JAMAICAN MAN MOVED FROM THE UK TO GHANA 34YEARS AGO AND BUILT HIS OWN HOME AND BUSINESS
Ghana, as the former Gold Coast, and Jamaica share historical links through the slave trade and forced Ashanti/Akan emigration to the Caribbean.

He moved to Ghana in 1989 from the UK and has lived here ever since with his family. He has built his home here and set up a school as well as a restaurant, a boutique and an airbnb.

My name is Jasmine and I have relocated from Sydney Australia to Ghana in west Africa as of the year 2020.
My parents are of Ghanaian descent and so am I although I was born in Australia. Here on my channel, my goal is to give you a real glimpse into what it’s like to live in Ghana and other parts of Africa, from the food, to the culture, to the lifestyle and everything in between. My goal is to satisfy your curiosity about Ghana and other African countries.
My prayer is that these videos do just that for several African’s in the diaspora.
Follow your bliss because life is short, follow your bliss because human life has no intrinsic value, follow your bliss because everything happens for the greater good and follow your bliss because it has all happened before.

What struck me most was when he said "Simple Things Make Me Happy" Jasmine, this is your most organic interview. The interaction was flawless. You listened to him and he listened to you. The conversation was just flowing. Good job!

[@JasmineAmaa]

Absolutely enjoyed every bit of the conversation 🙏🏾🥰

[@elizabethbekoe381]

Jasmine !! You are a true social worker ..l love your connection to humanity 🌹 such a lovely man & a great talented Jamaican Rastafarian

[@aaronplummer6152]

Great move Nanna is real down to earth man. I really love his humility as a real Jamaican man. Great Job! Jasmine I really appreciate your work. However; let Nanna know that am working with First Quality Transportation & Tours LTD. So if he has family or friends that are coming down to just enjoy the island. Just reach out to us and we will take care of their travel & excursion.

[@JoGardner876]

To see a fellow Jamaican thrive is a feeling like no other. Sooo proud of him!! Plus, he still has his authentic Jamaican accent and I love it, so refreshing. The cool cool hills of Mandeville, Jamaica- that's where I was born and raised. I NEED to visit Africa to experience the heaven that he speaks of. I hope we all win in this life🥰

[@JasmineAmaa]

🙏🏾❤️❤️

[@Flourish_today]

You will be surprised to know that there are Jamicans in East Africa thriving. They just don't have youtube channels. So Jamicans have been doing their thing here in Africa for many years.

[@user-nv4yo3it6q]

Jasmine, thank you very much for this video! I met Nana and stayed in Legassi Gardens for 30 days in the apartment on the second floor, on the right side of the building. The double bedroom. It was beautiful! His only request was that I not take photos of his children. I think he had two daughters at the time. It was a truly blessed wonderful time. I intend to see him sometime when I return in March.

[@JasmineAmaa]

How lovely x

What a lovely humble Rastaman, great philosopher? If you are from rural Jamaica, then Ghana is a home from home 🇯🇲.

This interview shows that many had already returned to Ghana before the year of return in 2019. And will put a stop to those on social media saying otherwise..... 🙄.. love this.

[@jinkai598]

Greetings from Montego Bay🇯🇲….there are no words to fully describe all that Sir Nana embodies! Nuff respect 👏🏽 to him for his humble nature, his intelligence, his brilliance and vision, his love of the land and nature, and the Wisdom to follow his “Soul’s calling”, and to make his dreams a reality and benefit for humankind! Impressive overall especially the vegetarian and plant-based and eco-friendly lifestyle! He is an inspiration and role-model to many! One love💜🙏🏽

[@cynthiaormsby9348]

Brother Nana is so humble. He's a Jamaican man with great vision. I wish I knew him in person to educate me in the visionary. He is a true African decendant born out of Africa. Well don brother Nana on your achievements in going back to the mother land, and chose the region where my heart lies, beautiful Ghana. Enjoy everyday of your life with your families, Blessings. ❤

Hi Jasmine. This is in my opinion your best interview and guest to date. Please pursue such guests and authenticity. No over-romanticisation of Gh life. These are the real diaspora movers to pursue please who represent the majority. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@lokibuckman3987]

This is an interesting interview. I feel quite inspired again about Ghana. I was married to a Ghanian who transitioned almost 2 years ago. I would consider visiting Ghana again. After my husband passing i didn't think that i could appreciate Ghana without him. This was s wonderful awakening for me. Thank you so much.🙏🏿🙌🏿❤️

[@markweekes8858]

Jas and Nana Bucky this conversation was special it brought tears of happiness to my eyes for many reasons. Ones values are so important when coming home to the Motherland. Humility, Work Ethic, Honesty and the ability to allow Personal Growth to balance yourself. I am sure Nana Bucky has many more golden nuggets to share with us of his early days in Ghana. Nana Respect till we meet. Wonderful interview Jas for me one of your best, but I am a bit biased 😅😅😅😅
