Getting close Maya!
Wow! This was a strong powerful message. African Diasporans who left in the past twenty years because of war or economic reasons are invaluable human resource to their countries economy. I think the Government should put partnership programs with incentives backed with policy to facilitate a massive return of African Diasporan Investment. We just need a African Diasporan Bank to be the game changer .We all send money home monthly to our loved ones every day. See how much money Western Union has made in money transfer charges in Years from Africans. Billions!!!!!!
Thank you Maya for all that you do , deeply appreciated.

The message is clear!! Come back home! Bring your expertise, build your home. Invest, Invest, invest.
Is it owned by the Chinese?
Yes, yes yesssssss.
@@FuuTails For all African Americans, move to Africa where you'll be safe.
For all the Chinese expats, get out Africa. Keep away from our businesses.
Fuu nobody will give you anything for free. If you done go take what is yours the Chinese will take it.
Africa first to fix Africa them maybe?? But African leaders are selling out to Asians.

Liberia and Sierra Leone needs a lot of investments. Let's all do our best to help.
Lobby the Black Americans and Caribbeans
All of Africa actually...
As a diasporan...
Learn African history and how the world works.
Maximize your skill or set of skills.
Get your economics right.
Pick an African country and go.
Learn the culture and a language.
Innovate. build. develop.
Ong we do. We seriously need it
Yeah they’re pretty bad off even by African standards gdp per Capita
My mom is from Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 my dad from Liberia 🇱🇷 it’s so beautiful 😍
True most African Americans do not know about the history of Liberia.However I am an African American who knows that Liberia that it was settled by slaves. I am a person who loves researching Black History, the history of the Diaspora and the Motherland You and I may be cousins 😀
Have you talked to a Liberian about that? Their perspective is not as romantic as what little is taught in America.
Anytime you hear about people settling land where others already live, you should question how that went.
Rosemary Glover settled by slaves? Or by PEOPLE who were formerly enslaved
@@sunnyedaize1262 yes I have and they confirmed what I stated in my response
@Jamal Al-Uqdah I did not state that I am an expert on Liberian history just what I know based on my research
African Americans came and BOUGHT the land from some of the chiefs in the area to start over in Africa after becoming free from slavery.... But then, for reasons unknown, they bought the land but then also had to share it with the people they bought it from? I don't understand that part of the history. If I buy a house from a family, that family doesn't get to stay in the house and live with me afterwards but that's a different discussion I guess.
When African Americans established Liberia they witnessed first hand, the local tribes still partaking in the illegal slave trade(they were taking Africans to the coast to sell to the Portuguese) This obviously offended Liberians(talking about newly settled African Americans in Liberia) and they took direct action to stop this trade. This upset the locals, as it was effecting their trade.
As a result, local tribes regularly attacked the small and fragile Liberian settlements for over a decade until the Liberians decisively defeated the local tribes and peace was established between the Liberian settlements and the local tribes.
As a result of these early interactions, the Liberians(so called americo Liberians) rightfully distrusted the local tribes and tried to keep them away from Liberia.
Over time, though, more and more trust was established and Liberia began to integrate the local tribes into Liberia proper(making them Liberians as well) this included adopting children from local tribes, providing schooling, apprenticeship, training, and stable jobs in the government. Some were even sent to Europe and America to go to American colleges and universities and come back to help Liberia. This was a great system that was expanding more and more under Tolbert as he truly tried to integrate the natives into Liberia.
They were also allowed to join the military and over time became the majority of the military personnel (this was obviously a mistake)
So as you can see, Liberians WERE integrating the local tribes into Liberia but the native population decided that they just wanted to take over everything and killed most of the Liberian ran government in 1980.
Having taken over Liberian with all the infrastructure undamaged and ready for use, what did they do with it? They destroyed it all in stupid tribal wars and Liberia is still recovering from it.
Judging by the upvotes for the original comment it seems that anti African American(so called americo Liberians) feelings are still there which is sad because they were not the ones to actually destroy the country.
At this point(2019 going into 2020) there should be no more talk of natives vs Congo people(so called americo Liberians)... We should all just be Liberians from now on and follow the example set by Rwanda.

Sadly we have not regained these Glory days in Liberia. Africans from all over the continent used to vacation in Liberia it was so nice
I'm African American who loves Liberia.
Will look into it.
Good for you!
Our History 😍
Liberia don't eat rice more than Nigeria. Let us grow rice in Africa rather than import from Asia countries. Let eat our own rice.
Your population is 5× larger
I like our local rice than the foreign rice. The foreign rice are killing our people.
You are right because we have everything that it's take to make but we need mechanized farming system in Africa.
Right I don't see why seeing before Europeans came native Africans had their own unique way of cultivating they're own rice, that's why when Europeans first encountered those who practiced rice growing, they called that region the Rice Coast stretching all the way from Senegal to Sierra Leone and Liberia. So I don't see why now many Africans departed from it... 🤷🏿♂️
Yes and No.yes base on population of nigerian.No is base on likeness of rice in liberia is higher than nigerian.liberians people can eat rice 10 times a day.they dont give up.rice is like gold in liberia.am a nigerian but formerly lived in liberia for good 7 years before heading to 🇺🇸

@@greatafrican913 I am fascinated with this movement of the diaspora home. Especially now the USA is collapsing as it faces a fractional % of its history and consequences. The African continent is the future. Love so many young people going and older people retiring.

Very true
Woda Maya is the President of all African youtubers. Therefore, all African youtubers should honour and acknowledge him so dearly. Thanks.
Potion of correction of Lberia was not founded by free slaves there people living in there before the arrival of the free slaves.

I one thousand percent approve this message. Liberia need us ooo my people.
I love Africa
Africa is more beautiful
We Africans can't thank you enough Maya!
Subscribe, I don’t understand how this guys doesn’t have 1mil subscribers yet. Africans will rush to subscribe to whites girls in bikini but they can’t subscribe to this guy doing something positive for his continent
There is plenty potential in Africa. But not everyone is using YT on the continent yet. Especially in poorer and rural areas more people could use it. But I think it's just a question of time ;)
@@tulusaku7929 It's because RUclips doesn't make his videos reach out to everyone. They filter out the videos that don't serve their agenda.
You can say that again!
She made me laughed when she said Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 and Liberia 🇱🇷 are cousins very close 😂, but you guys are doing amazing job for real respect ✊
I'm Honduran-American who would love to visit my ancestors land of Honduras and I would love to visit Little America of Africa aka Liberia ❤✊🏿
You're very much welcome
I thought I wanted to go to Ghana now this makes me want to go to Liberia
When do you want to go?
Go everywhere in africa it is the same vibes
Its all beautiful
Please you don't have to change your plans ... Ghana still got that love and the beautiful, peaceful atmosphere you will love to experience

Brother Wode is an inspiration.
Very true my friends. We must not be afraid to start over that's the fear of most people. Our minds are very colonized to think materialistic way so alot of us are afraid to give it up and live simple.
@amy benje we are programmed to cling to stuff, which is what brings about alot of our suffering.i hear you I also love and appreciate the simplicity of life more so now than ever. 🙏🏿
So true..wating their monies on people that dont give a damn about them..Africa me say👊

Congratulations for promoting us to the world, lay a personal invitation to African Americans that Liberia is home and waiting for them to be part of it,
I can’t thank you enough for exploring my Africa in a such nice way wode.

That Afrikan outfit is everything 😍we Afrikan women need to embrace our clothing n get rid of western clothing.

I know the connection personally through a great grandfather. My next visit to Africa will be to Liberia. My spirit is longing to return.
You're welcome anytime to Liberia
I am from somalia 🇸🇴 252 in living in the USA 🇺🇸 , but never give up my home .
I am a South African and been thinking to leave my own country but after watching all women tell their experience and my friends who left Africa complaining.... honey am not going any far from my motherland, spiritual home.
Africa is so beautiful 😍. So glad that you did this video, bc Americans do get the wrong idea about Africa

Shes so beautiful. Liberia is a great country now after alot of struggles. Good job Wode Maya . Love from Kenya.
Liberia, one nation one people, in Union Strong, Success is Sure.
The mother land will never fall.

Elvis Mengisto Thats incredibly racist and ignorant view of whites you have.
@@IslenoGutierrez My grand parents hated white people for a good reason, BLM exists for a good reason, you do tje math, Africans cannot be racist by definition
@@IslenoGutierrez Anyone that is mixed with African African
Be sure to follow Rhoda's channel!
I often tell blacks in the diaspora who have ancestors who were enslaved that Liberia is our new home. It was founded by our ancestors for us to start over in Africa.
Liberia has a troubled history but I think it can become prosperous because of the newfound peace. I encourage all blacks in the diaspora who cannot directly trace their roots to a specific tribe in Africa to consider making Liberia their new home.
I am very glad to hear it is safer to travel to Liberia. As I stated before in another video, I traveled to Liberia with my church group back in 1989. The coup happened just a few months after we left. We stayed at Carver Bible College. It was the only black missionary organization on the continent at that time. We actually had one guy who later moved to Liberia. He married a Liberian woman, but they had to flee several years later after another war broke out. They have been living in America ever since.
wow!
I love her enthusiasm for helping to develop her native land and In the process the African continent more Africans should follow suit
Liberia to the World
Sweet Land Of Liberty❤
When the late Pop Star, Michael Jackson, made his song entitled “Liberian Girl” now you know why! Look at Royda Urey.
I heard that song was made in reference to Diana Ross, who is Liberian decent. Is this true?
Heyyyyy 👏🏽 lol 😆
Yeah now I see
Hey Philimena.
I had a burning desire to move out of South Africa & Liberia is one of the countries I considered. Your story awakens that desire.
Wode Maya you're a true African Boss...👌🙌
Liberia is a beautiful and amazing country
Liberia is beautiful, thanks for showing Africa to the World!
Awesome interview with my own Liberian sister! Thank you Wode Maya for featuring my sweet motherland Liberia.

What makes Maya really special is that he is willing to meet with so many people from different countries who are new RUclipsrs, and it doesn't matter how big their channels are compared to his own.
Very informative interview - Thanks so much for the history of African American former slaves founding Liberia 🎉💜
WODE MAYA , we really likes what you r doing , you r just working as an ambassador for all African countries !! keep it up Man

Liberia is the most friendly and peaceful country on this earth. Here in America or Europe, there are some parts that human beings cannot go, you're being brainwashed. Africa is peaceful.
One love Africa
Woda Maya is so *amazing* for doing this because my perception about Liberia was that it was still destroyed and a mess after the war, but I did not know that Liberia was this *beautiful* thank you so so so much Woda Maya
Awwwww u r welcome!
Make sure u visit someday
Much love for Liberia
Woda Maya
Thanks for coming to my country Liberia 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
And there are so many Liberians in America too, almost all the Liberian friends growing up in Ghana left for the USA.❤
Look Wodamaya Liberia and Sierra Leone are so similar in everything we should live together and do things in common and tryed hard to develop our nation's that we love peace to all.
mohamed conteh I agree! 💯%
Thanks for introducing us all to so many beautiful Africans. I just subscribed to her page today and look forward to additional information.
Exactly 💯 ❤

I'm so glad you did a video about Liberia. I left Liberia as a kid, and I would like to go back, to visit Please cover some Liberian Artist like Takun J and Christophe. As Liberian we should be the ones to rebuild the countr, basic housing, schools, and hospitals.
The government should campaign like Ghana did as far as building tourism. That is something I am interested in.
You're welcome for Liberia beautiful countries this is my country I'm love Africa thank you brother
I love her already.😘 She's humble and cute
I am Liberian too and I just can't wait to move back.
Take me with you

Brother Wode and Sister Maya in Liberia. Liberia brings so many Africans from the USA back home.
Such a beautiful interview. Congratulations Wode for this, i am so so impressed of your travels and creating an image of African Countries that you don't hear about.

Great interview about my beloved Liberia. Africans need to develop Africa.
Excellent content! Good information for the Diaspora who don't know about Liberia. Another lesser known fact: Firestone (Bridgestone) Tires owns and operates the largest rubber plantation in the world (Liberia). They have been growing rubber trees there since 1925.
i inspired by this country as im African , glad to see more forward and bright future for all Africans just dont loose hope
I've never ever feel boring with WODE MAYA Vlog, Keep on showing the world how Beautiful Africa is.
Never been to Liberia but i met many liberians under the civil war long before
It affected S/L. There where thousand ’s of liberians in sierra Leone hitting the
night clubs and been all ranchy😁
It was a special time and we where happy that many could come to S/L
and be safe it was the best times in
sierra Leone and i had à Liberian BF.😁😁and life was full of adventure.
We where young and didn’t know what
our future going to be like.
Now we have better roads let travel between the boarders and reunite.

following this lil guy is one of the reasons why I started visiting the African countries. and I love it
As an African American I definitely will visit Liberia. On another note, it is insane that you have to import rice etc.. fertile land, should definitely grow our own.
Miss Urey, now I got you a true Liberian. Thanks, Maya for the link up with my own Liberian Jue.
I think we need a mindset Leadership like in Ghana to take control Liberia's tourism
I am that guy, with the help of my other outstanding brothers and sisters.
Big up to you Brother Wode for your encouraging YT series to uplift African people globally to come home. My brother you deserve an award. Brother Wode, also beware of the trolls that are anti your YT series. Trolls are hilarious and childish too.
