Sometimes I'm a positive person and I hardly share the struggles, but since we finally hit a million, I just want to tell you guys my story, how I started from zero to a million subscribers, are you all ready to hear from me, do me a favor, like the video, it's very important for me, subscribe and be part of this awesome. And you know what, let the story begin. Why are you moving to Africa, welcome to the largest country in East Africa, you are wondering how did I get here, it was a great struggle, listen, all I want to tell you is that believe in yourself, be yourself and you'll be able to achieve whatever you set your mind on and this is what I did. I created my channel in January 2013, I didn't create a channel because I wanted to become a YouTuber, I created a channel just because I wanted to comment on a video of two young Ganyans living in America, dancing and showing off every single day. And their names are Apush and Buggerjh, a big shout out to these two guys and I believe that they actually inspired my Jenny, that's why I'm giving them a shout out. But our first YouTube video, first guy, I started my video with, my first video was with this guy, do you know that? I am Maya, and he's the one behind the whole, what a Maya YouTube channel, I am Maya. I can't believe that I'm seeing him here man, I was sleeping, let me tell you something, you guys don't know, I was sleeping and this guy came and was like, hey, let's go shoot some YouTube video man. Listen, we're just boredom because in China, when it's vacation, we all have to stay in our rooms and then people that have money travel, I was a broke guy, so I had to stay in my room and Asari came and said, let's go and shoot a video. I mean, Asari has no idea about cameras, so we had one guy who is from Nigeria, who was the only videographer we had on campus. So we went out, filmed our first video that you seen on the screen, and listen, after we filmed the video, it took us three months before they edited that video that you see, and they gave me back the video. And when they gave me the video, it was not a video that I wanted to put on YouTube, but since they gave me the video, I just wanted to save the video, I wanted to start the video somewhere because I never had a pen drive. So YouTube was an alternative for me to save the video, and that's where the whole journey began. When I uploaded the video on YouTube, just to save it, I started sending the videos to my friends and they were like, oh, that's funny. Then I decided to continue making YouTube videos, and that is why I used my first experience in China as my first YouTube video. This video that you seen right here, it's a rough story, and I dated my own friend Tony Megabush from Zimbabwe, a big shout out to you Tony, and I can't wait to see you in Zimbabwe. I mean, when I started doing all of that, I think a lot of people enjoyed it and trust me, I never had a phone, I never had a camera, I always had to beg people to film a YouTube video for me, and the guy who was filming my YouTube video for me passed on. Can you believe it? May your soul rest in perfect peace. He passed on and everything just shut down. Six months later, I told myself that, you know what, I really have passion for this and I really want to continue, and this is what he's saying today. It took me two years to put myself together, to hit one case subscribers. Some of you, I can even give you a shout out today and you're here to thank me. But personally, it took me two years to get one case subscribers. And when I got one case subscribers, once again, a big shout out to a doctor from Ethiopia who was living in America. He saw me and said, I know you have a great future and I want to be part of that future. So you know what, I'm going to buy you a camera. That was the first time I had a camera. This camera was bought by a YouTube subscriber. It's Canon 700D and in fact, it's brand new. It's also brand new. You see the box I just unboxed today and everything is here. I don't know how to express, I don't know how to tell this guy. But before that, tell me on my ask, what were you shooting your videos with? Can you believe that I bought a microphone without having a camera? So I had a mic and when I see someone who has a camera, I'll just put my mic in it. And I was like, yo, can you help me film a video? And that's when I met my best Chinese friend. He was a photographer and he was like, you know what? I will be your personal camera guy only if I'm not busy taking pictures. So anytime this guy is free, I will carry my microphone and go with him and then we'll go shoot a YouTube video. And that's how I built my channel from that 57 subscribers to 1K. And then I took over when the Ethiopian guy bought me the camera. My first video went viral. And that is where I ended up getting 9,600 subscribers right after graduation. I got entered in 2017, had my 1K, my 9,600 subscribers and at the end of the day, I told myself that this is something that I really want to do. I continued and I lost my dad in April 2017. That also shut down everything. And when I was supposed to come for my dad's funeral, I had to sell my camera that was bought for me by someone in order to raise money to come for my dad's funeral. I know that the journey hasn't been easy. I did that and at the end of the day, I need to talk about my dad, I get emotional. The video must continue. I did that and I went back to China. And once again, I had a Chinese friend who used to give loans. So somebody actually came for a loan and he deferred the loan. The guy used his camera as a collateral. And the guy was my best Chinese friend and he was like, you know what, I'm going to give you this camera but you have to pay in instalment. I really love the fact that so many Chinese people supported my Jenny. One thing that he did for me that I will forever be grateful for was when I lost my dad. You know, I told you guys that I quit school, right? Yeah, but this guy gave me two years visa just to stay in China. He's the guy behind it. I don't know what to tell you guys but personally, when I wanted to move to Africa, when I wanted to come in here, most of the Africans that I knew never supported the idea of coming back to Africa. Never supported the idea of saying that, oh, let me support this brother with your dollar because it was a struggle, man. But I really wanted to do this. Once again, a big shout out to my ex-girlfriend. I don't know, most of you definitely know her, Candice. She was my camera lady. She sometimes hosted the YouTube video. She sometimes found our trip to just go make YouTube videos. Until everything just got sorted. But at the end of the day, life must continue. So we had to go our separate ways. And from there, I moved to Africa. And moving to Africa changed my life. And I just want to say that if you subscribe to my channel after I moved to Africa, I want to say thank you for believing in me. Thank you for believing in this young, annoying village boy from Ghana. You know what, I'm just going to stop here and let's continue right after this. If you see me chilling with the big boys, please don't envy me. If you see me flying first class courtesy of Ethiopian Airlines, please don't envy me. If you see me living in presidential suite courtesy of Raya Sentchi, please don't envy me. If you see me living in this mansion courtesy of star property, please don't envy me. If you see me wearing slippers courtesy of water mire, please don't envy me. The journey has been real. Moving to Africa was one of the biggest risk I've ever taken. And that risk was really worth it. I came to Africa on a loan because I know and believe that promoting Africa was my calling. And yet, my African friends never supported this. I'm going to say this over and over again until my Chinese guy saw me and is like, we've been together for five good years and I believe in your dreams. I see you are a hard-working guy. You know what? Please don't disappoint me. Let's use this credit card, buy the ticket. Please, when you go, come back and let's pay the loan. And that's what we did. And I was scared doing that, but I knew that I have to go back to Africa. When I came, I first landed in Ethiopia at Disababa once again. That's why Ethiopia is so dear to my heart because the guy who bought me a car is from Ethiopia. My first ever YouTube video from Africa was from Ethiopia. So, Ethiopia lives in my heart, man. Someday, we're going to take over the African Union, mark it on the wall. And listen, I came to Ethiopia and first of all, I've also met the love of my life. The woman of my dreams, do I have to say that? The girl that I will be marrying very soon, that's why I met her. And I think everything was planned, man. Like, this was meant to happen. I did my first video in Ethiopia, I moved on to Rwanda and that video of sitting in the gutter went viral. And that video changed my life. All I did was, I called my friend back in China and I told him that, hey, we paying back the loan. I went back to China again, packed all my stuff and then moved back to Africa and I've never looked back. Once again, I just want to say that thank you so much for believing in me. Thank you so much for subscribing to my YouTube channel. Thank you so much for nurturing me because listen, I always tell you guys that if you see me going wrong, send me an email because I'm not perfect. I'm just a young guy who is on a journey to change the narrative. I might be wrong in so many ways but don't forget to criticize me. I mean, I love criticism because criticism makes me do better. Most of you don't even know that. Most of you don't even know that this whole entrepreneurship series that I brought was out of criticism and that alone changed my life. And those videos is bearing the fruit of what you're seeing behind me. Those videos is what is bearing that real estate that I'm doing because I met people that mentored me. I met people that inspired me. I met people that shaped my journey. So if you see me here today, don't envy me. If you see me here today, just be happy for me because the journey has been real. We finally hit a million. We finally got Ghana's first gold plaque. I just want to say a big shout out to Stickers GH. He came into the scene when I had 300K and we've been doing it. So we hit a million. And I believe that now that we've expanded, now that we have five more people that are going to edit our videos for us we're going to be bringing you guys video every single day.

I really appreciate each and every one of you. I'm so sorry for whatever that has happened. We all live in Ghana so we should get used to this. This house, it's not my house by the way. This house is for each and every one of you in here. I just realized that there are a lot of people who would love to create content, but they don't have phones. They don't have laptops and all of that. So I decided to sign a contract with Star Property to give us this house for free. So we are not paying anything. So the most important thing is whatever idea that you have, just walk in here. You can also run in here. And then come and shoot the video that you want to shoot. That's it.
