This guy is a futurist. All what he is saying is factual but he will look arrogant before timid Ghanaians who think criticising leaders is a sin.

That mentality stems from the culture which discourages criticism of authority or elders, even if you have legitimate reasons.

That's a very sharp young man with vision Vanessa!!! He's 100% correct. You can help encourage him "and others" to move ahead. The government's motivation can frequently not involve logic nor "common sense!"

I really enjoyed this interview. Especially listening to his experience in both Ghana & Nigeria. His solar business also is a brilliant one.

Michael is a true son of our beautiful Motherland AFRICA! A visionary leader and smart Entrepreneur positively impacting the solar energy sector in AFRICA and thanks for being honest about the reality of life in Nigeria! 😊😊✊🏾✊🏾

what do you mean been honest about nigeria? this guy left nigeria when he was10 ! just 10 , what stories can 10 years old tells about a country? and i dont know why you people always compare nigeria with over 220 million people and 356 669 mi2 in size with ghana with just 30 million people and 92 099 mi2 in size? is just a common sense.

Appreciate Michael's patriotism towards Ghana 🇬🇭..I love Ghanaians bcos they are moderate and loving ❤ You will definitely succeed with this project..enjoy your life with learning experience. 💖

Trust princess Vanessa to find these young and talented people to interview and shine some light on that's why she's one of my favourite person in ghana.🥰😍❣🔥❤👍🏾🙏🏾

It is clear to me that Ghana will be fully developed in our lifetime and the economic leader of West Africa. One thing I am noticing is that the comment sections on videos to do with Ghana are becoming more heated than before with folks arguing about this and that. There seems to be a lot of slow uptick\backlash about returnees coming back and the government and other issues.

Amazing and welcome to Ghana. Keep up the good work.. I left the UK not long ago with no regrets.

Such an inspiring story, Thank you for doing this video Vanessa!

Great interview. Intelligent guy I feel this is only the beginning for this man. 🙌🏿🙌🏿💪🏿💪🏿

I pay close attention to interviews on Vanessa's videos. Always, informative and applicable to real life experiences. Fan, from the USA 🇺🇸.

There is a Ghanaian company who manufactures the solar panels here in Ghana.. You may link up with them.... That's an interview with wode Maya...

Michael is by far my favorite interview you've done. Great job!

Greetings Vanessa Kanbi, excellent interview with Dyson Energy and its great that he has a ton of experience in Nigerian,Ghana, and the UK in the field of law. The solar business is the new frontier and a great business venture especially with a law back ground. I wish Dyson Energy the very best in the future of solar in Ghana. Thanks for sharing Vanessa Kanbi and continue to enjoy yourself in Scotland.

Ghana has excess electricity capacity, our problem have been generation and transportation of the power. And now ECG is doing systems upgrade and power fluctuations will be the thing of the past. Interms of electricity coverage, Ghana have done 85 % of electricity coverage. We are second to SA. We aren't doing bad at all.

In 2021 Gana should be doing a lot better. Sudden outages and power going off for hours at a time should be a thing of the past.Especially if what you say is true about them having excess energy to spare. Unfortunately generators are still very much relied on especially in Accra.

This is so amazing! Well done Michael this whole story gives me life! I keep having these stories. The partnership part with other parts of the world is I believe how we can build our true Wakanda. Let’s go Ghana, let’s go Africa! Now I know where to come for my panels when is start building my house. Solar all the way. Yes solar is the key to supercharge Ghana 💯

One of the best interviews. Well done 👍🏿!

Great work, Dyson Energy Ghana. What you're doing is crucial in Ghana and on the continent! We are coming back home :) Great interview Vanessa.

MUCH NEEDED INFORMATION ℹ️ THIS INTERVIEW WAS SUPERB!

Very interesting interview! It’s very inspiring to see this kind of change happening in Ghana! Looking forward to moving back home soon too!

Great interview! All these people criticising this young man in the comments section need to stop. He is telling the truth. Some Ghanaians don’t like truth, always want to sugar coat things. No wonder why progress is so slow. I support everything this young man is doing and stands for! I wish him all the best in his business.

Thank you for your content! Great Scenes! Greetings from London UK

I enjoyed this interview! Very knowledgeable and charismatic young man.

Great interview!

I really enjoyed that interview very informative.

As always great content, keep it up

This show was very informative!

Great Great interview this was very interesting

You are spot on with your assessment of Nigeria

I'm from Nassau, Bahamas and stumbled across a program on CNN featuring this young entrepreneur in Ghana. DYSON Energy is on the leading edge of technology and is doing great things in Africa.

Wow that's awesome Ambassador Kanbi Great job hosting the gentleman. I can't wait to get back hopefully soon. Would like to engage in talking points for the solar system.

Very educative and informative conversation.

Great interview... Yes, it will take a combination of diasporans and locally based Africans to pull together to develop our beloved continent. Let's do it❤️.

Why do you need so called diasporans?🤔

@africanmindsetseries

3 жыл бұрын

@@trueamerican769 Because they are also Africans, who happen to live abroad for one reason or another. They usually have more money to invest or access to cheap borrowing, which they can use to invest and create jobs in Africa. They also have skills that can be used in Africa. I myself, am a Ghanaian who currently lives in the UK ( so a diasporan) but has a lot to offer and contribute to Ghana. I am already investing and creating jobs there, whilst planning my eventual move to Ghana.

Thanks for bringing this to.my knowledge.

Nice interview.

Hi Vanessa, thanks for the excellent interview with the young solar man. He is the complete representation of all the black Africans in the diaspora. We are glad he is back home and contributing to the Ghanaian dream. Ghana welcomes him. Please arrange a 2nd interview with him in the future, he brings the channel alive

Loving it ❤🔥❣😍🥰👍🏾🙏🏾

Very proud of you both!❤ 👏 💙 ♥ 💕 💛 ❤

I enjoy hearing & seeing Vanessa Kanbi talk about develipments in Ghana.

🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 I really enjoyed this interview you did a very good job. Africa for Africans we will all come back home.

Wow Vanessa, the dress is so so nice!

Awesome young Man, Michael is right, so many opportunities to be taken advantage of. I like the Achimota (MOTOWN) vibe...similar to my experience at the The on The Hill of Mfantsipim - The ONLY School in Ghana, LOOOOL

The entry of the video alone has got me hooked. This is a good patriotic man

Very informative

Fantastic video

He is so funny! Such an amazing young man 😀I always say Nigeria is like living in New York. It is rough and you've got to be quick on your feet every second of every day. It's harsh. Also one of the reasons, though I'm Ghanaian and my husband is Nigerian, we've decided to relocate to Ghana.

Great interview! Handsome guy too!

Very good interview. And don't worry Michael, I, just like yourself have been in the UK for the last 21 years. I found myself asking the same questions as you did before you moved. Ultimately, the question those of us in the diaspora must ask is where do we want our contribution to be? I work asset management and my research confirms what you discussed in this video with Vanessa. You can't power a 4th industrial revolution with a 2nd industrial revolution energy source. Energy will be renewable, mobility will be electric and autonomous and communication will be via IOT where everything and everyone is connected. Children of Africa, let's go back and build.

Very smart guy! Thank you.

Another great interview Vanessa, this was definitely one of your best.All we need is to clone this guy 1 million times over put him in charge of building roads and infrastructure water and sewage and sanitation recycling and healthcare. Then there would be no stopping Gana it would be One of the best countries in the whole of Africa. The ambition drive and positivity alone makes Michael a force to be reckoned with. If he’s having issues with importing containerloads of solar panels because of the greedy corruption of the officials at the harbours. Maybe he needs to buy some land and build a solar panel factory. Which would create thousands of jobs.

This man has the vision and the energy to pull it off. We will hear a lot more about him in years to come as he catches up with Akan. He should also look at public private partnerships sourcing Chinese Panel manufactures and having them put in place the infrastructure, liaising with local government to supply the electricity and collect revenues going forward, with a little help from Private equity firms.

Great interview

Loved the interview Ms. Vanessa!🌹 I was hoping that when he started elaborating on the electric automobiles 🚘, that you were going to bring up the subject of vehicles running on natural gas ⛽. Seems like that would be an ideal research project to spearhead, or participate in the financial aspects of it. Please keep these videos 📹 coming! 🌷💐🙏☺

Love the interview..very experience and exposed guy from the diaspora..that's what africa needs now..mass movement of people from the diaspora..his Nigeria experience is on point..must be street smart..Nigeria is great just hs had bad leadership back to back to back

Sister your always doing great job we love you keep it up

Good for you. Success story.

I like him interesting story great interview Vanessa

Nice one

Good job Vanessa. 👍🏿

Omg, I can't believe your boarding school stories are the same as boarding schools in Nigeria!

Great interview. Very interested in partnering w/Dyson Energy.

Bless you 🙏🙏❤️❤️

super interesting

Yes they have to come back.

There is a Ghanaian solar panel manufacturing company.Wode Maya had an interview with the company on his channel.Why doesn't he buy the solar panels from them instead of importing from the UK?

African countries need substations to transfer power along the grid. Plus roads need to be updated and erosion prevention to lessen impact of land slides.

Please tell this guy to try modeling or fashion adverts. He won't go wrong 👍

Its gonna be so glorious and beautiful

I will definitely buy from you

The boarding house story is for real though, we all had to go through it.

Vanessa, this is one of your very best interview, presentation and content 👍. It looks like this founder of #DYSON. may turn out to be Ghana's #ELONMUSK. I'm a #TESLA fun and believe it's just getting started in the GREEN 💚🍏 ENERGY SPACE. Thanks for this and will consider investing with #DYSON. Great Innovational presentation 👍🙏

I think he is doing a good job offering solar services to augment ECG’ inadequate supply. However, to talk about ECG as a whole as not knowing what they are doing is not good because even in the developed west, solar energy is not providing greater percentage of the solar technology they have pioneered.The problem is the politicians. Also there is already a Ghanaian father and son solar panel production factory at Kpone off the N1 in greater Accra. Maybe he will be able to get his UK partners to manufacture their panels in Ghana soon. This will create more jobs for the country and may help lower the cost of the panels and lower prices to increase demand. Not many middle class or diasporans coming home to settle can afford to instal solar panels for electricity at $10,000.

10:24 *is like Ghana taxi driver on a hill he turn his engine to save fuel and spark to climb a hill*

I actually hit the subscribe button after he said to, I did not realize I wasn't subscribed, my bad. I am an Angolan living in Germany. Sadly, I'm here helping to develop someone else country. If I could go back and create something, so many ideas.

God Bless Africa

The truth is that there is very little communication between national policy planning and implementation. But in a developing environment, a lot of over hauling needs to be done. There needs to be a major infrastructural overhaul. However, it leaves room for the private sector to operate. There could be a lot of startups in the solar sector to meet the gap of electricity in power supply.

Awesome place

Vanessa, love the dress.

Nice

The next step is to use the sun like a magnifying glass like how they are doing in spain solar has a life span or use the sun to generate hydrogen gas to power a turbine

To answer you Michael, nigerians are still the same...hustle go-getter at all times 😊. You mentioned the ghanaian government not being too keen with electric cars. You should thank your stars (no pun intended). In the nigerian house of senate, when electric cars where being discussed, a senator said "we're an oil-producing country, we should frustrate the electric vehicle industry so we can sell our oil and gas". The video is on youtube, it's frigging hilarious 😂.

Opportunity for private companies to get into power systems for homes and for vehicles.

Such an intelligent chap👌i really enjoyed the convo 😊de system is outdated and needs a total overhaul,who and how is now de headache mmmmmmm.......🤔

Hi Mike I am planning to come to Ghana and be working on LED and Solar lights. How can I get in touch with you. Also what you think on LED bulbs, Tubes and Solar street lights and Solar spot light. Would appreciate your response. Thanks and respect Bro :)

Eeeeeeeeee you are right. Africa must invest heavily and increase agriculture, due to climate change in Europe.

Africans will manufacture items locally and OWN the sources of manufacture, wholesale and retail. Then you will see the start of real wealth.

Plan is awesome 😅
