Great interview ! This is obviously someone who is in Ghana for the long run but is not closing her eyes to all the problems that are leading to this mass exodus of young people, many of whom are risking their lives! Lack of sanitation , lack of affordable housing ,lack of opportunities is a fact and for people to pretend that there are all these opportunities in Ghana is unrealistic .Almost everyone I know who has moved back to the continent is either working remotely or providing a service almost exclusively to expats so as to earn dollars/pounds! I would love to hear from someone who has moved back and is making a living catering purely to Ghanaians !
There are several of them! You are also over generalizing and exaggerating the living conditions in Ghana. I live in Accra and Chicago. Have their distinct advantages
Oh my gosh!! I love this! I'm also a mental health professional with plans to move to Ghana for the same reasons!! I am Ghanaian-American, but honestly that's the only difference!
I do agree with sade about housing and nature.Ghana is being compared so much to US.The developers see a house being sold for five hundred thousand dollars somewhere in the USA, they will come to Ghana build a similar house and they want to sell it for the same price.As Sade said: trees are being cut down everywhere in Ghana these without hesitation.It is as if there are no scientists in Ghana to put a stop it.Part Aburi for instance should be set aside for nature, as time goes by, all of that area will become a concrete jungle.I always remember this Kenyan proverb.it says, treat the earth well, it was not given to you by your parents,it was loan to you by your children."
Great interview! If you’re going to move back at least do something of impact to the local population and not necessarily for profit. Bringing that capitalistic mentality it’s not going to help the country in the long run.
So @NGG, with all due respect, I'd like to know who was behind the camera. Sade's eyes seems like always having a quick pip at the camera as if she's crushing someone there. Just imagining!!! 🤔😍
@jlau979 some parts of this is good to show comprehension of what is said. @moretodela I started noticing it a lot once I read this comment. Check between 6 and 8 minutes 😮 lol. Watch a bit of Parkinson for some tips! My director did a training sesh once and in some culture, sounds of agreement can be misconstrued so just an FYI. Great job as ever though ❤
She's African mix of Fulani and Creole, but she has a YORUBA name "Sade," ? ? Hmm, okay ! ! Sounds like major CONFUSION, CONFUSION! And first off, I ain't Ghanian, but I'd think that you'd make things easier on yourself by immersing yourself in the culture by learning the local language, etc, prior to moving wherever in the world. Some of these complaints about landlords, littering, rip-offs by cab drivers, etc, sound like expectations of fantasy, unpreparedness, and lack of essential due diligence to me. I've lived overseas for decades, and I know once I hit African grounds, the accents, mannerisms, and expectations GOTTA GO out the door. If folks are relocating to AFRICA, and they are not willing to learn the language and immerse into the local culture, WHY ARE YOU MOVING TO AFRICA? ? Motives become very questionable, and CASHING-IN on opportunities on-ground become a short-term thing and can backfire as well. Learn the language and adapt to the CULTURE, instead of expecting AFRICA to become America or Europe. Locals in these places get ripped off too on a daily, but you make things WORSE on yourself by blowing all that FOREIGN TONGUE learnt from your MASSA OF COLONIALISM and exposing yourself as a non-local with DEEP POCKETS of hard forex. So, yeah, the locals in various avenues and interactions will surely TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU to the full. Because, you've SERVED yourself to them on a SILVER PLATTER to be devoured. Some of y'all folks need to curb the WHINNING, and sink or swim.
So, clearly you don't know the Yoruba connection with Sierra Leone. Maybe, do some research before you let someone having a Nigerian name trigger you. Very many Sierra Leonians have Nigerian names, especially Yoruba . Even my own Nigerian Igbo surname, Kanu, is a very common surname in SL. I grew up around a Salone family in London. Their Dad's name was Baba Tunde and the brothers name was Tunji.
@@sylviasworld9397 Who said anything about Nigerian name ? ? Dumb, dumb! YORUBA is what I referred to. And, I probably know more about Africa History than you'll ever know. Yes, I'm aware about YORUBAS migrating to other parts of West Africa, etc. I'm not going to get into YORUBA HISTORY that's probably way above head. But Mr. Kanu/Igbo Man, maybe, you need to only SPEAK unless you're spoken to.

Will you please stop making those sounds while she is speaking, it is very annoying.
I could be equally rude back to you but I won’t
