If you clowns just came to the USA to criticize our country, then why don't you return to your God-forsaken homes in Ghana? (3:13). Are you three con artists who swindle people's money? I used to get a lot of e-mails from con artists from Ghana claiming to be investors, widows of kings looking for Americans to deposit their $millions in my bank account--yeah right. In the USA, homeless people are homeless because they want to be there. There is a lot government assistance for housing homeless people. If you want to be stupid by criticizing the USA homelessness, go ahead and continue making fools out of yourselves.
JOSE M PULIDO 2 - These young people are far from being “clowns”. You sound dumb to be honest. I watched all 21:40 of this video. Did you? At absolutely no point in the video did I hear them “criticize” america. Let me explain something to you. These are educated, beautiful people that exude joyfulness. If you interpret their laughing and smiling at some points as criticism, then that says more about you than them. All I heard from them was the contrast between what they see on tv and the reality. Then of course they had to adjust to the food. Finally, one thing about your comment
“homeless people are homeless because they want to be there”
If I’m being honest, this moves you from the sounding ignorant column, to the stupid column. I’m sure that most homeless people would disagree with you.
Aladi, I hope you can visit other areas in the US! Great video.
Jose m pulido 2 You sound like you're taking lessons from SOB shithole tRump! Why don't you crawl back under the rock you came from? America has a long way to go b4 we can call ourselves superior to any other country or culture, especially now after shooting ourselves in the foot and allowing such a fatASS idiot like trump into the Oval Office! The way you talk, sounds like you don't respect yourself too much either! Show respect, get respect!
Jose m whatever you call yourselves...have you ever used even a micro second of your whole life to think perfectly?...please mind your own business,Great video Much love from Ghana ❤
@@ernestowusu6999 I'm sorry but ignorant people like him don't use their brains at all, he's exactly what we've been trying to get rid of in this country for decades now, it's working 😂 that's why they rely on finding videos on RUclips to comment their ignorance, their losers
YOU ARE A JERK!!!
Thank you for making this video, we welcome you here in the US!!
Thank you!
My face hurts from smiling and laughing the whole time. Y'all are hilarious without even trying to be 😂. Thank you! I enjoyed both parts so much.
Awww! I’m so glad you enjoyed watching the videos.😊
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a positive comment! 💕
Love you guys! I had a co-worker that came to America from Ghana! She became an American citizen and went back home to visit relatives all the time. She was the friendliest person in the whole place! It didn't take long b4 she became everybody's favorite co-worker! When I retired, she (and her little girl, Joy, were missed by me very much) was the one I missed more! Keep those videos coming!
Thanks for this comment! ❤️❤️
We love you too.
Ah yes, the American on-the-go culture. Its not common to stop and socialize even with a good friend if you are on a schedule or in your "routine" in America. If you want to make friends, schedule or work in events like lunch or drinks with them outside of that typical routine of theirs. I found working my way into a (usually weekly) study group of other students was a great way to create friends when I was in college. Don't be afraid to be forward! If you want someone to help you learn the local culture, literally tell them that! Americans love learning about foreigners and their culture because most of us never really leave the country. At the same time, they may find speaking to someone with a heavy accent intimidating at first and they don't want to be rude by asking you to repeat yourself too much. By being forward you can eliminate that barrier from the start. Cheers, I loved the video you guys are hilarious
Thank you for your comment!
Just discovered your channel and appreciate all of your perspectives. I like how friendly and positive you all are. I hope you enjoy your time in America. Much love.
Awww! Thank you so much for your understanding. ❤️
You’re welcome to my channel!
The whole hair situation is truly going to depend very specifically upon where you live. In America you will find many more salons that do black hair in the south eastern states and urban areas. When you get into the northern Midwest, you are pretty much on your own. Expect that you'll have to travel to a large city, Chicago, Denver, St Louis, Detroit... And if you are thinking of moving to Montana, Idaho, Wyoming... just plan on going natural or shaving your head. LOL! 😊
Lol.. 😂😂😂😂
This is hilarious. 🤭
Or just rely on doing your own hair. Period!
I love how you keep it real and give us raw facts with sugar coating anything love from naija♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thanks! ❤️❤️
Great insights on America.
I stumbled upon your video. Took me a bit to get the rythm of your English, but I think your being very helpful. What's more, I learned a lot about you guys. Rapid City SD, wow! That's about as vanilla white and bland as you can get!
Fortunately, most midwesterners in small cities and towns have NOT come from an environment of racism nor are they raised that way. Most have never met a black person and would be curious to do so, I think.
I'd lead your conversations with what region of Africa you are from, rather than your actual country cuz Americans are not geographically aware of Africa much at all. Teach them as you might an 8 yr old in that regard at first. Your careful English will ensure they aren't insulted. They'll just think you're being helpful. Even in the upper midwest, they are influenced by TV and would be apprehensive about a black American, but NOT a black African. Weird, but true.
Welcome, have fun and remember, hiking is for the scenery and exercise, not just to climb a hill. Fishing is for the competition, not the meal.
:)
Haha! Thank you for your positive comment!
Great discussions. Well done guys. Much love from Ghana 😙.
Aww!
Thank you.
You’re welcome to My channel!! ❤️❤️
Hi dear,

Watching your video assisted me at my interview which I aced. Thanks for making them.
Yayyyyy 😃
This is good news! 💃🏾
Glory be to God.
Congratulations dear!!!! 🎉🎈
Safe trip!!! ❤️
I am glad you enjoy watching my videos. 🙊😊
It is not wrong if you don't like all food here in America, we in America don't like all the food. That is why there is so much variety. There are many foreign food stores that are much less cost than the regular American stores. I am a USA citizen but if I cook Asian or Indian food I go to that store to buy the ingredients so much cheaper, especially the spices! The American stores sell spices at too high a price to cook Asian foods. If you like spicy food go to Indian stores. I can buy spices in bigger bags, and not in the little jars of American store. Also special rice types are lower cost in the foreign stores.
Thank you.
Great video, It has reorient my way of thinking. Cheers!
Thank you!
Great Video,/content. keep it up, saw your link from Wode Live! I will share. Good sense of humour!
Thank you.
This is really nice 👏🙌.
If your tummy keeps reacting, it might be a medical condition. You should take note of what you react to so you know what to avoid, as it could be anything. But really a lot of people - also white - react to some of the fiber strains found in wheat. Specially wheat grown in colder climates, so even if the wheat you eat from back home is good, you can still react to the wheat in Dakota. Pay attention when you eat and see if this is what makes your tummy upset, or if it's something else.
I will definitely pay more attention. I previously found out that I react badly to the black beans too. I stopped consuming it and I am fine. Thanks for your comment.
@@AladiAkoh I am glad you found out about your troubles. Best wishes.
Wonderful video! Love you guys! 🤗🤗
Thank you again for your videos. You and your friends seem so friendly and genuine. I hope someday your get to visit the southern part of our country. Try some southern food....try some BBQ to.
Thank you for the kind words. I have tried some BBQ. :)
I live in South Dakota and I hardly Know anybody I love watching this
We can be friends lol. 😀
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful video! Loved you all.
Thank you! We love you too. ❤️
Great video, very interesting!
Thank you!

Yay!
Thank you so much!
You’re welcome to my channel. ❤️❤️😀
Nice content girl, I'm here after seeing your comments on Dyna post
Yayyy! 💃🏾😁
Welcome to my channel!!
I am happy to have you here and I do hope you like it here as well. 🙂
Great point to come with money!!! And homelessness in big cities is a big problem.. but the reasons are mixed and opinions are also varied. Drug addictions, low level criminals, mental illness.... Forcing them off the streets is impossible because folks are free to be self destructive. I recall visiting San Francisco and San Diego and even I.. an American that's lived in several states and types if communities.. was shocked and angry at them for abusing the system. Rapid City I think is a great mixture of rural and big city.
Which city are you guys in?
Because a lot of the things you talked about varies
Thank you for your perspective. You are all right. 🇺🇸💘you. God bless you all.
Thank you and God bless you too!
Quite interesting and enlightening
Thank you.
These kind , beautiful folks are exactly the kind of immigrants we welcome ;)
You’re so kind! Thank you. 😊
Its good to remember that the US states are divided by east, west, north, south and some states/cities in the south can be a real typical Wild West
You guys related? You’re so much fun lol 😝
About black hair, you have to go to the black areas of town to find black hair salons
Thank you for your contribution!! ❤️ 🙏
have you ever been to Rapid City?
🤣🤣🤣 "vegetables being more than the rice" This video is hilarious. There are homeless people every where... people think the abroad is the perfect place until they see with their eyes
Zee,
I think Americans love vegetables a lot oh.😂
I don’t really blame people for thinking that the abroad is a perfect place, because that’s what the media portrays most of the time.😀
I blame the Media lol.
I think we all do much the same thing, thinking that things elsewhere are the perfect place, until we get there. There's something people say in America, and I guess other English-speaking countries, and maybe there's a similar saying in almost every culture: "Whatever side of the fence they are on, people imagine that the grass is always greener on the other side."
I think that one way to think of it is that, thanks to our human nature, it's hard to notice and remember the blessings we already have, until we leave them behind for someplace we think is better, but by the time we do, we have forgotten why we left it to begin with. Or, in other words, we should try to remember and count the blessings we do have, whenever we think that someplace abroad is the perfect place, and when we finally get abroad and that illusion of perfection is broken, we should also try to remember the blessings we noticed from afar as well as the bad things we didn't see until we got there.
This lady tells a great little story which expresses a similar sentiment:

Madam in africa u can always go back to yr village. unless u r mad n can't fine yr way back
Natural Hair is the best hair
Why do foreigners always think that New York City and Los Angeles represent the USA? They are both unique communities that share almost nothing in common with 99% of the rest of the country. It would be like thinking all of Africa is just like Johannesburg.
It's nice you are experiencing America in Rapid City. Places like NY and LA do not represent the way of life for most Americans. You are lucky to be in SD and see what being an American is really all about.
Thank you! 😊
Lmao As a black American that grew up in Chicago, Texas, North Carolina and Georgia. I strongly disagree this, I mean there over 50 metro areas over 1 million in the US. Most Americans themselves will have a culture shock if they go to a small isolate and un diverse places like Rapid City, But this his is very interesting videos never the less. cause they seeing a small town America many Americans haven't seem themselves.
I would say to most American........... America is some where between Rapid City and NY culturally. but there no such thing as a "real America" ... I hope of day they get to travel America.
Texas, North Carolina and Georgia are not LA or NYC. I see a lot of immigrants going to NYC which does not represent the way most Americans live. If you want to know what life is really like for most Americans you wouldn't pick NYC. Rapid City will do just fine. Just because you hang out in the hood doesn't mean most Americans do.
@@bradbilbo6696 No Rapid City is not representative. That city is too white. Rapid City is 1% black. African-Americans make up 12-13% of the population. You need a city with close to that percentage of African-Americans.
Nice video
Thank you.
Hello, I was denied on the 30th of July, and my resumption is on 26th of August, I want to re-apply before the 15th of this month, my question is that won’t it affect my interview? My first interview they ask question like what have u been doing since ur high school, I didn’t really prepare for this question
Hi,
Sorry to hear about your rejection experience.
I will use myself as an example.
My second interview was on 21st July, I was denied and I scheduled the third one for 8th August, which was successful.
In my opinion, you can apply as soon as you get a slot!
Try to prepare well for the next interview.
Best wishes.
Aladi Akoh thank you
Great
Wode maya much love
❤️
haha yees dude - I cut my own hair as well!
😁
Assistant professor with PHD holders nice
FloJay Creativity
Hahaha.
We haven’t gotten those qualifications yet lol.
Thank you for watching dear. ❤️
Hello dear . How can I speak to u . I went had a failed visa interview and my school is to resume on the 12th of August
Okpoli Henry I also had a failed interview today in Lagos.. The man asked me did I write a standardized test I said it wasn't part of the school requirements,then he said how did I then get a scholarship.. Thats it, that's all, that was the interview
Oluoha this guys are mean . This lady that interviewed me didn't give me a chance to talk . She said I don't have a job here and that there isn't enough reasons to make me come back
Nwuzor whats ur next plan
Okpoli Henry did you go today
The school I got admitted to is resuming on the 14th of August. So no hope again.. I already submitted my documents for Canada..
Hehehe time to get rid of my beards I guess 🤣
Adeleke Augustus
Lol why are you getting rid of them? 🙄
@@AladiAkoh I am trying to imagine how "easy" it will be to trim one's beard himself.
Oh you keep beards? You will have to learn to DIY. 😁
😍😍😍😍
Racism everywhere but not all of them are..
FloJay Creativity
Yes oh, you’re right.
Let’s be realistic now, even in Nigeria there’s tribalism. 🤣
@@AladiAkoh true
FloJay creativity Tv:. The reason why they didn't feel racism so much in Rapid City is because there were hardly any black people there. White people don't feel threatened when the black population is almost none existent. Now if the population was 10% you would definitely feel the racism.
Can i get richards contact oŕmail?
You go hunger
FloJay Creativity lol 😂
We are creating awareness!
Abroad Life is not beans, let them know oh!
@@AladiAkoh yea
Please stop talking when others are talking. Stop yelling as well.
Ok.
