*I want to move to Africa so bad. I'm a black American who has never left the U.S. But I am fascinated by Africa and honestly too many blacks in America are traumatized by our history in America. We have PTSD. Undiagnosed PTSD. Most blacks in America are as if they are 'shell shocked'. America has been a hellish experience for many blacks. There is a constant unease with being black in America.*
Anonymous Well come back home bro. Many people are coming back like Ghana, Gambia, Botswana, Kenya, Uganda. some of me favourite places . And you feel home as these countries are English speaking. .. Bless. . Peace. .
+Tonya Patterson, Blacks which are treally Hebrews according to History and the blble should get ready for the prophesied 2nd EXODUS. We will never be free until we are free of them. We need our own EVERYTHING.
Dustin Heath, who are those that enslaved you and sold you? Which part of African continent are you talking about that there are still slavery till day?
I started learning the truth and beauty of Africa when I was in the military a little over a decade ago. It was one of our port calls in the Navy and we had a few free days to enjoy the area we were in. When I tell you that day for me was LIFE CHANGING!!! The air, the water, the spirit of the motherland just felt so right. So much so that I just felt betrayed and lied to by the US my entire life about Africa. After that, I took it upon myself to learn more and appreciate our culture so much more.
Same here, we have to give our children a homeland they can return too and a culture so they know who they are and not live their life through the lens of Europeans.
Mike Lowrey Brother, América is your land, the Trans Atlantic slave trade never happened. Wake up brother. Black Americans didn't come on no ship across the dangerous ass Atlantic ocean.
The extent of the desire to return home extends to those of African parents born and raised in the diaspora. We should also help facilitate your homecoming process I feel. We should be a bridge too.
Glad to hear you are reconnecting with your actual tribe. I know Ghana is the 'acceptable' West African country to visit for African Americans but I patiently wait for the rest of WA to be embraced.
Ghana is a headway when it comes to these things but most west African counties are receptive as well. It seem Ghana is more welcoming because ghana is a pioneer in pan Africanism. Ghana has a string legacy of accepting the diaspora which dates back to 1940s
While this is great, as an African I must advise against romanticizing Africa and Africans. Africa is a continent and people even who realize this, don't realize what it means. Africa is a continent just like Europe is a continent. Looking at Europe, you'll realize that Europeans don't associate with each other based on skin color. They have different nations and different cultures. Knowing this, I would warn those who wish to relocate or visit Africa to know that they will not simply be accepted based on their skin color. Just because you're black doesn't mean Africans will accept you, because they don't know who you are. Secondly to make things easier for yourself, and to make it easy for people to accept you, try to learn from them. I've noticed too many of you when you visit, are too quick to judge, too slow to learn and quick to teach. Learn first and teach later, learn to listen first. Most important thing is RESPECT. Africans value respect not just for your elders but for strangers. Respect is not earned but is the default setting of the African, changing only once they realize you have no decorum. You must learn to talk to people respectfully and remember this isn't your country, you're a guest so behave like one and you will quickly be accepted.
ONO Home OMG couldn't be said better and to the point in a short space and time. I have been watching their comments and getting frustrated by the minute on their be halves. I want them to come and assimilate into our society the right way respecting our culture. Please don't come trying to europeanise us. The European tried and failed. thanks for breaking it down. I their note
Eden Garden Africans have European ized THEMSELVES IN ORDER TO FIT IN with no help from American Blacks, they won't socialize with most✔, any problems, they brought on themselves. I Dont see why so many blacks are falling over themselves to get to Africa, we clearly need to come to terms about cultural differences first. At this point I wouldn't take a chance in any unfriendly environment💯...✌
I agree with U on bringing the pro problem on themselves yet want to blame the white man,same to be said of the black American and .This need to be corrected
ONO Home, i agree with u my friend, many people in Africa have no idea what blacks in America/Europe/and even Latin America face as far is direct racial hate and self hate. And Blacks overhere have no idea what Africa is like. In Africa im just an american, or westerner so we should really learn, and humble ourselves before we go there. Same thing when u come to America or Europe you might be from Kenya, but over here your just another black guy!
You are talking backwards. The same Europeans you like to cite would leave Scotland, end up in France, and is respected. Would leave Germany, end up in Spain, and be respected. What is the common denorminator? Skin color. You have been brainwashed by the same Europeans not to unite around skin color, but all the exploitation of Africans by other cultures, is based on skin color. The sooner Africans begin to unite and accept one another based on African ancestry, the sooner we liberate ourselves. Granted, your comments are more applicable to everyone including Africans in the Diaspora who have rejected their Africanness, to borrow Euro culture; not the same with PAN-Africanist. The lady who posted this video is a PanAfricanist. Did you hear say "Africa for the Africans?", not Africa for everybody; Chinese, Arab, Europeans, Indians, Brazilians like some of you espouse!
I don't think Europeanisation can just apply to Black American or Europeans today. Right now in African countries themselves the younger generation are being influenced through globalization, social media and the internet to act and behave like American, because they think the culture is 'cooler' than their own African culture. There is a serious issue amongst young Africans, an this should be addressed too, because the values, traditions and customs of Africa will die out through this younger generation!
Yomi Dahi, I absolutely agreed with your comment,(Fela Anikulapo Kuti) one of African great musician once said, if you are an African,why are you wearing European dress.
Yomi Dahl Africans still have culture when it comes to marriage, launguage,Funeral, inherantence, food, music etc. A lot of things you call Normal in America is European traditions.
Wow , you sure made a good point , I never thought about it like that , but she's oviously from Africa , so her view may be a lot different from ours ........... Smile
True. Just check what they are being taught at school. African history has largely been removed from the curriculum. Most of our young people do not know anythng about who we truly are. There is however the realisation among the older people that this has to change. It has started slowly but I guess it is one step at a time.
Whats ironic about this is that my upbringing in New York among black Americans who upheld African spirituality, African naming ceremonies for children, pouring libation to ancestors, health food, natural hair/ African braiding, African dance & drumming, etc, was more Afro-centric than that of my African college friends- who were very "Europeanized" and elitist.
+Eddie Meeks Greetings brother and thank you. Yessss make the journey home if I'm not mistaken Balanta and Tikar of Cameroon are related I will have to check the information. Like you I am making my first trip home to the Bamileke people of Cameroon in June. Please share lots of photos and video of your journey back home, Because this is your first trip back you may be a little culture shocked but you will love returning to your roots and while there you will adjust. There is nothing like waking up in the morning knowing you are in a country of millions of people who look like you. Safe travels brother!
Idk if she realized it but for most AA people you would have to go back MUCH further than great-great grandparents to find someone who was actually from Africa
the easy way to make money in Africa is in farming what we lack in africa is the technology and we will be glad if our brother and sisters in the diaspora will assist to bring this tech to help grow the new Africa food (85% of food is imported to africa every year )so think about the opportunity in africa only in farming
+PAA KWESI EWUSIE SAGOE Perfectly said brother we need to support each other cultural, social, and business endeavors because Africa is a bread basket and she is our birthright!
No problem brother I'm interested. I'm sick and tired of america, I'm currently preparing to move to Ghana. I plan to start a business out there and do some other investments. I'll research on Ghanas agriculture. I will be contributing to the motherland. All of us Africans are royalty, the continent was filled with kings and Queens. Every African brother is a King and every African sister is a Queen. I'm coming home.
I would LOVE to live in an African country and be a part of a community there. We never asked to be Americanized. Yet sadly my Nigerian friend tells me how African women are becoming Americanized
It is soo encouraging watching many African Americans interested on connecting with Africa but I'm also patiently waiting for them to embrace the rest of West Africa. It is important to reconnect with your actual tribe and traditions and not substitute that with Ghana although I get that Ghana is the 'acceptable' place for African Americans to visit at the moment.
+SylviasWorld Thanks for the comment, there are many of us that are reconnecting to countries like Nigeria, Senegal, Guinea, Cameroon, Sierra Leon, Liberia etc. This shift that our people are going through is a process and one that takes time. I would like to see more of us move at a greater pace myself reconnecting with our families and original culture back home. I find that we are living in a great time where all of us are making history or rewriting ourstory, imagine a 100 years from now people will remember and speak of those Africans that returned home and reconnected to their roots but this must be a process!
+Diaspora Wire Tv thanks for replying and I think Africans in Africa and the diaspora should make deliberate contributions in your journey home. Funnily enough there is also a move for people of African parents born abroad to head home too.
I love my home america😊😊. It's just as beautiful here. There are a lot businesses in America. We black Americans are indigenous to the USA. It's great that you love it there, but again, the USA is my home. Keep in mind that across the globe, there are economic issues as well.
Black Americans romanticize about Africa too much. As I've gotten to learn about the actual African continent I've developed mixed views on it. Africa has both good things and bad thing about it. African countries need more poverty reduction and corruption needs to be dealt with better on the continent. Africa also has too many outdated cultural practices like FGM,Trokosi,widow cleansing,child brides and some cultures who will accuse little children of being witches. So I'm all for Black Americans "getting back" to Africa but we need to develop a broader understanding of what things are actually like on the continent. So start checking out African news sources and not just listening to U.S Afrocentric lecturers for your info on Africa.
CrowdPleeza, point of correction everyone from an African descent has the same culture but different cultural expression or cultural perception called Tradition. It is the tradition that is outdated not the culture because Culture is the consciousness.
CrowdPleeza It is very important to check the correct provider of information. From what I've learned, is that what people will you tell you what they want you to know and continue telling that until you believe it. Just pay a visit to any country, make sure you you come as an African not as an American on European.
apolo kabali , I hear what you are saying, if we look at Africa like our own, we'll be able to make a correct decision. My main concern is Africans from outside of Africa, coming here and fail to conduct themselves as Africans. Maybe I'm hash, hence I stress that point about source of information about intier African . We also need to look at the white supremacy hand book, only then we'll have a better idea and direction. I strongly believe that Africa does match America in your eyes. Look at the demographics and tell me are African American getting equal opportunities in the corporate world, as airline pilots? ???
How about you go there and see it for yourself, first?? All the things you mention are mostly in the countryside and it's not everybody who practise them!! You'd be surprised at how many Africans despite living in the motherland live the westerner life style!!!
Trails and tribulation are in America too. If you love Africa, try your best to stay thru the "storm". If you want things to be like in America, then stay in America!
Great video sister. I took both the patriclan and the matriclan test from the African Ancestry DNA test and when I get my results, I will travel to the countries of my ethnic origin. I plan on visiting certain countries in the near future as well.
memyself4ever1 I think the DNA test is something you should take it why can't afford it but don't be surprised at the results. A cousin of mine had her DNA done and it showed I believe nine or 10 African countries in her DNA plus Irish ,Jewish ,and British.
Love your natural presence sista'. Thanks so much for the footage of the country side. I dig where you are coming from on Africans in america's pot of acculturation...
Ghana is definitely my calling I've never been to Africa before but somehow I have this Ghanaian spirit inside. For me repatriation is a must Jamaica is where I live but Africa is my home
Keep in mind that most Jamaicans are originally from Ghana. Nana on a currency, captain Kwadjo are Ghanaian name. Reading Macus Garvey,'s bio indicates that he was told that his people are the people of the Golden stool. Perhaps you may wanna read about
Having lived in various areas in different countries, I believe that ppl adapt and learn the area to which they live and/or grow up. It’s simple. To say someone is “ized” is odd. One can be African American grow up in Africa, leave and learn another culture and then leave there to learn another. I hate the notion that ALL black ppl must always be ONE particular way. It’s dumb. Just like ALL white ppl aren’t one way and all Japanese aren’t one way, please stop the whole ONE way is the only way for African descendants to be because frankly, my DNA is blessed WHEREVER I am and it’s great that it can survive ANYWHERE. I love being WHO I am and in the skin I’m in without ppl who haven’t walked ten miles in anyone else’s shoes to tell them what they should or shouldn’t act like based on the SKIN COLOR. Africans and African Americans share much alike and instead of hating and criticizing, we must respect and adore OUR FIGHTS AND LIVES in the motherland and abroad. We connect!
Come to Zambia! Bring more African American entrepreneurs and businessmen! It is easier to push your government from here than when inside America! Think about that and whatsapp me for details!
The extent of the desire to return home extends to those of African parents born and raised in the diaspora. We should also help facilitate your homecoming process also.
You presented beautifully as you say you need to have a plan to move back to Africa. I was born and raised in the beautiful East Africa Ethiopia in addition to your plan go s in addition to your plan see other part of Africa and than u will have A better sense what Africa look like.i wish everything will go as u wish sister and Go with God
If you have a mindset to think the traditions & customs of whatever part of the continent you live in then you can make good and live well, but it depends on you. Are you accustom to living the American Dream or do you really want to be apart of something great which is the African culture? The African culture is so creative, brilliant ,innovative, inventive, skillful, artistry, mathematical, philosophers, resourceful etc. there is nothing they can't do.....and if you are apart of that culture then you benefit. I've seen ppl make their life work well in Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Gambia that came from America having little or nothing but yet they are doing well, and they do not miss America at all. You can no longer have a mindset like you did when you lived in America if you want to live well in that great continent. America incarcerates your mind to make you think you cannot do well in the African continent but you CAN. Stay focus and do it.
Great your Bamileke. They are enterprising. But, America has no hand outs. Citizens pay taxes for those services. The 1950s post-war era is the reason why the country went from entrepreneurs (market people) to employees. I wish people make accurate comparisons. And why be ashamed of being American, even if you choose to integrate into an African culture.
The reality is that both continental and diaspora Africans are Europeanized. We have parallel experiences. Colonization and slavery have created African people who are out of our African minds literally. Having spent a great deal of time in multiple African countries, I can truly say that Africans on the continent are no more African than those in the diaspora.
Keep in mind that this is just one country in Africa, go next door to Nigeria you could have an entirely different experience, I have been told don't go there unless you know someone because it is not safe to do so. I am glad this young lady is having a very good time in Ghana.
+spadedz my wife is native Burundian, and she just traveled through Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi and the DRC last month, and yah, each county is drastically different. Some regions are very dangerous for westerners, even though she is native to Burundi and has lived in the Congo before, she hasn't been to Africa for about 15 years, and in-order to make the trip, she had to de-westernize herself, very little make up, no pants, just long skirts and no Jewelry. Even then, she said she stuck out like a sore thumb. She said Kenya was wonderful, very tolerant and multicultural, Burundi was OK, she felt safe there because it was her home country but other than that, not safe for outsiders. Rwanda was very clean, but dangerous, apparently the government is very severe and has tight grip on its population, and the Congo was OK, she has family there, but the region they were in was very very poor, almost no infrastructure such as good roads, running water, electricity etc etc, and once again, not accommodating to outsiders. So yah, even if your black, you're not guaranteed to be welcomed in some parts of Africa, and an individual should travel with due caution.
Everyone trying to start a business here in Ghana, You have do engage in massive business development, obviousely if you are new and don't have connections here, like being new in any other country, you have to build your own network, find out about what is required to get on vendor lists for both private and government in order to be able to provide services. Go to PPA website to see what you need to register with them . PPA registration will allow you bid for all govt. Tenders. If you are moving to Ghana, please talk to the right people . We would love to help.
Africans in diaspora are welcomed in Africa. They should come back and contribute to the upliftment of Africa. They can have dual citizenships but their allegiance should change to be African. Chinese diaspora contributed immensely in uplifting China when they returned home. Our glorious mission today is to make Africa great as it was before slavery times. Its only unity of Africans all over the world that we can overcome racism which Africans suffer from caucasians mostly. Unity of Africans starts here in Africa when Africa is United as one country
And Ghana has been Europeanized as well. They speak English and have tea like the British. I married an African. Africa is being pounced on by many white nations. I hope it stays as close to African culture as they are. Even though they have lost a lot already.
Tina Fey The British was not the first to eat rice and milk. especially rice. Rice was raised in the wettest hot nations. India, Africa, Bagledesh, Sri Lanka, china. mainly during Mosoon season. Most of the British culture came from a collection of other cultures. Britain is a young nation. research
manlius wtf are you talking about. 😂😂. What trials and tribulations? If you are in any African city, nobody give af about where you're coming from. Besides you look exactly like them and would get a lot of positive attraction from the locals because of your accent. White people and Chinese go there and don't face 'trials' talkless of a black man person.
At about 12minutes 37seconds of this video, the sister said that the transition to Africa isn't an easy one and how many had to go back to America or wherever. Besides, you don't need to live on the continent of Africa originally called the land of Ham-Kemet by the ALMIGHTY CREATOR, to have self-esteem Black Soul Integrity Pride, it is obviously from within. Many Blacks that are born in Africa and raised have souled out long ago. This Black Israelite Hebrew American woman is clearly lost, and have not studied the Ancient Records.
Very articulate young lady...Your video was very informative and I look forward to more, but could I respectfully ask u to show more sites in Ghana or Cameroon or wherever u may be please...Also u are a very pretty girl with beautiful skin, but would u try to hold the camera farther away from ur face please...Thanks again and I look forward to more of ur videos..
As a beginning of rebirth to learning and progress of nations of the dark continent. The first thing to do is as a people and race is the proper name. The European's call our land Africa by their definition sunny hot. We should call our land HAMAIA or HAMAYA BECAUSE IT'S PEOPLE ARE IN THE MAJORITY DECENDENTS OF( HAM). Thus we take back our power over ourselves and to define ourselves in all ways.
European dominance didn't just negatively affect those of us who were forcibly removed from the continent. Colonialism did a colossal job on those who remained, and the negative influences continue today.
BRODA FROM GH. LIVIN SOMEWHERE EUROPE, VERY HARD N STRONG IN CHARACTER BUT, JUST DONT KNOW WHY I KEEP SHARIN TEARS WHENEVER I WATCHED THESE SISTAS N BRODAS FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SEA MAKING THIS KINDS OF VIDEOS, AND CANT EXPLAIN IT...WOW
sovereign blackwoman take a leisure trip to where on the continent U want to settle and figure it out yourself. Get acquainted with the locals first. we Africans seem very simple from the outside but can be very complicated when we choose to be. I am a Ghanaian but there are some nice other countries aside from my own. All the best of luck to you
I respect a lot those Americans going to Africa looking for oppunities and a new life meanewhile bringing their values into an other country in order to improve themselves and the community.
You do not know all African Americans and so you cannot say we are all "Europeanized." Honey, we made Europeans and Americans...we are the creators of all mankind...just as you are. Instead, you should title your video..."Some" African Americans are Europeanized. I have the best DNA, and Genetic make up, just as you Black woman...so please do not come out publicly again, against another group of Black people. It is not the way things should be done. We are not enemies.
+PT Witcher preach brother but I agree with some of this ladies views most African Americans in America are Europeanized to the core. I agree not all but definitely most IMO. Peace
Alot of people don't even realize that Africa is a continent just like America is a continent. Europeanized is kinda backwards as the American continent entails Mexico , Canada, The United States and so forth. But I get what you're saying. I would love to visit Lagos or Johannesburg. Even Monrovia in Liberia ,I have family there. Thought about moving there but I'm 46 with health problems so hopefully my kids or grandchildren can spread my ashes off the Angola coast since that's where my ancestors journey began.
Yes"...the way people treat each other on a social level..." that's the difference here in US; generally, there's little compassion, too many divisions, socially, economically, racially etc.
I've been to Ghana several times and other African countries. There are different regions In certain parts of Africa that have jungles, but are slowly being torn down for development. You can have a beautiful view, but if you have no money it means, NOTHING. Africa is no utopia.....it's an amazing continent with enormous wealth controlled by whites and don't ever forget that.
Africa has been going through years and years of exploitation and hence why it's no utopia because of the after effects of exploitation. But you can't say that it's all controlled by whites, thats not true, the leaders have much more control but just allow whites to build their business on the land
to be honest , you really look like a bamiliké girl. Bamiliké people are the most successful tribe in Cameroon. They make up about 30% of the total population. You will be find over there, they have very rich men, just in case
Only some not all ... but we will await on the rest to wake up.... blessing's forward to all my American Africans . Will over come . with love an knowledge each one teach one....
You should give yourself some time. Don't over romanticize life anywhere. Especially girls like this who are obviously who are new to the area and excited. She said Africa doesn't have jungles? Of course it does. Some beautiful untrammeled jungles. She is having fun now and in vacation mode. Make another video in a couple years after the glow wears off.
Definitely a romanticized view of Ghana. Ghanaians are leaving the country in droves (relatively speaking), many coming to U.S.A., yet there is less than even a trickle of African Americans just visiting Ghana. There are reasons for that; Ghanaians themselves don't even view their country in the same light as the presenter does.
kweli05 many afro Americans have a highly inaccurate view of history in general. Too many receive their history education from HollyWood race dramas and the even harder to verify hundreds upon hundreds of TH-cam vids of dubious origins and accuracy.
they will be sorry when the come! these are the ones who do not know about white supremacy present and past and not to criticize them, but many Africans in general do not know about our enslave ancestors and the dehumanizing treatment by whites
Jmikey Surely you jest. Europeans outlawed slavery by force, not because they up an realized what they were doing was inhuman and evil, not because of some altruistic reasons. Slavery was bad for business and the white man's life. Black people can be thankful to themselves, particularly Haitians, for providing this wake up call.
kweli05 I 'll have to look back. I may have confused comments with others. I'll get back to you. But in the meantime , I'm the boy. I'm usually correct and fair minded.
Thank you my sister for clarifications about Africa. Am from Uganda and i love all my African pple be it in Diaspora or on the continent itsself. All African Countries have similarities in the way they live and do Business. Like that Man moving with Cows. Also very common in Uganda. People are farmers even here. They sell all sorts of fruits & veggies. But still white especially in South Africa. say mbu if they live Africa we will starve. Yet our families have been living off their lands for centuries before the whites came. Uhmm.
if your origins come from Cameroon then that's where you should move to or buy a land and build your house there. but like every other African you can always travel around. go to Ghana do business and back. go to Europe or America Asia do business and back. you're not glued to one place. this is what the whites have done to African Americans, they have made them believe that they can't go anywhere or they are bound to one place. most importantly development of your home town (in your case Cameroon) is what gets you respect from your own people. your people give you Chief title when you do for your community. they also give headship tittles to females as well.
I’m a Nigerian but, I’m proud of what Ghana is doing. The time to stop talking and start doing the little things like give lands to black people in the diaspora to uplift the life of Africans and black people all over the world is now
Glad I don’t have that head problem, I’m black I’m American this is where I was born ,this is where I will stay, besides you leave one problem for another, the best side to be on is the side of Love, Don’t make God teach you that!
not, when did I say any such thing that they should "throw that country away"??? How did you get all of that from me saying that Liberia, AT THIS TIME, is too violent and unstable to relocate to in peace?

They are friendly because they never get tourist there. No one ever visits there and its a novelty to see a foreigner. In the west visitors from foreign lands are so common that we are jaded to them,
Nope you got it wrong brother. You don't need tourist in your neighborhood to be friendly. It is part of the cultural upbringing. The culture in America is not friendly compared to other cultures and you can't debate that. Maybe you can learn something if you decide to travel and broaden your horizon instead of being so fixated. The world is large so explore and purge yourself from ignorance.
pforce9 you're kidding? right that's just ignorance and im white ..now in the village yes the poor side Hell visit or Google downtown ghana or Google South Africa now south Africa is like America it's black and white..indian
In reality anytime you go anywhere outside of whatever country you are from you will have a culture shock when I went to Jamaica it was a culture shock when I went to a European or mostly white country it was still a culture shock. So it would be no different if somebody go to Africa.lol. I say that to say this people shouldn’t say they being European it’s pretty much you are used to where you’re from that’s all. Everyone go through a culture shock when stepping outside of there country. So it’s not just black Americans.
*I want to move to Africa so bad. I'm a black American who has never left the U.S. But I am fascinated by Africa and honestly too many blacks in America are traumatized by our history in America.

Anonymous Well come back home bro. Many people are coming back like Ghana, Gambia, Botswana, Kenya, Uganda. some of me favourite places . And you feel home as these countries are English speaking. .. Bless. . Peace. .
This is a blessin I hope. As we should bring with us any knowledge and wealth to unlift Hamaia(the continent of Africa).

Brother, América is your land, the Trans Atlantic slave trade never happened. Wake up brother. Black Americans didn't come on no ship across the dangerous ass Atlantic ocean.
+Yudah El how our ancestors died and was treated in America and you want to insult us like that by denying their existence you're nuts
+Yudah El
Wrong. Your just ashamed.
Yudah El stop lol . You need to know history. I'm Ethiopian and we even know it happened. You people are confused there .
I am at a cross road in my life. My spirit has already told me to move back to Africa. I will continue to build up my plan.

You are welcome dear, I live in Accra, almost 40k AAs are living in Ghana, they are safe and living in Peace
u welcome bro
thats y we love much more akon

As a cameroonian when I first saw u on your video I knew u were a Cameroonian
Glad to hear you are reconnecting with your actual tribe. I know Ghana is the 'acceptable' West African country to visit for African Americans but I patiently wait for the rest of WA to be embraced.
Ghana is a headway when it comes to these things but most west African counties are receptive as well. It seem Ghana is more welcoming because ghana is a pioneer in pan Africanism. Ghana has a string legacy of accepting the diaspora which dates back to 1940s
Exactly my brother, padmore and W.E Dubois were welcomed stayed in Ghana.
@@francisyeboah8697 Rwanda is in East Africa but it seems nice.
While this is great, as an African I must advise against romanticizing Africa and Africans. Africa is a continent and people even who realize this, don't realize what it means. Africa is a continent just like Europe is a continent. Looking at Europe, you'll realize that Europeans don't associate with each other based on skin color. They have different nations and different cultures. Knowing this, I would warn those who wish to relocate or visit Africa to know that they will not simply be accepted based on their skin color. Just because you're black doesn't mean Africans will accept you, because they don't know who you are. Secondly to make things easier for yourself, and to make it easy for people to accept you, try to learn from them.
I've noticed too many of you when you visit, are too quick to judge, too slow to learn and quick to teach. Learn first and teach later, learn to listen first. Most important thing is RESPECT. Africans value respect not just for your elders but for strangers. Respect is not earned but is the default setting of the African, changing only once they realize you have no decorum. You must learn to talk to people respectfully and remember this isn't your country, you're a guest so behave like one and you will quickly be accepted.
ONO Home OMG couldn't be said better and to the point in a short space and time. I have been watching their comments and getting frustrated by the minute on their be halves. I want them to come and assimilate into our society the right way respecting our culture. Please don't come trying to europeanise us. The European tried and failed. thanks for breaking it down. I their note
Eden Garden Africans have European ized THEMSELVES IN ORDER TO FIT IN with no help from American Blacks, they won't socialize with most✔, any problems, they brought on themselves. I Dont see why so many blacks are falling over themselves to get to Africa, we clearly need to come to terms about cultural differences first. At this point I wouldn't take a chance in any unfriendly environment💯...✌
I agree with U on bringing the pro problem on themselves yet want to blame the white man,same to be said of the black American and .This need to be corrected
ONO Home, i agree with u my friend, many people in Africa have no idea what blacks in America/Europe/and even Latin America face as far is direct racial hate and self hate. And Blacks overhere have no idea what Africa is like. In Africa im just an american, or westerner so we should really learn, and humble ourselves before we go there. Same thing when u come to America or Europe you might be from Kenya, but over here your just another black guy!
You are talking backwards. The same Europeans you like to cite would leave Scotland, end up in France, and is respected. Would leave Germany, end up in Spain, and be respected. What is the common denorminator? Skin color.
You have been brainwashed by the same Europeans not to unite around skin color, but all the exploitation of Africans by other cultures, is based on skin color. The sooner Africans begin to unite and accept one another based on African ancestry, the sooner we liberate ourselves.
Granted, your comments are more applicable to everyone including Africans in the Diaspora who have rejected their Africanness, to borrow Euro culture; not the same with PAN-Africanist. The lady who posted this video is a PanAfricanist. Did you hear say "Africa for the Africans?", not Africa for everybody; Chinese, Arab, Europeans, Indians, Brazilians like some of you espouse!
I don't think Europeanisation can just apply to Black American or Europeans today. Right now in African countries themselves the younger generation are being influenced through globalization, social media and the internet to act and behave like American, because they think the culture is 'cooler' than their own African culture. There is a serious issue amongst young Africans, an this should be addressed too, because the values, traditions and customs of Africa will die out through this younger generation!
Yomi Dahi, I absolutely agreed with your comment,(Fela Anikulapo Kuti) one of African great musician once said, if you are an African,why are you wearing European dress.
Yomi Dahl Africans still have culture when it comes to marriage, launguage,Funeral, inherantence, food, music etc. A lot of things you call Normal in America is European traditions.
Wow , you sure made a good point , I never thought about it like that , but she's oviously from Africa , so her view may be a lot different from ours ........... Smile
Yomi Dahl U are smoking some cheap drugs..they are copying African American culture!!!!there’s a difference
True. Just check what they are being taught at school. African history has largely been removed from the curriculum. Most of our young people do not know anythng about who we truly are. There is however the realisation among the older people that this has to change. It has started slowly but I guess it is one step at a time.
Whats ironic about this is that my upbringing in New York among black Americans who upheld African spirituality, African naming ceremonies for children, pouring libation to ancestors, health food, natural hair/ African braiding, African dance & drumming, etc, was more Afro-centric than that of my African college friends- who were very "Europeanized" and elitist.
Exactly.
Good video. Very informative video. I was in Ghana last July 2015. It was wonderful.
Great video, I will be traveling to Africa for the first time in June to visit the home of my maternal ancestry; the Balanta people of Guinea Bissau
+Eddie Meeks Greetings brother and thank you. Yessss make the journey home if I'm not mistaken Balanta and Tikar of Cameroon are related I will have to check the information. Like you I am making my first trip home to the Bamileke people of Cameroon in June. Please share lots of photos and video of your journey back home, Because this is your first trip back you may be a little culture shocked but you will love returning to your roots and while there you will adjust. There is nothing like waking up in the morning knowing you are in a country of millions of people who look like you. Safe travels brother!
+Diaspora Wire Tv thank you, Cameroon is a beautiful country
Brother did you go tbere? Can you share your experience
just like growing up on a farm in US it's different than living in the city
Idk if she realized it but for most AA people you would have to go back MUCH further than great-great grandparents to find someone who was actually from Africa
the easy way to make money in Africa is in farming what we lack in africa is the technology and we will be glad if our brother and sisters in the diaspora will assist to bring this tech to help grow the new Africa food (85% of food is imported to africa every year )so think about the opportunity in africa only in farming
+PAA KWESI EWUSIE SAGOE Perfectly said brother we need to support each other cultural, social, and business endeavors because Africa is a bread basket and she is our birthright!
No problem brother I'm interested. I'm sick and tired of america, I'm currently preparing to move to Ghana. I plan to start a business out there and do some other investments. I'll research on Ghanas agriculture. I will be contributing to the motherland. All of us Africans are royalty, the continent was filled with kings and Queens. Every African brother is a King and every African sister is a Queen. I'm coming home.
I would LOVE to live in an African country and be a part of a community there. We never asked to be Americanized. Yet sadly my Nigerian friend tells me how African women are becoming Americanized
PAA KWESI EWUSIE SAGOE thank you sir
Great assessment!
This is a great video. Thank you for being so honest with your experience there in Ghana. Peace to you.
What you see my sister not many can see it. I lived in England for years and I am back in Zambia!
It is soo encouraging watching many African Americans interested on connecting with Africa but I'm also patiently waiting for them to embrace the rest of West Africa. It is important to reconnect with your actual tribe and traditions and not substitute that with Ghana although I get that Ghana is the 'acceptable' place for African Americans to visit at the moment.
+SylviasWorld Thanks for the comment, there are many of us that are reconnecting to countries like Nigeria, Senegal, Guinea, Cameroon, Sierra Leon, Liberia etc. This shift that our people are going through is a process and one that takes time. I would like to see more of us move at a greater pace myself reconnecting with our families and original culture back home. I find that we are living in a great time where all of us are making history or rewriting ourstory, imagine a 100 years from now people will remember and speak of those Africans that returned home and reconnected to their roots but this must be a process!
+Diaspora Wire Tv thanks for replying and I think Africans in Africa and the diaspora should make deliberate contributions in your journey home. Funnily enough there is also a move for people of African parents born abroad to head home too.
Diaspora Wire Tv great!!
Ok love this video hope you send us more .
I love my home america😊😊. It's just as beautiful here. There are a lot businesses in America. We black Americans are indigenous to the USA. It's great that you love it there, but again, the USA is my home. Keep in mind that across the globe, there are economic issues as well.
Why cant you visit though?
Yall fell for the most silly trick
Yes we are the first in america but our origins is what is called afrika
All the europeans would do with that forest is plow it down and build oil rigs or resorts
And I would stay in one of those resorts and so would you.
***** nope probablycan't afford these type of treats
yep
Black Americans romanticize about Africa too much. As I've gotten to
learn about the actual African continent I've developed mixed views on
it. Africa has both good things and bad thing about it. African
countries need more poverty reduction and corruption needs to be dealt
with better on the continent. Africa also has too many outdated cultural
practices like FGM,Trokosi,widow cleansing,child brides and some cultures who will
accuse little children of being witches. So I'm all for Black Americans
"getting back" to Africa but we need to develop a broader understanding
of what things are actually like on the continent. So start checking out
African news sources and not just listening to U.S Afrocentric
lecturers for your info on Africa.
CrowdPleeza, point of correction everyone from an African descent has the same culture but different cultural expression or cultural perception called Tradition. It is the tradition that is outdated not the culture because Culture is the consciousness.
CrowdPleeza It is very important to check the correct provider of information. From what I've learned, is that what people will you tell you what they want you to know and continue telling that until you believe it. Just pay a visit to any country, make sure you you come as an African not as an American on European.
apolo kabali , I hear what you are saying, if we look at Africa like our own, we'll be able to make a correct decision. My main concern is Africans from outside of Africa, coming here and fail to conduct themselves as Africans. Maybe I'm hash, hence I stress that point about source of information about intier African . We also need to look at the white supremacy hand book, only then we'll have a better idea and direction.
I strongly believe that Africa does match America in your eyes. Look at the demographics and tell me are African American getting equal opportunities in the corporate world, as airline pilots? ???
How about you go there and see it for yourself, first?? All the things you mention are mostly in the countryside and it's not everybody who practise them!! You'd be surprised at how many Africans despite living in the motherland live the westerner life style!!!
Shout it from the roof tops. AA need to face reality and stop this romaticism about Africa.
Trails and tribulation are in America too. If you love Africa, try your best to stay thru the "storm". If you want things to be like in America, then stay in America!
Red Passion well said
Great video sister. I took both the patriclan and the matriclan test from the African Ancestry DNA test and when I get my results, I will travel to the countries of my ethnic origin. I plan on visiting certain countries in the near future as well.
memyself4ever1 I think the DNA test is something you should take it why can't afford it but don't be surprised at the results. A cousin of mine had her DNA done and it showed I believe nine or 10 African countries in her DNA plus Irish ,Jewish ,and British.
Update: the paternal side of me is from the Akan people of Ghana and the maternal side is from the Temne people of Sierra Leone.
Love your natural presence sista'. Thanks so much for the footage of the country side. I dig where you are coming from on Africans in america's pot of acculturation...
Great loving what she is saying iam currently in Zambia
Ghana is definitely my calling I've never been to Africa before but somehow I have this Ghanaian spirit inside. For me repatriation is a must Jamaica is where I live but Africa is my home
Keep in mind that most Jamaicans are originally from Ghana. Nana on a currency, captain Kwadjo are Ghanaian name. Reading Macus Garvey,'s bio indicates that he was told that his people are the people of the Golden stool. Perhaps you may wanna read about
Peace. I appreciate this wisdom being shared.
Having lived in various areas in different countries, I believe that ppl adapt and learn the area to which they live and/or grow up. It’s simple. To say someone is “ized” is odd. One can be African American grow up in Africa, leave and learn another culture and then leave there to learn another. I hate the notion that ALL black ppl must always be ONE particular way. It’s dumb. Just like ALL white ppl aren’t one way and all Japanese aren’t one way, please stop the whole ONE way is the only way for African descendants to be because frankly, my DNA is blessed WHEREVER I am and it’s great that it can survive ANYWHERE. I love being WHO I am and in the skin I’m in without ppl who haven’t walked ten miles in anyone else’s shoes to tell them what they should or shouldn’t act like based on the SKIN COLOR. Africans and African Americans share much alike and instead of hating and criticizing, we must respect and adore OUR FIGHTS AND LIVES in the motherland and abroad. We connect!
I think I saw you in TANZANIA! Wow keep exploring ! Keep Teaching! Keep Educating! Keep Preaching!
Great video keep that positive uplifting spirit and vibration its contagious and will spread to others..Hotep.
I like your perspective . Very wise and smart young lady. It is what it is
Come to Zambia! Bring more African American entrepreneurs and businessmen! It is easier to push your government from here than when inside America! Think about that and whatsapp me for details!
I am a programmer and I wonder what programming opportunities are in africa
The best comment that I have read on TH-cam in a long time.
Hey am Zambian, and if you good with programming pliz reply
njavwanjavwa namwilanamwila yes Im good I practice everyday. I know python,JavaScript, perl,java
Hotboytrue cool email me,mwapenja@gmail.com. I have something for you
The extent of the desire to return home extends to those of African parents born and raised in the diaspora. We should also help facilitate your homecoming process also.
Im coming in march!Thank u for your words and inspiration!!!
+Azad Shuja Thank you, you will love it there. Enjoy your stay!
well said. "in Africa, you are your own business"
You presented beautifully as you say you need to have a plan to move back to Africa. I was born and raised in the beautiful East Africa Ethiopia in addition to your plan go s in addition to your plan see other part of Africa and than u will have A better sense what Africa look like.i wish everything will go as u wish sister and Go with God
Beautiful Place. Amazing how much it looks like Georgia in July or August . . if you take away the palm trees :) thanks for sharing
+dean brown Thanks brother… every time I come here it reminds me of Florida because of the palm trees
Diaspora Wire Tv *
dean brown we can bring palm trees to the motherland too if they not there already
If you have a mindset to think the traditions & customs of whatever part of the continent you live in then you can make good and live well, but it depends on you. Are you accustom to living the American Dream or do you really want to be apart of something great which is the African culture? The African culture is so creative, brilliant ,innovative, inventive, skillful, artistry, mathematical, philosophers, resourceful etc. there is nothing they can't do.....and if you are apart of that culture then you benefit. I've seen ppl make their life work well in Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Gambia that came from America having little or nothing but yet they are doing well, and they do not miss America at all. You can no longer have a mindset like you did when you lived in America if you want to live well in that great continent. America incarcerates your mind to make you think you cannot do well in the African continent but you CAN. Stay focus and do it.
Thank you sister i love you for being honest. Africa is not a jungle
Thanks for the video. I, like you, have many countries to visit before I decide on 1. I hope to take my first trip by 2019.
Great your Bamileke. They are enterprising. But, America has no hand outs. Citizens pay taxes for those services. The 1950s post-war era is the reason why the country went from entrepreneurs (market people) to employees. I wish people make accurate comparisons. And why be ashamed of being American, even if you choose to integrate into an African culture.
We dont have to be ashamed you are right.
The reality is that both continental and diaspora Africans are Europeanized. We have parallel experiences. Colonization and slavery have created African people who are out of our African minds literally. Having spent a great deal of time in multiple African countries, I can truly say that Africans on the continent are no more African than those in the diaspora.
I really apreciate about what you said and proud of you sister
They tell you how bad Africa is but have you ever ask yourselves if Africa was as bad as they say it is why do they always come here to Africa
Love her natural hair.
Me too
I do too.
Big Jay. moi ausi, love it..
Them lips
Keep in mind that this is just one country in Africa, go next door to Nigeria you could have an entirely different experience, I have been told don't go there unless you know someone because it is not safe to do so.
I am glad this young lady is having a very good time in Ghana.
+spadedz my wife is native Burundian, and she just traveled through Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi and the DRC last month, and yah, each county is drastically different. Some regions are very dangerous for westerners, even though she is native to Burundi and has lived in the Congo before, she hasn't been to Africa for about 15 years, and in-order to make the trip, she had to de-westernize herself, very little make up, no pants, just long skirts and no Jewelry. Even then, she said she stuck out like a sore thumb. She said Kenya was wonderful, very tolerant and multicultural, Burundi was OK, she felt safe there because it was her home country but other than that, not safe for outsiders. Rwanda was very clean, but dangerous, apparently the government is very severe and has tight grip on its population, and the Congo was OK, she has family there, but the region they were in was very very poor, almost no infrastructure such as good roads, running water, electricity etc etc, and once again, not accommodating to outsiders. So yah, even if your black, you're not guaranteed to be welcomed in some parts of Africa, and an individual should travel with due caution.
spadedz please stay in the us
Everyone trying to start a business here in Ghana, You have do engage in massive business development, obviousely if you are new and don't have connections here, like being new in any other country, you have to build your own network, find out about what is required to get on vendor lists for both private and government in order to be able to provide services. Go to PPA website to see what you need to register with them . PPA registration will allow you bid for all govt. Tenders. If you are moving to Ghana, please talk to the right people . We would love to help.
Africans in diaspora are welcomed in Africa. They should come back and contribute to the upliftment of Africa. They can have dual citizenships but their allegiance should change to be African. Chinese diaspora contributed immensely in uplifting China when they returned home. Our glorious mission today is to make Africa great as it was before slavery times. Its only unity of Africans all over the world that we can overcome racism which Africans suffer from caucasians mostly. Unity of Africans starts here in Africa when Africa is United as one country
for everything in life you have to have a plan.
And Ghana has been Europeanized as well. They speak English and have tea like the British. I married an African. Africa is being pounced on by many white nations. I hope it stays as close to African culture as they are. Even though they have lost a lot already.
yep
L Crom we even eat rice and milk like British
Tina Fey The British was not the first to eat rice and milk. especially rice. Rice was raised in the wettest hot nations. India, Africa, Bagledesh, Sri Lanka, china. mainly during Mosoon season. Most of the British culture came from a collection of other cultures. Britain is a young nation. research
L Crom lol if your husband only speak English that means he’s not Ghanaian or even African. And nope bullshit we still think deeply like Africans
L Crom Hahahah
Thank you dear. Soon as I have children in a few years with my African fiancé I'll be relocating TO HOME ❤️🌍✊🏾
I grew up in the West and this seems just like where I was raised.
Yes! Go back home and build your land up. We need more videos like this!
Can you describe some of the actual trials and tribulations African Americans faced in Africa?
manlius wtf are you talking about. 😂😂. What trials and tribulations? If you are in any African city, nobody give af about where you're coming from. Besides you look exactly like them and would get a lot of positive attraction from the locals because of your accent. White people and Chinese go there and don't face 'trials' talkless of a black man person.
thank you so much for doing this!
At about 12minutes 37seconds of this video, the sister said that the transition to Africa isn't an easy one and how many had to go back to America or wherever. Besides, you don't need to live on the continent of Africa originally called the land of Ham-Kemet by the ALMIGHTY CREATOR, to have self-esteem Black Soul Integrity Pride, it is obviously from within.
Many Blacks that are born in Africa and raised have souled out long ago. This Black Israelite Hebrew American woman is clearly lost, and have not studied the Ancient Records.
Very articulate young lady...Your video was very informative and I look forward to more, but could I respectfully ask u to show more sites in Ghana or Cameroon or wherever u may be please...Also u are a very pretty girl with beautiful skin, but would u try to hold the camera farther away from ur face please...Thanks again and I look forward to more of ur videos..
Ohh, nice to know you have Bamileke origin, I am Bamileke!! That's is West cameroon, wonderful people!
+GiZee Gis Yes… I'll be traveling there very soon. Stay tuned for the video.
+Diaspora Wire Tv Ahh that's cool, I might be there this summer or Christmas
As a beginning of rebirth to learning and progress of nations of the dark continent. The first thing to do is as a people and race is the proper name. The European's call our land Africa by their definition sunny hot. We should call our land HAMAIA or HAMAYA BECAUSE IT'S PEOPLE ARE IN THE MAJORITY DECENDENTS OF( HAM). Thus we take back our power over ourselves and to define ourselves in all ways.
And while you are at it give up the evil English language. Start speaking african.
I don't know that is right. When U start go all the way and not half way
European dominance didn't just negatively affect those of us who were forcibly removed from the continent. Colonialism did a colossal job on those who remained, and the negative influences continue today.
Thank you I really loved this video
BRODA FROM GH. LIVIN SOMEWHERE EUROPE, VERY HARD N STRONG IN CHARACTER BUT, JUST DONT KNOW WHY I KEEP SHARIN TEARS WHENEVER I WATCHED THESE SISTAS N BRODAS FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SEA MAKING THIS KINDS OF VIDEOS, AND CANT EXPLAIN IT...WOW
Come live in Ghana sister, we welcome you with open arms.
I say the same thing all the time I tell people there is no jungles just safaris and vast lands
how much money would I need to open a grocery store and buy a house
+sovereign black woman NOT MUCH HONEY
sovereign blackwoman take a leisure trip to where on the continent U want to settle and figure it out yourself. Get acquainted with the locals first. we Africans seem very simple from the outside but can be very complicated when we choose to be. I am a Ghanaian but there are some nice other countries aside from my own. All the best of luck to you
I respect a lot those Americans going to Africa looking for oppunities and a new life meanewhile bringing their values into an other country in order to improve themselves and the community.
You do not know all African Americans and so you cannot say we are all "Europeanized." Honey, we made Europeans and Americans...we are the creators of all mankind...just as you are. Instead, you should title your video..."Some" African Americans are Europeanized. I have the best DNA, and Genetic make up, just as you Black woman...so please do not come out publicly again, against another group of Black people. It is not the way things should be done. We are not enemies.
+PT Witcher We can not help but being Europeanized living in countries shaped by Europeans.
+PT Witcher preach brother but I agree with some of this ladies views most African Americans in America are Europeanized to the core. I agree not all but definitely most IMO. Peace
+PT Witcher your typing English right now??? And you're not Europeonized? ha ha
she is right
she is right
Great video and great info for those of us of the diaspora wanting to experience and repatriate back "HOME".
Thats why we need you beautiful sista to help teach us n break ground like youre doing we luv u
Alot of people don't even realize that Africa is a continent just like America is a continent. Europeanized is kinda backwards as the American continent entails Mexico , Canada, The United States and so forth. But I get what you're saying. I would love to visit Lagos or Johannesburg. Even Monrovia in Liberia ,I have family there. Thought about moving there but I'm 46 with health problems so hopefully my kids or grandchildren can spread my ashes off the Angola coast since that's where my ancestors journey began.
Yes"...the way people treat each other on a social level..." that's the difference here in US; generally, there's little compassion, too many divisions, socially, economically, racially etc.
Can you tell me how do you find work and a place to stay and the commute
let's get in touch
sempre2080@hotmail.com
I've been to Ghana several times and other African countries. There are different regions In certain parts of Africa that have jungles, but are slowly being torn down for development. You can have a beautiful view, but if you have no money it means, NOTHING. Africa is no utopia.....it's an amazing continent with enormous wealth controlled by whites and don't ever forget that.
Africa has been going through years and years of exploitation and hence why it's no utopia because of the after effects of exploitation. But you can't say that it's all controlled by whites, thats not true, the leaders have much more control but just allow whites to build their business on the land
Wow great video
to be honest , you really look like a bamiliké girl. Bamiliké people are the most successful tribe in Cameroon. They make up about 30% of the total population. You will be find over there, they have very rich men, just in case
Lol...your comment gave me a good laugh this morning. look me up on Facebook Aha Thomas.
@@diasporawiretv Are you still in Ghana? I am based in the states and will be in Kenya, my native home, soon. Be my guest I can take you around too.
Very awesome and truthful video. I've been saying this same thing for many years.
Good video good insight..
Only some not all ...
but we will await on the rest to wake up.... blessing's forward to all my American Africans .
Will over come . with love an knowledge each one teach one....
I enjoyed watching your video
You should give yourself some time. Don't over romanticize life anywhere. Especially girls like this who are obviously who are new to the area and excited. She said Africa doesn't have jungles? Of course it does. Some beautiful untrammeled jungles. She is having fun now and in vacation mode. Make another video in a couple years after the glow wears off.
Definitely a romanticized view of Ghana. Ghanaians are leaving the country in droves (relatively speaking), many coming to U.S.A., yet there is less than even a trickle of African Americans just visiting Ghana. There are reasons for that; Ghanaians themselves don't even view their country in the same light as the presenter does.
kweli05 many afro Americans have a highly inaccurate view of history in general. Too many receive their history education from HollyWood race dramas and the even harder to verify hundreds upon hundreds of TH-cam vids of dubious origins and accuracy.
they will be sorry when the come! these are the ones who do not know about white supremacy present and past and not to criticize them, but many Africans in general do not know about our enslave ancestors and the dehumanizing treatment by whites
Jmikey Surely you jest. Europeans outlawed slavery by force, not because they up an realized what they were doing was inhuman and evil, not because of some altruistic reasons. Slavery was bad for business and the white man's life. Black people can be thankful to themselves, particularly Haitians, for providing this wake up call.
kweli05 I 'll have to look back. I may have confused comments with others. I'll get back to you. But in the meantime , I'm the boy. I'm usually correct and fair minded.
Thank you my sister for clarifications about Africa. Am from Uganda and i love all my African pple be it in Diaspora or on the continent itsself. All African Countries have similarities in the way they live and do Business. Like that Man moving with Cows. Also very common in Uganda. People are farmers even here. They sell all sorts of fruits & veggies. But still white especially in South Africa. say mbu if they live Africa we will starve. Yet our families have been living off their lands for centuries before the whites came. Uhmm.
if your origins come from Cameroon then that's where you should move to or buy a land and build your house there. but like every other African you can always travel around. go to Ghana do business and back. go to Europe or America Asia do business and back. you're not glued to one place. this is what the whites have done to African Americans, they have made them believe that they can't go anywhere or they are bound to one place. most importantly development of your home town (in your case Cameroon) is what gets you respect from your own people. your people give you Chief title when you do for your community. they also give headship tittles to females as well.
I’m a Nigerian but, I’m proud of what Ghana is doing. The time to stop talking and start doing the little things like give lands to black people in the diaspora to uplift the life of Africans and black people all over the world is now
What have been the mistakes?
Glad I don’t have that head problem, I’m black I’m American this is where I was born ,this is where I will stay, besides you leave one problem for another, the best side to be on is the side of Love, Don’t make God teach you that!
Beautiful video sister. Still waiting for my African Ancestry results. Peace.
*Why don't African countries each give up a little bit of land so that African Americans and blacks of the diaspora can have our own state?*
they did it in Ghana
Anonymous am African.bi thought so too
Liberia is way too violent and unstable to peacefully relocate there, Not.
not, when did I say any such thing that they should "throw that country away"??? How did you get all of that from me saying that Liberia, AT THIS TIME, is too violent and unstable to relocate to in peace?

It is been long time no see you
They are friendly because they never get tourist there. No one ever visits there and its a novelty to see a foreigner. In the west visitors from foreign lands are so common that we are jaded to them,
Nope you got it wrong brother. You don't need tourist in your neighborhood to be friendly. It is part of the cultural upbringing. The culture in America is not friendly compared to other cultures and you can't debate that. Maybe you can learn something if you decide to travel and broaden your horizon instead of being so fixated. The world is large so explore and purge yourself from ignorance.
hate to lose a beautiful and intelligent women to Africa.......we gon miss you
LOVE THIS VIDEO................
No jungles or huts in Africa? I find that hard to believe.
pforce9 you're kidding? right that's just ignorance and im white ..now in the village yes the poor side Hell visit or Google downtown ghana or Google South Africa now south Africa is like America it's black and white..indian
pforce9 mostly in East Africa .
The safest place for bigots...comment sections on the internet.
Its the European who got us in this mess so we have to work hard to find our way back as long we are in the usa everything is always americanize
Nice video indeed. Thank you for sharing.
It looks like the mosquitoes would be very bad there. They need to pave that road and cut down a lot of those weeds and brush.
In reality anytime you go anywhere outside of whatever country you are from you will have a culture shock when I went to Jamaica it was a culture shock when I went to a European or mostly white country it was still a culture shock. So it would be no different if somebody go to Africa.lol. I say that to say this people shouldn’t say they being European it’s pretty much you are used to where you’re from that’s all. Everyone go through a culture shock when stepping outside of there country. So it’s not just black Americans.
Once your in africa you are free to be you express your african cherish it
Good commentary. Emphasize bringing a business idea back from USA. Do not just move back, we do not have welfare.
