This young man has no idea of what happens in the West, he will have a rude awakening. I live in the UK and it is very difficult living here. Most people coming from Africa have to live in overcrowded accommodation because housing is very expensive. I hope he take the advice of the UK brother.
Yeah he doesn't know what happens but what he is saying it doesn't matter what color. Racism exists among your own people. Case AimPoint they have videos of black men actually degrading the chocolate beautiful sisters that are on here and basically saying they would never wipe them they would sleep with them they're pretty but no your not wifey material because you're too dark. Both Africa and the U.S. is being ran by men. Women are always sexually exploited when it comes to jobs it's just not on a large-scale like it is in Africa. Africa is so behind because of the greed of these leaders who should not be president for over thirty and forty years that's a dictatorship. There is no way I would want a leader to be over my country and nothing is changing from one day to the next. That's insanity. Jeffrey is so right there is no system setup to protect the people and they take 11 years to give you a damn passport man they're holding those people their hostage😂😂
@@DivineSoulWorship there will be no rude awakening, they are going to prosper more than your tiny mind could imagine. If you are a Christian as your name implies you wouldn’t recognise what has been going. Just zoom out and look at the whole picture. Not what you read in the gutter press. Dig deep in your soul and see what is really happening.
💯 💯 💯 The fact that this even needs to be said. The African education system has clearly failed an entire generation (because many continental Africans think like Jeff).
what about what u haven been exposed to in the UK, can you buy what you have been exposed in the UK with money. See you are not making sense. Experiences in life worth more than money.
For the young brother, who seem to think it’s impossible to make it in Ghana , He identified a problem. His car broke down and he couldn’t get the help he needed. He can start a towing company and mechanic services and employ his boys on the street.
Young Jeffrey is a perfect example of “All that glitters is Gold” whiles adult Daniel knows that “All that glitters are not Gold” that’s what I observed in the whole debate.
As an Ethiopian diaspora millennial who was born and raised in the wealthiest country in Europe, and having studied and lived in all the major financial and tech hubs in the Western Hemisphere, growing up in an affluent environment and holding down a 200k+ annual wage, some will call that the ultimate success for an early 30 year old., but the truth is that Daniel not only possesses a valid standpoint but also exhibits a significantly more advanced perspective than his Ghanaian counterpart when it comes to perceiving the intricacies and long-term implications of ideas and legacies in an ever-evolving world, considering the historical atrocities endured by Sub Saharan Africans and their descendants. I comprehend that a childhood spent in a village and a life of arduous struggle in Africa during the 90s undoubtedly fosters a mindset of scarcity rather than abundance. However, what concerns me most is that individuals from the African continent are increasingly adopting a simplistic mentality, with the wisdom and principles of the past fading away. They now perceive luxury items such as Chanel purses, Patek Philippe watches, and Range Rover Sports as the epitome of success in life. Regrettably, they fail to recognize that they will never attain genuine influence, respect, or equality in the Western Hemisphere. Jeffrey, on the other hand, will likely experience humbling sooner rather than later.
and why do you think he has all of that. Because he has been more exposed that the Ghana guy, so its only fair for the ghana guy to get exposed too. Its easy to have alot f perspective if you are exposed.
You villager. Where is the statistics to prove that 80 percent of Ghanaians think like him? Are you ok? Some Ghanaians do not think before saying something and you are the number one of that group. Which institution conducted that research and came up with that 80 percent? You village boy. Think before you utter your mouth next time.
I live in the UK. Im in my 30s and I was born here and its a trap. The cost of living is sky high, the food is crap, the racism, the cold weather. Starting a family feels impossible, rent is high and my mental health is declining. If all of us Africans came together, so many opportunities could be created. If you leave to go to the West make sure you have a plan to return as soon as possible and find solutions to the problems you have in your home country to make a good living.
Jeffrey has his eyes fixed on money. He’s very delusional about culture, politics, and history. In Jamaica we walked everywhere as children. I walked to pre-k with two other children the same age. It was about two miles and back then people were like how they are now in Ghana. He was physically abused racially from China and he doesn’t even know it. He reported on a man being assaulted racially who died in China because of his color and he doesn’t connect it. He should come to the west and get this money he wants so badly then after 20 years he should report back out on his experience then I’ll listen 🙇🏾♀️ Money is needed to live everywhere but peace of mind, spirit and soul is priceless. Thanks Daniel for your wisdom.
Before I came to the U.S., I used to go to the trash place to collect iron parts and supply a company in tons, and I supply wpk to some German company in Lagos. I made serious money and purchased a 3 ton flat bed truck, and I was in Lagos Island doing some serious stuff legitimately. Fast forward, I left and got to the U.S. and saw the hypocrisy, and from the day I recognize it, I have channeled 90% of all I earned to building commercial building back home. And secured a 200acre back home to grow and produce what I'll sell in the commercial building. I cut down my expenses, I do t let the glitter trap me. I wish I never came, would have gone way far but I still learn a thing or two here BUT, no child of mine will get trapped in the west I intend to make sure od that. We can't think for the short term we must think of the next generation, and to hand over to them we must build their mindset and we must break the veil of depression and not being enough mentality the west sell to them. This thing is deep. This thing is real. They are selling their gold street and high rise to lure people, but the damage they do is truly covert, and it takes you valuable youth years before you see it.
Many people have sold their properties and moved to abroad and they are suffering there broke. The feeling of home does not depend purposely on money, but natural freedom.
But how can they be broke? Did he/she come without papers? Or are they being choosy on what kind of job? Let’s be honest there are jobs in America, but are you will to do some of the jobs as long as you’re here legitimately. If you live in a place like Texas? There are jobs! Let’s stop with the broke & suffering nonsense! I believe all human beings can survive anywhere as long as there’s a working & fair system.
@@The_Cruise_Fam I live in the UK and there are people that are broke. There are a lot of Africans doing minimum wage jobs such as cleaning, security etc just to get by while cost of living is expensive. It's not easy to just get a high paying job. There are highly qualified Africans whose qualifications aren't regarded here so they end up having to do these low paid jobs.
Lots of teachable moments here! What Jeffrey doesn't get is that the West will gladly pay him a mere $60k/year so long as he doesn't try to propel himself to the $600k level & above. That's when he'll really see the true colors start to emerge from the status quo! Daniel wants to help build Ghana! That's Ubuntu. Jeffrey wants to satisfy his family. He has a lot to learn about the power in unity!
That is a lie; what law or legal practices in the West- let us keep it in the U.S for argument sake, that suggests a conscious attempt to keep one from moving up the hierarchy?
When you work in the foreign system they benefit because you must pay taxes on the money you work for, the close you buy, food. Nothing is free when you work here.
Stop saying that the diaspora wants to help build Ghana. That is a blatant lie. Have they been able to build the impoverished communities in the hoods? Have they ever built a community before? If not , his on earth can they help build a country? How many of them who have .moved to Ghana have been able to put up any establishment that Ghanaians can point at to say , yes, this is towards building Ghana? Most of the diasporas moving to Ghana and Africa in general are BROKE, have no transferable skills, lack higher education in the STEM fields. They are just getting by in their countries. In other words , FROM HAND TO MOUTH types. They can never help build Ghana. Ghanaians are not illiterates.
Jeffrey is still young and too immature to understand why and how America is where ii is and why Africa is poor. He will change and see things differently when he gets to his 40s. He comes back to ghana to show off the crumbs and lie to his friends about all the bling in America. As for Mr King, you are so wise and u speak the truth bro.
He will still come back and lie to Ghanaians. Majority of these brothers only work,work,work . They don't even know the country in which they live. They only rent a room and come back home to boast.
So Many instances where I wanted to slap Jeffrey through the phone but you see I understand the pain in his dialogue. He’s mostly correct about the reality. However to the Ghanaian youth and viewers. Listen , if you ever watch this, adopt the mindset of Daniel. Shoutouts to you Daniel. The few who really understand have listened. Excellent dialogue brother💯
This young Ghana boy has made some good points. But he is too combative and he lacks wisdom. My Jamaican guy is coherent and has lots of wisdom. Wisdom comes with age. I hope most Ghanaians will get opportunities to travel and learn. There’s so much hidden in poverty.
@@islandsun8235 The intelligent ones know that you don't build a nation with with people who don't have any skills. We are not looking living in the Jungle era.
@@islandsun8235 You must be one of those less educated ones. These is a reason why the advanced countries do allow easy entry for highly educated people. England, Canada, etc do so. They don't make it easy for those who can not contribute to the development of their countries.
But he got to let go the victim mentality. I am from Georgia ( USA ) where the worst atrocity of the slave trade that existed for over 400 years. Yes, we need to come back to the motherland but only if we can contribute. We don't need to bring our troubles to Africa., like running away just because of police brutality and such. I live in Atlanta Georgia where the civil rights movement was the reason for the independence for Africa was fought after a long battle for civil rights. The fight continues. African Americans can make a difference and yes , many of us are coming back to the motherland to invest and we are not coming with a victims mindset. Too many of the Diaspora are coming with a saviors mindset and many come there and are not even trying to learn the languages they speak other than English. Many are using Pan African to promote themselves and keep the victim mentality mindset.
Daniel is not displaying a victim mentality , we are victims but we can fight victim Hood. If you choose to be in places that limits your direct fight with the systenof rasism/white supremicy, why shouldn't you. You have made the choice to stay in a place you know and to fight the system from that space. There is a peace that is derived by not not sharing direct space with those who seek to do you harm.
@@DarekBirton No bredda you cant let go of the Victim mentality when its in your DNA. You use it to fuel yourself to do better things in Africa. We must never forget what happened and do not forget the Arab Slave Trade. A lot of Africans use Europe and America as an escape but do not even know what we went through. The rest of the world cant function without Africa PERIOD. This is where we should be helping each other. But you are right about some people using pan african to promote themselves which i think is selfish. As long as we trust one another we dont need no help from no other countries.
I lived in Ghana for a yr. The help that is needed is in house not outside. Diaspora’s need to open businesses in Ghana and pay the people good. Ghana has everything they don’t even know it. They have food everywhere most importantly. They have bricks to build and people to work. I lived in Achimota, Amasaman, Hacho, East Lagon, Adenta, Osu, Nema, Spintex and what I noticed is that Ghana has everything but the people who run the economy is terrible. Ghana needs better economic system. They have culture and everything we’ve lost but all they can think about is money when it should be education. Education will bring more inventions. More inventions brings more comfortability.
Granny, you did not have us in your mind. You fought for your own freedom. We go to different part of the world to struggle to make it, not only America
@@tekenta-neter7944 Ghana as well as other African governments has to treat diaspora's the same as they do non Blacks who come into their countries or it makes no sense to come there. The U.S. was built from small businesses and that worked well. Black Americans complain about getting shook down for licenses for businesses. Small business hired more people than corporations. Now corporations are taking over and killing small business who will never pay more than cheap labor. This is what Jeffery is going to run into. He will be cheap labor paying $2,000 a month for rent. If we don't help each other, we all are going to suffer. The burden can't be on coming here and displacing our working poor. Black Americans don't leave their poor people, suffering, we can't!. Our ancestors NEVER taught that. Now all the resources we pay and fight for goes to people who are pouring in over the border to be cheap labor. People are now protesting of all cultures because U.S. jobs are being cut and people are being laid off. Open Migration is coming to an end!
Both men have good reasoning, but at the end of the day, it's survival for the fittest. Bob Marley said in his music lyrics...Emancipate YOURSELVES from mental slavery, only YOURSELVES can FREE OUR MINDS! Critical thinking is the ultimate challenge for most, but a definite effort should made for a greater understanding how important it is to THINK! GOD BLESS AFRICA, we have been suffering for too long. Good luck bothers.
Jeffrey doesn’t understand that some of his frustrations are really opportunities. The example of the car breaking down is a business. Start a roadside assistance business instead of dreaming about working for someone else in the west.
It's our African hard labour and resources that has made the western countries what it is today. Therefore, if we keep the resources and the labour in Africa, we would became a super power. I agree with Mr Kiing.
You won't be a super power until you learn to love yourselves. African Americans are exactly the same. We are all divided in every possible way. The super power of whites is that they are in love with their whiteness. The destruction of blacks is is that we hate our blackness! None of our lives will change until we are able to resolve this problem Africa is the perfect example. Everything is run by blacks. Greatest resources in the world. Yet the average person is poor. California apparently has a greater economy than the entire continent of Africa. That would not be possible if whites hated themselves and each other. Black people work to make their individual selves wealthy, not their people. White people work to maintain white supremacy which lifts all white people up, mentally and economically. So as long as blacks don't care about each other, a politician will sell all of your resources to make himself rich, while African countries remains in poverty. The same is happening with black people around the world. All of us are the same. Mentally broken, self destructing, no unity, self hate, desperate to be white and escape blackness.
Sweet Badd What Africa hard labor and resources would that be that has built the U.S.! Africans came to the U.S are Refugees and migrants walking in over the borders in the 21st century. Most of you flooded in here after Obama. It was the hard labor, ingenuity, talent, and brilliance of "BLACK AMERICANS ANCESTORS (their children), who are FBA, ADOS, Black Americans, who LABOR and TALENT made THE U.S. a wealthy nation! Europe got and have always gotten African resources and now China has joined them. So you can stop the LIE! Africans in the 21st century came to the U.S., as ILLEGAL CHEAP LABOR, working for the direct benefit of CORPORATIONS who practice cheap labor. Any strides you made, was a pulled up off the backs of Black Americans. Africans just like THE MAJORITY Immigrants are on the WELFARE SYSTEM in the U.S.! Which means the majority of you came with no money and are dependent on PUBLIC SERVICES! We as U.S. TAXPAYERS, pay for your shelter, food, and medical care and the education of your children. WE pay for your being in this country. Only some among you are making a decent living! The U.S. have a TRADE DEFICIT with Africa. They buy more from Africa, than get export to Africa. The U.S. placed bases in Africa and they pay someone for them being there. Tell your governments to tell them to leave. The U.S. is resource rich, it actually don't need African resources. I.E. why they give you AID! Stop taking it! The only people who's hard labor built the United States of America, are BLACK AMERICANS, and OUR ANCESTORS. Not African immigrants, who are crossing the borders, even now. What on earth did you build in the U.S? Also SUPER POWERS, have super militaries. Where is Africa's military? Africa cannot tell Europeans or China to leave your lands. This country has been built and thriving for generations because of my ancestors! 21st century Immigrants cost the U.S. more in SERVICES than they pay in TAXES! You were allowed to come here to help tear down the economic viability and influence of Black Americans. Black Immigrants know this and now so do we. Once your usefulness is gone you will see how the real racism exists. This is why we will never support this type of immigration anymore. Africa has TRADED one OPPRESSOR for another! Welfare Use by Immigrant and Native Households Center for Immigration Studies cis.org › Report Welfare use varies among immigrant groups. Households headed by immigrants from Central America and Mexico (73 percent), the Caribbean (51 percent), and Africa (48 percent) have the highest overall welfare use. Those from East Asia (32 percent), Europe (26 percent), and South Asia (17 percent) have the lowest.
Labour and resources are pointless without the proper mentality intellectual power and innovative mindset. Only in a corruption free functioning system can people thrive and develop
I can relate to both sides. I was born and raised in Jamaica, and the difficulties the young man talks about is very much the same. There is a lot of corruption that contributes to why our country are like that. I left Jamaica 8 years ago to the US and now want to go back home. Yes you can make money here but it's not the best place to raise your children and it's mentally draining. I suffer depression in the winter it's just a lot more to living here. I want to save up and get out of here
The difference is, if the corruption is as a results of our own doing, then we can fully blame ourselves, but when the western system has got you in the neck, that’s the effects..we had our own spirituality that kept us in check and never encouraged corruption, until these people came along..we’re not playing on an equal field, they had us in negatives, trying to get to zero before we can start fixing..that’s the damage on us and our system.
Quote: when the white man came to Africa, he has the Bible. We had the land! He said, “Close your eyes & let’s pray”. When we opened our eyes they had the land and we had the Bible! Daniel has the knowledge & firsthand experience that this young brother lacks. The sterile British education system has nearly erased the brutality they brought to the continent as oppressors. The history is grossly distorted. They left Ghana in 1957 & left behind the devastation and disaster that we see today! Jeffrey must realize that the West will never allow him to rise above the glass ceiling which purposely keeps us from exceeding the boundaries they’ve put in place! Thanks for the very candid discussion.
Krissy Fusion I find it extremely amazing that people come from Black countries where everyone look like them and complain about corruption and lack opportunities but will not stay and fight for those opportunities. Black Americans for 400 years have had to fight our way out of bondage, fight through Jim Crow, fight for Civil Rights and still endure racism to get opportunities. Yet instead of fighting in your countries for the opportunities you deserve, you come here and compete for opportunities and resources that are suppose to go to u.s. citizens. Jamaica crime rate is out of control and that same criminal activity exists in NY, FL and in every enclave in cities where Jamaican and other immigrants live. The same crimes that exist in the Caribbean, Latin America and Africa followed you. We are paying for everyone coming over that border and that is pushed into our communities. I have NEVER seen Africa or the Caribbean extend a hand to Black Americans. I see our working poor ending up being the working homeless while their taxes pay to house people who walk in. I am not saying this is you but I see these same people who immigrated here get online and thrash Black Americans, while taking advantage of everything our people fought and died for. Therefore if you are in a Black nation, and you will not fight for opportunities for your children, I don't blame Black Americans nor South Africans for now standing up and suing if necessary to stop this kind of cheap labor genocide so their children will have a future in their own homeland!
@@msrubie11 The truth of the matter is, Immigrants R far hard working, than Black Americans. U call a Mexican to do a job, he will do his job, without taking cigarettes breaks. Explain to me why so many Immigrants wash dishes and pick apples, and still make it. Y'all can work and do the same. How many Mexicans U see wearing brand name clothes, driving Benz, and living in rent house? When U go into a neighborhood, Black Neighborhood, U can tell who R Immigrants and who R not. Stop blaming Immigrants for foolishness. Work two and three jobs, like them. They pay more taxes then U do.
Danial and Jeffery has really made my day I can understand where both are coming from; having these conversations alone is a win to all Africa youth change is coming and the narrative is gradually & beautifully changing. May the blood of our ancestors keep on speaking for its people. God bless our motherland. Respect to Webnation Africa for making this happen ✊🏾
The benefit system in the UK is NOT FREE. THIS IS PAID BACK THROUGH THE TAX EVERY TAX YEAR! The UK system locks you in their system, whatever money you earn, is not for you, you pay your landlord/mortage company, bills, after all that deduction, you barely have any money left. Heaven is in Ghana, he just doesn't see it and he easily believes the B.S. his friends in the Dispora tell him. Ghana has its issues, and we all need to help the motherland and not runaway from it.
Do you know the sort of taxes young men and women pay in Ghana. There's even Covid19 levy still in place,NHIS,GETFUND etc. yet our roads, healthcare are in tatters. Where does the money go? At least with all the taxes in the UK, when I call 191, an ambulance will pull up
I am in the process of expatriating from America to East Africa. I think those of us in the west who are coming back home, must understand that we too have a responsibility to pour back into the youth. Many of us are coming with resources. I plan to open up several businesses (one being a training school) to pour back. Those of us who were chosen for this cause, it is our DUTY to help place Africa back on her throne! ❤🖤💚 One love family!
@Unsweetened8618 if you're referring to African nations/Asiatic Blacks selling one another, I have been studying the subject extensively, lately, & have found many sources, if you would maybe like to dig in yourself. See, we simply need to understand that the reason for that was that Africa hadn't been PAN-AFRICAN then. 😂 Yes, on average, Afro-Socialism was the pre-colonial African model, which IS how we SHOULD live rn 🥱, but...THEY LACKED THAT PAN-AFRICAN MODEL! 🤌🏾
41:06 There is nothing that can be said to have this guy understand the heart of why diasporans move to Ghana. He values material things over everything else in life. He doesn’t have any understanding of life 'purpose' and the desire to make change and make an impact in Africa. His sole goal is to make money regardless Nothing else is important to him than money. I see him as someone who would sell his soul for the almighty dollar.
@Ivy Prosper. I was disapponted when the interviewer told him the brother depleted all his resources but is still standing. He was arrogant enough not to ask how he did it. He is young, knows a bit of information but not all so he does not get a complete picture. Having said that we were all his age, and we know youth comes with a lot of exuberance -good and bad. Some experiences just come with living longer. At the same time his exuberance and imagination also leads to innovation which is good. Great conversation.
Thanks sir, whatever the UK guy is saying is the truth about the UK and West at large, most of us diasporas were trapped. The West uses black people to step on each other's toe to rise up
Imagine buying a bedroom set on credit!! That is how the system traps you. They make interest on your purchases as you keep buying more items using the visa card. As opposed to Ghana where you pay in cash for everything you own and move on to the next plan.
Very good dialogue. It was very good to hear both sides. Just as I said in the last video, Jeffery is sadly mistaken about racism in the west and his narrative of Blacks in America is that of the white man’s perspective. Good talk!
I found your channel through LYFE with the Kings We moved to Ghana from the US a little over nine months ago and I wouldn’t change it for anything! My husband is From Ghana and I was born in the US. We are trying to show people that it can be done and there is great opportunity here which is what I told my husband when I first visited in 2018 very powerful videos. Keep up the great work Africa to the world.
I’ve experienced both Ghana and UK. True, there are pros and cons to both places but what Daniel is talking about is LEGACY. And ultimately it’s all about the way we THINK! Mindset is paramount!
Mr King all I can say relax my dear brother this is what you were looking for all along I'm a SAfrican bro. Congratulations keep it up with your work I enjoy seeing new things every day
Is about living within your means. Ghanaians LOVE / WORLDLY material things instead of CREATING generational wealth. If Ghanaians STOP competing among themselves they can live a happy life in whatever / wherever they may be.
They complain about the system but they aren't ready for the change. Let them leave, we're returning to force the system change. The west didn't change till people demanded for change. He think he can help everyone travel but what he hasn't thought of is, the majority of Ghanaians will never travel out of Ghana even if they try. Let's fix the place so we can all have it good there.
Omg, to the host thank you so much for this interview and having both parties this is amazing. I agree 💯 percent with Daniel and changing the mindset. Maybe when he gets older he will understand better Daniel because right now his mindset and he is still too young to understand.
The problem we have in Africa is the twisted mindset displayed by the Ghanaian. "Do for self" is not in their vocabulary. Sad. We will continue to be slaves as long as we think like guys like this.
As an African I fully understand where Jeff I coming from. It takes long for Africans to understand King's wisdom. I also understand King because I have lived the system and learned a lot from it which made me appreciate my life on the continent. Education on both sides is needed♥️
Let the Tattooed-Ghanaian stay in the West, and let the Jamaican/British Strive & Thrive on in Africa...!!! Time Is The Master... Time Will Tell... It Always Does! "Each to his own"
Gh boy, got a little taste of microwave, fridge, and to be on the credit system and he thinks he has arrived. Someone needs to sit him down and teach him.
Man oh MAN this is so relevant!!! I can clearly see both sides of the argument. You both are excellent at expressing your points of view. I think epigenetics has to be taught at the elementary level. I think if we better understood each other, this would bring us closer together. Our young brother doesn't quite understand how trauma passes along through the genetic coding system. And how this gene coding in the body effects our decisions right up to this day. I also understand Jeffrey's point about the youth having nothing. And how western societies give them the opportunity to GAIN something. We all were 28 once. I thought the same as he in my youth. The panthers taught us better than anyone how we have to FEED OUR PEOPLE FIRST....before they would ever stop to even listen. A starving man could care less about the future....they are gonna go INSTINCTIVELY to the one who's feeding them. Which is why they run to the belly of the beast. I love this exchange. All I see is progress as I watch and listen. We are actually changing the course of history...right here...right now!
My Ghanaian brother has to come and see for himself I came to Canada🇨🇦 throw Ghana🇬🇭 from Liberia 🇱🇷 12 years ago what I have to say is that coming to the West is not what I thought. And things have gone worse as compared to 2011 to 2023 you can make money but it is not you have to spend the money with interest. I know this brother will not get it we are African seen is believe
Who says you can come to the UK and get rich in a year that's a myth. The average Ghanaian in the UK or the West hasn't even got £2000 in their account, I can guarantee you that
There is no coming to uk and becoming rich in a year😂😂people who have been working for years are not rich..just comfortable, stagnant, no promotion. Yes they can send money to their families in africa, but what else?
I don't even have to watch this entire video to comment even though I will because I'm subscriber of this great channel that's very informative and I've been following Daniel King and his family for quite some time and now his daughters and son-in-laws channels back to Africa I watched the interview with Jeffrey and Jeffrey I can understand his perspective being a Ghanaian and then travel in the world China and perhaps the US Jeffrey is deluded thinking that 17 $20 an hour is a lot of money it's a lot of money if you're in Ghana making 17, 20 US dollars an hr. I'm a Jamaican born raised in the US citizen college grad professional career in banking and finance and I can tell you in my perspective 17 to $20 an hour is minimum wage. You can't even rent a studio apartment with that low wage that doesn't include utilities food car insurance if your car is paid for we won't even talk about a car note so Jeffrey is highly deluded he needs to listen to his elder Mr King to hear what he has to say because Mr. Kiing speaks truth based on experience. I think one of the major contributing factor to Africans thinking that the West is a bed of roses is simply because they don't know the history of the Transatlantic slave trade the middle passage that whole thing I think if they went and study the history of slavery and what took place on the motherland to the west and the Americas and also speak to someone that have experience racism brutality and inequality perhaps Jeffrey and others like him will have a better understanding of what Mr King is saying and what life in the West is like compared to those that were born on the continent of Africa
EXCELLENT CONVERSATION! I AM AN AFRICAN BORN IN AMERICA. I LIVED IN GHANA FOR 9 YEARS. I WILL RETURN. I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR ALL PEOPLE TO TRAVEL. THOSE THAT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY MUST TAKE IT. WE ARE ALL HERE TO DO SOMETHING UNIQUE TO OUR OWN JOURNEY. EVERYONE IS NOT MEANT TO BE A PIONEER. BOTH BROTHERS RAISED VERY REAL POINTS! AS A PAN-AFRICANIST, I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO BUILD A BETTER AFRICA. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO SHOW OUR AFRICAN YOUTH THE VALUE OF AFRICA AND WHY WE MUST FIGHT FOR SELF-DETERMINATION! I WOULD SAY TO THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT WANT TO TRAVEL OUT OF AFRICA, CREATE A SOLID PLAN. BE SMART. ‘GO COME’! AND, FOR THOSE TRAVELING TO AFRICA, ALSO BE SMART. SEEK THE KNOWLEDGE FROM THE PIONEERS THAT CAME AND STAYED FOR YEARS IN AFRICA. LEARN FROM THEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. FORWARD EVER! 🇬🇭♥️✊🏿
I think both sides have good points this is a great dialogue that needs to happen. Diasporans have one perspective and Africans have another and both are right and wrong at the same time.
This was a very good and informative conversation I must say it brakes my heart when the brother from Ghana said " What am I going to do in Ghana ? " I can see that hard truth, all blacks need to put our resources together to support or create businesses that create global products where each purchase benefits Ghana and all of Africa. It's time we stop looking the other way and let's bring our skills, expertise, experience and capabilities back HOME to Africa and assist our brothers and sisters in Ghana and all of Africa and produce global products made in Africa under one brand and sell them globally, a company that's not corrupt where half or even more than half of the profits go's directly back to our people in Mother Africa as help. Building Africa's Brand with global products made in Africa with fair sharing of wealth will benefit all black people everywhere. So " Up you mighty race you can accomplish what you will " said by Marcus Garvey
Daniel from uk speaks sound wisdom. Jeffrey, your African mindset is what is going to stop Africa from advancing...that's not an insult, i understand where you're speaking from... from a post colonial mindset. I'm African, been living in the uk for the last 20 years, I have a great job in the gvt but I'm seeing things from Daniels perspective now becauseI'm still a slave to the system. When i ran from Africa, i was running from the African system that you're talking about, but now I'm seeing from Daniels lenses that i should return and build Africa. Hopefully, this conversation will also trigger your mindset to think build Africa. After all Africa need strong men like you. Dont allow the pain of past African systems and upbringing numb you to cause you forget your beautiful land. Don't give up on the continent brother. Please and Bless.
A school friend of mine in the uk was unaware he had a visa of indefinite leave to remain and not british citizenship ( as both carried the same rights) he had not left the country since he had been brought as a baby and had never owned a passport as an adult. while at school he started getting involved with wrong company and went to prison when he was due for release they found out his status and revoked his visa and dropped him in Kotoko Airport with no money and only his possessions from prison he could not get even speak any of the dialects his family assisted him at first until he became a burden. At first all he wanted to do was make it to a western country by any means necessary to no avail. When he realised there was no way back and he had to make the most of a bad situation he changed his mindset i know it was not easy and he had to hit rock bottom but by the grace of God and extreme hustling he is now doing ok he is not rich he is not poor but he has managed to curve something out for himself i know presently the struggle in Ghana at this present time has hit him harm but he is striving and surviving if he had to choice to run back to the uk most definitely he would but Ghana has made him a better person if he stayed in the uk he may of been in and out of prison. The point of this story is not to say Ghana is easy but to the youth in Ghana need to know they have no choice but to struggle and make it work and accept the harsh realities because when they do they will stop wasting time and money and help us get that one step closer to changing it for the next generation unfortunately this generation will be the martyrs for change if they don’t it will never change and that’s the sad truth. We Ghanaians have forgotten the strength of our ancestors who knew the importance of fighting for a better Ghana.
I think this conversation is vital because both men made such powerful arguments. I understand both completely. There is not only one way. One thing I do know Africa needs to build and it must be done by African.
GHANAIANS COME TO UNITED STATES AND BECOME DOCTORS AND ENGINEERS. ITS TIME TO EDUCATE THE YOUNG IN GHANA. AMERICAN AFRICANS, BRING MONEY TO GHANA AND BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE. GHANAIANS WILL TRAVEL TO USA IF THEY WANT YES, BUT DONT IGNORE GHANA.
@wisdom a Will they understand? They are eager to leave today than even before. When you have the guts to travel back home and stay more than they expect you to be there, the kind of questions they will ask you, will let you bore.
Even when the adult was pouring out expensive wisdom for free, the young guy with tryinna be American accent couldn’t get it 🤦🏾♂️ he was all about $17 $20 minimum wage, benefits, his car, going to club and being hailed because he’s traveled and returned with some 💵…he never talked about owning business but rather spending money…the west programming has easily worked on him.
This was an amazing conversation. Very enlightening! Both perspectives are valid. It all comes down to which stage of the journey you are on. Mr. King has discovered himself and life‘s purpose and he is implementing a service to to others philosophy. Jeffery is on the journey to self discovering and meeting his basic needs.
Both make good points. One thing I will say is that it seems like a lot of the diasporans making moves in Africa are taking advantage AFTER they made wealth in the West. However, the West is wealthy in the first place because of their exploitation of Africa and other developing economies.
Daniel King is saying it as it is. Seeing is believing and wish Jeffery would go and leave there year after year. There is no life there. One keeps working round the clock and yes you will get all the cleaning jobs available. You can never grow in that system.
Also to say the diaspora is taking advantage is a low blow. People were born there so whatever they have they make the move and come to Ghana or any part of Africa and make things happen for themselves with a freedom we’ve never had.
Good insightful debate from 2 very different perspectives. I think we have a duty to contribute to this discussion to disabuse those who believe the youth cannot make it in Ghana.
Changing ones mentality is easier when you can see a difference. Sometimes, it is better to move somewhere else- not necessarily the USA or to Europe, but somewhere else where you really have to struggle by yourself.
TIME FOR AFRICANS TO BUILD AFRICA CREATE MIDDLE CLASS. TIME FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS TO COME TO GHANA BUSINESS MENTALITY. BUY LAND INVEST. DONT BRING THE SLAVE MENTALITY FROM AMERICA OR UK, DONT BRING NEGATIVE BLAMING WHITE MAN FOR FAILURES. STOP RELYING ON WHITE MAN. GHANIANS NEED TO SHOW MORE OF THEIR EMPIRES AND RELICS TO THE WORLD. GHANAIN EMPIRES WERE AROUND THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE ROME AND EUROPE EXISTED. GHANIAN AMERICANS AFRICAN AMERICANS NEED TO INVEST HERE IN GHANA. GHANA HAS NATURAL RESOURCES, STOP SELLING ONLY THE RESOURCES TO CHINA. INSPIRE THE LEADERS OF GHANA TO CREATE MIDDLE CLASS.
Good points on both sides. This was a great conversation. I do think creating opportunities in Ghana for the younger ones coming up with the Money you make abroad would make a difference for the next generation to build on and expand without leaving Ghana. Yes visit the west but make the change for your home land.
OH MY GOD THIS MAN IS A SAVIER TAKE HIM CONSTANTLY IN YOUR PROGRAM,MR KING YOU ARE A ROLE MODEL,I WISH YOU LONG LIVE.THANK YOU MR.KING KEEP ON TELLING AFRICA THE GOSPEL.THANK YOU MY BROTHER.
Jeffrey is a typical young Ghanaian who thinks living in America or Canada is heaven. He wants a fast life and thinks about materialism. He wants to go to America and thinks in a year he will make thousands. Has he thought about how long it will take to even get his papers. Daniel spews wisdom and I hope he listens. Jeffery is in a hurry and looks thirsty and desperate. He is the kind of guy who will do anything for money and travel to America. I hope he gets a plane ticket to travel and go to America and we will ask him in a year if he got his papers and if he is earning millions. He is an escapee. I wish him well.
I’m an African he is childish comparing beating in school with trauma from slavery it’s preposterous! Also the 2 are on a different level. He has a lot to learn. I traveled to England for greener pastures and you may be able to achieve certain materials goals but at what cost? Whenever I get off the flight home to Ghana, the feeling is priceless but I’m aware that people are suffering in Ghana too but it’s real the sufferings of others from the west too both are real. We need collaboration to solve our problems to enjoy a real freedom for African/ black peoples
I am glad these men are talking in this way. Sitting watching this, I must admit that I am understanding the different mindsets, and why these men view the world in the different ways.
What the young Jeffrey is unaware is the bad system in Ghana/Africa is all as a results and effects of what the west colonisers left us, we had our traditions and systems that didn’t encourage corruption, our spirituality meant people were afraid to cheat on others or encourage corruption…our grandfathers were rich farmers and traders etc…all these politics , bad systems, hardships and corruption was as a results of what was left on us by the west…young Jeffrey is just about materialist rather than have a sound mentality of change and fix.
I am an African American; I was born in the U.S. of America, and my ancestors were stole from Africa and brought to U.S. in shackles. Daniel is telling you the truth. Afro people are discriminated against in the job market. Five thousand dollars a month in the U.S. is not sufficient to live comfortably; it will all be spent on rent or mortgage, utility bills, different types of insurance, and taxes. To save money in America, you must earn ten thousand a month and up. Many Nigerians, Ghanaians and Liberians have died in the United States before they were able to receive their Social Security benefits and Retirement benefits. There is a Ghanaian born man who moved to the United States from Ghana at the age seven. He was interviewed by Hayward of Webnation; his name is Kwabena, and he is also from the Ashanti tribe. He spoke about his experience in America.
Thank you Daniel King for telling it as it is. I don't think a number of Africans will understand the depth of the trauma you are talking about. I am from Uganda. Lived in Canada and mingled with the African Canadian to understand the history of the railway underground. Our school system does not do any justice on the subject. I learned a lot talking to the African Canadian about their history which they have fought hard to keep and pass it on. I had the chance to work in Canada and my African name was a problem. You are always reminded how you do not belong and this lowers your self esteem year after year. We need to respect ourselves and work hard to build our countries and make it attractive. Daniel King has lived in Ghana for 3 years and has sacrificed to make a home for himself. It all begins with sacrificing and living in a place where you feel safe and proud to feel a human being.
The other thing is continental Africans have lived in a different type of systemic racism than diasporans. the generational trauma is in our DNA not just physical and mental. This dialogue is a pure example of what the systemic racism has done to divide us and create a perspective that separates us.
I was born in ghana leaving in ghana never travel to any country before not educated as you may think no body helps me or consider me for anything always been opposed by people who i think can help me. for no reason because of the potentials in me .but i took it upon myself to make life of what i learned and very serious about it and am making life here by the grace of God am buying my 6th plot
As an African-American who’s traveled to Ghana, dated a Ghanian briefly & now married abt 3 yrs to a Jamaican, THIS debate warms my ❤. God please help my husband & I give our son the gift of education & financial freedom from the WEST.
Can someone one ask Jeffrey one question for me? There are soooo many rich people in Ghana asked him if all of them are rich because they travel abroad? Most rich Ghanaian people are rich and they started from the scratch. There is a lot of job for the youth just that they all want an office job and want someone to open a business to hire them. He’s talking about a coconut seller. Tell him i know a lady who sells ice water and have two kids and both kids are now in college with ice water money. And a friend of mine has built a house by selling coconut. Jeffrey advice your youth to do something for them self there are soo many opportunities in Ghana.
Jeffery about the passport issue I did mine without paying anyone and I don’t even know what you are talking about …Most Ghanaians want it quick so they pay people to fasten the process for them but trust me if you are able to follow the procedure you will get it within 2months ..
The Ghanaian education system doesn’t make us think correctly. A Ghanaian can raise £25k to pay his way to go struggle in the UK. Why don’t you use the same amount as capital to start a business? We don’t get it because of our mindset
For the tax service to come and shut your business down ? You guys are delusional on how systems work. I bought a land as a young boy with my savings and lost it. The police just kept taking money from me to investigate. I lost money and gave up as well! Fuck Ghana. I live in Ghana with a lot of hurt
Man this is a good interview! I would luv to do an interview with this young Ghanaian young man. He’s not overstanding anything the brotha from the UK is telling him!
I can relate to both them, Jeffrey the western countries are good for you, when are still young, when your energy is gone, that is when, you will understand the western system
I’m young, born in America, if that Ghanaian wants to come here let him. Idc he’ll be back anyway some people have to learn a hard lesson, if not through himself, he will learn through the children he will raise in the states
Can’t speak for Ghanians but I saw plenty of wealthy BLACK Ugandans brothers and sisters when I returned. I was inspired to stop making excuses and start building. The brother talking about African Americans and racism is embarrassing and is tethering hard. God bless Africa
It's the same in Ghana. When you return home, you see a lot of your peers doing good and living large but these people giving lot of youth unnecessary pressure.
Folks, this topic sadden me tremendously because there are many who left Ghana to the US, Canada, and UK thinking like Jeffrey, but for some reason or other they were not able to make it. They couldn't go home even once to visit their parents and siblings and end up dying abroad. On the hand, there are those who are working two or more jobs, building their masions back in their native lands, and when they retired, went home and die within short period of time.. Whereas, there are those who stayed back and bit by bit work their way up and are living a reasonable lives.. Daniel has chosen the narrow path and Jeffrey is choosing the straight path. Give both men ten years prospertivly, and let's see the outcome of their lives. May Yahweh give us all wisdom, knowledge and understanding to choose the right path for our survival. Thanks for your time. Shalom. Stay blessed. ✌️😍🙏.
Excellent discussion bro thanks for hosting this debate 🙏🏾. As a black American man let me weigh in. There is truth on both sides and in my opinion it boils down to this. Life requires work, the work looks different from region to region around the world. There is dignity in work. However, as a black man, you are REQUIRED to work harder at the COST of your dignity. I have a co worker at a warehouse who is from the Congo, he is a civil engineer from an African University. He has been reduced to an order picker in a dusty warehouse (there is still honor and dignity in that mind you). He is constantly ridiculed for his accent (even though he speaks 5 languages and most Americans can barley speak their own) he is called names “African booty scratcher” and so on. He is 15 years my senior. However my non degree holding self is his supervisor. This is backwards. To add to this, he is ignored by everyone in any discussion. I have all of the qualifications to be a Warehouse Manager with the work experience to back (16 years experience with CDLs) I am constantly passed up for the position for inexperienced, non degree holding white men for the position. This is an insult to dignity (which is why I’m about to leave this job). If you come to the USA, get your money and like the Mexicans, work 5-10 years and leave. Unless your dignity is for sell. I am sorry for the long post just wanted to weigh in
I met a guy from Jamaica and he said when he tell his people back home about how hard it is here in America he said they would say he just don’t want them to come 🤣 Daniel is completely right about Blacks in the UK and America. Like he said if all the Blacks move to Africa with their money in hand We can build Africa Up 🆙 We are stronger together 💪🏾✊🏾
someone needs to cause he is lost mentally but he isn't the only one ...there are a lot of Africans that have this mindset...trust me...I have met many
For me I wouldn’t be so crass as to say ‘come and see how tough it is here’. I would say please listen to those who know from lived experience in these places. It’s tough. Hard work works anywhere!
Jeffrey let me tell you one important thing. You can make $5000 a month in the us.but do you know something? By the time monthly payment takes away all that money and you are left with nothing, then you will know that not all that glitters is gold.
Great conversation. As an immigration solicitor (lawyer) of over 20 years I’ve not seen clients come to the West and become rich. (eg Outside London: income £1500, government tax is £500; rent £800 then bills, travel & food - so what are you going to save?). If you enter legally and can legally work, with planning after many years, it is possible to save something small and return to Africa to do something. However, in all my years I’ve seen maybe 1% of people do this and that is usually their last money. Please, just seeing your friends reach the UK / West does not mean they are suddenly successful. Yes, let’s keep these conversations going for mutual understanding.
You are correct about savings but also as black people we lack a good understanding of money. One thing i would advise any young person when you are starting off put aside at least 10% of your gross into a retirement plan. Here in the US with most good jobs ( or over 60% of jobs) they offer a 401K plan and the company will match up to a certain percentage so if you put 10% it is effectively 20% in a fund. Within 2 years you are vested but off course its pretax so you have to pay taxes and a penalty for early withdrawals. Our people need to learn to save instead of prioritizing nice clothes and cars. Having concrete plans and managing personal finances is key. Most wish to return home but dont plan so fail to return home. Rather sad.
Why are you only talking about the cons of the west? How many people can work and earn a decent job in Africa. The masses are suffering in Africa and that’s a fact. No one is saying moving to the west is a done deal but one a scale of 0 to 100 it’s has helped a lot of people
This interview is 💣💣💣💣. I was thinking like Jeffrey when I was living in ghana 😂😂. Now that I have been in the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧 for a long time now my mindset has changed. We are trapped for real. We all need to come bk to Africa, the diaspora is Overrated 💯💯💯 Daniel is speaking the minds of most diasporans.
@49:07.... The point here. Perfect opportunity, start a AAA business helping people towing for broken down cars.... Create the opportunity. We all have to think out of the box. I'm a mother, wife and served my time in the military in the U.S.. I cant wait to move to the continent. Right next to the KIING family. @1:00:00 I just hope that as we (U.S., Canadians, Uk) come home to the Continent, that the scales start to balance out. That we don't say that Africa is being “Gentrification” by western Blacks.
As I said before regarding Jeffrey's last interview, he raises some valid points about the current system in Ghana and the level of struggle and poverty that a lot of Ghanaians experience. It is a real thing. Jeffrey strikes me as a Taurus. If you know anything about horoscopes, you would know that we Taurus people are very stubborn and headstrong. We have to learn and see things for ourselves. We are not willing to just take someone else's word for it. Trust me, I know! Lol I think the even bigger issue here is that Jeffrey doesn't REALLY get the big picture. . . and a lot of Africans don't because the system of education, which is the same British colonizer's system of education, is NOT designed to empower them to fully understand WHY their Continent and their respective country is in the position that it is in. The SAME colonizers' country and system that Jeffrey is running to is the SAME colonizer that has Ghana in its present economic condition! It was done by DESIGN so that they can continue to plunder Africa's natural resources while it's people suffer. The truth is, the government / political leaders of most of these African countries are simply puppets of the West! Now I am not saying that Ghanians should never travel and seek opportunities to make money in their colonizers land. But bring that money back home to Africa like you see the diasporas doing and become part of the SOLUTION. Make Ghana a better place for you children and great grandchildren and the great-grandchildren of your cousins and neighbors and your boys on the street. Ypu can't just sit there and tell me that there is nothing you can do to change Ghana while Europe and America and China continue to plunder it's natural resources and get rich.
We really need to wake up and understand how the Scramble for Africa still continues. It is our responsibility to wake up and change our countries to work for us so that we don't have to go freeze in these countries spiritually, physically and emotionally.
@@nyakanga - Wow! @ "So we don't have to freeze in these counties physically, mentally and spiritually". That really spoke to my soul because that has been exactly how I have felt living in the US! Not only is the weather cold, but so is the culture.
@@LuvvMyBrownSkin I know right. We don't like being wrong which is definitely a bad thing. At the same time not always being moved or swayed by popular opinion is a great trait.
As a Ghanaian that have lived abroad for over 20yrs, I totally understand both sides of the argument but when Jeffrey lives abroad for a while, he will change his mind about Ghana. Now if everyone is running away to the western, who will build Ghana for us to come back to show our benz or whatever bling we have. I go home regularly and I wish I can relocate back yesterday but I have kids now and as soon they are sorted am out.
This is understandable, but I personally feel that EVEN if all our African brothers travel West to work & all our Diasporan brothers travel East to build, our African brothers coming home will complain of what their Diasporan brothers built without their African brother's direct input & there will STILL be division! Africa needs ALL of her children TOGETHER on her soil to create an AFRO-SOCIALIST/PAN-AFRICANIST foundation. Maybe if we were all open to the whole Nguzo Saba concept, it'd really work, but then 1st, maybe it's best to access our own selves. If westernized luxuries are in our goals, then AFRICA will never prosper, actually! We MUST 👀 our role in our own struggles, and focus more on sustainability & do away with conveinces that only cripple us further! 🥺 If only we would relate to each other, we could work wonders! 🤗
This young man has no idea of what happens in the West, he will have a rude awakening. I live in the UK and it is very difficult living here. Most people coming from Africa have to live in overcrowded accommodation because housing is very expensive. I hope he take the advice of the UK brother.
Yeah he doesn't know what happens but what he is saying it doesn't matter what color. Racism exists among your own people. Case AimPoint they have videos of black men actually degrading the chocolate beautiful sisters that are on here and basically saying they would never wipe them they would sleep with them they're pretty but no your not wifey material because you're too dark.
Both Africa and the U.S. is being ran by men. Women are always sexually exploited when it comes to jobs it's just not on a large-scale like it is in Africa. Africa is so behind because of the greed of these leaders who should not be president for over thirty and forty years that's a dictatorship. There is no way I would want a leader to be over my country and nothing is changing from one day to the next. That's insanity. Jeffrey is so right there is no system setup to protect the people and they take 11 years to give you a damn passport man they're holding those people their hostage😂😂

I think building up your country is more important than owning a Honda car.
💯 💯 💯 The fact that this even needs to be said. The African education system has clearly failed an entire generation (because many continental Africans think like Jeff).
Ghana boy have long way to learn. I left business partners in Ghana to UK about 23 years ago. And they are all ahead of me in terms of wealth.
don't mind him. he is a fool
He a uncle Tom, he prefer to come clean they asses, their floors, work on the garbage truck, lol
Bros na you miss road 😅,
what about what u haven been exposed to in the UK, can you buy what you have been exposed in the UK with money. See you are not making sense. Experiences in life worth more than money.
U didn’t learn anything when u traveled that’s why .
For the young brother, who seem to think it’s impossible to make it in Ghana , He identified a problem. His car broke down and he couldn’t get the help he needed. He can start a towing company and mechanic services and employ his boys on the street.
Wonderful idea!
Young Jeffrey is a perfect example of “All that glitters is Gold” whiles adult Daniel knows that “All that glitters are not Gold”
that’s what I observed in the whole debate.
Your handle is dripland?

As an Ethiopian diaspora millennial who was born and raised in the wealthiest country in Europe, and having studied and lived in all the major financial and tech hubs in the Western Hemisphere, growing up in an affluent environment and holding down a 200k+ annual wage, some will call that the ultimate success for an early 30 year old., but the truth is that Daniel not only possesses a valid standpoint but also exhibits a significantly more advanced perspective than his Ghanaian counterpart when it comes to perceiving the intricacies and long-term implications of ideas and legacies in an ever-evolving world, considering the historical atrocities endured by Sub Saharan Africans and their descendants.
I comprehend that a childhood spent in a village and a life of arduous struggle in Africa during the 90s undoubtedly fosters a mindset of scarcity rather than abundance. However, what concerns me most is that individuals from the African continent are increasingly adopting a simplistic mentality, with the wisdom and principles of the past fading away. They now perceive luxury items such as Chanel purses, Patek Philippe watches, and Range Rover Sports as the epitome of success in life. Regrettably, they fail to recognize that they will never attain genuine influence, respect, or equality in the Western Hemisphere. Jeffrey, on the other hand, will likely experience humbling sooner rather than later.
Yup!
Correct! Well put.
❤️ 😍
I concur completely
and why do you think he has all of that. Because he has been more exposed that the Ghana guy, so its only fair for the ghana guy to get exposed too. Its easy to have alot f perspective if you are exposed.
80% of us Ghanaians thinks like Jeffrey and it is so heartbreaking. We lack critical thinking.
That’s how our system made us
We can accomplished so much if we think outside the box.
💯💯 Very sad
You villager. Where is the statistics to prove that 80 percent of Ghanaians think like him? Are you ok? Some Ghanaians do not think before saying something and you are the number one of that group. Which institution conducted that research and came up with that 80 percent? You village boy. Think before you utter your mouth next time.
More like W.African regions.
I live in the UK. Im in my 30s and I was born here and its a trap. The cost of living is sky high, the food is crap, the racism, the cold weather. Starting a family feels impossible, rent is high and my mental health is declining. If all of us Africans came together, so many opportunities could be created. If you leave to go to the West make sure you have a plan to return as soon as possible and find solutions to the problems you have in your home country to make a good living.
Why do you stay and why are so many people wanting to live here in UK?
Trapped in the trap
Jeffrey has his eyes fixed on money. He’s very delusional about culture, politics, and history. In Jamaica we walked everywhere as children. I walked to pre-k with two other children the same age. It was about two miles and back then people were like how they are now in Ghana. He was physically abused racially from China and he doesn’t even know it. He reported on a man being assaulted racially who died in China because of his color and he doesn’t connect it. He should come to the west and get this money he wants so badly then after 20 years he should report back out on his experience then I’ll listen 🙇🏾♀️ Money is needed to live everywhere but peace of mind, spirit and soul is priceless. Thanks Daniel for your wisdom.
The Mind of a PIMP! .... moneyminded even IT costs him or others their souls
Jeffrey look like a five dollar version of Tyler Perry
Before I came to the U.S., I used to go to the trash place to collect iron parts and supply a company in tons, and I supply wpk to some German company in Lagos. I made serious money and purchased a 3 ton flat bed truck, and I was in Lagos Island doing some serious stuff legitimately. Fast forward, I left and got to the U.S. and saw the hypocrisy, and from the day I recognize it, I have channeled 90% of all I earned to building commercial building back home. And secured a 200acre back home to grow and produce what I'll sell in the commercial building. I cut down my expenses, I do t let the glitter trap me. I wish I never came, would have gone way far but I still learn a thing or two here BUT, no child of mine will get trapped in the west I intend to make sure od that. We can't think for the short term we must think of the next generation, and to hand over to them we must build their mindset and we must break the veil of depression and not being enough mentality the west sell to them. This thing is deep. This thing is real. They are selling their gold street and high rise to lure people, but the damage they do is truly covert, and it takes you valuable youth years before you see it.
very well said
Amen to that
Many people have sold their properties and moved to abroad and they are suffering there broke. The feeling of home does not depend purposely on money, but natural freedom.
But how can they be broke? Did he/she come without papers? Or are they being choosy on what kind of job?
Let’s be honest there are jobs in America, but are you will to do some of the jobs as long as you’re here legitimately. If you live in a place like Texas? There are jobs!
Let’s stop with the broke & suffering nonsense!
I believe all human beings can survive anywhere as long as there’s a working & fair system.
That's what many people don't know
@@The_Cruise_Fam I live in the UK and there are people that are broke. There are a lot of Africans doing minimum wage jobs such as cleaning, security etc just to get by while cost of living is expensive. It's not easy to just get a high paying job. There are highly qualified Africans whose qualifications aren't regarded here so they end up having to do these low paid jobs.
My Jamaican brother, your talking the truth.

Lots of teachable moments here! What Jeffrey doesn't get is that the West will gladly pay him a mere $60k/year so long as he doesn't try to propel himself to the $600k level & above. That's when he'll really see the true colors start to emerge from the status quo! Daniel wants to help build Ghana! That's Ubuntu. Jeffrey wants to satisfy his family. He has a lot to learn about the power in unity!
A six figure salary is a threat because you can save your money!
What he's saying is he good with the 60k
That is a lie; what law or legal practices in the West- let us keep it in the U.S for argument sake, that suggests a conscious attempt to keep one from moving up the hierarchy?
When you work in the foreign system they benefit because you must pay taxes on the money you work for, the close you buy, food. Nothing is free when you work here.
Stop saying that the diaspora wants to help build Ghana. That is a blatant lie. Have they been able to build the impoverished communities in the hoods? Have they ever built a community before? If not , his on earth can they help build a country? How many of them who have .moved to Ghana have been able to put up any establishment that Ghanaians can point at to say , yes, this is towards building Ghana? Most of the diasporas moving to Ghana and Africa in general are BROKE, have no transferable skills, lack higher education in the STEM fields. They are just getting by in their countries. In other words , FROM HAND TO MOUTH types. They can never help build Ghana. Ghanaians are not illiterates.
Jeffrey is still young and too immature to understand why and how America is where ii is and why Africa is poor. He will change and see things differently when he gets to his 40s. He comes back to ghana to show off the crumbs and lie to his friends about all the bling in America. As for Mr King, you are so wise and u speak the truth bro.
I totally agree and could not have said it better
He will still come back and lie to Ghanaians. Majority of these brothers only work,work,work . They don't even know the country in which they live. They only rent a room and come back home to boast.
Exactly
Nuff blessings to you all. Nuff respect
he is a fool.
So Many instances where I wanted to slap Jeffrey through the phone but you see I understand the pain in his dialogue. He’s mostly correct about the reality.
However to the Ghanaian youth and viewers. Listen , if you ever watch this, adopt the mindset of Daniel.
Shoutouts to you Daniel. The few who really understand have listened. Excellent dialogue brother💯
😅😅😅😅 I also wanted to slap the naive young ghanaen through the screen
This young Ghana boy has made some good points. But he is too combative and he lacks wisdom. My Jamaican guy is coherent and has lots of wisdom. Wisdom comes with age. I hope most Ghanaians will get opportunities to travel and learn. There’s so much hidden in poverty.
The young Ghanaian is much more sensible.

DANIEL IS VIBRATING SO SO HIGH. He is truly a Leader of Innovation
But he got to let go the victim mentality. I am from Georgia ( USA ) where the worst atrocity of the slave trade that existed for over 400 years. Yes, we need to come back to the motherland but only if we can contribute. We don't need to bring our troubles to Africa., like running away just because of police brutality and such. I live in Atlanta Georgia where the civil rights movement was the reason for the independence for Africa was fought after a long battle for civil rights. The fight continues. African Americans can make a difference and yes , many of us are coming back to the motherland to invest and we are not coming with a victims mindset. Too many of the Diaspora are coming with a saviors mindset and many come there and are not even trying to learn the languages they speak other than English. Many are using Pan African to promote themselves and keep the victim mentality mindset.
Daniel is not displaying a victim mentality , we are victims but we can fight victim Hood. If you choose to be in places that limits your direct fight with the systenof rasism/white supremicy, why shouldn't you. You have made the choice to stay in a place you know and to fight the system from that space. There is a peace that is derived by not not sharing direct space with those who seek to do you harm.
@@DarekBirton No bredda you cant let go of the Victim mentality when its in your DNA. You use it to fuel yourself to do better things in Africa. We must never forget what happened and do not forget the Arab Slave Trade. A lot of Africans use Europe and America as an escape but do not even know what we went through. The rest of the world cant function without Africa PERIOD. This is where we should be helping each other. But you are right about some people using pan african to promote themselves which i think is selfish. As long as we trust one another we dont need no help from no other countries.
My brother remember when go to the west you must first get your paper before you can work and make money 💰

I am 75 years and a grand mother. We fought here in America for people like Jeffery. It makes me so sad to see our youths think like him.
I lived in Ghana for a yr. The help that is needed is in house not outside. Diaspora’s need to open businesses in Ghana and pay the people good. Ghana has everything they don’t even know it. They have food everywhere most importantly. They have bricks to build and people to work. I lived in Achimota, Amasaman, Hacho, East Lagon, Adenta, Osu, Nema, Spintex and what I noticed is that Ghana has everything but the people who run the economy is terrible. Ghana needs better economic system. They have culture and everything we’ve lost but all they can think about is money when it should be education. Education will bring more inventions. More inventions brings more comfortability.
Bro said he would never move back to Ghana. Wow! There is no use for this conversation
Granny, you did not have us in your mind. You fought for your own freedom. We go to different part of the world to struggle to make it, not only America
@@tekenta-neter7944
Ghana as well as other African governments has to treat diaspora's the same as they do non Blacks who come into their countries or it makes no sense to come there. The U.S. was built from small businesses and that worked well. Black Americans complain about getting shook down for licenses for businesses. Small business hired more people than corporations. Now corporations are taking over and killing small business who will never pay more than cheap labor. This is what Jeffery is going to run into. He will be cheap labor paying $2,000 a month for rent. If we don't help each other, we all are going to suffer. The burden can't be on coming here and displacing our working poor. Black Americans don't leave their poor people, suffering, we can't!. Our ancestors NEVER taught that. Now all the resources we pay and fight for goes to people who are pouring in over the border to be cheap labor. People are now protesting of all cultures because U.S. jobs are being cut and people are being laid off. Open Migration is coming to an end!
Both men have good reasoning, but at the end of the day, it's survival for the fittest. Bob Marley said in his music lyrics...Emancipate YOURSELVES from mental slavery, only YOURSELVES can FREE OUR MINDS!
Critical thinking is the ultimate challenge for most, but a definite effort should made for a greater understanding how important it is to THINK! GOD BLESS AFRICA, we have been suffering for too long. Good luck bothers.
Jeffrey doesn’t understand that some of his frustrations are really opportunities. The example of the car breaking down is a business. Start a roadside assistance business instead of dreaming about working for someone else in the west.

Facts
The brotha from Jamaican is highly experienced and educated on the reality. The Ghanaian needs to widen his mind.
It's our African hard labour and resources that has made the western countries what it is today. Therefore, if we keep the resources and the labour in Africa, we would became a super power. I agree with Mr Kiing.
You won't be a super power until you learn to love yourselves. African Americans are exactly the same. We are all divided in every possible way. The super power of whites is that they are in love with their whiteness. The destruction of blacks is is that we hate our blackness! None of our lives will change until we are able to resolve this problem Africa is the perfect example. Everything is run by blacks. Greatest resources in the world. Yet the average person is poor. California apparently has a greater economy than the entire continent of Africa. That would not be possible if whites hated themselves and each other. Black people work to make their individual selves wealthy, not their people. White people work to maintain white supremacy which lifts all white people up, mentally and economically. So as long as blacks don't care about each other, a politician will sell all of your resources to make himself rich, while African countries remains in poverty. The same is happening with black people around the world. All of us are the same. Mentally broken, self destructing, no unity, self hate, desperate to be white and escape blackness.

What Africa hard labor and resources would that be that has built the U.S.! Africans came to the U.S are Refugees and migrants walking in over the borders in the 21st century. Most of you flooded in here after Obama. It was the hard labor, ingenuity, talent, and brilliance of "BLACK AMERICANS ANCESTORS (their children), who are FBA, ADOS, Black Americans, who LABOR and TALENT made THE U.S. a wealthy nation!
Europe got and have always gotten African resources and now China has joined them. So you can stop the LIE! Africans in the 21st century came to the U.S., as ILLEGAL CHEAP LABOR, working for the direct benefit of CORPORATIONS who practice cheap labor. Any strides you made, was a pulled up off the backs of Black Americans.
Africans just like THE MAJORITY Immigrants are on the WELFARE SYSTEM in the U.S.! Which means the majority of you came with no money and are dependent on PUBLIC SERVICES! We as U.S. TAXPAYERS, pay for your shelter, food, and medical care and the education of your children. WE pay for your being in this country. Only some among you are making a decent living!
The U.S. have a TRADE DEFICIT with Africa. They buy more from Africa, than get export to Africa. The U.S. placed bases in Africa and they pay someone for them being there. Tell your governments to tell them to leave. The U.S. is resource rich, it actually don't need African resources. I.E. why they give you AID! Stop taking it!
The only people who's hard labor built the United States of America, are BLACK AMERICANS, and OUR ANCESTORS. Not African immigrants, who are crossing the borders, even now. What on earth did you build in the U.S? Also SUPER POWERS, have super militaries. Where is Africa's military? Africa cannot tell Europeans or China to leave your lands. This country has been built and thriving for generations because of my ancestors!
21st century Immigrants cost the U.S. more in SERVICES than they pay in TAXES! You were allowed to come here to help tear down the economic viability and influence of Black Americans. Black Immigrants know this and now so do we. Once your usefulness is gone you will see how the real racism exists. This is why we will never support this type of immigration anymore. Africa has TRADED one OPPRESSOR for another!
Welfare Use by Immigrant and Native Households
Center for Immigration Studies
cis.org › Report
Welfare use varies among immigrant groups. Households headed by immigrants from Central America and Mexico (73 percent), the Caribbean (51 percent), and Africa (48 percent) have the highest overall welfare use. Those from East Asia (32 percent), Europe (26 percent), and South Asia (17 percent) have the lowest.
@@samsamura2640 Does it matter where I'm residing?
Labour and resources are pointless without the proper mentality intellectual power and innovative mindset. Only in a corruption free functioning system can people thrive and develop
Two great brothers having a great conversation. This is the year of TRUTH. Keep on teaching . Keep spreading truth. Hope to see you in Ghana soon.
I can relate to both sides. I was born and raised in Jamaica, and the difficulties the young man talks about is very much the same. There is a lot of corruption that contributes to why our country are like that. I left Jamaica 8 years ago to the US and now want to go back home. Yes you can make money here but it's not the best place to raise your children and it's mentally draining. I suffer depression in the winter it's just a lot more to living here. I want to save up and get out of here
The difference is, if the corruption is as a results of our own doing, then we can fully blame ourselves, but when the western system has got you in the neck, that’s the effects..we had our own spirituality that kept us in check and never encouraged corruption, until these people came along..we’re not playing on an equal field, they had us in negatives, trying to get to zero before we can start fixing..that’s the damage on us and our system.
Quote: when the white man came to Africa, he has the Bible. We had the land! He said, “Close your eyes & let’s pray”. When we opened our eyes they had the land and we had the Bible!
Daniel has the knowledge & firsthand experience that this young brother lacks. The sterile British education system has nearly erased the brutality they brought to the continent as oppressors. The history is grossly distorted. They left Ghana in 1957 & left behind the devastation and disaster that we see today! Jeffrey must realize that the West will never allow him to rise above the glass ceiling which purposely keeps us from exceeding the boundaries they’ve put in place! Thanks for the very candid discussion.

I find it extremely amazing that people come from Black countries where everyone look like them and complain about corruption and lack opportunities but will not stay and fight for those opportunities. Black Americans for 400 years have had to fight our way out of bondage, fight through Jim Crow, fight for Civil Rights and still endure racism to get opportunities. Yet instead of fighting in your countries for the opportunities you deserve, you come here and compete for opportunities and resources that are suppose to go to u.s. citizens. Jamaica crime rate is out of control and that same criminal activity exists in NY, FL and in every enclave in cities where Jamaican and other immigrants live. The same crimes that exist in the Caribbean, Latin America and Africa followed you. We are paying for everyone coming over that border and that is pushed into our communities. I have NEVER seen Africa or the Caribbean extend a hand to Black Americans. I see our working poor ending up being the working homeless while their taxes pay to house people who walk in. I am not saying this is you but I see these same people who immigrated here get online and thrash Black Americans, while taking advantage of everything our people fought and died for. Therefore if you are in a Black nation, and you will not fight for opportunities for your children, I don't blame Black Americans nor South Africans for now standing up and suing if necessary to stop this kind of cheap labor genocide so their children will have a future in their own homeland!
@@msrubie11 The truth of the matter is, Immigrants R far hard working, than Black Americans. U call a Mexican to do a job, he will do his job, without taking cigarettes breaks. Explain to me why so many Immigrants wash dishes and pick apples, and still make it. Y'all can work and do the same. How many Mexicans U see wearing brand name clothes, driving Benz, and living in rent house? When U go into a neighborhood, Black Neighborhood, U can tell who R Immigrants and who R not. Stop blaming Immigrants for foolishness. Work two and three jobs, like them. They pay more taxes then U do.
Danial and Jeffery has really made my day I can understand where both are coming from; having these conversations alone is a win to all Africa youth change is coming and the narrative is gradually & beautifully changing. May the blood of our ancestors keep on speaking for its people. God bless our motherland. Respect to Webnation Africa for making this happen ✊🏾
The benefit system in the UK is NOT FREE. THIS IS PAID BACK THROUGH THE TAX EVERY TAX YEAR! The UK system locks you in their system, whatever money you earn, is not for you, you pay your landlord/mortage company, bills, after all that deduction, you barely have any money left. Heaven is in Ghana, he just doesn't see it and he easily believes the B.S. his friends in the Dispora tell him. Ghana has its issues, and we all need to help the motherland and not runaway from it.
I fully agree, why go suffer in a foreign land?
I agree with you
Do you know the sort of taxes young men and women pay in Ghana. There's even Covid19 levy still in place,NHIS,GETFUND etc. yet our roads, healthcare are in tatters. Where does the money go? At least with all the taxes in the UK, when I call 191, an ambulance will pull up

@Unsweetened8618 if you're referring to African nations/Asiatic Blacks selling one another, I have been studying the subject extensively, lately, & have found many sources, if you would maybe like to dig in yourself. See, we simply need to understand that the reason for that was that Africa hadn't been PAN-AFRICAN then. 😂 Yes, on average, Afro-Socialism was the pre-colonial African model, which IS how we SHOULD live rn 🥱, but...THEY LACKED THAT PAN-AFRICAN MODEL! 🤌🏾
@@UbuntuPrep Okay, well they can stay like that.😹😹😹😹😹
41:06 There is nothing that can be said to have this guy understand the heart of why diasporans move to Ghana.
He values material things over everything else in life. He doesn’t have any understanding of life 'purpose' and the desire to make change and make an impact in Africa.
His sole goal is to make money regardless Nothing else is important to him than money. I see him as someone who would sell his soul for the almighty dollar.
@Ivy Prosper. I was disapponted when the interviewer told him the brother depleted all his resources but is still standing. He was arrogant enough not to ask how he did it. He is young, knows a bit of information but not all so he does not get a complete picture. Having said that we were all his age, and we know youth comes with a lot of exuberance -good and bad. Some experiences just come with living longer. At the same time his exuberance and imagination also leads to innovation which is good. Great conversation.
“PUT YOURSELF IN A POSITION OF POWER” ~said by Daniel 💯 is how you help
Went right over his head smh… so sad
Thanks sir, whatever the UK guy is saying is the truth about the UK and West at large, most of us diasporas were trapped. The West uses black people to step on each other's toe to rise up
Imagine buying a bedroom set on credit!! That is how the system traps you. They make interest on your purchases as you keep buying more items using the visa card. As opposed to Ghana where you pay in cash for everything you own and move on to the next plan.

We moved to Ghana from the US a little over nine months ago and I wouldn’t change it for anything! My husband is From Ghana and I was born in the US. We are trying to show people that it can be done and there is great opportunity here which is what I told my husband when I first visited in 2018 very powerful videos. Keep up the great work Africa to the world.
im glad to hear that! my husband is going to see how he likes it in ghana
I’ve experienced both Ghana and UK. True, there are pros and cons to both places but what Daniel is talking about is LEGACY. And ultimately it’s all about the way we THINK! Mindset is paramount!
Mr King all I can say relax my dear brother this is what you were looking for all along I'm a SAfrican bro. Congratulations keep it up with your work I enjoy seeing new things every day
Is about living within your means. Ghanaians LOVE / WORLDLY material things instead of CREATING generational wealth. If Ghanaians STOP competing among themselves they can live a happy life in whatever / wherever they may be.
They complain about the system but they aren't ready for the change. Let them leave, we're returning to force the system change. The west didn't change till people demanded for change.
He think he can help everyone travel but what he hasn't thought of is, the majority of Ghanaians will never travel out of Ghana even if they try.
Let's fix the place so we can all have it good there.
Well said!
The whole of the continent or maybe West/East Africa may need a massive revolution! A really BIG ONE!
Omg, to the host thank you so much for this interview and having both parties this is amazing. I agree 💯 percent with Daniel and changing the mindset. Maybe when he gets older he will understand better Daniel because right now his mindset and he is still too young to understand.
The problem we have in Africa is the twisted mindset displayed by the Ghanaian. "Do for self" is not in their vocabulary. Sad. We will continue to be slaves as long as we think like guys like this.
I do understand the guy from the UK. I had a similar experience in the USA. The two systems were not designed to promote black people.
I don't care about the UK. I'm American. His parents could've stood in the Caribbeans
UK is White People's homeland. American's is minds. That's his problem
As an African I fully understand where Jeff I coming from. It takes long for Africans to understand King's wisdom. I also understand King because I have lived the system and learned a lot from it which made me appreciate my life on the continent. Education on both sides is needed♥️

Ghana is a broken system that can be fixed. He is lazy and spoiled.
Gh boy, got a little taste of microwave, fridge, and to be on the credit system and he thinks he has arrived. Someone needs to sit him down and teach him.
Man oh MAN this is so relevant!!! I can clearly see both sides of the argument. You both are excellent at expressing your points of view.
I think epigenetics has to be taught at the elementary level. I think if we better understood each other, this would bring us closer together. Our young brother doesn't quite understand how trauma passes along through the genetic coding system. And how this gene coding in the body effects our decisions right up to this day.
I also understand Jeffrey's point about the youth having nothing. And how western societies give them the opportunity to GAIN something. We all were 28 once. I thought the same as he in my youth.
The panthers taught us better than anyone how we have to FEED OUR PEOPLE FIRST....before they would ever stop to even listen. A starving man could care less about the future....they are gonna go INSTINCTIVELY to the one who's feeding them. Which is why they run to the belly of the beast.
I love this exchange. All I see is progress as I watch and listen. We are actually changing the course of history...right here...right now!
My Ghanaian brother has to come and see for himself
I came to Canada🇨🇦 throw
Ghana🇬🇭 from Liberia 🇱🇷 12 years ago what I have to say is that coming to the West is not what I thought.
And things have gone worse as compared to 2011 to 2023 you can make money but it is not you have to spend the money with interest.
I know this brother will not get it we are African seen is believe
Good message baby
It's called going INTO _SLAVERY_ 🔗
Yeah its not what it seems until you come here. And thats why this dialogue is so important
NINJA'S have to learn the hard way.
Yes! The grass on the other side is not always greener, most of the time it is fake.
Who says you can come to the UK and get rich in a year that's a myth. The average Ghanaian in the UK or the West hasn't even got £2000 in their account, I can guarantee you that
It’s a lie tho
Lies
There is no coming to uk and becoming rich in a year😂😂people who have been working for years are not rich..just comfortable, stagnant, no promotion. Yes they can send money to their families in africa, but what else?
I don't even have to watch this entire video to comment even though I will because I'm subscriber of this great channel that's very informative and I've been following Daniel King and his family for quite some time and now his daughters and son-in-laws channels back to Africa I watched the interview with Jeffrey and Jeffrey I can understand his perspective being a Ghanaian and then travel in the world China and perhaps the US Jeffrey is deluded thinking that 17 $20 an hour is a lot of money it's a lot of money if you're in Ghana making 17, 20 US dollars an hr. I'm a Jamaican born raised in the US citizen college grad professional career in banking and finance and I can tell you in my perspective 17 to $20 an hour is minimum wage. You can't even rent a studio apartment with that low wage that doesn't include utilities food car insurance if your car is paid for we won't even talk about a car note so Jeffrey is highly deluded he needs to listen to his elder Mr King to hear what he has to say because Mr. Kiing speaks truth based on experience. I think one of the major contributing factor to Africans thinking that the West is a bed of roses is simply because they don't know the history of the Transatlantic slave trade the middle passage that whole thing I think if they went and study the history of slavery and what took place on the motherland to the west and the Americas and also speak to someone that have experience racism brutality and inequality perhaps Jeffrey and others like him will have a better understanding of what Mr King is saying and what life in the West is like compared to those that were born on the continent of Africa

I think both sides have good points this is a great dialogue that needs to happen. Diasporans have one perspective and Africans have another and both are right and wrong at the same time.
This was a very good and informative conversation I must say it brakes my heart when the brother from Ghana said " What am I going to do in Ghana ? " I can see that hard truth, all blacks need to put our resources together to support or create businesses that create global products where each purchase benefits Ghana and all of Africa. It's time we stop looking the other way and let's bring our skills, expertise, experience and capabilities back HOME to Africa and assist our brothers and sisters in Ghana and all of Africa and produce global products made in Africa under one brand and sell them globally, a company that's not corrupt where half or even more than half of the profits go's directly back to our people in Mother Africa as help. Building Africa's Brand with global products made in Africa with fair sharing of wealth will benefit all black people everywhere. So " Up you mighty race you can accomplish what you will " said by Marcus Garvey
Well put! 🙌🏾
Hayford is doing the Lords Work. We need this type of dialog amongst the diaspora. Salute Hayford.
Daniel from uk speaks sound wisdom. Jeffrey, your African mindset is what is going to stop Africa from advancing...that's not an insult, i understand where you're speaking from... from a post colonial mindset. I'm African, been living in the uk for the last 20 years, I have a great job in the gvt but I'm seeing things from Daniels perspective now becauseI'm still a slave to the system. When i ran from Africa, i was running from the African system that you're talking about, but now I'm seeing from Daniels lenses that i should return and build Africa. Hopefully, this conversation will also trigger your mindset to think build Africa. After all Africa need strong men like you. Dont allow the pain of past African systems and upbringing numb you to cause you forget your beautiful land. Don't give up on the continent brother. Please and Bless.
A school friend of mine in the uk was unaware he had a visa of indefinite leave to remain and not british citizenship ( as both carried the same rights) he had not left the country since he had been brought as a baby and had never owned a passport as an adult. while at school he started getting involved with wrong company and went to prison when he was due for release they found out his status and revoked his visa and dropped him in Kotoko Airport with no money and only his possessions from prison he could not get even speak any of the dialects his family assisted him at first until he became a burden. At first all he wanted to do was make it to a western country by any means necessary to no avail. When he realised there was no way back and he had to make the most of a bad situation he changed his mindset i know it was not easy and he had to hit rock bottom but by the grace of God and extreme hustling he is now doing ok he is not rich he is not poor but he has managed to curve something out for himself i know presently the struggle in Ghana at this present time has hit him harm but he is striving and surviving if he had to choice to run back to the uk most definitely he would but Ghana has made him a better person if he stayed in the uk he may of been in and out of prison. The point of this story is not to say Ghana is easy but to the youth in Ghana need to know they have no choice but to struggle and make it work and accept the harsh realities because when they do they will stop wasting time and money and help us get that one step closer to changing it for the next generation unfortunately this generation will be the martyrs for change if they don’t it will never change and that’s the sad truth. We Ghanaians have forgotten the strength of our ancestors who knew the importance of fighting for a better Ghana.
I think this conversation is vital because both men made such powerful arguments. I understand both completely. There is not only one way. One thing I do know Africa needs to build and it must be done by African.
Facts
This guy from UK is full of wisdom.
GHANAIANS COME TO UNITED STATES AND BECOME DOCTORS AND ENGINEERS. ITS TIME TO EDUCATE THE YOUNG IN GHANA. AMERICAN AFRICANS, BRING MONEY TO GHANA AND BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE. GHANAIANS WILL TRAVEL TO USA IF THEY WANT YES, BUT DONT IGNORE GHANA.
@wisdom a Will they understand? They are eager to leave today than even before.
When you have the guts to travel back home and stay more than they expect you to be there, the kind of questions they will ask you, will let you bore.
Even when the adult was pouring out expensive wisdom for free, the young guy with tryinna be American accent couldn’t get it 🤦🏾♂️ he was all about $17 $20 minimum wage, benefits, his car, going to club and being hailed because he’s traveled and returned with some 💵…he never talked about owning business but rather spending money…the west programming has easily worked on him.
Please. We don't call that wisdom.
Yes
This was an amazing conversation. Very enlightening! Both perspectives are valid. It all comes down to which stage of the journey you are on. Mr. King has discovered himself and life‘s purpose and he is implementing a service to to others philosophy. Jeffery is on the journey to self discovering and meeting his basic needs.
And at the end of his journey, Jeffery will still end up having the same views such as Mr. Daniel.
Both make good points. One thing I will say is that it seems like a lot of the diasporans making moves in Africa are taking advantage AFTER they made wealth in the West. However, the West is wealthy in the first place because of their exploitation of Africa and other developing economies.
Daniel King is saying it as it is. Seeing is believing and wish Jeffery would go and leave there year after year. There is no life there. One keeps working round the clock and yes you will get all the cleaning jobs available. You can never grow in that system.
African's benefited from Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. F**k Them.
America wealth is not based off of Africa. Nice try though. Stop playing what us
Also to say the diaspora is taking advantage is a low blow. People were born there so whatever they have they make the move and come to Ghana or any part of Africa and make things happen for themselves with a freedom we’ve never had.
@@Unsweetened8618It's based off of the enslaving and free forced labor of AFRICANS!
Good insightful debate from 2 very different perspectives. I think we have a duty to contribute to this discussion to disabuse those who believe the youth cannot make it in Ghana.
Changing ones mentality is easier when you can see a difference. Sometimes, it is better to move somewhere else- not necessarily the USA or to Europe, but somewhere else where you really have to struggle by yourself.
TIME FOR AFRICANS TO BUILD AFRICA CREATE MIDDLE CLASS. TIME FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS TO COME TO GHANA BUSINESS MENTALITY. BUY LAND INVEST. DONT BRING THE SLAVE MENTALITY FROM AMERICA OR UK, DONT BRING NEGATIVE BLAMING WHITE MAN FOR FAILURES. STOP RELYING ON WHITE MAN. GHANIANS NEED TO SHOW MORE OF THEIR EMPIRES AND RELICS TO THE WORLD. GHANAIN EMPIRES WERE AROUND THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE ROME AND EUROPE EXISTED. GHANIAN AMERICANS AFRICAN AMERICANS NEED TO INVEST HERE IN GHANA. GHANA HAS NATURAL RESOURCES, STOP SELLING ONLY THE RESOURCES TO CHINA. INSPIRE THE LEADERS OF GHANA TO CREATE MIDDLE CLASS.
Good points on both sides. This was a great conversation. I do think creating opportunities in Ghana for the younger ones coming up with the Money you make abroad would make a difference for the next generation to build on and expand without leaving Ghana. Yes visit the west but make the change for your home land.
OH MY GOD THIS MAN IS A SAVIER TAKE HIM CONSTANTLY IN YOUR PROGRAM,MR KING YOU ARE A ROLE MODEL,I WISH YOU LONG LIVE.THANK YOU MR.KING KEEP ON TELLING AFRICA THE GOSPEL.THANK YOU MY BROTHER.
This boy need to come to uk let him come here he will learn he will see 🔥 he is very naïve young man
Jeffrey is a typical young Ghanaian who thinks living in America or Canada is heaven. He wants a fast life and thinks about materialism. He wants to go to America and thinks in a year he will make thousands. Has he thought about how long it will take to even get his papers. Daniel spews wisdom and I hope he listens. Jeffery is in a hurry and looks thirsty and desperate. He is the kind of guy who will do anything for money and travel to America. I hope he gets a plane ticket to travel and go to America and we will ask him in a year if he got his papers and if he is earning millions. He is an escapee. I wish him well.
He's a Sinister Tether.
The bills too
Jeffrey will have to find out the hard way what America is really about for himself.
When he can't find the gold on the streets, he will start selling drugs, then end up in prison, & become someone's girlfriend, lol, lol
This guy is eager to make money very fast in us, it might take him at least 5yrs to get settled with the help of others.
I’m an African he is childish comparing beating in school with trauma from slavery it’s preposterous! Also the 2 are on a different level. He has a lot to learn. I traveled to England for greener pastures and you may be able to achieve certain materials goals but at what cost? Whenever I get off the flight home to Ghana, the feeling is priceless but I’m aware that people are suffering in Ghana too but it’s real the sufferings of others from the west too both are real. We need collaboration to solve our problems to enjoy a real freedom for African/ black peoples
This one is gonna be a great episode!
🔥
I am glad these men are talking in this way. Sitting watching this, I must admit that I am understanding the different mindsets, and why these men view the world in the different ways.
What the young Jeffrey is unaware is the bad system in Ghana/Africa is all as a results and effects of what the west colonisers left us, we had our traditions and systems that didn’t encourage corruption, our spirituality meant people were afraid to cheat on others or encourage corruption…our grandfathers were rich farmers and traders etc…all these politics , bad systems, hardships and corruption was as a results of what was left on us by the west…young Jeffrey is just about materialist rather than have a sound mentality of change and fix.
FactS!
Wow. U nailed it 💯
Facts
Ubuntu! The spirit of togetherness. You are because we are.
Thanks for bringing these two gentlemen together for discussion. I think we all learned something. 🙂
I am an African American; I was born in the U.S. of America, and my ancestors were stole from Africa and brought to U.S. in shackles. Daniel is telling you the truth. Afro people are discriminated against in the job market. Five thousand dollars a month in the U.S. is not sufficient to live comfortably; it will all be spent on rent or mortgage, utility bills, different types of insurance, and taxes. To save money in America, you must earn ten thousand a month and up. Many Nigerians, Ghanaians and Liberians have died in the United States before they were able to receive their Social Security benefits and Retirement benefits. There is a Ghanaian born man who moved to the United States from Ghana at the age seven. He was interviewed by Hayward of Webnation; his name is Kwabena, and he is also from the Ashanti tribe. He spoke about his experience in America.
Thank you Daniel King for telling it as it is. I don't think a number of Africans will understand the depth of the trauma you are talking about. I am from Uganda. Lived in Canada and mingled with the African Canadian to understand the history of the railway underground. Our school system does not do any justice on the subject. I learned a lot talking to the African Canadian about their history which they have fought hard to keep and pass it on. I had the chance to work in Canada and my African name was a problem. You are always reminded how you do not belong and this lowers your self esteem year after year. We need to respect ourselves and work hard to build our countries and make it attractive. Daniel King has lived in Ghana for 3 years and has sacrificed to make a home for himself. It all begins with sacrificing and living in a place where you feel safe and proud to feel a human being.
I'm a black American. I am still amazed that Barack Obama won two terms.
Daniel is an anomaly ~~ he is the exception, exception is not the rule.
Barack Obama is a sodomite that's how he won ... the Devil only promotes from within
Canada never had slaves. See y'all love to talk
Yeah that biracial half European half african won twice. And he shouldntve. Obama is trash
The other thing is continental Africans have lived in a different type of systemic racism than diasporans. the generational trauma is in our DNA not just physical and mental. This dialogue is a pure example of what the systemic racism has done to divide us and create a perspective that separates us.
We all carry trauma in our DNA because we have not healed.
I was born in ghana leaving in ghana never travel to any country before not educated as you may think no body helps me or consider me for anything always been opposed by people who i think can help me. for no reason because of the potentials in me .but i took it upon myself to make life of what i learned and very serious about it and am making life here by the grace of God am buying my 6th plot
I’m from USA 🇺🇸 watching this and this is interesting
As an African-American who’s traveled to Ghana, dated a Ghanian briefly & now married abt 3 yrs to a Jamaican, THIS debate warms my ❤.
God please help my husband & I give our son the gift of education & financial freedom from the WEST.
Can someone one ask Jeffrey one question for me? There are soooo many rich people in Ghana asked him if all of them are rich because they travel abroad? Most rich Ghanaian people are rich and they started from the scratch. There is a lot of job for the youth just that they all want an office job and want someone to open a business to hire them. He’s talking about a coconut seller. Tell him i know a lady who sells ice water and have two kids and both kids are now in college with ice water money. And a friend of mine has built a house by selling coconut. Jeffrey advice your youth to do something for them self there are soo many opportunities in Ghana.
Jeffery about the passport issue I did mine without paying anyone and I don’t even know what you are talking about …Most Ghanaians want it quick so they pay people to fasten the process for them but trust me if you are able to follow the procedure you will get it within 2months ..
I understand both points of view coming from different experiences and mindsets
Same here
The Ghanaian education system doesn’t make us think correctly. A Ghanaian can raise £25k to pay his way to go struggle in the UK. Why don’t you use the same amount as capital to start a business? We don’t get it because of our mindset
For the tax service to come and shut your business down ? You guys are delusional on how systems work. I bought a land as a young boy with my savings and lost it. The police just kept taking money from me to investigate. I lost money and gave up as well! Fuck Ghana. I live in Ghana with a lot of hurt
Man this is a good interview! I would luv to do an interview with this young Ghanaian young man. He’s not overstanding anything the brotha from the UK is telling him!
I can relate to both them, Jeffrey the western countries are good for you, when are still young, when your energy is gone, that is when, you will understand the western system
I’m young, born in America, if that Ghanaian wants to come here let him. Idc he’ll be back anyway some people have to learn a hard lesson, if not through himself, he will learn through the children he will raise in the states
Can’t speak for Ghanians but I saw plenty of wealthy BLACK Ugandans brothers and sisters when I returned. I was inspired to stop making excuses and start building. The brother talking about African Americans and racism is embarrassing and is tethering hard. God bless Africa
African Blacks come to America and assume what is propagated by media against Black as facts.
It's the same in Ghana. When you return home, you see a lot of your peers doing good and living large but these people giving lot of youth unnecessary pressure.
No you are embarrassing. The name you've chosen says it all. Black *mzungu* (correct spelling)🙄
Kudos Bro. May the most high bless you and your family. Your daughter and her husband's story is an inspiration.
Folks, this topic sadden me tremendously because there are many who left Ghana to the US, Canada, and UK thinking like Jeffrey, but for some reason or other they were not able to make it. They couldn't go home even once to visit their parents and siblings and end up dying abroad. On the hand, there are those who are working two or more jobs, building their masions back in their native lands, and when they retired, went home and die within short period of time.. Whereas, there are those who stayed back and bit by bit work their way up and are living a reasonable lives.. Daniel has chosen the narrow path and Jeffrey is choosing the straight path. Give both men ten years prospertivly, and let's see the outcome of their lives. May Yahweh give us all wisdom, knowledge and understanding to choose the right path for our survival. Thanks for your time. Shalom. Stay blessed. ✌️😍🙏.
He gonna sell dope, & end up in prison gonna
And there are people who made it out there in the west too .
Thanks!
Excellent discussion bro thanks for hosting this debate 🙏🏾.
As a black American man let me weigh in. There is truth on both sides and in my opinion it boils down to this. Life requires work, the work looks different from region to region around the world. There is dignity in work. However, as a black man, you are REQUIRED to work harder at the COST of your dignity. I have a co worker at a warehouse who is from the Congo, he is a civil engineer from an African University. He has been reduced to an order picker in a dusty warehouse (there is still honor and dignity in that mind you). He is constantly ridiculed for his accent (even though he speaks 5 languages and most Americans can barley speak their own) he is called names “African booty scratcher” and so on. He is 15 years my senior. However my non degree holding self is his supervisor. This is backwards. To add to this, he is ignored by everyone in any discussion. I have all of the qualifications to be a Warehouse Manager with the work experience to back (16 years experience with CDLs) I am constantly passed up for the position for inexperienced, non degree holding white men for the position. This is an insult to dignity (which is why I’m about to leave this job). If you come to the USA, get your money and like the Mexicans, work 5-10 years and leave. Unless your dignity is for sell. I am sorry for the long post just wanted to weigh in
I met a guy from Jamaica and he said when he tell his people back home about how hard it is here in America he said they would say he just don’t want them to come 🤣 Daniel is completely right about Blacks in the UK and America. Like he said if all the Blacks move to Africa with their money in hand We can build Africa Up 🆙 We are stronger together 💪🏾✊🏾
I would of love to be in this debate to educate this young man.
It's a waste of time.
someone needs to cause he is lost mentally but he isn't the only one ...there are a lot of Africans that have this mindset...trust me...I have met many
@@jayajaya788 you're right. I have many Ghanaian with this same mindset
Great show! Again you have knocked it out of the park. Very informative and enlightening. 💯
Thanks so much Daniel Kiing for sharing the truth! May TMH keep you in His favor as a shield (Psalm 5:12KJV).
For me I wouldn’t be so crass as to say ‘come and see how tough it is here’. I would say please listen to those who know from lived experience in these places. It’s tough. Hard work works anywhere!
Jeffrey let me tell you one important thing. You can make $5000 a month in the us.but do you know something? By the time monthly payment takes away all that money and you are left with nothing, then you will know that not all that glitters is gold.
Great conversation.
As an immigration solicitor (lawyer) of over 20 years I’ve not seen clients come to the West and become rich. (eg Outside London: income £1500, government tax is £500; rent £800 then bills, travel & food - so what are you going to save?).
If you enter legally and can legally work, with planning after many years, it is possible to save something small and return to Africa to do something. However, in all my years I’ve seen maybe 1% of people do this and that is usually their last money.
Please, just seeing your friends reach the UK / West does not mean they are suddenly successful.
Yes, let’s keep these conversations going for mutual understanding.
You are correct about savings but also as black people we lack a good understanding of money. One thing i would advise any young person when you are starting off put aside at least 10% of your gross into a retirement plan. Here in the US with most good jobs ( or over 60% of jobs) they offer a 401K plan and the company will match up to a certain percentage so if you put 10% it is effectively 20% in a fund. Within 2 years you are vested but off course its pretax so you have to pay taxes and a penalty for early withdrawals. Our people need to learn to save instead of prioritizing nice clothes and cars. Having concrete plans and managing personal finances is key. Most wish to return home but dont plan so fail to return home. Rather sad.
Why are you only talking about the cons of the west? How many people can work and earn a decent job in Africa. The masses are suffering in Africa and that’s a fact. No one is saying moving to the west is a done deal but one a scale of 0 to 100 it’s has helped a lot of people
This was your best show yet. you need to do this more often
Great conversation. 2 different points of views that both make sense. Blacks want Ghana and Ghanaians want and need America.
Both men made good points. Now we need to find the middle ground.
Yes I don't know where to stand in this 😂😂
My Jamaican bro is speaking the fact.. I like people who speak the truth about the West.
This interview is 💣💣💣💣. I was thinking like Jeffrey when I was living in ghana 😂😂. Now that I have been in the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧 for a long time now my mindset has changed. We are trapped for real. We all need to come bk to Africa, the diaspora is Overrated 💯💯💯
Daniel is speaking the minds of most diasporans.
Are home now?
Come back home bro , it’s hard in the uk .
Very interesting debate, one is talking spirituality and the long term and the other is talking finances and right now.
Mindset is key and lead by example! It is a slow ride indeed and build from the ground up internally.
@49:07.... The point here. Perfect opportunity, start a AAA business helping people towing for broken down cars.... Create the opportunity. We all have to think out of the box. I'm a mother, wife and served my time in the military in the U.S.. I cant wait to move to the continent. Right next to the KIING family. @1:00:00 I just hope that as we (U.S., Canadians, Uk) come home to the Continent, that the scales start to balance out. That we don't say that Africa is being “Gentrification” by western Blacks.
As I said before regarding Jeffrey's last interview, he raises some valid points about the current system in Ghana and the level of struggle and poverty that a lot of Ghanaians experience. It is a real thing.
Jeffrey strikes me as a Taurus. If you know anything about horoscopes, you would know that we Taurus people are very stubborn and headstrong. We have to learn and see things for ourselves. We are not willing to just take someone else's word for it. Trust me, I know! Lol
I think the even bigger issue here is that Jeffrey doesn't REALLY get the big picture. . . and a lot of Africans don't because the system of education, which is the same British colonizer's system of education, is NOT designed to empower them to fully understand WHY their Continent and their respective country is in the position that it is in.
The SAME colonizers' country and system that Jeffrey is running to is the SAME colonizer that has Ghana in its present economic condition! It was done by DESIGN so that they can continue to plunder Africa's natural resources while it's people suffer. The truth is, the government / political leaders of most of these African countries are simply puppets of the West!
Now I am not saying that Ghanians should never travel and seek opportunities to make money in their colonizers land. But bring that money back home to Africa like you see the diasporas doing and become part of the SOLUTION. Make Ghana a better place for you children and great grandchildren and the great-grandchildren of your cousins and neighbors and your boys on the street.
Ypu can't just sit there and tell me that there is nothing you can do to change Ghana while Europe and America and China continue to plunder it's natural resources and get rich.
We really need to wake up and understand how the Scramble for Africa still continues. It is our responsibility to wake up and change our countries to work for us so that we don't have to go freeze in these countries spiritually, physically and emotionally.
Wow i never thought or looked at horoscopes much. I am a Taurus and pretty headstrong too.
@@muchit3629 It can be a great asset, but it can also be a hinderance at times.😉
@@nyakanga - Wow! @ "So we don't have to freeze in these counties physically, mentally and spiritually".
That really spoke to my soul because that has been exactly how I have felt living in the US! Not only is the weather cold, but so is the culture.
@@LuvvMyBrownSkin I know right. We don't like being wrong which is definitely a bad thing. At the same time not always being moved or swayed by popular opinion is a great trait.
As a Ghanaian that have lived abroad for over 20yrs, I totally understand both sides of the argument but when Jeffrey lives abroad for a while, he will change his mind about Ghana. Now if everyone is running away to the western, who will build Ghana for us to come back to show our benz or whatever bling we have. I go home regularly and I wish I can relocate back yesterday but I have kids now and as soon they are sorted am out.
This is understandable, but I personally feel that EVEN if all our African brothers travel West to work & all our Diasporan brothers travel East to build, our African brothers coming home will complain of what their Diasporan brothers built without their African brother's direct input & there will STILL be division! Africa needs ALL of her children TOGETHER on her soil to create an AFRO-SOCIALIST/PAN-AFRICANIST foundation. Maybe if we were all open to the whole Nguzo Saba concept, it'd really work, but then 1st, maybe it's best to access our own selves. If westernized luxuries are in our goals, then AFRICA will never prosper, actually! We MUST 👀 our role in our own struggles, and focus more on sustainability & do away with conveinces that only cripple us further! 🥺 If only we would relate to each other, we could work wonders! 🤗
Big up wode maya promoting Ghana and Africa.
