This is the first time on the REPAT podcast that we have had an ALL african american cast! Africans sometimes get upset when African AMericans repatriate and reveal THESE TRUTHS about African countries.

It's people very upset in the comments. For African Americans to come to Africa, understand we are very straight forward and direct people. We do NOT sweep things under the rug. We are NOT going to be silent and just smile when there are issues. If you want us here, then we are going to bring that energy with us. We cannot come to Africa and have love for this great continent and stay silent with things we feel are not condusive to the development of Africa. We have AS MUCH RIGHT as any other person of African descent to be here in our mother continent.
When it gets perfect it will be too late to come to Africa
African is a race of black people not a nationality . black/African/negroid . white/European/Caucasoid . yellow/Asian/mongoloid or a mixture like Obama(Black and White) .
At least 120 million africans in brazil(afro-brazilians), africans in Mexico(afro-mexicans), africans in America(afro-americans) .
Roughly 46 million Black in America . And 4.1 million Black from outside America living in US . And 2.1 million Black in America from Caribbean ,Central, South America, EU ,Canada etc . And 2 million Black from Africa in America .
Africa continent 1.46 Billion population with 1.3 billion black population .
African American are nothing more than Africans living in American not real Americans.
And do you think Africans will change for you??? The minute you get off that high horse the better for yall...trust me Africa is tribal and you don't want to be the target .
Basically....Do what Americans say because we know better than you do. 😂
As an African Man, seeing brothers & sisters from America in Africa smiling & comfortable like this is a dream I wanna see come true. It’s beautiful fr
Thank you, brother!

And your little brains is telling you African American won't steal from you., no they won't hire their family members,no they are not corrupt and the feds are not prosecuting them in politics, no they won't. I have news for all those pounding Africans not every American black cares or want you in their space. Africans in immigration detentions one even ordinary jails and prisons are routinely beatup and killed. And those abuses and killing go unreported with zero family notification.Someimes it's let go over issues one has zero control and skills . Iam sure some things are going to change nothing stays the same . I personally feel way more at ease where I was born and raised. What if am looking for financial boost, I don't have a single entity I can run to other than family and friends. And why should I apologize for that.
You just explained America
@@ronaereeves9160yes this answer and I would like to add my country Jamaica right along with it
@@ronaereeves9160 in America there is a vision towards something, that's why with a little corruption and misdeeds we still number one. But there no vision and regulations in Africa that why it cannot move expeditiously in right direction. China developed in 30 years cause they had a vision to
@@MM-ng5wcWELL SPOKEN!!!💯👏🏾👏🏾
Since offended Africans make a lot of noise, I feel it’s incumbent upon me as one of the few Africans who appreciate this criticism to make some noise as well and say I appreciate what y’all are doing
I'll join you in that. It's a shame that our peoples egos are made of glass and are so needy of validation.
If it was up to me, I would say you all should be able to treat Africa like the USA where you can move freely between the states and it's nobody's business and nobody can stop you. It's a shame that our peoples egos are so fragile. The reactions of our people are like those of a spoilt child that hasn't got his way. I'm actually embarrassed that the couple even have to explain that they don't mean any Ill to anyone. The video they did when they announced their choice was very clear that they loved both and had a tough decision. Imagine the miss universe runner up fetched the winners weave or threw hands at the judges. Having said that you should always remember that those people are a small, loud social media clan that doesn't represent the general public. The general public doesn't even know they exist And they are like all social media communities, giving either super love or vicious attacks when you upset them. Secondly, and this is terrible to admit, you are stepping into beefs and rivalries that don't involve you. I suspect this aggression from your followers has more to do with the tensions between a rising Kenya and a declining South Africa than it has to do with the couples choice. Like the tensions between a rising China and a declining USA.
As An AA, I can tell you that we AA's already know that our African bro's & sisters are going to win. and I think once we all recognize that we our the other pieces to the puzzle, then we'll run this earth.
@@gmackhere4fun🎯👑👑🙅🏿♂️🇺🇲👑🇬🇭🇳🇬🇨🇮💯
@@CharlieDmus there has never been any rivalry between Kenya and any African nation...that couple was disrespectful nobody was bothered by where they go.... actually South Africans and Kenyans have very strong relationships....those two countries have VISA-free travel of their respective citizens. The problem is every black American wants to air their opinions without details or information about African countries. They stay here for two weeks and boooom they have 30 pages of nonsense to air. The damage they are causing is separating Africans for nothing just to have views. That's so desperate and insensitive. Secondly, podcasts like Kenganda only allow foreigners to speak , plus a few locals who are part of their team. Do you know why? To propel certain narratives for their favour. Never have they invited a neutral African to even explain one or two things. I doubt you guys are here on a mission to separate Africa. For example in East Africa we are a huge United family. Actually here all of the 7 countries are allowed to operate without visa. We're very United here with a common language and culture. But these foreigners don't want information coz since they're raised in a toxic environment , they expect the same toxicity here. In Kenya for example even foreigners trend here carefully, our freedom allows us to deport whoever mishandles s citizen. If they don't believe they should Google. Our social media influence is the strongest in Africa....a photo is enough to deport someone. But overall we're respectful to one another
I think another point you guys forgot to mention is that Language is another divider on the continent, that’s why no matter how different black Americans are you’re a lot more united. Loved this!!!R! I’ve beeeeeeen waiting for this conversation❤

I’m just astounded by Mark’s wisdom. When he speaks I don’t want him to stop. He’s managed to pick up on certain problems in our society that I think should’ve taken him longer. It’s almost like he’s CIA
He very well might be part of that alphabet organisation, locals have no way of knowing. South Africa’s woes really started during a period when our brothers were in charge, even the envoy was a black guy - turned out to be a trojan horse. That’s the risk African countries take whenever they embrace people from other regions and cultures, and Africans will do well to not let their confidence be undermined further by the denigrating talk. It is quite prevalent in these channels, and got really bad in the months leading up to the BRICS summit, a good sign that something might be underfoot.
We will still embrace, love and welcome regardless, but this reality exists.
Really.....where the evidence for that? So, because he's very bright and understands the issues, that makes him very well might be CIA @@Ntuthu-ZA
Mark is illuminated, the others are dull
@@philipotenyo8236 No one is dull. They are all enlightened! Mark has the "mark" of our youth who came to the planet already woke. He's an old soul. So stop comparing our people please. This is the diversity of Black Excellence ❤❤❤love on ALL of them. Flowers to Oshay. We love you ALL.
I still think most of these AA moving, or attempting to move to the "mother land" need a deep re-education, or possible re-orientation of their thinking towards the environment you are coming. - You need to learn their culture, and the way their society operates before arriving. Come in, observe, then proceed to work, and show examples, instill the standards within the environment you control, these eventually become infectious.
The problem with these people coming, and now moaning/complaining is evident they hadn't done their homework, Africa is not "Wakanda", the concept of comforts and luxury you expect when you come to Africa just shows your lack of knowledge.
You are not going to endear yourself to the natives if all you start doing from the get go is moaning and moaning, Africans hate that, move quietly and contribute by setting standards by example, your ethics will definitely start rubbing off on some natives
I agree with you... Truth through personal experience. On the flip side my employees and their friend circles do experience jealousy and hate because they now move differently and have a higher living standard... All because they earn a decent wage and are not exploited by some non black immigrant employer or native African. There are problems within your culture that are not our fault and you fail to address even though you recognize.
@Silverbackugx Thanks for your bit 👍
Nope we shouldn’t have to do any of this. Nobody does this when they move to our neighborhoods in the USA
Big shout out on the full African American cast this pod. Much love!
The trouble with African Americans is don't take the time to understand issues. I saw Freedom Chasers in this panel say Europeans, Indians, and Chinese have more privileges than African Americans coming to Africa. That point was ignorant, you cannot get privilege by coming to Kenya Youtubing for three months and start comparing yourself with Idinas who came to EA before independence when constructing the Railway line. You cannot compare yourself with Whites who invest and create opportunities through manufacturing, and you cannot compete with the Chinese who are helping Africa achieve infrastructural milestones. Kenya has given citizenship to many groups e.g the Shona from South Africa, Bora Community from Asia, and others. However, the key to getting these privileges is in persevering, investing, and creating opportunities not skipping one nation to the next Youtubing for instance, Nairobi Java was a creation of a white guy when I was still in elementary school. Osahy JAckson's approach to coming to Africa is helping create opportunities for Africans but the other majorities are just critiquing for the sake of it.
It true. And it gonna be own by China and ever non blk soon the whole of Africa. At this point who cares give your whole continent away. 2023 it hopeless if billions of people not trying to learn from flaws
African Culture being hash hash - From my understanding of being raised in a african household, issues are resolved in the home, in the presence of elders not on the market streets where everyone is watching. If someone offends me and I still maintain my smile, it does not mean am okay with what that person did. I will have to find time to talk to that person in and let them know about my grievences. It's complicated for people from the west to understand because being confrontaional is seen as being strong but how many relationships and friendships are broken because of those confrontational approaches?
Just because someone did something wrong to you that does not make them your enemy, just like you, they also make mistakes.
I don't know about you, or your culture, but lying to me, scamming me, extorting and routinely doing this as a normal interaction... actually DOES make you my enemy. Maybe the way you think has enabled Europe to rape your country of resources for so long while they smile in your face. You just keep waiting to sit with "elders".. lol, they've been selling you out just as their "elders" did them.. meanwhile we'll be over here enjoying roasted meat while we wait for you to wake up.
@@SilverbackugxEuropeans stole from us because they overpowered us. It's that simple, you're trying to make it complex for no reason!
But the reality is far from that. As Africans, we encourage a lot of hypocrisy and because of the power dynamics of elders and younger people and blind respect, things are never really resolved but just swept under the carpet, continuing a negative cycle. No one way is perfect but we also have to acknowledge that some African practices are detrimental to Africans and this is seen even when Africans work abroad where the culture is different. Africa needs to sometimes see criticism as fuel to do better. Proudly African here❤
@@wakandavibranium5053 🙏🏾Thank you for your honesty.
@@wakandavibranium5053 this is a lie, Africans resolve their issues, what do you mean we sweep things under the carpet?
Constructive criticism! Everything discussed here is very true.
I asked this question before and I am going to ask it again, are black Americans the only people traveling to Africa?
"You running and running, but you can't run away from yourself."
Robert Nesta. Marley
They have destroyed themselves back in America and have been used to target black people around world with their immorality and they're here trying to dictate to us😂😂😂funny as F
Nobody speaks about Afro South Africans
@@Maghema-Gaderand everybody better keep it that way, because those people are already at breaking point from the pressure of immigration, and so they take no prisoners when you piss them off. They are super nice, until you start getting comfortable enough to piss on their hospitality.
😂😂Good questions. And they are the ones complaining a lot by making videos, etc .
The British Commonwealth culture is very prominent in most of Africa.
Great episode, I loved this one! Mark and freedom chasers I watch all the time I truly appreciate all you guys. Thanks Oshay for doing the work and spreading this truth
I really hate the entitlement and knowing it all of this black American about the Africans they meet and African culture in Africa???why should I not take criticim personally when you have no idea of my journey Money cannot be equited a for God ,but money helps
You haven't even been to America.So you don't have ANY idea about the freedoms,culture,and beauty of America.We have more fortune and are a BLESSED to have the things and liberties that we have..💯
Mark is mature beyond his years, he is self aware its refreshing to see, some people normally dont discover self awareness until we reach our mid 40s or in some cases older 😂 word up,!
great interview from all folks on the podcast.
That's so true. You can see he really understands things. He has this birds eye view, where franky the other are on the ground clutching at straws to make sense of things. I don't blame them. Mark has put the time in to understand the issues and has made no assumptions.
He needs to preach his principles to himself and his people……he kind of elevated himself and viewing himself as an African expert….we don’t need people like that in our continent……only humbly and loving ones and not arrogant judgemental one will be accepted in our continent. The country where they are coming from is falling very fast with poverty and homelessness happening very fast. We have seen their ghettos and hopelessness in USA…if people come here thinking that they are kind of self appointed saviours…..he need to keep his ideas to himself and his people…If he was in my country I would not want to have anything with him. I saw another side I never knew about AA living in Africa
Are you talking about Oshay or Mark? I'm confused? @@sandindamae.iwantmetowin5652
@@sandindamae.iwantmetowin5652 AA are individuals, Africans are individuals, no one is the same. But We are all lacking unity. The Chinese work together to reach their goals, The Indians work together to each their goals, The lebanese work together to reach their goals, all living and thriving in businesses on the continent of Africa. AA were thriving in the USA ten years after enslavement, but USA government destroyed towns stole our land, wealth and murdered AA and here we are still standing, returning home from where some of our ancestors started, I hope we all shall heal from what happen to us, from the past, present and future, for the next generations to come
@sandindamae.iwantmetowin5652 SMH, and this is the huge problem in africa. You see how you feel about folks who have no intentions to use, abuse, colonize, or gentrifiy africa? You see how you express yourselves so freely. When it comes to the diaspora and even other africans? People who actually want to build with you and develop relationships. But when it comes to the devils, arabs, Chinese, you're damn near silent. When you do say something, you're very careful. You see how backward this thinking is? You're literally shooting yourselves in the foot. You're refusing FREE help and genuine relationships. You're telling us to be humble and watching our every move and every word we say. Be humble for what? You're not giving us anything, we comming over to help out and kick it with y'all, that's it. This seems very hostile and not welcoming. Then you start talking about our issues in America. WTF does that have to do with anything? Lol. The problems we have are nowhere near as bad as yours. So why you bring that up? See, this is tribalism. This is what destroyed africa. Why do y'all continue to do this? Lol all these rules and regulations for your own race. But others can do as they please. A lot of y'all tell us to shut up when we speak up for y'all lol.
What country are you from?, I'm just curious.
Remember - A Closed Mouth Don't Get Fed. You Cannot Complain, Say Nothing And Expect For Change To Happen Or For Problems To Get Addressed If Problems Are Not Acknowledged, Addressed Or Brought To Attention. Solutions Will Follow If Issues Are Addressed. You Cannot Have A "See Something, Way Nothing" Mentality and Expect For Anything To Change For The Better. A Closed Mouth Does Not Get Fed !!!
You better fix multitudes of AFRICAN AMERICAN problems first before you try elsewhere….we do have our structures here in Africa which are looking into our challenges….we don’t need your negative fake views
@@sandindamae.iwantmetowin5652
There's more reason to speak about Poorly ran african countries filled with rich resources Then to concern yourselves with african americans. The majority of african americans are doing extremely well financially in america with no backing as opposed to Africans.
@@rudolphsimmonds1382 liar. Majority of black Americans live in ghettos, projects(government provided homes) and many also live in the streets due to homelessness. Many also depend on food stamps while others decide to make more babies in order to get grant money. When I used to study in USA, some young girls choose to make more babies than working for the minimum wage. In USA one had to work 2/3 even more jobs to make ends meet. Inflation there is exceedingly increasing with many Africans Americans being unable to afford medical care. Please stop lying…we know what is happening in usa as some of us studied there and briefly worked there. Africans and African life is much and much more better than African American life. We know that. Pls don’t lie
When that Jamaican lady made a RUclips videos and said she would no longer rent to AA....i now completely understand...after watching a numerous AA videos. Reading commentsfrom them...i can see why most people are turned off by them when you get to know them....officially
my guard is up dealing with them from now...not people i would want in my inner circle
No worries we detect hate and jealousy very easily, they wouldn't want your fake ass anyway

Wow!! Look at the pot calling the kettle black.
What that mean?
Excellent topic and excellent panel! This topic so needed to be addressed.
Mark should be a co host, very measured does most of the listening and when he speaks nothing but bars. Respect
Bars against one’s hosts, on a public platform where they will feel the insult as a block? Wise to do that?
@@Ntuthu-ZA Mark is playing devil's advocate
@@trvkim9435 nope, don’t think so.
If that was the intention, then the approach might need to change. I’m not even from that region, but you cannot insist on your right to tell a whole nation that their culture is wrong when you have not spent enough time or invested years (which is what it takes) to understand them.
Question: What gives him or they, as individuals, permission to do that?
Why should Tanzanians listen to him/them or tolerate the attitude?
This was great insight from the panel! Love this! Please do another panel of AA Oshay, help build community there!!
So much facts maan I had to reload the episode. You guys are saying things I been wanting to say for a minute now
Don’t say anything until you have spent at least two years in a new country and can confidently say that you understand the thinking behind the culture and manners.
I lived in a European country and only got to understand and appreciate their culture.they emphasised assimilation a lot, and I did not understand their preoccupation with it, but by the time I left several years later I loved them the way they are, and understood a lot about them and why so many felt a certain way about them. In a world that erases culture, they staunchly hold on to theirs and it irks you when you expect the whole world to be cloned after America, until you start seeing the benefits of the things you rejected because they were too foreign.
As an African, a Sierra Leonean and a Pan-Africanist, i am elated that this subject is being brought up, from Africans of the diaspora's perspective.
It is incumbent on Africans of the continent, not to be so thin skinned, and listen to these criticisms that our brothers and sisters of the diaspora are giving us. They are our relatives, with the same dna, that we have, and they are looking at the festering problems that plagued the continent of Africa, through an impartial prism and without jaundiced eyes, they are doing this, not to demean us, but for the betterment of our people and the continent as a whole.
I am sure that with the help of the Africans of the diaspora, and the burgeoning population of young people, coming up in the continent, the future of the continent is bright. We need our brothers and sisters in the diaspora, in order to our mindset.
How do AAs feel when immigrants arrive in the Us and start saying negative things about their culture and generalise?
@@Ntuthu-ZAbrah no we don't probably back in the days not in these days America is so diverse it don't matter who come in now
@@Ntuthu-ZAYou make a great point.Africans immigrating to America certainly can criticize what happens in the African American community.
What is your criticism of the AA community?
What was mentioned in the video is that constructive criticism with diplomacy and some contextual awareness is best.
@@brentwiley3426 I do not see any value to be gained, by anyone, from me saying negative things about a whole society, placing myself in a position of superiority over something that’s not going to change just because I used my platform to tell you how badly you all suck in this and that area as a country or a people, a country and people I am looking to, to accept, embrace and nurture me🙉
I was a guest in the US. Any issues I observed relating to how African Americans conducted themselves or interacted with me or us, in their own home country were for private conversations with friends and family. I did have a number of bad experiences and dreaded some interactions, but I would never do what this guy is doing and generalise, on a public platform, addressing myself to the very people I’m criticising. I was raised better than that, and I was not in the US to change the way the locals conduct themselves, was I?
@@Ntuthu-ZA Ok. I think we agree that how we relay criticism is important. We seem to disagree on whether criticism is allowed in a public forum. I think there are cases where it is acceptable.
Admittedly, I haven’t watched much of the content on this channel and I can understand if there was frustration/distaste over how areas of the country were (perhaps unfairly) portrayed.
This is such a great episode, facts.. A lot of the content creators have a toxic positivity talking about the continent, and they are not telling the truth about what’s going on on the ground.
If many people are saying the same thing then there is a problem in that area. You must take your feelings out of it and address the issue.😊
54 countries created by Europeans. Europeans divided up Africa to benefit Europe only.
Africa needs to stop worshipping Europeans and make education and creative thinking Africa’s main focus.😮
Am happy that we having this kind of conversations, everything you saying is true about us Africans, hope we change our thinking. You guys are awesome
The entitlement ...
😂😂😂😂😂 they crack me up so much! They really think they are more important than they are 😭
So when they show confidence it's entitlement. When y'all show it, it's pride😤 yall fos
Great show guys! I’m married to a Kenyan lady, and we’ve had this conversation a lot!
Thank you all for sharing your wisdom through experiences! This topic continues to help reveal a common theme that seems to have inflicted ALL of us of African decent, for millennia. I quote from Proverbs 16:18: “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall”!
We have always been a prideful people, maybe to a fault! 🙏🏾💪🏾🤴🏿
Great episode 🔥 🔥 🔥
You have to understand the difference between Kenyans on twitter and RUclips & in real life. Don’t take the internet so serious….but as a guest in any African house you should respect the social & cultural rules. Avoid “missionary mentality” of lecturing Africans. It ultimately won’t work.
Exactly, imagine judging an entire country of over 55 million people based on less than 1k views. African americans generally have too much feminine energy, they complain too much. They're easily triggered.
And they will end up feeling and saying that they were not welcomed on the continent.
@@Ntuthu-ZA and yet they're here telling us we are too sensitive to criticism.
I agree, this has always been my feeling. Online ≠ Offline.
Exactly! They are acting like European elites. They cannot act like that in America! Let someone from Atlanta go to Chicago and start talking disrepectful. They wil not make it off the block, let alone the airport! Truth!
Aww, the bearded guy had his feelings hurt because random strangers were mean to him on RUclips? Your hurt feelings don't make you an expert in African geopolitics and culture.
They were not even mean..They just said they would unsubscribe from his channel, that's it..
You guys still don't understand why Kenyans came for you. You think it's because you chose another country. Many RUclipsrs have relocated from Kenya to other countries, no one goes for them. Many people criticize some Kenyan aspects but as long as what they're saying is right, no one will go for them. Ask yourselves why they came for you.
Lol. They started telling Kenyans they Israelites and So they turn on them
No one came for them..Some ppl just said they will unsubscribe coz the content won't be relatable to them.. that's all
Could someone enlighten me? What happened? I'm glad most Kenyans are waking up now! Back in 2020 it was just one or 2!
We blacks are our worse enemy globally. Just beggars and complacent. F ing take criticism and do better. Everyone criticism AAs.
"You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free."

Whew Wee, I've been waiting for this one for a looong time. Not really only the three years since I've been in Uganda. GREAT SHOW!! Hall of Fame👍🏿 I have to disagree with Freedom Chasers about Black Americans being divided, and AGREE with Oshay about how we are united and support eachother. You may not see division in those other groups mentioned because they police and regulate their own. There a drunkards and bad actors amongst the Asians, Arabs, and locals. Oshay has extended an invite to me every time I travel to Kampala and he is welcome anytime in the town I live in. Mark said it himself on the Kenganda show, that it is perfectly ok for us to have a standard for our people on the continent.
Uganda has 55 distinctive tribes it has been and still a hell of work to get these tribes to live and work in harmony towards the common goal of the nation. Seems like the long lost cousins are already coming up with 'standards for our people' maybe a new tribe with it's own standards and people who knows.
@@allancommons4109 Naw brother we arent interested in tribalism, just want respect for who we are as we give respect in kind to ALL tribes of Uganda. We already have our own culture.
@@Silverbackugx i what made you choose Uganda?
@@pamelalynch2580I chose Uganda because. Im single..lol, a fellow ex military that was a RUclipsr opened up my eyes, Oshay's channel, and the lack of that Black Bourgeois presence that infects the west african "returnee" scene. You know ex military can adapt and overcome anywhere without a support system.
@@allancommons4109brokenness, bitterness, hurts, disappointments and despair, is this what you call black American culture…they can’t even live in harmony with lots of drive by shootings, random murders when walking on streets, confusion…..is this what you call AFRICAN AMERICAN culture? Some of us has lived in the states and we know that many African Americans have identity crisis…so what culture are you talking about? Those American immigrants needs a lot of healing.
Great show. I am so surprised that Mark is single. He seems like such a genuine great catch
Black women can’t deal with a man that will constructively criticize them, & hold them accountable. That’s why pookies & ray rays are extremely popular.
@user-pm1ye5is2k Please find another talking point. It's tired. All black women aren't the same just like all black men aren't the same. Generalizing a whole group is ignorant and Low vibrational.
@@SOFTGUYERA2024 on point 😂
Mark is tooooo bitter to get married….I really feel sorry for that young lady who will be married to someone who deceptively thinking that he knows all
Love this conversation
Mark is so matured beyond his age. All you guys are great. We need more straight talk!
I like the energy in the comments... Look at our family fighting it out. airing out our grievances with love.
and at the end we'll all come together and one big hug...
lml. Your comment had me lol. I noticed the Ugandan Americans (either born or grew up in USA) feel the same as the African Americans on today's Repat Podcast episode because Oshay, Mark, and Freedom Chasers echoed the Ugandan Americans' sentiments: that's why we get along so well: we can relate to each others' experiences in East Africa.
African Americans do not realize these are countries, not states. Yes. African Americans are creating division. That's what we do. It's something I see Southern African Americans enage in often.
Brother Oshay both types of communication are needed! I'm more like you because I am older and don't know how much time I have left on this earth. Therefore, I hit hard on the truth. These young diplomats step lightly. That is wise. You are an elder so you carry the Big Stick. Love you All. ❤❤❤
Great conversation
When Africans say something about black Americans all of black Americans get sensitive even Oshay usually goes on tirade.
Exactly
@@crystal11507 Blacks in America are not real Americans but rather Black Caribbeans aka Black Europeans.
But most pipo , whites, arabs , Asians go on the defensive with constractive critism. It's therefore normal human reaction. Therefore, it take only pipo with high selv esteem to bare it , and reason it out.
Oshey is an idiot. He love criticizing Africans but hate it when we criticize his peoples smh
When African Americans say something about Africans they get extra emotional
The way you package criticism is important. If it appears to be perceived as coming from a point of superiority then for a certainty it will not be accepted.
Exactly...couldnt say it better
Perception is almost solely on the receiver. No can’t make you look at things a certain way unless the receiver was WILLING. Black people from the states been taking all forms of criticism for centuries so we understand the harsh response to it. Plenty of us would love to go and help build and regain real authority over your land.
@@Jaitea35 Is small thing like greet somebody, ask about their family before jumping into criticism, the receiver can receive same message from two covey differently because of the packaging
@@andeyo1 that sounds great and I wish it was like that however life doesn’t go like that. People judge and will always judge and have opinions. It’s essential sometimes we as humans need to see things from another perspective. To end, the way a person looks and does with criticism is solely on the person it’s directed too. This is stuff that’s imperative to learn as a child and also you learn this in an ultimate sense in the military. If how you package criticism is the most important then boot camp would be extremely ineffective but we know it’s the opposite.
But when there is a confidence problem percieved superiority and inferiority will always be in the way of heart to heart connection no matter how it is being said.
Oshay in rare form at the end but I love it and here for it!!!! 🫡
Please entitlement, ignorance and arrogance is not the same as "keeping it real!"
Ameeeeeeennnnnnn!!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
The first 15 minutes could be said about FBA in America and about Americans in general.
Exactly
@@crystal11507 African Americans are Africans living in America and FBA are Foundational Black Africans in America not Americans.
UM NO
You mean when he said that Africans are overly sensitive and don't take criticism every well. Also very tribalistic with a hint of xenophobic. and that you guys be scamming your own country then running to other white nations with the money.... I mean they said a lot..🤣
Imagine people that publicy and proudly call their women beaches and man thugs..trying to tell africans anything🤣🤣🤣

This young man Mark speaks the truth 💯 respect young brother
Mark just understands everything you really need to understand as an African American to survive in east Africa. He's just so perceptive and gets it. When he spoke about the cultural effect of British rule on Kenyan people he was spot on. The British cultural norms are more embedded in Kenya than other former British colonies in Africa. I'm black British and know he's right. One issue for African Americans is that they do not understand those types of dynamics. If you do not have the financial resources of other races doing business in east Africa makes it a problem for the host nation. Simple. Government officials are not going to accept a lower standard of behaviour, especially when people have this 'entitled' attitude. You're in their country. My guess is people in east Africa can find Americans, generally speaking, too brash and aggressive when it comes to handling conflict.
What the fuck is black British.
You are Either British or you are not.
Black is American backward term of the United stateans . Nothing to do with Africa.
They are American. American -African looking. Not African then American.
@@princessprincess7708Absolutely! They are black Americans they should remove the world African from their mouth
The reason being Kenya like ZIM and SA was a colonial settlement unlike Uganda, Nigeria and Ghana who were colonial protectorate. In settlements they come with one way ticket, took land imposed culture imperialisms.
Very interesting. Makes sense now. @@andeyo1
I agree with Oshay , Black Americans are essentially one big tribe...
I agree with Mark that alot of African countries used to exclusively deal with African contractors but got vurned so many times by them that they had to resort to contracting foreigners 😥
The gentleman in the glasses is giving life with his information.He is telling the TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE WHOLE TRUTH!!💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️
I've been to Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia and the only problems I had was xenophobia from mostly "diaspora" Somali women and Ethiopian men online, never any issues in person. They won't say sh!t in person, but online extreme rudeness.
Great episode and I’m happy to that you AA set the record straight. Thanks, I appreciate every one of you on the panel for doing what you’re doing. I am that African-American that’s planning on leaving America when I’m finished with the military. All your channels are very informative and much needed.
Great news Ms. Lynch, I left the military in 2008 and left the country in 2020. I wish I had come ten years earlier.
Setting record straight for what? Some of you are really crazy? What qualifies you to think that Africans must live according your toxic, bitter and culture of hatred. We see you guys murdering one another for absolutely no reason…black on black murder statistics in USA is much higher than the ones from the police….from these comments I am beginning to notice something I was not aware of . If you are bitter, please don’t come to AFRICA…..you will be abandoned and isolated as we are naturally peace loving people who can’t stand hatred and bitterness
@@Silverbackugx where did you go and how do you like it if you don’t mind me asking?
@@pamelalynch2580 I live in Uganda. I actually love it. There are some frustrations but the love and opportunities are limitless. I'm not going to get too deep into investing with buying land or scaling out any business unless I get married or Uganda offers Right to Abode or citizenship, but providing a few local people with a life changing opportunity is rewarding and fulfilling. You would love Uganda, they will claim you and can get a little sensitive when you push back protecting your own identity and culture but it's only out of not experiencing many Black Americans. Bring a backup phone if you're a Pixel or Motorola person, a good Chromebook if that's your thing a few big hard drives, and good walking shoes.
@@Silverbackugx thank you for your response I appreciate it. Right now I am unable to travel to Uganda solo- not interested in a liberty buddy’s with coworkers. So I’ll have to wait the only place I’ve gone where I didn’t have to have a person to travel with was the Seychelles 🇸🇨. Again thanks 🙏🏾
Absolutely true!!! They ignore problems they never address them. Therefore there is no real growth or and understanding of fault and self improvement. In marriage it’s the worse, no one wants to address the issues.
And AA got all these attribute?😂
OMG. Don't be so triggered. Yal not like that to the Chinese and white
This is spot on, I lived in Cape Town and was told what culture do you have and I thought to myself wow so just because I am from a mixed heritage, does not mean I do not have a culture. Many Africans believe that if you are not Zulu or Xhosa or Setswana that you dont have a culture..Look how they treat people in South Africa who are called quote-on-quote Coloured. That is very small-minded. This coming from a Black Person who endured hatred by my brothers and sisters having a envy problem they cant deal with.
Very true
It seems you came to tell us Zulu's, Xhosa's & Batswana are small minded while Coloureds are better minded. I live with coloureds in Capetown everyday and I will live with the Zulu's Xhosa's & Tswana's any day of the week. coloureds should I mention the numbers gang? Skollies? We all have problems in our communities and coming on RUclips and better than will not make you better.
Thanks and have a great day.
The problem seems to be that most African Americans seems to be coming to Africa to criticize, point fingers and make comparisons. If it was like 1 or 5 people doing this we wouldn't be having this kind of discussion but it seems to be a general tendency among the AA coming here plus direct and confrontational style often found in African American communities can starkly contrast with the more reserved and indirect communication styles prevalent in East African cultures. While the direct approach is by no means negative, it can create misunderstandings when interacting with cultures that place a premium on non-confrontational dialogue.
In East Africa, for example, impulsive speeches or outright criticism are not just frowned upon; they can be perceived as outright offensive. This isn't about avoiding the truth but rather about preserving the social fabric of the community. Similarly, in East Asia, the concept of "saving face" is deeply ingrained. The practice of subtly declining by saying, "I'll consider it," is not evasion but a form of respect.
The point is not to label one method as better than the other but to argue that each approach has its own cultural rationale and value. Understanding this is critical for effective cross-cultural communication and social harmony. Ignoring these nuances can lead to unnecessary conflict and perpetuate cultural misunderstandings.
They are come with this inferiority complex
Agreed, it's important to respect our African culture, good or bad. I don't understand people coming to Africa and hoping things run like they do in the US. There seems to be a level of superiority that They come with. They complain about the US and are now complaining about Africa. Who is the common denominator here?
@@user-xs5dh3qo4s The same thing can be said of Africans who come to the U.S. You obviously haven't lived in America if you haven't seen or experienced the African superiority complex that many Africans have towards African Americans with no respect for the foundation our ancestors and Civil Rights leaders laid for all non-whites.
Obviously one approach works and produces results, the other does NOT. You seem intelligent enough to determine which order.. lol
and which approach is that?@@Silverbackugx
Indians came to South Africa, Durban in particular, as indentured laborers to work on the sugarcane plantations in KZN. This mostly took place between 1865-1905. They had either five or ten year contracts and then once they were fulfilled, they had to pay a tax to the British government and then they had the choice to either get a one-way ticket on a ship to go back to India or they could take that same money and buy land in a prescribed area (due to apartheid) and start a new life. This is why there are now 4th and 5th generations in South Africa. Also, as you may already know, Indians hold education very high, and so many became well-educated and prospered. Hence, you see them doing well all over the continent now. We're mostly in South Africa and the East African countries.
Thanks for sharing this honest and educative comment .
You Indians are only africans when you are physically on the African continent . The moment you are out of the continent, you don't associate with Africa in any way , whether it's a rally against racism towards blacks or any other black related issue . Anyways you are not black so I'm NOT excepting you to support us but what I'm trying to say is that you should be thankful you are still on the our continent peacefully because your masters who brought you here didn't consult us indigenous pure black africans that you should be settled here in Africa ❤
@@imhotep1613Indians mind their business, they even rarely participate in African politics even though they've lived in Africa for close to a century. It's their culture and that's why they have a high success rate wherever they go.
Lol so you guys are crying about AAs not assimilating but no other foreigner does but u won’t tell them anything. The Arabs labanese Indians Chinese come and you run scared to speak about it but get mad when AAs come lol laughable. At the end of the day it’s up to Africans to fix Africa so we can get real foreigners out that mean Africa no good.
Am I allowed to comment?
I am a Kenyan, I have a lot of opinion and reserved ideas that stretch over several years. Philosophy, history, culture and logic.
Please oshay, most Africans don’t react like this, it needs context, some will act like that but they have a good heart and are willing to learn. Definitely need this conversation, blessings fam🙌🏿
Lol thier acting like this right in the comments
Great Couple ,great Channels
Oshay, you say you “don’t care about what people comment on about you” but your passion for your people speaks otherwise! 👏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾
Why can’t he go back to his people and live us alone here in Africa…..he seems to have lots of negative views about africans which are based on his false narrative about africa
@@sandindamae.iwantmetowin5652 Also, you (e.g., Africans) are our people! That’s why he’s so passionate about what he has witnessed and experienced on the continent!
@@Train2Liv so passionate? We are his people, really?? Don’t you see that this man is on AFRICAN bashing mission here in Uganda? He doesn’t seem to love Ugandan, NIGERIAN and South Africans according to his utterances in his channel. I experienced this narrow attitude about africans from african Americans when I was studying at Tuskegee University in Alabama few years ago and I witness the same narrow ignorant narrative about africans in Africa by this African American. So the ones who hate us and believing we are going to change our culture of love, self constraints and non confrontational in exchange for direct confrontations of bitterness and hatred from some African Americans…should rather remain in USA and not come here. I can’t stand bitterness and hatred.They don’t know us…..we are just recovering from colonisation and trying to build our lives and they judged us based on their negative narrative about africa.
@@Train2LivWe're not your people, you're out people. Not go acting original here😅

I just find Africans to be childish and lost ….it’s crazy how naive they can be in certain settings ….
naivety goes both ways...AA come here expecting to feel like they are home until they learn that they have to work for it, learn the culture and assimilate with the beggars they hate so much.
Thats a painful truth and this applies to all african countries
Nothing but the truth has been spoken here
A majority of Black Americans complain about everything. It's different here in Africa. We take ownership of our challenges
There is absolutely no difference you complain when you want to see change. There are just as many Africans complaining and protesting as we speak. Taking ownership does nothing with if there is no action behind it.
That is so true
@@Queenc782 we take ownership because a majority of Africans dont depend on the government to solve our problems. We work on ourselves and help our community. That's the difference.
@@KingNnaji..A few yrs ago when they started moving to Africa.They started having problems in the Gambia,I remember a Gambian woman called Renee fighting for her country and I thought she was crazy,,but now seeing all this..She was right all along..
YES THEY DO. The most hard headed, obnoxious group of people who will NEVER admit to their faults
Very honest conversation. Another detriment is the issue of respect for elders no matter what, even when these elders have traded the future of African Children for a pot of porridge. Thankfully the youths are awoke now, asking questions and demanding accountability. I believe that things are changing slowly and a whole lot have to be changed to move forward
Exactly the elders are what held us back for so long as they were raised in colonialism so they have the mindset of the oppressors. To break free we must leave whatever they are saying and do what we know is right. All of the current true leaders fighting for our economic independence on the continent are young men and women
Man that take a hint from China and move forward. China did in 30 years.
Cause they don't hate on each other
Room full of African Americans in Uganda 😊. Look how y’all happy being home
It’s called fear. Awesome content.❤
Black Americans need to go to Africa with skills to build infrastructure like building roads, buildings, helping to make the electricity better etc. Instead of just complaining about how you want things to be done. Lead by example. Also, y’all need to tell the truth a lot of black towns in America are run down believe me I know. Please tell the truth. Important note: At least the brother told the truth about the lack of unity of black Americans.
Learn history African Americans revolutionized all of West Africa and a good portion of the rest of the continent
Very rich conversation great minds make progress towards peace and development . Well done. !!
Great show! As a Kenyan living between DC and Nairobi for the last 25 yrs, I agree with your most of your observations about how we do 😊. Will continue watching and adding some historical perspectives to these conversations moving forward.
I have an interesting history... born in Harlem, NYC to Kenyan parents who both attended HBCUs (Morehouse and Spelman). I was "smuggled" out of the US to kenya as a child...yes the other way round😂
I grew up in Kenya and returned to the US when I was 32yrs.
My recent 10 years in Nairobi have been a rabbit hole experience to say the least.
Long and short..I am back in DC and I ain't going back...
Shout out to the full Black Americans cast ,you should do more of these, it's more fun.
This avoidance of direct confrontation isn't just an African thing. Asians, particularly Chinese and Japanese, do the same thing among themselves and with others.
The whole panel was very critical of us Africans,but when we criticise black Americans failings, the FBA crowd gets angry. Africans we don’t like washing our dirty laundry in public, we like to talk in house about our areas for improvements or failings, it’s the culture. As an East African, we don’t discuss our problems publicly 😊
We not no damn fba 's
They always air their weird things.
Oooh
Our hair oooh our color . Oooh our weave oooh our wigs ooooh our different colours yet they say they are one colour in public. Like people cannot see.😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@tonymckinney1355 YES YOU ARE. YOU CALL YOURSELVES A CRYON COLOUR BLACK
@@tonymckinney1355 Then you get pissed no one else wants it.
Not only do Africans publicly criticize black Americans in the United States they get in positions of power and tell us what we don't need.
There's a Nigerian politician in Michigan saying that we need to do away with black history in the United States. When you give that type of energy don't start crying when its giving back to you.
This was a really good and informative episode. How can we who are still in the states support the development of the diaspora living in Africa? I agree with you. There will be no progress until we learn to love ourselves and each other.
Oshay mentioned many Nigerians are prosperous in America. This is true. As for Black American People, I am one of them, U.S. Government has declared War against us ever since we got here.
After enslavement, we built our own successful towns, schools, universities, businesses etc.
ALL of those were destroyed in the 1920's-1980's.
Some were burned down by white supremacist groups, some were bulldozed down by city officials, or state government officials saying they want to build highways, hospital complexes, government would never compensate the Black People. Some were purposely flooded out by the United States Army Core of Engineers.
Those All Black towns are still under water right now. Manmade lakes were put on top of the towns. Government would refuse us loans etc.
Nigerians & other immigrants were not subjected to the experiences like Black Americans were.
I'm confused. Are Black Americans living the life as other comments suggest or are you mostly impoverished victims of wyt supremacy with only a very few that actually get a slice of the proverbial pie? I think you should all have a meeting to decide what is the truth.
😂😂Always AA who have something to say . Why don't you ( AA ) act like chinese, lebonese and all other foreigners who are making miney in Africa ,they investing in a lot of sectors though we all can criticize how they invest and how they treat their local workers but this is not the point. The point is why dont those foreigners make videos complaining about Africa ? Why only you AA ?
MARK MEETS AFRICA please stop picking on the british all the time , we are all black africans but we are also different culturally, so east africans are traditionally calm , relatively polite and don't act in a direct way like Nigerians or west africans in general, so why the heck do you say that east africans took this way of behaving from the british ? This is an insult.
If east africans drink tea at 12 PM its true this is british but don't say their polite behavior is british too
I wonder what they'll say about Ethiopia's calm culture since they were not colonised by anyone.
Tread lightly my Black American Brothers and Sisters. You are pilgrims in a foreign land. Most people take chagrin when you come into their home and start criticising the interior.
But Africans do this in America. They have brought generational vitriol & Usery to America & have openly said the things that were taught by their elders against Blk Americans...But we are wrong to speak honestly abt the continent. Bullshit
The same goes with Africans and the Caribbean people come to America and are all up in our business, especially our reparations. They become politicians and go against black Americans trying to take away black history month in America. They don't tread lightly here in America.
Exactly. It’s one thing to have constructive criticism and another to just have criticism based off of hate, jealousy, insecurities, envy which is a sad plague in the Black American community.
I think both of you miss the whole point.. 🤦🏿
@@Silverbackugx Nah, nothing missed..🤦🏽♀️
16:35 to 17:02 really hits at the core perspective of Africans living abroad. It is often that people don’t return home until they are old, in a coffin or vacationing.
27:50 About leaving when your passport expires. For 3 months . Dubai / UAE has thesame laws and this law applies for all nationalities
In African American culture , you pull out a gun when criticized, and you want to teach others about constructive criticism. how long have you all lived in. Africa ? don't make such comments until you have lived there for decades . You think you have the authority to speak about a place after 1 or 2 years thats arrogance
Pull out a gun? That a stereotype. And yall die from hunger and have no shoes. That’s a stereotype as well
I agree, when Africans, criticise " black culture" they get upset and say we are looking down upon them which is not the case. What they are complaining about is very valid and we should learn from each other.
As a kenyan, I know kenyans are very welcoming and accomodating not just to AAs but other Africans as well! We already have many AAs flocking to kenya and living here and as long as they keep saying positive things about kenya, then kenyans keep reminding them of how they’re much welcomed and loved here!🙄 The issue starts when AAs try to make comparisons between kenya and other African countries! That’s when all kenyan flock to the comments section and constantly give their opinion as to why they not only think, but actually know that kenya is better and superior than the rest! 😅
You can even compare Singapore to kenya but as long as you conclude kenya is better than Singapore, then kenyans will be happy with you, otherwise they won’t accept anything is better than their country, lol 🙄
Kenyans please, we need to chill out and even if we are doing great, there’s others doing better than us!
I diagree with you, kenya dont mind negative truthful comments, lie and lit up your behind
We dont mind the criticism , its how they package it....if it comes with airs of superiority we wont put up with it.
Your opinions are not our opinions. These guys are just creating controversies for viewership. Nothing about Kenya .... these are people trying to show us that they're superior to Africans and we should change for them coz they come from heaven
@@AmazingMania
Let's stop the hypocrisy, some Africans are online disrespecting other Africans and their countries. When some of these RUclips content creators make comparison videos between African countries you see how someAfricans are arguing saying all kinds of nasty vindictive things towards each other. Now some Africans are getting upset because their favourite RUclipsrs are now being disrespectful to their country but it was ok when they diss another country just as long as it's not yours.
Kenya is the best country in the world
Good show.
Beautiful Show! 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
They ain’t call it the “brain drain” for nothing… 🤷🏿♂️
I think Oshay is being hypocritical on the part where he claims that the Africans who went abroad could not make it here while the same could be used in his case, he could not make it in the US. Most of them went there for opportunities and I think the same is true for Black Americans coming back to the continent.
Nowadays the guy is creating controversies especially about Kenya to create viewership 😂😂😂... otherwise he got nothing unique
You have to already be rich to do well in africa bro you need to be serious. 😅😅😅😅 when I came here I was already a top 10 percent earned according to the United States records. That was before coming to africa at all.
@Kenganda I thought you don't give af? Why are you getting defensive?
@Kenganda according to African standards most Americans in general are rich which is obvious due to your currency having a higher purchasing power, that's why most average Americans regardless of race can go to developing countries and have a relatively comfortable life
@Kenganda of course don't get me wrong, guys. I'm a big fan of the show, but just as you guys claim to call people out, we'll also hold you accountable to your statements

Interesting!
correction for brother Mark: east African "politeness/reticence" is also found in countries that weren't British colonies. In fact, Nigeria is one of the few countries on the continent that speaks its mind. And they were a British colony
But there is a difference between settler colony and a protectorate which is the situation in Kenya & Nigeria respectively
@@wyragu he suggested that reticence was some colonial hangover. It isn't.
Great episode 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Unpopular opinion, most Africans believe that south Africans don't like them, based on news media, that could be the reason for the backlash
