IN GHANA THERE ARE HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS, IN EUROPE YOU’RE FIGHTING A MACHINE 🇬🇭

As Jamaican born in Montego Bay, raised in Washington DC, my first girlfriend now my wife is a Ghanain, we have 2 kids. I have opportunity to visit Ghana for 6 times, we are also building apartments in ABURI MOUNTAINS for rent. Any time I come to Ghana, my blood pressure is very low, 24 hours before leaving to the United States, my blood pressure also going up, I can even sleep in the night in DC. We are currently back to Ghana with our kids for 4 weeks vacation. 95 percent of our apartments are almost done, we'll moved back for good December this year 2022 to Ghana because Africa the Motherland is a paradise to live🌍🇬🇭🇯🇲🌲🌴🌳🤜🏿🤛🏿

Hi .it was nice to stumble on this interview, I feel exactly how this gentleman feels like, having lived in Ghana from age 9 to 19 .my parents are Russian descent. We left Ghana 1979 but Ghana never left me . I have bin living in Canada ever since, but Ghana never left me I will always be that white African boy that I am proud of.

Is astonishing a German born in Ghana, knows more about Ghana than many Ghanaians. If that's a thing

Fantastic interview and for me personally very recognizable having lived and worked in the 1980's in Ghana myself .

I salute people who accept the positive culture of the place where they live.

I am of Indian origin but was born in Takoradi...Ghana in 1952. My Dad had a business there for many years. We left for good in 1970 to Dubai.

The guy is very sensible. He's real and has people's skills. Live in the UK but Ghana will be my final destination in the future. GH all any day.

YAO van Landwijk, I love the way this man sees life... fantastic interview!!!

This man is a true true ghanian with culture. God is great and life is strange you can be a black man but your soul belongs to western world and you can be white with your soul in Africa. Soul is the real in us

I know Yao. He was a young 7 to 10 year old, when his mum brought him to work occasionally. I worked with his mum at the Ghana National Museums and Monuments Board. His mum was the Librarian and I was an Administrative Assistant at the Registry of the administrative department of GMMB. This was in the seventies. Dr Joyce Aryee worked there too, as Senior Administrative Officer.

Mr Yao has said the Truth Ghanaians are not lazy you have to pay them well they'll work hard for you

Ana, I can’t believe you kept this gem of an interview - which I adjudge your best so far on Ghana - hidden until now! This is a crime! Now you know why you are depressed in Europe. The lack of human relationships is so sad. We may be poor in Ghana, but we know how to touch each other with our humanity. Here in New York City, you dare not look in someone’s face or make eye contact when you are sitting in a crowded train or bus. You have to pretend you don’t see each other. On another point; the other day, I posted on an expatriate forum that the police and those at the airport in Ghana beg for tips and not bribes and do so because it is impossible for them to live on their salaries. From what Yao has told you, you now know how difficult things are for the average Ghanaian worker. With all the lockdowns and whatnots in Europe, I know you, your husband and kids will definitely find your way back to Ghana again and you would not be happier! Wishing your family the best of the season! Keep the gems coming!

Eti sen Wo ho te sen As a Nigerian/American, who has been to Ghana over 4x, both as a child, and doing work as an adult, including to villages, who has also been to Achimota, and toured the girls secondary schl as a child, I absolutely loved this! Loved what he said about increased wages and benefits. Started a new role and have never been around a more happier productive team, and this is the reason why! When you take care of your workers, they are happy and want to do well for the company. Medase pa to Anna and uncle Yao for this amazing interview. It blessed me much!

There a lot to learn from this Dutch man. Am really impressed with the accurate analysis and solutions he provides for doing business in Ghana. Great segment.

Great interview! Yao seems to understand the privilege in which he was born. He appears to have embraced the country, its people and the cultures in all their glory. A true testament to Anna's interviewing style which has made this such an enjoyable watch. Well done!!

I am not African, do not know how I found this, and I am not even Dutch. I found this video fascinating. I also enjoyed your son in the background playing with the sweet yellow dog. You have such a nice way about you.

Thanks for this video. After 50yrs, I finally know why everybody in Alogboshie was Ewe. I lived near to the main road from 1970 - 1972, next to what was then Pavillion, (later became Neoplan, I think) after which I relocated to Assylum Down. I also had all my friends in the village and the only shop if I recall was for Mr Yawtey?? Great childhood memories for me during this period/ Thanks again.

This video just made me so nostalgic....I have been to Ghana countless times but now I live in Germany.....just saying hello and chatting and laughing with people in the street or bus is NON EXISTENT here. Lovely content....

My mum is Ewe. I love Ghana, this was a really good interview, is nice to hear the story directly from the horses mouth.

Best interview so far Anna 👌! He is so genuine and says it as it is but at the same time throwing a positive light on life in Ghana as a whole. I like the part where he mentioned, the better you pay people to work and show care, the more they put in their best and the company flourishes like in the west. A very neat and educative interview. Love it 😀.
