These “running” comments are laughable. I reconnected with Africa 5 years ago and haven’t looked back. I love Tony and Ayo. They are so inspiring. African countries don’t have to be perfect, just like America isn’t perfect. I am happy to have the best of both. 🙏🏾🤎
Hey Queen! Good to see you continous expanision!
There has been so much negativity placed on Africa that has hindered blacks from traveling to Africa
I'm watching from Dallas ,having lived in Kenya for 20 years. So happy that American are experiencing Africa. It makes me happy.❤
I’m sorry you misunderstood my comment. As far as Europe goes we are not welcomed in Europe and not many blacks are moving to Europe except those with means or professions. My comment was not meant to be biased I only see a trend of blacks leaving a place their ancestors paid a heavy price for this country and made billions on the backs of our ancestors. Don’t you believe this country owe us more than opening the door for us to leave?
I am happy for them wanting something better for themselves. If however the country decides they no longer want these people there where will they go. I invite you to look at some videos interviewing Africans in different countries about their views of black Americans.
I realize they want a better life however we need to understand that Africans are in many cases struggling themselves having been colonized as other countries have been. Being an African American having lived through various eras of black experiences in this country I think we miss the most important aspect of this trend which is leaving something valuable for our future descents which is a home as well as land which they can return to.
I'm a black American male who lived abroad for 24 yrs in 5 countries, 3 yrs in France. I would like to suggest another blog that can also be helpful in addition to yours, information is power. I came across this blog a few months ago. The blog's name is Patricia Brooks. She's an African American woman who moved to France about 7 yrs ago without speaking French which she now speaks. She' lives in the south of France and her job, she works for herself, is helping other women, especially women of a certain age to leave the US and live abroad wherever they choose to. Me, I've never lived in Africa, but I have been to east, north and south Africa. I'm hoping to get to West Africa before it's too late as I'm now an old man. Wouldn't change my time overseas for anything in the world, totally changed my life. Good luck to you ladies, everybody for that matter. Remember in your Youtube search: Patricia Brooks or even Patricia Brooks France. For me it all started with a trip to Amsterdam in 1976. I have lived in Europe, Central Asia, West Asia and South America. I'm back in the US since 2006; liking and not liking being back. If I could add one last thing it would be the importance of learning languages. It became my passion after being surrounded by multilingual people during that 1st trip. while I only spoke English. Being multilingual now has definitely enriched my life in so many ways. If I were a younger, I'd try to learn Swahili. My dream is to speak a non European Language. That said, it's never too late to learn a language but it definitely gets harder with age. I started French, my 1st foreign language, at 24 mainly because I wanted access to the French speaking black diaspora around the world. Even now I speak French at least once a week with my Haitian conversation partner online and I've had good friendships with a couple of French speaking Africans.
This conversation is so refreshing. If I hear another sister talk about Portugal, I am going to scream. African Americans enjoying Africa. I love it.
Blue passport privilege: includes paying taxes to the American gov't even if you no longer live there. The USA will also retaliate against anyone who relinquishes citizenship for another country, by invoking a LIFETIME BAN! Dual citizenship: DOUBLE TAX PENALTY. The AMERICAN DREAM is a FRAUD! However, AMERICA considers YOU USA PROPERTY for their GAINS – NOT YOURS!
😁😁😁, I love this already. The intro tho.
I know this comment may sound out of touch with reality, however, we as black people should try to learn from past history. Running was not an option for blacks in this country in the 50’s and 60’s. Civil rights was won by uniting and fighting, not running away.

I LOVE YOU ALL
No one said Ghana is paradise. If you did not like GH fine but dont discourage others. People in Gh live to old age as well if you care to know- we also have trained doctors and nurses. Good luck to Ayo and hubbie and others coming to the motherland to help. Ghana appreciates
I heard they're running away from ghana to Kenya. Is it true?
Ghana is No paradise most people who love there always go back when their health start to deteriorate as the health facility there is primitive
GOD BLESS YOU ALL .
Loved this❤👍🏾!! I have been watching Expat Ghana for several years😍.
I'm a Ghanaian woman in the Netherlands, I started watching Ayo and Tony from the time they started their channel, and I've enjoyed this conversation too, I even reversed it a few times, and I have learned a lot. God bless you all and I hope Many Sisters and Brothers Scattered everywhere will be able to Visit their Mother Africa at least once, Akwaaba.

Gun shoot ceremony at the chief funeral with the 80yr old eating peanuts had been rolling on the floor lol
Oh Ayo, what you said is so powerful about feeling like you are insignificant when you are in America because you just feel like you are fading away. My neighbors here in chicago don’t even respond when I say hello. When I go for a walk, sometimes i wave and some look at me like I am crazy. I feel so lonely all the time. I was recently in Ghana visiting my parents who have now retired and moved to Ghana permanently and what you said just hit me. When I was at the Detroit Michigan Airport, I felt like I was there but was fading away and no one could care less. Everyone was just rushing up and down and when I was at Kotoka Airport, a guy walked over to me, greeted me and asked me where my suitcases were so he could carry them for me. I was welcomed with happy faces and my dads driver who picked me up at the airport was so happy to meet me . When I think about all that you just said , I know Ghana will always be home. Living in America was my dads dream for all his children. However, now that I am older, I have questioned myself so many times what my dream is for me. I can’t wait to finish building my home so I can live in Ghana full time. Thank you for sharing this video.
