JAMAICAN MAN MOVED FROM THE UK TO GHANA 34YEARS AGO AND BUILT HIS OWN HOME AND BUSINESS
Ghana, as the former Gold Coast, and Jamaica share historical links through the slave trade and forced Ashanti/Akan emigration to the Caribbean.
People speak about the similarities between Jamaica and Ghana all the time. There is a huge Jamaican population in Ghana and Nana Kwame happens to be one of them. He moved to Ghana in 1989 from the UK and has lived here ever since with his family. He has built his home here and set up a school as well as a restaurant, a boutique and an airbnb.

My name is Jasmine and I have relocated from Sydney Australia to Ghana in west Africa as of the year 2020.
My parents are of Ghanaian descent and so am I although I was born in Australia. Here on my channel, my goal is to give you a real glimpse into what it’s like to live in Ghana and other parts of Africa, from the food, to the culture, to the lifestyle and everything in between. My goal is to satisfy your curiosity about Ghana and other African countries.
My prayer is that these videos do just that for several African’s in the diaspora.
Follow your bliss because life is short, follow your bliss because human life has no intrinsic value, follow your bliss because everything happens for the greater good and follow your bliss because it has all happened before.
What struck me most was when he said "Simple Things Make Me Happy"
Jasmine, this is your most organic interview. The interaction was flawless. You listened to him and he listened to you. The conversation was just flowing. Good job!
Absolutely enjoyed every bit of the conversation 🙏🏾🥰
Jasmine !! You are a true social worker ..l love your connection to humanity 🌹 such a lovely man & a great talented Jamaican Rastafarian
Great move Nanna is real down to earth man. I really love his humility as a real Jamaican man. Great Job! Jasmine I really appreciate your work. However; let Nanna know that am working with First Quality Transportation & Tours LTD. So if he has family or friends that are coming down to just enjoy the island. Just reach out to us and we will take care of their travel & excursion.
Jamaicans can turn they're hands and make fashion and survive anywhere they go. Very wise man, love my Jamaicans anywhere they are.
They live a modest life.
Well done ❤
What a lovely humble Rastaman, great philosopher? If you are from rural Jamaica, then Ghana is a home from home 🇯🇲.
To see a fellow Jamaican thrive is a feeling like no other. Sooo proud of him!! Plus, he still has his authentic Jamaican accent and I love it, so refreshing.
The cool cool hills of Mandeville, Jamaica- that's where I was born and raised.
I NEED to visit Africa to experience the heaven that he speaks of.
I hope we all win in this life🥰
🙏🏾❤️❤️
You will be surprised to know that there are Jamicans in East Africa thriving. They just don't have youtube channels. So Jamicans have been doing their thing here in Africa for many years.
Nana Kwame, full of knowledge and intelligence. Above all, very humble and with a lot of values. Beautiful soul
🙏🏾❤️
Jasmine, thank you very much for this video! I met Nana and stayed in Legassi Gardens for 30 days in the apartment on the second floor, on the right side of the building. The double bedroom. It was beautiful! His only request was that I not take photos of his children. I think he had two daughters at the time. It was a truly blessed wonderful time. I intend to see him sometime when I return in March.
How lovely x
Beautiful comment
Brother Nana is so humble. He's a Jamaican man with great vision. I wish I knew him in person to educate me in the visionary. He is a true African decendant born out of Africa. Well don brother Nana on your achievements in going back to the mother land, and chose the region where my heart lies, beautiful Ghana. Enjoy everyday of your life with your families, Blessings. ❤
Nana Kwame is blessed. Our ancestors are proud of him
Greetings from Montego Bay🇯🇲….there are no words to fully describe all that Sir Nana embodies!
Nuff respect 👏🏽 to him for his humble nature, his intelligence, his brilliance and vision, his love of the land and nature, and the Wisdom to follow his “Soul’s calling”, and to make his dreams a reality and benefit for humankind! Impressive overall especially the vegetarian and plant-based and eco-friendly lifestyle! He is an inspiration and role-model to many! One love💜🙏🏽
This interview shows that many had already returned to Ghana before the year of return in 2019. And will put a stop to those on social media saying otherwise..... 🙄.. love this.
Mi love to hear that " maintain low profile, less i talk less trouble i get into" mi no wan see no chief.
Well, I lived in Africa for 2 years. And I've been to Ghana. My skin is white but my soul is black. Just considering , maybe I will move to Accra.
🙄
Same😊
He is a perfect example of how we were created to be. Humble, patience, sympathy, and spiritual❤
❤️
His property would make a good wedding venue. Very lovely.
Yes bro
U get it
Very inspiring story worth sharing. Nana kwame you're a living legend. Nana, thank you for showcasing Ghana in such a beautiful way.
Take care.
Beautiful compound ❤. Nana Kwame is a true inspiration and intellectual man. Going to Ghana was a great move for Nana make. His knowledge and values did change that community 👏. Awesome 👌!
I admire Ama determination* Left Jamaica to U K *Presently in Ghana a shining example* Shows discipline & commitment* Salute U Respect
Excellent interview! Nana I am proud of you🇯🇲
Hi Jasmine. This is in my opinion your best interview and guest to date. Please pursue such guests and authenticity. No over-romanticisation of Gh life. These are the real diaspora movers to pursue please who represent the majority. ❤❤❤❤❤
So wise! He didnt come with a superior complex, that he had more valuable knowledge than local people. He understood the assignment.
Jasmine Ama
This is an interesting interview. I feel quite inspired again about Ghana. I was married to a Ghanian who transitioned almost 2 years ago. I would consider visiting Ghana again. After my husband passing i didn't think that i could appreciate Ghana without him.
This was s wonderful awakening for me. Thank you so much.🙏🏿🙌🏿❤️
One love from Mandeville Jamaica, all the best on your side ❤
Wow so asantehene, Opoku ware 2 gave him his name, nana kwame? Wow
This is amazing and am telling u nana u blessed for the Ashanti king to gave u a name!
Wishing u nothin but the best
Great interview! This is a great man. He doesn't fully realized his accomplishment. The King must have seen something in him to give that name to him.
@25:22 always prayed for knowledge, wisdom and overstanding.
Instead of understanding. 💯 blessed.
and this is what you call a strength in the Most High, and never give up, BIG UP FROM YARD
Nana spiritual being....he is the type of being spirits talk in dreams....
Honestly learnt so much from him ❤️
Thank you for the show casing.Hopefully some of our brother's who are not high fliers would be encouraged to relocate and enjoy the motherland.
Thank you.
I'm Christine Egesa from Unitwd Kingdom.
Beautiful and amazing what nana kwame has done
Great video Jasmine of an African born in Jamaica i too is an African making preparations to move home to the continent and Nana is a great inspiration for me as well. Keep up the good work Jasmine i am subscribed and would like to get information about Ghana knowing thats where our ancestors were taken from much love from Jamaica ❤🇯🇲🇬🇭

This is awesome when two ppl work together they create waves. The power couple so proud of you my brother and sister keep up the amazing work blessings.
Thank you, my brother! May God bless you with health, strength, and long life!
VERY GOOD Jasmine❤💛🖤💚. Nice to hear Nana's story. Wishing him and his wife well. They've done good things. Vanessa would love his restaurant I'm sure 🥰

This was so beautiful to watch ☺️. When I saw the minutes, I thought I was going to get bored but eventually didn’t even want the video to end 🥺. Nana is such an inspiration, he has done so well for himself and his family. I didn’t catch where Legacy garden is located though

I loved the simplicity of Nana & his hard work whilst following his heart. Thank you for this interaction.
I am so glad I watched this video. Mr Nana Kramer is full of wisdom for people to learn from. I like his resilient spirit too. He is a good story teller who keeps drawing you in as if he is reading a book. God bless him💖✨👑🙏🏽

Fantastic video very informative
Great job Ama.
Thank u 🙏🏾
Jas and Nana Bucky this conversation was special it brought tears of happiness to my eyes for many reasons. Ones values are so important when coming home to the Motherland. Humility, Work Ethic, Honesty and the ability to allow Personal Growth to balance yourself. I am sure Nana Bucky has many more golden nuggets to share with us of his early days in Ghana. Nana Respect till we meet. Wonderful interview Jas for me one of your best, but I am a bit biased 😅😅😅😅
Thoroughly enjoyed this flawless interview. Nana is ambitious, hard working, humble, confident, and much more. Thank you
This is so inspirational
