Why do young people prefer to move to big cities?
For a vehicle to apply their talents and seek opportunities
For more opportunities
More excitement, more people to meet, and not everybody knows who they are in the big city. More places to work. It's that way everywhere.
These discussions will change the face of the motherland. Keep up the great work.
What's wrong with this immigration officer ? He is an example of the problems we have in Ghana. Very shallow minded. That's why I always say "Not all advice from older people can be accepted because foolish people grow old too."
Foolish people grow old too😂😂😂
The old mentality is still there. Good things are bad for them.
@@pfanomukhodobwane1666 preach. I come from a culture where someone older is automatically deemed right...there's ALOT of dumb older or old people out here. And if you say it, you are ill mannered...abeg please, it is our time, the older generation did theirs, we are grateful, but it's our time to move Africa to a new age.
Great debate, African government must listen, youth must speak up and create platform. Entrepreneurship is also key.
I LOVE your street interviews. They are so balanced, so fair, and so informative to someone who does not live in Africa. Also ... I love watching the faces of those in the background when someone is speaking. Dynamic. Thank you for making these videos. They matter. The discussion matters. The diverse views matter.
Nice discussion. Hard to see this kind of conversation on the national media.
Loved the video...very enlightening.The government should focus on making rural areas better and this might even lead to a decline of informal settlement in the cities while creating more employment opportunities in rural areas.
They seem to follow the urban sprawl method. In fact, if you are Ghanaian can you tell me if the Accra/Greater Accra area is just that. Is it a city that is every expanding and then everywhere else is a connector to the next city? Is that the attempt? In most societies, they go from the cities outward.
THE 77 PERCENT.JOB WELL DONE.THX EDITH N UR TEAM DW,CONGRETS....
We always love to hear such words. Many thanks @Rev Dr: Bento Efrem Teenage. Dont forget to subscribe and tell a friend about our channel :-)
Thanks you
Money is in the City. I have to work, earn it and take care of my people. #TheDreamOfTheBlackChild When I have enough I will buy land in my village
This is the same situation we face in my country The Gambia. After finishing your university you're posted to a place where you can't even get network to make call let alone have other opportunities that people in the urban areas are having. For a teacher in the rural area you'll be posted in a place where you hardly see cars or shop to do other things yet the officials will say the pays are the same while a teacher in the urban area teach in multiple schools and earn quadruple the salary of the rural teacher.. We need decentralised development like the mechanic mentioned..
Same Ghanaian issues, always complaining without taking action. Well done officer! We need to examine our brains 😃😃😃😃😃
This brother has a *good- skill*and there should be *Assistance* for him from the government to help him take on and train #APPRENTICES.💐
Wow!
I Love this topic actually the African government are doing nothing in the ruler area Infarkt they even forget them the only time the government remember rulers area is when it’s time for voting that’s the time they reminds themselves cuz they need their votes. In The Gambia the same thing we fighting for! It’s all over the Africa!
This is depressing! 😭😭
These current and past conditions on the continent would have #MarcusGarvey turning in his grave.💐
For sure uncle
This is the kind of forum that both national and local government officials need to have w the people. How else will you know their grievances if you do not engage them. Its no wonder young people have little faith in them and do not vote.
City get together appoint a discussion bench or table were the whole community can attend as well
Young you want to have parties and fun and more opportunities. I moved from the countryside to Hamburg being 18 years old. Then back to the countryside when being 30 and want my nature and calmness back…
Jawharatu really was on it. I can see her in government doing the good work to make the real changes necessary.
you are interesting girl that I watch in you tub keep it up sister from ethiopia
She's from Kenya.
The government should provide good things in the villages. Small estates, hospitals, workers should provide good jobs and good payment
The commander is correct each one should help each other to build the communities.
I love this.. Please come back to Gambia, we have lot to say.
Seriously bro in The Gambia is worse
16:04 "why leave rural areas where food is cheaper" they just sed there's no services in rural areas like 7x already let's say u buy the cheap food how do u cook it without no electricity then wash ur dishes without no water unless this guy wants us to put a pot on a fire then wash our dishes in the river !!! Like seriously where did they find this guy🤦🏾♂️
Good job interviewer. This problem of rural-urban migration is a common problem in all Arican countries most especially in Cameroon. I for one had a bad experience where I was posted to teach. No roads, electricity & water (Big Nganjo)·❤ from Cameroon.
Edith😍😍😍😍
The fair short guy smoke out what most of africans struggling think. Wow it is so sad. Breaks mw heart
Good, honest, hard-working man. They need to listen to men like him.
The development in South is not necessarily from the government most people in the cities built their own houses and pay to find water for their house hold( ie bolt hole)
For instance my mum and dad built their own house in Kumasi and i don't think government do much for the people of Kumasi
She so beautiful
Awesome discussion. Hopefully the government can modernize to keep up with the demand.
Thought more about it. If the government gave incentives to slow the mirgration it would be a win win. Don't stunt the growth of your young, educated, gifted populations. The rural area can be stabalized and the urban overcrowding can br curtailed. Please look at the migration patterns of blacks after the civil war in America during the Jim Crow era and other countries around the world. Get ahead of the problem. You can't risk loosing an entire generation of people, especially young people.
Safety conditions are, surplus funds yes is their grants available for the community
I grow up in the village it was nice
@John Iwuji. Great to hear that and what made you leave?
Our own brothers and sisters are the same people who are not helping the community the government will give them money for development and they will keep the money for themselves and that is the most important thing
Seems like *accountability* needs to be part of the solution.💐
Sister vs officer,sister is saying something concious than the officer .
People are tired!!!
I hope the government knows what the guy said i will rather go and die if he die is the same death. One day they will much to the castle and the government will see. Start building companies in the village for the people.
Can anyone hear the yallow guy? I we'll go to America, Europe and i will find jobs there no matter what even if i die.
There are no jobs anymore in europe and america. (only if you are high educated in technologie, engineering if your diploma is accepted). There's a lot of unemployment here so don't think jobs here are easy. Already a lot of europeans and immigrants are suffering at the moment.
He went to Libya and worked. He said he'll stay in his area if he gets the power and loans he needs.
The Muslim women make so much sense!
Yes, I like her. She needs to be running that village.
Personally, big cities tend to have more open minded people...
C'mon now let's just be honest now
Amazing points, money can't afford to eat on wages , co-op collaboration enterprise,if taxes are paid the government,shall care for the needs ,simple
Keep coming to America Brothers and sisters
A individual has right to be comfortable what is the name of school elementary school in the community water isn't free anymore platforms excellent, volunteer project are
These people are sad and hopeless...African governments are shoddy and useless..they have abandoned there responsibilities and now youths are sad and tired. Poor government Services are duplicated from Tamare to kumasi in Ghana all the way to Kaduna in Nigeria to Nakuru in Kenya
Jobs
Excitement
What is the capital of the city you all are in . excellent information bill passed ,a start .write letters ,have people to sign list of needs normal people go were thejobs are and pay
The lady is making sense compare to the officer.. government should try to make the rura community l more comfortable so that the migration will reduce
at the risk of getting some backlash, I have to say: all those entities, government, political leaders, those do not work. in the countries where democracy "works" (well, tries to work) their history goes back centuries: heads were chopped off, revolutions took place. world wars! and African societal structures were completely wiped off to give place to their system. we are too young in terms of nations to have such a system work like it does in the western world. we need strong leaders like the sort of Khaddafi (Sarkozy knew it and we all know how that turned out!). those governments are structured to benefit those who put the leaders in place. and those who were against it....well.. what happened to Thomas Sankara? Sekou Touré? Ruben Um Nyobe ? google it.
Is this DUDE in the GREEN UNIFORM mentally SLOW or mentally ILL?!?! -- "if you love your country you will stay" -- No MATTER what the CONDITIONS are????? #MakeItMakeSense
I don't really understand what is wrong with this police officer, he is really corrupt police officer that's why he's defending he's gorvment.
You never made any sense to say he is corrupt and defending the government.He is only sharing his opinion and might be using his perception of being an immigration officer to establish his points.
@@rickb6838 my friend u are stupid how peoples can live in rural areas when they don't have anything to live on ? No hospital, no roads, no market, no electricity, no company's, no college or university, and still he's expecting young generation to go back to the rural area's after completing their education, now tell me how are they going to live on in rural areas?
@@sanneh1755 ,such an idiot you are.Can't you make your point without abusing me? Telling you,that ain't making sense is not an abuse.Anyway stay in your lane.Nitwit
Rick B he’s right 💯
The village is boring
After watching the whole episode it shows that oldman immigration officers he doesn't know anything and he doesn't want to accept reality of what's happening on the ground.
Pls be careful
I support the immigration regional commander... wise talk... when u get money, come back home n invest so other ppl can benefit..
@@linnaowusu4417 you can invest anywhere in the country where you think they're opportunities mann.
This channel is a data collector 🤔
DW presenter is Selling out African.
@Tara Jack Thank you for question? I'm also waiting for him to answer
@@badjiesalifu4534 To me maybe. DW is german and so am I. No, Edith does not sell out anybody. She is good at her job, always collecting opinions and experiences but never judging or argumenting. I have seen her also in Germany.
@@felixlingelbach2758 She's fantastic. Don't understand the "sell out" comment.
