THIS THIS THIS! Vanessa. Jeremy you are life! What he is saying is what I say to my peoples all day. Intially people look at me funny. Life is not about happiness. Its great to be happy but greater to be content. We learn from being under pressure, finding the ways to balance and to deal with pressure makes us stronger. What do we learn about our selves and each other if we are contantly blissful. He is so right about incubating Ghana and being mindful that we are not just trying to turn the influences of the west on to Ghana. We must hold our govenment accountable to ensure that Ghana is preserved and it doesn't become the UK or the US. We're leaving those places for a reason. The west taught us that what they have is civilisation but I would question that. This hunger for more more more. Consumerism, money. Take take take culture is the total opposite to what Africa and the brotherhood is and was ever about. We must must all strive and endevour to preserve the goodness and greatness of our continent. Holding family and community dear. The richest person that holds the highest monetary value that money helps, but it does not solve the woes and aches we think we long for. If you cannot find contentment where you are, you won't find it when you're rich either.

A very woke brother.

I think Ghanaians who have left to build up other societies, where they are not appreciated, should be encouraged with packages and incentives to bring them back and of course the locals who are holding this place down should feel as important as the arrivals.

Absolutely young man, that's exactly what I was thinking about Ghana, that if it's not careful with the influx of Westernized mind, living in Ghana may seem like living in London, which will work against the very fabric of authentic African living.

This is soo dope!!! He’s spitting soooo much sense. A lot of my beliefs but also got me re-thinking my goals in 🇬🇭

My only issue with westerners moving back is that they (majority) move back with money. That already puts them at an advantage with the typical Ghanaian who's average monthly salary is 300 credis. It's great when they bring business w them but it's not great that they are paying locals a low income because that's the standard there. So what's the point of advantaged westerners moving back to Ghana? They will create an even larger gap between the rich and the poor and bring their privileged western mentality that has been ingrained in them to Ghana. Actual Ghanaians will still be economically disadvantaged. That I have a major issue with.

I absolutely agree with you, I think if we are going to bring wealth back to Ghana we should distribute it properly in the economy so that lower income people can benefit from the new money and get paid a better/higher wage. I've always said that if I ever do business in Ghana Id pay the locals a better price than what they're currently getting, otherwise the gap will never stop growing.

Very inspiring. I work in sustainability and I've noticed how most of our African traditional practices which were branded as 'backward' are now being adopted as best practices for sustainable growth. We need to appreciate what we have and preserve them fiercely. Western education is good but we have to be selective in what we take from it. I love your vision. Please keep us updated on your progress and how to contact you.

Wow this guy is dope and intelligent. I like your beliefs about Ghana and your desire to make it a better place. Well done

Finally there's a video with someone like Jeremy! I've been binging on videos of people moving to Ghana from Europe and the USA, and I felt that many had an exploitative undertone (Ghana = land of (business) opportunities)- what I am seeing is there is an emerging 'diaspora class' and (at least in Accra) we're starting to price the locals out i.e gentrification. I understand that the structures of society are set up in a way that many of us will continue to sustain a capitalist system but I'm really worried that in the long-term it will cause some harm. This is to say that we need to be more conscious about moving to Ghana and our impact as Jeremy expressed. Keep up with your videos Vanessa - they've been insightful :) Christina x

Vanessa, well done and thank you for interviewing Jeremy Boateng! I enjoyed this so much! As a fellow African, I agree with everything he said! I love Ghana (and Africa) but I always feel that Ghana and Africa in general is vulnerable because most us can only 'see as far as the end of our noses'. We don't look at the pros and cons (for the future) enough, nor do we analyse things enough in order to understand them. We need to think about what is good for the future of people's health and what is good for the land as well as financial security. We never discuss the impact of things on the development of children. A lot of us are very materialistic and fashion conscious and seem to be only looking for material and financial gain.

I have also been coming to Ghana frequently, I come to Ghana because of what it is and how relaxing it is, and how happy the people are, which is so much different from living in London. So yes it is good for us to go back and improve the land but we must also be careful not to turn it to what we're running away from.

Grear interview. I completely agree with him.

Good insights into the effects of technology and industrialization.

Technology is not something to be feared. It’s that science and technology that will detect the problems (health, air, soil and water purity etc.) and solve them as well. Africa should learn from the mistakes of the west and implement ‘green’, renewable initiatives as a foundation, rather than as a fix to repair a damaged environment and an ailing population (as it is in the west). Also, not everyone can or should have to till soil to eat bread. Any thriving society will need contributors on all levels - teachers, doctors, engineers, journalists etc. If old school farming is your spiritual calling, more power to you - it is a healthy and noble pursuit. However, we can’t all be farmers.

Great interview! We must humble ourselves and learn, but at the same time they can learn from us as well. Many of the inventions came from African Americans through the hard trials of slavery. Many things people enjoy today The creativity came from the creator. For example, the traffic light and innovative ways of agriculture, freezers, refrigerators, The list goes on and on. There is an African American brother who invented a machine that takes the moister from the air to create clean water. These inventions that come from our Heavenly Creator and Father to us. The western mentality came through slavery and its in Africa through colonization. We both the African and African Americans must learn from each other. Thanks for sharing!

I totally agree with Jeremy cos lately lands in Ghana are being sold ten Times to different people, and I feel like we have almost run out of lands already, it makes Ghanaian citizens who have lived there all thier lives loose what they have acquired over the years. It would have been better if these celebrities will adopt some of this kids from poor home to be educated in abroad and build a better Ghana in future.

That's an interesting, and unique way to put it. Today, technology and the speed of information, and communication has made it easy to live day to day, and work day to day. The high demand for new tech and faster info, and communication has made us lazy too. However, made people think critically, creatively, and innovatively. I agree with his concerns, but I will admit, technology is needed in many areas of Africa. For hospitals, education institutions, farming, security, and many other necessities that are essential to meet the demand of its people. New technology and faster info and communication is vital.

I like this guy. Thanks VK.

He needs to get his message out there. What he is saying is very important. It's vital.

You are soo right bro.

NICE one

There’s a delicate balance between bringing destructive vs. constructive Western ideologies. I don’t think it’s leaving behind any ideas that can be categorized as western. There’s a lot Diasporans can contribute with the skills and concepts they’ve picked up-what is required is discernment and humility in knowing what is constructively applicable and what is not. He speaks of applying what he’s learnt in L.A. around perma-culture and mass farming techniques. Hydroponics and all those emerging agricultural trends can be considered Western, however are they good practices to introduce? I’d think so. A lot of times the disconnect is that people want to see Western outcomes (financial, societal, technological etc.) without thinking through the African/Ghanaian/Accra-relevant context, so they think blindly introducing certain Western things will get them the results they want. Not only are they wrong, it also ends up being destructive.

He's right!

That's superb

He has a very good point!

Vanessa you really need to venture into journalism really good Work that you are doing do not be intimidated by anyone to showcase the real africa

What a beautiful conscious mind from my Brother African. Some Africans are actually thinking and not just hype and following trend.

Totally understandable thought ... I'm planning to move as well with the same concerns. However those who are actually serious about moving are most likely coming with a more open mind and willing to put away their western ways and learn from the local people.

This is my favorite video so far. Part of diaspora and want to come back to be a part of ghana being prosperous and staying free. The diaspora in America know what bondage and slavery is even when they say its over and the chains are gone. Praying for Ghana / Africa as we make our way home💕

He is very smart ideas makes people's develops the soil or the ground always provides if you take care of him

I think that, if people are trying to move back to Ghana need to have the mindset of much patience, commitment, care and love for they people and respect of culture there and the people already living there. Also with the mentality to also be a help to those who are there that do not have much. Contribute to the economy there and not be selfish. We can benefit from the move but us moving there should not take away from the people already but to add to it. Making it of benefit to those there and not taking away from those who are already there. So we should not bring our western ignorance onto a country that has much moral and values. We need no more stupidity. I think we can benefit from the nice values that the people have there and learn them and apply to ourselves. It could really benefit us and break the chains of bad morals and values.
