Love Chimamanda. She’s an elevated individual who articulates her thoughts so clearly, so intelligently. She has brought such awareness about the African continent to the world via her incredible writings and her lectures/ public appearances. Thanks for this Demouchets.
I love the fact that Chimamanda highlighted the opportunity cost of great minds holding back due to the fear of being viciously criticized by "the left"... I think we should get back to listening to one another with kindness. Always assume that you didn't understand clearly and seek clarity instead of instinctively assuming the worst.
I started to listen and watch you guys to you guys about three months ago. I then realize that you both give well rounded answers to the topic covered. Great work guys. 1❤
What Chimamanda said on 14.40 is very true. Most people, except those who are into history don’t really know how dire the lives of African Americans brought into the America were like in the 1800 up till now. African Americans have to do more in educating Africans, especially the youths on these matter. They can hold lectures in secondary schools, universities, cultural centres etc. it is not to encourage animosity, but make us all aware of history so it won’t continue to happen. Set up radio stations in Africa just for discussions with like minded people to bring awareness . We know more about holocaust than our own people history. George Floyd’s dead made me to research more and I was already a graduate for over 20 years. In Nigeria we learn that an average African Americans boy prefers to steal and go to prison. They don’t like to study…. No one tells you they struggle they went through to even be accepted into a classroom in the 1960s; and all that segregation. When you begin to dig down, you begin to find something else bubbling everywhere. There are thieves in every country, but you don’t see the amount of one race being incarcerated like African Americans, especially men. These everlasting injustice doesn’t allow African Americans to really know who they are as a people. The supremacists in America feed them with utter lies about Africa. I have seen posts and videos on social media that Africans don’t like Africans in diaspora, which is a total lie.
"What are we hiding?" When we don't want to change and we already have a "defence" for what shouldn't be, we want to keep it hidden. Truth sets free - for those who want to be free.
I felt it when you guys said you've opted out of reacting to certain happenings; if there's no conviction that some good can come of saying certain things, then perhaps it's best to leave them unsaid. We live in a day & time where/when people tend to want to say things just for the sake of saying them without the slightest bit of constructive intention(s). They be like, "well I said my piece!" Well you've only contributed your unwelcome quota to making the world worse off than you met it with division, sectionalism, sectarianism and sedition. You could easily feed off dark energy by bringing up such topics to drive your numbers up, as deep and violent controversy sells, but you choose not to. Kudos!
2024 will hopefully fix what's happened..big vote coming up which will make or break America..pray that the right person gets selected so that the swamp can be drained and the US can regain its former glory. You guys did a great job on addressing things without mentioning it
Countries are crumbling all over: Poverty, Unemployment, Homelessness, Drugs,Pandemics, Wars and Economic melt downs! Including Nigeria which has been crumbling since since for more than 50 years now!
Great points were highlighted here, but I believe it is important to remain as open minded about about political philosophy. Both the left and the right have their issues that open our awareness. It is true that it is ridiculous to band certain parts of history because the ancestors of the offenders might feel guilt or some responsibility. However, we just lived through several years where medical freedom was being denied many people and they were being coerced to receive an experimental therapy which has proven to be harmful to those who received it. Independent critical thinking is very important at this time in history. What we understand and believe will determine how we proceed to our future.
I will share more about them on our family channel (@lifewithdem) soon. I have new releases coming this year, but here is the link: www.amazon.com/dp/B07DYG866Q?binding=paperback&ref=dbs_m_mng_rwt_sft_tpbk_tkin
Oh my word... love how you think... there is always more than one side of history... Loved that you mentioned about Pocohontas ... These days with social media it somehow seems that we have gone back a few years... trolls and the ones who bully remind me of the ones who throw someone to the lions in a gladiator arena. And then you are get people who seem to be sheep and will jump on any comment and run with it even without fact... reminiscent of how Hitler and lots of dictators are able to gain followers... People have lost the ability to do critical thinking these days
Adage of the African, that the hunter always has a victorious story, but where is the dead carcass??? The same thing with Madagascar the movie , lion king' s setting . Kids were not told that it is an African Island, yes. We live there..yes people live there..
Political discourses is the key to stable politics. When they become diametrically opposed to one another that's not politics it's conflict. Once the dialogue stops so does finding a way that works. Once there, you flip-flop from one extreme to the other, when it should be each side grounds the other keeping the extremists and radicals under close scrutiny. From each extreme you then build social, racial, psychological and economic barriers between each other, and I think the USA is much further along with Canada and Britain not far behind them. Europe through the EU us doing precisely the same thing, look how many EU members are suffering riots and economic crisis, if anyone is reporting it!
💯 This is why we learned at an early age to limit political conversations with strangers in public.Some people are too immature to have conversations with people who think differently than they do.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT I have no idea what you're trying to say there, are you pro or anti discussion? If you believe in limiting it you must be anti? So why the cryptic reply?
There was nothing cryptic about the reply. 💯= agree. Our entire channel is full of conversations. Edited to “add strangers in public”. Disagreeing in a political conversation can lead to violence in certain parts of the U.S.
Every society reaches a peak and starts to decline - the US, Uk, etc. Why? Cost of living creating labour shortage. They begin allowing immigrants, because they can accept minimum wages and live like rats, but what if the immigrant countries becomes better, then they wont have immigrants anymore...that is why the developed countries use all means and instruments to prevent immigrant countries to become better. Shout out to IMF, WorldBank, CNN, BBC etc
Denial of the history of slavery.. in all it's gory details (i mean teaching about lynching in 1960.. knowing slavery had to be at least twoce as bad as those routine lynchings....(what's twice as bad as routine lynchings) then you say "helping teach the African (originally FARMERS IN THEIR OWN LAND) how to farm" (im really happy we have independent afeican education systems.. it'll be fun to see what happens when those educated in Africa go for university in the US..
3:00 Well election time is a very challenging time but people used to have more sense. Leave the election sentiment at the polls and live your life separately
Do not understand estimate yourselves. This is a public platform, your positive impact and willingness to address serious topics may help strengthen movements that may change lives. There are some influential people on theses platforms. 10:47
I don't know much of her but her accent is so clean, I refuse to believe she's Nigerian. She speaks clear and beautiful like the Ghanaian English accent.

Much love! #purposework

You can not separate that, though. When folks show you or tell you who they are, believe them. People are not removed from their opinions.

You better believe she is Nigerian because her name says it all.
This is exactly the stereotype she just condemned. Unbelievable!
Before you know they'll she learned her diction from Ghana..God abeg o🙏
Nigerian accent is different from Ghanian accent. Her accent is clearly Nigerian. Thats not how Ghanian speak. Proudly Nigerian..
You are funny like your comment. Do you even know Nigerian tribes and its history?
