There are no opportunities in Ghana? - Why the youth are leaving Africa to Europe and America

My name is Mickey... I am one of those ambitious African youths who thought building your dreams in Ghana and Africa as a whole was near impossible so migrated to UK in search of greener pastures.

But in 2019, with the launch of the Year of Return; an initiative by the government of Ghana intended to encourage African diasporas to come to Africa (specifically Ghana) to settle and invest in the continent; I was proved wrong...at least so it seemed on YouTube.

Finally, the hidden potentials of Ghana, the former Gold Coast and the gate way to Africa has been unearthed. But then I started making videos about Belize and the sort of messages and comments I've been receiving from local Ghanaians youths has filled my head with a lot of questions.

So in this video I find out 
- whether this whole diaspora exodus to Ghana and Africa, is just a hype
- Why young Africans are still risking their lives to migrate to Europe and America despite this hype.
- What it takes to make it in Ghana and Africa
- And finally whether it is even worth the hustle of migrating out of the continent to build a new dream at all.
