Is it a good decision by AFRICAN countries to offer free citizenship to African Americans?! Are you kidding me?! It is the most INTELLIGENT offer that the "continent" itself could ever make!!! Do you know the amount of knowledge, talent and ability that comes to mother AFRICA with this decision??!! My God!!! ✌️😐
Very good decision it will bring forth good fruits for tomorrow and years to come, thank you Jesus Christ. Lord you are putting your SEPTA out thank you Father, we always ask when will it end but there's is light.
This is very nice and welcoming, but there's the fact of what happened in Sierra Leonne, Hotel Rwanda, and the troubles that have happened. Africa is a splendid, wonderful continent, but it does have a concerning history. Of course, not all of Africa has a bloody past, but are these leaders really after creating a peaceful safer better place for people? If so, good.
Remove South Africa. We are definitely not offering them citizenship. We treat them like we do any other individuals who come legally. We are far from the slave trade route, so we don't owe them anything. No ancestral ties here.
This provides a safe place when needed. Americans/Africans you now have a choice, it should be celebrated and not scoffed at. Africa is going to be great Again!!!
People please don't believe the hype of this story. I can't speak for other African countries, but Ghana I can . The process to obtain citizenship is slow cumbersome and filled with so much red tape It will cause your head to hurt! The last time Ghana gave out the citizenship to 126 people many of those people had been in Ghana for 10 years waiting. Many that are waiting for citizenship in Ghana now are being nickeled and dimed to death with fees and having to return back to immigration offices regularly. There is a bill pending in the Ghanaian Parliament to address some of the issues but it has been pending for over a year now with no end in sight! Many from the diaspora see the year return as nothing but a money grab to use African Americans and African Caribbeans etc. as cash cows. I know of many African Americans who have been in Ghana upwards to 12 years but now have left Ghana and moved to Rwanda which makes residency so much more easy. Research the facts for yourselves.
@@RochelleLangread the title of the video though… The point being made is that it’s VERY MUCH not FREE. The USA doesn’t say they give free citizenship and it’s notorious for not being super easy.
@@MrKavonne Akata is an Igbo term and not every Nigerian uses the word. I haven't even heard it more than twice in my entire life.

I was so pleased to see these initiatives documented in a manner that is objective and accessible to all. I am concerned about the theme of cynicism that runs throughout this initiative -criticizing it as INVESTMENT soliciting that will NOT benefit the local people must be addressed by the respective Governments because - make no mistake Africans in the diaspora and peoples of African heritage at large, I believe all wish Africa well and want to see her RISE!!! As a Jamaican I support the voice of our National Hero Marcus Mosiah Garvey who sid -"Africans UNITE and Africa for Africans " Which simply beckons Africans to take pride in their continent and help it RISE and retake its proper place as the cradle of civilization.
I spent a week or more in Ghana, South Africa, and Zimbabwe and loved all of my visits. The countries are beautiful and full of beautiful people. They are developed as well as many cities in the US and have many of the same amenities. For example, Cape Town South Africa reminded me very much of the Inner Harbour area of Baltimore Md, same types of shopping and restaurants. One thing that I remember and relish the most was the singing and voices of the African people, it warms the heart. The one thing I would caution my brothers and sisters about is you must overcome the cultural shock in some places, some places things are worse than the worse places in the US.
The worse of the worse in Africa cannot be compared to the slums of anywhere in California or liberal run crime ridden cities like Chicago, New York etc
At 3:41 this video has asserted that Kenya announced "consideration" of granting citizenship to black Americans. To date and to my knowledge this "consideration" has not resulted in any recognizable action. I know as I'm currently living here through a residency permit costing about $3,000. In 2018, there is no specific information indicating that Kenya initiated moves to grant residency or citizenship to Africans in the diaspora. However, some relevant points are: Immigrants can apply for permanent residency in Kenya after seven years of legally living and working in the country. Applicants must also reside in Kenya for the three years preceding the application and demonstrate skills, education, and finances that will contribute to the country's overall development. In 2010, Kenya extended voting rights to its estimated 3 million citizens living abroad. It appears that while Kenya has some provisions for immigrants and its diaspora, there is no specific initiative from 2018 to present focused on granting residency or citizenship to Africans in the diaspora.
I wonder how these people will prove their ancestral ties.....it all sounds like bs to me. ......not 1 country in the list has extended a clear path to citizenship. It seems as if they are appealing to the children and grandchildren of people with direct linkages to the various countries .

I was actually in Rwanda in 2020/2021 and a bunch of us Black Americans met with a minister and discussed allowing Blacks from America to apply for citizenship. WE WERE DENIED! They even went on the local television station and kinda laughed about our request and announced on TV that we will have to follow the rules already set up like everyone else. Unless they changed it after I left in 2021, this is a lie about Rwanda
My Spirit is with the continent, but my family doesn't understand why we should reconnect we ith our brother and sisters, on the continent. If I had the expenses to go home, I would.
One day, one day, the African continent will be fully developed and be a great place. It will take decades, but it can be and will be done. No more neocolonialism. Conduct trade and commerce with Africa as equals.
They are still being colonized honey. The resources don't belong to them. China is tricking desperate countries into predatory loans , corrupt leaders, and the USA is spreading its power through imperialism , not with military force but through economic/ cultural power. Oh and the women are being tricked into slavery. The media will tell you it is by choice because it's indentured servitude, but it's slavery when the people you work for. Take your passport and don't have to give it back when you can legally kill the women from African countries and your government will help you cover it up (cough, lebanon cough) other nations are helping Africa stay where it is. The US is helping Mexico and South America stay where it is. That's why the USA only sees North Korea ,Russia and China as its only threats because of nuclear weaponry. 😢 All of these things are sad to know, but it would take like a drastic shift in the world to change any of it
What you talking about? Africa is very developed, I live in Canada and I can tell you that even Toronto is no where near Nairobi in terms of businesses, buildings and infrastructure
I did the DNA testing and discovered I am 41% Nigerian! That was a real wake-up call ancestrally. While I would love to visit, I do wonder about the reception from those who are Native Africans. The harsh reality is, many Africans come to America and are extremely mean to Blacks here. Because of that, it's difficult to imagine going to "their" country and being warmly received.
You are African and not black my beautiful sister. I am Nigerian and welcome you. Pls try to find out what part of Nigeria you are from, it's good to know this. Welcome home sister.
True. It's because they have been taught by their colonizers to avoid us when they come to America. Unfortunately, it's identical to the fear that we have of Africa and the African people. I would post videos during my stay in Rwanda, and instead of my followers, mostly family and friends, could on CAUTION ME TO BE EVERY SO CAREFUL. I told them I felt safer in Africa where the COVID deaths were still in single digits while America was reaching a million deaths. We still have a long way to go before we really see Africans and African Americans as family.
@@ahmedkadiri1127 Yes, I per my DNA results, I have Nigerian ancestors.... and Finland! Apparently, one of the colonizers snatched one of my ancestors because my very dark father had good hair and deep blue eyes and mine are hazel/green and change colors according to my moods.
God bless you. I read his story as well as Redoshi and Matilda McCrear. They were a few of the last known slaves brought over right before slavery ended here in the US. I cried reading all of their stories. ❤️
Excellent video & yes it’s a great decision to welcome people of the diaspora free citizenship to the continent of Africa. It’s working well for me. I’m going on 6 years living in Côté d’Ivoire & I love every waking moment of being here.😃❤️🙌🏾
I’m so happy to see this, African-American enjoying that wonderful feeling you’ll get from being an African citizen. You’re a great people, and now you’re a citizen of a great continent. Please remember your ancestors left it for you. 1❤ from 🇯🇲

I would prefer "honorary citizenship" rather than "free citizenship" It was about time. It is a beautiful initiative for forgiveness and a promise of a greater future to come. The secular dividers of the children of Africa must fear not for humanity is entering a new transformative reality of oneness. It is time for Joseph to come home. Let us learn from the Liberian fiasco and let us overcome poison of divisions that will certainly be distilled soon or later from the same ones. Let us rejoice and welcome our brothers and sisters to our common motherland.
We really deserve honorary citizenship since our ancestors were forced to leave our homeland. We should be able to come home if that's a desire no matter what part of the world our ancestors landed. We have been scattered all over the globe. I am not sure if the movement is about correcting a wrong and truly building a community/bond of the black race. Only God knows the true motive. Bottom line, I am overjoyed that the avenue is available. God bless our people all around the globe. We are a great nation who deserves to be united on the great shores of AFRICA if the heart desires.
...the semantics of connotations are highly important in advertising, so ye "honorary citizenship" would have been far better! But ye, a new era! Wow, you sound really worldly and well read! ...the poisons of division will surely be brewing somewhere! We gotta strengthen up our collective identity I guess? Be well, live long!
So you think "oneness" is people not spreading to other countries but just going back to their ancestors' home and keeping to your own people? Did I miss something?
Thank you for sharing this information. It’s good to know that so many countries in Africa are welcoming black people of African descent back to our ancestral homelands. Asé
Recently completed my African ancestry journey to find out that both my paternal & maternal ancestors 100% hail from 🇨🇲Cameroon & 🇬🇼 Guinea-Bissau. Fingers crossed that one or both countries get added to the list as I would love to have my African citizenship without having to denounce my us birthright. As terrible & as hateful as amerikkka is my lineage helped establish this country so I would never spit on their graves to 100% denounce USA however if Cameroon or GB get added trust me I’m first in line. Love to all my people I hope & pray you get your exit strats in place. Peace & love
America is “hateful and terrible?” Maybe you should take a quick trip to the southern border, and tell ALL the migrants, made up of people from many different countries, including African ones, how they risked life and limb to try to get in. Being born in the US, in this day and age, is hitting the life lottery. That is regardless of color.
My Antennas go up, seeing so many rich, wealthy, and affluent Actors/Entertainers Connect and Obtain Their African Citizenship! Why and What are they all planning and knowing? Is this video enlightenment, and what for?
I wish those countries realized how badly African Americans treat Africans in the US. Offer those free citizenships to black people in carribean and Latin America.
Very appreciative of the useful information. In opposition to the misused terminology. African, then following with (black Americans), as if there is a disconnect between the two. No attribution to our heritage
I want to visit my ancestral homeland of Nigeria and Sierra Leone but on Nigeria website it is asking for all types of information for a visa to visit.
I can hardly express my happiness seeing that something is being done to help the black race. they never should have been kidnapped in the first place and I hope all who decide to return to their native land find happiness in their new dwelling. Thank God for this wonderful blessed gift.
Most were not kidnapped though. It was a Atlantic slave trade. They were sold for trivial things like mirrors, and alcohol by their own people. If you really want reparations you’d be better off asking African countries leaders that were involved in the trade for that money.
@@earth8865 It was the white man who enslaved them and beat them and raped them and worked them to death, sold their children, sold their own children into slavery if the black woman they raped had a child. Yes, they were kidnapped by the evil white man whose cruelty to the other races is criminal. the same God created all the races and they are to be treated equality. Remember what Jesus said, "What you do to the least of these, you do unto me" You just might want to remember that.
@earth8865 this ignorant statement normally takes thing out if context to try and cover a agenda, normally done by white supremacist or self hating black folks.
It is a great idea. Economic opportunity in and of itself is not a bad thing. What you do with it afterwards is the only determinant of what is good and bad. This gives other nations a window into investing into these African nations, it gives the black diaspora a home 1st, 2nd, backup home, etc. It of course can help those African nations as well by enriching the communities. On its face there are no downsides.
Yes, I think that it is a good idea, and I actually do not care what underlying reasons that the people in power may have for inviting us black Americans back to Africa. Until you understand how it feels not to belong anywhere, then you will understand how it feels to belong somewhere.
@@mono1885 “They get to collect tax…”Unless you mean they get jobs in the Taxation Office or are running multi $million corporations, it’ll cost more providing for them than they collect. But it’s citizenship, not residence. The US citizens won’t immigrate into a “developing” economy.
Yes, they will, if they know true history and when they realise that the 'developed' nations are really the pirates whose wealth is from robbing 'resource-rich so called developing nations.@@angusmckenzie9622
It is a great 1st step toward repairing the damage of Slavery and Colonialism. .I live in America and it's a very dangerous time for us here. Having a homeland means Soo much to the Black Americans identity.
@@lamh5265That's because of not being here because of free will or want. Being in the USA was because of force from slavery. Europeans came here because they wanted to ...big difference.
We truly deserve it. For those of us who can afford to contribute to society, it can be done if we have the opportunity. It’s not as easy as you think. Some people have hateful sentiment towards Black Americans. Not understanding how our Ancestors had to endure so much in the United States. I’m proud of my people 🇺🇸, I am proud of my experience traveling worldwide and having opportunities. I would like to explore Kenya, Senegal, and other places.
You will be surprised to learn that the vast majority of Africans do not share the sentiments of those few “haters” you may have been exposed to in the US. Africans know very well what our brothers and sisters and the ancestors went through, and continue to deal with today.
@@notinterested8452 many people are leaving. Just because you don’t know about it doesn’t mean it’s not happening. 3 of my friends are now living in Africa😂
I'm of Gabonese descent on my paternal side. While this is great news for every Black American who has ancestry in these countries, I'm saddened because I doubt that I can ever make it to Gabon to see the country in person. I just wish my daughter was still here physically to see this wonderful news, seeing as how she was interested in knowing her lineage of which, at the time she first asked I didn't know about. I know she would have been ecstatic on finding out, as I was, her African ancestry by way of my father. Maybe one day......
This is awesome... but don't go because someone is telling you to go... go because it's what you want. There's a razor thin edge between supporting cultural and historical identity and promoting mass deportation of a certain color of skin... and completely different ideologies behind those two.
That is so wonderful it is much needed I had a young man tell me I don't know who is a way to get up I told him that he we African descendants of Slaves I'm people keep trying to put the other nation of people with like Mexican I know that there is some slaves were dropped off over there were they talking about pure-bloods Mexican , everybody is of A Nations, black people is of the nation of AFRICA of Continents
It is not only "a good decision by African countries," but it is also long overdue. As long as the African diaspora are not forced to give up their American citizenship, it is the right thing to do. Dual citizenship should also be acceptable in the host country in order to pave the way for the African diaspora returning to their roots. Rescinding the costly visa and the long residency requirement may also be the right policy, given that the African diaspora have a RIGHT to return and reclaim their heritage. This should have been done a long time ago, but it is better late than never. I applaud all the African countries that have at long last decided to do this. Well done.
@@APOLO-oq3ce Well, let me hope so. The African diaspora, who already have their citizenship in their home country, would be aspiring to become citizens of another country in Africa. Therefore, dual citizenship must be acceptable in the host country, without having to relinquish their citizenship in their home countries, in order to become a citizen of their chosen African country. That is what I meant.
Sounds like a great opportunity for Africa, if black Americans with wealth take the plunge, Africa needs to get control of police and govt offices to prevent corruption,
Great subject, but why do you call Nigeria "Manchuria"? (Honest question, I only know about Manchuria in China): - 11:26 "Drawn by an unwavering love for Manchuria's vibrant culture and warm-hearted people, he expresses a keen interest in obtaining Manchurian citizenship in a delightful Fusion of identities, Cerebos desire to connect with Nigeria exemplifies a captivating journey of affinity and appreciation"
Many of us were already here. Most brown skinned Americans are natives to this land. That part of his story is not told. Color has always been a way to control people. Most people in the world are the same. Not the 1%, so let's act like it. Nice info in the video.
Yes this a very important, Symbolic and unified decision for Africa to do embarrassing their people. Finally, it helps African people to unite as one. It helps the mother land to find its place, which has one voice in the world.
Kenya's a very corrupt country, and has always been a Slave to the U.S. and Europe. I always laugh when I see their judges with the 18th century european wigs
Thanks for this wonderful video. Of course it is a very good idea to give our lost brothers and sisters a sense of belonging by welcoming them back to their ancestral home.
Black Americans even if you were to go to these countries to live as a citizen, you would still be a foreigner, they have many languages and customs etc…
Yes, because relationships and kinship are built, not begged and demanded. I can't see any evidence of black americans having built relationships with ANY group of people, unless to beg victimhood and what they're 'owed'.
@@keiseanb1 You mean from the prospect of black americans getting citizenship in African countries? You're damn right I'm 'triggered', I judge by character, and you people are of a nasty character. Nothing personal.
This is why I would never leave America as my home. My ancestors worked hard and if it wasn't for them America wouldn't even exist (as a super power)..I do want to visit Africa one day, but I'm not planning on becoming an African citizen. My American culture is who I am.
Man, I just found out about this. I am trying to repatriate with South Africa, and join up with the EFF and Julius Malina. Can someone point me to a good website or TH-cam channel, so I can get more details on the process?
Hi Guys, AA here - currently living in SA and lived in both Tanzania and kenya as well as Paris , London and Colombia. Virtually all the info in this video is false and poorly if at all researched. Please take it as entertainment and not sound advice and speak to the proper attorneys / immigration when planning your move. Good luck 👍🏽
I watched until I saw that Oprah got her Citizenship than "came back several times". That's not a citizen. That's a tourist. I don't care who you are or what you got in you. If you so something, do it to it's fullest potential. No half measures. The celebrities that got their citizenship there did it to get their "activist card" in the community to counter balance their celebrity status of privilege. Hard time arguing with someone that is a citizen of Africa and has been there.
I was about to move to Ghana 10 years ago at the time my daughter was 11 years old. Someone maybe a Ghanaian told me if I move there (Accra) was very dangerous for American blacks my daughter wouldn't be allow to attend school with Ghanaian children she would have to go to a European developed school. Also this person told me we would risk being kidnapped and their government would not protect us. So I kinda gave up but that was in 2015.
That person is the biggest liar ever, and an enemy of GHANA... Ghana is a free country with better security and easy access to education, most especially Accra. Come to GHANA and experience for yourself
So Africa is gonna forget about the Caribbean ppl? We were actually rebelling against Colonialism before Black Americans. Haiti 🇭🇹 is the 1st independent country! That's messed up if that's the case! The whole Caribbean stood strong and we were not even the majority!🤔
The Ghana citizenship info is incomplete, and therefore, not tototally accurate. Also, none of the approaches to Ghana citizenship are free. Research before pursuing citizenship.
@smoothoperator9845 I'll give an example for Ghana, which is where I live. Right of abode: Ghanaians who lost their citizenship or African Americans (AAs) can pursue this route. However, in the case of AAs, one is supposed to have lived in Ghana for a period of time before applying, fulfill other requirements, and pay application fees. The process is time-consuming. The beauracratic process is waived for people, like Opra, deemed important by the Ghana gov, but most folks go thru a tedious process which may or may not result in citizenship being granted. Although not stated, the video gives the inaccurate impression that U can apply and automatically be granted citizenship in Ghana at no cost. There are African Americans living in Ghana for 20 years who applied for citizenship, and for some unknown reason, they still don't have citizenship. Also, there are couples who applied as a couple, and only one was given citizenship. There are other cases where citizenship was given to people who lived here for a few years or who technically didn't live here but regularly flew in and out. My point is that Ghana citizenship is neither guaranteed to African Americans nor is it free. I don't know bout the other countries, but based on what happens in Ghana, I encourage people to research. Too many African Americans come to Ghana expecting citizenship and leave disillusioned.
It's not free. We have to go there with proof of funds in our accounts. We can't go over there with nothing in our pockets like they can come to the US
Same requirement for us coming to the US/UK. We have to show funds in our accounts too. This is not new. Many countries require this before a visa is granted. Haven’t you travelled before?
@@MogtheMad0422no it points out the bs in this discussion. As a foundation black American 🇺🇸, I don’t need to go find my ancestors or culture when every time I open my eyes I’m surrounded by it/ them. They try to sell wakanda to FBA when we are culturally, ancestrally, centuries away. Don’t fall for the game. Do your research.

I was actually in Rwanda in 2020/2021 and a bunch of us Black Americans met with a minister and discussed allowing Blacks from America to apply for citizenship. WE WERE DENIED! They even went on the local television station and kinda laughed about our request and announced on TV that we will have to follow the rules already set up like everyone else. Unless they changed it after I left in 2021, this is a lie about Rwanda
Generally speaking Rwanda seems to be highly progressive, and innovative in policies and development...?
Thank you for posting this....People on the ground need to share what is happening as far as migration
You weren't denied you were just told to follow the legal process of Their country 😂

They are still being colonized honey. The resources don't belong to them. China is tricking desperate countries into predatory loans , corrupt leaders, and the USA is spreading its power through imperialism , not with military force but through economic/ cultural power. Oh and the women are being tricked into slavery. The media will tell you it is by choice because it's indentured servitude, but it's slavery when the people you work for. Take your passport and don't have to give it back when you can legally kill the women from African countries and your government will help you cover it up (cough, lebanon cough) other nations are helping Africa stay where it is. The US is helping Mexico and South America stay where it is. That's why the USA only sees North Korea ,Russia and China as its only threats because of nuclear weaponry. 😢 All of these things are sad to know, but it would take like a drastic shift in the world to change any of it
What you talking about? Africa is very developed, I live in Canada and I can tell you that even Toronto is no where near Nairobi in terms of businesses, buildings and infrastructure
I did the DNA testing and discovered I am 41% Nigerian! That was a real wake-up call ancestrally. While I would love to visit, I do wonder about the reception from those who are Native Africans. The harsh reality is, many Africans come to America and are extremely mean to Blacks here. Because of that, it's difficult to imagine going to "their" country and being warmly received.
FACTS
You are African and not black my beautiful sister. I am Nigerian and welcome you. Pls try to find out what part of Nigeria you are from, it's good to know this. Welcome home sister.
True. It's because they have been taught by their colonizers to avoid us when they come to America. Unfortunately, it's identical to the fear that we have of Africa and the African people. I would post videos during my stay in Rwanda, and instead of my followers, mostly family and friends, could on CAUTION ME TO BE EVERY SO CAREFUL. I told them I felt safer in Africa where the COVID deaths were still in single digits while America was reaching a million deaths. We still have a long way to go before we really see Africans and African Americans as family.
@@ahmedkadiri1127 Yes, I per my DNA results, I have Nigerian ancestors.... and Finland! Apparently, one of the colonizers snatched one of my ancestors because my very dark father had good hair and deep blue eyes and mine are hazel/green and change colors according to my moods.

I would prefer "honorary citizenship" rather than "free citizenship" It was about time. It is a beautiful initiative for forgiveness and a promise of a greater future to come. The secular dividers of the children of Africa must fear not for humanity is entering a new transformative reality of oneness. It is time for Joseph to come home. Let us learn from the Liberian fiasco and let us overcome poison of divisions that will certainly be distilled soon or later from the same ones. Let us rejoice and welcome our brothers and sisters to our common motherland.
We really deserve honorary citizenship since our ancestors were forced to leave our homeland. We should be able to come home if that's a desire no matter what part of the world our ancestors landed. We have been scattered all over the globe. I am not sure if the movement is about correcting a wrong and truly building a community/bond of the black race. Only God knows the true motive. Bottom line, I am overjoyed that the avenue is available. God bless our people all around the globe. We are a great nation who deserves to be united on the great shores of AFRICA if the heart desires.
...the semantics of connotations are highly important in advertising, so ye "honorary citizenship" would have been far better! But ye, a new era! Wow, you sound really worldly and well read! ...the poisons of division will surely be brewing somewhere! We gotta strengthen up our collective identity I guess? Be well, live long!
So you think "oneness" is people not spreading to other countries but just going back to their ancestors' home and keeping to your own people? Did I miss something?

Fingers crossed that one or both countries get added to the list as I would love to have my African citizenship without having to denounce my us birthright.
As terrible & as hateful as amerikkka is my lineage helped establish this country so I would never spit on their graves to 100% denounce USA however if Cameroon or GB get added trust me I’m first in line.
Love to all my people I hope & pray you get your exit strats in place. Peace & love
America is “hateful and terrible?” Maybe you should take a quick trip to the southern border, and tell ALL the migrants, made up of people from many different countries, including African ones, how they risked life and limb to try to get in. Being born in the US, in this day and age, is hitting the life lottery. That is regardless of color.
Where did you go to find out your ancestors? I need a place to go when Amerikka goes to hell in a hand basket.
I haven’t done my ancestry DNA but from oral tradition and research my family hails from Guinea-Bissau as well
Lucky you. I love Cameroon.
My Antennas go up, seeing so many rich, wealthy, and affluent Actors/Entertainers Connect and Obtain Their African Citizenship! Why and What are they all planning and knowing? Is this video enlightenment, and what for?

I can hardly express my happiness seeing that something is being done to help the black race. they never should have been kidnapped in the first place and I hope all who decide to return to their native land find happiness in their new dwelling. Thank God for this wonderful blessed gift.
Most were not kidnapped though. It was a Atlantic slave trade. They were sold for trivial things like mirrors, and alcohol by their own people. If you really want reparations you’d be better off asking African countries leaders that were involved in the trade for that money.
@@earth8865most were kidnapped. The vast majority of enslaved Africans were captured by white colonizers.
@@earth8865 It was the white man who enslaved them and beat them and raped them and worked them to death, sold their children, sold their own children into slavery if the black woman they raped had a child. Yes, they were kidnapped by the evil white man whose cruelty to the other races is criminal. the same God created all the races and they are to be treated equality.

My ancestry background is Nigerian and Congolese!
It is a great idea. Economic opportunity in and of itself is not a bad thing. What you do with it afterwards is the only determinant of what is good and bad. This gives other nations a window into investing into these African nations, it gives the black diaspora a home 1st, 2nd, backup home, etc. It of course can help those African nations as well by enriching the communities. On its face there are no downsides.
Yes, I think that it is a good idea, and I actually do not care what underlying reasons that the people in power may have for inviting us black Americans back to Africa. Until you understand how it feels not to belong anywhere, then you will understand how it feels to belong somewhere.

How does this work?
This sounds wonderful!
It is not only "a good decision by African countries," but it is also long overdue. As long as the African diaspora are not forced to give up their American citizenship, it is the right thing to do. Dual citizenship should also be acceptable in the host country in order to pave the way for the African diaspora returning to their roots. Rescinding the costly visa and the long residency requirement may also be the right policy, given that the African diaspora have a RIGHT to return and reclaim their heritage. This should have been done a long time ago, but it is better late than never. I applaud all the African countries that have at long last decided to do this. Well done.
I don't think any of those countries are forcing you to give up anything.
@@APOLO-oq3ce Well, let me hope so. The African diaspora, who already have their citizenship in their home country, would be aspiring to become citizens of another country in Africa. Therefore, dual citizenship must be acceptable in the host country, without having to relinquish their citizenship in their home countries, in order to become a citizen of their chosen African country. That is what I meant.
@@APOLO-oq3ce I hope not but thank you for the observation.

I watched until I saw that Oprah got her Citizenship than "came back several times". That's not a citizen. That's a tourist. I don't care who you are or what you got in you. If you so something, do it to it's fullest potential. No half measures. The celebrities that got their citizenship there did it to get their "activist card" in the community to counter balance their celebrity status of privilege. Hard time arguing with someone that is a citizen of Africa and has been there.
They're being evicted outta america fastly like. And don't even know it.
I was about to move to Ghana 10 years ago at the time my daughter was 11 years old. Someone maybe a Ghanaian told me if I move there (Accra) was very dangerous for American blacks my daughter wouldn't be allow to attend school with Ghanaian children she would have to go to a European developed school. Also this person told me we would risk being kidnapped and their government would not protect us. So I kinda gave up but that was in 2015.
That person is the biggest liar ever, and an enemy of GHANA... Ghana is a free country with better security and easy access to education, most especially Accra. Come to GHANA and experience for yourself

The Ghana citizenship info is incomplete, and therefore, not tototally accurate. Also, none of the approaches to Ghana citizenship are free. Research before pursuing citizenship.
Explain with more reasons
@smoothoperator9845 I'll give an example for Ghana, which is where I live. Right of abode: Ghanaians who lost their citizenship or African Americans (AAs) can pursue this route. However, in the case of AAs, one is supposed to have lived in Ghana for a period of time before applying, fulfill other requirements, and pay application fees. The process is time-consuming. The beauracratic process is waived for people, like Opra, deemed important by the Ghana gov, but most folks go thru a tedious process which may or may not result in citizenship being granted. Although not stated, the video gives the inaccurate impression that U can apply and automatically be granted citizenship in Ghana at no cost. There are African Americans living in Ghana for 20 years who applied for citizenship, and for some unknown reason, they still don't have citizenship. Also, there are couples who applied as a couple, and only one was given citizenship. There are other cases where citizenship was given to people who lived here for a few years or who technically didn't live here but regularly flew in and out. My point is that Ghana citizenship is neither guaranteed to African Americans nor is it free. I don't know bout the other countries, but based on what happens in Ghana, I encourage people to research. Too many African Americans come to Ghana expecting citizenship and leave disillusioned.
