There is nothing to be proud of Nigeria right now. Kindly take a trip to Ghana and see the mess we are into.
Hello Ivy, I’m aware of your words in your introduction and I appreciate it a lot. Thanks for letting us know the visitors enjoyed every bit of the dance. You know why I’m saying this! So hopefully, we don’t go down the path we did last week; the culture admirers will now be certain and not be judgmental of where we display the dance. I do appreciate your work...
That's very great to see my sisters and brothers looking back. More to come. Greetings to all my brothers and sisters from Suriname, from west Africa. Fawaka ? Fa u da ?
@@caribbeanflower5937 The organiser of the group only told me they were from Suriname. He didn't mention other countries. That's why I only mentioned Suriname.
If that lovely dont have/don't know she have African Ancestors, just look in the mirror!! If u go Surname now, lots of people living/eating as if they never left Africa!💐🥂🍲🌻👏
Most people from Surinam are actually Ghanaians. They were one of the last slave ships to leave the African continent. By the time they arrived in North America, slavery had been banned and so were not allowed to dock and were dumped in Surinam. A lot of them still use African names.
This is so beautiful to see. Our very own brothers and sisters returning back to the motherland. Funny how some of these 'arrivees' might be related to some of us by bloodline. It's crazy. Watching them try dance the Adowa not too successfully is painful cos if they hadn't been taken away they would be doing it much easier hahahaa welcome home guys.
It's interesting that you mention blood lines. Someone who visited Ghana from the U.S. did some DNA Ancestry tests and discovered he has relatives in Ghana. Amazing.
@@IvyProsper Good God! Imagine that! Family that are alive and kicking in Ghana?!!! People he can call family...at home?!! Priceless. Wish I could have seen the look on his face. You just got yourself a new subscriber 😊🇬🇭
she look exactly like my sister and she is a sister to Tony Bafour the formal black star " Nation team " defender and I think Akumaa Mama Zimbey as well .
I know here in The US, people frim Africa, whether it be Ghana or Nigeria, wherever, they look down on AA's...so I have to wonder how they really feel about us, as an American.
Your 1st duty as a blackman from diaspora is to visit Africa. You so not have to live, just visit and call the ignorant talks about who look down on who or who hate who will disappear. Just like Steve Harvey said, you have been lied to for far too long. You will not understand until you visit the continent. It's for your soul, so find it necessary to make the trip to Africa continent.
Hello Ivy, do you know if there are any plans for another event such as the year of return. If so can you let me know please. Also is it possible to have your email address so I may talk to you personally about other matters.
Year of Return 2019, was a one-year commemoration of the 400-year anniversary of the documented ship of enslaved Africans that arrived in Virginia on August 20, 1619. The events that happened between January 1, 2019 - January 5, 2020 were to encourage people to come to Ghana and celebrate the resilience of the African spirit while paying respects to those who were taken from the shores of Africa. Despite the negativity that came through the trans-Atlantic slave trade and subsequent racism experienced by black people, our people have remained resilient. So the events were a way to bring together blacks from the disapora with local Africans to connect together. Like reuniting the global African family. Now the legacy of the Year of Return has led to increased interest in Ghana which is why 2020 launched the Beyond the Return campaign as a follow-up. This is a 10-year initiative. A decade of African Renaissance. Visit the website www.beyondthereturngh.com for more info. Unfortunately because of the pandemic, a lot of activities had been cancelled this year.
I have travelled across this country, years ago and unfortunately didn't document it for TH-cam since I was working on a documentary series. Now that I am working with Year of Return, under Ghana Tourism Authority, I tend to film for my TH-cam when we are on the job. As a result, I'm capturing tourist areas. Once this year is over and I'm nore flexible, I plan to travel more and document more stories.
@@IvyProsper hi. I'm coming to Ghana next spring can you advise I have alot of clothing shoes in good condition that I would like to bring if there is a charity or hospital that would accept them because of I have 23 kilo spare .
I would like to know what makes you tired of the stories? And are you a person whose family was affected by the slave trade? Or do you know where you're from?
@@IvyProsper it not a negative comment.Am just so tired of everything that has a tag of slavery.We just need to develop africa n call every part of the world a home.People just come to africa for the seek of slavery but has no concern over how brain drain linking to slavery has damage africa...........We just celebrate slavery like some tournament but ignore the development aspects of it!
Based on your answer, it's obvious you don't have an understanding as to why people of African ancestry come to African countries to learn about the history of slavery and to see the old buildings that their anscestors were tortured in. Until you can come from a position of empathy, you will always express the same sentiment you did. When it comes to 'brain drain' that should be the responsibility of the African leaders to create policy and incentive that keeps people from leaving. That responsibility shouldn't be placed on someone who comes from abroad seeking to learn the history of what happened to black people hundreds of years ago. There is a lot they learn on the continent that is NEVER taught in history books. Do you know what if feels like to not know where you come from? Do you know what of feels like to have the after effects of slavery/segregation still impact your life today? In Ghana one of the proverbs talks about Sankofa. Going back to your root. If people want to come to Africa to explore their roots, diminishing their experience is the worst way to approach it. We were already divided us as a people, allow those who were taken to come and get some healing. Before talk of moving forward.
@@IvyProsper No bad sentiments please.i understand you very well but we started making slavery stories not today!It about time we must sit up for development.You the diaspora's also has your part to play to enforce and ensure african leaders develops where your ancestors come from(the land is yours too).The world is transforming,new generations are catching up, a time will come, america is never going to be available for black people.
Hi IVY, the people from SURINAM are not from the ASHANTI REGION, they actually originated from KROMANTSIN in the central region. No Ashantis were sent as slaves to SURINAM, that never happened but rather some Ashantis were paid by the dutch to fight alongside them in the SURINAM against slave uprising there
The banking system isn't something that would overhaul because of Year of Return. Trying to open a bank account as a foreigner in Ghana is very challenging. Even locals have challenges with opening bank accounts. It's why the Mobile Money Service from the telecoms continues to grow and dominate.
@@IvyProsper we professional people in the West need to Come Home and change=develop situations. The latest Pan African slogan is.. If you don't see it in Africa, come home and help Build it! Best Regards
@@IvyProsper Legitimate point. However, I am aware that there is a group of West Indians who travel to Ghana annually and have figured out a way to purchase treasury bills. I believe they are based in the USA and bring down groups. I am not sure how they do it but I suspect that something can be done to make Ghana like the African Switzerland when it comes to banking and investments. Of course criminal background checks would be in order. With inexpensive biometrics machines and cooperation in the international banking system criminals and shady government officials could be easily identified. Just something for the Year of the Return committee to think about. Maybe a Year of Investment should be arranged soon.
Ghana is ruled by someone who has vision.Other countries are still ruled by stupid dictators who easily are giving contracts to Asian to exploit our gold and timbers .
As a black American this smells like a tourist scam. There are still no visas on arrival for us. The president of Ghana went to the Caribbean and South America, but not to see us in Black America. The conversation is always attached to one way financial investment. Ghana will not make money on me TWICE.
All hail black Americans it's not like you went to the embassy and you were not given a visa, or is it? In this day and age, where diplomacy is everything, the government of Ghana cannot announce visas on arrival for just black folks in amerikkka. Just like Africans applying for visas to the US, it's no BIG DEAL if you do the same! The same black Americans who complain about governments of African countries not doing anything about black folks in the diaspora, are the same ones touting negativity to others about this initiative. The president of Ghana does not need to visit you in america. If you want to visit you are more than welcome to but if not, no one cares.
@@gynil1992 you must have missed his speech where he specifically said he would have easy visas for the Diaspora. It's easy regardless of trade agreements with America. If an Black American lands in Ghana.......welcome him in.
@@NAKMEEZY You're quite right, bro. But allow me to also say that the continent charges us visa fees too when we natives on the continent visit other countries. We do have some way to go still. Ghana gives visa-on-arrival for all on the continent and has done for a few years now. It's a start. What sometimes you folk don't seem to get about here is that we are still a developing country (and continent predominantly). We very much need more hands on deck in these areas. We're not all as educated and socially highly conscious by western standards or ways of doing things. Generally, when if you've seen an area we are struggling to cater for or haven't done enough for you, please take the stance of 'I need to help improve' this. We don't wont your dollars but we could do with thinkers, change-makers, campaigners, and problem solvers. That's my humble opinion on this.

We also see you as benefiting quite a bit from learning about where you may have originally come from.
Ashante culture is not the Ghanaian culture. Ashante culture is one of many Ghanaian cultures. And what the help is the reason why the Ga are not the obese delaying their culture on their own soil but rather these Asantes who fought the British not to be part of Ghana. Such nonsense. Ghana is NOT Asante tribal property. Neither is it Akan tribal property. This so wrong and so disrespectful towards Ga on their own soil. Will these tribal supremacy Asantes allow any tribe take the fore front of anything on their Asante soil ? How disrespectful.
Your comment is very troubling. It shows extreme tribalism. We are all one people regardless of which tribe. There are so many cultures in Ghana that make the nation. I don't even understand why you made this comment. Nowhere in this video did anyone say that the culture of Asante people represents the whole nation. I am disappointed in your comment.
Lucky Lucky It seems you are not real Ga, and don’t know your history. Accra is made of two distinct tribes, the Akwamu and the Guan(Awutu,Afutu,Breku)people. The word Ga is corrupted word of Guan. They are not different from other Akan tribes which Asante is one of them
There is no diversity in Ghanaian culture. Why always showcasing ashanti culture at the airport, we have the Gas,fantes,Akyem,Nzema and many more,all these group of tribes must also showcase their culture at the airport. This behaviour makes the majority of the ashantes think they are superior than other tribe.
Actually there have been groups that performed Northern Region dance and Ewe and Ga during Year of Return activities. Also keep in mind some of the cultural troops that perform don't always travel all the way to Accra to do the welcome because it is quite a journey.
Benjamin Ansah From your statement it shows very well you are not from the Akan tribe, so why don't you gather your tribesmen and show case at the airport welcoming, it can start with you ,do something to showcase your tribe and stop your sentiment ,from my point of view any cultural group that shows up at the Airport represent Ghanaian culture and heritage ,stop tribalism. It doesn't help nation building
On a serious note......can we STOP the dancing upon arrival......do you see white people dancing for you when you come to their countries??? I know its a huge part of the culture to dance but its not necessary especially for colonialists. (Not referring to the people in this video)
How is this a serious note? Do you know that our office gets calls and emails on a regular basis from people who ASK for this upon arrival? Perhaps you're embarrased by the culture?? Is that correct? Why are you worried about what people are doing in their countries? This isn't for them or about them.

Nobody in the video said they were from the Ashanti Region so I'm not sure why you are making this point.
After the drumming and dancing we need banks to set up seminars and instructions so people can open bank accounts and other savings vehicles.
The banking system isn't something that would overhaul because of Year of Return.
