I was born in germany cameroonian i want to return❤❤😂
I am AA woman married to Nigerian man. Will be visiting and building in Ghana hopefully sooner then later. Thanks to Unlce Sam and being born in US I have all the skills it takes to build my own business, life, and be creative and free in the motherland
WHY YA NEVER THOUGHT AFRICAN LIKE US ABOUT AMERICA?
THIS IS A SET UP! AS REFUGEE IN THE AMERICA. IF AMERICA WANT TO HELP AFRICAN, LET THEM GO TO AFRICA. IF AFRICAN WANT TO COME TO AMERICA, LET THEM DO SUCH ON THEIR TERM.
AMERICA is not UNITED STATES, THERE'S NO OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYONE! YOU PAY FOR EVERYTHING IN AMERICA.
AMERICA IS THE WORST PLACE TO ENCOURAGE AFRICAN TO TRAVEL.
I absolutely 💯 agree that we are Africans, ultimately Africa is our home. At some point we decided to migrate, and it's ok to change our minds about our decision at any time during the journey. However , there's also a narrative that should be emhasized ….how do we thrive while we are in the diaspora?. And it's also ok…if you are happy to make diaspora your forever home. The big conversation is do you have what it takes to thrive there? I focus on this on my channel.
A lot of diasporans are accustomed to being diasporans as opposed to being African nationals. They are not prepared to lose their excepted identity for a "new" one. I'm talking about those traits and traditions we've picked during our experience in the West. For others its the opposite..the return to Africa is a let down as far as escaping the brain washes of Europeanism and Arabsiation. In fact its even more entrenched than when they were outside of Africa. So the bottom line is we got to be realistic with our expectations.
It is better to wire money into your own bank account back home than to give money to a friend or relative to build a house for you. Once you have enough money in the account then buy a house with the money. This will help you avoid being scammed.
I love ur last statement abt the media, nice video sir👍.I learnt alot from you already.
Is funny how folks think our intuition controls emigration.everyone will not live in Africa. Many downplay the economic changes. The institutions clearly don’t care. Economic situations detect the pace of migration. For me coming back or not coming back, set goals for your life and do the things that make you happy.
Africa is home for me , came to Europe when I was 17yrs old now abt to turn 30. I don’t feel rooted here , I just coast through the day now years . When I am home I feel part of a people a community. Am preparing to be back home by 35 . I have no regrets, I have lived here and seen what is has to offer , am thankful but am soooo over it …… I think apart from finances , I think people are afraid to go back because there is pressure to live that lavish lifestyle once you return to the motherland. Why are you buying a home or land in the ghetto, were you not abroad?,,,,,,,,, So we want to keep up the facade that we have made it indeed. Work very hard to build the biggest mansion or get in debt , or die from over exertion …..
I'm a Black American After Visiting Ghana off and on for the last 2 years I have made my exit plan and will be relocating to Ghana. Most of my friends are Nigerians and they are the ones who tried to discourage me..Was married to a Yoruba Nigerian man for 8 years and he never went back home i literally had to force him to go back when I was visiting Ghana.. My Question to some African brothers and sisters is why give a foreign country the best of you and give your motherland what's left of you like.. why wait until you are in your 60's to go back home go in your 30's 0r 40's and create and elevate your people… That's my plans for Ghana.. But like my Nigerian husband use to tell me all hands are not equal
Glad to say I've made it back as an African American. Spent 6 months between Rwanda and Namibia last year, and definitely looking to return to experience other countries.
Africa need to follow the example of the Jewish State of Israel and stop practicing self hate. Africa treat their people like disposables and with that they keep losing valuable natural resources because they don't know value. Take a look at The Law of Return 5710-1950, and you might learn why Israel and Jews are great and Africa and Africans are not and given no respect because Africa will not respect itself. In 1950 this happened and please learn the beginning of power. "With the inception of the State of Israel, two thousand years of wandering were officially over. Since then, Jews have been entitled to simply show up and request to be Israeli citizens, assuming they posed no imminent danger to public health, state security, or the Jewish people as a whole. Essentially, all Jews everywhere are Israeli citizens by right." Now ask yourself Why the Jews powerful? Why is African not respected? Why is Africa weak?
Many diasporans hardly attempt to learn the languages we speak here, as well as give their children a chance to do so. That, as well as a well cloaked neo-colonialism vibe, would be my problem with them.
I am ging home. No more will i roam. Far away from my Volks, never feeling at home.
The above surmises how i feel in Europe. Been living in Germany since 1992 and i have had it. I am drained. I am empty.
At my age ( 62), i have to realise that enough is enough. The things that matters the most to us as Africans is no where to be found in the Western World.
In Africa we grow old with dignity in the midst of kinsmen. Ging back to my Country Naija is for me a must. This is what has kein me going all this while and God Willing, its ging to Pan out.
I have tuned out Portals and Bloggers who only have negative things to say about Nigeria. I Visit Nigeria regularly. The Nigeria i visit is not the same Nigeria they report on.
Dont get me wrong. I am not naive . Not all is well with Nigeria. But that goes for all other countries.
I think the younger generation African will most likely go home after a couple of years in the diaspora. I for one, will go back home at some point (and real soon). My wife and I had actually agreed on taking the kids for secondary education back home.
The problem of the value of naira dropping every few years. People move back and invest and they loose the money just with the naira depreciation.
There are people I know who are trying to sell up and move back to the west and they are not able to sell for all sorts of reasons.
Hi Bro,
You're really looking well, you've lost a bit of weight from your slimline face. Your wife must be cooking your some slimline and palatable amala, ewedu and gbegiri 😁😁😁😁👍👍👍💯💯💯👍👍👍 you are definitely right Phrankleen, most of us Africans in the diaspora, will make the countries we're currently residing in our 'permanent residence' because of challenging situation back home, its very concerning and sad isn't it? God Almighty help us!!!
You are right, but a lot of people abroad get stuck for some reason and find it difficult to move back home, many people are struggling abroad, because of the financial mess, going back home will be difficult, because they do not even know where to start. But for me, I will surely move back, may God help me🙏
Putin said africa is a cemetery where Africans who travel out go back to die.
I feel like we are having two different conversations. Africans that voluntarily left the continent, but still have aunties, uncles, grandparents and whole villages is not the same as someone who's ancestors were carried away forcefully and have NOWHERE to go. They are in a much different set of circumstance. If you have immediate family over there, it's not the "unknown". Just pick up the phone and call home. African Americans and others in the diaspora started channels to share information because we have little access or contacts, along with dealing with immigration and residency issues. So, I feel that there should be a distinction when speaking on this to avoid confusion we have two different struggles.
God talk Brother
My brother Phrankleen, keep up the good work, don’t mind the fearful and the haters, let those who want to die in exile die in exile Abeg, who cares, How on earth will someone say he won’t go back to his ancestral roots, even the African Americans whose ancestors were taken as slaves out of africa are returning back to africa in droves, they are going back to africa and investing in africa, and a true born African will open his mouth and say he is not going back home, who dey beg them sef, when they didn’t visit africa, is life not going on? , let them stay abroad naa, but let them keep their fear and negative mindset to themselves and not try to peddle it.
Even Obama who became the president of the United States of America is identifying with his roots in Africa, his foundation is working in Africa, and an African especially some Nigerians will be talking saying they can never go back to Nigeria. Shiooo……..
Phrankleen, I have been here in Germany in 30yrs, it is time to go back home. Home is home, and nobody can change my mind about the insecurity that they think we have in Nigeria. I don't like to be in the cold anymore and my body and bones want more sun and vitamin D. I am grateful your vlogs all the time, please keep doing this.. It will help many to free themselves from the bad part of the tradition.. Enjoying their individuality for the first time in their lives… Remain Blessed..
I will definitely be one of those 10% in Jesus name.
This is very true. Many of those who will not make it back home have fear of the unknown, love overseas better no matter their financial situation or get stuck for reasons such as marriage and financial mess. May God help us all ✌
My husband is now paralysed in a wheelchair because was almost murders by his own family by his own family because of his house.
First and foremost, brother. I was so pleased that you highlighted a comment of mine.
But commenting on this video, you are absolutely correct. The fear in some of us is huge! It has gotten to the point that, if I get a video or pic from Nigeria from anyone except a family member or a trusted friend, I delete it promptly without viewing it. But as you said, is the UK, the US or any of the other western countries better when it comes to safety? The USA is probably one of the most dangerous countries in the world, and anything can happen anywhere at any time here. But since this country is so socially polarized in every freak#ng way, if one is able to stay away from certain hot spots, one’s chances of staying away from danger is good. And thank God one does not have to be uber rich to live in a sort of the ‘safer’ neighborhoods, unless you’re in California of course. But safety in the US could never be guaranteed, even in the richer and safer neighborhoods. All it takes is one unhinged person with fire power to decide to go nuts. Then even your swankiest supermarket in your richest neighborhood can become a deadly place to be.
When you are facing retirement in a few years like I am, you start to think. Where would I get the biggest bang for my limited retirement money? Certainly, if you have your own house in Nigeria, your monthly retirement funds from your western country will go a long way to affording you a moderately comfortable life in Nigeria. But you’re conflicted about physical comforts. I have zero tolerance for heat. Will I be able to run my A/C constantly? During the summer months here, my a/c is on constantly, even if I go out of town for a few days, it stays on. What about moving around? If I want to go from one city to another here, no problem if I don’t want to fly. I, as a not-so-young woman can get in my car and drive 8 hours or more comfortably. There are plenty of places to make your journey comfortable, a plethora of food outlets, gas stations and rest areas on the way that would make the journey seamless and comfortable. My movements will be sort of curtailed in Nigeria. Or what if a health issue arises. Can I trust the diagnosis of some of the doctors in Nigeria? I lost a younger sister a year ago, it was painful!!! I was told that she was severely constipated, and they took her to the hospital. The doctor performed treatment on her, and a couple of hours later she was dead. Why? That question remains unanswered till today. It was traumatic beyond measure.
But I see people around me, friends, who have made the move, or planning to do so in the near future. So, I am thinking about it as well. But then what about my children? What about my grandchildren? Will I be okay seeing them once a year, i ask myself.
Yes, young people should definitely think about the move back, or at least have some sort of presence in Nigeria, in Africa. I try to instill this in my children. But for some of us older ones, it might just be too late. We’ve been too physically comfortable here, even though the stress is too much sometimes.
Blacks will come back as African nations are working hard in building creating good atmosphere to live
I would set up an international level justice system that had the ability to snatch these racist perpetrators from where ever they are, extradite them and force them to face true African justice. All these race soldiers shooting innocent and unarmed black people and getting away with it…. Are you serious?
Personally I think that after 500 years of blood, sweat and tears, where ever foundational black people are, such as the descendants of slaves in the Americas, the UK and the Caribbean, that territory belongs to them as much and in many cases more so than anyone else and they should really think hard about abandoning their 500 year investment. If the white people in these regions have a problem, then they are the ones that need to move, perhaps to Greenland or Antarctica or North Pole or somewhere. I think being recognized as an African should afford those people out there in the diaspora some protections, whether they have been to Africa or not. Africa should set itself up so that it can properly protect its people wherever they are, just like all other nations do. Instead of placing sanctions on Mali, they should be sanctioning America, UK and Canada for the abusive treatment of African people. No Cocoa, no sugar, no Gold, no cell phones among other things. They should aid the diaspora who reside in these lands to better establish themselves as Africans right where they live. Open up branches of African banks and stores etc. Africa cannot always be taking and never giving. That is not the ways of a mother. It was this same diaspora, that fought South-African apartheid. Many of these people do not want to move to the Continent after 500 years. Sure they are happy to visit a lot and even invest, this should be made easier for them, but they also have a lot invested in the culture where they reside, even if it is a racist culture. Africa should help them, protect them, work with them, not just if they come back to the continent, but where ever they call home. Peter Tosh said, "no matter where you come from, as long as you are a black man, you are an African", Africans are citizens of the world and they should not let any illegitimate, ignorant, bullying, usurper, push them out from where ever they want to be or happen to be. Africans need to establish international courts that can oversee some of cases of injustice that regularly occur within the diaspora. It does not matter if these fake puppet judges set up in the various jurisdictions decide to recognize the authority or not, right is right and wrong is wrong and the world sees and supports that. Africa has great and talented populations everywhere on the planet and she needs to recognize her responsibilities and establish protections for every black skinned person on this earth, where ever they are…. You can establish a Universal African passport which can be issued to every black person on the planet for an affordable fee. You do not have to just keep copying and following what Mzungus do. You can innovate and do your own thing. Create your own reality, so your people can be happy. Not continually being reactionary to the abusive actions of these Mzungu nations. What do you lose? They impose severe and unjust sanctions on you anyway. They flood your land with diseases you have never seen or heard of and then turn around and try to blame you. They continually issue propaganda via their main stream media outlets to undermine your governments, they rob the Continent blind and then charge you for the privilege, come on!…….. Just my view.
Can anyone seriously blame the diaspora Africans? Looking back at the countries they left behind, has anything really improved? I think not
Coming to the west is a trap 😂 once's you see it, you can't unsee it
What baffles me are Africans that complain about foreigners invading Africa and at the same time condemn those that want to go back and uplift their countries 🤦🏽♂️
That's very worrying 😔😔😔😔
Brother,
I appreciate you…
I love the way you stress the word “FACT” and I think you should reconsider calling this segment “FACT” because that’s exactly what it is 🤔
I know people who have made 2 or 3 resolute attempt to relocate back to Nigeria who involuntarily had to come back to the UK to start all over again after losing money, time, work experience etc.
Its challenging to relocate and thrive in Nigeria especially if you have been here for more than 10yrs. Most people can't cope with the system they have now become estranged to.
Fear is a false evidence that appears real ..
Fear the fear and do it any how,else you wouldn't reach your destination!!
I appreciate that i came to the wesr ,is not my home im going back where i i belongs!!
Home sweet home 🏡😌
Like ants eat a little and take the rest home
When you are used to Occidental life
It's difficult to go back
I get wow when I hear you say something with limited information. Then I analyze your total message and realize you get 7/10 things right. 2/10 are vague/ambivalent and 1/10 you are wrong. To Err is Human. Black People across the world are a complex entity
If the finacial knowledge you have is more than the money you have, you will always find it easy moving anywhere in the world. And the reverse is true!
Have a self check!!
The USA 🇺🇸 was definitely not built for African Americans, Africans, or blacks period. Think about the foundation the country was built on if you know it’s history. Over the decades and in recent times, whites had to learn to tolerate blacks, because of certain laws put in place for individuals to have equal opportunities and access like their white counterparts. The civil rights act opened doors for foreigners all over the world to get a piece of the pie. Unfortunately, I have witnessed how the USA is still deeply rooted with systemic racism, discrimination, and prejudice. These trends are still currently in the education system, the workforce, and the housing system. The crazy thing is, mainstream media in the USA is flooded with propaganda to discourage African descendants to not even think about stepping foot on the African Continent. Therefore, if you lack higher education, lack a certain mindset, or don’t have access to wealth, you are most likely to not think about going to visit Africa. Even though I was born and raised in the USA 🇺🇸, I never felt like it was home. Thank God I have gone back to the motherland to see what life is all about and I’m aware I have other options.
Phrankleen actually read my comments 🙌🏾👏🏽🙏🏾. Dear brothers and sisters in the diaspora, I can only beg you to please take that leap of faith and go see Africa for what she truly is rather than listen to the narrative of western media about Africa. I’ve been in Nigeria for a month and half now and I can tell you that I’ve never been this happy in my adult life; beautiful people everywhere, the landscape, the nice weather and most importantly the food. I can’t get enough of this place. Bro, I’m glowing!🤩
Oh Alkebulan “the mother of mankind” I will be back. I will be back for you are everything I own. My home. My peace. 🇳🇬❤️🏡
💯 Percent in agreement with you my Brother. Until you start watering your own garden, the otherside will always look greener!! Africa for Africans, simple!✊🏿♥️🖤💚
Blessings from the Universe King. I am from the USA, born and raised in New Orleans, LA. I'm preparing to visit Nigeria and Ghana, next year to start setting myself up to move to either countries. This has always been a dream of mine. I have always felt the push from the ancestors to relocat to Alkebulan, the connection is so embedded in me, I have to act on this feeling. This segment like your past contests really got me thinking and taking action with these plans. As the late brother Marcus Garvey said; "Africa is for the Africans." That has always been in my heart. Please keep the videos coming.
Thank you my brother 🙌🏾
Ile lobo simi oko, if only people in the diaspora truly understand that. Nice one 👍 Phrankleen gbayi padi mii
God bless you more sir. Home is home ,Africa is the future and God bless Africa 😇
