You guys have put Ghana on the map. You have sold my country to the world to see. We love you. Come in your numbers to the motherland you are always welcome home.
Yes! I am in Ghana now. Been here since Aug and I love it! Ghana is now home to me. Now, no matter where I go or live in the world, I now know in my mind, heart and soul, that Africa is home ❤
SM D, yes sis. This is great! it is not about running from America. As matter of fact we need to own our stuff in America big time too! The oppressor fear our unity! We need to keep focused!
@James Redic If you want to move just take it slow and don't be in hurry and don't give up your citizenship. Just acquire Ghanaian citizenship as Ghana permits dual citizenship. If you want live really comfortable you will need about a $100,000 to acquire a lease in a land build a house and start a lucarative and sustainable business to enable you live comfortably. Just come and explore and integrate first before deciding to move.
James Redic u actually don’t need $100k to get a land. You can get a sizable land for about $10k or less. Always check the currency conversion before you make moves. Thanks 👍🏿

Congratulations Elder Roland coming home to Ghana and I know when you visited Elmina Castle it was so emotional, but you have now reconnected with your ancestors. Beautiful it is Africa. Elder Roland, I🖤Accra. Accra has a massively nightlife that’s full of brightness all the way. Brothers and sisters come home to Africa anywhere in our mama continent.
I WENT TO CAPE COAST TOO. I AGREE THAT we Americans of African dissent need to connect with our beginning. I learned so much from that experience. We African Americans need to understand ourselves so that we can stand strong ,tall and very proud of what we a people have overcome and achieved. I must be honest because that experience helped me so much to understand my culture in this land America. I could see that while there is a strong connection to Africa, I am an American. The way we are treated here helped shape our cultural experience, America. The ancestral African cultural foundation in addition to the adaptation of other cultural norms learned here in America helped develop the African American culture today. We do have an African American culture that has become an obvious part of the American frabric. I must admit that the experience of seeing so many people that looked like me in a country was amazing. The only way I could tell they where not American was when they spoke. For me I was mistaken too until I spoke. It is Amazing uplifting. I'm so happy that this will be broadcasted. I'm happy to see a connection with our Mother, we have been away so long....... I think that America needs to see the cape town launch. I think there should be a play or movie done so that truth can be seen.
I am happy to see our brothers and sisters come back home. Just look at how beautiful our brother Roland, and our two sisters look in their African outfits. Africa belongs to ALL black people, whether they are born on the continent or in the diaspora! PERIOD!
The salvation and the securement of black people's honor and dignity are tied to Africa's success. The day Africa returns to her ancient glorious status is the day all Blacks across the globe will be empowered. It does not matter how much billions we make in America, we will continue to be the underdogs until Africa roars her lionhearted might.
The very first time I entered the slave dungeons, I had this strange feeling deep down within me that my half cousins and half of me is long gone but I'm glad the half of me is back to the motherland in peace .
That title reminds me when Miriam Makeba returned to Southern Africa with Paul Simon for a concert saying "it feels so good to be home again" RIP Mama Africa!!
Making that pilgrimage can be helpful and healing to many of us as long as we remember that not all of us made this journey through these types of paths.

Even so, all who did come over enslaved are our ancestors and are us.
I agree, in your real home you feel safe and not like you are being watched, followed (in stores) and electronically hunted. It’s going down, black folk are going to Africa. I hear Nigeria is considering similar legislation as Ghana’s Right of Return.
Anyone wondering what we do with the chains at 8:00 (I’m Ghanaian). We worship our ancestors. We believe anyone who dies becomes a martyr in the afterlife and we summon any offender to them( that’s the African traditional religion in Ghana). Note: this isn’t the white bs Christianity. This is african traditional religion. Some towns have oracles and shrines for the ancestors who died where they pour libation and give them thanks for their fight against colonialism.
,,,The year of return is very good idea, because, from now the Racist people in USA are not going anymore to tell Black people go back to Africa, the Black America people found their home ready
Whatever Mr Martin and all other Returnees are doing today is mostly for the benefits of the future generations to come. Keep up the good job. We’ve been lied to for centuries simply to prevent what we’re witnessing today. This is the Lord’s doing and no human powers can override it. Welcome back home Brothers and Sisters.
This benefits Ghana only. No benefits for Native Blacks in America. They get our money in exchange for showing us how they sold off our ancestors. What is the lie?
@@Kimberlyncovington Are you serious right now ? Did you not listen to the interviewees? Did they not benefit from connecting or you think everything is about money?
@@diggiddi Are they planning to visit all the African countries that show up in their DNA profile. The connection was lost once the Africans shoved our ancestors into those ships. Forever robbing them of their homeland. You cannot undo 300 to 400 of seperation.
Can't wait until Roland finds out that it was our people that left the Holy Land to go into Africa in 725BC and 70AD eventually to Ghana and in all of the Continent. Shalom
There's no true written and/or archaeology evidence show Isrealite migrated from holy land. I was there last week for two weeks. My crew was among the peoples and staying in local area. We went to different towns from Ada, to Kumasi and Takorodi. We went to small town 20 min from Cape Coast was discovered by for Egyptian guard over 2000 years who protected the Pharoah and his name is Absedu Amanfi. Town name is Absedu.. There's a huge spiritual rock where you noticed his figures prints and butt/testicle on the rock. It was research by local scientists at Kwame Nkrumah UNIVERSITY..
@Black SONRISE Unless you're a descendant of the nilotic tribes I highly doubt you're "Kemetic". If you are a member of Haplogroup E(which is labeled Afro-Asiatic)which is dominant in west Africa then you are most definitely Hebrew by birth. West, central, and southeast Africa were colonized by Hebrews.
@Black SONRISE So by your reaction it's safe to say you're not nilotic. Trading the truth for fantasy is not beneficial friend. But as you have said, "peace to you".
You know the Truth and the Truth will set you free.... Our unity is the powerful truth that sets us free.....that's right!.....and they are afraid of it.......now it's happening.....the second Exodus... from the FOUR Corners of the World....Come HOME to Mother Land Queens and Kings of AFRICA....Come Home to PARADISE!
We should be very careful to know the whole truth about the geographical boundaries of what really took place. When this enslavement of our people was taking place, there was no geographical Ghana, but rather, there was a vast area designated and called as the "Slave Coast", about three-quarter of today's Ghana to the west was the Gold Coast. Most of the enslaved Africans making by land and by boats were captured from the Slave Coast between the Volta river thru today's Togo, Dahomey / Benin, and south-western parts of today's Nigeria ( all that was the Slave Coast or the Evwehland) Captured Africans making it to Elmina and CapeCoast were from the Salaga thru Asanteland into Elmina mainly by the British who had taken over Elmina from the Dutch, and now the Dutch - a different protestant nation, and the Portuguese a catholic nation had to go build a new warehouse aka dungeon for their human cargoes. If the Dutch had our people in their possession from the Slave coast, they would not send them to Elmina which was under the Portuguese who were Catholics at the earlier time. And when the Dutch took Elmina from the Portuguese, the Portuguese no longer had access to their religious warehouse of slave aka dungeon. The French being catholic would not warehouse their captured Africans in the warehouse of protestant England. We're in fact just scratching the surface of this thing as if the Gold Coast which was much smaller to today's Ghana, was where all the actions took place and all raiders of different religious nationalities were freely using Cape Coast and Elmina with some agreement to warehouse their loot of human cargos? We should NOT be carried away with high emotions and lose track of the enormity of this crime which had religious twists to it. The Ghanaian narrators are not doing a good job telling the whole truth or just simply ignorant of 80% of it all. The Gold Coast was very different from the Slave Coast, and it was named a slave coast for a reason.
Thank you for this input, there is so much that we do not know. There are many missing links and it is now time for we Africans, to rewrite our own history for the future generations. Our eyes are open, no more lies.
How has any Ghanaian narrator given any misinformation about the history of slavery? Ghana has never claimed all slaves had been from Ghana. It is a well known knowledge that the Cape Coast and Elimina Castles were used to transport slaves from all over. So where from this bullshit that Ghanaian narrator's have been giving inaccurate account. Why don't you post a link here. Every Ghanaian learned of our histories in schools and every educated Ghanaian know the events of slavery passed down to us from formal education and our traditional leaders and family. Our first president; the wise visionary Kwame Nkrumah who tried to unite the entire continent to make us powerful was not understood by we Ghanaians and the entire continent. The west who saw him as a threat colluded with his opponents to overthrow him and Ghana never got to realize it's influence and transformation like Malaysia. All we are doing as a country with the vision of the current leader is a realization that our resources are best left in the hands of our own race. So we are just inviting and welcoming them to the land of departure. Ghana is positioning itself well putting system and policies to shape the country. The rest of the African countries should start replicating to invite our brothers in the diaspora home. We are making our country attractive for the transformation agenda at hand. Stop trying to twist things as if Ghana has distorted history to capitalize on it. We have never said anywhere that every slave shipped to America were from Ghana
Agboka, please it will be better to get your informations very well. For you to be more educated on this issues please visit Ghana yourself. One thing I personally know is that it’s only Ghana or the then Gold Coast that had 33- 40 slave dungeons but currently it’s only two of them that are well known or mostly heard of by the people of the diaspora. Please visit RUclips and search for ( How many Slave Dungeons were built in Ghana) , Ghana isn’t claiming that all our brothers and sisters were taken from Ghana only or Ghana was the only place where the dungeons were built but it I believe we all as Blacks will learn from this Horrific and inhuman acts. Never again should we allow such evil act on the entire continents of Africa.

Ok I must admit that I am a little ignorant on our culture and history and hopefully someone here could help me clarify a few questions that I was not taught in the U.S. books? I know that the white man brought slaves from the west coast of Africa but how were the slaves captured? Was there a war and the slaves were taken as prisoners? Again sorry for being ignorant on this issue, I just haven’t read anything bout a war, only read bout slaves being brought but nothing bout who sold them to the white man... thx for any help clearing this up
sorry Americans on welfare, they are not ready to full commit to living in places like Ghana; just to stay in a hotel, cause the price drops when time gets close to 11pm, midnight
Like the show but please stop saying we all came from Africa. If we did here's a simple question for you, name me one slave ship in a museum? Or better yet what nation did you come from in Africa there's over 64 there? Last thing for those with the Africa thing. The etymology of Africa is a Latin world it's not African. But that word in Latin means terra, in English it means world. So when they say the people of Africa they are saying the original people of the world. I'm not bashing it's just I know. Thinking I'm lying go to etymology online dictionary and type the African in the search engine and watch what you find
damiun79 I don’t know you,but it sounds like there is a little crack in your brain,they should name one slave ship in museums,do you think the Europeans just came and said we want slaves and took them away,which slave ship will stand 500 years without corrosion,how about the 42 concrete slave castles and fort built by the Europeans,even the castles and fortresses has change hands for about 10 times due to war between the Europeans themselves,if you have visited and see the real things you will not sit down and spit any sputum words to comfort your soul,as soon as you go there you will never be who you are again,the rise and fall of Africa came from those fortresses,blood spilt,people left their rich homeland going to an unknown,they left their lands,women and men were raped,those who resisted were sent to choking dungeons and you can still see their gnashing teeth and the claws of their finger nails on the stone concretes walls when they were choking to die.Ashantis fought the British for 130 years war the British gathered all their colonies army in the world and use it to fight the Ashanti’s,the Ashanti’s were defeated and all the 54 paramount chiefs were sent to Seychelles,the last Ashanti war with the British was fought by Queen Yaa Asantewaa from 1900 to 1901 and she was defeated she was raped and her eyes were plucked out they took her to Seychelles island and she died there,there still that you people don’t know,nobody can stay in that fortresses because there still spirits of some ancestors who died a miserable death and their spirit still lives there that is why nobody can stay in those fortresses and paint don’t stain in the walls of those buildings.If you want more information write back.
64 nations in Africa?? Really? I hope you meant 54. Anyway, the present day national borders of Africa were created during the Berlin conferences of 1884/85 and therefore have no relevance to Africans in the diaspora since the borders were created after the abolition of slavery in the West. Africans in the diaspora didn't come from these 54 countries, they came from ethnic groups not countries.
@Becky Britin welp here's the eytomology of that word. Africa (n.) Latin Africa (terra) "African land, Libya, the Carthaginian territory, the province of Africa; Africa as a continent," fem. of adjective Africus, from Afer "an African," a word of uncertain origin. The Latin word originally was used only in reference to the region around modern Tunisia; it gradually was extended to the whole continent. Derivation from a Phoenician cognate of Arabic afar"dust, earth" is tempting. The Middle English word was Affrike.
@@morrisonjonathan4313 so what was the name of the fort off the coast of florida that stands today? Mordern times they called it Fort Gadsden. But before that it was called Fort Negro. So how is it we had whole forts here? Im not looking to my brothers and sisters in Africa over there because our history is here. More so than most know. Most Africans well tell us we're not African and that's been told to me before.
Africa America, we love u in Africa . You should tour more across ancestral land ,Africa , and embrace your original African cultures. Our African land is rich within and abundant with natural resources that whites invariably envy. I urge Africa union to grant every African American a passport.
Those building are originally trading forts to protect gold and other precious commodities,and later converted to house humans, please educate yourself before you make rash comments

Point of correction. Kumasi is in Ashanti Region not in the Western Region.
The Nations of Africa must promote, "The Rule Of Law", with Strong Constitutions before there can be any mass, "Exodus".
Right
Roland stop interrupting your guest.
That's a sign of excitement 😉
Whatever Mr Martin and all other Returnees are doing today is mostly for the benefits of the future generations to come.
Keep up the good job. We’ve been lied to for centuries simply to prevent what we’re witnessing today. This is the Lord’s doing and no human powers can override it.
Welcome back home Brothers and Sisters.
This benefits Ghana only. No benefits for Native Blacks in America. They get our money in exchange for showing us how they sold off our ancestors. What is the lie?
Kimberlyn Covington
You’re a lie. You’re not an African -American. You are apparently benefiting from the division. The tactic of divide and conquer.
@@Kimberlyncovington Are you serious right now ? Did you not listen to the interviewees? Did they not benefit from connecting or you think everything is about money?
@@diggiddi Are they planning to visit all the African countries that show up in their DNA profile. The connection was lost once the Africans shoved our ancestors into those ships. Forever robbing them of their homeland. You cannot undo 300 to 400 of seperation.
@Eric boamah Well African, let me inform you why blacks in American have British and Scottish last names. It is the last name of our slave masters.
Welcome home Martin
Senegal, Gambia, Cape Verde and Guinea are all peaceful countries and would well come every black people all over the glob
Can't wait until Roland finds out that it was our people that left the Holy Land to go into Africa in 725BC and 70AD eventually to Ghana and in all of the Continent. Shalom
Well put, shalom
There's no true written and/or archaeology evidence show Isrealite migrated from holy land. I was there last week for two weeks. My crew was among the peoples and staying in local area. We went to different towns from Ada, to Kumasi and Takorodi. We went to small town 20 min from Cape Coast was discovered by for Egyptian guard over 2000 years who protected the Pharoah and his name is Absedu Amanfi. Town name is Absedu.. There's a huge spiritual rock where you noticed his figures prints and butt/testicle on the rock. It was research by local scientists at Kwame Nkrumah UNIVERSITY..
Que Pasa señor?
@Black SONRISE Unless you're a descendant of the nilotic tribes I highly doubt you're "Kemetic". If you are a member of Haplogroup E(which is labeled Afro-Asiatic)which is dominant in west Africa then you are most definitely Hebrew by birth. West, central, and southeast Africa were colonized by Hebrews.
@Black SONRISE So by your reaction it's safe to say you're not nilotic. Trading the truth for fantasy is not beneficial friend. But as you have said, "peace to you".
I know right? I can't wait to go

We should be very careful to know the whole truth about the geographical boundaries of what really took place.
When this enslavement of our people was taking place, there was no geographical Ghana, but rather, there was a vast area designated and called as the "Slave Coast", about three-quarter of today's Ghana to the west was the Gold Coast.
Most of the enslaved Africans making by land and by boats were captured from the Slave Coast between the Volta river thru today's Togo, Dahomey / Benin, and south-western parts of today's Nigeria ( all that was the Slave Coast or the Evwehland)
Captured Africans making it to Elmina and CapeCoast were from the Salaga thru Asanteland into Elmina mainly by the British who had taken over Elmina from the Dutch, and now the Dutch - a different protestant nation, and the Portuguese a catholic nation had to go build a new warehouse aka dungeon for their human cargoes.
If the Dutch had our people in their possession from the Slave coast, they would not send them to Elmina which was under the Portuguese who were Catholics at the earlier time. And when the Dutch took Elmina from the Portuguese, the Portuguese no longer had access to their religious warehouse of slave aka dungeon.
The French being catholic would not warehouse their captured Africans in the warehouse of protestant England.
We're in fact just scratching the surface of this thing as if the Gold Coast which was much smaller to today's Ghana, was where all the actions took place and all raiders of different religious nationalities were freely using Cape Coast and Elmina with some agreement to warehouse their loot of human cargos?
We should NOT be carried away with high emotions and lose track of the enormity of this crime which had religious twists to it. The Ghanaian narrators are not doing a good job telling the whole truth or just simply ignorant of 80% of it all. The Gold Coast was very different from the Slave Coast, and it was named a slave coast for a reason.
Thank you for this input, there is so much that we do not know. There are many missing links and it is now time for we Africans, to rewrite our own history for the future generations. Our eyes are open, no more lies.
I would like to know more.
How has any Ghanaian narrator given any misinformation about the history of slavery? Ghana has never claimed all slaves had been from Ghana. It is a well known knowledge that the Cape Coast and Elimina Castles were used to transport slaves from all over. So where from this bullshit that Ghanaian narrator's have been giving inaccurate account. Why don't you post a link here. Every Ghanaian learned of our histories in schools and every educated Ghanaian know the events of slavery passed down to us from formal education and our traditional leaders and family. Our first president; the wise visionary Kwame Nkrumah who tried to unite the entire continent to make us powerful was not understood by we Ghanaians and the entire continent. The west who saw him as a threat colluded with his opponents to overthrow him and Ghana never got to realize it's influence and transformation like Malaysia. All we are doing as a country with the vision of the current leader is a realization that our resources are best left in the hands of our own race. So we are just inviting and welcoming them to the land of departure. Ghana is positioning itself well putting system and policies to shape the country. The rest of the African countries should start replicating to invite our brothers in the diaspora home. We are making our country attractive for the transformation agenda at hand. Stop trying to twist things as if Ghana has distorted history to capitalize on it. We have never said anywhere that every slave shipped to America were from Ghana
Agboka, please it will be better to get your informations very well. For you to be more educated on this issues please visit Ghana yourself. One thing I personally know is that it’s only Ghana or the then Gold Coast that had 33- 40 slave dungeons but currently it’s only two of them that are well known or mostly heard of by the people of the diaspora. Please visit RUclips and search for ( How many Slave Dungeons were built in Ghana) , Ghana isn’t claiming that all our brothers and sisters were taken from Ghana only or Ghana was the only place where the dungeons were built but it I believe we all as Blacks will learn from this Horrific and inhuman acts. Never again should we allow such evil act on the entire continents of Africa.

Martin, please tell me that you are permanently leaving the USA for some place in Africa - then you will be home !
Black diaspora please come to east Africa
Ok I must admit that I am a little ignorant on our culture and history and hopefully someone here could help me clarify a few questions that I was not taught in the U.S. books? I know that the white man brought slaves from the west coast of Africa but how were the slaves captured? Was there a war and the slaves were taken as prisoners? Again sorry for being ignorant on this issue, I just haven’t read anything bout a war, only read bout slaves being brought but nothing bout who sold them to the white man... thx for any help clearing this up
Stop being sarcastic.
Do you have an answer or are you just saying nothing??
We are the prodigal sons and daughters why else would they want us to go home..

What's a French flag doing on the other canoe? Looks strange to me!
Like the show but please stop saying we all came from Africa. If we did here's a simple question for you, name me one slave ship in a museum? Or better yet what nation did you come from in Africa there's over 64 there? Last thing for those with the Africa thing. The etymology of Africa is a Latin world it's not African. But that word in Latin means terra, in English it means world. So when they say the people of Africa they are saying the original people of the world. I'm not bashing it's just I know. Thinking I'm lying go to etymology online dictionary and type the African in the search engine and watch what you find
damiun79 I don’t know you,but it sounds like there is a little crack in your brain,they should name one slave ship in museums,do you think the Europeans just came and said we want slaves and took them away,which slave ship will stand 500 years without corrosion,how about the 42 concrete slave castles and fort built by the Europeans,even the castles and fortresses has change hands for about 10 times due to war between the Europeans themselves,if you have visited and see the real things you will not sit down and spit any sputum words to comfort your soul,as soon as you go there you will never be who you are again,the rise and fall of Africa came from those fortresses,blood spilt,people left their rich homeland going to an unknown,they left their lands,women and men were raped,those who resisted were sent to choking dungeons and you can still see their gnashing teeth and the claws of their finger nails on the stone concretes walls when they were choking to die.Ashantis fought the British for 130 years war the British gathered all their colonies army in the world and use it to fight the Ashanti’s,the Ashanti’s were defeated and all the 54 paramount chiefs were sent to Seychelles,the last Ashanti war with the British was fought by Queen Yaa Asantewaa from 1900 to 1901 and she was defeated she was raped and her eyes were plucked out they took her to Seychelles island and she died there,there still that you people don’t know,nobody can stay in that fortresses because there still spirits of some ancestors who died a miserable death and their spirit still lives there that is why nobody can stay in those fortresses and paint don’t stain in the walls of those buildings.If you want more information write back.
64 nations in Africa?? Really? I hope you meant 54. Anyway, the present day national borders of Africa were created during the Berlin conferences of 1884/85 and therefore have no relevance to Africans in the diaspora since the borders were created after the abolition of slavery in the West.
Africans in the diaspora didn't come from these 54 countries, they came from ethnic groups not countries.
@@pagashow1 yea the Berlin conference was to carve up those lands after European conquered it. Logic how someone from another country dividing it up.
@Becky Britin welp here's the eytomology of that word.
Africa (n.)
Latin Africa (terra) "African land, Libya, the Carthaginian territory, the province of Africa; Africa as a continent," fem. of adjective Africus, from Afer "an African," a word of uncertain origin. The Latin word originally was used only in reference to the region around modern Tunisia; it gradually was extended to the whole continent. Derivation from a Phoenician cognate of Arabic afar"dust, earth" is tempting. The Middle English word was Affrike.
@@morrisonjonathan4313 so what was the name of the fort off the coast of florida that stands today? Mordern times they called it Fort Gadsden. But before that it was called Fort Negro. So how is it we had whole forts here? Im not looking to my brothers and sisters in Africa over there because our history is here. More so than most know. Most Africans well tell us we're not African and that's been told to me before.

Africa America, we love u in Africa . You should tour more across ancestral land ,Africa , and embrace your original African cultures. Our African land is rich within and abundant with natural resources that whites invariably envy. I urge Africa union to grant every African American a passport.
Hmmm ... a lot of "slave infrastructure" in Ghana ... maybe they can provide some reparations for their part.
IT WAS NOT BUILD BY GHANAIANS.
Those building are originally trading forts to protect gold and other precious commodities,and later converted to house humans, please educate yourself before you make rash comments
Reparations to who?why?
