Attitude is everything. At the same time, being consistent is key when it comes to building clientele.
As an African American who has lived abroad, never Africa, but I find customer service from black people, in general, pretty poor. You can't give terrible service and be successful. I'm just saying.
So true, our people struggle with that especially when it’s directed towards other black people the customer service then gets even worse. I think that discipline & self love are the 2 biggest problems that black people generally struggle with in this world. I often find that the younger generation of black people however, tend to be far better at customer service, more educated & energetic about self & self endeavour (work) & that is a sign to me that we are making progress as a people. 🤞🏽✊🏽
Of course most racist people (Caucasians generally) say that black people are just lazy monkeys etc… but that’s what the enemy always does, takes truth & mixes it with falsehood to divide & conquer.
Non Black Troll Alert
It begins in school...
Just look how smart black kids and teens are treated by other blacks... bullying and belittling them galore.
@@JohnDoe-kg6gy look at tribes in Africa they have been killing each other for centuries to be technical all nations fight among themselves
@@yolanda6094
You damn right.
Just in America 98% of blacks have been ki11ed by other b1acks... but they're the victims and they ALWAYS blame somebody else.
We Africans must step up our pursuit of modernity, across the board. This modern world requires precision, respect for time, competition, and cooperation. We can not continue to make excuses for our lack of modernity. We must search out the reasons why we often reject precision, the importance of time, competition, and cooperation. Living is all about modernity.
Tribalism in Africa must be fix first Africa is not unified, so much division
@@yolanda6094 is cooperation, which I mentioned, part of fixing "Tribalism"?
@Jman Hope TRIBALISM has been going on in Africa for thousands of years it has nothing to do with the white man. You can't call a group xenophobic and divisive it's Africans culture. Has nothing to do with corporations
Besides fba ados are not Africans its not our problem it's enough going on here in America. I don't recall a time when it wasn't any African or carribeans fighting for foundation black Americans. Stop selling that pan African hustle dream to fba
This don't forget the importance of the Environment too.
As a Black Brit who's been working remotely in Mombasa, Kenya for over two years, I'd like to give my own take on this.
I think that the frustration many other African American and other Black Diaspora experience once they're here comes largely as a result of two issues:
1) Lack of preparation
More times than not, most of the Black Diaspora who arrive seem to have only performed the bare minimum amount of research on the new country that they've chosen to settle into. Many of us don't understand how travel and immigration works in different African countries, and know very little about the local customs, culture, business environment and economy of our new host nations (doesn't help that a lot of us don't read relatively often).
More than anything though, too many of us lack the skills to find or create decent paying remote work, or pursue local business opportunities. If it's not the skills, then it's the lack of capital. So many are unable to develop a steady livelihood for themselves in Africa.
2) Lack of community and social networks
I personally think that this is the biggest problem plaguing the Black Diaspora, and might be part of the reason why the broader Diaspora and Back to Africa movements are generally nothing more than PR stunts that lack teeth.
There is essentially no real way for Black Diaspora returnees to gather, talk to each other and organize amongst one another. Where's our physical gathering spots and hubs, our social media networks, Discord, Telegram and WhatsApp groups? I would love to get in touch with other returnees and have us build together, but the only way I can reach out to most of them is by contacting them individually via social media platforms like IG, CZcams and Facebook. This is quite inefficient.
Italian criminals on the run in their own country gathered and together built a luxury paradise for themselves in Malindi, Kenya.They run the town, with them building, owning and operating 1000s of different properties and businesses there. Locals speak Italian there. And a lot of this is mostly as a result of their numbers, 3,000 Italians in a town of over 500,000 still represents a critical mass of sorts. I mean, are there even 3,000 African Americans living in the whole of Africa? Point is though, the Italians in Malindi would not have achieved this if there was only 30 of them instead, or 3,000 were far flung and spread thinly across the whole continent.
We lack a clear, bigger purpose, and so we continue to operate in complacency instead of with deliberateness.
Wow! This is right here 👆🏾
Thank you brother!
This expectation of being able to "take over" is why these people are not successfull and piss off the locals. You can't go to someone elses home and act like you are gods gift just because some remote ancestor once lived vaguely nearby. You are not that special.
I like this podcast.& I can relate with everything DJ Maintain said about the driver thing. I also love what Oshey said about creating a platform for the diaspora. Joanita had good points too. I appreciate you guys
This was so refreshing! Thanks so much. Always look forward to your discussions 💪🏿👌🏿👍🏿👏🏿.
👏🏾Big Ups to the pod cast, I'm HAPPY to see Celebrity Junk GONE!! 🎉...The pod casts today are 🔥...relevant, thought provoking, and most importantly..NEEDED in this evolving and diversifying environment. Well Done
This conversation is interesting. I've been here about 25 days and I've been trying to hire a team of creatives. So far, I haven't found anybody. I did try to hire a few but it didn't work out. I'm probably going to have to do things differently, or try a new business.
Where?
@@Kenganda Accra, Ghana.
Kutty Joe I have a good number of project proposals.
I'm an Argentinian civil engineer.
After graduation at uni I went to Guinea Ecuatorial, a former Spanish colony, to apply my skills helping people taking advantage of our common language: Spanish.
It was the most frustrating thing I ever did.
Unpunctuality, low effort, lack of commitment, poor working ethics, leaving everything for tomorrow, carelessness and excuses were the norm.
Except for playing football of course.
After less than one year I was done and deeply depressed.
As we say here:
"No pude bancarmela con estos pibes"
@@JohnDoe-kg6gy It's funny though, Americans have the same opinion of Latinos.
Oh snap. I got a shout out from the Duke him self. Keep up the great work. I am watching.✊🏾🙏🏾
Oshay da man
Nuff respect
Bless up 🙏🙏
Good counsel
Keep dropping the gems.
Watching from the land downunder Sydney NSW
I've heard from some African Americans that is easier to adapt in South Africa 🇿🇦 than a many African countries when they move as they find so much in common between African Americans and South Africans
Rubbish
The reason is South Africa is relatively developed. Americans can't cut it in a third world enivironment, so South Africa is the closest to what they are used to.
Great episode as always guys🙌🏾
Informative and entertaining vlog ODJ👍🏽…
The African Freetrade Agreement has not been even a glimmer of hope for me but hearing the way you verbalize it gives me that glimmer, I'm hoping for the best for this African aspirations but I'm expecting the worst to continue, that's just my way of bracing myself for disappointment.
Things are going to improve as the diaspora and Africa Come closer. I dont know when but its happening
@@Kenganda dude that’s the dumbest reply I’ve ever seen in my life 😂, the diaspora can NOT do anything until those African governments (all 55 countries) abide by the Africa free trade agree !! That’s like going to war with no weapons 🥴🥴🥴
@@javionriley8739 but that is how governments change policies. Even look at liberia, they did not have dual citizenship. Their diaspora changed the laws in that country. Maybe you have not lived in Africa, but even with nollywood....they changed the government's view on the film industry my brother. It just takes some time.
Thank you for this information.
you gotta love @Duke and shout out to all the team
now this is a good discussion. real talk
So true Oshay! You are speaking truth!
Ok great interview guys!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
I used to watch his show. Thanks for the reminder.
Americans come to South Africa and say "This is too westernized" but then go into Africa and cry that its not. Pick a lane and run it. You won't have half the problems you deal with in Africa in South Africa, Mauritius, Botswana or Seychelles. So stop bunching African countries together. Its actually offensive. We're not some homogenous group like with Americans. There are different cultures and countries. We don;t act the same or talk the same or behave the same.
Sound like u just made tht shit up. Africans do exact same thing, y’all complain about SA being “too western” “xenophobic” but can’t stop moving there 🤷🏽♂️
One problem I found with African American, they are still westerners and believe they have all the answers. And everyone should just shutup and follow
I am so annoyed with how Africa does business. I had the same mindset to twist these inefficiencies to my advantage. Good western ideas are needed in order to evolve the culture and compete against world powers. If Africa fails to do so, she will be engulfed by China, America, France, and other colonizers. Also the conflicts of these major powers will be fought on African soil due to the inefficiency of Africa to fight back. The African attitudes are too complacent.
@Prince18 you must not know what's going on in the world. Mali has the French and Russians operating within their borders. The DRC has a conflict going on, and foreign mercenaries have been called in. China is planning on expanding military bases in a few of the 14 African countries it has a foothold in. US will also plan to expand its Africom allocations in response to China. Isis affiliated groups are gaining more footholds and breeding grounds.
The stage is being set in Africa, and people are too blind to see.
But you guys need to make up your minds....you come to South Africa and say "This place is too Westernized" then you go into Africa and complain that its not. Pick and lane and run it.
There's a bigger likelihood of America and Europe getting nuked over this NATO vs Russia situation than of Africa being colonized again. France is on the run as we speak.
African-Americans should not settle for less.We are in the modern technology age and Africa is to slow,Of the 27 poorest nations in the world ,24 of them are in Africa.African nations are not on the list of nations that produce their own bran of jeans,shoes,smart phones or I phones.The young people needs more manufacturing to be done in Africa.What was left out of the conversation is that most of the world have what the African Americans were frustrated about.
@@Gemini3K ,i agree.
As much as I was addicted to watching your celebrity junk channel.I am more intellectually Stimulated and can justify watching so much CZcams now lol .
Haha thanks!
I concur & wating all the way from the beautiful caribbean islands 🏝 🍹🍺🍸🍰😊
"watching" typo 😂
Joanita is very articulate and has a great attitude; great representative of Uganda.
I see you brotha maintain with the fly silk-like joint
Sheeesh cmon 👊🏾

Glad you're in Jampala
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Create a Kenganda podcast school to train in the same systems that you found gaps . Editors ,Videographers, photographers ,front end back end ,presenters etc. Your guest can also do the same but for a DJ school . Can start with east Africa and spread to the continent and diaspora market both online and in-person cohort training . Then you can hire the best from your school both in the continent and diaspora . Black Brazil , Canada , Rwanda, UK and Arizona might have talent too .
Lol with what money bro? That costs cash 🤣
this was an interesting video
I have been here for two years and I see a lot of the same things
Africa is not easy
Coming home to Africa visit several times, west Africa is easy to optain nationality especially Sierra Leone or English speaking west African countries, try to buy a land 4000 dollar u will have a nice land in Gambia or senegal where people are settled with all the needful things u need in a community , try to build it then u can make it. Without your own compound its going to be in a bit of struggle. From there u can see how to get your income. Rent free is the way to make it in Africa and less struggle
If you do not get scam😢
Thumbnail got me lol
I know someone in commodities in Africa. Well its an international commodity company he founded.The corruption and bureaucracy is a headache but its worth it since he made millions. I would like to invest in Africa and buy land. I plan on doing that in more countries around the world and just rotate living in different countries instead of just living in one.
In light of the current corrupt election process in Nigeria; many Nigerians abroad are currently tearing up their passports and say because Nigeria failed state they will never go back to Nigeria. Many others say the will be leaving Nigeria. So who will be left to "fix" Nigeria, if not these peoples?
Wow for real? With all the problems that we have in my country i cant see myself anywhere but here or in africa. I could never tear my national passport. But i tend to see nigerians in the west not having love for their country
@@africaine4889 is not true,we love our country no matter what,infact all african leaders are corrupt .
What a lie,all african Leaders are corrupt,not just Nigeria only,i love my country no place like home.
I think full education should be dished out to black Americans to let them adapt to African lifestyle.
Y’all should educate yourselves on how to built that shit hole up instead of fleeing.
❤
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I'd come to the Motherland, somewhere where I feel inspired to go. I have an issue in the way Ghana is being marketed, thoe. I'd find somewhere else.
I'm thinking twice about touring Africa (16 countries) after finding out VISA fee's, advanced planning, etc. Asia or Middle East tour might be a better choice.
The Thumbnail Tho 😂😅😂
Indeed Africa is so freaking frustrating....like uhhhhhh😫😤🤯🤪
It’s equally frustrating here in America too!
O'Shay's therapy sessions
I have asked if Joanita is single, but yall not answering me
Because being raised they/we know nothing of the masculine creative fortitude....
Great show Guys & Gal. Here is what i got from it. Aftica is difficult country for business but well worth it in the end.
I totally agree. Haaaa, I ran into a few pity fall by being scam and Used by a few african in africa but like you said, I don't let that discourage me from my purpose to create African Virtual Assistant jobs for trade Professional in western society
There are many Solopreneur business in western country who looking to become a Micro business and higher but can't afford full time staff.
Far as African economy taking over the globe in a few decade, Ypu are absolutely right because my research with Economists state that the Continent of Africa is predicted to be bigger than any in other countries in the world in 20 to 50 years
So my people learn your French and English well because on most part those are two European language are used by majority of South Sahara African government and business no matter what other native African language is spoken in these countries
Africa isn’t a country, Jesus Christ
“African economy taking over the globe”? You are delusional.
I see you can't read Ol Boy, Instead of criticizing, Ol Boy. Enjoy what I am saying in a whole

This just a question; I don’t anything about Uganda; do Ugandans scam each other or do repaats are the main targets? Again I don’t know I’m just asking for knowledge.
We are experiencing GROWING PAINS and a need for proper positive customer service, (assertive NOT aggressive) and family bonding education is necessary.
Also awareness of WHO we REALLY are.
Self-directed RESEARCH might be necessary.

New house.... new rules.
Lol
They are not forced to stay in Africa.
9:24 "We still don't want to go back home". You guys are totally confused! Where is home? You are at home now! This is where you came from. You went there in order to "return home". Now you are talking about the USA/Europe as "home". Which one is it? I do however sympathise with your dilemma. Stick with it. Your children and childrens' children will be right at home in Africa.

If you want to make it in Africa you have to adapt Africalife style, understanding people bse here in Africa we don't live of busylife, serious life, if you want to set up a business first do research and stop amalala
😁
Oshay made a really great point. African Americans are groomed to work and consume, not groomed to owned and train talent.
I think the ones that come to Africa are business minded though. Not employee types. We came here owning businesses and looking to hire talent. What we didn't really understand is the culture that we would find here. As much as I read about it, it wasn't enough to really know. I needed to experience it to really understand.
@KuttyJoe where are you located?
@@Kenganda Accra. I was here last year for a month. I just got back on March 2. Trying to get settled in.

Please Nigerians didn't invite any African American to come and live in Nigerians, the Nigerians don't do that, so if other Africans are inviting African American then it is not Nigerians business to do so, and if any African American citizens who wants to come to Nigeria either him, her they're welcome.
Oshawa Jackson, you look Nigerian, none fba
we is African-American need to know that this is our land and we need to be in pursuit of it no matter what because the world is in pursuit of it because they know it's the richest most powerful resourceful and largest place on the planet God gave it to us it would be an absolute value equation of the kindness of God for us to not fight for what he gave usit is a direct violation of the goodness and the glory of God that he has placed on black people's lives if we don't go after what he created and gave us and let he'll come in and take it from us like they done in the past it is an insult to our existence and the eternal existence and power of the god thatmade us created Africa and put the resources in there that is greater than anywhere else in the world it's an absolute insult and violation of our being and his eternal existence and godhead power for us to make excuses not to go see these are laying when everybody else in the world is after it because they recognize the value of
Burna Boy , is suggesting "Trading Places" with Nigerians 🤣. However, way more Nigerians will come to America and never return to Nigeria, as opposed to Black American emigrating to Nigeria and never returning to America. A very uneven trade.
Burna Boy was just promoting unity people just love to take everything out of context !
@@azitsallgood2514 Stop babbling, he needs to promote unity in Africa an unify all countries and then try to talk to my people!
@@wisdommasterreviews4712 why are you angry?😂
Burner Boy's delusional and he's going about Unity the wrong way. You have more than 200 million black people in the Western Hemisphere.
He needs to focus on fixing Nigeria
Not on Blk America we're capable of doing for self.
I dunno with all the natural resources especially oil, lithium, cobalt, gold. Yeah sure let's do it. Like Jay Z sais less is more
To be honest their frustration is shallow. Everything they complained about was based on material things, shows how limited and low their perspectives are. Basically they want to be able to have fast food service and grocery stores lol, go back to America then
You can blame them. The West was built on a materialistic culture. It is were they come from.
Material things? You mean like working and making money?
@@knowz2367 Are you saying that Africans don't need material things? I mean, I'm in Ghana and it looks to me like people need material things.
@@KuttyJoe of course that african want materialistic too. I know i would complain if i eent to the US
Where are y’all living in America that things are so bad that you feel the need to move to a Third World country where things seem to be worse
Joanita looks like she has great foot game.....shout out to her for that 👍
Nice discussion. However, we are not 'a black race.' Say what you mean better please. Black is your appearance compared to Indo-Europeans (whites). Say African people, etc.
Foundational Black Americans who flee are usually the weakest link.
🤣🤣🤣 smh
Most are not even Foundational they are just born in America, but have a different Linage, an the FBAS that do are a part of those Israelite camps that are lost the sauce!
Foundational blk relocate they don't flee plus we build things and become apart of the Country.
Like Central America you have many Blk Expats there in blk communities doing business and working with the brothers & sisters there.
We don't go there assuming we're better than another Blk people.
Thats a very interesting take. If only you knew how many people are leaving. How many celebs, business men etc are relocating. Our people traveled the world and did business all over the world before the other races. Now its happening again. All other cultures build communities, trade and create businesses all over the world. African americans are finally waking up again.
@@tyronejamar3597 almost no one is leaving. We built America, we’re not fleeing it.
WHEN YOU GET TO AFRICA YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY "W-O-R-K"!!! THATS THE PROBLEM FOR MOST "!?AFRICAN!?"AMERIKKKAN$!!! CANT LET GO OF WHYTE AMERIKKKA'$ CORPORATE CULTURE!!!
If black Africans are W-O-R-K-I-N-G so hard where is the evidence of their efforts? lol
That’s a ridiculous statement.
