Welcome to Jamaica! You and Mr. Bishop are doing a wonderful job. I have major respect for both of you. Continue doing great things like Marcus Garvey and many others.
For the Antigua response that they are not issuing visas to Africans due to recent issues, then be Transparent and do not accept applications from Africa. Instead of takung people's money
The same thing happened to me when I travelled to Kenya and wanted to go to Ghana. Even though I had a Canada passport, the Ghanian embassy did not allow my travel. They said I must go back to my country of residence to get the visa.
They make me ashamed, nothing worse than a man claiming the identity of another people, especially when those people are the ones that enslaved your ancestors!!! Worst place in the Caribbean!!!!
How so? How are they confuse? They know that they have African ancestry. But, they also know that they have European and Taino ancestry as well. Doesn't Dominican Republic have a right to protect it sovereignty? Look at the Bahamas with what they did with the Haitians. We are Dominicans. We identify with our nationality, not the way you look or your skin complexion. By the way, just because you see alot of black people in DR, abroad and on social media... Doesn't mean that all those people are actually Dominicans. There are millions of Haitians, Black Immigrants and descendants of Afro Americans that reside in DR and believe that they are really from Dominican Republic. We are not part of the Sub Saharan African race. We look phenotypically different from y'all. We are part of the Hispanic race. Don't confuse the Haitians, Black Immigrants and descendants of Afro Americans in DR with being actual Dominicans. And yes, I know that Spain brought Africans to DR. Spain brought Africans to every Latin countries in the Americas. But, for some reason y'all consider us to be black. And you know why? Because of the millions of Haitians, Black Immigrants and descendants of Afro Americans that reside in DR. Which by the way, are still going to DR. They outnumber the real black Dominicans in the Dominican Republic. Don't generalize a whole country population as looking like y'all. Y'all don't generalize other latin countries that have Afro Latinos, but y'all do with Dominican Republic. And I gave you the reason why y'all believe that.
Absolutely right! They have nothing because they don't know themselves! They want to be like the people that enslaved them. Soooo stupid in this day and age when black people are waking up and rising!!!
Because of their whites elites ( whit-inos ) ...Colorism is crazy there . Blk american especially need to boycott seriously this country ! They spend too much money there.
@@matlesire8467They feel European, African and Tainos. Not solely African. You need to read about the history that Dominican Republic and Haiti have. Don't talk without knowing, please.
Hey Guys I salute you and your passions.Never thought life is so horrible for blacks in the Carribeans.Not surprise with the worst experience in the Dominican Repunlic. They are living under 100 percent colonial rule.The fact is they are afraid of changes that could come through easy movement of the blacks….but will happen.More cultural interractions Bishop and Wodi Maya thumbs up for your contributions
No unity with Spainsh people don’t like black people and in the Spainsh countries the brown skin ones don’t like the dark skin ones Dr look how much Haitian they kill millions
Born and raised in Haiti , lived 18 years in Canada and I never once in my dreams saw myself in Canada. Therefore I left North America and been living in Africa , Ivory Coast for the last 4 years. Caribbean need visa to enter Ghana , Ivory Coast as well. We are playing the western game against each other.
There are many countries in Africa that carribeans don't need visa, Kenya, Ghana and many others. It's the carribeans playing games. I have met them in US and I there mindset is they think they are better than Africans.... weird mindset!!!
😊Brother Ivory Coast has always a country that is used by the Colonial Pig 🐖 Pigism interfering African policies starting right from their first Uncle Sam/House Negro/Puppet/Brain washed Traitor Houphoit Boigney just as Senegal of Puppet Sangor and now moving towards Ghana 🇬🇭 AKUFO ADDO as his late Father the senior Puppet/Betrayer and In Nigeria 🇳🇬 today you have TINUBU THE DRUG DEALER into Presidential Palace 😊.
The Bishop needs to Learn about Walter Rodney and how the Jamaican government barred him from Jamaica because he was grounding with his brothers and the government felt threatened. neo colonialism is real in the caribbean. Dominican Republic is not friendly to black people. They are cruel to Haitians especially.
Very sad to learn that Dominicans act with such racial prejudice. Africa and the Black race are moving forward. If Dominicans 🇩🇴 continue with that silly mentality, time will put them to shame 🫠
Damian, traveling as a Black person should never be this hard. we are more phucked than i thought . its so depressing and it makes me wanna bawl me eyes out. ugh !
I'm Jamaican and have been to Dominican Republic many years ago but on a European passport. I noticed that the people there were very biased and confused about who they are as a people. I noticed they hated the Haitians, and that was an eye opener for me. Then I saw a video about Iam Marwa being treated badly there. I also heard stories that they keep harassing black people who they perseved to be foreigners in the streets, even black Americans are not spared. My take on this is that it's better to boycott those countries and give them negative criticisms so that less peoples will go there. The peoples of DR are the most confused people in the world, who don't know who they really are 😮
WOW! That's very sad to hear. The DR people need serious awakening. Sounds like the self-hate is deep within themselves. So so sad. I feel sorry for the younger and next generations who will be lost in this world due to their elders ignorance and racist against their own.
It seems non-dominicans, especially black Americans are insanely obsessed with Dominicans 😂 not taking people's madness is why Dominicans are hated. They don't hate their women, they know who and what they are 😅 and don't care for foreigners opinions. This is why the confused black man standing on corners screaming he's the true Hebrew 🤣 hates Dominicans.
I'm a Pacific islander and we are a black nation, I think my people should watch your video's and learn this truth. Thanks man, your doing the right thing we blacks should unit and stand up.
@nesq4101, how come you have no problem with the people that enslaved you and now you saying all Africans sold slaves. Africa is the biggest continent and we know it was the Nigerians that sold slave, sun Sahara didn’t participate, they were victims. And also even if africans sold Africans, those Africans sold had relatives, siblings and parents, who loved them, now you are saying all Africans sold Africans.
@@FredAsaba it's a general statement. No I know everything slave master taught was lies. But definitely the seller isn't coming to liberate. Only one liberating is gonna be the captives
I was thinking of travelling to Dominica Republic during the summer, but after watching this video, I have to change my mind. I can't spend my money in a place where they don't like me base on my colour. I love you both.
@@fredinauto Haitians are actually committing a lot of crimes here, last year a Haitian gang killed a whole family member in the border, kids and the parents, the Dominican government spends around 30% of national budget on Haitians, a Haitian a few days ago killed a Dominican military not because they are poor means they are innocent besides as a Dominican, Dominicans don't really care about black people they got enough problems on their heads.
I hope this serves as a wake up call to us as a Caribbean people. We have grown to distrust our own fellow Caribbean countries, much less our African brothers and sisters. Our leaders have even made it more expensive to travel to other Caribbean countries than it is to travel to the US. We are in dire need of an African consciousness revolution. Much love from St. Lucia
If we send some organized crime to your nation, you wouldn't like it, be careful what you ask for. There's pros and cons to everything and they must be weighed.
My Brothers Joshua Maponga and Wode Maya, as i listened to the experience of you both, my heart is broken. Everything you have said is true. Our people are sleeping. The people cannot look to the political leaders nor to most of the religious leaders for enlightenment. But for those who are conscious enough to search for themselves, will find truth and enlightenment!!! I pray that you both will continue your work that the Almighty has assigned to you and tha you find ways to collaborate and work together to wake up the people out of their slumber!!! I do sense a wind of change is blowing and the gates of hell will not prevail. You gentlemen have a spiritual foundation which is essential for the task. May the Most High, the Creator continue to guide you, your family and give you the strength always. Be not weary! The struggle continues!!!! ALUTA CONTINUA!!! I hope you were able to connect with Mutabaruka at Irie FM Radio!!!❤❤❤
@@timasuna1756Tell them to leave the Haitians alone you know the ones their economy depends with cheap labor,inferior dominican goods and illegaly with the gun trafficking and 🩸 packets tainted with the Beast.Make sure you tell them that
@@timasuna1756 They certainly do care, when the US advisory directed at black travelers came out, they protested, they knew what that mean't for them. Blacks are a growing travel demographic, many non-blacks will also not associate with nations that engage in open discrimination against others.
Trudy It is unfortunate that it's not easy to get to many more countries in the Caribbean because the country I would have loved to see you visit is Haiti because of the black population there but I don't think this is possible for many reasons.
Its like they went back in time. Africans Stolen from the continent would have meet the same way 300 years ago, being moved by their captors. This wasn't by accident
The greatest of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively. Two of you are doing great for the continents , and will be remembered one day
Its time for black peoples the world over to check out the great late Peter Tosh lyrics, " AS LONG AS YOUR A BLACKMAN YOU ARE A AFRICAN". Its time for us as black people to see through divide and rule and come together . Its our time.....BLACK MAN TIME.
Bishop Joshua, we welcome you and are honored to have you here in JA brother 🇯🇲 🇿🇼. It isn’t surprising to hear this about the DR- perhaps it’s fueled the fire for you to sound out about this reality - the Caribbean and even Africa have never completed their decolonization project (government system, education, economy, history etc)- Africans at home and abroad must be prepared to do that hard work to decolonize their minds and all else- it’s affected all of us everywhere - thankfully JA has two way visa free travel to Ghana and a few other African countries (which will be expanded) and direct flights shall soon be a reality.
Because a country exercises its authority and right to regulate immigration they are racist smh how about South Africa and Nigerians killing each other and kicking them out? How about Kenyans and Nigerians killing each other and kicking them our? Smh be careful the lies you spread!!
@@Aace99 despite all that you mentioned in your comment, still that doesn't justify DR illtreating Black people. Maponga is not making up stories, he is simply highlighting a mindset issue that is flawed and needs addressing. Maybe it can be very beneficial for you to start with that mindset shift. The world is changing and try to catch up with the trend.
Its good that you bring this topic to attention.👌🏽 As a black man, I also experienced these situation all around the Americas and Europe. Just 3 weeks ago, 5 of my african band members were denied visa to Brazil after fulfilling all the requirement. We lost all that money & time. Even with all the proofs we have of this embassies scamm, we can't do anything about it since these institutions has immunity. I just can't wait to see Africa unite again, and visa free for all Africans.
I have been invited to my friend’s son wedding in The Dominican Republic and I declined due to how they treat the Haitians and black skin people. I totally agree with the Bishop about them being racist and everything that he is saying.
@@rojamillerover Then move on and leave them alone, you guys always just ignore haitians 😂 those are actual straight up Africans, you're obsessed with tri-racial people being labeled the mono-racial term black 🤣 makes me think you're all obsessed with light skin latinas only.
I promise you we Will continue that treatment towards Haitians which is better treatment than Haitians get from other Haitians in Haití. Haitians are the ones responsible for what is going on in Haiti and the DR refuses to take in Haitians running away from a situation Haitians themselves have created. No apologies
As a black man i know how hard it is to travel and i can resonate with this video deeply...it brings past memories when i was detained in Amsterdams Schipol airport in transit to Canada and then onother occasion i was detained in Ecuador's Quito Airport on transit to Jamaica and on another occasion i was again detained in the USA, Charlotte Airport in transit to JFK and i almost lost my flight and was placed in a room with other foreigners mostly Arabs and we were all going through secondary screening and questioning and they even called my family in NY to confirm if they were expecting me....it was crazy!!! Its ok for Europeans and American Caucasians to travel to Africa and everywhere as they please but if your black from Africa its like they DONT want you in their country and want to find a way to deny you entry by any means necessary! even when you have all documents intact.
@@WODEMAYAyou full of surprise of what happened to him in the Dominican republic cause you don't listen. simple Google search, Dominican republic mejora la Raza. or Google black in Latin America, by professor Louis gate.
@@WODEMAYAayiti re-imagined: the first black sovereign nation. the library of Congress, for example, contains in it's collection Frederick Douglass speech in 1893, from the Chicago worlds fair, one of my favorite quotes from that speech is, he says, Haiti is black, and we have not yet forgiven Haiti for being black. the African union had a conference in France, regarding the right steps to support Haiti. wow
So sad he experienced this disappointment in the Caribbean. A colonised black mind is far more dangerous than a white one. A hundred Marcus Garveys or Bob Marleys cannot change this.
Words in this limited english language cannot express the power and magnitude of you two powerful bien coming together on this island. Love mother Afrika🇯🇲 love brothers
Atleast i know which countries to avoid while traveling, i was in Hong kong and thn Ethiopia and the hospitality i got was so great, and will spread that each time i have a chance.....as a South African 🇿🇦 i will not dare put my foot in countries that still glorify they colonial master, its sickening to see black people doing that especially because they also are not wanted in the countries they glorify
Thank you from Jamaica Joshua Maponga for your great work... They know your works and they putting up a fight to try to restrict your message. Garvey got the same kinds of fight. The struggle is just beginning. The people of the Caribbean will not be truly free to act independently until Africa the motherland is finally free. We the people of the Caribbean have been suppressed and moving backwards for many years. Don’t be fooled by Garvey, Peter Tosh, Bob Marley etc. Most of us are still puppets to the colonial powers. Barbados is one country that is waking up thanks to it great current Prime Minister. Thank you
This movement is the work of our ancestors. They are tired of waiting and said, "you know what, now is the time 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 It meant to happen, glad i am here for it
Much love to the beloved Maponga. This is my kind of African family love his knowledge. I'm from Jamaica and from I was about 5 years old I was always confused why grown black people are wearing a white wig on their head in court or parliament. I was very confused as a little child. Then found out Nigerians do the same. Very sick and sad. I'm 1 that always tell my friends that my wife is going to come from the continent. Tanzania has my heart, but if it wasn't I surely would have love a Xhosa or Zulu wife! Wish to meet more Africans like this wonderful brother 🖤🙌🏽. Wode Maya I'll also note yea on that trip to the USA. U will only find about 5% of black Americans thinking they have any connections to Africa, so yes kindly just let them be.
We are still a broken and confused by our past oppressors people. Most High give us the strength to see through the lies and come our of her. The West's wickedness has become a way of life event for the Most High's people. We must come together. Africa is for Africans. Let's get to it family.
I am Jamaican live in the United Kingdom and I have travel to Dominican Republic for the first time when I was leaving there to come back to the UK they treat me really really bad. I would never travel to that country ever again. Dominican Republic is off list. When I said they they treated me really bad when I was checking in to board my flight swap my shoes the swab of my hand the dog to me when I was bored in the plane come on taught me took me off the plane for the dog to sniff me I was so embarrassed I would never travel to the country again they treated me like I’m a criminal. I was troubling with my partner because she’s she is British and she had a British passport. They never do anything to her. He just because my passport said Jamaican they treated me like a dog in their country. I would never go back to that place very racist Country I’m sorry to say, but the money Republic now.😢 so I understand who my brother from another mother from Africa felt when travelled to Dominican Republic.
Listen to this man speak truth to the power of Africans and Caribbeans working together for trade and prosperity, it saddens me to hear the racism towards their own brothers. Mental slavery is real.
I just like the Rastafarian hat with the image of the great Bob Marley, that Bishop Maponga is wearing and also his Mama Africa t-shirt. Keep up the good work that you two guys are doing awakening Africa and the diaspora about each other ❤🙏🙏
Dear Wode, thank you for sharing this video and the impactful testimony by Bishop. Everything he says resonates with truth. As a person with dark skin in the Dominican Republic, I was apprehended by the military one early morning while going for a jog. Fortunately, having my French passport with me proved to be my savior. Upon seeing it, their leader instructed them to leave me alone, and they departed.
I learnt a lot in this comment section about Dominican Republic we still have to work hard as African we have everything to be proud of the day we stopped giving our natural resources to other people for free they will be forced to respect us because we have everything and we know who we are.
2024 It’s time for changes. Wode Maya, your years of delay trying to get to Jamaica is because it was not the right time. You are there now and what a awesome time. This message needed to be heard across the world.
Jamaica welcomes you, brother Joshua we know the great work you are doing and it's a blessing to have you and Wode here at the same time. I hope Wode feature you more on his platform so that more Jamaicans can know you.
I lived in Canada for over 40 years and I still a Jamaican each day I get home sick. I still feels I don't belong here. I have done quite well for myself financially but I feels out of place. I am getting old but had it not been for my family I would seriously visit a few African countries and think of settling there or move back to Jamaica or some other Black Caribbean Island. I do feels we as Black people need to stick together and stop the fighting. At the end of the day, it is us against everyone who don't look like us.
I'm loving this conversation. I've been expressing and sharing this sentiment from years ago. We African born on the continent of Africa and the diaspora all want to travel to the US 🇺🇸 Canada 🇨🇦 and Europe 🇪🇺. We should be focusing our energy on Africa while utilizing our services in business and educational development. Continent this conversation.
God bless you you should be careful the lies and defamation you spread about countries that's a shame nothing good can come to you and God hates that and those that commit such defamation and lies!! God bless you and all you that do such things God knows all sees all and is all powerful you cannot deceive him!! In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth Amen and Amen!!
@@johndoes2160 let them talk. English speaking Africans and Carribeans are weird to me. These are people that never threw a single punch for their Freedom like we did over 180 years ago and they somehow think they have the Authority and the muscle to tell us who we are because of the language they speak. They're free to say what they want and even more free to never step foot on our land. We don't need them.
Wode maya !! I think you should have a team that will publish some of your discoveries into journals to inform academia... since youtube is somewhat not considered an academic database
Thank you for this video... The only Caribbean leader who seems to understand the African / Caribbean connection is the Bajan ( Barbados ) Prime Minister. Not everyone in the Caribbean are unaware of the pseudo leaders. We know they are gatekeepers for Colonialism. But please keep highlighting.
I thought so until the recent Caricom meeting held in Jamaica to discuss Haiti. She disappointed me BIG TIME... so now, imo, they're all the same... panderers of the west and their agenda..
I’m Dominican and this makes me upset, because I embrace my African roots. It’s not all Dominican that are racist. Not only embrace it but truly live it, pouring libation, divining, spiritual etc.
Please he is not talking about Dominica , which is also a Caribbean nation. He is talking about Dominican Republic, which is a different Island dominated by mixed race people who identify more with their Spanoard ancestors.
I'm ready for the African-Caribbean-Connect lol. Joshua always brings the knowledge "The Caribbean must be the 55th country in Africa." this was deep. Great piece Wode. Great suggestions for integration...African games, cultural exchanges etc. As a Caribbean Woman, I definitely endorse his message of increased trade between the 2 territories. #education #culture #sports #TOURISM #etc #etc #etc
That's dumb. Not only is the Carribean made up of multiple Countries Carribean Nations happen to be very ethnically diverse, especially the Spanish Carribean. At the same time though the Non-Spanish Carribean has a lot of weird energy towards the Spanish Carribean to the point where people from DR and Cuba need visas to travel to other Carribean Countries while they can come freely to ours. We just want other Carribean Nations to stay away from us at this point lol
@@JoseMartinez-bh1ngwe have higher things to concern with than spanish speaking islands. Either with us spiritually or not, either way we will thrive. No hate. All the best
Been to the DR once and I do not EVER want to return...Wode, love you my Brother...Bishop Joshua Maponga is a Great Man, I sincerely hope to work with him one day.
There's a natural mystic flowing....right now. Trus mi. I have been to Ghana and South Africa as a Jamaican searching for some truth because the truth is liberating. The truth of our existence as children of the motherland is liberating but the truth of our power as Jamaicans is truly elevating. Jamaica is so special that the entire world acknowledges us. We need to protect our minds, bodies and souls because we are integral to the existence of this planet. Wi a di good gum that keep it all together and wi need to continue to evolve and rise to our calling. Heavy is the head that wears the crown so wi head hot right now. Nuh worry unu self. Wi a go good.. wi gwine survive it all and continue to " play our part in advancing the welfare of the human race"
Wont say he 'retired' in england as such.... he fell ill and unfortunately passed away unexpectedly at a young age, before being able to go to the Motherland. Simple! Lets not try to put a different spin on it.....
@@carla3881they forgot to mention because of his stance it wasn’t easy for him to move around much less stir up the beehive which he did where every he when, Central America, USA, etc. England who still controlled the colonies had a close eye on his movements.
Brother, as much as you want the Caribbean and Africa to be one, there are major differences to be mindful of and be addressed before people can successfully assimilate. Culturally, we are as different as the east is from the west. There are some similarities, but that is only a part of who we are. Africa is a tribal continent, and within each country, people are divided into tribes to which they are extremely loyal and of which they are very proud. Each tribe has their traditions, nuances, etc. that Caribbean people with their western influence may not ascribe to, and vice-versa. As much as we embrace and respect our African brothers and sisters, we have our own Caribbean culture that is influenced by many ethnicities, and which is what makes us who we are. It is not as simple as breaking down barriers and everyone becomes one. Over the past six months, 6 Afro American women and one black British woman who moved to The Gambia to retire in peace and quiet were murdered. All seven women were single and some were in the process of building their homes. Some had businesses where they employed local Gambians. Each case is separate, yet these women at some point had complained that people were trying to delete them. Some were poisoned, others died under mysterious circumstances, and the last one was murdered 2 weeks ago and her body dumped in a septic pit. There were also others that had passed on before under suspicious circumstances but when 7 died within six months, and these ladies were healthy and conducting their lives normally, that is serious and requires the government to thoroughly investigate each and every case. These mysterious deaths are not just happening in The Gambia alone to diasporan women, there have been reports coming out of Ghana, Kenya, and other African countries where diasporans moved to, purchased land, and tried to settle down, then they mysteriously die or are murdered. They have been robbed, scammed, accused of coming to Africa and taking away land from locals. Some women have been beaten, some r*p*d, and diasporans are seen as ATM machines. These are just some of the horrors facing Afro Americans, Caribbeans, and black British who do not have direct ties in the African countries of their choice. Many have packed up and have left Africa since. Those issues need to be addressed if you truly want our people to come to Africa, because I am sure that if those seven women had any suspicion that their lives would be cut short once they reach Africa, they would not have come. There are several people that I know who were considering Africa as a possible place to move to and who have now changed their minds. Very sad..
Tribalism is what is destroying Africa!! the Europeans love to divide and rule, tribalism has got to disappear for Africa to thrive!! They still worship white skin in Africa and put themselves at the bottom of the pile! That old thinking better stop or we will never be respected by other races!!!
All of the Women whose died Only one was murdered Shakina by Sierra Leoneir🇸🇱 living in the Gambia 🇬🇲 the rest were dead due to health problems let's be clear here yet still Gambia 🇬🇲 is very safer than America and Caribbean... How many Americans died in Columbia and DR in 2023 alone and no one cares but when it comes to Africa continent all hell must break loose and its very sad we must stop forcily accusations propaganda and misleading people however I always says black woman in western world must drop the foolishness western culture with that strong woman attitude unfortunately that would not survive in Africa real talk and reality
Africa is a massive continent with numerous people, ethnic groups and their own complex inter-ethnic relations. To say all black people must be one is garbage ideology. These indigenous people value their land and if they see you as a foreigner even if you're black as night encrouching on it they will kill you. People need to stop being idealists.
You really took time to embellish and twist this story to the point of mixing facts with fantasy, sprinkled with grains of outright fiction. First.. your r*pe mention is a lie! By the way.. in all of the 54 African countries you lumped into one barbarian murder basket, not a single one of them has any specific type of crime targeted at diasporans. Locals also experience those exact types of crimes.. from phone snatching to scams to armed robberies; as long as a perpetrator perceives you as "more well off". The Gambian case is not 7 women in 6 months. It is unfortunate but isolated, and is definately a police investigative issue for which the US embassy is very aware/ involved. Dragging Ghana, Kenya "and other countries" into the mix just to polish up the fantasy of an anti-diaspora crime wave in Africa is a dishonest attempt at stereotyping. I've experienced scams in top European cities including a university campus and never held the EU or Europeans responsible! I just knew where to avoid. So if any crime ever occurred against a diasporan in those other countries you lumped together with demeaning condescension, it is NOT because they are diasporans. Middle class and rich locals also experience similar crimes. People need to do good research before landing themselves in some places.
What Maponga from Zimbabwe is saying also happens in Zimbabwe. The problem he has is that he has never experienced it because he is Zimbabwean. First correct what your own country leadets stand for before you can change the Caribbean. You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
14:12 I’m glad you made reference to the refusal of your visa by Antigua & Barbuda. Without status you can never enter these countries as an ordinary black man
@@matlesire8467these are small islands. 10,000 migrants can overrun our small populations of 50,000-200,000. These islands are not large countries like Africa with millions of people and land borders with each other.
I’m glad to have seen this video , glad to you here brothers . Our people here have been lost yet there are a few who are awaken . Here’s to our future being different .
The Africans should not have sold their own people to the European Christians and Muslim Arabs into slavery. You cannot blame the people of the Caribbean. The African nations should now make a real apology in giving land and compensation for what they did to their own people. The truth is the truth.
Most if not all, Caribbean people do not hold a grudge against our African brothers and sisters for what happened in the past. Neither will we be coerced into it by a narrative injected into our discourse by outsiders. "They" want us to avert our attention away from themselves (Europeans) and heap 400 years of suffering in the West on the heads of our people. I for one, will not do it. 🇯🇲
Go away! Get over yourself! Africans did not travel to Europe to sell anyone. Plus Africa is not a person. Why are you even here? Go listen to your white overlords!
I'm confused!! Here we are, the pot calling kettle black ⚫. Two educated Africans complaining about the Caribbean and their immigration system. Travelling within Africa is almost impossible due to the following reasons: 1 - Travelling to neighbouring African countries requires visas . 2 - The visa prices are ridiculously high. 3 - It's cheaper to fly from Africa to the west than within Africa, due high airline fares and visa cost. 4 - Wodemyma himself have been deported within Africa on several occasions. By no means, I'm saying that the Caribbean is perfect but we are trying. At least we have CARICOM, what does Africa have? You can't live in a glass house and throw stones. Fix your own problems first before coming out and condemning ours. I'n my life experience It's evident that the mothers look after their children's and not the other way around. My experience of travelling across Africa 🌍 haven't been easy either . 🙏
I don’t know what passport you have but my Jamaican passport has given me access to many African countries visa free! I can’t relate to items 1, 2 and 3 in your statement. I’m currently in east Africa!
No African country hates any black man from the diaspora they may hate other tribes because the whiteman made them hate other tribes the way he made Africans carried into slavery hate Africans and the whiteman will use every tactics to achieve this division including lies about Africans selling us to buckra master
@carljohnson3774, if you had listened carefully, you would have noted that, they said African head of States are also guilty of what Caribbean Isles are practicing.
I really wish I could meet and shake this amazing man's hand. Sir you are in Jamaica? You're in Jamdown Land! Bigups to JA🇯🇲 I hope JA treating you with Full Respect & Warm Welcome❤
They just hate that way Dominican Republic is growing there’s so many countries in Africa where you need visa you so African people are so wrong about dr I’m black I’m Dominican and every country got their laws that you gotta respect and respect their culture anywhere you go that’s not the way tourism gonna grow in Jamaica stop hating and work for your country as hard as your talking
Didn't you hear what he said. If Bishop was white, South African he would have been allowed to fly. Malcom X always said it Who made you hate yourself. If you hate yourself, it's invariable that you will hate your reflection or hate those that look like you.
How did this man become a Bishop? From his previous babblings he prefers traditional witchcraft worship to Christianity. He turned that Kenyan woman to traditional worship. My brother you all need to be very careful with this video. Be very careful, please. 😢
You don't know what you are talking about you lost far lost even the history of black PPL although he is Zimbabwe but he lives here in South Africa l understand him perfectly 😊😊
Who sold us into slavery?????? Is it not some african tmwho sold our foreparent, why no one mentioning that, they only taking about the buyers, & not the sellers.
We’re looking for solutions not the same rhetoric that keeps getting repeated. At this point as long as black folk no matter what land mass you’re on , want to have respectful and productive interaction I’m all for it ✊🏿
I'm sad to read this comment it breaks my heart to feel such anger through our black community 💔. I'm from congo 🇨🇩 living in Toronto. We need to love each other and I don't know who sold my people, but I know this I will never never do such horrible things to my own community. Peace and love. I love Jamaica 🇯🇲
Jamaica and Jamaican did the most for Africa and black people what is this two talking about and the real question is what of Africa don for us… don’t be mad a the Jamaican for keeping Africa’s culture alive, and then spreading it back into the world
Maponga is disrespecting the people if you don't agree with other religions that is fine but do not call it pie in the sky or act like Jamaicans do not know about what they want in life because many do and many are very successful. First perfect yourself before you try to give instructions to others whilst also being very offensive.
Finally a comment that I agree with. Not sure why so many of us are acting like we are lost, begging Africa to look at us to give us a so called sense of pride. Jamaicans have never been like that! This man has no manners. He's too comfortable in Jamaica to be disrespecting the people like that while in JA. We don't need ancestor worship. The ancestors are dead and they can't help anybody. The nerve of this guy
Great conversation, just finished watching n listening. Seriously, Africans should come together n especially the leaders who are still under colonialism in their minds and signing deals that suits them. Holy spirit open their spiritual eyes in Jesus mighty name Amen.
This guy is a liar I googled the ethnology of the word Dominican. It means “Pertaining to God” mean that the Dominican people and their works/deeds are dedicated to God.
My love for Caribbean just dwindled immediately. I love Carvey, Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Tosh etc. Let somebody wake them up. Wodemaya and Maponga, God bless you.
Wow! Just wow! Hi again, Wode. This is such a sad story even in today’s climate. I had my Jamaican passport until my early maybe mid twenties. On my first trip to the UK I had my Jamaican passport and green card and I was staying for six months with family. When I arrived at the airport I was told to sit on a chair. All of the other passengers from my flight were ushered through. I later found out that they were calling my uncle in London I guess to verify my plans and duration of stay. Where I was in the airport I couldn’t even hear the intercom to hear them page him. This was my first transatlantic trip so I didn’t know the importance of the experience that I was having. Even traveling between Jamaica and the US I was checked over but I didn’t feel any way out of sorts. But, when I became an American citizen and got my American passport I went back to the UK to visit my uncle again. Just not for as long as the first trip because I was working a proper job. Anyway, there was a stark difference in my treatment compared to flying with a Jamaican passport. I wasn’t asked to step aside. I was actually welcomed. When I arrive back on American soil I’m greeted with a smile and a “welcome home”. I’ll never forget that experience and I don’t want to forget it. It keeps me grounded. It makes me remember who I am. I won’t complain about being an American because if Jamaica did better for its people then many of us would be there building up the country instead of searching for opportunities and prosperity abroad. I constantly hear about how the white man is racist and hates us just for being but our own leaders are still selling us out for their benefit. That’s my perspective of the situation. I pray that you and Trudy and all of the others traveling with you have an uplifting rest of your journey. May God continue to bless you safe travels always. 🌿🌸🦋
I love this I love this reasoning I am a jamaican man that live in London but the truth must speak everything that this man is talking is fact from the first time I went to west Africa I was in love big up the Gambia since the first time I went in 2000 I never looked back my Compound is in the Gambia and by the grace of the almighty God I shall leave London very soon Amen God bless Africa Amen ❤
Thank you for sharing your experience, my solidarity with you, I will never support that country again I. I will not purchase from them again. It is so shameful
LOVE THIS! You both speak TRUTH about the Caribbean and its so called leaders... their dealings and policies as it relates to Africa and her children.... and don't even get me started on the whole visa issue together with the non existence of direct flights. I'm from Trinidad... and we here in the Caribbean, have been indctrinated against any and everything African. The self loathe does exist. Change MUST and WILL occur. Unity and liberation of the minds of African people here in the Caribbean!

Welcome to Jamaica! You and Mr. Bishop are doing a wonderful job. I have major respect for both of you. Continue doing great things like Marcus Garvey and many others.
Definitely not a good experience, but the great thing is that you two finally got to meet. Respect King Maponga 👏🏿

The same thing happened to me when I travelled to Kenya and wanted to go to Ghana. Even though I had a Canada passport, the Ghanian embassy did not allow my travel. They said I must go back to my country of residence to get the visa.
Dominican 🇩🇴 Republik country to avoid racist and confused people..
They make me ashamed, nothing worse than a man claiming the identity of another people, especially when those people are the ones that enslaved your ancestors!!! Worst place in the Caribbean!!!!
All BLK community should boycott this country especially black American who have the most money to spend
for me its a country who does not exist
They have the same evil ideal as European.
How so? How are they confuse? They know that they have African ancestry. But, they also know that they have European and Taino ancestry as well. Doesn't Dominican Republic have a right to protect it sovereignty? Look at the Bahamas with what they did with the Haitians. We are Dominicans. We identify with our nationality, not the way you look or your skin complexion. By the way, just because you see alot of black people in DR, abroad and on social media... Doesn't mean that all those people are actually Dominicans. There are millions of Haitians, Black Immigrants and descendants of Afro Americans that reside in DR and believe that they are really from Dominican Republic. We are not part of the Sub Saharan African race. We look phenotypically different from y'all. We are part of the Hispanic race. Don't confuse the Haitians, Black Immigrants and descendants of Afro Americans in DR with being actual Dominicans. And yes, I know that Spain brought Africans to DR. Spain brought Africans to every Latin countries in the Americas. But, for some reason y'all consider us to be black. And you know why? Because of the millions of Haitians, Black Immigrants and descendants of Afro Americans that reside in DR. Which by the way, are still going to DR. They outnumber the real black Dominicans in the Dominican Republic. Don't generalize a whole country population as looking like y'all. Y'all don't generalize other latin countries that have Afro Latinos, but y'all do with Dominican Republic. And I gave you the reason why y'all believe that.

Welcome to kenya
Wode, this passion the BISHOP speaks off is yet to be realized.
I'm Jamaican and have been to Dominican Republic many years ago but on a European passport. I noticed that the people there were very biased and confused about who they are as a people. I noticed they hated the Haitians, and that was an eye opener for me. Then I saw a video about Iam Marwa being treated badly there. I also heard stories that they keep harassing black people who they perseved to be foreigners in the streets, even black Americans are not spared. My take on this is that it's better to boycott those countries and give them negative criticisms so that less peoples will go there. The peoples of DR are the most confused people in the world, who don't know who they really are 😮
WOW! That's very sad to hear. The DR people need serious awakening. Sounds like the self-hate is deep within themselves. So so sad. I feel sorry for the younger and next generations who will be lost in this world due to their elders ignorance and racist against their own.

I hope this serves as a wake up call to us as a Caribbean people. We have grown to distrust our own fellow Caribbean countries, much less our African brothers and sisters. Our leaders have even made it more expensive to travel to other Caribbean countries than it is to travel to the US. We are in dire need of an African consciousness revolution. Much love from St. Lucia

Bishop Joshua, we welcome you and are honored to have you here in JA brother 🇯🇲 🇿🇼. It isn’t surprising to hear this about the DR- perhaps it’s fueled the fire for you to sound out about this reality - the Caribbean and even Africa have never completed their decolonization project (government system, education, economy, history etc)- Africans at home and abroad must be prepared to do that hard work to decolonize their minds and all else- it’s affected all of us everywhere - thankfully JA has two way visa free travel to Ghana and a few other African countries (which will be expanded) and direct flights shall soon be a reality.
One love and heart!

I was troubling with my partner because she’s she is British and she had a British passport. They never do anything to her.

Dear Wode, thank you for sharing this video and the impactful testimony by Bishop. Everything he says resonates with truth. As a person with dark skin in the Dominican Republic, I was apprehended by the military one early morning while going for a jog. Fortunately, having my French passport with me proved to be my savior. Upon seeing it, their leader instructed them to leave me alone, and they departed.
Wow! Shame on them maan
I learnt a lot in this comment section about Dominican Republic we still have to work hard as African we have everything to be proud of the day we stopped giving our natural resources to other people for free they will be forced to respect us because we have everything and we know who we are.

I’m Dominican and this makes me upset, because I embrace my African roots. It’s not all Dominican that are racist. Not only embrace it but truly live it, pouring libation, divining, spiritual etc.
Please he is not talking about Dominica , which is also a Caribbean nation. He is talking about Dominican Republic, which is a different Island dominated by mixed race people who identify more with their Spanoard ancestors.
Yep they identify with People who don't study dem because they black lol😂 yet they feel dem Latino different no race called Latino 😂
You mean they identify more with their spaniar oppressors 😂😂😂😂...they don't like been called blacks or Africans

I'm ready for the African-Caribbean-Connect lol. Joshua always brings the knowledge "The Caribbean must be the 55th country in Africa." this was deep. Great piece Wode. Great suggestions for integration...African games, cultural exchanges etc. As a Caribbean Woman, I definitely endorse his message of increased trade between the 2 territories. #education #culture #sports #TOURISM #etc #etc #etc
That's dumb. Not only is the Carribean made up of multiple Countries Carribean Nations happen to be very ethnically diverse, especially the Spanish Carribean. At the same time though the Non-Spanish Carribean has a lot of weird energy towards the Spanish Carribean to the point where people from DR and Cuba need visas to travel to other Carribean Countries while they can come freely to ours. We just want other Carribean Nations to stay away from us at this point lol
@@JoseMartinez-bh1ngwe have higher things to concern with than spanish speaking islands. Either with us spiritually or not, either way we will thrive. No hate. All the best
Been to the DR once and I do not EVER want to return...Wode, love you my Brother...Bishop Joshua Maponga is a Great Man, I sincerely hope to work with him one day.
There's a natural mystic flowing....right now. Trus mi. I have been to Ghana and South Africa as a Jamaican searching for some truth because the truth is liberating. The truth of our existence as children of the motherland is liberating but the truth of our power as Jamaicans is truly elevating. Jamaica is so special that the entire world acknowledges us. We need to protect our minds, bodies and souls because we are integral to the existence of this planet. Wi a di good gum that keep it all together and wi need to continue to evolve and rise to our calling. Heavy is the head that wears the crown so wi head hot right now. Nuh worry unu self. Wi a go good.. wi gwine survive it all and continue to " play our part in advancing the welfare of the human race"
Garvey never visited Africa and retired in Britain
I just learned that he never visited Africa
@digitallhm8160 and what do you mean ?
That says a lot
Wont say he 'retired' in england as such.... he fell ill and unfortunately passed away unexpectedly at a young age, before being able to go to the Motherland. Simple! Lets not try to put a different spin on it.....
@@carla3881they forgot to mention because of his stance it wasn’t easy for him to move around much less stir up the beehive which he did where every he when, Central America, USA, etc. England who still controlled the colonies had a close eye on his movements.
I am blown by your conversation with the Bishop. Bishop is just a title , the man is the one that is important.
Maponga still has a limited mindset. Jamaica needs to first focus on making the country great.
Great for who???

Brother, as much as you want the Caribbean and Africa to be one, there are major differences to be mindful of and be addressed before people can successfully assimilate. Culturally, we are as different as the east is from the west. There are some similarities, but that is only a part of who we are. Africa is a tribal continent, and within each country, people are divided into tribes to which they are extremely loyal and of which they are very proud. Each tribe has their traditions, nuances, etc. that Caribbean people with their western influence may not ascribe to, and vice-versa. As much as we embrace and respect our African brothers and sisters, we have our own Caribbean culture that is influenced by many ethnicities, and which is what makes us who we are. It is not as simple as breaking down barriers and everyone becomes one. Over the past six months, 6 Afro American women and one black British woman who moved to The Gambia to retire in peace and quiet were murdered. All seven women were single and some were in the process of building their homes. Some had businesses where they employed local Gambians. Each case is separate, yet these women at some point had complained that people were trying to delete them. Some were poisoned, others died under mysterious circumstances, and the last one was murdered 2 weeks ago and her body dumped in a septic pit. There were also others that had passed on before under suspicious circumstances but when 7 died within six months, and these ladies were healthy and conducting their lives normally, that is serious and requires the government to thoroughly investigate each and every case. These mysterious deaths are not just happening in The Gambia alone to diasporan women, there have been reports coming out of Ghana, Kenya, and other African countries where diasporans moved to, purchased land, and tried to settle down, then they mysteriously die or are murdered. They have been robbed, scammed, accused of coming to Africa and taking away land from locals. Some women have been beaten, some r*p*d, and diasporans are seen as ATM machines. These are just some of the horrors facing Afro Americans, Caribbeans, and black British who do not have direct ties in the African countries of their choice. Many have packed up and have left Africa since. Those issues need to be addressed if you truly want our people to come to Africa, because I am sure that if those seven women had any suspicion that their lives would be cut short once they reach Africa, they would not have come. There are several people that I know who were considering Africa as a possible place to move to and who have now changed their minds. Very sad..
Tribalism is what is destroying Africa!! the Europeans love to divide and rule, tribalism has got to disappear for Africa to thrive!! They still worship white skin in Africa and put themselves at the bottom of the pile! That old thinking better stop or we will never be respected by other races!!!
All of the Women whose died Only one was murdered Shakina by Sierra Leoneir🇸🇱 living in the Gambia 🇬🇲 the rest were dead due to health problems let's be clear here yet still Gambia 🇬🇲 is very safer than America and Caribbean... How many Americans died in Columbia and DR in 2023 alone and no one cares but when it comes to Africa continent all hell must break loose and its very sad we must stop forcily accusations propaganda and misleading people however I always says black woman in western world must drop the foolishness western culture with that strong woman attitude unfortunately that would not survive in Africa real talk and reality
Africa is a massive continent with numerous people, ethnic groups and their own complex inter-ethnic relations. To say all black people must be one is garbage ideology. These indigenous people value their land and if they see you as a foreigner even if you're black as night encrouching on it they will kill you. People need to stop being idealists.
You really took time to embellish and twist this story to the point of mixing facts with fantasy, sprinkled with grains of outright fiction. First.. your r*pe mention is a lie!
By the way.. in all of the 54 African countries you lumped into one barbarian murder basket, not a single one of them has any specific type of crime targeted at diasporans. Locals also experience those exact types of crimes.. from phone snatching to scams to armed robberies; as long as a perpetrator perceives you as "more well off". The Gambian case is not 7 women in 6 months. It is unfortunate but isolated, and is definately a police investigative issue for which the US embassy is very aware/ involved. Dragging Ghana, Kenya "and other countries" into the mix just to polish up the fantasy of an anti-diaspora crime wave in Africa is a dishonest attempt at stereotyping.
I've experienced scams in top European cities including a university campus and never held the EU or Europeans responsible! I just knew where to avoid. So if any crime ever occurred against a diasporan in those other countries you lumped together with demeaning condescension, it is NOT because they are diasporans. Middle class and rich locals also experience similar crimes.
People need to do good research before landing themselves in some places.
Kenyans don't kill foreigners especially those coming to invest. Kindly remove Kenya from that list.
Thank you for coming and sharing. I am ashamed of your troubles 😢. Our Haitian brothers of the Caribbean are treated even worse. We must fix things.
What Maponga from Zimbabwe is saying also happens in Zimbabwe. The problem he has is that he has never experienced it because he is Zimbabwean. First correct what your own country leadets stand for before you can change the Caribbean. You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
14:12 I’m glad you made reference to the refusal of your visa by Antigua & Barbuda. Without status you can never enter these countries as an ordinary black man
Le syndrome du colonisé 😂😂
@@matlesire8467these are small islands. 10,000 migrants can overrun our small populations of 50,000-200,000. These islands are not large countries like Africa with millions of people and land borders with each other.
I’m glad to have seen this video , glad to you here brothers . Our people here have been lost yet there are a few who are awaken . Here’s to our future being different .
The Africans should not have sold their own people to the European Christians and Muslim Arabs into slavery. You cannot blame the people of the Caribbean. The African nations should now make a real apology in giving land and compensation for what they did to their own people. The truth is the truth.
agreed but it wont happen
Most if not all, Caribbean people do not hold a grudge against our African brothers and sisters for what happened in the past. Neither will we be coerced into it by a narrative injected into our discourse by outsiders. "They" want us to avert our attention away from themselves (Europeans) and heap 400 years of suffering in the West on the heads of our people. I for one, will not do it.
🇯🇲
Go away! Get over yourself! Africans did not travel to Europe to sell anyone. Plus Africa is not a person. Why are you even here? Go listen to your white overlords!
I'm confused!! Here we are, the pot calling kettle black ⚫. Two educated Africans complaining about the Caribbean and their immigration system. Travelling within Africa is almost impossible due to the following reasons: 1 - Travelling to neighbouring African countries requires visas .
2 - The visa prices are ridiculously high.
3 - It's cheaper to fly from Africa to the west than within Africa, due high airline fares and visa cost.
4 - Wodemyma himself have been deported within Africa on several occasions.
By no means, I'm saying that the Caribbean is perfect but we are trying. At least we have CARICOM, what does Africa have? You can't live in a glass house and throw stones. Fix your own problems first before coming out and condemning ours. I'n my life experience It's evident that the mothers look after their children's and not the other way around. My experience of travelling across Africa 🌍 haven't been easy either . 🙏
I don’t know what passport you have but my Jamaican passport has given me access to many African countries visa free! I can’t relate to items 1, 2 and 3 in your statement. I’m currently in east Africa!
No African country hates any black man from the diaspora they may hate other tribes because the whiteman made them hate other tribes the way he made Africans carried into slavery hate Africans and the whiteman will use every tactics to achieve this division including lies about Africans selling us to buckra master
@carljohnson3774, if you had listened carefully, you would have noted that, they said African head of States are also guilty of what Caribbean Isles are practicing.
I really wish I could meet and shake this amazing man's hand. Sir you are in Jamaica? You're in Jamdown Land! Bigups to JA🇯🇲 I hope JA treating you with Full Respect & Warm Welcome❤
They just hate that way Dominican Republic is growing there’s so many countries in Africa where you need visa you so African people are so wrong about dr I’m black I’m Dominican and every country got their laws that you gotta respect and respect their culture anywhere you go that’s not the way tourism gonna grow in Jamaica stop hating and work for your country as hard as your talking
Didn't you hear what he said.
If Bishop was white, South African he would have been allowed to fly.
Malcom X always said it Who made you hate yourself. If you hate yourself, it's invariable that you will hate your reflection or hate those that look like you.
How did this man become a Bishop? From his previous babblings he prefers traditional witchcraft worship to Christianity. He turned that Kenyan woman to traditional worship.
My brother you all need to be very careful with this video.
Be very careful, please. 😢
You don't know what you are talking about you lost far lost even the history of black PPL although he is Zimbabwe but he lives here in South Africa l understand him perfectly 😊😊
St**up you lost soul .
This is unbelievable, shocking to hear this.
Who sold us into slavery?????? Is it not some african tmwho sold our foreparent, why no one mentioning that, they only taking about the buyers, & not the sellers.
👌🏽
We’re looking for solutions not the same rhetoric that keeps getting repeated. At this point as long as black folk no matter what land mass you’re on , want to have respectful and productive interaction I’m all for it ✊🏿
I'm sad to read this comment it breaks my heart to feel such anger through our black community 💔. I'm from congo 🇨🇩 living in Toronto. We need to love each other and I don't know who sold my people, but I know this I will never never do such horrible things to my own community. Peace and love. I love Jamaica 🇯🇲
@@DidierBampiliMusicProductionWere there vendors behind 30 million blacks taken into slavery?
No
Jamaica and Jamaican did the most for Africa and black people what is this two talking about and the real question is what of Africa don for us… don’t be mad a the Jamaican for keeping Africa’s culture alive, and then spreading it back into the world
Maponga is disrespecting the people if you don't agree with other religions that is fine but do not call it pie in the sky or act like Jamaicans do not know about what they want in life because many do and many are very successful. First perfect yourself before you try to give instructions to others whilst also being very offensive.
Finally a comment that I agree with. Not sure why so many of us are acting like we are lost, begging Africa to look at us to give us a so called sense of pride. Jamaicans have never been like that! This man has no manners. He's too comfortable in Jamaica to be disrespecting the people like that while in JA. We don't need ancestor worship. The ancestors are dead and they can't help anybody. The nerve of this guy
@@teerich Exactly!
Blue pill or red pill @@teerich
Great conversation, just finished watching n listening. Seriously, Africans should come together n especially the leaders who are still under colonialism in their minds and signing deals that suits them. Holy spirit open their spiritual eyes in Jesus mighty name Amen.
No you got to say no to that Jesus Jesus secretly did way more damage to the so called human race so Jesus no way at all that is serapis
This guy is a liar I googled the ethnology of the word Dominican. It means “Pertaining to God” mean that the Dominican people and their works/deeds are dedicated to God.
In Latin, “Dominicans” is rendered as Dominicanus, which is quite similar to domini canis, or “dog/hound of the Lord.
He was talking about the word Domingo means Sunday but Domingo is also a type of dog. He didn’t lie
Did you hear Domigo?
Keep on doing the good work my two brothers ✊🏿✊🏿🇯🇲
dr maponga joshua and maya wode are kings and great kings for that matter, God bless you for opening our eyes
❤💛💚 ONELOVE 😊
Have been a great listener to mapongas philosophy since wayback and it's always lessons. Big up
It is good for Africans to return to the Caribbean to realise we are all lost and WE NEED EACH OTHER!! ❤️ Africa for the Africans!!
My love for Caribbean just dwindled immediately.
I love Carvey, Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Tosh etc.
Let somebody wake them up.
Wodemaya and Maponga, God bless you.
Wow!!!Stories like this break my ❤ and bring me to 😢. God forever bless him..thank you wode maya for sharing his story. Respect
Meeting Mr.Maponga is on my bucket list this year...
Wow! Just wow! Hi again, Wode. This is such a sad story even in today’s climate.
I had my Jamaican passport until my early maybe mid twenties. On my first trip to the UK I had my Jamaican passport and green card and I was staying for six months with family. When I arrived at the airport I was told to sit on a chair. All of the other passengers from my flight were ushered through. I later found out that they were calling my uncle in London I guess to verify my plans and duration of stay. Where I was in the airport I couldn’t even hear the intercom to hear them page him. This was my first transatlantic trip so I didn’t know the importance of the experience that I was having.
Even traveling between Jamaica and the US I was checked over but I didn’t feel any way out of sorts. But, when I became an American citizen and got my American passport I went back to the UK to visit my uncle again. Just not for as long as the first trip because I was working a proper job. Anyway, there was a stark difference in my treatment compared to flying with a Jamaican passport. I wasn’t asked to step aside. I was actually welcomed. When I arrive back on American soil I’m greeted with a smile and a “welcome home”.
I’ll never forget that experience and I don’t want to forget it. It keeps me grounded. It makes me remember who I am.
I won’t complain about being an American because if Jamaica did better for its people then many of us would be there building up the country instead of searching for opportunities and prosperity abroad.
I constantly hear about how the white man is racist and hates us just for being but our own leaders are still selling us out for their benefit. That’s my perspective of the situation.
I pray that you and Trudy and all of the others traveling with you have an uplifting rest of your journey.
May God continue to bless you safe travels always. 🌿🌸🦋
I love this I love this reasoning I am a jamaican man that live in London but the truth must speak everything that this man is talking is fact from the first time I went to west Africa I was in love big up the Gambia since the first time I went in 2000 I never looked back my Compound is in the Gambia and by the grace of the almighty God I shall leave London very soon Amen God bless Africa Amen ❤
Amazing video! Two great men ...More of this please gentlemen. Maponga is the TRUTH
This was a wonderful video thank you from a woman born in America with a Jamaican passport and living in Nigeria ❤.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Amazing i am also watching from west Africa the Gambia 🇬🇲 city Banjul 🇬🇲 i am Ibrahima Jaiteh
Thank you for sharing your experience, my solidarity with you, I will never support that country again I. I will not purchase from them again. It is so shameful
Amen. Ever. For the rest of eternity 🙌
LOVE THIS! You both speak TRUTH about the Caribbean and its so called leaders... their dealings and policies as it relates to Africa and her children.... and don't even get me started on the whole visa issue together with the non existence of direct flights. I'm from Trinidad... and we here in the Caribbean, have been indctrinated against any and everything African. The self loathe does exist. Change MUST and WILL occur. Unity and liberation of the minds of African people here in the Caribbean!
I pray to one day meet this man. I reached out to him on facebook the one time i visited zim but no luck. I will keep trying.
Maponga you are great and many will fear you especially black people at large. We love listening to the oppressors
Sad for the bad experience my brother I have always love your speech.
Thank you gentlemen,
This a very strong message to the black community
We must come to union
