    When our power of identity and self combines, Africans will be a force for good in the world. The plight of the African would be filled with beautiful narratives of people who survived extreme inhumane treatment but prevailed. The negative narratives will give way to all the many beautiful stories of the continent and of all its people around the world.

      @@TheKofinyarko reading comprehension is key and you've clearly missed the point. My comment was not about migration. It was about the assertion that Ghana keeps calling back anyone who steps on its soil. Truth is many Ghanaians who leave would be happy to never see Ghana again (and I make no judgment about that) so its a farce to say that there's something special which keeps calling people back to Ghana's soil

    Our waiters and waitresses don’t listen, it’s sad, you ordered kasapreko and you get Alomo bitters, jolloff rice and you get fried rice.. I think we need to do better. Our hospitality industry is very low below the belt. The last time I was in Ghana, I was so disappointed and got angry at one point because of the service I had from a waiter in a very nice restaurant at osu areas. We need a lot of training as people. Our professionalism in everything is way below 👇🏾

      You've hit the nail on the head. Hi, can I have a pizza with chicken and green peppers. 20 seconds later the waiter/tress will ask you what you want to order when you've already told them. Parents and teachers also need to play a part because the skill of listening has to be taught from childhood. It's very frustrating

    Awesome job to you both. Ivy is very succinct and logical. Very encouraging yet not glossing over things. So many gems about doing what it is you want to do as our time is not guaranteed. The need to look at the long term than just the immediate - a reason why our African countries still lag because a lot of our national leaders are short term thinkers always lining their pockets instead of worrying about what type of infrastructure and legal frameworks they will leave their dependents on. A shift in mindset is needed where national priorities take precedence over individual wants. We have a lot to learn from Western systems in terms of organization and creating really long term plans and ensuring there is continuity even when leaders change. The movement will grow and these conversations are so critical. Thank you both again

    Ghana 🇬🇭 THE YEAR OF RETURN WAS A DECADE PROJECTS STRUCTURE IN PROGRESS, HERE, WHY?
    Congressman Visits “Door of No Return” with Speaker Pelosi, Rep. John Lewis and other CBC Members to observe the 400th Anniversary of the First Enslaved Africans Landing in America
    WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Hank Johnson (GA-04) traveled with Speaker Nancy Pelosi on a Congressional delegation to Ghana to hold high-level discussions with Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo, Speaker Mike Oquaye and other senior government officials, and to visit U.S. Army Africa headquarters in Italy. Speaker Pelosi delivered an address to the Ghanaian Parliament.
    Solemnly, the delegation also paid its respects at Cape Coast and Elmina Castles and the “Door of No Return,” to observe the 400th Anniversary of the First Enslaved Africans Landing in America.
    “Untold numbers of Africans passed through the ‘Door of No Return’ at what are now called Elmina Castle and Cape Coast Castle beginning in the 16th Century,” said Johnson.
    “Millions died in transatlantic slave trade. Our visits to both castles revealed that they were dungeons of unspeakable cruelty and human degradation of the enslaved as well as the slave traders themselves. In 1998, the remains of former slaves (Samuel) Carson from New York and Crystal from Jamaica were returned to Ghana -- passing through The Cape Coast Castle ‘Door of No Return’ for burial. That door has been renamed ‘The Door of Return.’ It was emotionally draining to get a glimpse of the suffering endured by my ancestors as they took their last steps on the African continent walking out of the ‘Doors of No Return,’ while exhilarating to be welcomed back home by my Ghanaian brothers and sisters as we reversed our ancestors' steps to walk into the castle through the ‘Door Of Return.’”
    The delegation included the distinguished Majority Whip James Clyburn, Chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus Karen Bass, Co-Chair of the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee Congresswoman Barbara Lee and icon of the Congress, John Lewis, among several other members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
