Thank you so much, sisters, for talking about this. All we hear is the one-sided narrative of Ghanaians being this and that against AAs and hardly any mention of the disrespect and mistreatment of AAs to Ghanaians. Wrong is wrong regardless of who does it and we should be willing to call out anyone, Ghanaian or American, who misbehaves.
Mama God bless you and our sister addressing this issues because my experience with one African American woman in Accra was so bad but for me i dont link it to all African American
Hopefully, there's enough of us sensible people. That contain our brothers and sisters coming from the West. And explain to them how to behave. And I really appreciate this show. And the topic you're bringing up. Because it's getting the word out and I'm sure the people in Ghana appreciated too. Please keep up the good work. Hope to see you once I get over there.
This is what I have been afraid of for a long time. This is what exactly our fore fathers did in Liberia and look at what happened. The Americo Liberians thought they were better than the indegines they met there.We all know what happened and is happening now. Thank God unlike the Liberians in that era,Ghanaians are educated and well traveled. That kind of nonsense will not wash in Ghana. The idea that when they come here they want to stay in their own community is very bad.How will they assimilate? After all they lived together in the US and see what happens. Thanks.
Not naming thr names of specific people causing these grievances and naming only their ethnic backgrounds can cause harm to that group of people unjustly. This is what instigated tensiond in Liberia and many AFRICANS on all sides died. As journalists we have a responsibility
This video brings tears to my eyes. Oh, how we love that our brothers and sisters who have been away from the land to return because this land belongs to you too. Let’s dwell together in peace as a family. And, one important step towards this goal to have the hard conversations like this one. RESPECT is a quintessential core value in the Ghanaian culture and when it is abused, it creates almost irreparable damage and consequences in the society. Please, do whatever it may take to cultivate and practice mutual respect among your brothers and sisters in Ghana. Make Ghana a proud home and a better place for all. It is not perfect and nowhere is. As for the land issue, it affects everyone in the country. It is huge problem not only for brothers and sisters returning home but those already living in Ghana. I hope you all can bring some creativity and innovative solutions to the problem. This is your homeland. Help build it for ourselves and our children!
Thank you for this balanced video. Other diasporans are making videos that suggest Ghanaian's are going out of their way to be nasty towards us. This speaks to the attitudes we are coming to their land with. Indeed, how dare we bring all of our nasty American attitudes over to the motherland.
That is why I advocate for a three months cultural assimilation for all diaspora wanting to settle in Ghana. We cannot afford the peace and freedom that Ghana enjoys to be compromised by those we welcoming home!
Well said! It's important that the diaspora takes some time to learn the nuances in living in Ghana before stepping foot in the country. Ghana is not the US and that should be understood before coming here.
Land is vested in the chiefs who are custodians of the land, so if you want to buy a land do your visibility studies on land commission to find who owns the land. There are obviously bad nuts and people with bad intentions who are to no good. Most African Americans are prideful and arrogant and domineering. Ghana has cool people and love everyone. The people who are coming to Ghana should be humble and not take advantage of people
Hi my sisters your so right. They thing they are better than us and they need to stop that. I am a Liberian we will not take that at all .Not in Liberia 🇱🇷 No no on okay 👌.
Young lady thank you for your wisdom, and your wonderful comment. If really any person is coming to Africa or Ghana without the mind of adding value to the land, why are they coming?
I’m a Ghanaian living in America, getting ready to move back home, one thing I have noticed about the American living in Ghana, some are so funny, because they think the little dollars they bring makes them better than Ghanaians, but we all know they are broke in America, they save a little money and come back to Ghana to show off, they are not rich or better than Africans citizens. Stop your nonsense
What you just said is exactly how most Ghanaians who live abroad in the United States, Canada, or Europe behave. Most of the Ghanaians that are living abroad in these European countries and America are struggling with their 2-3 jobs. But when they are ready to visit Ghana, they will save up as much money as they can; and come to Ghana to flaunt and show off the little riches they have in their pockets in front of us local Ghanians. Giving us, and the Ghanaian youths, the impression that they are living large and are big boss in America or Europe. This also gives the false narrative and impression to our Ghanaian youths that the only way to make money, the only way to be successful in life is to travel to America or Europe, and most of the time the youth take the back dangerous and deadly way. But not knowing that this Ghanaian men or women who have only 2 weeks vacation in Ghana from his/her job, is struggling financially to make ends meet in America or Europe . But they will not tell you or let you know that they are struggling abroad because they have to keep up that fake facade, that fake persona of being rich in the white man’s country for as long as possible.
You know it’s very sad that we even have to have these conversations with people not knowing how to act when they visit or come to someone else’s home. Thank you ladies so much and Kimberly knows we already have dialect. I will be there November 28 I board my flight to God be all the glory, I know a lot has changed since I was last there. I am ready for all of it. ❤
Thanks so much for sharing this experience with our brothers and sisters, who are some reason disregarding the local people. Unfortunately, we are the same peoples whether bone in America or Africa. We are still black and such. We need to respect each other.
I love your spirit and your positives . please continue with the good things your are doing, sours like your type can bring change to the Ghana we want.
I’ve seen lots of videos of diaspora selling land the second they land in Ghana which is highly questionable. How did they get ownership quickly? Even if they’re liaison, they need to do background checks.
@@joanasefah6645It does not matter if they are married to Ghanaians. They just don't know the LAND LAWS of the country and they don't know which of these lands are questionable.
Not just selling land but people who knew nothing about building construction while in America are now posing as expert developers and collecting money from unsuspecting clients. Unbelievable!
One of the biggest mistakes of the Year of Return was making celebrities the face of the initiative. They should have aimed at business people and organizations with an intent on 'building bridges' in Ghana and not just chasing a lifestyle.
i Love the transparency in this video. I think its part of the process of reunification. It won't be all smooth in the beginning, it will take time...but I trust the process. We just need to be realistic to accept the fact that it will be a challenging process, but worth it in the end :) Understanding each others cultures and differences takes time.
For land issues even locals and Ghanaians abroad are been taking advantage of,and for your information government do not own lands , it is rather families, and chiefs who own land but government should step in with laws to control situations
@@reinaelsa4041if you have lived our story with coup and military governments and the killings and oppression we have chosen to be nice but trust me we are not weak.
@@afuantumi2768 Yes dear I know Ghanaians are some of the strongest and most resilient, however, because of how nice Ghanaians can be, some people get it twisted.
I know you will be successful in Africa with the mindset you have. I believe this conversation is a topic that needs to be talked about it is a an developing problem but fortunately only in certain parts of ghana as the diaspora from America tend to move to the same place like cape coast and some coastal areas in Tema these problems are not found in kumasi volta region or northern ghana people, people from the carribean tend to assimilate easily into the local population. People who don’t adopt the Ghanaian way of living and get along with the locals have a shelf life and end up going home after a few years blaming all thier issues on Ghanaians ( i am not saying they cannot be part of the problem) What people need to remember this migration to Ghana is not a new thing the trend started under kwame Nkrumah no one documented it on social media and the infrastructure they met and the problems they faced and the colonial mindset they had to challenge was worse than today, and like today it will be a natural selection survival of the fittest. The fittest being the people who are there for the right reasons,
Good recommendation about having more collaboration between the locals & returning diaspora; it’s always a few bad apples on BOTH (EITHER) side(s) spoiling it for the lot. On the part of the locals the reaction to any attitude/disrespect may come up as being immediately called out, noting any crass behavior & the whole community finally getting to know to avoid person seen as toxic, etc. Thanks highlighting this issue; can’t be swept under the rug. Also can’t let one side dominate the social media space with perceived grievances on the ground, with no self-reflection
Omg Juss this land issue with a particular American who is getting over on her brothers and sisters from the diaspora sounds really familiar😳. This definitely needs to be addressed and more people need to speak up about their experience so others can be informed to prevent this from happening to them.
The Culture clash becomes evident in many ways. Attitudes on both sides don't help. Africans generally idolize African Americans and see them as better off and I'm some ways "superior. This can easily get to some people heads. On the hand you have some who see African Americans as inferior because of history. People need to learn and unite. Just as there were some Africans involved in the tradeof people into Slaves,We have had people released from Slavery come back to Africa and become slave traders themselves and resettled people from Slavery taking over from the native Africans and establishing rule over them. Both sides have gone through negative expériences and suspicion. With the land issue, there is a distorted perception. Ghanaians both at home and abroad have the same issues. In fact there are more Ghanaians who lose a lot of money in Land purchases. We need to educate ourselves and look at mutual ways of healing and helping each other in finding our place under the sun
I am glad someone is finally addressing this subject. Because if they are saying that they are coming home to the motherland. Then when they come and start treating ghanaians like (maids and slaves) because of the value of the dollar. Please stay in America. Is really sad and I also blame some ghanaian because they belittle themselves for foreigners
Totally 💯 agree with you. We have been taught through our school system that European came to Ghana and civilized us Ghanaian; that inferiority complex mindset is so ingrained in Ghanaians that even in 2024 we still have lawyers and judges still wearing the European colonial wigs. These Ghanaian lawyers and judges really believe that they can’t do their judicial duty well if they don’t have on the white man’s wig. They really believe that the brains and minds of the white man are in those wigs that is why they can’t let go of it. We Ghanians have been trained and programmed that whatever comes outside from Ghana is better that what we have in Ghana. Ghanaians bow down to white people, Chinese people, Lebanese people, and every other foreigner that comes to Ghana and to exploit the Ghanaians. I am happy, joyful that there are diasporas that have decided to move Ghana, but Ghanaians should not belittle themselves, should not have the inferiority complex mindset that they are beneath the diaspora, especially Black Americans. We should all do our best to respect and support each other and try to make Ghana and Africa the best place on earth for Black/African people all around the world.
First of all in some part of Europe they teach that white People wonder out from Africa, so white People are not originated from Europe or America, Peace
I am not surprised by the issues being discussed here remember not everyone come with good intentions and that’s a shame, no matter where we come from in the diaspora respect is due when we get to the continent, something must be done before things get worse ,some people just don’t like peace.
Even though the lady said most Ghanaians don’t wear their traditional clothes; but I would love for that to change. I would love to see more Ghanaians wear more made in Ghana clothes; instead of all these fake designer clothes coming in from China and the second hand clothing coming in from the U.S. and other European countries.
Unfortunately these fake clothes and other western clothes in the market are far cheaper than buying African material and taking it to a seamstress to get it made. Its more convenient to buy a clothing and putting it straight on aswell.
I respect all Ghanians. Like Marcus Garvey said "Everyone can't go. Your no good in America and your be no good in Africa." If it wasn't for the Ghanians I wouldn't be where I'm at today. I help most of the Ghanians and they help me. When I came to visit I was well protected by the Ghanians.
This is sad I’ve been going to the continent for twenty years. People have been coming to Ghana especially since the 60s but it’s just people only recently coming to the continent creating drama for RUclips. Why is it the Ghanaians never had an issue until Americans got RUclips channel??? Smh
That's what i say the president needs to let this land issue be more diplomatic, he ask the diasporians to come to ghana i am happy for that,this unfair land settlement is going far in africa and the world let us as black people put up a standard that when we say something we means it,let the world see ghana is a developing country and the hospitality is best,the diasporians have to get a council to speak to the government
You know nothing about Liberia to be making a comparisons. Be a citizen of Ghana. We citizens of all Black people and no one gets the attention in the Black World until we say or do something. Watch Focus on Liberia with Kau Fahnbulleh.
@@frankkyereme7125 You can’t name any indigenous Liberians. You just mocked People being killed and raped in the street just because they were in the ruling Class. Now you low key saying it should be done to us. You sound like an Agent all the way
I have noticed many of the disrespect comes from Ghanaian diasporans specifically the 1st generation Ghanian Americans. But it still a very small percentage doing it.
Well if you have the hard conversations it viewed as disrespectful to the chief or the cultured. No matter how nice you bring it up. Ghana leaders know what to do, as a Ghanian youth told me they know because many of them lived and been educated in the West. They know what kind of systems can be created but they keep it the way it is to continue the corruption.
I've heard both sides from AA about Ghanaians and now I'm hearing you all's side concerning AA. Please remember ladies that the changes on both sides from slavery/ colonialism. Maybe something should be put into place four a smoother transition. One thing I do 👀 is once again the white man got away! We didn't ask to be taken nor enslaved and the truth is our own people sold us to the white man. You ladies sound very American and many Africans live here in America and still look down on us, behave ugly in the U.S. so yes there should be prayers and supplications made to the MOST HIGH GOD YACHAVEH & YESHUA. Seek HIS face and HE'LL give ALL the correct answers because I'm still hearing hate but thanks for sharing YOUR OPINION.❤❤
I agree that African Americans shouldn't go to another country and treat others with disrespect; however, some things need to be addressed. Also, so what if African American women want to dress in extravagant African attire? Who are we to sit and judge, turn our noses up, and say, 'Yeah, they're American'? Sistah, please! Regarding the young lady who was speaking to the workers rudely, I do agree she should've been more respectful. At the same time, they should have brought their ladder. She probably spent money on her furniture, and even if she didn't, that doesn't give somebody the right to come and stand on a client’s furniture to do a job.
Actually if your honest, Ghanains can be slick with diaspora too... That contractor would not have done that in a elite African crib. For real a mutha fer can just Grind his shoes all in my shit and not react. Oh Come come now. Love the content yall
When I get over there, I plan to bring enough pennies to make sure. I bless all my workers well If someone works for me, they're gonna get a meal A soda as well as a tip and a sincere thank you. But let's be fair. The white folks is over there with the same bs. 2 and nobody's talking about it. But we expect that from them. We shouldn't have the same thing going. Among our community. Cause basically we're all one people. Look at us some of us. You can't tell apart except for the accent.
But Africans come to US with attitudes I have been friends with them over 30 years their attitutes were so bad sometimes I would refuse to go out and eat with them I told them these waiters and waitresses are not househelps!
I'm sure a good number of African Americans mean good for Africa but the bad apples will not be allowed to destroy our continent, it's sad to hear that but they will just make their stay so difficult. The government of Ghana should have as well not promised something they don't have. Why should they offer land to Americans whilst many Ghanaian don't have land? I don't think you will find free land anywhere in Africa to be honest.
I don't think there is any chance of this happening. Americans are spoiled, and to most Americans , being without certain things that would be basic for Americans, is unacceptable to most of us. Americans hate discomfort and most couldn't do it for love or money. I admire these women for being able to assimilate into Ghana successfully, I know I probably could not live a day without air conditioning or cable....or Netflix. One must be dedicated to the change in lifestyle. Kudos to those who can.
Also U Sisters need to tell the Ghana people to Stop With the Bribes, Raising Prices, The Schemes…. Then talking about we brothers and sisters. Stop it! Tell the Ghana Government to protect the Black Americans while u two got a lot to say…. And they never mess with us when they come over to America. Black Americans Don’t Owe Ghana Nothing…..Stop It
What your are doing or living in Africa or Ghana if your are going to be constantly complaining about everything like electricity your need to leave Africa Ghana 🇬🇭 now
There’s going to be lots of distractions from entitled diasporas but we need to keep our eyes on the prize. We need to focus on developing Africa for us by us. The good Lord gave black people the land of Africa with countless precious minerals and bountiful arable land. It’s time to do appropriate and applicable technology transfer back to Africa to accelerate development especially by African Americans.
Kimberly you mentioned staying with a Melissa. Pleaae name her entire name ans show her picture. Please name yojr neighbour and show there faces. There background has nothing to do with our entire demographic
A lot of the diasporas are scamming each other in Ghana not the locals always. Beware

Hopefully, there's enough of us sensible people. That contain our brothers and sisters coming from the West. And explain to them how to behave. And I really appreciate this show. And the topic you're bringing up. Because it's getting the word out and I'm sure the people in Ghana appreciated too. Please keep up the good work. Hope to see you once I get over there.

Even though the lady said most Ghanaians don’t wear their traditional clothes; but I would love for that to change. I would love to see more Ghanaians wear more made in Ghana clothes; instead of all these fake designer clothes coming in from China and the second hand clothing coming in from the U.S. and other European countries.
Unfortunately these fake clothes and other western clothes in the market are far cheaper than buying African material and taking it to a seamstress to get it made. Its more convenient to buy a clothing and putting it straight on aswell.
Its the system unfortunately
A very honest discussion
I respect all Ghanians. Like Marcus Garvey said "Everyone can't go. Your no good in America and your be no good in Africa." If it wasn't for the Ghanians I wouldn't be where I'm at today. I help most of the Ghanians and they help me. When I came to visit I was well protected by the Ghanians.
Lol they should come to Nigeria...Nigerians dont joke
🫠🫠🫠🤣
love this ♥
This is sad I’ve been going to the continent for twenty years. People have been coming to Ghana especially since the 60s but it’s just people only recently coming to the continent creating drama for RUclips. Why is it the Ghanaians never had an issue until Americans got RUclips channel??? Smh
That's what i say the president needs to let this land issue be more diplomatic, he ask the diasporians to come to ghana i am happy for that,this unfair land settlement is going far in africa and the world let us as black people put up a standard that when we say something we means it,let the world see ghana is a developing country and the hospitality is best,the diasporians have to get a council to speak to the government
Goodone
When you disrespect citizen of Ghana, one day there will be Push back with bitterness for diasporas.we don't want another Liberia in Ghana 🇬🇭
You know nothing about Liberia to be making a comparison. Watch Focus on Liberia with Kau Fahnbulleh.
You know nothing about Liberia to be making a comparisons. Be a citizen of Ghana. We citizens of all Black people and no one gets the attention in the Black World until we say or do something. Watch Focus on Liberia with Kau Fahnbulleh.
@@couproduc don't deceive yourself, with too know
@@frankkyereme7125 You can’t name any indigenous Liberians. You just mocked People being killed and raped in the street just because they were in the ruling Class. Now you low key saying it should be done to us. You sound like an Agent all the way
@@couproduc man I don't argue with people like you,take your believe for yourself
They have an African American Embassy now in Ghana from what I hear.
🙄
I agree
Hi dear please can you give me the name of the certified loctician that did your retire in Ghana
@@Adobea1234 my retire? Not sure what you mean, but would be happy to help 🤗
I have noticed many of the disrespect comes from Ghanaian diasporans specifically the 1st generation Ghanian Americans. But it still a very small percentage doing it.
Is false
Well if you have the hard conversations it viewed as disrespectful to the chief or the cultured. No matter how nice you bring it up. Ghana leaders know what to do, as a Ghanian youth told me they know because many of them lived and been educated in the West. They know what kind of systems can be created but they keep it the way it is to continue the corruption.
Ghanians are also growing thru these land issues!!
I've heard both sides from AA about Ghanaians and now I'm hearing you all's side concerning AA. Please remember ladies that the changes on both sides from slavery/ colonialism. Maybe something should be put into place four a smoother transition. One thing I do 👀 is once again the white man got away! We didn't ask to be taken nor enslaved and the truth is our own people sold us to the white man. You ladies sound very American and many Africans live here in America and still look down on us, behave ugly in the U.S. so yes there should be prayers and supplications made to the MOST HIGH GOD YACHAVEH & YESHUA. Seek HIS face and HE'LL give ALL the correct answers because I'm still hearing hate but thanks for sharing YOUR OPINION.❤❤
I agree that African Americans shouldn't go to another country and treat others with disrespect; however, some things need to be addressed. Also, so what if African American women want to dress in extravagant African attire? Who are we to sit and judge, turn our noses up, and say, 'Yeah, they're American'? Sistah, please!
Regarding the young lady who was speaking to the workers rudely, I do agree she should've been more respectful. At the same time, they should have brought their ladder. She probably spent money on her furniture, and even if she didn't, that doesn't give somebody the right to come and stand on a client’s furniture to do a job.
I ve been following her
Ty❤
Example charging 150 dollar for consultation just because you want to tell people about how to purchase land 😂
If you guys dont stop this behavior you guys will have to go
Back wtf is that
You guys shouldn’t try to see the bad side of Ghanaians
Actually if your honest, Ghanains can be slick with diaspora too... That contractor would not have done that in a elite African crib. For real a mutha fer can just Grind his shoes all in my shit and not react. Oh Come come now. Love the content yall
False. They do the same thing
Sorry you do not get that in America, same everywhere!! Ghanians suffer more.
If want to buy land , make sure you go through the proper channels
Hi I watched one of your videos that you went to retire your sisterlock in Accra can I please get the contact thanks
@@Adobea1234 O retighten! Ok got ya!😉 the name of the location is sister locks of Ghana
This Kimberly woman is singing a different tune now. She's become one of the disrespecting diasporans. Contradiction at its finest...
Yall say that to all the Europeans and Asians??
When I get over there, I plan to bring enough pennies to make sure. I bless all my workers well If someone works for me, they're gonna get a meal A soda as well as a tip and a sincere thank you. But let's be fair. The white folks is over there with the same bs. 2 and nobody's talking about it. But we expect that from them. We shouldn't have the same thing going. Among our community. Cause basically we're all one people. Look at us some of us. You can't tell apart except for the accent.
Am a local african abs I can assure you Africans talk about it between them
But Africans come to US with attitudes I have been friends with them over 30 years their attitutes were so bad sometimes I would refuse to go out and eat with them I told them these waiters and waitresses are not househelps!
Even here in Europe People are so hypocritical, Peace
Goddamn, I agree.
But you not from the heights, like seriously???
I'm sure a good number of African Americans mean good for Africa but the bad apples will not be allowed to destroy our continent, it's sad to hear that but they will just make their stay so difficult. The government of Ghana should have as well not promised something they don't have. Why should they offer land to Americans whilst many Ghanaian don't have land? I don't think you will find free land anywhere in Africa to be honest.
I don't think there is any chance of this happening. Americans are spoiled, and to most Americans , being without certain things that would be basic for Americans, is unacceptable to most of us. Americans hate discomfort and most couldn't do it for love or money. I admire these women for being able to assimilate into Ghana successfully, I know I probably could not live a day without air conditioning or cable....or Netflix. One must be dedicated to the change in lifestyle. Kudos to those who can.
Also U Sisters need to tell the Ghana people to Stop With the Bribes, Raising Prices, The Schemes…. Then talking about we brothers and sisters. Stop it!
Tell the Ghana Government to protect the Black Americans while u two got a lot to say….
And they never mess with us when they come over to America.
Black Americans Don’t Owe Ghana Nothing…..Stop It
Im not really understanding your comment, can you rephrase please?
Exactly. He needs to go back to school to learn how to express himself properly.
@onthemove
Ghanaians bribe and raise prices on local Ghanians; so what you said don’t make sense.
Why don't you go over and tell them that, you talking smack on the internet, asking somebody to do what you are afraid to do. 😂
Very true nothing at all, Peace
What your are doing or living in Africa or Ghana if your are going to be constantly complaining about everything like electricity your need to leave Africa Ghana 🇬🇭 now
You are one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.
There’s going to be lots of distractions from entitled diasporas but we need to keep our eyes on the prize. We need to focus on developing Africa for us by us.
The good Lord gave black people the land of Africa with countless precious minerals and bountiful arable land. It’s time to do appropriate and applicable technology transfer back to Africa to accelerate development especially by African Americans.
you deleted my prior comments, yet!!! you talk... Your'e as unreal as the people you talk about!!!
Kimberly you mentioned staying with a Melissa. Pleaae name her entire name ans show her picture. Please name yojr neighbour and show there faces. There background has nothing to do with our entire demographic
YOU GOT NEW SUB TODAY, FROM UK
