    I think it is more appreciated to share contact information for your guests, such as Instagram, and full names written properly. So that we can see and find out what the person is doing in their daily life or professionally. This is my first time on this channel, but still, I really don't see much about these girls or why I should watch the full 26 minutes. I am just giving my opinion. Thank you.

    It's not that people enjoy being abroad; the circumstances in Africa make it difficult to stay. You have to live there to understand. My late mom was one of the people who went to America, studied, and returned home with the hope of changing things, but corruption from the top down made it difficult. Like her, I was born in America, and we moved to Nigeria as a child. We moved back to America after secondary school. I still have relatives in Ghana, even though we are Nigerians.

I live in US and have a great job, but I am not happy! I get up and go to work. Money is not happiness ! Money doesn't make a person happy. One hour in the traffic, and eight hours work with and E/ R calls back to work. Where is the happiness, when you live to work. and not work to live, You are a slave to money.

    Thanks Tim once again for your dedication to Ghana and the diaspora. Am a Ghanaian living in the states and it’s my hope and dream to relocate back home and am doing everything to make it a reality. However, people leave Ghana in different circumstances and some don’t wanna come back because they had nothing or foundation when they left. This lady as you can tell is from middle upper class family, so it’s easier to go abroad, study without sending money home week for the rest of her family, so it’s circumstances that makes some people feel uncomfortable to return but deep down they would love to return.

    Tim, the desire by the Ghanaian youth to leave the country or African youth is two fold - there are the economic factors but the most insidious is the colonial mindset- everything African is bad, and everything from Europe/West is better. It is a deep psychological issue that explains why the continent has lagged others. All the major accomplishments have emerged out of self confidence, self belief, and appreciation of the gifts God gave us as African people. Every major accomplishment on the continent comes from that. Yet, the colonial legacy is that we need handouts. That is the root of the begging culture. The youth need inspirational leadership and good management of national resources to restore pride and confidence.

    @@NanaKNOwusu Can we get rid of the colonial mindset or cutting our girls hair in schools? You're right, it's certainly deeply ingrained and we self perpetuate it and aggressively protect what cultures, traditions and modes of thinking the british gave us. If we want to change it we have to be ready for it. And leadership can only do so much, most of what needs to be done has to be done by the people. This isn't to suggest that people will rise up by themselves and start doing everything, but those that want change the most and are thinking it needs to happen on a large scale are going to have to be the ones to mobilize other people and organizations themselves. We mostly only need leadership to remove certain barriers that are usually placed there by *leadership* in the first place, things to do with law etc. "Leadership" as it is now in ghana is actually best in a supporting role than a leading role Also what exactly are people asking them to do to address the specific problems they're seeing? Because people often throw out a vague "we need leadership" but rarely state clearly what exactly they want to be done. Leadership aren't engineers, they're not business men, they're not teachers etc. Many of them don't know how to do what would need to get done. We need to done a better job on how we ask for improvement

Mind you, I was the only African-American on the bus. Everyone else was Chinese. I screamed out, because of the pain and about three young ladies got on my leg to massage it. The rest is history.

That mindset can change with time and with the reeducation of the Ghanaian child.

    Yes you may not denied mortgage in the states as black person but you may not be allowed or systematically denied to buy a property in certain areas and also you may get mortgage but would not get a fair rate and everyone knows that so if you Joseph Brown don't know this, then something definitely wrong you. Your type of black are the ones who are blindly brainwashed whitewashed to believe that if one or thousand black people are giving a chance in Western Countries then all is good for everyone. I feel sorry for you what kind of education training you're giving your children. But don't worry one day you'd not brag or boast about your and your daughter livinh in predominantly White neighborhood... it is when but not if.

    This young lady is a American citizen. She is obviously from a well off , privileged family in Ghana. You seem to be missing the point .People like this in Ghana have privilege's and opportunity . She went to college in America from Ghana . There are Americans living in America that cannot afford to go to college .This is not the type of person who needs to leave Ghana! Plus as a American citizen she can go to America or another Western country whenever she wants ! The desperation many Ghanaians feel due to lack of opportunities is obviously not an issue for her !

    Most Americans have access to college than Ghanaians do, just more costly for some. I doubt if she was privilege in USA. She probably was a bit more comfortable in Ghana than the average Ghanaian, but I doubt she came from the elite background you asserted. Having American passport or education is not a passport to success. Anyone in USA, esp. us Africans who have studied & lived there will tell you. California has 200 thousand homeless in the streets. The difference is that Ghana has opportunities that no one is pointing the youths to. I understand that it may require some funding, but every success starts with good partnership & entrepreneurial drive which is not being encouraged. Some basic tools can help: If 4 young men own 5 football-field-sized (~5 hectares) of plantain farms, that is 5 X 2500 bunces (12,500). A bunch goes for about 55 cedis, 12500 x 55 = 687500 cedis, in 10 months. Value added thru restaurant & cook houses with some young ladies or turning it to flour can total 800,000 cedis. Each young man gets 200K cedis a yr. with 2 months of rest. Rollback that cash & diversify/expand. That's what I am doing with youths here at home. You get dirty, you can get ahead. Not easy but very rewarding.

    @josephbrown1573 - You've taken this video as a personal attack and countered with nonsensical statements. "People have to do what they have interest in" - Sure, but where did anyone say people shouldn't do that? "I have a profession that I spent years studying and I enjoy my work" -- You are not the subject of this video. Nobody knows who you are or gives a toss. "I have lived in the US for 25 years and even with discrimination I have achieved great success and have reached the top of my field" -- I think you forgot to add, "I have zero social life, use 95% of my income to pay for housing, taxes, car note, utility bills, credit cards, have no savings and can't even afford a plane ticket to visit Ghana or take more than 2 days off work". "The discrimination in US is more of a personal nature. It does not prevent you from getting a job or buying a house were ever you want to live " -- Point us to where in the interview this lady said she returned to Ghana because she couldn't get a job or buy a house? Besides, for someone who claims to have lived in the US for 25 years as a black man, you sure are very blind to the nature of discrimination. Try this... skip a few payments on your mortgage or property taxes. Lets see how fast you'll be introduced to the REAL owners. You are living in an "illusion of inclusion" (term stolen from another KZreadr).

    If you listen to Tim closely, is questions are riddle with separation of people and race. This is because, it's the way Tim was brought up in the USA. When he talked about her mother, and father I guess making love, she blushed. You don't do that in Africa. This is why 70% of African-Americans should not be in Africa, until they read and watch documentaries on Africa, especially the one they would like visit. I have noticed also that a lot of AA's do return to the US frustrated. Ghana is a developing country, and have to work for what they have. However in the US, the people work hard, but the US government can go into other countries, and steal there oil, and minerals or anything they can get hold of.🙃🤔

    jahmala Why, we can't talk about race? Not sure what you're saying but hope you're not spewing some colonized mindset where you just think white people are nice, because we need to get rid of that nonsense. If you live with them for a couple hundred years you would talk about race too. Just like it became a problem for fellow black africans in south africa when white people relocated there in large numbers. On minerals african countries sell their minerals for money, it's not being "stolen" (at least not for the most part, maybe in the congo or some illegal mines but not in most cases). We just have mostly bad deals that don't maximize what we could get out of them.

    I like the way, Tim reminded her of the laws of sexual harassment in the US. - as to why no one would just jump on to massage her feet. I think she never quite understood the American system because she seemed almost always focused on building her life in Ghana because she definitely belonged to the Ghanaian higher echelon. With all that, she doesn't belong to the Ghanaian lower/middle class masses, so it doesn't surprise me that she enjoys Ghana so much. And that she always has a backup plan ready to deploy should she ever want to return to the US. Most Ghanaians don't have that sort of hope.
