AA’s are going to Africa, while Africans are willing to do anything to make it to the U.S. AA’s need continue moving forward and stop looking backwards. Realize that you have privilege being an American and take advantage of everything America gives to you for FREEEEEE. They slack off in America thinking running to Africa is going to comfort them then they are hit in the face with reality.
Blaming Black Americans who make up less than 1% of the Ghanaian population is Ridiculous! Ghanaians are very welcoming and don’t force foreigners to adapt to their ways. The people of Ghana only ask expats to RESPECT the country and culture, which the MAJORITY of African Americans do! Trust me if you come with a superiority complex, Ghana will HUMBLE you FAST! Ghana is a great place to live and vacation 🇬🇭
Wait, who's blaming what? Also have a little more respect for your culture. We're not forcing anyone, but you shouldn't be encouraging people to come in and make no effort to integrate either.
its less than .01%. the average Ghanaian(especially outside of Accra) who has never traveled abroad has never even met an african american in their life.
I am a Ghanaian watching from abroad been always interested in my motherland. I like this lady's open mindset. She is a free spirit and her attributes will definitely lift her to higher heights in Ghana(Africa).
Great topic and excellent contribution. I’m AA and totally agree with the African Superstar. I think the way for survival for the diaspora community is assimilation when going back to Africa. We have too much baggage from our abusive experiences in the west. The best we can do is swallow our pride and relearn how to be African.
Connecting back to our roots and ATR is the first step. We’ve been told to “Go back to Africa” for so many years and a lot of us are doing just that. My fiancé is currently over in Africa on contract and our intention is to move to Kenya 🇰🇪. I’d much rather invest into our people than to be struggling for equality here in “America , land of the free”.
@@OhSoNita agreed. I think America is a cesspool of filth racism and immorality. Continued generations here only continues to pass on this unhealthy existence for us.
@@rosiehill5377 They see you as that because most Americans are afraid to actually dig deep into finding who they really are. What bloodline really runs through their veins. If majority were to actually participate in the rituals that they have in the villages they’d be lost. Not many African Americans know anything past the three main known Orishas. They haven’t studied the practices. Many African Americans don’t know anything about Yoruba Traditions.
Need to commend this lady for her perceptive insight into the situation. I (as a Nigerian) have been wondering about this massive returnee influx and how it can be facilitated. Thanks for your take. Happy settling in West Africa.
Great job sister, I really love how you've addressed all the issues in more intellectual manner and, open-mindedly. You seem to be ready to blend in and I wish you well!and in intellectual manner
Superstar is so on point so insightful as i too am on the continent and I truly believe their need to be a transitional phase for the diaspora especially african Americans we are so eff up it took me almost a six months to begin mentally healing
Yes and it needs to happen even to those that appear to have it together no matter their wealth! Our ppl are not okay! These folks have no idea about america NONE! literally psychological warfare.
You're welcome here to Ghana 🇬🇭 just make the TRANSITION that's that. Will guide you through lol .Cheers to the MOTHERLAND our Ancestral HOME, let eat our natural food and drink our natural drinks.
Lol we live happily and we're fine in Ghana. We party, we connect, we work and grow together. That's the lifestyle here. We don't force people here. And we're not forcing nobody to come. It's an invitation, you decide to honour it or not. Ghana is lit and we love love it❤
Long but necessarily long, but she sucked me in. Very informative, very well articulated, loved it. Yes, for me, mingling is key. Learning the culture, especially a local or two languages, is also key. Have met a Senegalese, Ghanaians and a few Nigerian. Was I excited, coming from the West Indies, having never met any, prior, feeling a kinship with them. I actually approached them all, the Nigerians I would invite them to lime with me to parties, clubs, roller discos. Great great memories. 🇨🇼🇨🇼🇨🇼🇩🇲🇩🇲🇨🇦
What's up Afrikan Superstar! It was great meeting you on the content with Sister Yaa. I love my Ghanaian brothers and sisters and miss being on the content. When we are on the continent we MUST gate keep our motherland and protect it from the wicked west ways and nasty culture. We must unite with our African brothers and sisters, understand each other and protect our future. I look forward to returning in the near future.
Oshay i would love to see you visit Ghana and interview with Bro. Wode ,show him and a lot of your supporters, come on brother shay step out of your confort zone for your people it's bigger than feelings...
I was having this conversation some weeks ago. If all of the Diaspora went back to the continent.....THEY WILL FOLLOW US. I agree, Oshay there is an OBSESSION with us.
Ghana has to get control of their country before westerner take over. The European people always have a agenda. Why can't the African Americans come to the Mother Land and embrace their culture instead of turning it into the Western World and violence is just the beginning. Praying for Ghana and other African Countries that are going through this transition. ❤🇺🇸
Black/African-Americans can’t connect because there’s no emotional, psychological, physical tie to Africa which requires discipline, empathy, grace, and understanding. Like she said it’s “trendy” to move to Ghana. That’s great for a certain period of time until reality sets in. As for the non-Africans/Disporans relocating to Ghana, good luck because eventually you’ll be stymied too and eventually rooted out.
Hello brothers and sisters I am Ghanaian leaving in Canada, I also leave in S.U.A before, what I know is black Americans are savers of Africans l am proud of them JAH guard
Thank you! We have some that want fast money only but they are not the majority. We call them Americanized and they can look like anything! Wealthy, poor, educator, unemployed, politician! We have one goal and that is actual liberation and a economic foundation for blk ppl globally with Africa exporting its own resources as a worldwide network
I just came from there and it ain’t no foreigners anywhere. I stayed for a yr. I saw about a total of 10 white folks and a few others. I stayed in Accra. I lived in Osu, Adenta, Achimota, Amasaman, Chado, East Lagon, Spintex, and Nema. I was only with the locals. She’s right about the emotional baggage from Diaspora’s. Her outlook is exactly right and how we’re supposed to think.
That 10 yt folks too many.I want to be somewhere on this planet where I don’t have to see Caucasians.Just to rest and be at peace ,not to be a militant or anything but just to have something that only we have.
@@mustafael-amin9163 you have thousands of ghanaians in the uk the us canada but a white american or british can't go to ghana? wtf is wrong with african americans like please leave your racist zillot mindset in america please
We should reduce it to less than that. I think ghana and most of africa should ban whyte people. As in they're not allowed to immigrate or travel there without explicit permission. That's the case in europe and america. You can't immigrate or travel into either places unless it's for vacation or you won residency lottery. Moving to africa should be just as difficult for them as it is for us to move to "the west". They're not going to bring us anything good anyways
A saw relatively large group of Indians in Ghana. More Indians are moving into Ghana. Indians aren’t known for their love and respect for Black people. African Super Star is right in the sense that Ghana’s demographic is changing with the increase of non Blacks. The richest Ghaniani is a non-black person, which is a disgrace. The non-blacks are there for early financial opportunities. Where I disagree with her is the fact that, foreign blacks do not have to become Ghanaians because they are living or doing business in Ghana. Many other non-blacks are and were in Ghana for a very long time. No one is forcing those non-blacks to integrate into Ghanaian culture. Those people are using the money made in Ghana to invest in the West or send their kids to the best schools in the West.
She's giving some insightful information and she has a healthy perspective of the situation. The government needs to set laws protecting the rights of the natives, as well as fair land and housing prices so it is affordable for the natives. I agree with her about there needing to be a cultural awareness training for the African Americans when they get there. There also needs to be history classes for the Africans about the Transatlantic Slave trade and the history of the europeans.🦋👍🏿💯
What makes you think Africans don't know the history of Europeans when we were literally impacted by them? This is condescending honestly. We had colonialism and genocides in many countries across this continent, so we know what white supremacy and imperialism is. It's our own history too. A few people here and there not knowing a few things doesn't mean anything. The trans atlantic slave trade is known by many Africans, and of course Ghanaians themselves. What?
I Agree. Wowwww they don’t know about Atlantic Slave Trade. But yea Exactly Britain sent over the Education Books. Just like Us in America ALL if Our History we’re Changed to Europeans Pictures I won’t say All Erases because it is still in Harvard Law Library Books and is in the Library of Congress and in the Britain Museum Britain Universities
That’s why she should concentrate on being an activist more so than a artist because the way things are going from what she described,she will only see white ppl in her shows.
We know our history and slavery... These things are taught in schools.. We know our forefathers sold you all for guns and wine. We just don't make it our national anthem and cos it's history... 😂
A law need to pass in Africa for all outsiders also African Diaspora who is coming back to integrate into the country so their won't be a problem later on .Africa belongs to Africans,keep a watchful eyes on the outsiders.
Imagine if Africans had this same outlook when coming to America! Instead of listening to yt voices actually spoke to our verified boots on the ground leaders??? There is a difference in who the yt man promotes, who sits on podcast, and who is actually out here making major chance locally!
@@dwyneworld9645we would love us to be one people, but we are not! Just look at Gambia, Nigeria, Rwanda, all these black countries are very different. Look at how the blacks are treated in Namibia. Every country has to solve their own problem. Look at Russia and the Eukraine, there are all white but they are killing each other. What do you do? Should they not say we are all white let's stop killing each other, just my thoughts, I could be wrong
Ummm let's not go there. This is going to cause anger and resentment. Some of us are still wondering why we were left here in the 1st place. So think about that when ypu make these statements
I have a honest question. Do the Europeans and Asians interact with the locals in Ghana? I never been. I been to Tanzania, Rwanda, My father’s country ( Mozambique not many Diasporans there), and South Africa. In Rwanda, Tanzania, and South Africa, Black Americans Definitely integrate with the locals on all levels
i am a Ghanaian and we've always had foreigners in our country. we had a lot of caucasians living in the affluent part of the country some left in the 80's we never had big issues with them. we have syrians, lebanese, koreans in Ghana long before the diasporans started coming here my childhood best friend is half lebanese half ghanaian. we in ghana are used to foreigners as long as they dont cause problems.
On all levels? You meant they interact in the local dialect too or English? Cos most black Americans don't understand Swahili so can you be specific and real pls!
@@dawnofthe7trumpets How are you going to tell me about my experience? My wife learned Swahili in like 9 months. A local woman who we hired used to tease me, because my Swahili wasn’t as polished as my wife’s. When I was in Arusha and Mwanza where I spent the most time African Americans were definitely integrated
Thank you for sharing your experience. Your learned point of view is rational and reasonable. It points the pathway for newcomers to the continent to make the transition in a way that can be mutually beneficial.
Two great examples of African Americans doing great things in Ghana 1. Built LuccaHealth Medical Specialty Center in Accra, Ghana 2. Built the African Ancestry Wall in Carboo Kope prampram-Ningo
@@TheDebunker2050 I'm definitely Eumelanin dominant rich with wooly hair misnomer black American. Nothing against Africans but we have never been from Africa. Always on North American soil. Just because your ignorant and simple minded has nothing to do with me being a troll or nonsense. That nonsensical perspective you're trying to narrate is bullocks as the Brits say. We are us and y'all are y'all and it's highly evident. We are not your people and the vice versa
The Ghanaian government MUST set standards to protect native Ghanaian and other blacks who migrated to Ghana from racism and financial exploitation. We CANNOT allow Caucasians who prevented blacks from moving into their communities in America & Europe to come to Ghana and practice their WICKED ways in Ghana. Black Americans who migrated to Ghana MUST educate the natives. When I was 9 years old (1963)in the Caribbean I saw black Americans marching off a bridge in Alabama and was beaten with batons by the police, water hosed by the fire department, and bitten by the police dogs. To this day there is OPEN violence against blacks by the police and the Hillbillies, yet their people want to follow us into OUR countries as though their presence is WANTED. The Ghanaian government and its people MUST monitor non-black immigrants to ensure they are not being racist to our people and that they are not exploiting them financially.
INDEED! THERE SHOULD BE A LIMIT AS TO HOW MUCH OF THE LAND AND BUSINESSES ARE OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY NON-BLACK FOREIGNERS! THERE SHOULD BE CERTAIN INDUSTRIES THAT IS RESERVED ONLY FOR THE DIASPORA AND GHANIANS FOR INVESTMENT! THIS SHOULD BE THE LAW IN ALL AFRICAN COUNTRIES! NO EXCEPTIONS!
@@williamhanson4154 Central Africa is the greenest Congo Angola.. not the west..East Africa is very very green in Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Burundi and Uganda.However they all need better leaders period.
I’m in Uganda right now, and it is absolutely the most beautiful country to me.. I’m originally from Guyana SA and live in the US. I love Uganda. I’m in tears because I have only 5 days remaining of my 3 weeks visit. I now Ugandan, love the hospitality of the people and the humility. The roads are very bad, but I see so much potential. It is truly the Pearl of Africa. Come visit Uganda 🇺🇬.
In Rwanda, President Kagame doesn’t play and the Non-Black foreigners don’t walk around arrogantly and behave. I absolutely love the vibe in Rwanda, btw. Not as much as my father’s country of Mozambique (the fish and beaches are to die for in Moz😫)
Thanks for some insight into Rwanda. I've been looking at Pres. Kagame and Rwanda. Looking for a African Country That has A Black Empowerment/Conscious Mindset........
Why are Black Americans always disparaging one another because they not doing what you're doing. She make herself the perfect element of a diasporan in Ghana while bashing her own people into revulsion.
I wanted to go to Cape Coast for spiritual reasons, to bring my Ancestors back home through me. But due to my age and disability, I cannot take that trip. I haven't been to Ghana since 85. They don't know what we know about the people. But I think I will be going to Kenya or South Africa. Maybe Ghana, I am not young anymore. Love You all for the information you give, you all are so lucky, and with a cell phone and social media you know what going on in the diaspora and Africa.
I love this lady right there in her perspective. Because I've been saying this all the time about going into a country and learning the rules, way of life and not going there trying to impose your views on native people that been living there. People need to humble going into foreign land. There's a saying in Ghana 🇬🇭: Be Humbled or you'll get Humbled Side note: Obroni actually means White people
@@blessings4life Just because we're allowing other black people in doesn't mean there can't be rules. It doesn't mean we're looking for trouble makers. That should and will be part of the our immigration policy. That's why i don't support automatic citizenship based on african heritage. Plenty of people have the wrong mindset, including non-black people. I'm more worried about those populations
@@TheSub-SaharanAmericanLegend Of course she does. 😄😄 Many africans and other black groups do. That's what we're good at is hating each other. Btw what you said should be taken as a lesson by africans who go to america as well. To not needlessly and unnecessarily disrespect or attack black americans in their land in america. Because unfortunately that happens often. Everyone can have their opinions and criticisms, but some people go out of their way to be disrespectful and cause trouble in america for black americans
@blackblaze5271 Many Africans try to befriend Black people in America, but they push them away or try to make fun of them, thinking they are superior to Africans due to Xenophobe Some Black people do their best to alienate Africans by telling them, "You're not one of us." I know many Africans told me by this experience. There's 2 sides of the coins here on this topic on what you're saying regarding disrespect. You can't just ignore that side of it. There should be balance and mutual respect towards each other because both group can really benefit greatness to each other, but both are losing their blessings
‼️🤔📚📖 She contradicted herself throughout the entire video. And there’s a sense of helping the divides that she just said the westerns that are traveling there to “monitor” and surveil as diaspora repatriates, are doing. “Connecting” happens in many ways, familiar assumptions can become MORE roadblocks; as allowing the components of gentrification can do as well. So, perhaps the diaspora that she’s referring, is in fact trying to contribute in significant ways, but the lack of “gatekeeping” and direct support, may deter.. 🤔 Fruitful. From NYC, love to all. Bless.
Totally agree with her sentiment about the reasons/inspiration for some from our community travelling to Ghana in particular. There definitely was a predominate element of folks who travelled to Ghana (and elsewhere on the continent) in search of economic opportunities, and to a much lesser degree, a cultural re-awakening. Seems motivational factors usually boils down to a few pursuits: cash, culture or cache. Time will tell which will dominate. (Yes… the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc also has a Chapter in Ghana)
I THINK THAT IF ANY NONE BLACK DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANY LOCAL PERSON SHOULD HAVE ALL ASSETS SEIZED AND KICKED OUT OF THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA IMMEDIATELY THAT WILL STOP THAT
That's a bit extreme. Why specify this treatment for none blacks only ? So, a black person from the diaspora taking advantage of locals is fine with you?
@@sylviasworld9397We are focused on you white folks because we know your ways. You always have evil agenda. Nothing good ever comes out if you guys. You only think of exploiting. It's in your blood
She is nailing this interview. I stayed with two other diaspora’s. One loved the country but couldn’t see themselves bringing an input but wanted the Ghanaians to do it themselves, like they understood what our accommodations are. The other one had been there 5x and had no respect for the culture, the people, the language or anything. All she wanted was money and to enforce all to accommodate to her needs alone. She was horrible, so much so that I separated myself from them and did my on thing and had a blast by myself and the locals. Made my own friends and connects etc. anyway she is right on.
tekenta-neter7944 I'm seeing this a lot but not necessarily with the black americans living in ghana, more so the ones visiting or talking about visiting. Some portion seem to want the locals who are struggling themselves to create a life for them. And not even one where they contribute. I don't understand why you wouldn't want to build up a country you've chosen to live in. If you don't want to do that then you're just going to have to settle with living in an apartment or hotel and paying till you maybe run of money of find some kind of job and make it work. Other people can't live your life for you. It's wild to me that some would expect some kind of welfare system from the local people in third world countries instead of building together and having everyone succeed. Some of these people want everything built and already made. Basically zero to no contribution to where they live. Not very pro-black or pan african, even though that's usually the reason many people give for coming
@@Jay-ld2oc That shouldn't happen. Those africans have a problem and a colonized mindset. People will go back and forth with you and claim the africans are innocent, but really there's no justification for it, it's mostly just prejudice and black selfhate.
@@Jay-ld2ocAmerica is not a black American land, and no foreigners can take anything from you because you don’t own anything. This sentiment you have is why I don’t want black Americans in Africa. I’ve lived in America and I have experienced the REAL black Americans and they will only destroy Africa if Africans allow them. Money hungry and love division.
This sista is spot on and she is correct about Ghana and other black African countries need to have parameters for foreigners including the black diaspora visitors who plan to stay awhile.
Several youtubers have accused Mark of been an agent. He is not from a wealthy family and very young and was able to move to Africa and sustain himself without a job and without a wealthy family. He is now getting money from his youtube channel, but before that, where was this young man getting money from?
@@piyesankara890 Sweetheart, by the pocket you will know what their agenda is. Just follow the money, and you will get all the answers of who are the people trying to destroy Africa.
They've been getting a certain type of visitors. Once people of a certain mind state start going over there and realize how much the people over there love and are moved by money and how corrupt they are over there. It's sad to say they will take it to another level that the locals have never seen before. So they better keep themselves in check about the corruption because a certain element will show them how to really be corrupt.

Thanks for your very profound truth we african americans need to study more of our motherlands history and become more politically astute..i choosed to arrive in another part of the motherland and bridged with a family to help build a store ,which was very much needed in the community and in turn the family gave me land to build my future home....im still not convinced that we africans have yet to create the political and economic community that justly serves the collective. Im on my 6x trip with the plan to maintain arriving as an asset and not an liability...if you have petty bourgeoisie behavior you dont need to arrive to our motherland, you will only serve the colonial agenda of divide and conquer..
Now you know damn well African American women aren't interested in that. At least most of African American men capable of leaving are our intellectuals since the ghetto thugs are too poor or have felonies that prevent them.
This woman has really understand the Ghanaian community,Culture and everything.She has so much information that most Ghanaians are not even aware of.Any Black Americans planning to relocate to Africa and for that matter Ghana should contact her for a great deal of advise.She really nailed the interview hands down 👌

@@valmal2659 since you called me a liar I did a little more research. Old dirty poor Cape town had more Homicides than the Four largest US cities combined in 2022.

'The Afrikan Superstar ' made some valid points... It will take time to acclimate just as two siblings separated for a long time would relate... (And with baggage). Hopefully time and the next generation will make a difference. Also agree with the point of both locals and the diaspora doing their homework.
Also Oshay is right. The diasporan community in Ghana is more established and working better than the others in the different part of the continent. So when she said its hard to get support from the diasporan community to start a project or complete its true but she need to specify which diasporan group. Becuase there is so many groups out there that have worked together and executed projects. Such like the Hebrew Israelites, the Atlanta group who have massive investments in faming in the central and Ashanti region. The Chicago group and the Caribbean association group. And there is others out there that I know of and don't know of.
This waa a good interview. Communication is the key. We must unite, I was shocked to learn about the amount of Europeans who have flooded in, but inam.not surprised.
The reality is, Africa does thing right, and a lot of things bad, and as an American and traveler, and when you have experience and world perspective, it can and will be frustrating, especially when the simplest things to you, are extremely difficult or they don't exist at all. The other issue, is competition and possibly people having more attention than they are use to and becoming territorial, within those community which will lead to the creation of a toxic environment. Africa is for the Africans. Everyone else had to adjust to the level of the community they are on or visiting or pay for the comfort that does exist, but not for everyone. Africa has many levels and many spaces, good, to great, explore, and find yours if you intend on staying, and of course have the means to do so, but keep. and open mond and a open pocket, because there's a cost, and most of the time it's unreasonable, but the trade-off is the African experience and the spark of imagination of what it could be, because you come from a place that's better, but, you come to Africa because it's different. It's a choice, and sometimes a privilege, and if you have the means, simply enjoy the experiences, the inconveniences, the challenges, and know that you're alive, and we'll, "This is Africa"! Be safe, be smart, be courteous, and respectful of the cultures that you interact with. 😊
These Lebanese have been abusing africans in Lebanon for decades and still disrespecting Africans in our own countries. What's going on with us Africans ? How come people who abuse us in their countries continue to discriminate us in our own lands and no action is taken to stop or deport all of these people
Exactly. Also, let’s not forget that these same Lebanese can not make it in their own country because it’s a failed state yet they are VERY rich in West Africa.
I love her insight. I married a Ghanaian and we plan to move to Ghana in the next couple of years. The culture and people are amazing and I love learning Twi, eating the food, and being amongst all the beautiful Ghanaian people. It does upset me when I visit and see more Europeans/Asians because being from the states Ghana is like my refuge from racism and being a minority. I pray Ghana continues to prosper. 💜
Tell that to the government and the ghanaians that are in love with other groups. We're asking black americans to come but then some of us will also be inviting the people who caused their problems to follow. It doesn't make much sense. Not sure if we think these things through. A lot of black seem to just act
I'm a Ghanaian and I think this woman is so right in what she is saying, I think diasporians need to listen and learn or they will ruin the whole transitional move.
As a African man, Specifically in Mozambique, I think it is necessary to create an association of Afro-Americans that has a leader and from there to get in touch with the local government to design approximation policies
We have a couple in more than two regions of Ghana, the reason you don't know because you are listening to RUclips heads who never really engage with the community here
There's not alot of Black Americans going to Ghana or Africa especially not to live but yet it's getting more trendy to blame us and complain about the very small population who went there already lol it's best for Black Americans to focus on building our own ethnicity not trying to fit in with other people that's clearly not the same as us nor support our best interests like these Pan Africanists play mental gymnastics to try to justify.
They will bring with them all their “baggage”. Look at the teeth of the cover photo, is it what we need in Ghana? And the tattoos, pants hugging below the buttocks, unruly and aggressive behavior, vulgar language and more……….?
Referring to them as a foreigner is emotional? My husband is from another African country and no matter how much I interact with his culture I will always be a foreigner. The high level of emotion they will unleash on you can make it hard to empathize with them.
Nobody says anything to Africans who come to USA everyday and live and African Americans never say anything and they get that opportunity because of the blood and sweat of African Americans … we are so disrespected even by the very people who helped sell us away … even when we try people still mad at us .. African Americans brothers and sisters we will never have anyone who has our back .. just go wherever you want cuz this is Gods world and nobody can tell u where to go in his creation… Love the Most high and I’m proud of us for what we have overcame and still are trying ❤ be proud and be courageous the Most high will continue to keep us
To me Egypt was the most welcoming, however Ghana it was my first place of entry into Ghana and it’s there I am providing support to some local Ghanaians and started an NPO that is providing social and economic empowering assistance to Ghanaians.
Wow that's so nice of you providing support to us here and started NPO which I will like to join when you look into it and include me.Together we move GHANA 🇬🇭 ✔️ forward.
I've been in Ghana for the most part since my first stay in 2012. Ghana is home-both my kids were born and live here. This sistar is pretty accurate on everything, and since the YoR, I've had my fears of not only non-blacks coming to GH, but also certain Diasporans coming over and bringing certain baggage: attitudes & behaviors. Given the state of the world, the exodus is inevitable, and I think it's VERY important for the Diaspora to reconnect with source, but it's a procees of integration that needs to be attended to and it shouldn't just happen in one location. Exciting times nonetheless... Oh and it's SO GOOD to hear y'all talk about the Slavery tourism. Though I've unfortunately in my earlier years have had to visit the slave castles, I now refuse to visit and advocate for the castles to be demolished and replaced with a memorial, if that.
The African diaspora from the Americas are a unique tribe and should be treated that way. Ghana is made up of many tribes and the diaspora is just one more tribe made up of subdivisions. It will take time to assimilate and understand each other. In Africa tribes have lived to together for centuries and still have problems with each other. So the Diaspora is like a child and need to acclimatises and will with time as they grow within Ghana. We have to accept each other's cultures and live in harmony as the west wants to eradicate Africans from thier countries.
In Ghana we normally refer a person with British or American accent as foreigners, not the color, once you blend with the locals and looses percentages of the accent, then they see you as one of their own.
In Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania the Indians literally have their own section of the city, own temples, they don’t deal with the locals unless the locals work for them, their butlers, or stepping over the homeless locals on street
For some reason I never felt the vibe in Tanzania Indians and Arabs acts like Tanzania belongs to them more than the locals the way they give you the look in supermarkets feels like you not in Africa.. I like Rwanda better I’m moving there for good
I agree one should know and understand the culture they are moving into in; However, I also believe one should have a common community(folks who are like you/understand your culture) that can help with accumulation, both emotionally and Spiritually. She speaks with disdain for her own people. Every people have people who may behave in the manner she dislikes, but it is never a good idea to just smack them with spit.
This is a good thing for Ghana; they are getting some of that tourism money; but they have to set the ground rules. They weren’t ready; now they need to handle this immediately as any sovereign country would to protect their native populace.
The discrimination against Nigerians is the reason I refused to relocate to Ghana . I can't be in a "white mans country" and they treat me better. Then go to a black one that discriminates against me. I noticed also that it seems other black people don't mind that it happens to Nigerians either. So, when people say , we are one , we are brothers and sisters, it's often clear that it's not the reality. They can often say it, but not be able to do it.
Girl, nobody cares if you dont relocate to ghana. Thank you for doing us that *big* favor cause some of us don't want y'all here. And some of us are tired of y'all moving into our country. You guys come into our country causing problems, and then when we call y'all out on it, yall want to sit here and defend the crap that some of your ppl are doing in ghana. We don't care if you don't come. As a matter of fact, stay your country. Since you know which country your family comes from, relocate to that country.
Not everyone goes to a country to become a native. Some just want to comfortably live out their lives while treating everyone with respect outside the Matrix. It's not fair to tell someone how he or she should be an Expat.
That’s why most people are happy in Ghana we don’t impose on anyone be yourself I struggle when the diaspora want to prescribe how we should expect people to live we just want to be happy and live in peace but if you break the law you will be dealt with so no one should think we are not aware of what happens in our country. When Ghanaians get angry it’ll not be nice we’ve had violence in the past but we choose peace.
@@piyesankara890 please read the whole comment its within a context. i said we chose peace if you want to focus on violence its fine obviously you dont know our history in ghana
Agreed that's her. We don't have to do anything she states. I hate this Black Americans got to fix the world bs. White people go everywhere and piss all up and down the street without kickback
first of all I want to say it is every Black Mans right to return to Africa....and it is also important that he returns to Africa! you might be shocked when you get there that some of these people have very little knowledge if not none when it comes to slavery and western lies but that right there should tell you there is still a lot of ignorance in Africa so proceed carefully. "Tell them your story "... let them know about your plight and what it's really like in the western world. Be respectful to them and they will respect you even more. We want you all sons and daughters of Africa back with love.

KASI. and Habesha is something i ran across for Diasporians to integrate into African society..located in Ghana..anybody heard about this?
AA’s are going to Africa, while Africans are willing to do anything to make it to the U.S. AA’s need continue moving forward and stop looking backwards. Realize that you have privilege being an American and take advantage of everything America gives to you for FREEEEEE. They slack off in America thinking running to Africa is going to comfort them then they are hit in the face with reality.
Brilliant episode sister 👏🏾
@the debunker2050; there never was any "unity between Black and white" to have any divisiveness !! Go to a white country !!!!!!!.
God blessed u dear❤❤❤
Blaming Black Americans who make up less than 1% of the Ghanaian population is Ridiculous! Ghanaians are very welcoming and don’t force foreigners to adapt to their ways. The people of Ghana only ask expats to RESPECT the country and culture, which the MAJORITY of African Americans do! Trust me if you come with a superiority complex, Ghana will HUMBLE you FAST! Ghana is a great place to live and vacation 🇬🇭
It's always Black Americans fault huh? I will not be going back to Ghana.
Wait, who's blaming what?
Also have a little more respect for your culture. We're not forcing anyone, but you shouldn't be encouraging people to come in and make no effort to integrate either.
And what's the statistics in their own home. 🤔 I'm pretty sure they are the minority, but the majority in the justice system.

What's your point? They came from africa, if there's a problem with them there's a problem with you. Don't be a brainwashed idiot
its less than .01%. the average Ghanaian(especially outside of Accra) who has never traveled abroad has never even met an african american in their life.
I am a Ghanaian watching from abroad been always interested in my motherland. I like this lady's open mindset. She is a free spirit and her attributes will definitely lift her to higher heights in Ghana(Africa).
I enjoyed and learned a lot from this interview The African Super Star provided valuble information about Ghana
Great topic and excellent contribution. I’m AA and totally agree with the African Superstar. I think the way for survival for the diaspora community is assimilation when going back to Africa. We have too much baggage from our abusive experiences in the west. The best we can do is swallow our pride and relearn how to be African.
Foh it's nothing wrong with Black Americans
Connecting back to our roots and ATR is the first step. We’ve been told to “Go back to Africa” for so many years and a lot of us are doing just that. My fiancé is currently over in Africa on contract and our intention is to move to Kenya 🇰🇪. I’d much rather invest into our people than to be struggling for equality here in “America , land of the free”.
@@OhSoNita agreed. I think America is a cesspool of filth racism and immorality. Continued generations here only continues to pass on this unhealthy existence for us.
They don't see you as them it's a different culture different way of life there you will be an American just living in Africa
@@rosiehill5377 They see you as that because most Americans are afraid to actually dig deep into finding who they really are. What bloodline really runs through their veins. If majority were to actually participate in the rituals that they have in the villages they’d be lost. Not many African Americans know anything past the three main known Orishas. They haven’t studied the practices. Many African Americans don’t know anything about Yoruba Traditions.

Yes, for me, mingling is key. Learning the culture, especially a local or two languages, is also key.
Have met a Senegalese, Ghanaians and a few Nigerian. Was I excited, coming from the West Indies, having never met any, prior, feeling a kinship with them.
I actually approached them all, the Nigerians I would invite them to lime with me to parties, clubs, roller discos.

I was having this conversation some weeks ago. If all of the Diaspora went back to the continent.....THEY WILL FOLLOW US. I agree, Oshay there is an OBSESSION with us.
Ghana has to get control of their country before westerner take over. The European people always have a agenda.
Why can't the African Americans come to the Mother Land and embrace their culture instead of turning it into the Western World and violence is just the beginning.
Praying for Ghana and other African Countries that are going through this transition. ❤🇺🇸
This
It sounds like it's more Caucasians coming in than AA. So we can't necessarily say it's us turning it into the Western world.
Black/African-Americans can’t connect because there’s no emotional, psychological, physical tie to Africa which requires discipline, empathy, grace, and understanding. Like she said it’s “trendy” to move to Ghana. That’s great for a certain period of time until reality sets in.
As for the non-Africans/Disporans relocating to Ghana, good luck because eventually you’ll be stymied too and eventually rooted out.

We should reduce it to less than that. I think ghana and most of africa should ban whyte people. As in they're not allowed to immigrate or travel there without explicit permission. That's the case in europe and america. You can't immigrate or travel into either places unless it's for vacation or you won residency lottery. Moving to africa should be just as difficult for them as it is for us to move to "the west". They're not going to bring us anything good anyways
Good to hear a better prospective about foreigners being there...
A saw relatively large group of Indians in Ghana. More Indians are moving into Ghana. Indians aren’t known for their love and respect for Black people. African Super Star is right in the sense that Ghana’s demographic is changing with the increase of non Blacks. The richest Ghaniani is a non-black person, which is a disgrace. The non-blacks are there for early financial opportunities. Where I disagree with her is the fact that, foreign blacks do not have to become Ghanaians because they are living or doing business in Ghana. Many other non-blacks are and were in Ghana for a very long time. No one is forcing those non-blacks to integrate into Ghanaian culture. Those people are using the money made in Ghana to invest in the West or send their kids to the best schools in the West.
She's giving some insightful information and she has a healthy perspective of the situation. The government needs to set laws protecting the rights of the natives, as well as fair land and housing prices so it is affordable for the natives. I agree with her about there needing to be a cultural awareness training for the African Americans when they get there. There also needs to be history classes for the Africans about the Transatlantic Slave trade and the history of the europeans.🦋👍🏿💯
What makes you think Africans don't know the history of Europeans when we were literally impacted by them? This is condescending honestly. We had colonialism and genocides in many countries across this continent, so we know what white supremacy and imperialism is. It's our own history too. A few people here and there not knowing a few things doesn't mean anything. The trans atlantic slave trade is known by many Africans, and of course Ghanaians themselves. What?
Very balanced view
I Agree. Wowwww they don’t know about Atlantic Slave Trade. But yea Exactly Britain sent over the Education Books. Just like Us in America ALL if Our History we’re Changed to Europeans Pictures I won’t say All Erases because it is still in Harvard Law Library Books and is in the Library of Congress and in the Britain Museum Britain Universities
That’s why she should concentrate on being an activist more so than a artist because the way things are going from what she described,she will only see white ppl in her shows.
We know our history and slavery... These things are taught in schools.. We know our forefathers sold you all for guns and wine. We just don't make it our national anthem and cos it's history... 😂

In Rwanda, Tanzania, and South Africa, Black Americans Definitely integrate with the locals on all levels
i am a Ghanaian and we've always had foreigners in our country. we had a lot of caucasians living in the affluent part of the country some left in the 80's we never had big issues with them. we have syrians, lebanese, koreans in Ghana long before the diasporans started coming here my childhood best friend is half lebanese half ghanaian. we in ghana are used to foreigners as long as they dont cause problems.

The Ghanaian government MUST set standards to protect native Ghanaian and other blacks who migrated to Ghana from racism and financial exploitation. We CANNOT allow Caucasians who prevented blacks from moving into their communities in America & Europe to come to Ghana and practice their WICKED ways in Ghana. Black Americans who migrated to Ghana MUST educate the natives. When I was 9 years old (1963)in the Caribbean I saw black Americans marching off a bridge in Alabama and was beaten with batons by the police, water hosed by the fire department, and bitten by the police dogs. To this day there is OPEN violence against blacks by the police and the Hillbillies, yet their people want to follow us into OUR countries as though their presence is WANTED. The Ghanaian government and its people MUST monitor non-black immigrants to ensure they are not being racist to our people and that they are not exploiting them financially.

Because unfortunately that happens often. Everyone can have their opinions and criticisms, but some people go out of their way to be disrespectful and cause trouble in america for black americans
@blackblaze5271 Many Africans try to befriend Black people in America, but they push them away or try to make fun of them, thinking they are superior to Africans due to Xenophobe Some Black people do their best to alienate Africans by telling them, "You're not one of us."

‼️🤔📚📖 She contradicted herself throughout the entire video. And there’s a sense of helping the divides that she just said the westerns that are traveling there to “monitor” and surveil as diaspora repatriates, are doing. “Connecting” happens in many ways, familiar assumptions can become MORE roadblocks; as allowing the components of gentrification can do as well. So, perhaps the diaspora that she’s referring, is in fact trying to contribute in significant ways, but the lack of “gatekeeping” and direct support, may deter.. 🤔 Fruitful. From NYC, love to all. Bless.
L😊😊😊😊😊qq
All those observations she made can be true.
The whole interview… black Americans always went to Ghana .. definitely if they were PanAfrican
Totally agree with her sentiment about the reasons/inspiration for some from our community travelling to Ghana in particular. There definitely was a predominate element of folks who travelled to Ghana (and elsewhere on the continent) in search of economic opportunities, and to a much lesser degree, a cultural re-awakening. Seems motivational factors usually boils down to a few pursuits: cash, culture or cache. Time will tell which will dominate.
(Yes… the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc also has a Chapter in Ghana)
I THINK THAT IF ANY NONE BLACK DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANY LOCAL PERSON SHOULD HAVE ALL ASSETS SEIZED AND KICKED OUT OF THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA IMMEDIATELY THAT WILL STOP THAT
100%
They love non blacks too much to do that though.

One loved the country but couldn’t see themselves bringing an input but wanted the Ghanaians to do it themselves, like they understood what our accommodations are. The other one had been there 5x and had no respect for the culture, the people, the language or anything. All she wanted was money and to enforce all to accommodate to her needs alone. She was horrible, so much so that I separated myself from them and did my on thing and had a blast by myself and the locals. Made my own friends and connects etc. anyway she is right on.

I'm seeing this a lot but not necessarily with the black americans living in ghana, more so the ones visiting or talking about visiting. Some portion seem to want the locals who are struggling themselves to create a life for them. And not even one where they contribute. I don't understand why you wouldn't want to build up a country you've chosen to live in. If you don't want to do that then you're just going to have to settle with living in an apartment or hotel and paying till you maybe run of money of find some kind of job and make it work. Other people can't live your life for you. It's wild to me that some would expect some kind of welfare system from the local people in third world countries instead of building together and having everyone succeed. Some of these people want everything built and already made. Basically zero to no contribution to where they live. Not very pro-black or pan african, even though that's usually the reason many people give for coming

Once people of a certain mind state start going over there and realize how much the people over there love and are moved by money and how corrupt they are over there. It's sad to say they will take it to another level that the locals have never seen before. So they better keep themselves in check about the corruption because a certain element will show them how to really be corrupt.
Facts
As if there are no corruption in the U.S.A. 🤔🤔🙄🙄
Great show very insightful. Represent!
I don’t see a downside unless Ghana adopts the buffoonery and BS. AAs should go there to learn and get back who they are and upgrade that!
They’ve adopted LGBTQ, rap, drill rap etc
@@TruthSeeker30_ Nooo they didnt adopt LGBTQ, that shyt will never be fully allowed. You can definitely get killed for being gay and go missing. Especially in my mom's country next door, Liberia. Go to Nigeria with that mess you will definitely get slaughtered.
@@TruthSeeker30_ omg.
@@sonyabell4573 the west is focused on Ghana because they know black Americans are going there. They’re even sending “celebrities” to infiltrate the country to soften the people. Dwayne Wade (🌈🌈). Rappers. Etc
That's a lie
Thanks for your very profound truth we african americans need to study more of our motherlands history and become more politically astute..i choosed to arrive in another part of the motherland and bridged with a family to help build a store ,which was very much needed in the community and in turn the family gave me land to build my future home....im still not convinced that we africans have yet to create the political and economic community that justly serves the collective. Im on my 6x trip with the plan to maintain arriving as an asset and not an liability...if you have petty bourgeoisie behavior you dont need to arrive to our motherland, you will only serve the colonial agenda of divide and conquer..
Now you know damn well African American women aren't interested in that. At least most of African American men capable of leaving are our intellectuals since the ghetto thugs are too poor or have felonies that prevent them.
This woman has really understand the Ghanaian community,Culture and everything.She has so much information that most Ghanaians are not even aware of.Any Black Americans planning to relocate to Africa and for that matter Ghana should contact her for a great deal of advise.She really nailed the interview hands down 👌
my brother she doesn't know anything yet she's still learning we Ghanaians have a way of opening up to a foreigner she should learn more
She knows nothing man just hear her talking
Facts!
@@billjames1216 maybe it’s because she’s there for that entertainment business/finding a Ghanaian king to settle down with. She is in the city East legon/Accra and nothing outside of that! She will not be walking around Makola market fraternizing with the locals, let alone visiting a village walking around it! Unless it’s at a resort laying on the beach, sipping on a cocktail! Her cup of tea is sitting poolside at Kempinski or Movenpic hotels , and bars and clubs.

South Africa was dope, reminded me of America where the demographics were in reverse where BP are the majority. A lot of cool creative people in SA
South Africa is extremely dangerous , more than any US city. I wouldn't visit that place if I had free tickets

@@valmal2659 lol, I see you don't know how to read or a liar. There was 2947 homicides in Cape town in 2022. That is more than New York and Los Angeles combined in the US. New York and Los Angeles is much bigger than Cape town
@@valmal2659 since you called me a liar I did a little more research. Old dirty poor Cape town had more Homicides than the Four largest US cities combined in 2022. New York had 418 murders in 2022, Los Angeles had 382, Houston had 433, and Chicago had 695. Cape town had 2947 homicides, more than the four largest US cities combined. Maybe you need to do a little research or stop lying, 😄😄
'The Afrikan Superstar ' made some valid points...
It will take time to acclimate just as two siblings separated for a long time would relate...
(And with baggage).
Hopefully time and the next generation will make a difference.
Also agree with the point of both locals and the diaspora doing their homework.
Also Oshay is right. The diasporan community in Ghana is more established and working better than the others in the different part of the continent. So when she said its hard to get support from the diasporan community to start a project or complete its true but she need to specify which diasporan group. Becuase there is so many groups out there that have worked together and executed projects. Such like the Hebrew Israelites, the Atlanta group who have massive investments in faming in the central and Ashanti region. The Chicago group and the Caribbean association group. And there is others out there that I know of and don't know of.
Sounds like people with a certain mindset r in the way of moving forward because they think or will b left behind. Haters
This waa a good interview. Communication is the key. We must unite, I was shocked to learn about the amount of Europeans who have flooded in, but inam.not surprised.
The reality is, Africa does thing right, and a lot of things bad, and as an American and traveler, and when you have experience and world perspective, it can and will be frustrating, especially when the simplest things to you, are extremely difficult or they don't exist at all. The other issue, is competition and possibly people having more attention than they are use to and becoming territorial, within those community which will lead to the creation of a toxic environment. Africa is for the Africans. Everyone else had to adjust to the level of the community they are on or visiting or pay for the comfort that does exist, but not for everyone. Africa has many levels and many spaces, good, to great, explore, and find yours if you intend on staying, and of course have the means to do so, but keep. and open mond and a open pocket, because there's a cost, and most of the time it's unreasonable, but the trade-off is the African experience and the spark of imagination of what it could be, because you come from a place that's better, but, you come to Africa because it's different. It's a choice, and sometimes a privilege, and if you have the means, simply enjoy the experiences, the inconveniences, the challenges, and know that you're alive, and we'll, "This is Africa"! Be safe, be smart, be courteous, and respectful of the cultures that you interact with. 😊
Thank you for the honesty.
These Lebanese have been abusing africans in Lebanon for decades and still disrespecting Africans in our own countries. What's going on with us Africans ? How come people who abuse us in their countries continue to discriminate us in our own lands and no action is taken to stop or deport all of these people
Exactly. Also, let’s not forget that these same Lebanese can not make it in their own country because it’s a failed state yet they are VERY rich in West Africa.
6:05 this topic needs to be a video on its own. I believe there are plenty if spies in Ghana
I love her insight. I married a Ghanaian and we plan to move to Ghana in the next couple of years. The culture and people are amazing and I love learning Twi, eating the food, and being amongst all the beautiful Ghanaian people. It does upset me when I visit and see more Europeans/Asians because being from the states Ghana is like my refuge from racism and being a minority. I pray Ghana continues to prosper. 💜
Tell that to the government and the ghanaians that are in love with other groups. We're asking black americans to come but then some of us will also be inviting the people who caused their problems to follow. It doesn't make much sense. Not sure if we think these things through. A lot of black seem to just act
The African Superstar is RIGHT ON POINT 👉
I'm a Ghanaian and I think this woman is so right in what she is saying, I think diasporians need to listen and learn or they will ruin the whole transitional move.
No one will ruin anything if we're selective with who gets citizenship and give special visas etc. But we seem to want random immigration
Exactly. They have a lot of pride and they are looking for exploiting Africa. I live in America and they are very proud entitled.
She is telling the truth! Not sugar coating anything!👏🏽👏🏽
As a African man, Specifically in Mozambique, I think it is necessary to create an association of Afro-Americans that has a leader and from there to get in touch with the local government to design approximation policies
💯
We have a couple in more than two regions of Ghana, the reason you don't know because you are listening to RUclips heads who never really engage with the community here
It's amazing how we all know the same things and when these things well presented they all quickly commandeered And apprehended.
good idea
They won’t allow them because of their corruption greedy corrupt politicians,Africa leaders are horrible
There's not alot of Black Americans going to Ghana or Africa especially not to live but yet it's getting more trendy to blame us and complain about the very small population who went there already lol it's best for Black Americans to focus on building our own ethnicity not trying to fit in with other people that's clearly not the same as us nor support our best interests like these Pan Africanists play mental gymnastics to try to justify.
They will bring with them all their “baggage”. Look at the teeth of the cover photo, is it what we need in Ghana? And the tattoos, pants hugging below the buttocks, unruly and aggressive behavior, vulgar language and more……….?
Sad
Referring to them as a foreigner is emotional? My husband is from another African country and no matter how much I interact with his culture I will always be a foreigner.
The high level of emotion they will unleash on you can make it hard to empathize with them.
Nobody says anything to Africans who come to USA everyday and live and African Americans never say anything and they get that opportunity because of the blood and sweat of African Americans … we are so disrespected even by the very people who helped sell us away … even when we try people still mad at us .. African Americans brothers and sisters we will never have anyone who has our back .. just go wherever you want cuz this is Gods world and nobody can tell u where to go in his creation… Love the Most high and I’m proud of us for what we have overcame and still are trying ❤ be proud and be courageous the Most high will continue to keep us
Victim mentality. PL like you always talks ng about Africans sold you away carry hatred already for Africans
They don't want to hear that.
This is an excellent comment.
To me Egypt was the most welcoming, however Ghana it was my first place of entry into Ghana and it’s there I am providing support to some local Ghanaians and started an NPO that is providing social and economic empowering assistance to Ghanaians.
Wow that's so nice of you providing support to us here and started NPO which I will like to join when you look into it and include me.Together we move GHANA 🇬🇭 ✔️ forward.
GHANA IS HOME GOD BLESS AFRICA FOREVER AND EVER
🤣 This is going to be good.
I knoooow
Yeah protect everything negative on Black Americans to boost up Africa
@@jaren2159 Exactly, I love and admire Africa; but I'm sick of Ados expats sh!ting on their own people.
I've been in Ghana for the most part since my first stay in 2012. Ghana is home-both my kids were born and live here. This sistar is pretty accurate on everything, and since the YoR, I've had my fears of not only non-blacks coming to GH, but also certain Diasporans coming over and bringing certain baggage: attitudes & behaviors. Given the state of the world, the exodus is inevitable, and I think it's VERY important for the Diaspora to reconnect with source, but it's a procees of integration that needs to be attended to and it shouldn't just happen in one location. Exciting times nonetheless...
Oh and it's SO GOOD to hear y'all talk about the Slavery tourism. Though I've unfortunately in my earlier years have had to visit the slave castles, I now refuse to visit and advocate for the castles to be demolished and replaced with a memorial, if that.
At 13:38 is interesting because that is exactly how most Africans act in the United States towards Black Americans
Respect to the Sistah.. she was extremely kind and articulate 🙌🏾👑
The African diaspora from the Americas are a unique tribe and should be treated that way. Ghana is made up of many tribes and the diaspora is just one more tribe made up of subdivisions.
It will take time to assimilate and understand each other.
In Africa tribes have lived to together for centuries and still have problems with each other.
So the Diaspora is like a child and need to acclimatises and will with time as they grow within Ghana.
We have to accept each other's cultures and live in harmony as the west wants to eradicate Africans from thier countries.
In Ghana we normally refer a person with British or American accent as foreigners, not the color, once you blend with the locals and looses percentages of the accent, then they see you as one of their own.
In Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania the Indians literally have their own section of the city, own temples, they don’t deal with the locals unless the locals work for them, their butlers, or stepping over the homeless locals on street
You literally painted that picture perfectly, because that’s exactly what I saw in Dar
For some reason I never felt the vibe in Tanzania Indians and Arabs acts like Tanzania belongs to them more than the locals the way they give you the look in supermarkets feels like you not in Africa.. I like Rwanda better I’m moving there for good
@@fessehag1507 Yea, I wasn’t feeling Dar. The Indians run that. I absolutely LOVED Rwanda!!!!
@@fessehag1507 Mwanza, Tanzania is a city that has a better vibe than Dar. I actually loved Mwanza aka Rock City
@@fessehag1507 Yes, it’s laid back, beautiful rocks everywhere, hills, the water has a beach, I loved it
this woman is highly intelligent and insightful
I agree one should know and understand the culture they are moving into in; However, I also believe one should have a common community(folks who are like you/understand your culture) that can help with accumulation, both emotionally and Spiritually. She speaks with disdain for her own people. Every people have people who may behave in the manner she dislikes, but it is never a good idea to just smack them with spit.
Amazing!!! Two of my favorite RUclipsrs!!!!
This is a good thing for Ghana; they are getting some of that tourism money; but they have to set the ground rules. They weren’t ready; now they need to handle this immediately as any sovereign country would to protect their native populace.
I totally respect her perspective, she mingled with Ghanaians in the US ever b4 visiting Ghana. That's a network of connections right there.
The discrimination against Nigerians is the reason I refused to relocate to Ghana . I can't be in a "white mans country" and they treat me better. Then go to a black one that discriminates against me.
I noticed also that it seems other black people don't mind that it happens to Nigerians either.
So, when people say , we are one , we are brothers and sisters, it's often clear that it's not the reality.
They can often say it, but not be able to do it.
I agree with you 100%
Let ghanaians stay in ghana and nigerians stay in nigeria period no one gives a fuck!
I don't
As a Nigerian, you're talking shit 😅
Why are you bothered with what small country like Ghana is doing?
Girl, nobody cares if you dont relocate to ghana. Thank you for doing us that *big* favor cause some of us don't want y'all here. And some of us are tired of y'all moving into our country. You guys come into our country causing problems, and then when we call y'all out on it, yall want to sit here and defend the crap that some of your ppl are doing in ghana. We don't care if you don't come. As a matter of fact, stay your country. Since you know which country your family comes from, relocate to that country.
Not everyone goes to a country to become a native. Some just want to comfortably live out their lives while treating everyone with respect outside the Matrix. It's not fair to tell someone how he or she should be an Expat.
That’s why most people are happy in Ghana we don’t impose on anyone be yourself I struggle when the diaspora want to prescribe how we should expect people to live we just want to be happy and live in peace but if you break the law you will be dealt with so no one should think we are not aware of what happens in our country. When Ghanaians get angry it’ll not be nice we’ve had violence in the past but we choose peace.
@@afuantumi2768 Who are you referring to that you might get violent with?
@@piyesankara890 please read the whole comment its within a context. i said we chose peace if you want to focus on violence its fine obviously you dont know our history in ghana
Agreed that's her. We don't have to do anything she states. I hate this Black Americans got to fix the world bs. White people go everywhere and piss all up and down the street without kickback
@@afuantumi2768 tell us we waiting
first of all I want to say it is every Black Mans right to return to Africa....and it is also important that he returns to Africa! you might be shocked when you get there that some of these people have very little knowledge if not none when it comes to slavery and western lies but that right there should tell you there is still a lot of ignorance in Africa so proceed carefully. "Tell them your story "... let them know about your plight and what it's really like in the western world. Be respectful to them and they will respect you even more. We want you all sons and daughters of Africa back with love.
