    After many years of celebrating the diaspora and interviewing prominent diasporans, we have decided to set up the Diaspora Transition. The Diaspora Transition Network is a membership-based network for African Diasporans and returnees of various heritage currently residing in Ghana. This network will be a community for information sharing, skills exchange, cultural awareness, and a space for doing and discussing business. The Network will consist of quarterly meetings and social events to build a community of like-minded professionals. To be part of this initiative,

    'Other African countries see GHANA as A HAVEN'
    Indeed. And this perception isn't a mere illusion. In term of political stability, the political structure sustain it while in other countries such as Togo at East of Ghana, violence, terror of the 60 years old bloody and dynastic tyranny is the political structure, the stability isn't real at all. In Ghana the political leaders doesn't use issue related to development to justify a denial of freedom of the people. The people in Ghana aren't persecuted, killed, deprived, ruined by a political system
    Indeed I am not from Ghana I am a Togolese but I too strongly believe that GHANA as A HAVEN ”and I would say A haven of awakening.

If you say there is no heavy persecution of the government UNLESS YOU ARE ATTEEMPTING TO ENTER POLITICAL CIRCLES, then you are describing a very bad situation. Thousands innocents have been killed because they were suspected of wiling to do this and that, thousands have been arrested and disappeared.

    Good interview. Africa will be built by the youths not the older people because they do not see the entrepreneurial possibilities the same way and the ingrained idea of just living in the West is fulfilling to most and I can understand how that state of mind is hard to change.

      Don't fall into the foolish western way of thinking about 'generational divide'. All ages have things to contribute. Youth brings a new way of thinking, freshness, etc. Older people bring valuable experience - no point reinventing the wheel, etc.
      ALL ages bring a desire to see Ghana (or Nigeria or Jamaica or wherever) be BETTER.

      @@jackiedelvalle Oops, you did not read my post or understood the point. I always advise people to read the comment carefully. Generational "divide" was not suggested in my post, I simply drew a "contrast" but since you mentioned it, be sure it is NOT a Western concept. It exists wherever you can see stratification within demographics. The central thesis of my comment is that younger people see possibilities in Africa, are more exploratory and want to challenge themselves with new ideas in entrepreneurship. Older folks went to EU for greener pastures and most had given up on the domestic system. That's critical thinking in verbal reasoning. No attempt to lecture you. Be well, thanks.

      @@colorboxcosmetics8201 Steph, thank you for what you are doing and the inspiration it gives to so many. I believe a Black man's true worth can only be fully appreciated and fully expressed among his own people, and I'm glad you are showing the way with your move to Ghana.
      I agree that we don't do well supporting each other in Ghana, as we do foreigners, and that's a terrible shame! But I understand patriotism as "devotion to and vigorous support for one's country" and that being the definition, the idea that Nigerians are more patriotic than Ghanaians is incorrect. You only have to listen to the average Nigerian talk about Nigeria for two minutes and just about everything you would hear about their country will be negative. Ghanaians, by comparison, are proud of Ghana, even if we criticize and make all the noise about the many deficiencies in our system. Maybe Nigerians support their fellow countrymen more than we do our own. If that's the case, good for them. But that is not the classic definition of patriotism.
      Again, thanks for your example and inspiration. I believe the best is yet to come. Kill it!!!

    She confused patriotism with supporting each other. Yes Nigerians support each other in business better than Ghanaians. Just look at how the Nigerian youtubers collaborate. But no other African nation is more patriotic and proud of who they are than Ghanaians. We are just not very loud about it. And in Ghana we see ourselves as Ghanaians first before tribes. Which is almost nonexistent in Nigeria where you are igbo, yoruba or hausa first. Kwame Nkrumah helped the nation a lot with the boarding school system which integrated us very well and made us able to speak each other's language and become familiar with each other. She's a very bright young lady but uninformed about Ghana in that regard. We learn everyday.

    The hypocrisy in Ghanaians can't be measured especially our leaders.
    You can't trust anyone in ghana because the system is corrupt. Don't invest all in ghana. It should be 10% in ghana and the rest in UK.
