What Happens After The 50 Year GHANA Land Lease? | OWNING LAND IN GHANA


Today we look at your rights as a Ghanaian and non Ghanaian, when it comes down to buying and owning land in Ghana. Can you be kicked of your land in Ghana? Why only leasehold in Ghana.

Thank you to Evans Arthur from AJ Law Consult in Accra.

  1. But you all welcome African Americans to come to Africa, but we can never own anything there now. How is that fair to us , that too me is a form of thievery and covetous, especially if I've outrightly purchased a property with my hard earned money and after so many years because I'm not Ghanaian you can take it from me ,God knows that's a form of theft I was thinking about moving to Africa but thank you for the video I'll move to Panama or Portugal or some where I know if I purchase a property it's mine I don't have to worry about in a certain amount of years it can be taken no thank you my so call mother land no thank you 😢

  2. Ghana has the habit imitating the western countries in laws and many other things. Where is the african tradition and culture. These days,you people in govt say:even in the USA that is how its done."For God sake Ghana is not the USA.We should stop making these crazy comparison.

  3. The land owner can just tell his children and grand children not to worry there many houses on their land to take in the future. In a world where these land owners are selling one land to multiple buyers. What a hell?

  4. Not good to invest! As with America generational, wealth is not passed down! After all the hard work you put into an establish a homestead 😮 thank goodness I watched this video before taking all my hard earned money to move to Ghana! Gonna invites us home only to take back after we have built on the land! it’s sad and on comprehendible: i’m thankful that now my eyes are wide open. Yeah, I feel hurt in my soul!😥

  5. So if you get citizenship in Ghana as someone of the diaspora, you can find a way to get freehold land? or you are still limited to 99 years as a “citizen?” Based on the very last question in this video that is…or, must you be born Ghanaian?

  6. AA who are in Ghana don’t tell the truth! The government like every where else is corrupt, they are under a caste system, renewal of visas in country every 3 months even when you own land, hypocrisy other foreigners have no restrictions that are there, but as soon as our black selves want to come restrictions, everyone else gets to take advantage of the economy but we are accused of robbing the Ghanaians or being bullies, after we were Sold for peanuts into the worst hell ever. No respect, so we can’t have land in our own Fathers house, hmmm 🤔 just wait YAH is Not mocked, different standards different prices, Ghana and other places in Africa on the continent is calling us, but we be stupid to leave the frying pan to jump into the fire 🔥., WICKED 😢

  7. Find somewhere that will allow us to own land outright

    Many of us are trying to have generational legacy. We can’t do this if we can’t not fully own our land

    Why would you make a land rich and profitable for someone else’s legacy.

    I guess I will have to keep looking

    Thanks for sharing brothas ✊🏽💖✨💕

  8. Hopefully all that Fake kind of lows that came through colonization have to be changed today?
    The fellow african américans brother and sisters coming back home need to have something New about that ?
    In the sixtise nobody knew african américans are going massivly to go back home?
    Therefore that situation needs to be worked again in that office of lows i think so
    Sorry for my english oooo😢😢😢
    But Stay blessed❤❤❤

  9. lol, this makes it perfectly clear that I will not buy any house in Ghana until I can confirm citizenship. Sell your home in the US just to rent elsewhere…..no thank you

  10. Let me make this perfectly clear, call me what you will.

    For African Americans the only home true home we have is for Better or worse AMERICA, North, Central and South including the islands between.

    It’s here and ONLY here that we can lay claim to true land ownership, and “rights”.

    Our ancestors HERE fought hard to obtain what we have now, and it’s our part to build upon that.

    I bare no hatred towards Africans, but once again African Americans and Africans in the American Diaspora mentioned above are being bartered for whatever it is we have of value materially and experience wise to help to stimulate African economies, and to me it’s not much different in bottom line practice what took place when they participated in the selling of rival Africans or even many of the own, for their economic growth, until the hand that fed them bit them as well.

    I’m not falling for it, unless I can be given the same rights as the mainland African born Africans, PERIOD!!!

    Any business done outside of that will be done with my best interest in mind from a financial standpoint First, and only.
    Because without ownership, true ownership rights, I’d be a fool and so would others, to invest and abandon the only home we’ve known for a 50 year, max 100 year guarantee.
    My posterity can’t bank On that!

    It is insulting, anyone saying otherwise is I’ll informed to say the least.

    America love it or hate it, Is both loved and hated for its money and military strength.

    The fact is African Americans are the richest Africans in the world collectively, so if we could be sold another bait and switch, abs abandon the only home we have true rights to, and then move to Africa with our wealth we’d do so like fools, and once again become orphans!!!

    Nope!!!
    I OWN my land here for perpetual generations, yes eminent domain and taxes exists, but EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD government can usurp under certain circumstances the land as they see fit. But at least here we’d still have to be paid handsomely for it, and this contrary to popular belief doesn’t take place regularly.

    There are surviving land ownerships dating over 130 years When African Americans were given full rights to land ownership in 1886.

    Say what you will, but yes, hell yes this is insulting to AFRICAN Americans who’s ancestors didn’t CHOOSE to leave Africa for a better life and opportunity in Europe or elsewhere. But who’s ancestors were SOLD, after having bs wars waged against their tribes, or simply caught slipping all together by the ancestors of what’s now called Ghana and other countries in Africa.

    So if a true mends to ills of by gone ancestors is to be truly realized, then only full rights of land Ownership and other rights is only fair.

    Lastly they could easily put in the clause that the land can only be passed down to heirs, or only fully transferred to other Ghanaians, mainland or diaspora.

    Anyway I agree with the comment that this is an insult, and is what stopped me in my tracks to opening up my factory to Manufacture motorcycles in Ghana.

    If I’m not going to get a better upside as an African In the Diaspora, then It makes far more sense to go to a country with better overall infrastructure and logistics systems and processes in place overall than Ghana or any other developing African country not allowing true ownership for those who become citizens of Ghana which takes about 10 years.

    I can agree with the foreigner 50 year rule, but once citizenship is given, then full rights should be expected and given.

    But to each their own, but I don’t get caught up in symbolism, and hype, I have to many employees who depend on me thinking beyond emotional impulses and publicity stunts.

  11. With laws like these, how do you expect foreigners to invest in your Country? Even England has realised the fallacy of leasehold properties and is converting leaseholds into Freeholds. It sounds like one of Busia's acute sighted laws akin to Aliens compliance order. There's so much wrong with this law
    i. What if the foreigner after 10 years sells his property to a Ghanaian citizen, does the Ghanaian gets 89years?
    ii. What if the Ghanaian sells the property on again to another Ghanaian after 20years? is it 69years.
    iii. This is just a future conflict waiting to happen. Ghanaians have a rent collection mindset and this will only hinder development and forever make families/communities socially immobile.

    Diasporas Beware, they only want your money, but not for you to have permanent foundations!

  12. This is why Nigeria will be far better than Ghana in this perspective. In Nigeria 🇳🇬, its FreeHold. In Nigeria, once you own it, you own it for life.

    LeaseHold in my opinion is the same mess in America where you pay taxes on a property for life simply because you dont own the land which means no freedom lol 😅😅

  13. Things have changed with technology. One can build removable building on the land after the lease the fixture can be moved. But it must be expressed in the terms of agreement.

  14. Well, if 50 years come to pass and such person still not a Ghanaian citizen and no crosses for renewal the chief can take their land back. But the property on the land have to values and pay compensation to the owner.

  15. It is an insult to be a black American, being held to the same standard as someone who is European. Many of us have ancestors who were stolen from lands which are now called Ghana. To be told by Ghanaian authorities that we are ineligible to acquire lands by freehold interest fails to take into account that we have ancestors who were snatched from those lands, and sold into slavery.

  16. To be honest
    As mentioned .After
    50 years

    Can the lease be renewal and if yes then
    Is important to let the lease holder interest put in account

    Also is important to have conversations with the
    Lease holder because of transferring to your children bearing these in mind
