VOA Our Voices 206: Year of the Return
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- Ghana’s 2019 Year of Return marks the 400th anniversary of the brutal Trans-Atlantic slave trade. The country has launched a monumental "homecoming" campaign, aimed at persuading people of African descent to return to Africa to live, to visit and to invest. This week, #VOAOurVoices looks back at Ghana's Year of Return. We take you to the capital, Accra, to speak to "returnees" about their decision. Angeline Addy, from the Embassy of Ghana in Washington joins the program. The team also discusses the challenges and realities facing Africans who "return home".

Don't be proud, be humble and smart.
I don't know where my ancestors are from but I'm sure they were Taken from Ghana.

There is no pressure. It is a call. You can choose to respond or not. No one is forcing anyone. Even in the most dangerous places you live there. Leave Ghana alone.

I havent it made it yet to the mother land or not whether if want me or not im not afraid of humans for jehovah is my god and soon. He will execute judgment on this earth earth belongs to know one but the creator
@@jl2284123 blah blah blah blah blah blah blah - with this attitude - STAY WHERE YOU ARE - !!! We dont entertain such attitudes on our soil - so stay where you are.
Ghana has already earned 1.9 billion dollars from year of return this year a lone. Many who thought Africa was a jungle had a different mindset about Africa after they visited Ghana. The economy is gaining ground and people from the diaspora are trooping in. There are challenges in every economy but give and take Ghana is much better and holding its own.
False report lol. Not even close
People state it's just to take your money. I will rather give the money to Ghana than trips to Paris, anywhere in Europe, China or any other group. They have been stealing our money as African Americans and oppressing us with the same money we spend with them in USA. I rather spend it in Ghana and give it to Africans.
Teddy Imani not false
Is a false
Teddy Imani it’s true
We need to stop letting these heathen organizations tell our story. I just came back from Ghana and loved it. I suggest all Africans to continue to work together for the progress of our race.
There is only one race. The Human race.

I'm happy for the invitation. I went to Ghana in January 2020 and loved it!
The beautiful lady said take a course in African-American history. I’ve never heard that before but she is 100% correct. Great job sister.
Why the negative comments. This was very informative. Not everything about returning to Africa must be romanticised. I moved back to Ghana when I was 27 from London and after 6 years of living there I decided to make both UK and Ghana my home instead of just dedicating myself to one location. Because at the end of the day both places has its perks NO WHERE ON EARTH is perfect and we need to start to see ourselves as global citizens of the world and not just a location.
By your moniker I assume you are tied to the white music industry which requires selling spiritual poison to blacks for profit. Some of us are not just concerned about perks. Ghana was colonized by the UK and is still being exploited the UK. Your obligation as a African is to work as a agent for Africa to repatriate stolen resources from the UK to Africa. I have homes and businesses in the US and several African countries. I was born in the US, but my native home is Africa. European societies will never truly see Africans as citizens of those countries. We are global citizens of Africa which is not located in one geographical location - it is located in your heart. In the end, you will never be truly accepted in Europeans societies and YOUR ULTIMATE DEGREE OF ACCEPTANCE IS DEPENDANT UPON THE RISE AND PROSPERITY OF ONE PLACE ON EARTH - AFRICA. So, you keep believing the delusion, some of us will continue work for the prosperity of our people on the earth as it really exists.
You are a citizen of the world huh.....lol....delusions 😂😂🤣
@@u.s.lawyer8542 i couldn't have said it
Perfectly like you ,you just said it all
That's amazing how u put it
There it is. From Day 1
Sending 💞 thank you for writing my thoughts. I'm an African in UK, Oo!
P.E.A.C.E
I think the best thing to consider is to know why you want to go to Africa. You can't just wake up one day and say I'm going because Africa is calling. A lot of people have succeeded and making it. Those who find it difficult to settle are probably the ones who didn't do any research before moving to Africa. We must also understand that not everyone can make it in their own way. Sometimes we must consult and cooperate.
The first!!! Let’s go Ghana, Eden.... Africa
Ghana has always been at the forefront of pan Africanism. kwame Nkrumah really did a lot of work and he will be smiling now. Marcus Garvey also tried to do same when he introduced Black Star Line to repatriate Africans back from the diaspora. Africa is getting there though slow.
Ghana is working ...God bless Africa...welcome home our bloods
I am really starting to feel Ghana and feel like I would have to take a trip there. They are doing a great job.
These lovely ladies are so comfortable with their lives in the US and seem to be scared of returning to Africa. Fact is, Africa is rising, and needs talented people to join in building and rebranding Africa.
There're many resources in Africa, and with our exposure, education and wealth gained abroad, we should start thinking of returning and setting up small scale businesses all over Africa. The western world is fully build and congested, but there're unlimited opportunities in Africa. Those franchise like Starbucks can be rebrand in Africa, raw materials like caffee, cocoa, etc. can be processed to add value before being exported. Jobs will be created and our people will have hope. Remember ladies, until we develop Africa, blacks will never be respected. For our dignity sake, we must sacrifice and uplift Africa for our next generation.
I get the impression that non of these women are real African Americans.That sounds offensive but this show appear to be pretending that they are telling the story ofdescendents of slavery in the diaspora when they are really having the story of children of African parents.This appear to be a phony pretense to allow recent immigrants to replace long term diaspora people who have suffered hundreds of years of brutality,rape ,murder and betrayal to now have young people who have never suffered in blood and terror to pretend these groups care the same.We need to bring about a healing and not divisiveness and betrayal.African Americans have suffered far too much to have recent immigrants pretend they are us.Some of those young ladies should have pointed out the difference.The show should have had sense enough to clarify the difference.There are those who want conflict and confusion among African people.We should not hate each other so much that we cooperate in each others destruction.The Year of Return even though narrowly defined meant a certain group of people.
Hard to convince first world people to move to second, third world countries.
I agree, they are a little scared to go home. Also they didn't speak with people who are on the other side of the aisle. There are aAfrican Americans and other diasporans who have permanently moved to Ghana and are enjoying it there. Bob Marley's wife is currently citizen of Ghana. There's even African American Association in Ghana today.
Funny how they only spoke with the skeptics.
@@georgemitchell7792the same thing happened on the continent thousand times worse than whatever happened in slavery, king Leopold murder over a million people in the Congo the germans extinct a hold race of people in Africa.
@@georgemitchell7792 👍
Americans who have been able to come are having fun and are very happy they did, so stop the negativity and discouraging others who aren't here yet. I was at a night club packed with Ludacris and friends amongst others from the U.S and you can see the joy and happiness in their eyes etc....Ghana is a place to be !! 💯✌🏿🖤✊🏿
I love ALL my Afrikan brothers and sisters. ❤️🧡💛💚💙
I love ALL my human bridges and sisters. And indeed all things on the planet and the planet itself, which is also alive and blessed with consciousness. The sun shines its light upon all things. It does not discriminate.
The year of return is not about you packing your bag and just move to Africa or Ghana 🇬🇭 but is just giving you the opportunity to visit Africa and learn the history and culture as black people in the diaspora and it has nothing to do with coming to stay but if you go and you choose to stay too your welcome
I personally disagree with fix before you invite issue. America wasn't Fix before inviting Europe to migrate in USA. so pls just stop it.
If there anytime to feel Proud of being an African and a Ghanaians🇬🇭, it’s this time👍. Ghana is indeed so Blessed and Powerful that They Always Lead Anything that is Eye Opening, Worthwhile and Beneficial.
God Bless Africa, God Bless Ghana 🇬🇭 and God Bless my short President Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo.👍🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Don't be proud. Be humble and smart.
You do understand that African Americans and diaspora Blacks are providing Income in the form of Tourist Dollars to Ghana. African Americans and the Black diaspora can choose to spend their money in other economies. Do not act like AAs and the Blacks diaspora is begging for a pittance
This interviewer is asking nonsense questions. OF COURSE they are not going to let criminals just walk in to their country bc it's the year of return. The Year of Return is not a free for all and all protocols are out the window! They aren't stupid 🙄🙄 it was a beautiful opportunity and many ppl will benefit from it for years to come. Good on Ghana for leading this initiative. Hopefully other African countries will do the same as the years progress.
Angela Addy is correct. The lady second left's print, is gorgeous.
Ghana has been making the way for decades. I am pleased to say I have booked a visit. My farmlands are calling me. Thank you.
You have a new subscriber.

Peace
Always proud to be African
Its a beautiful thing and a relief in just knowing we are welcome to visit with an option to live and invest.
If 75 of us were taken from ghana 🇬🇭 that means we all are from Ghana God Bless U don’t say more

To all Blacks, in every part of the world. As we know, we are already hated just because of the color of our skin. No matter what part of the world we live in. So being angry and hateful towards your own blacks, will just make our enemies laugh at us. That's exactly what they like to see. Us being selves hate and divided. So to all my beautiful black people out there, please come and visit the continent of Africa. We will Love to Welcome YOU.
@Darren Tobias Harris that is also true.
Darren Tobias Harris that’s a very good point, there is something about us that we don’t know that they know or can sense . We are the oldest human group in the world
@Darren Tobias Harris absolutely 👍
All of this will meaningless if we as Ghanaians don't change our attitude and embrace moral principles of getting rid of corruption in order for a speedy development to take flight
First sensible comment, well said sir!
You're right, all Agrica needs to do that including my country Kenya!
I agree
The returness should give us a break. Nobody gets things easy when they want to settle in a totally new country, even in Europe. It takes time to adjust . After the drumming and dancing at the airport, know that your coming to live your life once again in a new environment so prepare.
Well said
Exactly!
I totally agree with you...
Just imagine, and that’s one nation on the continent that will open up. To me it’s not so much about “Pan-Africanism”, it’s about a better feeling of security and equality. My prediction is that in the next 30+ years there will be millions of black Americans leaving the U.S. and migrating to the continent. As a visual artist myself, I really connect with the beautiful Ghanaian print design arts.
Brotha dont call yourself a black american youre an afrikan in america
Why not interview African diaspora men to see what they think
Askyah Yisrael why though?
‘I’m shocked how they found a way to make it about ‘female empowerment’
@@kingkingitinstyle635 I didn't even realize until you mentioned it.
The men are in diaspora prisons..😒
Purple girl like we always say, our interests and priorities have been mixed with the interests of other groups which makes it difficult for us to get anything done.
God will surely bring love, peace, and unity among black people once again, may the almighty God bless the land of Africa and make us great
Year of return is for ADOS and not for Ghanaians who's parents immigrated or those who went to study and stayed. That's how I understand it (from Kenya).
It’s for the african Diaspora who left the continent 400 years ago, though you are correct. 300 millions of us here in the americas
It’s for the African diaspora
@@sweetkwaku123 yes the descendants of slaves
Your source is right dear.
Two things we are afrikans in the americas and we were not slaves we were enslaved afrikans
Bobby E. Wright 100%
Please the ancestory of African American is mainly slavery, it is not something that did not happen.
You got a great idea of self emancipation.
@@kilnerpaps8635 so because our ancestors were enslaved that is all we are, slavery is a condition not a biological entity, i so hate when idiots like you say shit like this. Slavery happens to be a condition my ancestors were in, they were men and women who were enslaved get it right.
Welcome home 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
21:22 who lied to you that there's political instability in Ghana?
You better check up real facts well before you speak on public media
We are Global African Indigenous people!! Love and Unity is the best key for us all together!!💯

VERY INFORMATIVE!!! Listening from America and your black sister stands with your plans for change within Africa.
Yes would you love to visit Africa
In returning- be looking at outside Greater Accra...more opportunities, affordable
I think we’d need dedicated friends before landing, I mean like a host family to exchange experiences and updates on the region
Wealthy Thomas well wen u ready hit me up my family wld be happy to host u 👋👋👋
You can contact me I will be glad to assist fadar4x@gmail.com

It's the African Diaspora from all over the world. Europe, Americas, Pacific etc.
I was wondering why she is saying specifically african american
I second this. As an African-American I fervently champion visibility for ALL of the African Diaspora (Afro-Latinos, Afro-Carribean, Etc, etc.)✊
@@africaine4889 The reason she mentioned African Americans is because this invitation was done by the Ghanaian President in Washington DC.

Just remember to pay your taxes. And respect the local people.

Aseda Adepah Gyae gyimii nu why are u so negative?? Wo maame tw3
You guys should tell chinese and russia and france the same
Please give us the information that is needed to get out of these United States
Home sweet home as always we use to say😍😘
Wow! This is beautiful well done ladies , you've thought me a lesson in manipulation and false narrative. When the representative for Ghana was there they asked soft questions highlighting the many positive of TYOR , after she left their true agenda became apparent .
It makes little sense not having a born Ados on the panel to discuss their view whether positive or negative, especially when the show ended up on a negative note anyways.
Hardwork will pay off
Ghana is actually working. NO DEPTS!! NO PRESSURE ON BUSINESS AND DEF LOW TAXES.
The host is very dismissive and very suspicious in her questioning I wonder why?
I can tell you so much from these panels and their views. Why are they even weighing the idea of going back to Africa, why they do not question people when they go on holidays is London, Dubai, Madrid, Lisbon, Malta etc. After the Ghanaian ambassador left those ladies got to show their negative and division mind set which the Europeans impose on Africans by dividing Africa into countries at the Berlin conference cos they not Ghanaians they not defending the ideas of inviting AA back home cos is Ghana doing it. As for the Indian host i don’t wanna say much go to Kenya and I can tell you over 10 millions Indians live there for three generations and they call it home, so please don’t confuse African Americans about coming to Africa to build their house and swimming pools and live like Kings they once was. Jah bless all AA
We are also skilled here. We just dont have the right resources pr finance.
Is not simply means they should come and stay there without properly check or learn before they completely come. We want thier skills , education and even get into our politics for future leaders.
They should grow the year of return every year.
Everyone else has been going to Ghana forever so those from the diaspora...it is about time.
The year of return does not apply to those who know the country they are from just return to it, don't put yourself into the category of those of slavery descent it is those people who need to return to the continent.
The conversation is missing a major 'Voice' and that is the voice of an actual Black American descendant of chattel slavery. All black is not the same.
ambright mawunyo Childish? My ancestors were enslaved with the help of fellow west Africans & brought to Virginia. That is where my roots were replanted! Your tribe and the rest of that panel came here voluntarily. I simply ask that in the future you humble yourself to hear the voices of the Oldest& the 1st black Americans when you talk about ‘The year of return’.
@ambright mawunyo sounds about white.. what tribe sold or traded slaves?? chattel slavery was not a joke... remember if it wasn't for black am you and the ladies on the stage wouldn't be here.
Exactly
LesAmin do you really believe west Africans sold people to the European when the came with guns and explosives bro wake up, am telling you this is the story two brothers are farming they will get there and try to capture them in the struggle one might run to go and inform the villagers by the time they will come his brother has already been taken away. Two tribes may be at war they will support one to defeat the other and those that surrender they will capture them. Bro pls visit the slaves fort they build back in those years and it will tell you their wicked minds and agenda. Read more on the British and the Ashanti’s war
Ras Vigour Of course Africans were selling to Europeans. People in Africa were practicing slavery long before any Europeans set foot in that land. They wouldn’t have been able to do so without Africans aiding them in trades. Your inability to come to grips with this truth is why we can’t get anywhere.
Great initiative.. Thanks to Ghana
Am so proud to be a Ghanaian
Black is Africa....Africa is Africa
Why asylum when it's about a mother calling her children home? Hayde Adams that was crazy .
We are ready to make everyone happy when they come
Ayen has such nice teeth 😍 so white with her pretty black skin
No matter were you are living in this world as you are a black man or black woman, you are an African
This is beautiful keep it up sisters
Taking my whole family and my knowledge of engineering and agriculture to Ghana with me. Born and raised in America, but never felt like it was my home.
Please attempt to highlight more beautiful African sistahs with natural hair. Please show some love of our natural selves.
Great work
Interesting program
Akwaaba to everyone ❤️
Angeline Addy is not only sexy. She is making perfect sense of everything she is saying.
Ghana is open to business. Businesses every strive on the back of hardwork and good strategies. It is so in Ghana as well. But also, returnees shouldn't be ready to stay in Accra only. Ghana has 7 cities and more bright towns. Many resources to tap in. If you want to come, be ready to make a move. Thanks #blackLove
GHANAIAN ARE CLOSING OTHER AFRICAN SHOPS IN THEIR COUNTRY ,AND THEY WANT BLACK AMERICAN BECAUSE OF THEIR DOLLARS .. IT'S FAKE LOVE ..ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY
@@fesderi3933 Any country anywhere will close down illegal businesses. Ghana is closing down foreign retailers operating illegally without permit. Business ought to be Legal and Ethical as well.
@@StephenGyasiOfficial REGISTERED BUSINESS BY YOUR GOV CAN'T BE ILLEGAL
@@fesderi3933 legally registered and documented foreigners are still doing profitable business in Ghana. If anyone has been estopped from doing so then there is definitely an underlying issue about either his or her registration, business or other criminalities. No government smiles at these.
These people don't know what they're talking about. They are just scared to leave the easy lives in the US. No one is pressuring you to come. We need people with positive mindset to come and join in Africa's rising story, cause we will rise. Also,stop peddling lies about political instability. Ghana and some African nations are safer than the US you seem to think is heaven. Tswwww, Ns3mfon y3 hin ampa.🙄🙄🙄

Welcome back from abroad
Oh Andy you are suppose to know the next event is the "birth right" which is the continuity of the year of return
Bruv did u not see the video u just played from the start???
WHY VOA??
Webster's Dictionary 1828
AMER'ICAN, noun A native of America; originally applied to the aboriginals, or copper-colored races, “FOUND” here by the Europeans; but now applied to the descendants of Europeans born in America.
We beg you people to leave Ghana alone. This time don't poke your nose in this time to spoil everything.
What are you talking about
I was wondering where the African American descendants of slaves were on the programme; not one of the ladies was one. They all either came to America with African parents or immigrated from Africa to America. This is a flaw and means the programme did not bring those concerned to the table. Even the two women returnees interviewed in Ghana are children of African parents, of the 5,000 plus African Americans & other diasporans living in Ghana, could they not find at least one to interview? Very disappointing. Did VOA forget that the Year of Return is primarily for diasporans who are descendants of slaves? Why waste the Ghanaian embassy's spokesperson's time? Overall there was bias reporting leaning on the negative. I have watched countless videos where diasporans (descendants of slaves that is) have positive experiences in Africa (not just Ghana) and sadly this panel of women did not seem to find one! Shame on you VOA Our Voices (the wrong voices more like)!!!
My sentiment exactly🤦🏾♀️
@Charles brown I am a Ghanaian living in the diaspora soon to return (in case you think I am a bitter descendant of the enslaved hence my comment above - and your mention of land will make me happy ☺ , not so) a Ghanaian paramount chief and his council are giving free land to descendants of slaves in the diaspora wanting to come to Ghana to settle, I know that and I am pleased, but my comment is about VOA Voices not including this aforementioned group of diasporans for which this year of Return is focused on the panel or even in interviews... why???
African Queen they shown their division mind set cos they not Ghanaians but Zimbabwe etc forgetting Africa is one people and was divided by the Europeans into countries at the Berlin conference. Because is Ghana doing it they can’t see the positivity. As for the Indian host over 10 million Indians live in Kenya and the run majority of the businesses there and been there over three generations. So where is the negativity of Africa Americans returning back home.
GET THIS INDIAN LADY OFF THE CONVO>> TALKING ABOUT ESCAPING TAXES SMH We are building a speaking with each other and I love the information about getting to know each other and what each of us when thru..
@kwazue yes will not speak of such things against her motherland .. she is a fake citizen of Africa only loving it under the conditions of control by her group and the measurements they establish for the motherland of Africa .. India for Indians and Africa for Africans ... You are not African becuase you were born there hahaha Blacks in the west are not Europeans becuase they were born there. Common sense and critical thinking is at a all time low
Black Ambassadors she is right we don’t need convicts
Am a proud Ghana
To all blacks around the world it time to move back to Africa, THE BEST PLACE TO MOVE IS GHANA! if you are black you don't need a visa and they are so nice and don't mind helping you get started come one come all ready to build, work, and start-up business only bring peace love and respect back to your forefather and motherland. Open up the gate make easier for the ones who don't know how or can't because of the lack of funds.
wooooooow this was TRAGIC lol
Where are the men?? 50% of the population’s story is missing... since y’all took it to the female sex thing... I went to Ghana in the spring of 2019 and enjoyed it very much. I was saddened that African Americans are CHARGED to visit the castles where their ancestors were stocked and traded. Tasteless.
I was also hurt that Europeans and descendants of the survivors of the slave trade were mixed together in the same groups to tour these sites, the former having no real connection and the latter being torn to their hearts and were forced to share these intimate moments with oftentimes descendants of their ancestors’ oppressors.
I could write a book...
Maybe I will...
its never easy to move to places where you dont have experience of , so it will never be easy but with time and tolerance you will be ohk .take for instance a Ghanaian who move to the uk or USA , it will never be easy for the person from the beginning
Charles Awotwe theirs a big difference btw african system and USA or UK very big difference...
I thought VOA was dead long ago
I thought so too. African American history and, African history as well. I have a cousin that has a community group to come together with the TASTE of Africa. In California. It has been successful.
Interesting!
Great Business Concept #YearOfReturn-YOR Indeed #Ghana Is Best In Tourism.
It is incredible the lengths foreign powers will go to deny the black diaspora a true place to call home. Using our "own" people to speak negatively about the continent is just one of their many strategies. Anybody in there diaspora who has not come to visit should come and visit a vibrant country like Ghana and draw their own conclusions.
Welcome back home
you ladies are too negative, no body has the power to ever please you lot.
They were biased they all Africans and probably they jealous of the year of return.
Lauraqueen F I stop watching after reading this comment 😀
@@AS-rw7rf Yes this was a bad group speaking about this and no one from the Western World via the Enslavement and Allowing this Indian colonizer to speak on the panel is SMH
Wow🌷
This is very bias👎🏾 Why was the focus of the entire show on the negativity ?? Each of these panelists know the very essence of the Year Of Return Yet y'all travelled down to Ghana to come report on this ..??? What happened to the beautiful stories ? No matter how rosy a destination is being painted to you , it's never easy settling in and acclimatizing to a new environment especially when you have high expectations , u would always be on the look out for the potholes, it's normal human nature. It's a matter of time , they will be fine . You guys did not do a thorough research on the subject matter else you would have known about the many beautiful opportunities the Government of Ghana has put in place for it's returnees who want to settle in Ghana . I would advise anyone who wants to return should go through the right policies , get informed as much as possible before making the step to avoid being "disappointed " . And the Year of Return is not a "marketing Push" 👎🏾 and no one is out there to exploit your skills and coins , If you really want to return home for the primary vision of the Year of Return , Do it , if you get to the motherland and want to settle in , Do it . If you settle in and wish to do nothing and want your knowledge and skills you have achieved over the years go waste , DO IT😀 (that won't be a smart choice though ) . Let's be guided people and mind you, this show belongs to America and don't be gullible to think America is happy about the year of Return especially when it's about hitting a brain drain as the African -American is being emancipated and returns home !

The Jews went back home knowing very well the dangers they're going to face. Some were greeted with guns to start fighting on arrival but that did not deter others to join them. It's unfortunate Africans have different mentality. Most Africans, it's more of what is in it for them not what they can contribute.There is adage that says if even though the back of your hand or dorsum tastes good to you, it can't be compare with the palm. Nehemiah jeopardise his life to go and build the gates of Jerusalem. You can enjoy your Paradise, Africa shall surely prosper without you. In his own time He makes all things beautiful

Ghana embassy in DC never picks up a call. They're put you on hold until they hang up on you. Very unprofessional
Learn to use the website....just like you are here on RUclips. Submit your concern there.
@@africa2890 where do you think I got the number from masisi?
That says a LOT.
You should know that any call center thst doesn't pickup or put you on hold is usually extremely busy. In this case, the embassy run out of visa so you can imagine how busy the staff were. And this embassy is usually not busy so I am sure they don't have enough staff to handle the unexpected demand.
@@africa2890 The easy way to solve this un(EXPECTED SURGE) in Visa requests is to remove the bureaucracy. If your government is promoting the year of return to the African descendants diaspora, at least take the logical steps of providing the visas on arrival like Uganda,Rwanda, Tanzania and Kenya and lower the price to increase volume. That would also create more job positions at the Ghana airport for Ghanaians.
