Akorkor Amanfi, a Ghanaian based in Canada, is the owner of a large poultry farm(Akorkor Amanfi) in Ghana. In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide, he revealed that although he lives abroad, he has been residing in Ghana since September and has spent nearly five months in the country.
According to Akorkor Amanfi, he studied and lived in Canada for many years, but he now chooses to spend the winter season in Ghana. He believes that every problem comes with a solution, and with consistency and patience, progress eventually becomes visible.
He pointed out that there are over 17,000 African Americans currently living in Ghana, questioning why so many people would relocate if there were no opportunities. “There is more to life than just basic necessities,” he said. He added that he is currently in Obuasi working for a client and noted that although Obuasi is rich in gold and music talent, many roads remain untarred.
Akorkor Amanfi criticized Ghana’s culture of accepting mediocrity, especially from professionals such as doctors, nurses, and politicians, who often show little respect to ordinary citizens. He believes Ghanaians fail to recognize opportunities not because they lack eyes, but because they fail to use their minds. According to him, many African Americans living in Ghana see opportunities that locals overlook.
He argued that once people travel outside Ghana, they begin to appreciate the freedom they have at home. “In Ghana, you can enter a trotro, start a conversation, and everyone becomes your friend,” he said. Abroad, he explained, society treats people like machines—once you stop working, you almost stop existing.
Akorkor Amanfi added that although people may have money, children, and material comfort abroad, many are still unhappy. In Ghana, food is fresh, fruits are healthy and affordable, and life is less stressful compared to overseas, where even basic healthy food is expensive.
He challenged the idea that abrokyire (life abroad) is heaven, noting that many people cannot afford to build houses abroad but eventually return to build homes in Ghana. He also pointed out that traveling abroad on a visitor’s visa can take up to ten years to gain proper documentation, while investing that same time and effort in Ghana could lead to long-term success.
According to him, poor people often challenge advice instead of learning from those whose lives are working. “Abrokyire is only good if you bring your money back to Ghana,” he stated.
He also criticized Ghana’s education system, saying children are taught mostly about colonial wars instead of being educated about Ghana’s natural wealth, such as gold, culture, science, and history. He believes young people should be taught to understand Ghana’s resources and how to develop them.
Akorkor Amanfi further criticized excessive religiosity, stating that many Ghanaians attend church daily but still engage in dishonesty. He argued that the lack of critical thinking among citizens allows politicians to lie easily and manipulate voters.
He concluded by emphasizing that government exists to protect the health, education, and security of the nation—and citizens must hold leaders accountable to fulfill those responsibilities.
