I told a woman that I wanted to move to Ghana and she replied " I 'm scared of the animals" and I said, "but your not scare of racism!!! I told her that I will take my chances with the elephants :))
+marty mart truth! And it's not like lions are just running rampant though towns. Bugs can be a lot though. I'm terrified of spiders (of which Namibia has everywhere), but you buy a can of bug spray and you deal with it.
Lol
+marty mart Because animals and people cohabitate with each other. LOL. This is why it's important for people in America to travel. It's a great opportunity to rid oneself of ignorance.
There no wild Animals like lions even in Ghana lol. it's a nice place and very welcoming and peaceful
marty mart HA HA
you are on point. I really want to travel and live in a place where a black man is respected.
Delanor Baychester move here buddy because they are minority over here
Who is really disliking this sister's videos?
+Nick Edwards Hebrew-Isrealites and White people
Thanks for your video. It was very informative for people outside Africa. If it is okay with you, I wish to make a few comments. I am Namibian by birth, white and of German (but not of colonial) descent. So, the use of the English language might not always be correct, and I know, that people do sometimes misunderstand me. I do not want to offend anyone.
My friend runs an agency/office where she applies on behalf of non Namibians for Work Permits, Work Visas, Permanent Residence Permits, Domicile Certificates and Citizenship Certificates. As I have assisted her many times, I know what is going on and how things work.
Namibia has a shortage of qualified teachers, doctors, nurses, pharmacists and pharmacy assistants, physiotherapists and other professionals in the medical field, various engineering professions and even specialised construction workers.
It has happened that the owner of a pharmacy applied for a work permit for a person that he wanted to employ, because he could not find a suitable Namibian. The application was declined, reason given: employ a Namibian. One of our best schools in the North wanted to employ a teacher from Zimbabwe. The application was declined, reason: employ a Namibian. This happens ever so often even with all the other professions. It is getting more difficult by the day to get permits or visas. In the Ministry of Home Affairs is a board of people that have a meeting and decide who will get the visa or permit, and who not. If you are lucky to have a job offer, your prospective employer needs to show that he has advertised the job and the advert and the job applications of Namibians need to accompany your application for a visa or permit. Also, you need to attach all your qualifications and proof of your experience in your profession. Work Permits are only valid for 2 years and have to be renewed. Even if an application for a renewal is submitted 2 or 3 months before the permit expires, you cannot be sure to receive a renewal and for it to be on time so that you are not illegal in the country.
You can also apply for a study permit to do research or to help with various projects. You could get a study permit to study one of the local languages at the University of Science and Technology. But then you will have to show that you are accepted. The new academic year starts in January and you can only apply for a study permit between December and March of each year. The study permits are issued after March. Yes, there are various options as was mentioned in the video. The only problem is, that the people that serve on the board, are very often not really aware of the shortage in qualified professionals. On top of all, the staff at the counters that are supposed to help applicants often do not work very professional. Not all of them though. I have had some very good experienced with some of the employees. But others have taken it to their head that they are in charge, and you have to do as they say.
I hope that I have not stood on somebody’s toes and I hope that I have not offended anyone. I think, that the more information one can get the better.
Thank you. very helpful
good networking but I don't see myself going home looking for job ..I think Africa American should create businesses in Africa not job seeking so that they can employe African .technology and industry, all equipments you have here in USA just buy and send and I know African can give you contract..
+mwila nicky very true . there is a lot of business opportunities in africa . from farming to mining . if are african american you willl be so welcomed .
+mwila nicky africans already have those technologies u're talking about.. its just that not all are privilege to have access to it.. if u live in the cities, life would be just fine coz they got phones, shopping malls, computers, big houses etc.. it just depends on where u live n how much money u got
+mwila nicky true .. but at the same time if you don't have the capital to create a business you can create jobs by increasing the efficiency of that existing business ... especially if that job has a product or service that your skills increase the demand for.
We have always to remember that we use dollar and if we do exchange rate its ×3 to south African land or Botswana pula even Namibia dollar .. We don't have all the equipments in Africa but here are just in the depots ..Chinese people go to Africa to do business not job search atleast woman its okay.. Not us ..
I agree. I'm not trying to hate on whites or anything, but honestly there are so many western based businesses taking money out of the continent of africa. If you look up the 10 richest people in africa only 2 of them are black and their total net worth is about 75 billion. Like wtf is that? All that money stays in bank accounts and/or leaves africa. I personally think it should be the other way around, and that businesses should be based in africa to keep more of that money in the local economy. I mean just look at the university of south africa, a lot of people can't even afford to attend, meanwhile the university provides research grants to academics in the west to travel to south africa or elsewhere for research ect.... I think more african based businesses should be created and boosted to provide needed jobs to the poor and to boot out north american and european based companies, and that the continent of africa has the potential to become more wealthy and powerful than the west considering all the resources there and willing workers.
YOU ARE A TRUE GEM!!!!!! This was enormously helpful
I am in The GAMBIA West Africa, from the US today.
+LeahsWALKABOUT That's awesome! I hear great things about The Gambia. Hopefully I make it up there sometime.
i use to live in The Gambia. can you post videos and what is happening ?
+LeahsWALKABOUT Hi, Im interested in the Gambia
SSMART
Thats rubbish talk, blacks are the backbone of the US
+debayous Let me know what you're interested in knowing about The Gambia. I'm a Gambian going to college here in the U.S and will be more than happy to answer your questions. Hopefully, after that I'll get to meet you someday in the 'SMILING COAST' lol
Your advice is absolutely correct. I would like to say that the most important point you made is that when people are in the USA or elsewhere they really need to make the effort to get to know Africans who live in the Western World. The most important people to meet are those who grew up in the Western World but go to Africa regularly. That is a realistic connection point. This is especially true for those trying to be entrepreneurs because often times the visa process is simplified if you are setting up a business with someone who is connected with the country in question. Often times people overlook the fact that if you are of African descent and live outside you probably need to have some social connections with those more closely connected to Africa. Keep up the good work.
This is amazing. I never knew Americans were keen on living in Africa. I love that... Thank you. You speak so well of our country, I trust you are enjoying your stay so far.
Thank you!
Really love this vid. Much respect to you and your family.
This is great! Thanks for making this video!
Thank you so much for that very informative video. I learned a lot and took notes. I truly look forward to your videos. Again, thank you.
+Flower Child You're welcome, happy to share some info.
Very useful information!! I tracked my county, Tanzania and you as absolutely right about teaching jobs. There are so many!!
+Prisca's Life Exciting stuff! :-)
I am Namibian, grew up in Rundu and left the country 6 years ago, and will be going back soon, so, your videos have been resourceful to me too. :)
thanks for sharing your story. It empowers me to move forward with my dream. Blessings.
I'm so glad I found your channel! I've lived and worked in Australia and New Zealand and have always wondered how I can move to live and work in Africa. This is great!
and I agree... being on the ground is the best way to figure things out. I had never even traveled to New Zealand or Australia and it was a struggle but being so far from the rest of the world and figuring things out alone has definitely prepared me for wherever else I move :)
I hope everything is well with you and your family. We need more videos from you.
U R Amazing ....God bless you . You will be successful in life because you have a vision and amazing personality. U inspire me a lot.
+ZfrZebra Wow, thanks so much!
Great video !! Your advice were very interesting. I am going to share this video. God bless !!
+sabadaga1 Appreciate it and thank you!
Thank you so much for this. Super helpful
thanks for all this nice videos about your place,life in africa,Namibia.. i like to watch about life in african villages.. i hope you will make more videos and to speak with local peoples about life in african province and villages... about traditional food.. all that... simple things
thanks again for nice videos
Thanks for the ideas! Will keep them in mind!
Thank You, very very much good sista, you are a life saver.
Great, great resource! Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much for watching!
I would say black people especially from America. Pool your resources and try to build business and not go job hunting there is a critical job shortage. Whites comes in as companies establish business such as mining. They meaning Africans are looking to us to bring them a job.
+Dubailand 1555 I agree. Building our own business, creating employment and empowering our own is key. Sometimes creating business can be a bit overwhelming personally and visa wise, so I suggested a few ways to ease in.
AfroAmericaninAfrica Bless you sister. I know you mean well for our people trying to find a way back to the continent. I am here like yourself. I started out with a fishing project and now I have a mining business. I would want to see our people coming in as creating businesses and jobs like the Chinese. We have a $1.1 trillion dollars in black people pockets in America. I say lets tap into that and we can REALLY help our people on the continent! Again thank you sister.
+Dubailand 1555 Definitely and thank you for the great comments! That is truly fantastic that you have your OWN business and in mining at that. Which nation are you in?
+AfroAmericaninAfrica Sorry for the delay. I work in Guinea Conakry, in the gold mining business and I live in Morocco and Dubai.We are now working on a commercial fishing business in Sierra Leone. Also an Argan oil business in Agadir Morocco.
+Dubailand 1555 That is phenomenal. I'm sure you have tons of advice that could be useful to my followers. Shoot me an email at afroamericaninafrica@gmail.com if you don't mind! Thank you.
Interesting stuff. Thanks for posting this
+Sean Rankin Welcome and thanks for watching

+Jesus Marshall Thanks for watching!
AfroAmericaninAfrica Your Welcome,...I will continue to watch because i've always been interested in the travel toward Africa and also Israel. Your videos seem more genuine.
Very helpful. Much thanks.
+Myshan Amakisi Thank you!
I have dreamt of Africa as a kid and in my adult hood, I was always happy. I've never been to Africa but in those dreams it felt like home and even now it's like her voice is calling me home. I just don't know what all i need to do to get there.
Yes please come, there is great partys in Senegambia for the Holidays.
+LeahsWALKABOUT Nice, that sounds like a lot of fun!
hello...im a nurse looking to work aboard...do you know anything about Nigeria

Very Beautiful aainafrica !!!!! I'm very passionate about your videos. I live in Europe (PARIS, FRANCE) but I'm not African american lol. I'm originally from CAMEROON, Africa.
Sister I just subbed to your channel. I currently live in Germany and have been considering making plans to make such a move as I am interested in dual citizenship. Your videos are an inspiration and a breath of fresh air.
+Dwight Hayes Thanks so much, appreciate the support! Are you a German national? As you probably know there is a history between the two countries and so there are Germans who live/invest here.

Please read my comment to Jakob Lanzer and my comment that I wrote earlier this evening.
Namibia does not allow dual citizenship.
Wow! I just discovered your channel. . . loving your videos! Thanks for sharing and congrats on your beautiful wedding/marriage! Abundant blessings on you, your husband and your lives together! Also, are you learning Oshindonga?
Great info! Thanks!
+Rayshon Eaves You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Great share thank you
I have wanted to live abroad on the African continent, but the wife hasn't been fond of the idea. She doesn't even like talking about it, which I feel is causing a slight disconnect. Still working hard to convince her with videos such as these and facts on why the move is important.
Might want to start with a touristic visit that might warm her to the idea of relocating.
Brandon Clayton I want move an my hubby is more worried. One my bro
Good advice. Teaching is what a lot of ppl are doing these days. They will teach for a year or two and then focus on what they really want to do, like setting up a business, working in another field etc. Having lived in the country for a while, it's easier to change your Visa.
+FebruaryFalls Channel Yes, definitely!
Hi I am very much impressed by your way of living in Africa,how you adapted to the Namibia life I am wondering you could be one of the volunteer I trained in Oshiwambo language and culture I hope so All the best
I cant wait to see africa and actually move there for a while. The american ignorance had me believing this whole time that africa is this terrible disease ridden place where only the brave doctors and first responders go. Its my fault ultimately because i am a straight A student but to the average man here i cant say that we would all know this. Ive always been curious but im finally researching it and realizing I WANNA GO TO AFRICA
I agree with you and other comments below. A good option for people coming from the US is to set up a business in Africa; you generate income for yourself and employ locals.
GOD BLESS YOU!!!
What you said is very important for any Afro-American looking to move to an African country. It is imperative that you have thick skin and learn to navigate with all the challenges that will come. CHALLENGES WILL COME. LOL. I was born in Tanzania and my family moved to the U.S. when I was 9. Even I don't want to deal with the hassle and transition process of looking for employment in Tanzania and having to "start all over." And trust me, I tried and I obviously wasn't strong enough for the challenge. Many Tanzanians already think I'm a "muzungu" which in Swahili translates to "White person" or "foreigner." Also, it is extremely hard to find employment when you don't know people of influence or people with connections. In MOST cases, it is all about WHO YOU KNOW, not what you know. So again, if you are interested in moving to Africa, you have to be prepared for the challenges that will definitely arise when you get there. It takes a special kind of person, persistent and determined, to move with the punches. Africa is all about mastering the skill of moving with the punches. And really at the end of the day, it becomes a test of whether you truly want to live in Africa or not. Those who truly want to live in Africa will make it work. Those who don't will leave at the first sign of "trouble."
Keep on posting videos
Great videos sis, as an African American Male, I have a desire too moving back too the motherland, what are the main steps to citizenship?
What is the weather like? Also I am so glad to see you back posting videos. I was worried about you.:)
+frankshun1 Thank you! Warm balmy days and cold nights (30s F) during the 'winter' season and very hot (90s-100) days during the summer season. There is also a rainy season and a dry season.
is it easy to find a truck driving jobs there.
Hi I am an Indian working in the gulf in Kuwait..I wanted to know how could I apply for a job in Namibia??i have done a kind of study on Namibia and it's a beautiful country to be a part of I am positive on moving into to Namibia but I don't know how to go about it-Amit
Imagine... You're an African, a historical victim of kidnapping....... And now able to return "Home" are now forced to worry about deportation....The irony.
Ironic indeed!
....Yes Ms.Mitton....But the real question is.... As a Diaspora African why I'm I forced to game the system and _sneak_ into Africa? ....We did absolutely nothing wrong in being STOLEN.....A comprehensive program implemented for us to repatriate, is long overdue.
I have to say miss, I really enjoy your videos, I find them helpful too! I am a white German-American and I speak German as do some Namibians. My hope is to move there and live out my life there! Videos from people who have your perspective are very helpful. Thank you!
I am a German speaking Namibian. Please read my comment that I made earlier on this evening.
It will not be very easy for you live here after you have retired. Even if you buy property, it will not be considered. They often do not give residence permits to people that want to start a business here and invest big sums of money. Even that they do often not take into consideration. They say, that foreign pensioners tend to take up space in old age homes and Namibians do not get a space. Also they are often of the opinion, that foreigners take up too much space in our cemeteries. Please do not be offended, but if you can afford it, take a 3 months holiday and visit our beautiful country. Then you might get a better picture.
Thank you very much dear for you to share this video with us .. where are you based here in north
thanks for the info...
How will the Visa be concerned if one is self employed?
Liven in West Africa from America ? Its more easy to become friends with our brothers and sista's from England.
(The UK) they go there more, because its only a 5 hour plane ride from London. Some are buying homes there now. So in The Gambia they can best teach u how to live there as a traveler. I will put more video's up soon on my channels LeahTVdotcom and LeahsWALK ABOUT.
People who watch these videos are interested in moving to Africa not Europe. Maybe you think it's best to live in the UK but dint discourage someone from moving to the motherland
'Black Britain' lives in West Africa already.
You will met them there if u r friendly enough. We call our self's the African Diaspora. In fact u should stop calling yourself African American once u live many places and travel. call yourself the Diaspora.
Great videos! I agree networking before you get to the continent to find out what is out there. I also agree that it is always easier when you are there in the physical. I've been contacting this one international school, but they never respond to emails. However when I was in the country I was able to network with different ministry leaders and headmasters. I've been to Guinea twice and Rwanda to teach twice. I'm finishing up my Masters program in education May 2016, I want to move to Africa to teach. I absolutely love Guinea, but the cleanliness and the health care sucks. Rwanda is very clean health care is slightly better because of all the NGOs and such. Would you create a video on health care and such? Your thoughts... What do you do in case of an emergency? Thanks
+Aminah B. Thanks so much for the fantastic reflections on your experiences! I will do a video... Health care is a great topic.. I'm possibly having wisdom teeth extracted here next week (yikes) and I've been hospitalized here before. I will share my thoughts in a video!
I have two masters degrees and 16 years as a teacher. What's the salary like?
Informations about hotels jobs in Rwanda and namibia ? Thank you
god bless you queen
Thanks so much!
Are you able to access the internet from your home? Or internet cafes?
How difficult was the adjustment to losing many luxuries? What was your life in the US like comparatively? Are you close to your family, do they visit?
Thanks in advance for answering all my questions!
I'm fascinated by your life & new experiences!
+star dust Thanks for the questions! Yes, I have wifi in my apartment - an unlimited monthly plan. It's fast enough and I upload my RUclips videos with it. My life in the States was pretty normal. The biggest differences that i can think of off the top of my head are shopping hours (longer in the US), family and friends being far away, public transportation (more extensive and regulated in the US), internet shopping is almost non-existent here in Namibia. It's hard (and expensive) to get people to come all the way down to Namibia - so I've only had a few (for my wedding).
How affordable is Private healthcare in Namibia and the quality of care aswell. I must say as a Brit im impressed with Namibia, in terms of wealth etc. Its suprising how ignorant westerners are of the continent in general. It annoys me how people stereotype people from Africa as being the same.
Please do not think of Namibia as a wealthy country. Most Namibians are very poor and many live below the breadline. Private medical care can be very expensive if you do not have a “medical aid”. If you are employed, you will have the opportunity a join one and the company pays part of your contribution. Then you will still have to pay a fee to your medical practitioner. Our private medical practitioners are very good, in fact we have some of the best.
The majority of the population has to visit government clinics and there the health care is not very good. Even the treatment at government hospitals is not optimal. But if you do not have the funds to visit a private hospital, you have to go there. We have too few health practitioners in all fields in this country. After independence government brought Cuban health practitioners into the country. Their services are very poor and there is a communication problem. They do not speak English and the rural population does also not speak English.
Our country needs more schools and more teachers that are qualified. Give the people educations and they can rise out of poverty. Most of the teachers cannot speak proper English. Grammar and pronunciation included.
Barbara Blättler Oh dear!
It has problems, but they dont seem to be as bad as the rest of the continent though.
I am a retired educator, do you think they could use me. I worked in the Head Start program during the 60s and 70's and retired in the 90's. I was born to teach, and it is my passion.
you are great...
Hello Everyone,
I am African American and have never been to Africa before. I want to move to Africa after college in America and wanted to know my chances there as a computer engineering major, which country in Africa is best for me to get a great job with my major and most of all, how welcoming of us African Americans are the African people?
Very informative although moving out of the USA isn't something that I am interested in doing at this point, however I do feel that the information you've shared is transferable in seeking employment in different states within the USA.
+Kim Davidson Thank you and I'm happy to hear it was transferable!
if i knew 5 languages, what kind of jobs , i can do
Very informative! Thanks for sharing. Do you have any recommendations for immigration agencies that you may have worked with in the past, or have heard are legit? In Windhoek, specifically.
+Linds ODell Hi! Pls. send me an email and I will share one I know of that's in Windhoek. afroamericaninafrica@gmail.com
Hey, this is Candice (a friend of the vlogger)..let me add my two cents in. I'd double stress that word PATIENCE. I went to Namibia in August and September to visit and apply for some ESL teaching jobs, and I literally just got a letter from the Ministry of Education acknowledging that they've received my information. Mind you..this letter was a letter acknowledging receipt, not a job offer.
+Queenceba29 Very true!
Thanks for the video, by the way your are BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks for watching!
Im interested in Ghana, Cameroon, South Africa, Botswana, also Kenya and Tanzania even though Im a little apprehensive of anything East as it's a little close to what I perceive to be unstable areas. Im in the IT industry.
IT goes a long way on the continent. there are opportunities to come up with your own products or even educate others in IT
I am personally not the job type.
I am more interested in creating a business in the beauty industry.
I would like to know how well that industry thrive in African countries.
I what like to know what the tax situation is as far as the united states. exit fees...are you paying us tax on your nami-bucks...
peace sista thank you for doing this video do you recommend one coming from the states to have a bachelor degree to teach there?
+rulondaful Hi! Yes and no. It depends on what you want to do. If you want to be self employed I think just as in the States, you can get by without one. Degrees are required for more corporate positions, so to say.
y dont u live in the inner city ? its much more modern...it looks like u living in the rural areas which is hard
Thank you. Question: how is the education for children ranked? My daughter would be in elementary school - does it compete with the US/UK? Also, are grades acquired in Africa accepted and transferrable to the US/UK. If we stayed and she graduated from college in Africa, would her degree be accepted around the world in competition with everyone elses?
Sky's the Limit! Forever Young yes, schools in Africa are very competitive with the rest the western world .
is it possible to build a community in these areas like housing communities
wow, that is a good question...
Why do people say don't come to Africa looking for a job?
+Dwight Hays sorry I'm getting an error message when I'm trying to comment under yours.
You can't be a dual citizen if you are a German national. My Aunty in Ghana's best friend and neighbour is German lady by blood. Her husband is Ghanaian they moved back to Ghana as for retirement. So it is possible to live in Africa as a German national.
Africa is a continent like Europe and differenc countries have different laws. Namiba does not allow dual citizenship.
This is probably the oddest question you'll get, but generally speaking is it possible to move to an African country, from the US, with a pet? I don't have many possessions at all, but it would be ideal to bring my cat with me
+Lowell Denny Hi there! You'd have to check what an individual country's regulations are because it varies. I don't know anything about it yet, although I've always dreamed of bringing my cat from NYC to Namibia :-), but I'm sure Google can help. Contact the country's embassy and inquire about the rules for importing an animal.
+Lowell Denny I'm trying to think if I know of anyone whose done this, but I want to say it's possible.
Thank you! I've only hear it's possible, btu I will further research it
Hello sista, How the internet in that region?
+Malak Dawayad The internet in the capital and most large towns is pretty good, although not as high speed as in the U.S. For whatever reason the internet works faster on my iphone than my Macbook. This video took around 11 hours to upload :/ Smaller towns and villages is where the speeds are slow and sometimes non-existent. I usually turn off the internet data function on my cell when I'm on highways and in rural areas because the battery ends up draining quickly from my phone trying to find a signal.
how much money should one have saved in order to make it in Africa? $5,000,$10,000.00, 100,000
Hi! It varies country to country but as much as possible and something that you could live off of. You'd have to check the cost of living in a specific country and compare it to the US dollar exchange rate to get a better idea. I came to Namibia with a little over 1000usd *but* I was also provided with free housing. Pls check my two 'Cost of Living in Namibia' videos if you haven't already as they may provide more insight.
You say u want to know more about Gambia ? Most of my pictures and stories r on my Facebook page. Leah Tunkara. I do not know your name dear, so please tell me u make these great video's.
Are there any opportunities available for white Americans? I am in Taiwan teaching English now but would love to checkout Africa. Thanks so much and great channel:D
jmcarp98 Yes. Presently, there's a shortage of teachers in Namibia.
Really....how is the pay vs costs of living though? How easy or difficult is it to get a visa beyond the usual 30-90days in Namidia? Thanks:)
my concern is age- I know that you are not in Ghana, but I read that after the age of 55 you not eligible for employment- have you heard or read anything about working criteria?
No please, I am from Ghana
+marty mart Yes, I'm not sure about Ghana.. but self-employment is always an option. I would assume there were people there over that age working of course. If I find out I will let you know!
Retirement age in Ghana is 60 but if your in employment you can stay on pass 60.
I'm studying to become a sign language interpreter. Are there jobs for my field in Africa?
Nope not Really i am iAfricn. If You have a major Like this and You want to relocate in Africa Just stay in the US and Try to have more money and invest in something that Will work in Africa.
+Emily Henderson I am In Namibia. Yes there are.in special schools, in churches, broadcasting, and at events management and conferencing companies.
+Emily Henderson Yes!! :) ..
+Emily Henderson Also try Kenya.
+Yvan Dakota I would say start researching on Google, country by country. I'm sure it varies, depending on the nation, but I would find it hard to believe that your skills couldn't be put to use somewhere on the continent!
Thanx u re such gud girl
Do have to speak the language?
Not quite, English is the official language here but when I go to the village/smaller towns, that's where I run into people/my in-laws who speak very little English so I have to try and speak to them in their language. In the capital city here in Namibia i definitely do not have to speak anything other than English. So, it depends on the country's official language and then on where you are at the time.
+Marty Mart... A couple ready to go on visiting five West African countries,bought their tickets with reasonable belongings... 48hours to departure.... the sister drop the bomb shell .. "am not going.... I can't the water in African".
The the brother, stayed five months as opposed to 6 weeks.
Fear of real African is worst than Racism ...so her friends quipped.
