One of the most captivating videos . This guy is a bundle of energy,vision and stunning intellect, you won’t watch this video and not admire Kojo North’s vision for the future for Ghana and the youth. Giving hope 🇬🇭

[@OH-ou6mn]

Totally agree :)

[@lionintu]

He is. All these videos help me to figure out what I can create for myself. I want to leave NYC to move to Ghana or S Africa. I plan to visit this year

Love this cat. Like I usually say, someday the children we had overseas will be the ones to lead us back home.

[@m77ast]

This is the reason why I’m proud of her. If you notice - all her outfits are predominantly African - her hair - natural african, her face everything odds natural. This woman is a silent warrior - a role model for the younger generation. This is what the fight for the betterment of our continent looks like. Kudos. Ps that last video - gentrification - got me to finally hit the subscribe button. That was excellent. We also want to see the struggles of our people so we can think of the solutions.

I have no idea how I ended up on this channel, but I'm really glad I did. I had no particular interest in Ghana, I barely knew Accra is the capital, but now all I can think about all day is Ghana, what an amazing country, I watch videos about Ghana everyday, it's like I'm on a geography assignment or something, I know there's a magnitude of data and shades of grey I will probably not grasp in this lifetime, but I really did develop a connection to this country thanks to you, Vanessa. My dream now is to visit Ghana and the Ivory Coast, not sure when that's gonna happen as my health hasn't been great as of late but I will focus my thoughts on this until I'm able to manifest! Much love from a Brazilian lady :-)

Great video Vanessa. Kojo, I love your idea about the tech company. The call home is happening for many of us. Your both an inspiration and motivation for others. Keep doing what your doing. "Africa for the Africans, those at home and us abroad, born and unborn"

[@Uncle-Basil]

This guy has a lot going on...he's using his talents to help the Ghana people and the economy...I am somewhat jealous and it's not because he still has an afro 👨🏽‍🦲 😂. I love the fact that he keeps his parents in mind in what he is doing...when you honor your father and your mother, it's inevitable that you will be blessed. My wife and I are in the planning stages of moving and my son plans to move once he has established his career...so Mr Kojo please hold the fort until we get there...lol

God created Vanessa for this purpose. You are really a God sent. We all love you. My children are watching you guys and are very proud Africans. They just love coming to Africa. I believe they will settle in Ghana and contribute to her well being.

It's obvious that he is very talented. He is also fortunate to boot. The fact is that his father handed over to him two major assets, which gives him a headstart. Some of us had to grind to secure what we have. My father never gave me any property. I pulled myself by my boot straps to own the two properties that I have since returning to Ghana from the States, after living there for 30 years. More grease to his elbows though.

Vanessa thank you for the great work you are doing. It is so inspiring. Being mixed race in Italy is not easy, unfortunately all my life I have felt miss placed.

Seeing such talented and courageous examples is groundbreaking

[@nasto4u850]

Where are your half roots…Ghana? I’m generationally mixed race but my grandparents’ roots are Caribbean and south American so don’t have an actual country in Africa to lay claim to so I’m exploring for now but will one day move to there. Don’t know how I’ll do it, my job in software development could perhaps allow me to move to Africa but not sure. I also want a home in the Caribbean…so many decisions

@@nasto4u850 to be honest - I’m already there because I started a construction project early this year. However in terms of physically coming down. Off and on this year and next year should be more often. Since 14 years of age I have been planning how to come to Africa to create industries, jobs, training and development opportunities especially for our young as well as our disadvantaged people . I started a social enterprise here in the U.K. a few years ago to setup a blueprint of how the whole thing will work. When I come I don’t want to waste any time - so I need to put some foundations in place first 😀 Blessings.

[@oo3716]

Great and love what you are bringing to young Africans, albeit the Ghanian’s youth, Vanessa. Your Dad should be proud of you. I am too. As regards the building, I think a modern design/aesthetic burglary bars on the windows would make a lot of difference and enhances the curb appeal. The current existing design (painted white) really takes away from the building. He should consider replacing them. He needs to add some (metal) railings (to approx 42in high) to the top floor balcony/patio where he was talking to Vanessa, because the concrete railing is too low. The bottom of the concrete railing also needs inserted railing too, to prevent a child sliding underneath and fall.
