After read that l feel like l just read / watch the whole show without even watching the show.😂
Oshay "I don't care what color you are, you can be purple. But! You have to be African purple" smh 😂😂😂
I agree with you. Running a business in an informal economy is something else.... talk about the corruption, people wanting to lower your prices esp in this tough economy, corruption again 😆, gatekeeping from cartels that make it difficult to get into an industry, and most importantly untrustworthy employees that will lead the business to close down. There are a lot of business opportunities in Africa but chances of your business surviving are tough. A lot of wealthy people have the money to set up factories and stuff but then opt to make money via government bonds, treasury, stocks etc.
Crazy how Duke is speaking on what I’m working on now. We will connect with Africa with leverage strictly business. Numbers, money, talent, transparency 💯.
Oshey is absolutely right.
Even big cooperation has been frustrated and run out of town. Organisations like viagin airlines and a few others have closed up shop in Nigeria due to reds tapes and selfish, corrupt intentions, and same applies in many African countries.
Execuse me that’s how western companies are run 😂😂😂! So few monopolies - locking out others
Execuse me that’s how western companies are run 😂😂😂! So few monopolies - locking out others
Like Glencore and Anglo America? These 2 are balling… learn the game and play or GTFO… want us to open up to exploitation….
@OpinionatedAfricanTraveler Not in most cases. Except you are referring to not too well established companies, go do some deeper research.
There are some companies set up for a particular purpose, just to have them established in black and white to enable them open shop in a particular country and region, just as the offshore outfit, once they have archived their aim, they close shop and off to somewhere else under a new registered name.
In regards to what Oshey was saying, I'm talking about well established organisations/companies doing legit businesses, but are being frustrated by a particular country's business policies of doing business and corruption by individual government officials.
Even as a private business person looking to transact business with a government parastatal or some private indigenous company, some official(s) somewhere will almost snuff out all the breath you got in you if you're not willing to play ball their way which in most cases is unofficial.
@@LetsTravellChannel
Yes to a extent it is but The approving manager in most casses is not the son of the Court Lawyer and the nephew is not a part of the Government business sectors. I have three businesses in the states. Example a daqurie business I found the location got my license and opened my business with Zero pay offs bro all three with zero pay offs. Sure in America it does happen but to big million/ billion dollar deals not a small business man. Definitely not nearly the extent of Africa.
Stop thinking it is bro your dreaming
Damn Oshay
You hit the mark dead on. African American working with Africans in Tanzania. Maaan it’s hard failed first business just opened a bar and about to sell vapes. All under the table. 1 Unless you have a Tanzanian who has your back your screwed.
When Africans in positions that affect you in the system are making 300 a month they gonna do you how you can afford to get done. Always go to the top of that sector of interest because no one below them are gonna give you a fair shake.
No one in the diaspora is wanting to shake things up bro it’s so sad.
Very informative topic. For Africa and especially African Americans who want to relocate to Africa. We African Americans must study and be prepared to deal in Africa on topics just like this. Too many Americans have relocated to Africa only to return home with negative experiences because we did not prepare first.
100% they thought they would encounter fairness, transparency, honesty, and integrity through the romanticized propaganda fed by the delusional arrogance of African culture .
You have to move as a collective. This is good content--finally.
Oshay Duke Jackson, you are correct to say most times foreigners are favored over citizens living abroad. The issue of dual citizenship which is still not allowed in many African countries is another way they try to disenfrachise people living abroad. They love to receive money transfers which ultimately end up in the hands of local elites and foreigners providing goods and services.
Africans living abroad are seen as a political threat unless you and other black diasporas who cannot compete for political office. Wait till you start advocating that African Americans should be allowed into politics and see what happens. You seem well read about African issues. There is a man called Strive Masiiwa, a black Zimbabwean, multi billionaire owner of Econet wireless group of companies. He faced many years of issues trying to incorporate his telecommunications company but it was easy for him to do the same in Botswana, Nigeria, New Zealand and all other countries they have operations. In Nigeria, it took him time to register because he refused to pay bribes. Now he lives in the US mostly due to the fact he is suspected of either financing or supporting the opposition party. By the way, they will allow Keganda to thrive until it becomes a threat then you will find out the real Africa.
Totally agree get proactive in Africa or people will gather their own communities and groups to get the job done!!
If all those mindsets in Africa is only self orientated, calculated delays and dragging their heels no ones got time for that. Why Africa isnt developing as it should and deserve.
Corruption shouldnt become right, excused or made to become an African culture.
Things have to change and developments have to be made so africa can shine as it should.
Mindsets need to change. If you keep doing the same things you will always get what you have and lifestyle you have to live.
As a British Black Businesman, Ive never been interested in doing business in Africa. There seems to be far too many pitfalls and difficulties to bother.
Where do you really come from? Carrabean or african?
& their problems r self inflicted! Sad.😮
It is ok
@@africaine4889 Born and raised in Britain, but my Grandparents are from Jamaica.
@@anonymousvip1665oh we are so hurt
African-Americans/Black British/ Black Caribbean blacks in the west etc, need to group together in these African countries and create their own investment groups and do business amongst themselves like the Chinese, Indians and Arabs do. The continental Africans do not look at you as one of them so you have to move like what you are, a foreigner. Don't treat and abuse the continental africans like the Indians,chinese, Arabs do. But as far as how they group together and do business amongst each other, circulate money and opportunity amongst each other. That's what the African Diaspora needs to do.
stop putting black Americans with Black British, black British are largely black africans and Caribbeans. Black American and Black British are completely different.
A lot of those black British are africans
Western African Americans, Brits or Caribbeans stick with and favor their own kind. The three would not genuinely come together.
@@elevenfiftynine From watching these videos, Oshay has mentioned multiple times that these groups may not get along in the US or Europe, but when they come to Africa they seem to gravitate to each other more because of the familiarities of living in the west. All black people in the west are grouped in the same pot and looked at as foreigners by continental Africans.
@@antebellumblackamerican7408THANK you it's so annoying. The only folk in Britain who have a similar history to black Americans are Caribbeans. It gets annoying when they talk like black Britain is on par with them.
Spot on Oshay, back in the United States, black Americans want to do business with the African community, but there are always road blocks in the way. Most of it is from a corrupt system and gives up! I have heard that most of the resistance and pushback are from Nigerians. People refer to them as scammers, greedy, and selfish people! That image must change in order for the diaspora to move forward globally!😎
Africans and Caribbeans just prefer to work amongst our own groups or with each other. Most immigrant groups stick to themselves or other immigrant groups.
You're absolutely right, Rachael! It's disheartening to encounter such attitudes from government workers in Uganda. Remember, as citizens, we deserve respectful and efficient service since our taxes contribute to their salaries. But that ka attitude from is terrible they need to be trained customer care.
Great point by Oshay about the diaspora organising before they start operating in Africa, it's definitely about having strength in numbers. The current way on the mainland is too slow it's time to grow people
Babaluku speaks well and he is knowledgeable. I really like his conversation.💯
that is agaba.
Wow, and so I have been told. Unfortunately, I am hearing that we are selfish in action for our own minor needs and immaturity and forgive the benefit of the whole. My heart just breaks to hear this. Incredible! So sad I appreciate the heads up.
Im bahamian and its the same situation in the bahamas as our saying goes friends family and lovers and if your not in that group not much will get done
Did you watch the entire show? Even the Ugandan brother has stated the problems. Wishful thinking will cost you a lot of wasted money and time.
Personal financial benefits before the betterment of the nation is keeping black countries back. This type of corruption is stifling the overall benefit of the masses.
Juanita you are correct. While I was in Nigeria and was on my 1 year national assignment 1 was warned by my boss to slow down with treating the files. When I asked why, he told me that if we continue finishing up too quick, that soon there will be nothing for us to do. Hence we could be declared redundant and fired 😅.
😅😅so we are all one in the end 😅
@@joanitamaaya Joan why did you call me a hater on your previous episode? you know i'm a fan of the show and i always leave positive comments.
This Kenganda episode is eye-opening on a personal level, enabling me to continue on the transition of establishing roots here in Kenya. My 5-year visa is just the beginning, as I'm looking at several available properties.
Likewise, Oshay shares the same experiences as us American expats, especially dealing with that one local individual who moves according to "What's in it for me." Solid production.
I do not always agree with Oshay but he is right about this topic. It is very obvious, you see it as soon as you step off the plane. In the Caribbean it can be like this as well. There is a culture of selfishness in Africa that no one wants to talk about, and this inherent need to be worshipped or recognized as someone great that is not warranted. This however also happens in the Middle East, so do not think this is just an African phenomenon.
17:52 When ya run out of work there's alwayssss more work in a US work model- of getting sht done. sometimes that is drumming up more biz, making the place look better, follow-ups...and drumming up referrals, cross training, and projecting goals for the. business to reach.
This is one of the single most important issues for our advancement. Improving the business culture and environment in various African countries. The bureaucracy reflects the failure of the countries' private sector to be self-sufficient and capable of growth of scale.
Oshay was on blast today 😂😂😂❤ they want African Americans but not their diaspora 😂😂.
I listened to this last night and was excited and also heart broken.
Absolutely, tribalism, cool kids clubs are of no benefit to our collective strategy forward!
The being suppressed and oppressed…Ia nauseating! It’s even worst because the face of oppression is the AfriKAN onto another. That is one of our greatest impediments to collective upward mobility.
I’m here for building it and adding value. Spot on!
Honestly. I started listening to this channel because of the truth messages as my family is considering relocating to an African country. But the more I listen, the more I think it’s not worth it. Not because of the channel. It’s because of the truth. I can’t even say I want to be a part of the solution, which I do, because I doubt Africa would let me. It seems that having such a hope would be delusional to impossible or lead to bankruptcy. Thank you for speaking hard truths. That’s the first part of getting better.
Africa is growing without African Americans. Africa is making millionaires and billionaires everyday , by ourselves. We don’t owe you anything. It’s rude and arrogant for African Americans to think we need them. You’ll need to humble yourselves more
Some people just want preferential treatment and red carpets without saying it out loud and upfront. Africa will be Africa regardless and we will not seek out people. Let them come on their own accord.
😅😂😅😂
Yes. there is a multitude of talent and creativity working @ kenganda...there are also affiliates who stop by from time to time that are innovative as well. But, like the autobots from the transformer movies...why can't everyone combine and create one multifaceted production that has different segments dedicated to different aspects of the Diaspora?
I always thought the same. I have a production company and I can't get any help. I thought maybe it was a music thing but when I got into tiny house design, I thought I could find people to build with. I built it by myself. I don't know why it's so hard getting people together. But I have to keep moving forward even if I never find partners.
Great show, been watching and truly appreciate the content. Been all over the world you inspired to get ready for Africa 💪🏾
I'm coming to Uganda! To help build. Stay positive bro, don't let anyone get you off your game. Power in numbers 💪
Dude go build your own home
@@chewenio-pz5km I've already built my home.
@@theteacherdisciple3831 meaning build your own community in America. We Africans don't need you and will build our own.
Good luck. Let me know how it goes for you
@cmichelle6888 Absolutely 💯. I will document everything. Stay positive, your attitude will guide your heart, your heart will guide you words, and your words will guide your life. In scripture, it says the word became flesh. Your words are powerful. If you are humble and if you have discipline, your words can guide your life. One ❤️
Great conversation. Education in the UK is a 20 year plan. From age 4 to completing an Hons Degree. That's how the government plans and its linked to thr needs of industry in 20 years time. So educational investment in teachers and subject offer, facilities etc is geared to demands if industry. Of course the education department of government has to fight for and make a case foe its budget. Teachers will receive a 6.5% pay rise from September. That shows where the government is in its thinking.
It seems to be an issue of “value to ones self” in regards to seeing if it’s worth their time or energy to do a thing they are being asked to do. We all hold value to things on a different scale. Great conversation!❤
I see it as, if it's your job, why do I have to beg or payola under the table? It's heart- breaking to be crapped on by skin folk after having been so for hundreds of years.
But they should b taxing Europeans like that.
Most Local Africans have 100000 dollars and more. I visit the states requrlarly. African Americans are struggling. We are not saying “Don’t Come”, but do not at the continent or expect an easy return. Tour brothers coming here to the Continent come with 15000 dollars and you expect to be a millionaire in a year. When most African Americans work at Macdonalds taking per hour 7.50 dollars and working endless hours. OSHA’s the diaspora must be realistic. Come with a million dollars and see what the continent can do. Really Oshay ,please let’s be real.
most African Americans do not work at Mcdonalds. That is like me saying Most Africans are selling food in the village. You do not know what you are talking about. We are 20 percent of the military. What local Africans have $100,000 or more but the roads look like this? You need to stop being so silly in your thoughts.
@@OshayDukeJackson . In 1870 80% of blacks,12% of whites and 20% of US were illiterate . Over 250 years after white started settling and colonizing Americas . 100 million native Indians wiped out in less than 100 years . By 1920 less than 16% of US adults had graduated high school almost 150 years after so called "Independence" in the 1770s . Today over 80% .
Most US development recent in the last 100 years . Universal electricity ,freeways, expansion of public school, medical schools last 100 years . In terms of relative performance Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Botswana etc ahead using independence dates as bench mark . Uganda Independence 1962 recent . roughly 60 years after "US Independence" driving ,flying ,permanent roads, sewers largely non-existent in a predominantly rural and plantation US . US urbanization 1870 less than 25% roughly over 250 years after white settlements in US . current Uganda urbanization 60 years after Independence roughly 25% . Modern passports US 1920s .

@@OshayDukeJackson By 1950 less than 50% of US had completed high school and only 14% blacks had completed high school . By 1940 less than 3% of US had college degree. And by 1960 less than 4% blacks had college . EDUCATION WAS AND IS STILL A CHALLENGE FOR BLACK but closing gaps despite expanding wealth gaps by race and marriage patterns . For college degree blacks approximately 25% , white 36% , Hispanic 17% , Asian 60% today .

African Americans complain alot about Tanzania's investment visa to be expensive while the Chinese never complained 😢
You make good sense. Group economics with the diaspora 👍🏾Claude Anderson always mention this.
Everything you’re saying about how people move on the job and corruption can be applied to St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean.
Phenomenal segment today Kenganda team ! I learned so much ! keep up the great work for sure ! 👏🏽 Love the transparency, honesty, direction, and hands on approach as a diasporan member that is planning to move to the continent. Also, love the WhatsApp group ! Super engaging, thank you Kenganda team for creating a space for us to connect, learn, develop, and educate each other 🤎
Another excellent program 👏 🥊💐
But what exactly are they teaching the kids ?????????? From what i see on the ground nothing of value
This is great insight, especially as im trying to do business in Ghana, but I have learned to build a team of locals to represent me. Because of my relationship with Ghanaian in my home city.
I can tell you the same thing is happening in Colombia with Afro-Colombians and the lack of connection with Black Americans. There is a disconnect between us and 70% of the place we go. We are seen as opportunities, exploiters and in some since we are colonizers with the same pigment of skin. This is often more to do with the cultural function and implementation of knowledge or skills that could be working these actual positions to make positive change
Power to the people👊🏾
Def. need schools to get more ppl up to speed for modern business practices.
It's not a school problem it's a culture problem. People are not raising their kids to take pride in their work or even have an air of professionalism. It sounds like they just teach them how to groom themselves.
True it doesnt make sanse holding down pipo. Its even becomes interesting hearing other pipos views . Eg Agaba.
He should do an episode on what trade is possible with East Africans... What needs are not being met?... How can those of us with a business can we connect?
Everything you guys are describing regarding doing business in Africa is the same thing that happens in India/Pakistan, just getting a document stamped can take repeat visits to the uppity sommbytch’s office to deliver the “fee”.
Speak Oshay!! Tells the truth thanks.I don't want people some are Black American comes to Uganda or Africa Looking Womens (bubina bums or matako) of women and starting the Women of Rwanda or Congo are better than Tanzania or East africa women are better than American Women are some.thi is time to speak about business and opportunities I never seen India or Arabs or Chinese come to Africa starting toking about Women are looking opportunities!!!! Black American wasting money to buying ticket 🎫 come to Africa beside to looking opportunities looking City's Bubina Matako.But we want Black American Women to come East Africa community to looking opportunities because Women are strong enough to faiting to reaching and to get what they want !!
20:17. Yes Racheal mentions Japanese business manners, everything about Japanese service/customer service/professionalis/timeliness! should absolutely be duplicated! service is top in Japan---the only thing with Japan that can be left is the rigidity in areas where a customer wants slight changes to a product and. they won't-- such asking for lettuce on your Fish Filet at McDonalds- they. won't do it. In the US - it's pretty much- tell us how you want it!
couple those two coutries' approach and master it. and you'll see black ppl moving in droves to Africa ready to. work teach build business
Valuable information
I'm a black American in Tanzaniza and a Pan African I can speak....but it's true they make it hard for me to start a small business meat Butchery,the currouption turns me off they getting license,tax ID , people want to get paid under the table for doing simple things!!! I can take my time and money to dubia or south Africa
Oshay Duke Jackson is one of the greatest Pan-Africanists currently living. He doesn't just talk the talk, he's walking the walk. I have no doubt the name Oshay Duke Jackson will be among the halls of the great. Marcus Garvey, Malcom X and others, he'll be among that mighty throng of the ancestors. I'd stand behind this man to hell and back.
"Holding you back" 😂😂😂 oshay
Team Duke, !!! Like that u dont sugar coat
Oshay, how are you able to make the bold statements without retaliation toward you? It is very shocking how free speaking you and your peers are able say whatever you think.
great podchat
What about facilitating a program that partly sponsors those in the Diaspora that demonstrate extraordinary thinking capabilities, formulation of ideas, and a genuine interest and love for reconnecting to their culture, spirituality people and land?
@eldercraft8912🙄.. here you go with the begging. Sponsorship.. NO, you will only get scammed.
That should be a two way street.
Sponsor YOURSELF and demonstrate the ability to bring something to the table. Dont bring that begging BS over here.
Gabs. Please reign in Oshay and this American toxicity debate. You want special treatment.
Rein in what?
Blessings all

To answer Master Gabs question. The WIIFM for an employee is his salary. Do your job that you are ALREADY being paid to do, your incentive is keeping your job. The sugar coating that he put on the Bu!! $#!+ that people go through here trying to get anything done in a corrupt society was masterfull. The huge strides that President P. Kagame has made for Rwanda by exposing, punishing, and rooting out corruption is the best and most relatable example. Greed and selfishness will continue to keep Uganda behind globally and locally. They cannot pray their way out of this nonsense, they have to behave better. I 100% agree with ODJ, Black Americans are NOT @$$ kissing, begging, or hoop jumping in order to get anything accomplished that will ultimately benefit the people that are asking you to do all these things. All the way to hell with that bu!! $#!+.
I get you brother, but in the long run either you want it done or do you want it to take 4 more months of bleeding financially until you get things done. I am a AA doing business in Africa as well.
@@evev-cm9qs playing that "kiss my rings" game of corruption and arrogance only hurts the country. In Africa businesses move along if they are "registered" or not. Its the government and the people that miss out on tax revenue which is teacher, soldier, MP, and infrastructure funding. So it's their own loss if I say no to participating in the corruption, my business moves along anyway. Delaying and not doing their job only limits their own salaries🤷🏾♂️.As Black Americans we didnt come here begging for $#!+, only asking for citizenship or the right to abode. I'll be damned if I'm going to beg you to HELP you, especially if I can't even stay in your country freely paying my own way and contributing.
@@Silverbackugx I am African, went to business school in the West. All you are saying is best practice, unfortunately that is something most of our people not exposed to the West struggle with. This idea that you have to pay extra for someone to do their job is ridiculous. On the other hand, citizens should also be willing to do things properly, sometimes citizens themselves do not want to pay the applicable taxes and offer bribes thus undercutting tax revenues needed for infrastructure developments, social services, civil service salaries etc
On the other hand, until the culture changes, you have to deal with reality. I hope you are not advocating for people starting businesses with no proper paperwork. That is a recipe for disaster because if the authorities come down on you, you have no recourse . Lastly there is government and private sector corruption here in the US, except it does not impact service delivery.
@@evev-cm9qs He is not on the ground so he is speaking on best practices which arenot helpful if not being practiced. I am for zero corruption but as things are, you have to deal with reality. His idea that you can run a business without registration etc is counter to the same ethics he is speaking of and an easy way to lose your business if someone gets interested in your business and knows you are running it without papers. You have to be connected to do anything clos to that. The thing is corruption is alive and well in the US, in contracting etc but it does not impact service delivery. No one expects to pay anything extra to access public service. The leaders need to emphasize service delivery.
@@muchit3629 dont speak for me, Ive been living a THRIVING in Africa for the last 2+ years and don't intend to go anywhere. If I wasn't on the ground I wouldn't know what I was talking about. If compromising your morality, integrity, pride, and respectability works for you, then do you. That's just not my bag, and justifying it as part of the culture isn't something I'm personally willing to participate in either. Im retired, so Ive earned my money, I dont have kiss anybody's @$$ in order to eat, and that will be the case with most Black Americans that are relocating. For as much as people would like to stay in the pool of entrepreneurship, when they actually see the $#!+ floating in the pool most with any decency will just get out or refuse to get in. Telling people with their own money that they have to play your BS games will not be received well. Like ODJ said we don't see Africa the same way Africans do. Ain't nobody interested in coming to Africa to participate and win a gold medal in the Backwardness Olympics. Calling Honesty and Transparency "best practices" rather than what you are actually supposed to do speaks a lot to African mentality🤣🤣then they will go to church 4 days a week and Jesus Jesus you to death🙄.
That WhatsApp group is something else lol very dope though
We don't do what we do because it easy.
😊The answer is no. Even knowing the cost and what it cost me in the past in Africa, I wouldn't change my ethical business beliefs of how I was trained to do work within a corporate structure for having no integrity. My own honor system wouldn't allow me to do it then, and I would not do it now. I created a multi million dollars project before, the next one will be ten times bigger, and on my own terms, and without compromise. I could have played ball, did bribes, and other African business bullshit, but why should I have to compromise my creation, where I employ their people/citizens as a way to uplift and give back? Africa is still for Africans, it's not truly user friendly or truly international compliant. ( My corporate training was done with ITT Systems Division and I worked there 10 years after my military career all overseas, until I opened my first company in the Freezone.)
Character transcends association.
There’s a difference between education and behavior..

Big ups to joanita she is so feminine, calm, and classy.
I know she was raised by a feminine mother who had strong values😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oshay speaking for Africans overseas 😂😂😂😂 what?
I mean the diaspora....because I will tell you why. If they favor us, they will just turn on us out of jealousy like what happened in Liberia. We will be set up to fail. We cannot allow that to happen.
Bro doing business everywhere is hard period
OSHA’s I seriously have a problem with your attitude about our continent. Half the time African Americans come here with 5000 dollars and you expect to have a viable business here on the continent. It’s not gonna happen. Africa must now be your salvation and make you a millionaire. It’s not gonna happen. Let’s be serious.
I don't care about your problem with my attitude. You need to have a problem with how corrupt things are and deal with that issue.
Yep hate it in America want to go to Africa but many don’t understand to leave America just to be scammed in Africa when we are looking to connect with our own people would be brutal.
I want to join the whats app group. I can’t find a link though
Want up KENGANDA nation!
Joan is glowing!!!!!!!!!!!
Only thing that will be working in Africa is to be a warlord for people that holding other brother back
You cannot come on a holiday with 3000dollars and then suddenly think Oh my God . I can make it here.see . You just have see the poverty in America ,the total callapse of the cities , joblessness, and utter poverty that our brothers go thru. Suddenly see Africa with your 3000 dollars and and not mostly with skill and expect Africa will suddenly make you a millionaire because of your accent or American passport. Cmon
You said it... Majority come with self-entitlement and egoistic approach.... Nowhere else is easier to do business than Africa....
where my👍🏾at?🤔
Majority of black people lack mentorship
What does that mean? This sounds like a work ethic problem. Work ethic is instilled by one's parents! Direction in life should be given by one's parents.

What is the information on the WhatsApp group
If the arabs,chinese and whites can get around these issues so can AAs assuming they're competent. Enough with the excuses. some people just seek red carpets and think a buisness and and efficient employees workforce are built overnight. Some of these groups bring their standards, training and work ehtic to the table and that's why they're successful.
Why is the voice of the girl in the background so low. I could barely hear what she was saying.
She's a naturally soft-spoken woman.

How many African Americans come with 50 dollars. You just have to look at America. Even America growth is based on printing 30 trillion Dollars ,with nothing to back it up. The poverty is real in America. Yes ,Africa needs connecting with our brothers . But don’t hype up this Diasporan investment as if to they bringing at least 50thousand dollars to invest in a business. Most come with their army pension and hope to make it big here.cmon man. Be real
To get a bank loan for business startups is very easy in the USA and UK. But the African Americans who are coming to Africa are already bankrupted so they cannot get funding in the USA.
I agree with Oshay's rant lol
I realized this in Ghana, they do not have what we call in the West a "sense of urgency" in doing business
...and you know it's really bad when Nigerians get upset and call Ghanaians scammers lol
Stop the 🧢

We are penn state class of '87
Racheal talks like a daughter to a person in Government. I have otherwise linked all the message from other speakers to the real life situation in Africa.
Black Americans need to change their mindset and stop behaving as if Africa should stop to allow them come in. This is a world like any other, competitive and facing similar challenges. Just avoid the mentality of what you have been taught by the whites. I know a kenyan guy who is married to a lady from Utah, USA, they moved to Kenya with their young family 3 years ago. To make it more interesting, they moved to a rural area where they built a mansion and started agribusiness and safari business. Those guys are doing excellent......there are similar examples emerging in kenya. Ask yourself why? They have taken time to understand the business model in the country.... They've stepped out of the white confines of the American perspectives and misconceptions
I'm doing very well here maybe even better than the guy who has a white wife. The way things are ran here in my opinion is wrong in the private sector. Why are you avoiding that? All over Africa these practices are corrupt. Why are you not addressing that?
#OshayDukeJackson wu Odogwu. In Igbo language meaning that Oshay is a great man of Valor
Watching your podcast for a while now and the young lady that you have on your podcast I am trying so hard to understand her. In the middle or the end of her sentences I just don't understand all her words. She start to crumble her words together. She's a very kind mild-mannered young lady but it's the language barrier
It has English subs, just hit the button, I could not .listen to this man he is too loud, why I don't know I don't know how these 2 take the loud conversation
Agaba is saying the silent part out loud. Many Ugandans have always know "certain people" have the plug but I don't think those people would appreciate Agaba saying that out loud 😂 It's like the "silence" among Jewish people about how they move and make money. But I'm glad he acknowledges the privileged advantage BUT the ones in the system WILL NOT APPRECIATE THAT. "Agambanogo" 😏
Its not hard, your in the wrong country
you sound ridiculous. I am just a super hard working and talented individual. I can guarantee you my profits are higher than yours in any african country you have investments in lol.
@ Joanita..."Black don't crack'...you are full of dignity and elegance. I'm not just saying it...I actually mean it! 🖤❤️💛🤍
