 Welcome back to the YouTube channel, it's your favorite village boy Mr. Ghana baby and I'm still here in the village with the legendary man behind Casa Preco. You know the founder already right, Dr. Kobena Ajay. I've never done anything like this before. This is the 7th episode that I'm uploading on one particular person. You know why? Because I believe he is a living legend but I like how everybody in the village just loves it. This is what I say hello. And if no one will celebrate him, I will use this platform to celebrate him. This is why I keep on telling you that like the video, share the video so that a lot of people will get to know him because what he has done is something unimaginable. This is an ordinary man who has been able to do extraordinary things. This world, this world is a stage, as I said the world is a stage, right? When you go to a concert party, the olden days, somebody will come and perform 15 minutes and he lives and that person comes in. So because this world is a big stage, everybody will live at a point in time with the parts. So once there is a stage, you choose your character, like a film, you choose your character. Just like going to the stadium. At the stadium you have the VIP, you have the poplar stand, right? You know the VIP is a bit pricey, poplar stand is the common. So you can choose to go to the VIP or you can go to the poplar stand, yes. But for me, I wanted to choose the VIP. And you know when people become successful, they forget their family, they forget where they are coming from, they forget their roots. This man never forgot his roots. And what he has done in the village by giving back to the society, he decided to give back to his family. And it was shocking to me to see that what he did for his family does not belong to his children, but rather extended family. You know when I build the family house, my family, not my children, that's the extended family. I'm the head of the Ibiana family. I'll show you the old building that I came to inherit. I put it down and put out a new one for them. They're distant, they're from the house. Yeah. And I don't know what the mission is, some of my friends said, you're still doing the same thing. One called me, you come to see this one here, so we're also doing something for my family. They've been inspired. Yes, about three people said, I'm doing the same thing. You know, and I know a certain high government official in this government, I'm so going back to my village, I don't want to mention any names, I'm going back to my village to do the same thing that we are doing. So you take inspiration from each other. That's true. I want to ask you a question. Were you also born in a village? Have you made it already? Have you thought of going back to your root to do something like this for your own people? I'm doing these videos just to inspire you. Let the life of Dr. Kobina Ajay inspire you to go back to your root to make a change. I'm a villager. I want to live in a village and live in a village and eat what the villagers eat. You grow your own thing and eat your own thing, does it? What does family mean to you? Family. History. Yeah. Or scientists have shown that, you see I've got family, good family members around them, they live longer. No stress. You know, no stress. One, your children have to be good, that is a normal, modern family. Yeah. Now, the Senegal family too, we Africans, you know, we do the Senegal family system. So not only your wife, your children are your family. That's a close family, but you have the Senegal family system also in Africa. And the wife, they don't have it. That's what you beat them with. So here, right now, if I say all my family members who come and meet me here, they will come. How about the white person? No, he hasn't got any family. It's only the wife and the children, but half the family is set up. So that's what African people maintain, that sort of legacy. The white men try to, you know, take us off, but the Jews, they do it a lot, the Jews. Most of my friends are Jewish. They have the family system. Oh, auntie. Oh, my grandmother. But they say, for Africans, if you're 18 years, you do the family, that is not good. You know. Yeah, family is family. They still have their aunties. I mean, the Jews, right here. It's a corona system, but it works. Where we turn now is the cooking area. The kitchen, right? Here. Yeah, here. Manku, Fufu. Yeah. Manku, sheep, you know. So we have this one here for Asakukin. We have another area here for Asakukin, you know. Exactly. Some dishes cannot be cooked inside the kitchen. So here, this is the kitchen. This is not for my children, my children. It's for my family members, right? So here, this is the kitchen, you know. So just imagine going to a village. My nephew will come here one hour. This is your kitchen, right? Yeah. When you come, you are men from the other village, right? Part of the world. Akira, Temma. The village around here. So this is the kitchen for them. This is another, you see there's a washing machine. There's a washing machine. There's another kitchen here. So double kitchen. Because of the traffic. You know. Because we are men who are cooking outside too. So I made a very nice place for them to do their cooking, right? Yeah. So if you have a new problem, you cannot come downstairs. There's room here for you, right? You know, our family system. Yeah, exactly. A lot of people are coming here. You know, they are the conversant, they are cooking. You know, yeah. So if you want to eat together, you can go there where you eat. Yeah. So I did a course in Harvard Business School. And I talked about the power of sitting. So this week, I will sit with you. That means, where do you come from? What's your name? Right before one week time, then we have acquaintance with you. Then the next week another person comes in. So that's why I want them to eat together. You say that. Oh, okay. Before you finish eating, then at least you know yourself a bit done before. This is something that an architect will never understand. No, no. Now you are not entering the course yet. We call it activity. So if there is an issue between you and let's say your sibling, and I hear of it, I'll call you. That's where I'll sit. And then solve the issue. Normally we have it here. The old place, the same thing. So I have my panel there, and we trust out. Because family bow means there will be issues. Family issues bow means we cannot say there will be issues. I assume you come here, and I'm sitting in the States. Then we read that word. My family members. We are discussing family issues. And Maya and his team has come. Where do you welcome you? Here? No. But we are deserving family issues. We have a family member. We are supposed to listen to that. So that's why I'll send you up. To where we're waiting. So go and wait for me at my reception. Who are the cabinets? Me, I'm the head, right? Half the hour head of the woman. Okay. I'm the queen mother. I'm not a king. I'm the head of the family. Men have the head of the family, women. So he will sit by me here, right? And the rest of the family members will be here. And then if you have an issue, we'll give you a seat somewhere here. You are the complainant. You are the defendant. You sit here and you judge. There's a room here. There's a jewellery room. But there's a lot. How do you finish? You came too early. I came too early. You were rushed. You should have given me a bathroom for three months. You have a jewellery room here. So that after you deliberate, you go to the place and go ahead and edit before you come back to sit and say, okay, we are guilty. You have to specify this one. Or for me, normally I don't announce girls. I prefer to say, okay, now shake hands. I put my foot on the case. Gris, you are a friend. And my family ran. Now when I came to my family, not about batting. For me, I like unity. How long have you been here? Since I became the family head. Yeah. Three years. Three years now. Incredible. That looks like the one, the gun that the hunters used to go. But this is symbolic. Because this is the only asset that I had. I inherited when I became the head of the family. I told you, the olden days have gold, a lot of jewelry ornaments. But I think the subsequent head of families, I don't know, they didn't take it because of the hours. So this is the only thing that I had inherited. So I decided to display it. So by all means, when we come, we ask me and also show to the family members that you don't have to get a lot from the family before you do something for the family. Because this is what I had. If I said this one, I cannot even get probably $20. I cannot even get, but look at what I've done for the family. So the same thing I can, look at what you can do to the family. But I don't know what the family can do to you. So now you can go back to where you have received you. So I'm not supposed to be sitting here all the time. I come here when there's an issue. Oh, that's when you have to sit there. Aha, yeah. This is where my reception, this is my reception. So when you come, family reception, when you come and then we are busy down, right here. We come here and then we wait for us here. So that's how it is. So we are thought out, planned. So if you give it to an architect, how can he bring all these things? He can't. No, he can't. He won't understand. No, he won't understand. You are farming in here too. That's like backyard garden for the castle there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Why are you growing in there? The same, the same local goodies. Carrots, pepper, tomatoes. So now we go in to another section. This is a backyard garden here. This place is supposed to be a small fish pond. About three or four catfish here. Before you leave, look at the fish. Always clear, right here. And then you go to the forest. I see. This is the forest that was hidden from me, yeah? Actually here, you go to be green. That's why we left it. This place is captive. Hopefully it's captive. So this is a small forest. You know, welcoming you home. But this is an exercise, you know. Climbing up every morning. I ask him, how often do I do this? How many times? 11 times. 11 times? Yeah. In a day? Every other day. Every other day. It is 87 steps. So this is the recreational area for the family. The whole area is for you. So let's say the women come. They can come here and play their head. Wow. If they are meant to, they can play cards here. Whatever they want. So this is the recreational area for the family. You are not confined to your group. I deliberately raise this one, right? I mean raise it so that it doesn't become like a hell. So it's a creature. And also from here you can actually see the view of the forest. That's an additional value. Smartness. So this place is a family residence. That is the courtyard. This is a playground for the recreational area, right? This is a family residence. My family members, this area. So when you come, you come and you don't stay here. You are a visitor. I mean from the village. Yeah. But my family member will come. We are allowed to live in that one of those rooms. You go to one of the rooms. One. One. That's why a friend of mine came to see this. It's okay. I'll also do some. He's doing it. He's doing it. Come in one. It might not be as big as this. But at least I've inspired somebody to do a similar thing. Right? Yeah. Oh. This one is elevated. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. So I created this one also. Let's assume there are a lot of people here, right? I want to have a private conversation with you. Yeah. Right? You come here. You know? So we are not left with the furniture. You know? Yeah. So we are here. Aha. Yeah. You see the grains. Aha. Yeah. So this water. I've created myself. Yeah. This is beautiful. That's the architecture. So I did these ones. Yeah. This modern. This is a colonial one. Because it's a colonial building, right? Yeah. That's why I didn't use glass. Contemporary and colonial. I prefer the colonial. This is also another carpet area here. It's a green here. All these places are open. Yeah. So you know where you went? Yeah. Where you went to the kitchen, right? Yeah. If you cook, I want to come to sleep. You pass here. There's a stress here. That's why when you take the shorts, it's like this. Yeah. So this mostly for the ladies who come from the kitchen. Aha. So let's go to their bedrooms. It's like it's hilly. It's on a hill. Yes. Yeah. Three layers. Yes. Three layers. Yes. I don't want to do this toilet building. No. Aha. I want something unique. See. Three layers. It is distinctive. You kindly get this one in the car. Yeah. Aha. Yeah. There is one in the car. People come here and say, hey, we are in a brewery. Yeah. We close out. They may still for toilet building. Yeah. I didn't want the toilet building. It's ordinary, right? For me, I want to be a bit different from the ordinary. Not to my part. A bit different from the ordinary. Just want to be different. Yes. Yes. So come back to the tangent type. Yeah. So I had my philosophy that when everybody is sleeping, wake up. A bit ahead of the ordinary. Can I tell you something? No. So when everybody is sleeping, you have to wake up. Yeah. But what inspired Awake? So we say Ghana, Awake. Nigeria, Awake. Zimbabwe. Awake. Aha. Congo, Awake. Awake. Aha. That's it. Yes. They called us the sleeping stars of Jacob. That's Africans. They're Africans. But it is not the best thing. So if you Awake now, Awake. Nobody can tell us if you're sleeping. I just want to say something. This brand needs to be in every African country. Sure. Sure. Why not? Why not? Actually my aim is to get a product across Africa. That's why Alwubites, you can see it in Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Togo. So my aim is to make the Awake water and Alwubites worldwide brand. That's why we are trying to push it. You know, we send Alwubites to America. Yeah. They've got an FDA approval. You know, yes. It is very difficult to get FDA approval in America if you do your own Herbal brand. Very, very difficult because they don't know, they don't trust their health. Yes. So you have passed through all these processes. You have America FDA approval to legally ship Alamo to America. It's just a small thing, but we are doing our best. You know, I think after spending time with you, telling me where you're born in. You know, I can define success after listening to you. Okay. So for me, after meeting you, success is like making ordinary people do extraordinary things. Exactly. You're right. So now, see, this is the lady's room. I'm going to name it after my grandmother, you know, like Abracoma's house. This section, you know, and this will be for one of my ancestors. So let's go to the lady's section. Alright. I just finished the place, but let's go. I know I came so early, but it's alright. Yeah. You know, so... Wow. This way, the ladies, this is the Abracoma hall. Yeah. This is the sitting room. Yeah. So we're going to set it up. We go to the main residence. I told you... Wow. The power of sitting. The same thing. Aha. They stick together so that then they know each other. Yeah. So that's how I make it bigger. Yeah. So they have their washroom, you know, try to surprise them. See, they have their bathroom. They have their cuisines, right? Aha. I showed them how to operate it. You have to think about how to stay in and then, you know, massage yourself or refresh yourself. We are going back to Agra. You know, you feel that better. Yeah. You know, when my grandchildren came here the other time, they were going, Daddy, grandpa, can you spend one more day here? No, no, no. Go, go, go. But this is for only family members. So we come here the same time. 10 people can stay in this room. Yeah. You talk to them. I don't want divisions. I've been telling them, I don't want divisions. I don't want quarrels. Sheep. When they're going to eat flock, you see, they go together. They go together. Bass. They fly together, right? They're the same feathers, right? Dogs. They go together. So I tell my family members, see, even if sheep know that we are a group, so let's go together. You don't see a dog going to eat with a sheep. Parma, you're a family member. Which means you have to be one. Aha, that's it, yes. And then we go to the male section. This is where we come from, the village. And that's where we are at Agra. And we are currently in Agra. We are born in Agra. Do your born in Agra. This is where you come from. Aha, this is your group, yes. And this is the male section. The same thing. Same design. Same design. Aha, so this is the male section. Suddenly they came here. I said, can I come be your family member? What do you think they come? They all come. Even after coming here, I think I will also send out a request before I leave. So this door, if they want to have a function, the male film they want to have a function, something happens here. It's a ceremony. And it is raining. It's not too small. They can come here and do it here. The family set up. So they can open the doors together. And then we can one big hall for that function. So this one we tell in the architect. He won't understand. He won't understand. The same concept. They say, offer to be able to sell out. Then they come. They do come. They are coming also. They are coming. Even I think tomorrow, somebody said you will be coming. I said, tomorrow I'm busy. So you come this week. I don't know them at all, but they hear of my name. And they come here. And I bring them back. Back. To know their route. What do you agree with your grandfather or grandmother? What's more? See, isn't it fantastic to do that? I hope. So if you have a family like that, wouldn't you enjoy it? And this is what I've done. And you can go back. I've done it. I'm also doing something for my family. Family. No. This is... To Maya. Is that your inspiration? You're also from a clan. I don't know. You're from a clan. You're probably doing something for your clan in the future. In the future? No, now. Now I can't. But... How long has it taken you to get this far? How do you feel? How do you feel? But so far? So far. It took about four years. Wow. Four years. Because I was in here. I was in here. So I was not always on it. You know. And because I was doing it on my own, myself, we would come and do what we don't like. So I would do it this way. Or do it this way. Or do it this way. See. So this is the... I mean, there are a few main sections. And this is the main section. Right? So the same thing is going to be green here. So the next video will come. So this side is going to be green too? This side is where I live. Oh. You know. I'll show you my house. You pass there. I don't know where that is. I don't know if I'm going to show you. My old house. Right? Over there. But now I've moved in here. Your wife is also here? My wife is here. My wife is here. So this place... I'm going to make it a golf pattern. A mini-golf. A mini-golf. It's where you come here. You want to, you know, you set yourself. So I think you should come and lay it next week. I'll just call the guy tomorrow. I want to advise young Africans about family. You know, how important it is to, I mean, trace back your roots. Or, I mean, getting on your own people. How important it is. It's very, very, very important. And it's sensual. It's sensual. And I think, like I said, the Western world don't have that. Western world, they don't have such a thing. But we... That is our heritage. We have to maintain it. You know. They... When you talk about... You talk about the Odindes, Panyaran. What does that mean? Panyaran. More sacrifice. You know. Where they were killing human beings for a while. That's a stupid thing. Forget about it. But the good ones, let's maintain it. The family system is very, very important. They don't have it, but we have it. You should not forget about our roots and could pay only my wife and children. Only my wife and children. What about your sister's son? Who's struggling? What do we help them? Right? So that's a family system that we have and they don't have. So we have to maintain that. Because we are poor, right? How to give? At least give to your family members. When you give, you shall receive. See, if you are fortunate, you take care of your brother's son. Yeah. Your brother's son. If he's good, he will also pay you back. And the dry time. Right? So we believe in that family system. It is very, very important. And we have it and they don't have it. Thank you.
