 The questions are on the phone and I'll be answering so I'll be looking at my phone sometimes so don't be offended. Yeah I think I will answer the most asked question. Someone said, why didn't you accompany Ms. Trudy to America? I mean Ms. Trudy going to America was actually my trip. I was invited by YouTube to attend the US Africa Summit but I had a contract which the deadline was also near so I had to just go under the contract. Yeah so I had to convince Trudy to go to America and I would join her on Monday but when I went for the contract I think I felt like the video would be filmed in a day but we ended up spending two days in filming the video. I arrived in the car and I felt so tired so weak and I had to call Trudy to tell her I'm so sorry I cannot join you but he just go for all the meetings for me on my behalf and yeah that's basically what happened. I was just supposed to be at the US Africa Summit and currently she's actually there enjoying herself as a holiday because she has been in Ghana for quite a long time so she deserves it. I mean she needs that break if you don't know Ms. Trudy is my wife just go check out the link in the description subscribe and be part of her awesome channel as she shows you her trip around America. Somebody said, you're very humble what's the secret? Am I humble? Do you think I'm humble? I don't know I think I was born this way maybe if you define that as humble yeah that's okay but I think my dad has always been my mentor the way my dad lived his life just I mean living my life like my dad so I don't know if that is humble but yeah thanks for the compliment thank you this one this one made me laugh man do you have plans for your wife and kids relocate finally to America? Hell no this shouldn't be a question to ask someone like Guatemala because I'm telling the diaspora to come back home and invest how do you expect I don't understand I preach I practice what I preach right so definitely it's a big no I would live in Africa invest in Africa develop Africa and help build Africa yeah do you miss China? Yes I miss China sometimes I had a very good time in China everything that I know right now I think I lent it in China I discovered myself when I was in China like I went to China without knowing anything so China shaped my life China built me up China made me who I am today I miss China the food the people everything about China I miss it the only thing that I I hate about China the fact that the racism was quite intense when you're in China and apart from that the people are amazing man and someday why not someone is asking what is your biggest goal for 2023 wow I think like I said earlier this year was a resting year for me and 2023 is going to be bigger we're going to be traveling to more countries I think I took 2022 as a case study when I hit a million I was a bit exhausted so I didn't want to pressure myself in trying to create content every day so the main target is to hit two million this year and doing so we have to create more content every day so we're going to start like I mean as early as 1st January we'll be bringing new videos and next year no matter what we are going to the Caribbean because finally we got the visas that will enable us to hit the Caribbean I know we don't need visa to visit the Caribbean countries but you need to do transit and you need visa for that so that's what we'll be doing mine is not a question but just compliments you truly is glowing thanks for loving her oh wow that's beautiful but I thought some people are saying that through this you run for her life because I made it look like a village girl I mean whatever whatever you do people will always talk about it no matter how good you are no matter how bad you are no matter how helpful you are people will always read meanings to whatever you do and this is more like the master bedroom it looks huge man very huge Tio Aina is saying send me money bro the richest youtuber in the whole of Africa is asking me to send him money dude respect yourself so when I say Maya what is happening with your views let me tell you what's happening to my views anytime I travel to a new country yeah people want to see the new country so no matter what video you upload from that new country you're gonna get the views but if you don't travel because this whole channel is about travel content right so if you don't travel and you're still giving people content yeah it's your lawyer audience that's gonna watch it but the more you travel the more viewers you get I know how this thing works check about our videos from Zimbabwe it got a lot of views because we went to a new country check about our videos when we went to Gambia LDC it got views because like when you go to a new country people wants to watch you but when you step out of the country or maybe when you are in your own country it's just the regular views that you get but when you go to new countries that's when you gain new audience so someone is saying how do you stay focused on the goal when all hope is lost it can be very challenging sometimes extremely challenging sometimes but know why you started and use that as the only hope that you have to focus on where you're going I hope that answer was a good one I don't know but yeah um do you think the youth is doing enough to save the continent I think yes but it's not that enough and I know and believe that there are a lot of youth of Africa that are trying their possible best to put the continent on the map but there are a lot of challenges that are hindering them from putting the continent on the map I don't know if because I feel like we need support look at example myself you know traveling from different African countries to promote Africa at least we should get the support of the funding to move from one place to another but no no one is supporting you you have to use your own resources to make it happen. A lot of Africa are doing a lot like there's so many people that are that became farmers but I think they need help but the help is not coming so they have to use the little that they have to put the continent on the map in Africa it's more like each one for himself god for us all and which I think it's so sad and I've met a lot of people who have ideas man they have great ideas but the support is not coming so I would say whatever idea that you have keep working on it by yourself little by little I mean I believe that someday the continent will see what you do and I appreciate what you do man wow this question this lady is asking me how are you I know it might be a very simple question but sometimes people just want to hear this thank you I would say I'm getting better I've not been fine for a very long time but I have to stay strong for myself my family and to you as YouTube audience I've been through a lot of tough times in 2022 very tough times tough times that could easily break me down but all I do is to pick myself up and focus I sometimes you meet people on the streets they will see you smiling but when you come back home it's full of tears you know but one thing that I always say I have an ankle that keeps the soul and that ankle has been holding me tight so now and he never disappoint me he always come true for me that's why I always say no one anywhere else can tell me that God does not exist trust God keep moving and everything will be all right yeah so the whole house is a four bedroom house so we have another room in here which I think it's it's very spacious right I think so very spacious yeah and all the rooms are in seats so if you have a family you can move in here with your family the third bedroom which is also in seats yeah so it's pretty much time yeah that's what it is man someone is saying what is your biggest fear in life I don't want to die without having an impact in the society I don't want to die without knowing that my life never impacted anyone I don't want to die without God man no I don't want to die without having Christ in me that is my biggest fear that's it why don't you like to drive a car you know what I don't have a car so I don't think I need to know how to drive or maybe I need to drive so that I will pray that I own a car someday is that what you're telling me um yeah that was just by the way but I'm just um I I feel like if I own a car I feel like car is not an investment car is just maybe a necessity something that you need right so at the end of the day when you own a car you'll be like hey I think there's a latest car in town let me go buy that one I was just trying to discipline myself I mean get all the necessary investment that I need to do and at the end of the day I'll go get myself a car I think right now it the time is due to get myself a car so probably you're going to see me driving and also I have mentors right who actually prevented me from buying a car I think I have three mentors who said you don't need it you don't need to I don't think this is the right time for you to own a car so because of that that's why you've never seen me driving and I always want love to sit in people's car but very soon you see me driving my own car yeah hold on the time will come so this is a visitor's the visitor's washing so people come and use and um yeah this whole area is definitely going to be your dining so you're gonna yeah eat in here if you want to so this is the this is the smallest room or the only room down here just want to slack because we've got staffs in there so it's locked and they're all in suits someone is asking how did you become who you are today hard work and trust the God the consistency and it's not easy I think people who knew me since I started this platform will be so proud of me people who saw my struggle days in China will be so proud of me like I started this journey with our Samsung guys too my whole life is vision right so I set target among like I set target like oh in the next year this is what I want to do the next two years this is what I want to do like I think when I got married a lot of people got shocked now it's part of my year plan to get married no matter what like I said DC has been a tough year but I still got married because it's part of my year plan so I don't joke I set target and when the time is right I need to make it happen that is what am I so for me I would say hard work resilient and I'm knowing why you started what you do that's what brought me this far and never forget God I don't want to tell you anything for me I think it's God's grace man thank you someone is saying you have proven that there are great places in Africa to live how are you doing today I'm fine my brother and thanks for asking someone is saying take care of yourself and your family thank you um mine is not going to be a question but a word of encouragement I just want to tell you that I love what you do thank you and if you also love what I do encourage me in the comment section because it's very important man if you are to rule the whole world what rule will you add to the world be nice to everybody no matter who you are I'm gonna add to it if you all can be nice to each other the world will be a better place for us all so I'm saying when are you going to the US I think connecting with your fans and the African diaspora will be great it's something that I'm planning that's one of the reasons why I even I bought the mission of going to the US yesterday because listen when I go to the US I know I've got a lot of audience in the US and when I come to the US I really want to meet each and every one of you so that I'll be able to tell your stories and connect them to Africans on the continent and not just the US and even in the Caribbean a lot of people are asking me how are you I'm fine thank you for asking how do you stay consistent with your passion without being bored doing the same thing over and over again I think meeting different people with different ideas doesn't make it boring imagine spending time with Casa Preco will you be bored and coming back home and spending time with my wife to create content will I be bored or even if I leave my wife home I go out and I meet another youtuber which for me my content is more like whatever is happening like I don't plan my videos there's no script attached to my youtube videos so I don't go with the script like the video I'm doing right now there's no script attached whatever comes into my mind that's what I say the rest of the work is on my editor so I hardly get bored of doing the same thing over and over I basically feel like I don't do the same thing over and over again because I always sit down think about what I need to do go out there and just go with the flow whatever comes out yeah voila that's how it's supposed to be someone is saying do you pay for your flights you're always flying you're blessed I don't travel alone I travel with two people and you know we pay for our own flight I mean I pay for it because I feel like sometimes when you want to work with brands right the brands tells you what to do the brands limit your freedom of speech the brands limit I mean limit your voice because sometimes you see something wrong you want to say now because you're working for a particular brand you can't say it right so I decided to pay for my own flight ticket that's what I do and I think it gives us the power to be free I mean freedom cannot be paid for right so I pay everything by myself man when are you visiting Uganda I want to visit Uganda again because the last time I went to Uganda I was deported but I would love to go back to Uganda because I've seen a lot of people who are farming in Uganda I would love to tell their story especially the doctor who is into pottery farming in Uganda your amazing brother and I love your videos and I can't wait to spend time with you do you have Christ in your life I mean do you worship God of course and I I'm not shy to let people know that I have Christ in me I don't know because my whole life man I don't know I don't know what will make me change my mind I know I've been meeting so many people who tells me that God does not exist Christianity is not real or Christ is a fairy tale you can believe in whatever you believe in I'm not here to challenge you but what I've seen what I've experienced I mean the encounter that I've had with God I mean the time that God has come through for me there's no way there's no day I'm going to stand somewhere and say that God does not exist I'm going to say that oh Christ is a fairy tale story yeah you can believe in whatever you believe in but don't force what you believe on me because I have what I believe in and I believe that what I believe in is taking me to all the places that I've been to yeah it's a living area probably your TV is going to be here and yeah your sofas are going to be here and you're going to have a great time when you buy this house contact the numbers on the screen to how much is your net worth I recently googled myself and I saw my net worth and I'm like hey are you in my pocket basically I can show you my account right now when I tell people that I'm broke they don't believe me so let me just show you guys how much I have in my account I have three account details and I'm going to show you guys that I'm the brokeest YouTuber alive I'm just going to be so real with you guys man see this is 3400 Ghana city this is my dollar account 0.04 and this is my another dollar account 0.32 believe me this money was just sent by Osheh Duke Jackson see this money that I have even in my account I had only 200 cities just now Osheh just sent me 3323 Osheh just sent me this money Osheh Duke Jackson thank you so much and this is what I'm saying our trips across Africa the last time I said thank you so much for clicking on this video please like this video it means a lot to me and don't forget to subscribe and turn on your post notifications so that any time we upload a video you'll be notified traveling in Africa is extremely expensive and we are trying our possible best to put Africa on the map please donate a dollar on our GoFundMe page or our Patreon page to support our African travels thank you so much and I appreciate you all people are like oh it's your work how do you expect us to give you a dollar and I'm like oh my god see support us we need it believe me or not even 50 cents can buy us water when we travel from one country to another like traveling in Africa just one ticket by myself yeah it costs not less than 900 or 1000 dollars one person this is not like round way this is one way imagine we three we go accommodation and everything and I told Africans that hey support our travels and somebody saying it's your work go work and get your own money to travel what can I do to help our motherland like you wow that's a very touching question I'm saying that we should all be part of the chain that we are looking for on the continent the continent needs all of us I mean come and visit survey around and you will definitely see the problem and when you see a particular problem you have to find a way of solving even one of them and I believe that it's going to go a long way I cannot tell you what to do believe me the continent needs industrial revolution believe me the continent need agriculture revolution the continent needs a lot of staff man even if you go to the villages it's extremely sad you see students studying and the trees and I would love to help but one person you can't do it all and this is why we plead in our government that hey take care of your own instead of taking care of yourself and your family members how is success built I'm really stranded over how life is all about I don't think I'm the best person to answer how success is being built success can be a very lonely journey I mean people will not understand your vision people will not understand your mission people misinterpret your mission but keep going and don't think that on your way to the top you can go with your friends supporting you hell now you're going all by yourself and you might meet people along the way but those people will come true for you but they won't be there forever they're more like a seasonal kind of people that were there to support you to go to the next stage I don't know man when will you visit Eritrea I think next year will be in Eritrea because next year we're traveling to a lot of countries two weeks in every country but I mean visa access to Eritrea is a bit tough so if you can help us let me know you can send me an email and then we're going to take you from there just want to let you know Africa is proud of you and your team thank you and I'm more proud of my team because they do all the work for me all I do is to come here and talk and they take over from there but next year you will see a lot from us why is Africa so poor that we can't unite to rule our various countries well anytime I talk about unity of Africa I get sad because I don't know why we can't unite as a continent I don't know if you guys are seeing what is happening all the time it's Africa US summits Africa China summit Africa Russia summit Iran Africa summit but even them they know that individual countries are not powerful unless we come together collectively you know as Africa but yet we are not ready to sit down and say let's make Africa a country so that we'll be powerful trade among ourselves because if we trade among ourselves the world will be scared Africa will be a powerhouse I know that for sure because imagine trading oil with Nigeria imagine trading oil with South Sudan imagine trading gold from Ghana imagine Ivory Coast and Ghana trading cocoa imagine Kenyans bringing their what do you call it their flowers to Ghana imagine they got fresh milk from Namibia Namibian got meat imagine them bringing their meat to Ghana or taking it to Nigeria listen the world will be scared of us but I don't know why the leaders are not thinking about that but someday the generation that we are right now will definitely make it happen I don't know why I didn't know this man man George I eat it I was researching about him recently and he said the current generation of Africa are the cheetah generation they are willing to put Africa on their back and run with it be a cheetah generation because Africa is behind you and carry Africa to the right place and the whole world will come and see the Africa that they've never seen before what is your most favorite things about being married I think marriage actually keeps me focused in terms of being focused on achieving set goals yeah I mean anytime you go out anytime you travel you always want to come back because you know that you have a wife at home I don't know what is the favorite thing about it but I think marriage is beautiful man waking up knowing that you got your best friend beside you legally I think I got a lot of questions someone is saying would you like to work as an aeronautical engineer in the near future in any country if the opportunity opens up I don't know if you guys know that I'm professionally I'm aeronautical engineer I started practicing for a year until I decided to call it a quits to focus on my passion but I don't think why I am right now I really want to work for anyone else again because I mean being an engineer and that would be cool yeah solving problems but I don't think I'll be the first guy to build a new plane I mean they've built the plane already right I think for me I always want to make impact in people's life yeah I always want to inspire the world right but I feel like being an engineer is just from one place to another how am I going to inspire the world so I think the calling that I found on being a YouTuber speaking to people every day I mean meeting new people I think it's enough and through that I've been able to build my own business so engineering what will you advise people who wants to move to Ghana or any other African country say before you move travel to the country do your own research I mean figure it out if this is the right place for you to move because you cannot move in the year and say that oh I gave up I'm going back to my country that's not how it works so I normally tell people Africa is huge we have 54 countries on the continent don't just come and say that you want to live in Ghana no there are so many countries but you can even travel five or six countries and then pick your favorite one and move to that country this is the advice that I always tell people being a village boy now sitting beside millionaires are worthy people by the blessings of Almighty God what comes into your mind as a village boy like me I normally thank God anytime I meet successful people that I know and believe that even in 50 years of my lifetime I won't be able to meet such people so I believe that God's grace has been sufficient enough in my life it's not by my deeds that's why these people are opening up to you because when I met the owner of Kasaprako you know what you told me he's like Maya I don't grant interviews but I'm doing this interview because of him and I was like what have I done it's just God's grace in your life when I met innocent mortals I did the video you know what he called after the video he called me he said my son I'm like yes he said let me tell you something you look so small but you are mighty what you have done I've paid so much money and they couldn't do it you know and you don't expect me to say that oh I did all this to him by myself even when I'm interviewing people I don't even know the next question to ask them because I used to get scared I used to shiver when I meet successful people you have no idea I mean some some of you will be like oh Maya was not prepared for this interview yes I was not prepared but I ended up even sitting down with them was a bit shaky I mean you can spend time with somebody who owns mansions who owns properties and you you ask yourself you don't even have a car you're sitting down with these people but I'll always say God has been faithful to me and I will always give him the glory no matter where I find myself I mean especially when I meet people telling me that oh I came to Africa because of your videos I would say thank you but I know it's God using me to call his people back home you won't believe that when I'm shooting a YouTube video I don't know what I'm going to say you won't believe that when I'm shooting a video I don't know what is the next way that is going to come out of my mind all I do I stand in front of the camera and I say God your servant is right in front of you speak through me and most of you will listen and be like oh my god I changed my mind I want to move to the corner it's not what a Maya yes yeah but whenever you're praying pray for me because I feel like God has given me a job that is way bigger than me but the journey is long but we'll go together no matter what happens Maya after being a YouTuber you're going to work in a real estate for yourself no my wife will be a real estate developer I have a bigger goal than just being on YouTube yeah been on YouTube was a step but I really want to impact in a lot of people's life I really want to change the way the world see Africa I really want to change the lives of Africans guess what I want to be after YouTube I've got like four years remaining and right after four years I'm not going to let you guys know the plan but there are bigger things ahead no real estate real estate yeah it's going to be a side job my wife is going to take care of that you've traveled to too many countries in Africa which country inspired you either its people or development and what is your advice to the African youth so I've been to 25 African countries and each and every country is unique in its own way but one of the countries that I loved and I appreciate so much is Rwanda and Namibia why because the system works in these countries Namibia got the best roads in the whole of Africa which I believe that a lot of African countries needs to start investing in road development so that our food will not get spoiled right because see some countries to from the farm to the house by the time you get to the house the whole food is being destroyed I mean we need to learn to travel within our own countries via road of which some of countries you can't boast of that Rwanda because it's a cleanest country in Africa and I wish so many countries can learn from Rwanda or emulate what Rwanda and Namibia has been able to do it's saying that it's people country the nicest people I think I'll go for Nigeria people are so hospitable I think anytime I go to Nigeria I feel like I'm a celebrity of which I don't even feel like that in my own country so I mean hospitality I give it to Nigerians and when it comes to infrastructure in terms of more skyscrapers I'll give it to Kenya how do you manage all the hate comment and some misconception of your content first of all when it comes to hate comment right I'm already used to it I used to live in China I mean the country that when you upload a video I say 30 percent of the comment I hate comment so I grew a tough skin before coming to Africa so whatever people do for me all I do is I keep quiet and I listen to you right I mean you can insult me you can say whatever you want to say that what am I has done this I feel like silence is the best option for you all so I keep quiet I would never come in here to explain myself because I know that there is no truth in what you're saying because there's so many things that have happened to me on YouTube people know that when they come out to say something about Maya they're gonna get views right so they just take advantage of it every day what am I has done this to the extent that people are going to a stream of forging that I impregnated them and I'm like Jesus Christ of Nazareth I mean this is how extreme people can go so for me even if you write a hate comment I always want to see a positive content out of your negative comment that is me because I always make people's negative remarks become my source of what motivation or inspiration I can go back a bit like when I used to live in China my own class made laugh at me because of a YouTube video my own friends used to laugh at me because of a YouTube video because I create YouTube content how do you think I was able to survive because I made those laughing remarks became my source of motivation you're not perfect as a content creator but listen people will always talk you can say that hey I think the sky is blue and somebody say hey why are you lying the sky is black that is content creation I need to grow a tixkin for it if you are not ready to be on YouTube or if you are not strong don't come because listen people can't be going through a lot of tough time and it will just come on YouTube to insult you and when it gets to you do it forget it and even your fellow content creators that you're supposed to unite as one work together learn I mean learn among yourselves you know learn from each other you see your own content creators hating on you what are you going to do it's nothing you can't do you just have to relax be silent let them do their thing and believe me the end result is what matters um someone saying and some misconception of your content I think this is very important I think I've filmed a lot of videos that when the videos come out people have their own meanings to the content that you did I think my top one was the himba video people saying that oh you took advantage of them I didn't even monetize that video people were saying that I lied that the himba don't offer sex for tourists or whatever visitors listen the words did not come out of my mouth it came out from a himba guy's mouth what we read was when you come in here if you come to the himba village like as he just explained a man can give the wife to a friend my brother okay yo take care of him sexually is that true yes I went to Namibia again I asked exactly the same question to a Namibian uh himba guy and he said exactly the same we do it yes people were out there saying that I'm taking advantage of a tribe and all of that see no matter what you do people will always have something today get you used to that would you ever consider going into politics or being an ambassador or a diplomat I think I'm an unofficial ambassador for the continent whether they like it or not I'm doing what I can in my own way to change the negative narrative of Africa diplomats I don't know do you think I deserve a diplomatic passport I think I really deserve a diplomatic passport you don't think so and you ever go into politics we'll talk about that one later yeah I know and believe that someday I don't want to be a politician or something but I want to be that guy who has influence to change things in a country what do you want to do once you travel all the african countries I think I will sit back bring more people to continue where I left on one platform that's incredible right a lot of questions geez how often do you burn out as a content creator currently I'm I'm burned out currently I'm burned out and how do you handle it I take some time off just like what I'm doing so yeah and my final question what is your biggest dream this question was asked by venice academy my biggest dream is to see africans traveling from one country without a passport I want to see africans traveling from different african countries even with a passport but not visas I want to see africans investing in different african countries I want to see africans trading among themselves I want to see africans marrying among themselves I want to see africans removing barriers I want to see africans seeing themselves as one I want to see africans knowing that africa belongs to them there's time for them to cherish it do you cherish africa are you doing your possible best change the narrative of africa what are you doing to help develop africa my name is water maya and I hope I've tried I think I've answered not most but some and I know that I'll be back here again to answer more questions feel free like this video subscribe and be part of this awesome channel and also if you're looking for a house to buy in Ghana buy this house yeah I've reduced the price and listen it costs a lot of money and I don't intend to make more money out of this it's a luxury property and I know and believe that it's going to be a good investment I'll see you all in the next one I am everywhere thank you that's that's that's why I'm telling you guys I need to plant fruits in there because you need you need this are you from water region but he planted all the trees this is from water region yes you see I know the taste that this is from water region it's like you're you're a botarian yeah I love this listen if you want
