本站添加: 2026-05-16

[00:00:00]So, if there's any other people like that, let them all come back home.

[00:00:06]Let them come. There's so much opportunities here for them.

[00:00:11]>> [music] >> Ibrahim Mahama promised to make Emmanuel Asamoah rich, and he has done it.

[00:00:22]You see, the genesis of this xenophobic attack in South Africa against Ghanaians started on this guy as he was the first victim that his video circulated on social media, very disturbing one. We're fixing this continent. This thing of you guys moving from one country to the other. I I I say say say say it's no longer working. We don't want this as African people anymore. We are tired of of of seeing African migrants moving all over the world. Refusing to fix your own countries. Now, we we we we making it very clear to you guys. We we we don't want you here.

[00:00:58]We want you to fix your countries. Now, you came here with a traveling document, which you came with a passport. You know that you are a visitor, but where now you decided to come and integrate in our communities. You know very well that what you what you have done is wrong.

[00:01:12]How many children do you have here?

[00:01:14]We can come to Ghana and do what you're doing.

[00:01:16]>> Where's your passport? Eh?

[00:01:18]Where's your passport?

[00:01:19]>> Now, you're carrying a bucket. It's It's 11:00 a.m. You were supposed to be fighting the government of Ghana there to ensure that they're getting things right.

[00:01:26]>> no fighting Ghana. You must fight what they did. Where's your passport?

[00:01:29]Passport. Passport?

[00:01:32]Take it out.

[00:01:33]Let me see your passport. Let me see. Do you remember him? He is called Emmanuel Asamoah. Now, fast forward. Do you know the guy is safely in Ghana, but this guy has met the president's brother, that is Ibrahim Mahama, a man who has money, an entrepreneur, a businessman, a philanthropist. So, true that the guy said what Ghana government did shocked him because right after the incident the Ghana government gave him 24/7 protection to make sure that whatever document they need to process ASAP for him to get to Ghana they would do it.

[00:02:16]And you remember when this incident happened this xenophobic attack OUR FOREIGN MINISTER ABLAKWA also posted on his tweet. He commented he did meetings upon meetings.

[00:02:27]He summoned the South African president because Ghanaians were not rested neither our president. So this guy is now safely home in Ghana where he has met the brother of the president. Then what really happened? True they are certain or a quiet meeting between this guy. The rich man promised him that no, he wonders why Ghanaian youth sometimes even travel. Though he understand them but Ghana has a money. It's high time Ghana businessmen and investors get to know where they have to invest their money and all that. So for him as he promised him that when he gets to Ghana he will surely help him out. Now what was the help about?

[00:03:16]So that if there's any other people like let them all come back home.

[00:03:23]Let them come there's so much opportunity to do here for them.

[00:03:26]If it's to find seed money for them means better out of the 200 even if you help them and 100 do well is better than you get your time in Cairo. You know, Ghana is not a broke country. It's just that we don't know where to put our money. You understand? There are people who really need just small help. That help I got that 10,000. I'm looking to see how many people but the people are people are not disciplined.

[00:03:51]You give somebody money I've given somebody money. The person was struggling somewhere. I met the person I mentioned in the country. And then he came up and said, "I want to do this."

[00:04:00]And I see the person is enjoying the money.

[00:04:03]And as I am I see the person is enjoying But this money he does well today, my children who are younger, tomorrow though he will tell them that your father is a good man.

[00:04:12]Your father helped me. So possibly tomorrow he's sitting somewhere and he also can help my children.

[00:04:18]You get?

[00:04:19]But we don't we don't we don't look at the progress.

[00:04:23]The problem that makes me sit away even from the public is that most of the people are not disciplined.

[00:04:29]You create a business for somebody. The person is making profit. At the end of the year I mean he he made about 900,000 Ghana cedis.

[00:04:37]That's $90,000. The person is going to buy enjoy the money.

[00:04:43]But in my discipline I'm expecting that the person will put the money back into the business.

[00:04:49]You know? It's a discipline. Ghanaians can be good business people but the problem is just the discipline.

[00:04:56]He thinks that every capital is profit.

[00:04:58]So you just enjoy.

[00:05:01]So when he sees this fighter has bought a car, he also wants to buy.

[00:05:06]But that's why I started as a loaner and he started and he's built upon.

[00:05:12]I started with nothing. Small small it's just trust.

[00:05:16]This this world in which we are in is just trust, your word.

[00:05:20]Somebody I owe somebody I said well I'll pay you in two months. In two weeks I said when I get the money I'll pay the person. Whenever I go there and I'm not even there when I call the person and say, "Hey, allow you give me some 1 million Ghana cedis." He will bring it.

[00:05:34]You get? So that's the trust you need to build.

[00:05:38]But you have come at the luck at the right time.

[00:05:42]So let's let's let this sink to Ghanaians that we can help ourselves to develop. We don't need nobody.

[00:05:51]The kind of money we have here we turn it in Ghana, we will make a lot of money.

[00:05:57]They have contractors who build projects. He is a lucky boy.

[00:06:01]Let's go and take the cement, sell it.

[00:06:04]He gets his money, he pays the cement back. He sells 1 million Ghana cedis, he makes 100,000 or he makes even 70,000.

[00:06:11]It's better than going to seek any employment in any country.

[00:06:15]That was an after on That was it in English. That's when we did the calculation. How much?

[00:06:25]A month he was earning like 1,700 to 1,800 cedis. I think 3,000 cedis.

[00:06:30]1,800 what? Cedis? Converting to dollars.

[00:06:35]A month? He was doing nails. And we had nails here.

[00:07:11]Let's find a car for you. What kind of car do you want? A car like that?

[00:07:30]So you go and talk to Abu Janem. They should call contractors to buy cement.

[00:07:36]You know.

[00:07:37]So while they are And with us, once you buy the cement, the cement is the best. Once you buy the cement, you don't even have to pay for it. Once government pays you then you pay back. So, we believe in Ghana.

[00:07:55]Yeah, I'm happy this. And look, Wab ambassador of no minister special assistant of the Guy is now a new owner of a cement company.

[00:08:08]A cement company. So, meaning this guy is not in Ghana to start afresh, but for him to even start afresh, there is already help for him. So, Ibrahim Mahama has established this guy very well. And also add up a huge sum of money of 200,000 Ghana cities. As our old currency is 200 2 billion cities. So, this guy is very rich now.

[00:08:40]And the cement company as it stands now, the location is not yet disclosed, but I'm sure the guy will be doing one or two advertisement for Ghanaians to know that he's the new owner. And you the way the massive is too much. The guy can't even say anything. And it's when you have um a country that the businessmen and the rich people are kind-hearted people that they want to establish others. Now, other people are saying since the Ibrahim Mahama is showing that he has money, then all the South Africans, those are the dead the Ghanaian South in South Africa, they should all come home and all that. Maybe they'll receive a Yeah, because they might receive help.

[00:09:22]Because it won't be from only um Ibrahim Mahama. Other people are willing to help them once this xenophobic attack is against them because it's not good.

[00:09:33]Ghana is for everyone. And you know whether government is doing so well and all that. currently the guy is home where he has been established and also he has received a money on top of it to make sure that he will better his life.

[00:09:47]This is the case. It's now recourse where what Jacinta was referring to Ghanaians that these Ghanaians should leave their country to go and better themselves or they should go and tell their government. You see the massive support. I don't want to go on this story because it's not even important to me. Do you remember the guy who led the activist so hard? I don't really remember his name. We once came across on social media that his house has got burnt and they are now trying to donate where nobody is even helping him out.

[00:10:20]But, that one is aside. But, do you remember Emmanuel Asamoah? Now, he has received a massive support from the Ghana base businessman, philanthropist, Ibrahim Mahama. Now, Emmanuel Essien and I don't think Emmanuel will ever think of going back to South Africa. Not only South Africa, for now I don't think he will even try to travel because he's doing well for himself. I think this also should motivate other people that they have money similar to Ibrahim Mahama to also help the victims that we are processing to bring them back home safely. So, Ghana for you. Ghana everywhere. Always will trend back to back because when it's about our citizen we don't play with them. So, Emmanuel Asamoah is safely home where he has received a massive support from Ibrahim Mahama. I'm sure he won't be only Ibrahim Mahama. Others will also attend to him to play a signal out there that Ghanaians always lead. Hello, thank you for watching the video till the end.
