa but indigenous to the U.S. I respect Africa but I recommend Black Americans connect to your culture here in the U.S you have a lot to be proud of

I was born and raised in Africa( Sierra Leone 🇸🇱). I moved to Europe 25yrs ago and now am working on my way out back, but I myself get scammed by my own people just because of I left and came back. It is hard not to get scam when you are from abroad but always be alert and ready to bargain when you are out there and also try to always link up with the locals and most importantly be yourself and try to learn the language.

It's the same even for an African moving from one country to another country within Africa. Sometimes the diaspora gets a better treatment than an African.

I don't mind being seen as a foreigner in Africa. I've been a foreigner in two countries filled with people who didn't look like me, and managed fine. I currently live in China, one of the most xenophobic countries out there. I know what it feels like to be perpetually kept out and to not feel like you belong. Despite that I've still learned the languages of the places I've lived, followed the rules and as many social norms as I could to not expose myself to undue mistreatment, and managed to meet decent people. When I go to Africa this year and eventually to live as an expat, I'll do the same: immerse myself in the language(s), adapt and integrate the culture into my daily life, make friends with local people, and make money + be productive for the people around me.

Culture can be learned. Language can be learned. A new way of life can be learned. The light at the end of the tunnel is that the process of learning those things will be at least a little better because I'll be doing it among people who look like me and wont instantly shut me down or feel disgust because of how I look. You've got a chance at assimilation in Africa. In some other countries you have no chance. I'll roll the dice in Africa.

My cousin lived partially in the US and The Gambia. Her issues: unsanitary street markets and poor healthcare system. She loved traveling in Africa and the people. She now lives permanently back in the states.

[BibleTumper]

I saw this coming. There's always a clash of culture, wherever you go.

In the fall of 2020 I took my family to Tanzania and it was a lovely experience all around when we got to the airport to get our visas the person working there start speaking to us in Swahili then we told him we were from America and he said welcome home and that was a lovely experience and then we had an Uber driver who was helping us the whole time we were in Tanzania and he made sure that we were getting good prices at the markets for buying food. He helped us get a hotel for a good price he also did not haggle us or overpriced us for his Services all day. We were there for 3 weeks. I think the locals treat families different than individuals.

KEY TO SURVIVING AFRICA: Do your research, do some more research, visit your country of choice, in the peak and off peak season, Can you survive in the rainy season, the high heat? make connections on the ground, make some more connections, pray for discernment, then visit again and do some more research. Do all this before you even consider moving to that country of choice.
