Wonderful interview. I remember when I went to my home country there was no hot water so I heated water and bathed in a bucket every day. It took a while before my neighbor came by and showed me how to get my gas tank and to install a cheap water heater system. Cost $100 for the electrician to do the work. Ten years later I now have a sophisticated Eco heater system installed.

Mama 1 is very wise, she has lived on the continent for years. She lives like a local and understands the culture. I'd like to meet her.

[@azurisora9836]

Mama 1 Africa is a stunningly beautiful Queen and a wealth of wisdom.

[@tuentyfirst5101]

As a Rwandan who spent half of my life in the US I agree with the queen! Also Rwanda has done a tremendous job that people usually forget that the country is literally not even 30 years old.. everything you see today have been build in the last 29 years. So for diaspora be patient join the movement Rwandans are on which is to see the country flourish the journey is fun and enjoyable and the most good part of that is that Rwandans are open to anything. Bring them a chuck cheese and they’re down bring them anything and they down for the ride

[@kayjd9097]

Wow ! I do not agree with theory of Christopher Colombo discovered Africa as they were people who lived there before him and I don’t agree with your comment . Nor the lies neither money will erase the past history of Rwanda to suit this sugar coated version of RPF.

[@xena6894]

​@kayjd9097 I'm pretty sure - your own agenda aside - you understood that the OP meant everything was destroyed to unimaginable levels and rwandans had to rebuild everything from scratch. Somehow, some people responsible of plunging Rwandan in the abbys of darkness and their sympathizers, in the comfort of the taxpayers subsidized accommodations in the West , don't want to face the reality of the consequences of their past annihilistic agenda. So it's kinda comforting for them to think " yeah, we destroyed country, people, houses ,the fabric of a nation . But just a little, not as bad anyone may think ....See ? Some people survived, a few houses , roads remained , so not as bad..." There's nothing powerful than what's a tortured conscience can plays on some people's minds .

[@alinempinga7403]

Words of wisdom most people from the diaspora need to know that in Africa those who want to build, create partnership, learn and exchange with locals will succeed.Those who want to have the same comfort as in western country remember that western countries build their countries profiteering on Africa resources(people,mineral,agriculture goods) .Africa need builder,developer,creative mindset🙂 Welcome to Africa with that knowledge 🙂

[@KuttyJoe]

I agree. I'm in Ghana and partnering with 3 people in 3 different businesses. I never consideres doing business here without local partnerships.

[@patrickverified]

Thanks so much for bringing Mama One's perspective on this, when people say it's easy to start and to do business in Rwanda but what they forget is that Business is business, regardless where you're there are some truth about running any business, some of these American brothers and sister seem to forget that crucial part of business, even Locals open businesses and close, the good thing about Rwanda is that the issue is on how you do your business not about who is doing it, so regardless who you're and where you're coming from, you may fail or succeed.

[@alinempinga7403]

Remember there are many business closing in western countries ( following COVID, inflation) Africa or Rwanda are no exceptions

[@faithdodger]

What an AMAZING interview!!! I love her already as she is full of wisdom. I am an African based in the UK. My survival instincts told me to fit in by learning the culture, politics, banter and to mingle with the locals. While it's good to maintain relations with our countrymen, learning to mingle with the locals is a positive step towards settling into a new environment. Having an open mind has taught me a lot and made my adaptation easy. Even after living in the UK for 6 years, I am still learning. People from the diaspora willing to live in Africa should embrace Africa as it is, mingle with the locals and understand that the world is so diverse and waiting to be explored.

[@kwamekankam-boadu2467]

That was a whole class on how the diaspora should approach and do Africa from the Mama Africa Re-Acculturation Institute💯

[@ayodeler39]

Those clouds show us the quality and cleanliness of the land.👌🏽

[@shawright1]

I can listen to her talk all day. What a beautiful gem. I pray she has many more years. We need our elders.

IF the diaspora left their way of living and thinking to take on an African way of life and morals ,they will make their lives easier to adjust. Beautiful people and country. God bless mama Africa. Africa is for Africans.

Her voice is soothing for this Sunday afternoon, I love that Aaron matched her energy too. Wonderful conversation, looking forward to Part 2

[@xena6894]

Michelle and Aaron are wonderful interviewers wherever they are , Africa or UAE. Such positive and empathetic energy. I have recommended a couple friends in UAE to look for the school where Michelle works . People who were looking for decent teachers and schools.

[@jayajaya788]

I love Mama Africa!! Mama is a hoot

[@regisdush]

[@shay-rock6127]

❤️🙏🏾 I love this interview.

[@mumjarra]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ She is a beautiful example of repatriation. Thank you for showing us Mama Rwanda.

[@MunyiginyaPaul3]

An African country that will decide to give Afro-American citizenship and attract successful Black Americans will never need European Aid or White tourism any longer. I am ready to help Rwandan government implement this program. Text

[@benbo7042]

Listen. No country is going to you citizenship because you are an AA. You are not better of than Africans who migrate and have to wait for years to get citizenship.

[@saonedixon5476]

Can't wait to retire to beautiful Rwanda Allah willing 🙏

[@mizzobjectiveone3819]

Black Americans do the same things when they open businesses in the states. The prices are higher than a cat's back, so people go to the Koreans next door.

[@ov9879]

Mama One is wise and a very funny lady!

Going to Africa to start a business may not be a good idea. Even as a Ghanaian/Togolese myself, I'm going as a retiree with a guaranteed pension.

[@benbo7042]

What do you mean by going to Africa to set up a business is not a good idea? You sound very ignorant.

Hello. What goods are needed I am thinking of exporting goods from US to Rwanda.

[@aeiou0123]

Why would you do that? It would be too expensive

[@mmoore2758]

the problem is small population

"whats up?"

[@didiways4997]

81 and strong 💪 🌟 Thank you for sharing nomad and thank you mama 1 for your wisdom. Definitely Rwanda is a place. I think the diaspora people who are coming into the country can help to make that change dor things that is not working especially market value of things and goods and services.

Why’s don’t you cross the border and visit D.R.Congo and see how Kagame arming the ml23 rwandaise to destroy the all country and commit a genocide crimes, still all the resources to build Rwanda 🇷🇼?
