IS IT TIME TO LEAVE GHANA? | LIVING IN GHANA | THE MOVE ME BACK SERIES

[@niiamu3300]

It takes a new Ghanaian in the UK 5 to 10 years to find their footings. So coming to Ghana from anywhere will also take time to settle.

[@niiamu3300]

@Hanifa Yusif , Thank you. Ghanaians don't run back.

[@gibson2675]

How long do you think it would take an Englishman to find their footing in ghana

[@kwakuasap102]

If you want to move to Ghana and stay, 1). bring/get lots of money to cushion yourself while you figure things out 2. Understand that you are in GH to stay, that vacation mentality needs to be dropped. Think about building something for you first, then enjoy later 3. There will be a lot of learning and unlearning to be done. Don’t expect things to be like where you come from. You will have to adjust lots of times 4. Learn to fit in.

Great advice

[@Kofi.86]

I agree Can't compare the continent with nowhere else

[@olevettepayne7793]

And know that your plane ticket's cost is some peoples salary for half or the whole year there...so be prepared to deal w/ possible scams and dont fall or rush in love w/ a native that might actually just be after what they can get from you, especially if you are a *foreigner* from US/UK. Just being honest/stating the facts. All love.

I am a Ghanaian , and my wife is a Jamaican. She doesn't even want to leave America. Make Ghana you home Makedah

[@tinotendakunaishe7952]

Nothing wrong with taking your time in moving.I've been working on my move for 2 years already...been back and forth twice in that time. Something Makedah might want to consider for her website, is to highlight the opportunities available for diaspora investors and ppl wanting to move, and then offer her services for business registration/consulting or whatever. A lot of these "headaches" can be turned into opportunities.

[@MickeyAgyei]

She came to her own on the topic of business/entrepreneurship. I feel she knows what she wants, it's just the financing of it that is pushing her a bit (only guessing). Ghana is paradise when you can afford it.

[@nnekaruizmontalvo6573]

Thanks for interviewing another Caribbean person!

[@pharoahmonk50]

Two absolutely gorgeous women, chopping up good conversation! Great conversation with Makedah!

[@Kofi.86]

I live in Jamaica born and raise and I agree with her with her answer towards Jamaica. the government is the main reasons why the crime is so rampant in the country

[@rikayangu3833]

I can understand, I'm an African living in the diaspora, I have thought of going back home so many times, but every time I visit Africa, I realize there are some things I really don`t know how to deal with even as an African. I really admire your strength and in believeing in yourself to take the step.

[@luciusc.k5173]

What a great business idea, I've always wanted access to a directory of professional services in Ghana. I like that there's a rating system in place too. Definitely saving this one.

[@ylstaggs]

I love Ghana and I know it’s a challenge, if I know the most high want me there, I know he will make a way for me and my family! Great interview❤️🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🇬🇭🇬🇭✊🏽✊🏽

[@elleesse1521]

Nice one. I love the honesty. You definitely need an open mind when making the move, because being a tourist and being an everyday resident are two different things. When you come with an open mind, knowing that everywhere has its imperfections and you must learn to adjust accordingly, you'll have a better chance at thriving eventually. You need tonnes of patience and a willingness to make it work. At the end of the day though, do what's best for you. Leaving doesn't make you weak - and staying doesn't make you strong. Knowing what's best for you and acting on that is what makes you a real winner.

[@niiamu3300]

Moving from one country to another country is not easy.

[@godschild5189]

I assume an issue for many people moving to the continent is financial stability. You need money no matter where you live in this world. Starting a business is difficult everywhere too. However, I admire those who are brave enough to try. It's my prayer to be able to move to Africa soon to escape the escalating racism. My only hesitation is the Quality of healthcare as an older person.

[@moretodela]

Healthcare is getting better, that much I can say.

You need to establish your own business and home before moving to Ghana! It’s the same to us moving to the west, it wasn’t easy when I moved to Europe and in America 🇺🇸! You have to be willing to take jobs that are not the best, but eventually things get better and easier! I went to college and and post doctoral studies!

[@wealthywoman8234]

Good interview But some of the KZbinrs should use their platform to interview some of the government officials eg the HEALTH MINISTER, EDUCATION MINISTER 🙄 , ROAD MINISTER 🙄 ETC and ask them questions about the things they're putting in place to better those areas. I feel like this issues are very important. You can't just say people should come and when basic things like things are not well placed. Thank you

Nice interview, with beautiful ladies. Watching from Trinidad and Tobago.

[@noirsupreme5401]

It makes me more proud of the African and Caribbean immigrants who migrated to the U.K. Instead of running back home they endured racism and many hardship. people these days are unwilling to appreciate the tough times. This younger generation want everything easy, a quick fix. Life is not that simple.

Love the transparency of this interview. Living and vacationing somewhere are two different experiences and Makedah explained that well. She also highlighted a good point about not enough family oriented activities. This is an opportunity for others to fill. BAYB is such a NEEDED platform. We really hope she expands it across the continent !

[@flomiller6175]

Very interesting video and informations on living abroad not only in Africa. There are challenges to over come wherever we live. I moved from a big city to an island and got stranded in paradise for a long unplanned trip because of the pandemic. Living in paradise is a different story. I am in the same situation leave or stay? I think when you are very young it's the time to use your energy to explorer your passion and use your God given talents. I have traveled and lived in many countries before and were able to bring some of my dreams true. I took sometime out to reflect and relax now I feel I want to do and see more where I am is too small and slow. In your conversation I got the feeling you need to maybe live in the city and not the countryside maybe more opportunities before giving up??

[@Uncle-Basil]

Ladies you have done a fantastic job with this interview, thank you very much!! Yes, unfortunately crime in Jamaica is off the scale right now, so I understand the sister's concern. Hey Dela, what happened to Kwame? It's like he disappeared...please let him out the doghouse 🐕...only kidding 😂😂

Admire her honesty about Jamaica instead of the woke version.

[@The10thManRules]

What's the woke version? What does that mean?

[@eileenwatt8283]

Crime in Jamaica is relative to whom one associates with. One is more likely to get ki lled in the USA just by going to the store, subway or walking on the streets especially NY. Where in Jamaica is there shooting up of schools? Children goes to school in the USA there is no guarantee they are coming back home. Everyone talks about crime in Jamaica. Those are direct targeted persons either because they are involved in shady business or their family is.
