Is it true that "Ghana is leasing land to Black Americans because they need money." ? We can't own it/own anything?!

Keep & Lease ...hell even my prior notion of cheap/free don't give a reasonable picture of how land stewardship worked in most African societies. Land isn't "owned" by any one person. It is presided over by the locals and allocated for various uses by them. This is why it seems like land is "free" when actually it is the duty of the local rulers to allocate land. If someone says hey I want to put up a farm, restaurant, school, hotel, house, etc and they think the enterprise is useful then the land is allocated.
Exclusive access to land, in order to mine for minerals or something would likely cost you. But similar to fishing(noone owns the lake just what you pull out the lake) if you ask to mine nonexclusively it likely wouldn't cost much. The above is before accounting for government regulations/permits, greedy "traditional rulers", ...or normal worker costs paid to locals during construction(land might be "free" but you still gotta pay for construction)
Those Land Tenor practices came forward to current times.
Below deals with Congo and it worked similar in other places as well...

I am pretty sure you can not own land as a non citizen, only lease it in Ghana. Other countries have similar restrictions.
Land is tribal you probably have massive hoops to actually own the land outright

property taxes? not the same brother
If you don't pay you lose a house you paid on in full.
You pay rent on land to the government!
