  Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

  Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you this. We were talking backstage. There's
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: a lot of Americans here and we were talking about people,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: you know, opportunities in Africa, and we're in Africa, different things,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: and you were saying like, this is so many opportunities, right,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: So can you speak on that for the Americans that
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: may want to start businesses or have some investments, you
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: know what perspective can you can you give them?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: So, first of all, I think that when people look
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: at investment opportunities, it's the first thing that they think
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: about is capital. I don't agree. I think the first
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: thing you got to think about is an idea, what
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: it is that you want to do. The way I
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: see Africa is this. So I see America or the
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: West as a farm, a very sophisticated farm. They have
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: all kinds of things planted of the farm. And if
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: you want to be successful, you need to find a
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: niche and you have to work at it very hard
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: before you can plant something for you to grow and
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: be successful. That's how I see it. And I see
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Ghana and Africa as a bear land. You just have
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: to find a spot, get some cow manio put it there,
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: plant something that you think you can really sell, sprinkle
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: some water and then it will work out. So I
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: feel like there's so much opportunity here. However, we don't
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: think of any ideas and sometimes you just you figure
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: it out on the ground. My background is accounted and finance.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know nothing about telecoms. I don't know nothing
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: about all in gas, but I figured out, you know,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: being around, just being in Ghana. So please don't always
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: think of, oh, I need to find five hundred thousand dollars,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: I need to find a hundred thousand dollars. I need
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: to know just there's so much opportunity here. There are
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: people that came here with next to nothing.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: You gave us a great example of the porter parties.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, tell us about that.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: So, like you were saying, like so many things that
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: you don't even think about, and then it's like by
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: the time you actually figure it out, it's already done.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because like the porter party situation for them. Yeah.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: So because I mean what people want to do is
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: people want to follow the train. They want to go away.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: They hear you know, oh, this line of business is
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: really successful. By the time you hear there's a really
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: good line of business, it is over. I mean, I
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: mean people have made the most of it, and you know,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: the entry barrier will be higher, the returns are going
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: to be lower and stuff. And like I said, it
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: could be as simple as you know, creating any brand
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: anything at all from here, you know. So it could
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: be real estate, it could be you name it. I
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: mean real estate back ten years ago, fifteen years ago
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: was way better than I guess than it is today.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: And the people that got involved back then, you know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I think I gave an example. People that jumped on
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Tesla back in the day are way better than people
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: that are trying to jump on Tesla now. But there
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: are a lot of opportunities. You have to just figure
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: it out. I don't want to really direct anyone into
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: any particular space, but it's just so broad and just
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: think about it this way. It's bare land. You basically
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: figure out what you want to plant, you know, and
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: have a successful harvest. So it's your call. You have
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: to figure it out. Your business plans that you did
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: in college and stuff is not going to work over here.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna let you know that, you know, forget that
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: business plan and there's that no you know what, forget
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: all that. All that now now is the real deal.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: There's the jungle.

• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Most people have their college degree disiold master's your pad.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: This is the real deal. Yeah, And what I want
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: to let you know is there's so much opportunity and
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: that returns here. The kind of returns you can make
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: here is very difficult to make it in the West
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: A lot of times. Don't sleep on Africa. Do not
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: sleep on Africa. One thing I will tell you is
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: that the wealthiest black man who look like us is
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: from where Africa? Where did he make the money? Africa?
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: So why are we slacking? I think there's opportunity here
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: for all of us.
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: What kind of returns are we looking at? As an
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: American business person if we come here plant what kind
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: of returns you expected? And also from all your successes
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: and failures, what are like the three biggest lessons that
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: you've gained from them.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: In terms of returns. I think each and everyone have
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: different expectations. But one thing that I can tell you
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: is that the returns that I have seen in Africa,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: I don't think I would have seen that elsewhere. I'm
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: going to talk about myself an opportunity that I've invested.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Let's say I've invested maybe one hundred and fifty million
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: dollars in an opportunity and the returns maybe sixty billion dollars.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: So I don't know what multiples that is, you know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: So it's all right if you do the math. There's
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: a lot, a whole lot, but there are some you know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: someone may like I said, I started with I didn't
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: have any capital, So you don't don't don't look at
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: it as what am I going to really get out
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: of this? Don't look at it from that side. Look
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: at it as how do I get over this challenge?
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: So this is a challenge. I want to be able
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: to get over it, because if you're able to get
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: over the challenge, the sources will come after that. You know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: you don't don't try and figure out the money pot
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: pet The money part will come.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: The returns might be like I didn't think, I mean,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: I knew I was going to be successful. I didn't
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: think I was going to be this successful. I ain't
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: gonna lie, you know. Sometimes I got to pinch myself.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: This is real. Like, so you may think maybe you
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: may becoming the gun and you're like, oh, I want
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: to make a million dollars, that's what That's what you
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: may think. But the things that you're doing, the opportunity
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: could actually make you twenty million dollars. But because in
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: your mind you want to make a million bucks. As
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: since you make a million bucks, ooh you're comfortable. Yeah there,
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Lamborghinia is about to come out, so you know, you know,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: instead of you maybe focusing on you know, improving the
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: business and you know, working smart and stuff like that,
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: you put you set limitations. So I don't really like
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: that part. I think that the opportunities here are really
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: really unlimited in terms of the rewards. So I don't
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: like it to be that way. I mean, some banks
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: used to give like ten percent fixed deposit interest rates.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: You put your money in the bank, you don't do
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: nothing to give you ten percent pair, you know. So
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying this, there are real opportunities over here.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: You just have to figure it out.
