- To answer this question I spoke with three friends who all happen to be CZcamsrs as well. @TrueVonne , @NiiYemoh and @LydiaEsenam who each shared their journey and reason to leave Ghana. Please check out their vidoes as well. all are amazing content creators.
And let me know in the comments what do you think of the whole moving crisis in Ghana? do you agree it's a crisis? are you also thinking about leaving Ghana? if so, what is your reason ? If not, what motivates you to stay?

I'm not leaving Ghana anytime soon, I would only leave for visits.
I am a Ghanaian who hasn't lived in Ghana but I'm board with life in UK and planning to go and experience living in Ghana. Those leaving will soon discover, there's no place like home.
Good for you. All the best
@@Anaieta AND MOST OF THE YOUTH BACK HOME HAS AN IDLE MIND, TO ME LEAVING TO ANOTHER COUNTRY HELPS , ITS OPENS OUR MIND TO UNDERSTAND A CERTAIN THINGS,
The reason why we travel abroad is to werk and make good money and be able to build a house and take care of the family
Remember Ghanaians abroad remit every year almost 6 billion Dollars to sustain family otherwise things will fall apart
More people are returning in droves to Ghana as never before. Your caption is so deceptive “everyone” many people move abroad from Ghana but not everyone. I know many Ghanaians who don’t want to leave. It is okay if people want to travel no problem
I love this 😍
awesome video keep it up
Oga your caption is not correct. Smart Africans are in Ghana making millions. People should upskill and learn new things as the world is dynamic. We should stop peddling falsehood. Human beings would always move because we are relational in nature.
I agree with the last part that we humans always move. But I don’t believe making it in Ghana has anything to do with the smartness. It’s mainly about the opportunities and privileges of knowledgeable that some have that is enabling them to make good money
@@Anaietayour mad, and Ghanaians are hungry with you about this stupid video, becareful o.k., l send all your photos and this video to Ghana immigration service, and national security agency, you will hear from them later
PLEASE CAN YOU ALSO DO A VIDEO OF THE PEOPLE STAYING IN GHANA AND LOVING IT LIKE YOURSELF ANAHITA?😊😊😊
I have a whole series of 23 episodes dedicated to that
@@Anaietamadam stop that nonsense and fooling o.k., if you can't stay in Ghana move, don't come and disgrace and destroy our home land for us o.k., rubbish
I am in the US and I plan to move to Ghana within two years or earlier...as more of us in the diaspora return home and invest, Ghana will benefit and job opportunities will increase. Ghana is beautiful and it is improving at a very fast rate. My brother and sisters, .....invest in Africa before the opportunities are gone.
If you want to drink GALAMSEY water and face off with land guards, you are free to do so.
@@benbo7042 😂I have land in Ghana and I have yet to see land guards, and as for the water...I believe bore hole water, or rain harvested water is the best.
@@Uncle-Basil You are so uninformed. Do you think that the poisoned water is only on the surface? It goes deep underground and stays for generations. The food you eat is affected because the plants take in water from the soil and when the soil is contaminated, the food becomes contaminated. Land guards don't show up until the ,moment you start working on the land . That is when they appear and threaten if you don't pay them the money they demand from you.
We have been there and done that, good luck to all of you, taxes and rent will eat a chunk of your money.
It reminded me of my own country and story. How similar! Thank you dear Anahita.
Thanks for watching. Ghana constantly reminds me of Iran
True Vonne’s answers are funny but I appreciate the honesty
So the universal set of these 3 wonderful people is JOB!JOB!JOB!.
Anahita. I don't know what you were going through but we missed you. Stay blessed.
Anahita thank you for this interview. It was a pleasure shooting with you. I’m glad I could share my story with your audience and let me add this to the ignorant ones in the comments. I’m not living my life on your expectations. I will go where I want to go and if that bothers you too much take a nap. You will good when you wake up 😂
Thank you Yvonne. Well said. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Well said sis. I support your decision 💯 Don't mind these low thinkers🤣🤣
@@benbo7042maybe you are the one with a low mindset! You have a choice to travel the world over and stay wherever, but them that agree with certainly don’t have low minds. Mind your words.
If u see a Ghanaian to move out of Ghana is to make more money simple.
It was an honor having this interview with you. I hope your audience derive a lot of encouragement to pursue their goals. Cheers
uk does not pay well
@@albertwillson5408 I am not in the UK tho. But I guess it’s much better than Ghana
Thank you Lydia. It was great talking to you
@@albertwillson5408 Far better than that BANANA REPUBLIC called Ghana.
I am leaving the U.K., came through my parents from Ghana, after over 30 years here. I am one of multitudes returning. I guess after one has experienced life in the west, one sees the value of their worth which life in the west does not allow and there is a longing by most for change
I often hear complaints about the problems or challenges Ghanaian face are as a result of bad leadership, my question I have for those people is, who chose those leaders? The expression you make your bed, you lay in it comes to mind. I think the biggest problem Ghana faces is ignorance.a lot of People don't even know they're part of the problem. Paying bribes has become so normalized to the point where everyone has to be brided just to do the job they're being paid to do. All the corrupt people taking bribes just to do their jobs are not all politicians, the whole society is so corrupted, from pastors taking money from poor people to live lavishly, to the police officer taking money from innocent people as well as people who are breaking the law, and letting them get away with it. It's about time everyone takes a good look in the mirror and see how they're contributing to the problems they're complaining about.
What I think is that Ghana is expensive. All they need to do is attract foreign capital by easing prices this will decrease the standard of living which will attract the people back.
Housing is so expensive I saw. They need to study Rwanda.
We wish those people you interviewed all the best in wherever they are and we welcome those coming here to do something meaningful here with an open arms, you run to someone’s country who went through tougher times to build what their citizens wanted for them without them running away and you sit there and say blah blah. The same Ghana you’re thrashing gave you the stepping stone to get to wherever you’re today. The citizens of those countries they are now are also leaving to other countries saying those countries are better for them so traveling from your country to other countries is no news
I have worked 7 years as a Telecom Maintenance engineer in Ghana, I earn less than 300usd/month. When will i have enough to take care of my future wife and children? How can I afford to pay for my Msc. education. Should I become a scammer(sakawa) like my mates? My compatriots in Europe,West can afford to to further their education and afford travel every year for vacation. Real questions. GHANA IS FUCKED for her citizens! You Ashantis are not correct. Who travels more than your tribe? Do you know how young people survive in Ghana?
"Running away"? Stop showing ur ignorance and read a bit of history. There is no country where people didn't move when things got tough. White people also left Europe in droves when Europe was poor and in a bad condition. They moved to the America's, Australia, Africa etc. The resources they plundered was what was used to rebuild europe. Chinese did the same thing in the 50's and 60's. Indians too. Lebanese too. Same way africans are moving abroad in a very bad time for africa and sending billions of dollars down to you. Ask ur finance minister if diaspora Ghanaians sweating to work abroad hadn't sent the billions of usd in remittances last year to bolster the weak economy, wether Ghana's economy wouldn't have totally collapsed. Yet u jxt get up and start talking crap about diasporians working to support their families back home in Ghana as if they are lazy and not helping the country.
Don’t take it personal, it’s the truth. You see how it feels, when it is done to other African countries? What makes your small country different? When people go online and talk trash about other African countries, that’s how is. Ghana is not immune, but in this case, they are telling the truth.
Kwame, please remember the builders of those developed countries didn't build by staying in their country. They travelled and invaded other countries. It's ok for Africans to travel, we just need to have the mindset of coming back with stolen ideas and substance to develop our country.
And where is the trash we said? Point it out here. Do you know what I have done for my country? More than you could. Do you now how many people have come to Ghana because of me. Don’t sit in that your room to say what you don’t know.
I'm a Ghanaian in Canada and I agree with them. I would never have left, but leadership is such a failure. I think what made me give up and move a year ago was looking at the leaders and their greed. I don't think Ghana has a future under this quality of leaders and living there with no capital would waste my youthful years. who knows, maybe when I am older and have strong capital of my own I may move back and live there. Nice video though
You guys are mentally weak when the situation is hot they run to someone's country. Ghana needs strong mental endurance people. My Asian citizens are coming to take over and develop ghana.
Do not come back to complain. Respect to Ghanaians who stay and build
I totally agree with you.
@@Kenetto1 If you think they are mentally weak then you are psychologically imbalanced.
That's such a silly take. As if the asians coming to Ghana are not migrants themselves who also left their home countries. People find opportunities in different countries far from where they are born. Ghanaians are also free to go wherever life presents us with opportunity. If all ghanian diasporians should stop sending remittances and decide to come back now, the Ghanaian economy would collapse. Remittances contribute more to Ghana's gdp than gold and cocoa combined. It's more than the 3b IMF is giving u. Read about what caused the rawlings chain era and other things before critisizing other Ghanaians.
Who value you in Canada? Your a slave under white man country, Ghana dont have future what did your father do in Ghana to help Ghanaians, and you too, shame on you
A choice, people are moving in as well
So you mean when you were leaving Ghana was empty?
I’m still in Ghana and not intending to leave. Chill!
@@Anaietabut we want you to leave, we don't want you in Ghana, your overstayed, move to your country now, don't come and destroy our peaceful country for us o.k.
Make more video like this
Just 4 friends left the country and its "everybody leaving Ghana" 😂
They were 3 not 4!
Provide jobs they will still collapse. No government is providing jobs where you are, individuals do.
Try talking to Ghanaians outside and see how many businesses people have collapsed back there. We all need to change our minds, or else we will complain till thy kingdom come.
Give them a year or two and interview them again.
Hmm, the country Ghana needs a reset button to start all over again..post-independence. The 'education' system we inherited should have had an overhaul towards establishing the building blocks of a country that should be able to stand on its own feet.
Travel and see! Lived in the UK all my life and I'm preparing to go back to Ghana.
@@sweetbadd9852 to do what here? To burn the little cash you have made? You're welcome
@@eever6545 You shouldn't be saying that as you don't know my circumstances. Sorry, if Ghana isn't working for you.
@@sweetbadd9852 I'm just cautioning you. Don't think the pound gives you enough exchange rate advantage. Ghana is damn expensive! I'm being honest with you
Every one is not leaving Ghana some people are leaving Ghana because of their personal reasons.
Everyone is not leaving Ghana but i do agree jobs are hard to come by for citizens of ghana. If you are moving to ghana you must have a business or source of income already from abroad to live comfortably.
Human beings have always been moving. The early humans moved out of Africa. Today the United Nations recognize the right of movement. When someone moves from the West to Africa, people say he likes to travel and learn about people. When someone travels from Africa to the West, some people he is going to the West for greener pastures or money. There are many Ghanaians living outside Ghana, and many go to join their families overseas. There are many Ghanaians who come home frequently. There are some Ghanaians who actually go for greener pastures. When one travels outside her or his country, it doesn't mean her or his country is bad. Please don't fall victim to Negativity Bias or Negativity Dominance.
I think that’s how your interpreted it. No one said Ghana is “bad”! There should be resources available to youth for them not to move outside the country and currently the resources are not enough for everybody. This rather has to motivate you to see what could have been done for Ghana. But “you” decided to see negativity in it.
Damn. 11 minutes in, what she said is sad and a shame that life can end up like that. Corrupt gov'ts are a real problem.
Human beings would move when their plans are not working. Those succeeding on the continent are resilient and tough. The white on the continent are deliberate about their goals, a lot of them end up building wealth for themselves.
Yes, but to add on to that, many foreigners come with opportunities or privileges that are not available to everyone in Ghana. It’s difficult to make that comparison but I agree with the reason you mentioned about people moving out
@@AnaietaAre you trying to say that four of your friends are "everyone?"
@@sweetbadd9852 yes. Ghana has like 5 people inside. One is me and the other 4 have left! 😫 are you for real?
@@AnaietaWooow!! You are so rude and you know that you're talking nonsense. Maybe you should follow your friends.
Ghana is now a GALAMSEY REPUBLIC. No hope for the youth. No clean drinking water for them either.
Who is everyone?
Everyone!
@@Anaieta That's a LIE, and you know it. Does this "everybody" include you? SMH.
Very soon there will be no one left in the country. Only the old people who ruined it for us will be left here
They will come back! No beautiful place like Ghana 🇬🇭the home of the “BkackStar”! Sure Ghana is going through challenges but we will fix it. You will miss the beaches of Accra, Keta, Cape C, Ada etc..! Farewell friends but don’t skip December events in Ghana. Very important, the worlds party place! Those going to UK will regret it, very high cost of living since the they left the EU. About £300 per month on electricity and gas alone! A friend told me. They are weeping and wished they didn’t do Brexit!
Facts. Hamster in a wheel lifestyle. I’ve lived in the UK for almost 20 years and I think Ghana is better. In the Uk, they live on credit and this is because the average individual do not have enough disposable income to acquire most things after paying their bills. Accomodation- if it’s not rent then it’s credit, Personal vehicle-credit, mobile phones, home appliances-credit, furnitures-credit and even clothing- credit. This is a country where 72% of the population do not even have £1000 in their savings. Meanwhile, in Ghana people actually own things.
@@derrickjunior1325
Thanks for the backup!
Ghana is well located, with beautiful, understanding, peaceful and welcoming people. While other nationals are coming in to take advantage of the nature of Ghana 🇬🇭, some Ghanaians who can’t cope or compete are leaving. But Ghana had enough for everyone, just don’t depend on government..! Get something to do not necessarily in Accra which has become a world city and costs higher. Those leaving will miss it..!
How can you compare your money other COUNTRY currency..The mental slavery
You are not ok. Go and tell that to the so called leaders
Crap! Who is "everyone"? You must be out of your mind! In any case, Ghana is not North Korea or Cuba where you need permission to leave the country. In a democracy like Ghana, you're free to leave or stay. It's a personal decision. Make yours!
Ghana is niw a BANANA REPUBLIC. Graduates can't get jobs if they dont know any ' big man ' in the government. Those who get jobs are offered salaries of less than 1000 Cedis a month . They have to pay house rent of 1 or 2 yrs in advance. How do they manage? This is why they travel.
What has Ghana and Ghanaians done to you? Ghana this Ghana that. Take it easy. We are all one.
@@geoffreyosuji6166 Ghanaians don't like facing the truth. They pretend as if everything is well in Ghana but the truth is that majority are suffering.
There is a country on this planet which it citizens don't travel or migrant to other countries? Question ❓
Ghanaians travel due to poverty and oppression. Lack of opportunities and wicked politicians.
Go to Saudi Arabia,UAE and tell them that BS
No country on the planet the citizens don't travel or migrant to other countries
Did you even watch the video or you saw the title and decided to write something annoying?
@@Anaieta why did you write the title to decived the public for your personal game?
People like you act base on emotions and when it backfires you come out with BS questions.
Ondiro Oganga is also leaving 🤣. Dont know if you know her but at least you got Kwame and Ileen back
I won’t let Kwame and Ileen leave 😅

People in the west are living the Hamster in a wheel lifestyle. I’ve lived in the UK for almost 20 years and I don’t think is worth the hype. In the Uk, they live on credit and this is because the average individual do not have enough disposable income to acquire most things after paying their bills. Accomodation- if it’s not rent then it’s credit, Personal vehicle-credit, mobile phones, home appliances-credit, furnitures-credit and even clothing- credit. U might have a mortgage but don’t even own the land so your house can be demolished by the government.This is a country where 72% of the population do not even have £1000 in their savings. They are living from Pay cheque to pay cheque. Doctors, nurses, teachers etc are over worked and underpaid. Work to life balance is pretty much non existent. You work just to pay bills(every one but yourself). Meanwhile, in Ghana people actually own things.
Well said. But migration is a choice😊
Yall came here with $1000 USD and a dream. Better have a steady WESTERN flow of money, or else 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
A bs question. Ghanaians have always travelled over the decades, its in the Ghanaian DNA. What about asking Why everyone is returning to Ghana? There are loads of diasporans returning to Ghana now but we can choose to focus on negativity rather knowing people come and go.
Oh senior, how's this "a BS question"? How's this focus on negativity? All the people she interviewed are people within her circles. So as a CZcamsr and a foreigner living in Ghana, that's what's she's noticed. You could have educated her on the fact that Ghanaians have been migrating for a long time and it's a part of us. Sometimes some of this aggressive comments are really unnecessary. Do better.
Why don't you put your point across without being aggressive? That is a very valid question. We always have to look at topics from different point of views. That's what critical thinkers do.
I have worked 7 years as a Telecom Maintenance engineer in Ghana, I earn less than 300usd/month. When will i have enough to take care of my future wife and children? How can I afford to pay for my Msc. education. Should I become a scammer(sakawa) like my mates?

Ghanaians do not travel because it is in their DNA . Ghanaians travel outside Ghana to seek greener pastures. There are no opportunities in Ghana for millions and millions of the youth.
@@fremekwame It is poverty and lack of opportunities that make Ghanaians travel to seek greener pastures.
The 32million ghanaians are still there so if u are leaving good bye. Come next time with good mind and good ideas
Did you have a nap today?
Who cares. Who is paying these people?
Each to their own.
@@TrueVonne Good question. She is one those are the cause of the problems in Ghana today.
Bush girl. You surname tells it all.
You will continue to eat contaminated food from the GALAMSEY which is destroying your water bodies and forests. You will keep seeing untreatable diseases like ones appearing in the Ashanti region.
Im not leaving Ghana for anything.
I wish to live in Ghana it’s peaceful and no crime like states and none of this transgender BS daily you have to hear about. I just have to save and start a business in Ghana and then I am coming glad to get out of the USA.
Ghanaians are peaceful people in general but that doesn’t mean crime doesn’t happen! LQBTG community face a lot of issues but that doesn’t mean they’re not in Ghana. Please get your facts right before moving.
@@Anaieta I do have my facts straight. I have lived in Ghana before and all I was stating is from my experience I would prefer living in Ghana because the issues in the states are too much and I could have a more peaceful life in Ghana. I still know every place has their issues.
Who and who are leaving ghana. ??😂😂
No one is leaving
Did I interview ghosts?

YOUR CAPTION IS FALSE AND MISLEADING. And you know it, because you calculated this deceptive clickbait for views. This is very dishonest of you, as NOT everyone is leaving Ghana at all. In fact, over the past few years, inward migration has far outstripped outward migration. Who, exactly, is the "everybody" leaving Ghana you're referring to? The three people in your video? Really? And does that include you also? Is that a representative sample? Tell me, is "everyone" leaving the US, Britain, or China? This devious mischief deliberately tarnishing the image of African countries must stop. Why don't you make a video about the millions (including yourself) who have fled Iran? SMH.
Do you understand the “term of speech” or just decided to cyber bully people? I literally started the video with why I left Iran😂 and yet you have something to say!
What is always interesting to me is how irritated people like you can get when someone talks about issue in Ghana! You wish no one ever talks about problems and just say beautiful things about Ghana . Grow up!
@@AnaietaGhana immigration service and national security agency will deport you now, you think you can do this useless video and go score free o.k., your getting mad
@ conguror 77 .Those leaving Ghana wouldn't know what real freedom is like, till they go to Anahitas country IRAN. Where women have no rights. Can go to jail for singing or dancing in public. Get shot for refusing to wear a headscarf. God bless Ghana 🇬🇭

Another video of sensationalism, i guess it gets clicks. There are literally videos of people also moving to Ghana for the first time. Do we get a video of "Why everyone is moving to Ghana?" I love your content but please don't be a clickbait like many does. People move in and out of Ghana just like any other country. I personally know a couple moving to Ghana this year. I guess misery love company
BTW those 3 will come back i can guarantee it and i hope they contact you after. You don't know you miss Ghana until you leave.
It’s not a clickbait. It’s literally the question I asked in the video and what led me to making this video.
There are a million videos online about people moving to Ghana. I myself had a whole 23 episodes of a series about people moving to Ghana.
If we don’t ask questions we never think of answers. I don’t find anything wrong in asking an obvious question.

Like I have been saying, Ghana is a small country with little resources. The economy is in shambles, and their people are suffering. All this Ghana hype is because people go there to check out the slave trade route. All the Ghana hype is false, there is no opportunity there, and money is scarce. People bought into the Ghana hype, and are now realizing their mistake. The only positive thing there is may be its a little bit peaceful. That’s it.
@sean take your negativity away from us and let it stay in your own country.We have enough resources,our economy is doing well and striving to be better. We are proud and contented of who we are as Ghanaians.
You must be very delusional. Joke. Ghana has little resources?Abject illiteracy.
