    As a Ghanaian watching this; it brought serious tears to me.
    Last year I had the Opportunity to visit Jamaica, and honestly the people the culture and the vibe is a true blessing.
    If you know your history you’ll know how much the Jamaican culture has influenced the the world.
    When I told them I’m from Ghana 🇬🇭 the love was incomparable.
    Magical people man.
    It’s crazy how similar the people are to us folk from Ghana.
    I was surprised when I said medasse to a clerk in the grocery shop say- and she smiled and asked where I learnt it from.
    Little did I know she was from the maroon town and advised it means thank you.
    I said we Akans say the same in Ghana.
    I do know a many of Jamaicans are descendants of the Fante, Ga, Akyem and Ashanti Tribes of Ghana and Igbo of Nigeria as well as the Congos including Angola.

    This is where you need to use your influence as an influencer sir. You have over a million and a half followers on RUclips you need to bring this to the media and have everyone that follows you flood the social media network with comments about this so it can go all the way up to the top on CAL airline,, I’m from Trinidad and I’m ashamed of how they treated you and Lady Tigress in this past month. She to has expressed the same exact situation a couple weeks ago same counties. We need to stand together as a unity to make a strong statement we are willing to boycott CAL airlines if this nonsense continues amongst our African Brothers and sisters. Have your team come up with a plan and let’s see and end to this type of discrimination against Africans travelers in the Caribbean region. I know you’re happy to be there in Jamaica now with your team however it is your duty to not let this happen again with others that follows. I’m willing to help how ever I can to see an end to this issue. Meanwhile have fun in the sun. But don’t ever forget.

    The sound track you used for this video 👌🏿👌🏿🔥
    I've been to Jamaica so many times, it's even Visa free for Uganda. I did so many projects with Jamaican Artistes. I loved it, and right from the airport, as soon as they know you're from Africa, you're treated like royalty.

    Congratulations and welcome to Jamaica Maya and Trudy. I did my 23 and Me and realized that my maternal side is linked to Nelson Mandela. Also, my DNA is link to Ghana. I will visit Africa one day. I was in Jamaica 1 week ago for my uncle's funeral. Sorry you were not there, when I visited. Would have love to meet you. I have been watching you from you China days. You need to visit the Parish of St Thomas. Itt has lots of history link to the slave coming from Africa. Blessings and enjoy ❤❤❤❤🙏
