- In Ghana, Nana is a title reserved for royalty. It is also a title reserved for the ancestors. I dedicate this video to our ancestors.

Ha! So the Thumbs Downs are adding up...no worries...it seems as if a lot of people from the continent of Africa are upset at 'fake Black-Americans' visiting countries on the continent. These rude comments are being removed and some are being blocked. Sigh. Sigh. and Sigh.
Thanks for lending an example to what I stated above. :-)
Thumbs up from me. If you know your history you will know where you are coming from. Buffalo Soldier And he was taken from Africa, brought to America Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival BTW still fighting today.
Dearie, do not mind the trolls. For a fact, they are not Ghanaians. We are warm people and very accepting. Let nothing discourage you from feeling African. You are black for a reason, and Ghana loves you. I very much enjoy your blogs too. Stay blessed.
Thank you so much!
I'm a Ghanaian, and I really love you taking the bold step to visit the land of your forefathers , I wish you'll return with your family and have a permanent stay. You're welcome to wakanda , I love you.
Yes the door of return.Ghana has opened it door for you to come back home to your motherland .i wish those who want to come back home all the best .
Thanks
Thank you....I'm coming to see this..
Thank you Ghana, I'm ready...
Ghanaians are too intelligent.The narrator is very good!Inspirational history!..Ghana is a blessed land for the black!
Amen!
Right from history, Ghanaians have been the biggest Africa sell out up to date. .
ororoboy yoyo ganja all people in all
Races are sell outs
Personally, I don't think West Africans are blessed but feel they've been punished for kidnapping and selling everyone they could get their hands on. Look at the turmoil, poverty, illiteracy, corruption and thousands of wars they've been through over the last 400 years. The number of people West Africans kidnapped and sold filled up the Caribbean, Belize, Brazil, Cuba, USA, Mexico, Columbia, Venezuela and all countries in the Americas. They have been punished by God and the awful condition they live in today are the result of them selling their people. And they still buy and sell slaves today. It's hard for me to understand how Black Americans put Africans on high pedestals when their ancestors are the ones who did the kidnapping and selling of people but despise the white people who bought our ancestors. They were all in on it together. We're here and we're from the Americas a land our ancestor helped to built and we should honor their legacy. Not with anger but with pride. Know history but don't make up fantasies about it.
@Wonder Boy you just want negative attention.
I'm Ghanaian and I'm crying with all of you. This was really emotional to watch. At other clips I've seen on youtube I was mainly angry, especially with white people, but your clip made sad to the core. Your ancestors are my ancestors. My family established the town near the last bath. There will come a day that those who wronged our ancestors and us, will have their payment in full. Don't mind the trolls. There are a lot of white people with fake black accounts roaming black youtubers vlogs, posting comments to divide.
White people alive today are not responsible for what happened several hundred years ago.
@@AmandaFromWisconsin White people and whatever consequences are meted out to them, is completely out of our control, so talk to God about it.
Akoben Renaissance Yes I'm a white person sorry for doing that :(
@@AmandaFromWisconsin How very true but slavery didn't start with white people and I am white and find history very interesting
@@AmandaFromWisconsin But they benefited from it a lot of modern white wealth comes from slaves.
Yes, a MILLION thanks!!! If it weren't for them, there would be no me. I'm their legacy and I'm proud of where I come from. I will ALWAYS represent and honor them through my life. ❤️ Knowledge is power for us all, throughout the diaspora. Peace and love.
It will forever remain in our minde
YES! YES AND YES💪💪💪
A few weeks ago I visited the Whitney Plantation located in Wallace, LA - this plantation has been turned into a museum where the focus is on the slaves and slave children of the Whitney. It's the first museum of its kind in America. To your point about people saying "if it were them...they would do this or wouldn't allow this to happen...or refuse to be a slave, etc...". We have to keep in mind, once the slaves reached these shores in America, they were in a foreign land....even when many tried to runaway - they had no idea where they were going. Because all they knew was the plantation. It's easy to say what one wouldn't do in the comforts of this day however back then - slavery was NORMAL.
Slaves on the Whitney Plantation worked 16-18 hours a day - 6 sometimes 7 days a week! Their life spans were on average 10 years! No one in this day can ever say what they would or wouldn't do back then...that was an entirely different era...
There is a community name Whitney in Clarendon Jamaica!
I am making plans to visit. Any suggestions?
Amen!!
I think you forget many Africans escaped slavery and reached North America and Canada, Don't forget Harriet the greatest Heroin in history and Nat Turner who started one of biggest slave revolt in America. In the Caribbean the African gave the slave masters hell, many revolts has been recorded the Maroons in Jamaica fought 3 wars with the British, the black Caribs of St Vincent fought the British also and thr Africans of Haiti drove the French out and formed the first independant nation in the Western Hemisphere. Slavery was the worst thing to happen some black people, but we all of us didn't take it lying down.
Crying real tears. I have no choice but to be great, to live in purpose, to live in gratitude, to continue the legacy. No more surviving, start living.
Yes Lord Amen Hallelujah!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great inspiration
Everyone our Ancestors gave us life now it's time that we all take a trip to their Homeland and walk through the door of Return so we can take them Back Home Where They Belong. Thank To My Ancestors For My Existence I Love You And I Honor You.
My Fiance is Ghanaian and from Cape Coast and volunteers at the Castle at times. I sent him this video. This was TOO deep and touching. THANK YOU, for honoring our ancestors 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I am from Ghana and I loved your comments and videos. One thing you said that i shed tears. You spoke about the fact they would have a church on top of the dungeons. And the irony is that over 70% of Ghanaians identify with the Christian region. This is sad.
We need to go back to our way of worship and shut the adversary down he is masquerading in the religion called CHRISTIANITY.
Les noirs continuent d'aller encore à l'église du diable. Mais quand comprendront ils ?
@Romain Ftz. Who the hell speaks that stupid, useless French language? The one that sounds like confused babies blowing spit bubbles? Speak English. France is not a world power and will never be a world power ever again. They depend on “les noirs” to even be able to eat in the morning. More than 3 former French fried presidents (Mitterrand, Jacques) and others have acknowledged this reality. Not at all impressed with the [St]ench language at all dude.
We Are Alive Y'all Because They Chose To Survive. Thank You Ancestors.
I will be showing this video to my students.
I had the same Elmina tour guide back in December 2017. He was really good in elaborating on the historical events that happened back then.
Thank you my ancestors for being strong so that I may live. I give it all to you.
This really hurts my heart I love my people ....
I wish we all could just live in peace and show love to each other....
Your words at the end completely broke me😢 Yes! Thank you so much to your ancestors who had the strength to survive those times so that you may live today❤️
This brought tears to my eyes. May their souls rest in peace.
This was so moving and powerful, I really appreciate you sharing this with us.
As I lay here e watching this video with my seven-year-old granddaughter I am speechless, this was a very powerful and meaningful video! I give thanks to my ancestors who survived, for this I am thankful and grateful! So thank you very much for sharing! Love peace and joy Ms. Inya ❤️❤️❤️💓💓💓🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Awww thank you so much Ms. Inya!
Don’t matter where you go, Remember the Road that will Lead you Home 😭😭✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
That door of No return got me and that sea. My ancestors and myself never got to return back to their homeland. It was great y'all got to return back, it is very sad.
Thank you for posting your visit to Ghana. This is an international trip I will take in 2020. Watching this I cried and will again when I visit. Your words: Thank you Nana's for enduring so that we can live today. Very nicely done!
Thank you so much!
@@FunandBudget I will message you here when I make my way back home next year. So to be continued!

U most welcome
Thank you for sharing! Extremely powerful and certainly moving experience.... Hard to find words to truly define these emotions.
Everyday is a black history month!!
White too
I am Spanish and I have no idea if my direct ancestors were involved in this sort of thing, but I wish slavery didn’t happen and my heart is broken to hear this story. Money and power can make men greedy and turn against his Human brother. Best wishes to all of you that descend from those enslaved people and may God bless you and your ancestors in Heaven. I would like to visit this site one day to pay respects. ¡Saludos!
You enslaved central and south america and we enslaved the africans. Iberian peninsula power 💪🇵🇹🇪🇦💪
Your ancestors could have been on either side my friend your ancestors could have been enslaved or they could have been slave-drivers depending on where you're from what part of the country you're from and if you are afro Spaniard or not
I felt this. Thank you 🙏🏾

This video so säd make me cry
Wow thanks for sharing this great story
that was spiritual
Thank you
Thumbs down? Really? WHAT THE F***!?!? I admire ur page sister. Thx for capturing this on video. I've been aware of the tours in Ghana since '92 but never set a goal to go. I'm decently read on our history from Africa and I feel ur energy and the energy that ur conveying from this whole experience. One of the key reasons why I don't condone using the word nigga in everyday talk. Will correct a brother if I hear him address me as nigga; or calling a black woman "bitch". Thx for sharing this.
10:40 This Is Prophesied In Scripture & Our Restoration Is Also Prophesied❣️
Wow this video is very moving very deep very insightful
Good work but my only question is is the Christian God real or fiction coz the same people who brought Christianity to us maltreated us even up till now and in their Bible since colonial year it was stated that do good and move to heaven and do bad and u go to hell so my question is where they not aware of their DOINGS?
Thanks for sharing....
We forgive but never forget.... Ancestors will avenge
Hello! I’m heading to Ghana next week and wanting to know if it free to visit there or should I book with a travel company? Thanks
It's not free, but you can go there on your own and just pay to get in.
I'm going to Ghana in November for the 7th time and I want to start a youtube channel. What camera did you use for your vlogging?
I use a canon g7x mark II...but when I first started blogging, I used my cellphone.
very informative video, Thank you
Ghanaian= jamaïcan= same fighting spirit
And usa Americans too
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I always cry when I get in the castle and I move in there for a purpose
Very beautiful video. Nice place. Great work friends.
Very sad story slave dungeon in Ghana Africa 🌍🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Nice architecture very beautiful castle. 💪🇵🇹
Stupid comment
Amazing video. Eye opening. Which song is that playing at the very start of this video? The instrumental
Its one of the stock songs that comes with iMovie. I think it's only called piano ballad.
@@FunandBudget I just found it. "One and only" by Adele
Its definitely not that song...if it were I'd have a youtube copyright issue.
@@FunandBudget trust me it is. Go listen to it
Great video, very emotionally and I felt like I was part of the visit.
Thank you for this😢
thanks for sharing
Good quality what did you shoot it with?
Thanks...this is with a Canon G7 mark II
Am a Ghanaian and an African I feel ashamed that our people could be lured into selling our own for foolish things like tobacco. I feel your pain
Derrick Ansah - I feel your pain as well, but I would encourage you to dispell any feelings of shame.
There is little discussion on the level of DECEIT that was present in those who were intent on enslaving Hue-mans! When you are confronted by a demonic force that only sees you as a "natural resource" (diamonds, gold, uranium, coal, cadmium, oxen, cattle, etc...), deems you to be "savages" because of living IN HARMONY with the land that the Almighty God & Creator of the universe has ENTRUSTED to HUE-mans to take CARE of, you/we were/are dealing with an entity that has stopped at NOTHING to get what they want! Consider this link: ruclips.net/video/eGCK2RGVnKA/видео.html
Is anyone talking about how these KIDNAPPERS and enslavers LIED about this "better place" to which they were taking our Ancestors? Does anyone acknowledge that the place the enslavers may have said they were taking Ghanaians to was once CONNECTED TO AFRIKA (before the tectonic plates expanded) - - our Ancestors WALKED THE LANDS OF THE AMERICAS in ancient days!! We KEPT our history and passed it down to each generation and maintained our SPIRITUAL connection as well to those who walked the Americas.
By virtue of that, your Ghanaian Ancestors likely thought that these beings were taking their families to their "ancient stomping grounds"! There's no shame in that! We have to reconnect to the REALITY & TRUTH of the power, importance and existence of the Spiritual realm/world that exists. It is this same realm from which beings who would enslave anyone would want to keep us from, for it IS the place from which we gain our power & wisdom. The deceivers distracted your Ghanaian Ancestors from that with tobacco, rum and false promises, man-made "technology" (guns, cannons) to not just keep enemies at bay, but tools that could KILL and ELIMINATE any enemy!
Don't feel bad my brutha! Somehow, in God's plan, we were meant to be BACK on the soil of the Americas. We, as African-Americans may have endured being enslaved here for 400+ years, but as the host of this vlog has asked, what are WE DOING now that we are here (and we are STILL here in great number!!!!!!!)?
Fool. They were captured. Stop believing the lies.
Do you Know what you talk about? Do you think africans can sell their own for this bullshit?
Your learn your history on the oppressors books? O feel sorry for you.
Derick u have been misinformed, point of correction they did not sell their own ppl, the white ppl captured them as he said if u heard it right? Do your research well
It wasn't that simple. If you refused to work with the slavers, they gave weapons to another tribe, and the other tribe would capture your people and sell them into slavery.
Wow. Powerful and very emotional. I, too, am grateful for my/our ancestors (Native American Indian and African American) for all the sacrifices...they are truly courageous and strong. Thank you for posting this.
You have white tie and they made sacrifices too. Dont leave them out
@@yaruqadishi8326 Really? Tell me more...
@@sexyellex majority of Black Americans are white ancestry
@@yaruqadishi8326 Really? Why do you believe that would be so?
@@sexyellex because oncensus and historic facts etc say that and other things as well.
beautiful ,welcome african queen!don t mind some people passing for african trolling
Thank you!
@@FunandBudget you welcome !
damn...u went deep on this one, thnx
Dear, I understand your genuine feeling. But the hope in Christ is that those westerners were extremely bad Christians in as much as Christianity is not of them, Jesus Christ is Christianity and the best example! I hope you have have hope in my humble love!
😪😪✊🏿✊🏿🇯🇲🇬🇭
I wonder if Yaa Gyasi got the name fifi from the tour guard for “homegoing”🤔
I ended up crying《this is so so sad》
Who was capturing them?🤔🤔🤔🤔
Amen if it wasn't for them it would not be no us
Respect for Ghanian from Ethiopia even though most African american today they hate to visit west africans they prefer east africa to welcomed in Ethiopia Eritrea and Sudanese due of their skin colour ,b/c Black Americans skin colour is changed mostly they look like east Africans they more different than Ghanian ,Cameron or all west Africans no matter what skin colour we are, light skin dark skin moor etc we all are children's of african root wellcome home to all African countries the return door is open for y"ll black americans and Europeans we love you not you are better than us or you live in america but we can't stand by our heart to see black daily killed by police brutality on social media,so come home take some ancestor spiritual energy connect with your people then you not feel a lone , build your home here in Africa make some business like hotel ,real state etc you will make a lot of money from it because European invest in Africa a lot , never throw your USA passport too go back to USA work hard and invest in your home that's good for our country and you too but for those poor black Americans come home we love you all whether you are rich or poor Africa is big wide than USA +Europe+China +India 😍😍😍
I don't think African-americans 'hate' to visit the west...I just think that a lot of the countries in the west are not easy for tourist to navigate. The countries East Africa and countries like Egypt have a thriving tourist industry. West Africa isn't there yet.
@@FunandBudget there are a lot of black Americans those who call them self Hebrews who hate west Africans they spread hates on social media
Oh man...that is so sad
How is it that one can still remand to by a Christian after knowing all of this. Wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😥
My dear brother, Jesus Christ didn't ask them to do this thing to us. Christ is not an American or a European,. Jesus Christ was a Jewish man. Isreal didn't enslave Africa. Those heartless slave master used the catholic church for their own purpose. They twisted the Word of God for their own selfish purpose. They misinterpreted scriptures such as, "servants, submit yourselves to your masters". So you see they tortured our people physically, mentally, emotionally and spirituality. They twisted the Word of God to make our ancestors accept that Even "God" was in support of what they were doing.
I believe the Roman Catholic Church own a lot of excuse to the African continent.
However, that they twisted the gospel for their own ambition doesn't cancel the fact that God loves mankind and Sent His Son to die for our sins so you and I can have eternal life when we believe.
The fact that they twisted the gospel doesn't mean that the Word of God is not true.
God bless u Mr Crew.
I thought they established churches everywhere? not Ghana alone
physically every black women is a slave this why in Africa or a race we are poor and fighting and killing our self... it's time for our mothers the black women to unite and end money poverty politically.... Power to our mothers party.... This is what we are campaign for now in Ghana and Africa.... everything we know as men we learn from our mothers the black women.... Power to our mothers
Is so sad what happened in the past ..
How cruel someone must be to order to build something like this.
😭😭😭
Let's not forget...
And then what hurt me even more is once these people were sold into bondage once they made it over the ocean and they were let out the ship and took to these different places to be sold at the market they would break the families up they would break the mother up from her children or husband-wife etc it was horrible it was daunting to know that you have a child that you love and one day you will never see them again in every night you go to sleep thinking and hoping that they will return but hoping that they are well and that nothing happened to them we literally call each other brother and sister and our community because a lot of us are brothers and sisters thus Rd Ina has been used in such a horrible way during their breeding farms in different ways of eradicating money from the system when they could no longer captive slaves from Africa so they would force family members to sleep with each other or they would sell family members to Jamaica Puerto Rico Dominican Republic etc if they were really rebellious and so we literally are brothers and sisters and I guaranteed you all of us share some connection and DNA when it comes to African-Americans the West Indies etc and you know white people and other people that enslaved us don't understand the full neglect and damage they have done to erase and a community of people from a America's toto keep us apart and I don't think they understand the death of trauma and damage they've done to the community in Africa and in America by not allowing families to grow as one by not allowing us to be married in an acknowledged a true marriage by making us worse than cattle by abusing Us in such a manner that we lost hope so we only had our slave mistress and master to look forward to any regards of humanity and I don't think people understand how powerful that is amongst One race of people because of the color of their skin and so it takes a tremendous amount of knowledge and love to understand one's perception of hurt when it comes to people that come from a black lineage and that's because we are still to this day treated very badly anybody anywhere in any part of the country that is dark is treated very bad because of the color of their skin Europeans were very good at convincing the whole entire world that white is superior and black is bad and inferior😅 and this makes a hell of a lot of difference when you're going to make things do things or venture out and that's one of the reasons why I believe reparations should be given
Most of the people are ghaanaian cerena Williams can be a pure ghanaian mike tyson and so many others are all ghanaian. But is hard to trace their homes
Africa is Home.
May you tell me why tribes in Ghana were fighting for before they sold the captives to the Dutch ?
May you tell me why tribes in Israel were fighting and they sold the captives to Egypt - go and study the history of the world
@@FunandBudget Sorry but your commentary is not helping me to understand my History as a Akan descent. My commentary was not ironic.
@@samuelb.8951 Oh sorry - I get a lot of ironic comments and yours sounded like one
😢😢
Physically every black women is a slave this is why in Africa or as a we are poor and fighting and killing our self... it's time for our mothers the black women to unite and end money poverty politically.... this is what are campaign for now in Ghana and Africa.. Power to our mothers party.....
This sad !!!
😊😊😊👍🏿👌🏿🙌🏿🙏🏿
It is important to examine Christianity on its merits and not to conclude that because slave traders built churches Christianity endorsed enslavement..
What is so evil and malicious about the situation is the Portuguese built that house will have the slaves build that beautiful home they would capture and put the sleeves in bondage underneath the church and go and pray to God that is at ruthless evil wicked then I don't know what is no man can tell me that that isn't evil that that wasn't something that a normal person would do you catch your women children and babies put them in bondage underneath of church and then press it was horrible it was horrible horrible depression that my ancestors suffered from and not only my ancestors in the antebellum self but all of my people across the West Indies and back and my people in Africa who also suffered at the hands of many colonizers and they still are
Those were the true Israelites, the sons of Jacob.
The GA people on the coast actual inhabitants of the present day greater Accra region in Ghana. Raided the Osu castle fought the British soldiers, killed most of them andslayed k Sir Charles McCarthy.
Oh wow...that something they left out of the tour.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It`s a hustle folks! They are there to make money$$$! Capitalism!
If u intend to live in an African state permanently, u would need to have citizenship.Land should be bought from a real estate agent.
