I MOVED FROM THE USA TO GHANA AND BUILD THIS HOUSE FOR $100,000, INCLUDING EVERYTHING
In this captivating episode, join Captain Hayford Budu-Darko as he travels from Accra to Aseibu Pan African Village in Cape Coast, Ghana, to interview Karen, a diasporan who made a bold move from the USA to Ghana. Discover Karen's incredible journey, from leaving a $140,000 job in the USA to building her retirement home in Ghana for $100,000. She shares her challenges, including shipping $20,000 worth of gold that disappeared, and the joy of settling in a new country.
Why Americans are Moving to Ghana:
For various reasons, Ghana has become a popular destination for African Americans and other diasporans. The "Year of Return" campaign in 2019, commemorating 400 years since the first enslaved Africans arrived in Jamestown, Virginia, inspired many to reconnect with their ancestral roots. The campaign encouraged over 1,500 African Americans to move to Ghana, and the "Beyond the Return" initiative continues to promote long-term engagement and resettlement.
Many African Americans are drawn to Ghana for its rich cultural heritage, historical significance, and the opportunity to experience life in a predominantly Black country. Ghana offers a sense of belonging and freedom from the systemic racism and violence experienced in the USA. The country's government has also provided incentives, such as land allocations and facilitated citizenship, to attract diasporans.
Economic opportunities, entrepreneurial potential, and a simpler, more fulfilling lifestyle are other significant factors. Ghana's vibrant community and the chance to contribute to the country's development appeal to many seeking a fresh start.
Join us in this insightful interview as Karen shares her story and learn why so many are choosing Ghana as their new home. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more inspiring content!

Please note we are not experiencing loadshedding any more it’s sorted South Africa 🇿🇦 has a formal economy than Africa and property rights even in rural areas they do have property rights and continuous electricity you can make this aspersions by just being in one place.The question is why is Ghana 🇬🇭 not that developed when they had their independence earlier than South Africa 🇿🇦💯✔️
With God, all things are possible. She has been free from drugs & alcohol since age 28 when she walked into that church. At now 70, it's been 42 years. God is good all the time. Hallelujah!
🙏🏿
Amen! Yes with God all things are possible!! She’s a lovely soul! God bless you and keep you safe.
Amen and Amen
I heard my calling about 7 years ago and I finally made that move to West Africa 7 months ago best decision I made... in not in Ghana but I plan on visiting soon.
Make that visit and you will never regret it . Myriad lucrative opportunities awaits here
Shout out from Georgetown Washington DC, Madam Karen, we are very proud of you. My wife is from Ghana, we are also building 44 apartment units for rent in ACCRA. DC, Maryland, Virginia DMV area I represent
Hi, where's the contact for Karen?
@bbah523 That's my question as well, guest link not active
70? She looks lovely. Beautiful and blessed lady. I pray my mind and body remain like her when Im her age.
I know , that’s what I was saying 😂, she’s aging backwards😂
Africa preserved her
I was saying the same. Full of life
Me too
Just spent entire month of November in Ghana.. Also love Kenya. Africa love.
Oh Man beautiful beautiful Lady. 70 years old she Look Good
I congratulate this lady and her daughter for moving to Africa my time is coming soon in Jesus name I believe it.
Amen!🙏🏾 thank you for sharing.
AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS
I am very very proud of you. Their negativity is due to jealousy.
When you have a desire for better change and ask the Most High for help, you will find out that "before you had called he had already answered".
It is important for family to spread out. In case of growth, emergency, etc., you have a place to go. Our children need to know somewhere different. To give them hope that they will never remain trapped in a system that is cyclical and destructive.
CONGRATULATIONS MOM.
Most people do not have the option of another place on the planet. As a result eventually they lose hope and get caught in the system of despair. You encouraged me to continue with my dreams.
You hit the idea right on the nail. Very important to create options and opportunities for our children as the world becomes more challenging.
Both Mother and daughter are so pretty. You can tell they are settled in Africa. That mother ain't no 70. They are the fountain of youth.
She is such a fantastic Mama. Ohemaa Yaa Asantewa Kerin ✨✨✨
This is the best interview and resonates with my experiences with Africa thus far. We have a lot in common.
Come over here in Ghana 🇬🇭 if you haven't visit and trust me you will love it most !
This was beautiful. I can’t wait to move back and to visit Ghana as well. I swear Ghana just have everyone looking great. 🥰

$1200
Beautiful ❤
Very inspiration ❤❤❤
@WebnationAfrica Please do your research Ghanaians have oral history that’s passed down from generations to generations about how we came from the Nile & yonder & walked to the land of Africa. Please listen to Wogbe Djeke by Nat Brew. Our forebears have been drumming it in our ears growing up in Ghana in early the 70s…
I migrated to USA almost 3 decades ago and can’t wait to retire & go back home by the grace of YAH. If it weren’t for my children, I’d have left for Ghana eons ago. They’re all grown but I love to hang though…. I’m homesick.
Wow Wow Wow I like that it's my dream to move to Ghana but I can't do it alone because I don't see very well ❤by the grace of God I'll be there ❤😮❤❤
70 years, then you are so beautiful
You made the best decision mum
It is true they took very skill people from Africa
What a beautiful house. So sorry sis that they stole your gold
I SAW YOU THE THE DAY YOU INTERVIEWED HER I WATCHED IT
Please is there any land available in her area.
You chose Ghana 🇬🇭 it is God who led you because you made a better choice mom.This property is for you and your generation to come God bless you.
🤗
Most of you remember when in Jamaica we could walk the streets and people would help you, today we can't even drive without thinking about criminals, is it that people out there don't want to see black people living in peace,
What Karen said at the 39:00 mark is so true. U feel like u ain't stressing when u come to Ghana and the crazy part is u may not even be stressing in the states. I know I wasn't. I always say Yah covers Ghana big time just that my ppl need to change their ways to enjoy the blessings more. Corruption has been normalized in this blessed nation
@KareninGhana APTTMH Yah!! You are such an inspiration to those of us who are still in the states but longing for Africa!!! Although we have spoken by email, when we make it to Ghana, I definitely want to meet you. Your spirit is so genuine! Many blessings to you and your family. And Emanuel 😊
Medaase! ❤
@@kareninghana do you have a WhatsApp number?
Nice
This lady was a pensioner, so if she left a job that paid 140.000 a year it's because she was ready to leave the job. When you get into you 60ties you can retire. Africans who wz t to leave for America to make a better life for their families can do so. If you have a good job there I would say don't leave it to go, and if you want to get a leave of absence first
70!😮😮😮😮 black dnt crack indeed.
Awesome content there
Thank you bro 🙏🏿, and thanks for the drone shots 😂
Beautiful Lady!! Im in my early 50's and i could easily marry her. Even her 40 yr old daughter looks like 26yrs. I really respect Blacks from Diapora who moved to Ghana ir Africa they have a thick skin because its not easy. They are not like those AA's who go to Africa just to party and later will whin being scammed by Ghanaians or by Nigerians claiming Ghanaians
My wife works for Cigna too.
Interesting
I use to live in Orangeburg SC
Our people were never enslave to Egypt. Egyptian were our people. Even though Africans that were Jews were in that area. But sister life has been good happy she found a very small part of our history

Expensive or not, it's her private business, and she is taking some risks, which may not be obvious to everyone, to do her BUSINESS.
It's not as expensive as America but expensive when it comes to other African city's and countrys
hello,
Pls does anyone know a company that does floorplan in Accra?
I don't. Sorry.
The goodness of god.
So why the huge gates and walls?
Sorry I don’t believe it came out on ship. Hearing bad things about Ghana ports
Ok.
I will email you, send me a message on IG or email : Webnationafrica@gmail.com
Planning a trip 2025 would love to connect with this achoti in Ghana!! How can we reach her?
To me, they charged the land.
Hmmm $100,000!!!In an other interview some months ago on another RUclips channel,she said the house cost her $70,000 to build!!!
Inflation can cause such a thing, meaning the early you build the better, if not the price keeps going up
The house currently values more than the $ 100,000 she declared...
The content and renovation done on the house ,with other additions, make the house's value to be more than the original amount.
We had to change the roof,repainting, upgrade landscape, door upgrade,change the whole electrical set up in the house.. I am her business partner and Project manager
Build right with AFRICABA Construction and Management Services..
Someone stealing $20,000 in gold is a bad experience, sir. Thank God the sister was focused and did not let that experience stop her. I'm responding this way because every time I hear about someone from the diaspora being frauded or stolen from in Ghana, the response seems to be minimized with " challenge " or "it happens everywhere." I don't know if that is the right response to such a serious problem in Ghana.
She’s still upgrading
Yeah, you can build your house with an estimate of 70k, but when you finish later, you can still add more value to the house while you are still living in if you're into building you will understand what am saying
Are they still giving away free land for African Americans
The land is not free, it's gifted with an administrative fee of $1200.
And where in this advanced world will you get administrative land for $1200 ? In Japan, Singapore,USA, Canada ? In life when someone tries to help you, you gotta help yourself as well, there is no free lunch anywhere !
@@fredkofiodoom5499 Africa it's cheap like that
The glorious power of the almighty Jesus the Christ at work. Just look at the wisdom emanating from them. It's only a matter of time, all prophecies will come to fulfillment. Read the books of Isaiah and Jeremiah, or even Ezekial. You will see what living almighty God told His people Israel. "I will gather you from all corners of the world and bring you back to the land I promised your forefathers in due time."
I can see you are a little bit remote, just be careful. Also, invest in security cameras. Most important; if you are dating continental humans, don't be complacent about this. Do a thorough homework.
Same In Black American Communities In USA 🇺🇸 Be Careful Wild Wild West America 🇺🇸 I Am Here In Illinois With Camera All Over My House
@@AfricanUSA-th9ov Chill-out. It is not about you.
Her historical account is not scriptural.Don’t know where she got her history lesson from.
There is a lot you don't know and need to learn! She mentioned Oral History and biblical passages that Can affirm the oral history. We Know. #AfricanStoriesRetold
I can hear the beautiful lady, but not you bro.
Sorry about that , it gets better , we will do better next time , we are saving up for a new microphone
Yeah I just randomly came across this comment and they don't understand the hardship of just being a African RUclipsr is not easy instead of complaining they should have asked you how much for a better microphone
100 Thousand for that house no way, that sounds a little high for that, maybe because of the waterlogging issue and roof , maybe she got scammed also during her own building , 100k for that no way.
100k you cannot even get a tree house
That’s today cost
Her own cost her 70k
It’s not a wooden structure
She left a $140k job to come and build a cement block house with no grass or tree in Ghana. Interesting. Welcome back home though
I guess you didn't notice the coconut trees across the street and the papaya tree on the side.
White people do have an issue with drug use in the USA, but they are not heavily involved in the gang aspect. Per capita there are just very few white people involved in gang activity. Unfortunately, gang activity is glorified in rap and hip hop, entertainment commonly consumed by blacks in the USA. People like P Diddy have destroyed the black community. Over 50% of violent crime in USA is committed by just 6% of the population (being black men), and it's tough for a police officer not to be biased, even black police officers, when they are responding to 5 calls a night for domestic abuse in the black neighborhoods. It's a beautiful thing that the ones that want to escape it feel a connection with Ghana and can start searching out their roots. It's always more comfortable being part of the majority verses a minority in any country.
As a black American I take exception with this narrative. I will never relinquish my sovereignty. In the U.S. we work and retire and receive social security. If I’m hungry the government will offer assistance. When I travel to Africa my government protects me should I require assistance. I’m a proud American.
But no one is telling you to leave 😮😢
Who on this thread or in Africa actually gives a crap dump about how you supposedly "as a black American" feel about the covertly and blatantly evil, lying, thieving, cheating, greedy, exploitative, parasitic, perverse, oppressive, murderous, and racist thug USA and your freaking fantasized "sovereignty".😂 Wtfu unless you're a paid covert Internet SM Troll Agent or a thinly veiled and apparent malfunctioning Internet AI robot program for the United Snakes of America (USA). The USA run by the Satanist European Greco-Roman, Ashkenazi, and their Boule' BGO/Masonic Negro servants. European Immigrant Americans' descendants and their allied European Gentiles, European Ashkenazi Jew-ish, and their rewarded hired mind-sick, soul sold-out, devilish demonic flunkies, puppets and agents amongst both the indigenous American Natives the first waves of European invaders and criminal land thieves of continental America first called "Indians", then subsequently labeled and called us "Colored", "Mulatto", "Negro", "Black", and lastly "African" and the allied mind-gone sick/satanic Boule' "Blacks" demonic Masonic and BGO members together with the racist European Immigrant Americans' allied Arab, Asian, Hispanic, and African flunkies inside and outside of the Satanic Sodom and Gomorrah Thug USA "WMD NWO National Security Insecurity Government. The place where police regularly kill unarmed and incarcerate non-criminal "Black" men, women, teenagers, and younger kids too! Where every "Black" true freedom and revolutionary leader has been targeted and murdered by the USA government. Where there's no public school curriculum teaching "Black" American History nor the Ancient Civilization, Tribes, History, Languages, Cultures, and present day AFRICA. Why are "Blacks" paying taxes for public schools that teach their children all about the freaking Europeans and zero about the brilliance and contributions of their "Black" race and their true "forefathers" ? Why aren't "Black" children taught anything about "Black" Pan Africanists ? Huh!? Ha!😮 That's your freaking stinking sovereignty! 😂
And so what you're just jealous
You Shipped $20,000 USD in gold internationally without controls in place ?... that was really dumb
No insults please 🙏🏿
Yes, I felt that, too, although I did put what I thought were controls in place. 😢
Although some Ghanaians build beautiful houses,Ghana infrastructure is not goof. Dirt Roads, bad Electricity, Water problems etc. Most places that Black people control like the Caribbean and Africa have no concept about development. Big houses no water or electricity.
Exactly come to South Africa 🇿🇦 through other formalised Americans who have made 🇿🇦 their home it’s easier than driving in muddy roads
@@harrietkwindaharriet4076if she wanted luxury than i think America is better than south Africa.
Stay in your south Africa and leave peaceful Ghana alone...
So what are you going to do when they come and take your land away then sell it to the highest bidder????
Once you go through the right procedure no one do that. Besides African nations are very careful about Americans so
She is such a fantastic Mama. Ohemaa Yaa Asantewa Kerin ✨✨✨
