It is not the responsibility of Foreigners to develop Ghana or Africa. The return to Ghana was marketing for Tourism, not an offer to invest. Regardless of who showed up they were invited and if they decided to stay that is a separate conversation.

He is a Nigerian individual who strongly dislikes Ghana. Similarly, there's a person named Evans in Kenya who creates negative content about Ghana. I believe it's time for the Ghana Tourism Authority to engage with these two individuals. While they criticize Ghana, they speak highly of their own countries. It's disheartening to witness Africans behaving this way towards their fellow Africans.

You also need to remember that it was other Africans that would capture Africans to sell to slavers as well, had they worked together maybe slavery would not have happened, but they never got along amongst each other and that is still happening today, people need to understand the Africa is a continent with many different countries and different cultures, so very rich some very poor and many countries warring among each other, people in America tend to think Africa is just one big country and romanticize the idea of living there and not doing any kind of research

[@brofutv1853]

Nobody should engage those miserable ones. It's social media that makes it look like the diaspora coming to Ghana is a new thing. Starting with Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana has always sought to unite the melanin family. Panafest, the Joseph project and other govt initiatives have always brought the diaspora to Ghana. Now, if instead of selling their own countries to the diaspora, some African are jealous of the attention Ghana is receiving for its efforts, it's their loss. No body should waste their time on them. By the way, who's trooping to Ghana more than the Nigerians? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Most African countries are jealous of Ghana,but they will never say that. But if you travel out of Ghana,and as a Ghanaian,you see them. Most Ghanaians wrongly believe that they are appreciated by Africans. That are the Ghanaians who have never travelled outside of Ghana,and who takes their dreams to be reality. Just live your lifes and don't listen to what others say, as we all don't perceive life in the same light. But my advice is try to be discreet and don't love to be exposing your life to others, as you never know who is envious or what people think about you. No matter what you do to humans,they are never satisfied. Just be discreet and low key. Why should you show off your life to people who don't even know ?

Hi Tony & Ayo, I have sent you an email with an attachment that will give you the background on how the year of return came about. People, especially Africans in the Diaspora need to know how the anticipated scope of the project is. This project started in 2007 as the Joseph Project. The scope includes Ghana collecting and storing as much DNA of africans as possible so that anyone from the Diaspora can have a DNA check and possibly connect to actual family. It was not a one time tourism scheme like many people think.

...hi guys...l earlier watched the video of that guy. I thank you for replying to the guy. Americans who don't have money don't travel even domestically. But, the guy is blowing the return to America by a tiny minority out of proportion. Those that are returning back to the US are not having ample funds. Some of them l watched on KZbin saying they will be coming back. They acknowledge their lack of planning and saving. Throw a net into the Atlantic Ocean, you will not catch all the fish, but it doesn't mean some fish will not jump out to save their lives. They will be caught by another fisherman. Hey, you're not a catch of fish; metaphor here. Disclaimer: am not Ghanian but a South African. Good luck guys.

[@angelosouat5955]

You should know this guy is Nigerian, and he have a long-standing beef with Ghana, although he had stayed in Ghana before he was able to travel to the U.S. on a Ghanaian passport. I know him personally. He’s angry with the nation of Ghana being favored by the diasporas over Nigeria, and the good news coming out of Ghana from you guys. This is his problem because Nigeria is not getting the same attention. The truth be told, Ghana has always played a leading role in the West African region and Africa at large. The Nigerians always try to call Ghana "just that small Ghana" or "little Ghana" or their "younger sibling Ghana" although Ghana gained independence 3 years before Nigeria, making Ghana the first born of west African if was position birth position count, Ghana would be 3 years older than Nigeria. The bottom line is, due to their (Nigerians') jealousy of Ghana, they left room for the British and Americans to use them to jeopardize the unity of African states. This continues to date.

I’ve been watching him for months about Afrobeats origination disagreements between Ghana and Nigeria. Then he pivoted to talking negatively about Ghana with half truths about the Year of Return. His biggest lie is that Ghana was struggling in 2019 and that’s why Ghana launched YOR. Ghana had one of the fastest growing economies in the world in 2019 and so obviously he lied. Something must have happened to him in Ghana when he lived there. The least he can do is to be grateful he got a Ghana passport to come to the US because Nigeria passport was flagged at US ports back then.

@dandiablo3809 No, sir, after some inquiry, that is what I learned from some local people.
