Ghana launches Beyond the Return' initiative: "Come to Ghana if you're not wanted in USA"

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

To think I'd lost a bit of hope in the coli

I hear you.

So... in order to do this right, random ados would need to 1. Move there full time 2. Bring enough money to buy land, protection, pay off whoever to handle paperwork, ancestral claims on land, etc, indefinitely 3. Be ready to invest capital you could lose at a whim.

Hm. Most ados arent even prepared to invest in the developed country we already live in, where we already speak the language, and understand local law and customs.

Im forced to conclude that it's disingenuous and damn near reckless to present this as any kind of mass solution at this time.

But awwww shyt

No I just see that they are using this as a prime opportunity to enlist African-Americans.
AndpAnd itait wontgowon't beobe justujust them. Other people areware gonna try to recruit African Americans to their benefit

thats how the whole world operate everyone moves to their own benefit. AA are looking towards Africa because they want to see what Africa has to offer them, so they should.

You have land owned by kings/chiefs, gov't land and family land. Family land is where most have issues. Gov't land is often smaller and more expensive but you won't have disputes.

Roughly, what are the proportions? Like, which one is there more of?

 

[Ya?]

See? What does this mean? Please explain.

These are the types of conversations we should be having, not this "let's all go to the motherland and if you don't, you a hating ass hater who hate Africans" mess.

I don’t think I have said that, if that’s directed at me.

 

[Ya?]

I think Fulanis are only in Nigeria ..... Ghana chicks are nice

Fula are all across west and central Africa.

go to ghana and do what? still be subjected to white supremacy?

 

[Ya?]

Uh, no disrespect but that's the exact same thing the most vocal Africans tell us here. They came to do capitalism, with the specific intent of not involving themselves in our struggles.

So AAs in Africa are expected to operate differently? They want capitalists to bring their capital, but not to perform capitalism?

Don't get all touchy, im legit trying to understand the true terms of this 'deal.'

I don’t know what you mean when you say Africans came to do capitalism not to get involved in AA struggles.

A good chunk don’t leave Africa because they want to but because the opportunities were slim back home but the newer generation understand that we have to create the opportunities for themselves and going back.

most Africans are too occupied supporting their families financially back home that they are busy worrying about their own struggles to worry about others.

that being said the mindset is changing albeit slowly.
As far as capitalism it depends what you want to achieve do you want to live in an expat community but not to immerse yourself within the country or become a full fledged citizen.

Then just stay you are, better the devil you know.

What if you actually hired employees (vs family)?

Again, only asking bc it was actually suggested itt that one could split their time.


Could you share some?

Im trying to weigh risks (and being shamed for doing so), in order to, you know, do this like an adult, not like nas at the end of belly.

I have employees , I would only ever employ my immediate family , and maybe one or two of my extended family , basically all my brothers and sisters run their own things which is why I just have employees ...

The problems with hiring family is basically

They are incompetent

They are dishonest

Ive never had that issue but Ive invested money and done deals with extended family members knowing I would lose my investment , lost tons of cash but at all times I just looked at it as I was giving them money , because I knew what would happen

Bureaucracy is a nightmare , once you have to start dealing with government departments you would understand what Hell is , literally something that should take 30 minutes can take two weeks .... The solution is either to know someone or to bribe someone , gets done extra fast
Bottom line if you are dealing with government departments you are going to have to bribe someone at some point

I remember the last time me and my brother were building two apartment blocks , usually we have a building manager that would be on the site and my father would would pay the builders salary , pay for materials etc.. anyway this particular project at the time my brother was based in the UK , the apartments were supposed to take about 8 months to complete , so I said to him one of us should always be at the building site, so he would spend a month out there then i would spend a month, the airline tickets were roughly $1000-$1500 a month , and literally it was a case of getting to the site in the morning and sitting on a chair or in the car with a laptop , the building manager dealt with everything , anytime we needed to buy materials , cement , paint etc, I would go to the market and buy them And even adding the costs of the tickets , we saved a ton of money , a ton of money

we saved a ton of money on building materials , which I knew we would

Ghana is a calmer business environment , Nigeria is like the wild wild west , but there are a lot of similarities

First get a lawyer before you spend a penny , find one that will be able to advise you step by step in whatever documentation you may need for whatever you want to do Trust me bureaucracy is a nightmare

Dont invest in any company or business idea , I get tons and tons of business proposals etc... A lot of them are good ideas , but because I know I wont have ultimate control , I just think nah

And dont get me wrong You can make a ton of cash but unless you are really certain it may not be worth the risk

Wherever you want to move to , before you make any plans visit there as much as possible , every possible vacation so you really get to grips with the culture , there will always be a large expat community and make sure you make links with some of them , they will know exactly the difficulties you may have in transitioning and they will tell you what to avoid and what not to

The business culture is very different and If you suffer from high blood pressure I suggest you take plenty of medication , If you suffer from a temper get a good lawyer because you will kill someone

In saying all of that if you handle your business you will make a ton of money

I think it's 20% gov't 80% others

I know but ashamedly I didnt know they had a large presence in Ghana , because of proximity its obvious but for some reason I wasnt aware ... smh

 

[richaveli83]

Pardon my unintentional ignorance but does Ghana have consistent electricity and things like Amazon Prime? Also if a breh has excellent credit and never planned on returning to the US, can you technically take out a $100,000 loan here in the states and never pay it back if you put the money in a Ghana bank account?

 

[Ya?]

You literally answered your own question.

not quite, no African that I know come with the intent of alienating themselves from AA, they are too immersed in their own world to think about AA. It’s not malicious, many are supporting their families and are therefore focused on that.

the way you worded makes it seem African me come to America to slight AA they come to America to make a living. Many are not familiar of AA history, the second gen are more immersed and mingle with aa would have better understanding.
