- Dreams; what is the size of yours? Big enough to purchase a gulfstream Jetliner? The African continent is rising with lots of young people thinking through solutions to problems the continent faced with. There is the need for a change in mindset of the African towards solving societal problems. It is possible to get Africa up. How to do it? Build capacity, gather resources, start with the little you have and strive for excellence.

He sounds like Ghana's future president in the making.... Great inspiration! Thanks..
He's actually currently a minister
He is very eloquent and inspirational
it's possible my people! Afrika will rise again! Be solution-oriented
Kojo Opong Nkrumah will surely become a President of Ghana one day.
I can't stop listening to you. My daily inspirator
Great presentation my mentor, imitating you have really paved a way for us within our peers, indeed a President in the making, no doubt. I'm edified Kojo.
Love you❤✌🇬🇭
We want guys like this to lead Africa, not the corrupted undeserving folks who rob their countries to the bones. Preach my brother Kojo.
This comment didn’t age well. He is the face and voice of those folks you describe. Capax imperii nisi imperasset
As Nigeria has become the largest economy in Africa, I'm not surprised they are well represented in the examples. Africans and Ghanaians most specifically should learn from them and remember it is the small things that make the biggest impacts.
Sandrine Tachie-Menson if you learn from Nigeria you'll be doomed. better learn from yourselves. Nigeria has made over 40 million people slave in their own land. see biafra.
Don't learn anything from Nigeria else u gonna be doomed. Do what is right for your country to succeed.
Ghanaians are learning from Japan

Thank you very much Mr Kojo. I think this talk has done a lot to change my mindset about the need for great capital to start up my environmental solutions services company in Nigeria.
I totally agree with Opong Nkurumah. We need to invite him to mentor Kenyan Entrepreneurs.
I love you Kojo Oppong Nkrumah❤
GOOD GOOD one there. Making Africa and GHANA proud.
Thanks, Senior. I've been edified.
Here I am in 2021, and trust me this speech is more than relevant and inspiring.
Wonderful. I dream of a day that I will also have opportunity to tell my story and the small charity am doing. I know that day will come.
Kojo is really an inspiration.

Well presented lecture,but Nigerians deserve some respect from you kojo.
its begins with the brain
Nigerians are very confident. They have been active in many areas though some cunning too.
He’s Ghanaian tho.
Nigeria should be the capital of the continent, yet a very corrupted country, with all the grace and blessing, just travelled to some cities in Europe, Nigerian women are stripped the streets selling their temples, meanwhile their men are mostly pushers, feeling the prisons, last five years, they'd actually begging in the streets, stationing at supermarkets entrances begging,crying while Africa needs it youth..wasting in certain part of Europe.
#itspossible
USA numba one! Africa should help U.S. succeed!
At 32 and you looks 47 then? 🤷🏾♂️😳😳
@Afrika... That's rude... He really looks older, and he's too pricy of himself...
He is a good communicator,
But he lie about his age
