Wow glad there was a part 3. Her next business move should be as a consultant as how to not be scammed. Good for you standing up for your rights.
Great suggestion
Thank you
I'm sure she needs to rest and recover, rather than get involved in this type of business again. She's been through too much for too long. These people ruined her move to Ghana and it affected her health. Other people can watch the videos to learn.
I agree with your by helping others, could help her recovery emormously. She is a strong woman
I'm super proud of her, as a Jamaican. We do stand up for ourselves
As...a Jamaican I feel her pain im so glad she got back her money
Don't hand over money until the title is in hand, period...that is what I have learned from this story and my own situation buying land through family. Promises are just that, but a real transaction should be with immediate results. Sorry this nice lady went through this but I am glad she found a way to make them listen and got her money back!
I TRULY APPRECIATE HER SHARING SO HONESTLY! I'M ALSO HAPPY THAT SHE NOT GIVING UP ON GHANA! STRONG SISTER!❤
Wow. What a journey. Glad it ended in your favour despite the bitter victory. Thanks for sharing your story so Gracefully. Best wishes with a smoother transaction on the new acquisition. 🙏🏾
Thanks for all your comments
"These people are playing. Let's start ,now, playing my way. Let me direct the play".
I love this woman's shrewdness and discernment! A strong message to anyone. Thank you, thank you and thank you, Akua !
Thanks for watching
I love her strength and commitment! May god continue to give her the strength to be compensated fully!
Thank you
Courage and tenacity@🙏🏾
Thanks for this update; I've been thinking of her since the last interview and I'm so glad for the positive turn of events. Shame on Rehoboth Properties and all the shady persons involved! People deserve better than this!
Thanks for watching the entire series
Akua RehobothKiller! Thank you for sharing your story and I pray your Ghana dream isn’t shattered because of this experience. You are a winner in my eyes.
Yeah. She took on the system and she won!
Greetings Sis from England. I listened to your earlier story and was heartbroken. I am so delighted that you have had a positive outcome. I can only imagine the stress that this must have caused you. Well done for your tenacious spirit and perseverance.
Thanks for your comment
Thanks for your encouraging comments
Your strength and tenacity are evident in how you took on these people and won. I'm glad you're moving forward on a more positive note. We Jamaican women are a force to recon with. Good luck in your new endeavors.
This was very informative. I'm sorry this lady ( and she is a TRUE lady going by her composure and overall disposition and tremendous restraint and patience). This lady has done a lot of favors for many people sharing her experience. May God bless her.
Thank you for sharing your observation
So relieved to know she prevailed over those thieves. So happy you named them too
I’m not doing court anymore…😂😂. #Priceless. Much love Sister
What an amazing resilient, strong woman ❤
She is!
Congratulations for going through your trials and tribulations and making it through stronger on the other side. I know they all your future endeavors will be successful.🎉
Thank you for your kind words.
True Jamaican woman, if u mess me up im nt doing court, she will get u fix !
She should promote the 3rd Law firm.
Nuff respect
Bless up 🙏🙏❤️
So many of us have been abused by scumbags for trying to move to, live, do business in Ghana and on the continent as a whole, but thankfully not all people are the same as these scumbags. I find that there is a general culture of dishonesty and greed here, as in my experience, but finding “TRUSTED” people here is a lifesaver. Bigup to the Sista for standing firm.
A darn shame what folks will do to you for money. Your own hard earned money. Glad she was persistent, shamed them in public AND got her money back with interest! Respect and good health to you mam.
Good on you madam I am really pleased to see things have worked out for you, Your experience in Ghana has made me afraid. Thanks for sharing, Gods blessing continue to be with you.
Amazing story and I am glad she was able to get back most of her money.
Yeah. It's been a crazy journey.
May the Creator guide this beautiful sister.
Amen
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Ghana is not a place where I would feel comfortable navigating. The deviant cultural norms exclude this country and many others from consideration for tourism and living. Good luck to you and may you be blessed.
Akua thank you so much for Sharing your experience to the public
Buying a land to build is good idea as Judge advices you to do
Amazing Lady don’t you dare give up 🙏God bless and Good luck.
Unfortunately she was not advise that for new construction you never pay in installments. The normal sales contract for new construction is that you pay the money after Construction is completed and you go to closing. The maximum you can pay in advance as an earnest money deposit that is credited to the final payment. If you structure your sales contract in that way you don't have to worry about all that. If on the other hand you buy some land and you engage the services of a construction contractor they want installment payments you should have a lawyer draft some very tough language that will protect you in case the contractor does not finish the job
The music is disturbing
Her future stories after buying land should be good as well.
Amen
I have listened to this lady before and was heartbroken because this is Ghana and a lot of people do this to our own people and get away with it
It’s very sad!
But God will pay those evil people back who cheated her
What was the name of the real estate company that took her money?
Sorry about that experience u need to publish these people names and BUSINESS SO WE ALL COULD STAY AWAY FROM THEM
I'm an American, living in Detroit, Michigan. I've learned alot from this woman's story. I've been thinking of moving to Ghana or Tanzania. Her story is alarming and educative. She's a strong person; some people would've let it go since. I've listened to part 1, 2 and now 3 of her story.
Thank you for the update - had wondered how this lady was doing. Would be better for those who hadn't seen the first 2 parts to watch the videos as the lesson is in the details.
Can appreciate that after such a long battle it can be hard to enjoy the victory but after much needed rest, recuperation and reflection trust and believe it will sink in. ❤
Sometimes when you are so hungry even when the meal comes and it’s delicious you don’t taste it.
Wow! I appreciate her (Akua) telling her story and giving us her insights.
You are doing a great service to many who listen to this. Many blessings to her and your channel.
Amen and thanks for watching
Thanks very much for this video. I am planning to invest heavily in Ghana and this will help me avoid these bad eggs that spoil the country
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
Please use a real estate lawyer...if you need the one I use , let me know.
@@Uncle-Basil sure thanks. Will be happy to use them.
Good luck you will need it.
@@Uncle-Basilscammer, don't trust anyone
Weldone you have proof to them you know your way around
Fight fight fight. You represent the diaspora
Thanks for the update. So happy she's been compensated.
You are very welcome.
The saying that, God want give us nothing we can not handle and you my sister handle all this chaos good!🙏🏽♥️GOD BLESS U SISTER I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU ❤
Thank you
I am very sorry you had to go through all this corruption. I am glad you got some of your money back.
Thanks for your kind words
Do NOT EVER pay anything upfront until property is completed. Look for Western standards. It should be a turn-key property. If they need your money in order to continue? That's a RED FLAG NO. 1. Especially if they're established with other properties. That brings people in. I get it. However, shouldn't they have their own financing to continue their projects? That's NOT the buyer's problem. Don't hand over anything. I'm glad this lady is tenacious. I'm still watching it
Thank God this is final, I wish her all the best we need good news from Ghana
Thank you for your feedback and for watching.
Ask her to set herself as an advisor to other people.
Noted
Goodness, I'm thankful you shared your experience with us. My husband and I was discussing about visiting Ghana and possibly moving there from the US... But the treatment that you endured bothered me, and I feel really sad that you went through such a messy process. We still would like to visit Africa, but in another location.
Thank you for sharing your story. I admire your determination.
Thank you for watching
The Ghanaian government needs to sort this out. People will not invest in a corrupt country.
I'm glad you got your money back and all is well! I hope you get to build a nice home and live comfortably! I bought land outside of Accra. Cape coast or other areas! I am happy with what I have built now! Thanks for sharing shalom
I’m glad to hear that.
Thank you for part 3 of this amazing story and this amazing woman. There was some light at the end of the tunnel for her. Unfortunately there are too many stories like this without a happy ending. Ghana is a beautiful country but the people who run it are useless and brain amputated. They can are less about the Ghanaian citizens let alone foreigners. There are very little regulations and hardly no accountability, there are laws but no one follows the law. The police dont follow the law, they are criminals. Most of the judges dont follow the law, they are criminals. Most of the lawyers dont follow the law, they are criminals with the exception of the last lawyers who represented Ms. Bailey. I am shocked that a judge told her not to buy land in Accra because they are all thieves in Accra. So who can you trust when the system is so messed up and it doesn't protect its own citizens let alone foreigners?....hardly no one!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Your points are well taken.
Alas!! Thank God this did not happen in Nigerian where every Ghanaian pretends to be from a righteous country and label Nigeria as.... hhhm, wind do blow and we don see fowl nyash🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊
Need part 4 about the land purchase. It was very informative. Sorry about the difficulties faced over there.
Thanks for your comment. Stay tuned
It is already enlightening 😅 Ghana.
She’s really pretty ❤
Thank you.
One thing I learned in Africa invest in friendship with people in law enforcement because nothing scares an African than you showing up to do business with someone in law as business partner
This is very true
Where can you find people in Law Enforcement that aren’t corrupt? 😮
We could send her $1 each!!!! We are over 1 billion alone in the continent. African Americans has a country is at least in 13 place concerning wealth if we were a actual nation. Yet, only 2 percent of our wealth goes back in to our black communities. We feel sorry for her but how sorry! We have 42 million blacks maybe 45 million one dollar each and she could have a major impact in the African world. We continue to down play and disrespect each other hiding behind religious talk without any action or accountability 😢😢😢😢
Thank you for sharing this story. I'm sure this was a harrowing experience for Madam Akua, we appreciate her sharing this story with us in spite of the emotional stress of ALL THIS. What is the lawyer she can recommend?
I've responded to your email and shared your details with Akua to assist you
Great advise ❤
Thanks for watching
Buying a land is also another headache madam. Watchout and be careful!!!
Thanks bebree for your comment
I knew it. That company has a terrible reputation
Thanks for watching
Very interesting video 😊
Thank you! 😃
GREAT ENDING! Glad the LADY got her money back or most of it. Although her initial purchase was for JUST 30,000 pounds or so; it seems like 30,000 pounds in Ghana is the equivalent of over $450,000 (guessing) to an Ordinary Ghanaian based on some of the cost comparisons that I've seen since first viewing this video. The Government there in Ghana HAS TO FIX that disparity SOME HOW or "NOT" deal with the OUTSIDE WORLD. It puts the Native Ghanaians at too severe of a DISADVANTAGE monetarily wise, when a SMALL AMOUNT of money (relatively speaking) generated in a Western Country like 30,000 pounds, but in Ghana that 30,000 pounds put the holder of that money in a very high WEALTH STATUS among the general population. The disparity of WEALTH happens in the United States of America, as well, like some Americans can buy a $500 MILLION "BOAT" while the average pay for workers of the $500 MILLION BOAT "OWNER" COMPANY is maybe (just guessing) $23.00 an hour as to general workers, which is not TERRIBLY bad when many Americans are STILL making $7.50 to $9.50 an HOUR; but STILL doesn't "FEEL" like such a great disparity like in Ghana where EVERYBODY "CAN" "SEE" the great wealth DIVIDE; whereas in the United States of America; you don't get to see that $500 MILLION "BOAT" floating or that BILLION DOLLARS airplane flying; so if you don't see it; people have the tendency not to recognize that the GREAT "DIVIDE" even EXISTS and can believe their $23.00 an hour makes them SPECIAL in terms of WEALTH. Regardless, hopefully the LADY will find HAPPINESS there in Ghana and that the Government will CRACK DOWN on all of that SCAM "RUNNING". And just to be FAIR, sometimes ECONOMIC CONDITIONS can make good intentioned persons look like "SCAM ARTISTS" when things develop outside of their CONTROL. However, communication usually solves that problem when it LEGITIMATELY comes up and the process is NOT a SCAM from the "BEGINNING". Again, good to see her "SMILING"!
Yeah. We are all glad that this had a happy ending!
So happy you didn't give up! What a nightmare!
She has changed so much
Yeah. She’s a conqueror warrior.
Well done
This have been an on going saga... I watched the first, didn’t know there was a part 2/3 .. It would seem to me that she should have gone through exposing these people as was her intentions... I’m glad she stuck it out and have a good ending, but I don’t know if all the stress was worth it ... 💕🙏🏼
It was worth it
Hello Mr Africa Building Hub, please check ur music background,it was horrible we couldn’t get to hear the lady well due to the background noise.Anyway thanks for the information any one coming to Ghana to invest has shine their eyes. 👍
Thank the lord this lady has made some progress.
Amen and amen
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
After listening 🎧 to her and towards the end she said I will let you know if you don't know what you are doing don't do it because she said we are not going to court
Yeah.
Please mention their names the friend who linked her to the real estate company, the real estate company , the lawyer, the judge etc are all involved. The system is broken beyond correction 😢
Okay....how does Africa tend to develop???
She is defo stronger
Am jamaican we jamaican say once bitten twice shy i would rather take my money and return to jamaica i think jamaica is more exciting dan africa hope best for sister too
Hello my sister you have made me feel so proud to be a black woman I live in the US and Jamaican born go up here in the US and my desire is to purchase or build a home in Ghana however I am a bit apprehensive about this journey whether or not to take it what is your advice I need some guidance please
Reach out to the hub. They have my details. Thank you
The system in Africa so corrupt! Our court! Hmm some lawyers take advantage of thier clients due to weakness of the court system. Some Judges seems not to be serious and feel like they were beg to be judges. Adjourning cases that could just take less than a year to deal with.
When the money hit your account you have to take it out quick i like that part africa hmmmmm 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Please share the name of that law firm that helped you so well please
Please email your contact details and I can pass the information on. This is the instructions from them. Thanks for your time.
I have fully paid for my apartment at the same Kwabenya site and they do not even have the courtesy to respond when I send them emails. Can you please let me know the lawyers who helped you finally? Thank you.
But be careful about the builders too my sister. Thank you
This is so sad 😭 ... Because now cause of living and paying lawyers she is still short ...
The other lawyer still has the first instalment that Rehoboth paid.
Donald was right with the list of countries
Ghana is a country. African is a continent 🤷🏾♀️
Thanks for this. Ghana was one of the places I thought about buying property.
If this woman really want to buy land I will advise her to go central region Asebu land is easy to acquire
The Pan African Village more diasporas are more there
Thanks for your comment.
Congratulations but if you named the thieving real estate company why have you not named the good law firm? I was hoping that you would.
The law firm has asked that I get telephone numbers of interested persons. Therefore leaving numbers via email then they will contact you direct.
My beautiful sister,you can use only one eeg for our great Ancestors if she doesn't wanna give back your money!
I wish her luck
Thank you
I recommend the state housing company.
Please can you give the name of the good lawyer for the future
Please email your details to the African Hub.... Then we can give to the lawyers.
What is the name of the second Law Firm that genuinely helped her?
Send an email requesting because we are not allowed to give the information out freely
Thanks for the videos on this. I'm glad that justice came in the end but this isn't a good look on Ghana.
I'm a bit more specific with where the blame goes but this type of behavior will cause many to write off Africa as a whole. I read a comment that she can stay a business to help avoid this but there should be some African institutions doing something.
Great feedback
Wow.... Just WOW!!! Does she have a social media? I'm American/Jamaican and I would love to connect with her if possible.
Unfortunately she is not.
Email your contact details and I will reach out to you. Thanks for your response
Hi Akua, please do you have a number I can contact you on?. I also purchased an apartment at Knightsbridge from Rehoboth
They know if they mess up it's on them and it will not be a court room issue
I'll never buy from the mother land ever no thanks , and I have a friend here in the United States were she say she is a travel agent that helps people come to that country to see if they want to live there and buy property she said she has people who are from that country they will put you up in there home until you decide you want a home there I told her no thank you don't trust it at all
Never ever send money if you’re not on the continent……..don’t trust nobody…….deal with people who have legit business license…….do your homework over and over.
Thanks for sharing these tips.
She's stronger, now😂😂
Yes. She’s victorious!
She still didn’t mention the lady that organises events in the uk for the diaspora that recommended Rehoboth to her and the first place and later FSB Law Consult.
Adwoa Agyemang. Founder of Ghanaian Londoners and shop share GH. PR and Marketing Consultant. Relocation Expert. This is the person who introduced me to Rehoboth.
@@evadney1000 I knew it! Thank you for replying.
@@evadney1000 do you possibly have the name of the new law firm/ lawyers you used please?
I hope and pray that before this lovely lady buys land again, that she will first get a good real estate lawyer...I highly recommend the one I use...if she needs his contact info, I will share it. I wish her the very best going forward.
Thanks for your feedback.
Bro, is there a way you can ask the lady to give you the law firm's contact info? I'm dealing with the same issue with Rehoboth. Thanks.
I will ask for you.
Kindly share your email with us. We will put you in touch with them.
@@AfricaBuildingHub it will help a lot of people if you could share the law firm details publicly. i suppose many of us will be interested in using them.
Go to Wode Maya and a house
Wode Maya promoted the real estate company as being legit.
Wode Maya promoted Rehoboth properties. When I reached out to him he didn't respond. He has a CZcams session promoting buying from Rehoboth.
Mighty God why are your own so wicked can someone tell me please I am waiting
Hi, am facing something similair. Can i please get the contact of the last law firm she was using? Or can i please get her contact?
Kindly leave your email address or contact us on our email.
Have sent you a mail.
I have been watching a lot of other channels with this building issues in Ghana and if the government doesn't do something about these issues how does he expect the diaspora to invest in Ghana if you don't buck ur big toe then you don't know how the pain feels it is total no sense what is going on
Obviously, the government doesn't care... but they care if it was some other groups of people!!! This would never happen to any other race of people doing business there...I have never ever heard of anyone that is doing business in Africa having any problems building or any price gouging...nothing!!!
Is there any way to contact her for consultancy?
Kindly send your email address so she contacts you
Please send your details to the building hub and I will contact you. Thank you.
Are you sure you want to migrate to this country? Somethings look great when we romanticize an idea, however reality sets in. Can you live being so paranoid with everyone you meet there. 😢 sorry you had to go through such horrible situations.
I would not live there, no sir!!
