You've Been Lied To: Making It In Africa Is Way Better Than Making It In America.

[@ConstDeter]

I’m in the US and I agree with you 100%. Having a good life in Ghana as a Ghanaian is way better

[@ConstDeter]

@@warupdateinru-ukr2182 as usual, work hard, get the money, start something in Ghana and relocate back

[@ConstDeter]

Lemme be clear on this. I never said coming to the US is a bad idea. For me, it was a good move because I am doing my masters here and I am fully funded in my school (I don’t pay any tuition fee and I also receive some stipends). However what he is saying is so true. There are Africans here who struggle a lot. People have to hide because they do not have the right paperwork. Unfortunately, many Africans don’t consider the cost of coming here if you have to start from scratch with no guaranteed source of income. That I can tell you, the US will be like hell to you. Your bills alone can sum up to 1000usd(which is even cheap). If you’re in such a situation and you don’t have any guaranteed source of income, that’s too much burden to bear. Also, even if you work, taxes here are way higher than in Ghana. People pay close to half of their salary to Uncle Sam(IRS). You don’t want to mess with them too (thus you evade taxes at your own peril). On top of that, your family relies on you to provide because of the “Borga” narrative. Native Americans don’t bear extended family costs but we are expected to do that so keep that in mind. It’s not as easy as it seems. Bottom line: If you have something in Ghana that fetches you enough to take care of yourself and your family plus you own a house, I wouldn’t advise that you come here to settle. Take the risk and start a business in Ghana and you’ll live a very good life. God bless us all.

[@KP-mr5nb]

You are a very smart and wise person!!!! He left Ghana (Africa) moved to America to use America for $$ and thenhe tells people that Ghana (Africa) is better than America. The funny thing is that he doesn't see the contradiction in his statement. If a person leaves Ghana to live in America.......this means that Ghana is not a good place to live. People don't leave good countrues....

[@albertatowright3978]

I stayed in abroad for many years working hard with stressful life and anxious spirit, but had my breakthrough after coming back to Ghana to start something, and now I built my first dream mansion at Asebu Pan African village. It all about the mindset. I'm a Ghanaian.

I agree. Successful Africans don’t share. Our people are full of greed so when the person who knows the way decides to share it, they will come for him. One can read books or seek out a mentor. People are just lost here.

[@sheastech]

People take America for a joke. They don't realize that it's very expensive here and if you don't know what to do, you can really destroy your life and be begging to run back to your own country. Africa is a paradise. If you have some kind of income that's stable that you can bring in through a business and not have to ask anyone for anything. I never had the stress in Kenya that I have here in America. I don't understand why any successful business person who is doing fine on the continent would give up a social life, peace of mind and stable emotions to come here and work, live and be treated like a dog. 😮

[@josephbrown1573]

If you did not have the stress in Kenya and are so miserable in the US why don't you go back to Kenya ? I have lived in US for 25 years. If I could live well in my country Nigeria WIHOUT STRESS AND WITH PEACE OF MIND I would have gone back from day one !!

[@thegoodgoodlifefoundation]

I personally have mix feelings on this. It all depends on the person, how they spend and what they actually earn when they get to the west. Ghana has opportunities but people need some kind of support to get started, doesn't necessarily means money but you cant get up and do what you dont know. Everyone everywhere no matter where they are the west or Africa needs support to start.

[@kamso9269]

100% in agreement with what you said. But the real issue is the government who is not providing infrastructure as well as small credit with direction for those who have the zeal to do something e.g life stock or small processing businesses. Lack of practical exposure is limiting a lot of educated Africans, especially the youths.

Not the government, the government cannot provide everything. Start small and grow

If you have the money, Ghana, Africa, is the best place to live. Why? Poor Africans will worship you! Is that not what every human been deeply desires? In Europe, who cares if you are rich. Isn't that what the rich hate? If you can buy a house, and so what? In Europe, even a cleaner, can also own a home. Try that in Ghana, or any of the African countries. If you don't have money, Ghana, Africa, is the worse place to live. Because being poor in Africa is a crime. Believe me. I know. I have been there! For the record, most Africans I know here in Europe do not wash dishes in restaurants. Some of them are entrepreneurs, teachers, technicians, nurses, work in logistics, drivers, IT. Many own their own restaurants, shops, saloons, and homes.

[@KP-mr5nb]

People really need to start thinking for themselves. The United States is no where near perfect but Africa is damn sure not a paradise. For example..... African poverty is way different than American poverty. African poverty is tin roof shack with a propane tank outside on the ground of a dirt road making $10 per month. American poverty is still having some $$ in a bank account, while unemployed and collecting either a welfare check or an unemployment check from the state. And while here in America many people borrow money and use credit to purchase things at least we have the access to purchase and the infrastructure is in place for us to lift up out of poverty. There's no doubt that there's crime in America but why move to Africa and be scammed, stolen from, murdered and in a land dispute with people who look like you?? We move to Africa buy land, build businesses and provide employment for Africans just to be lied on and placed in jail as my fellow brother from NYC just experienced. The other issue is this...... black Americans are not running across your border fleeing America to live in Africa. But Africans are fleeing Africa by the millions right now and ILLEGALLY crossing into the United States.....now our tax dollars are feeding them and housing them. So here's the question.....if Africa is so great why are there currently millions of Africans illegally coming to the United States?? See the attached video for an example.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5LEnWdsZb50qs0si=eID76s5BNlJvwE0s

Your business is geared to diasporas in America or the UK who need a reliable company to buy land and build in Ghana and have the dollars and pounds to pay . My brother moved back to Nigeria and works remotely for an American company earning dollars . Others are earning dollars on KZbin . Others are running air b&bs geared to diaspora .Because of the exchange rate they are living like kings ! I honestly would like to know what business in Ghana that caters to cedi earning Ghanaians, can generate this kind of income?. I retired early in US and as Nigeria is not an option and I have dollars to invest and don't want to spend retirement watching Netflix I am really interested in starting a business in Ghana. .
