Things Need To Change
Shared!! Stay safe.
Got it wode Maya
Great video, and unfortunately, we will sacrifice our own for the benefit of those who care less about us. That is sadly the African mind. Once you bring out the issues that we have, you are seen as a traitor, yet we do nothing to improve our own relations. It makes absolutely no sense to have so many struggles between African countries. Sad reality, but hiding the truth serves no purpose either. You are the modern day Patrice Lumumba.
Me as Ghanaian leaving in Togo every time crossing the border I always pay money ohhh Africa
You need to visit songwe border (Tanzania crossing to Malawi) on the Malawi side and expose the corruption with the immigration officers there. I almost spend a full day there because I refused to bribe. I had all the documents needed for me to cross to Malawi.was a bad experience coz I had a baby with me plus her documents too .
Thank you Maya for exposing the border corruption.
This is very sad 😢😢😢😢
How could you not know about the border before maya. It will never change.
Thank you 🙏🏿 for exposing Togo
It's not the leaders, rather we the citizens making these struggles.
Our attitude...bad characters..that makes it difficult for the union.
We should citizens from other countries travel across n be doing fraudulent activities 🙄 on the other side 🙄.
People don't travel for your country to the other with bad characters.
Easy guys, Calm down. Borders will still exist in Africa. Africa has 55 independent Countries with Elected Presidents. Each country in Europe, Asia, North America and South America have borders with different rules and regulations in order to get in. All of the countries in the World you Must show some type of documents needed and many you will pay fees to in. For africa all is Needed is investment in these borders like computerized systems for payments, scanning documents, and so forth. Borderless Africa means One Currency, Uniform Constitution and more. Remember Africa with over one Billion people and over 2000 different speaking tongues ( dialects ) Around 10 million people Speak and understand English, But yet we are trying to fight back by using English. Swahili spoken by over 200 Bantu Africans yet we're not promoting it, or Using it enough. Our Swahili Speaking Presidents who are 7 of them yet when they go to the UN they give their speeches in English. And here I am typing in English so, I can connect with Wode Maya Audience. Pamoja sana , Amani Kwa wote.
This man has a heart of a lion!!! I'm from America and he deserves the upmost respect.
I'm Kenyan, One time like 4 years ago I went on a road trip with my friends and ended up at the Tanzanian border at Taveta/Holili. On a whim we decided that we would ask Tanzanian immigration if they can let us pass (We had no passports, only IDs) so we can visit the nearest Tanzanian town get lunch, drink some Tanzanian beers then come back before the day was over. Guess what!? They told us they would let us in with a permit for 8 hours if we leave our car on the Kenyan side and took a Tanzanian rental/Taxi/public transport... Long story short we had one of the craziest 8hrs in a foreign country, we got so wasted we almost got lost on our way back to the Kenyan border. We did not bribe anyone! On our way back even the Kenya immigration officials were surprised, they were like, 'So they let you in just like that?' and we were like, 'yeah, we asked really nicely'. That's the kind of brotherhood/sisterhood that Africa needs.
Things are even better right now in East Africa. West Africa should wake up. It's a shame Togo
@@andresmonicah5792 west Africa is hell of Africa,it's dangerous in the boarders
The East African community is a good example of how open we all should be as Africans.
Love from Tanzania 🇹🇿 karibuni sana ❤️
@@andresmonicah5792 remember uganda entebbe airport how they fired all airport workers due to bribery a few month ago
I have never been to East Africa but from what I have heard its way better than West Africa. At least over there rules means something. In the West nothing is guaranteed with the exception of a few areas. Its a shame.
The Director only assisted, because he knew that you all were recording. It’s impossible that he is unaware of the corruption. Plus, those elder Black American (Ghanaian) women were too strong and they were not going to tolerate that corruption. The day we learn to unite as one, is the day the African globally will be free!
That 2000 cash 50% goes to the Director .
The African Americans brought their American protest mentality with them and it worked.
You are correct. In America we black people have become accustomed to resisting injustice!!
You need to do a documentary in Nigeria, Ikoyi passport office, they make sure you pay a compulsory bride which is more than double the official price for obtaining the passport. If you don't pay this compulsory bribe fee, your passport won't be processed by the immigration officers the strategy they use is to tell you your passport isn't ready yet even if it exceeds the collection date they gave you while others that pay the bribe get theirs before yours
That's why people in the diaspora need to return to the Continent. We are use to the struggle for human and civil rights.
This is an award winning video. I am completely lost for words for your insistence of refusing to pay bribe. Well done Maya.
This disunity is how Europeans colonized and enslaved us.
Indeed it is a winner for me already
he is tired of paying bribes. I go through it when traveling in Africa. Is a nightmare! but they are super nice to most whitesss
Very proud of him. A lot of us usually pay the bribe to avoid wahala and delays.
Yes the Award for best victim player 😄😄😄😄😄😄
Thats what African Americans do !! We fight for whats right. We are passionate people and yes loud but we have your back on a protest hands down!!
Black american sisters had your back bro ! 💜💜💜💜
This is insane! Am so sorry! Africa needs to change! Who will deal with these people?!😮
Hey Sis your Hubby doing just that dealing with those people and exposing them to the World
It needs a revolution that will result in an overthrow of the corrupt ruling establishments with their puppet leaders to be replaced with an Africa First leadership.
True
Kaw mana video to iketo e SM to kokor wang'eyo who they are and we will deal with them. They are putting themselves in bad light not you. Keep up the good work jaber.
Who will deal with these people? You are already doing it by exposing them with evidence.
Y'all are change-makers. The next generation will enjoy free border travels. Thank you so much!
I hope so
U are right my dear
Don’t be deceived bro…
For the French countries,you will cry…
Am an officer but when am entering Togo or Burkina,it’s very frustrating
@Life Archives Nothing is constant. I said the next generation. You wont be around.
It's greedy people and about money I have a 5 year visa for the Gambia but the border agent charged me, my husband was ready to fight the guy.
The public recording corruption is the key to solving all the worlds problems. It keeps people ACCOUNTABLE!
I’m so proud of the ladies, they stood up too..🙏🏾👏
So when Africans enslaved by America come home to Africa we have to come together to continue fighting like we did in the USA! That's not right
This boy from Ghana was sent by God to unite Africa, this boy is undoubtedly the voice of Africa, this boy will surely change the perspective of Africans, Finally, this genius Ghana boy may not know how kenyans love him, go, the unity of Africa is in ur hands. Love from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
He’s a grown man!
@@mylissa2167 married man too
Thank you brother, we need more videos like this. Our people from the diaspora don't need to go through this mess.
I'm from the United States.. What you are doing is very powerful ✨
So many governments in African countries need a Wode Maya... this dude has the charisma of a good politician. People are seperated and he brings them together. Plus, he is truly passionate for a greater Africa.
I commend these African-American women who are now Ghanaian citizens. They began their journey back to Africa for this VERY MOMENT, to stand up to institutional corruption, to be strong and BE the CHANGE we want to see in this world. Thank you, Wode Maya ❤️💫🌍
Yesss ❤❤
Thanks brother for this video don't scary for anything God be with you always
Facts
Maya's facial expressions are just the message Afrikan leaders need. We have failed our own people as a continent
They failed us miserably!
You and the women companions are champions! If no receipts are given, it can only mean one thing - money for their pockets or corruption. I am from Solomon Islands, in the Pacific Ocean, north east of Australia, but I like your videos and love your promotion of Africa for African investors. Keep it up❤️❤️
The Togolesse customs have no shame. I am 53 and I have paid bribes since I started crossing that border at 16
You are not just a content creator but also a generational icon! What you all fought for and risk your lives for at the border will benefit future travellers. Congrats to you all!
Bravo! Bravo! BRO!
All travel TH-camrs should be sharing this video right now !
sure i believe so.
Exactly, very powerful point. Let's all share.
This video really shows the mental slavery and the way hate is embedded into society in which Melanated people reside 😢. As a Jamaican I am touched by Wode Maya’s passion for the Continent of Africa to see SENSE. I truly love the video and how he stood up for what is right. Poverty does not have to give birth to greed and bribery!! If there is free movement then money will be made and each family would live above the poverty line. The same goes for the Caribbean Community and honestly if as Caribbean’s we see unity in the Motherland all would pack there bags and return.😢
Thank you Wode Maya
Africa is just united on social media but in reality it’s not
The question is "WHY DO WE EVEN HAVE BORDERS?"
Good question.... We are basically still in the old days of the colonialism
Facts
I am Nigerian and I was born in Cameroon. When I was traveling from Nigeria to Cameroon I was left out in the cold for hours because I refused to pay money at the border. Thank you for this video
I'm very sorry there are much corruption in my country I hope that one day you can travel in my country without restrictions, I love Nigeria and i wish to marry a beautiful nigeria girl je m'axcuse encore pour ce que vous avez subi
Julie me too ... Cameroon born Nigerian with roots in Ghana, Togo & Benin.
@@zookat You should be made an ambassador with all these roots.
Am a Cameroonian born in Cameroon but when I left Gabon to enter my country of origin,I was ask to pay 10.000frs; I think Cameroon is the most corrupt country in the whole universe.going out of Cameroon you gat to pay, coming in,you have to pay too.
@@ghanabakd1452 😂😂😂
As a Togolese I have to pay babes twice before enter Ghana, first at the border and the second at sogakope. IT is the same situation between all borders in west Africa. This really need to stop now.Government know that but they are not doing anything....
I'm from Togo and I support your video.
This aflao border is a nightmare for both Togoleses and Ghanaians
We need to change the way we do things in Africa so we can achieve the greatness we deserve!
🤣🤣 , Africa need to tear down the slave borders now if not you'll still slave
Great point 👍👏👏
❤️🖤💚👏🏿👏🏿🌍
Thank u Menezy welcome to Kenya brother..
You refused to pay bribes? You are a brave soul
Sure he is Man. am sad today.
@@AppOdellsMULTIMEDIA They were scared because he got a million subscriber. Thieves don't wanna be exposed thats why backed down.
They were messing with the wrong grannies. These grannies have gone through many trials and tribulations from the states. They know their rights and they are persistent. They know how to fight.
I remember telling a bunch of Ghanaians that at some point, Africa will need to draw to own borders and they looked at me crazy.
I'm Jamaican watching from another country. This was infuriating. I tell you though... like them or not you've got to give it to the Americans... they speak up and fight for their rights. That's the main thing I like about Americans. Notice too that these are elderly American women, as one of them pointed out. Can you imagine these women fighting for freedom and equality in America and going back to Africa to have to do the same? Wow! Where does it end?
So embarrassing. I’m so glad the elders stood up to that nonsense.
The Honourable Member of Parliament should be praised for her being Outspoken critic on such a sensitive matter. God bless you Mum , you are true African Mother.
This is so deep. Got me emotional. When? My people when? I call on our generation to fight and put a stop to this.
Big Fan. As a white man who traveled to Togo in April 2022 it was a nightmare for me too. They wanted to take my cameras, they wanted to take my phone. They initially wanted $100 USD to cross into Benin (I was still within my Togolese visa) and they made me sit under a mango tree for 3 hours. I eventually paid $60 and they let me through. When I got to Beninese border control just 100m across the border, they shook their head and rolled their eyes.
I think this has something to do with Togo. It's an authoritarian state, and at this point, they are trying to make money where they can. It happens less in Benin, but it does happen. But the ones that are closed societies tend to be the ones that have higher levels of corruption. I would love to go back, and will, because I love every country, no matter the situation it's in, but this is something peculiarly linked to Togo.
ONE OF MAYA'S MOST POWERFUL VIDEOS YET!!
"EMANCIPATE YOURSELF FROM MENTAL SLAVERY " BOB MARLEY🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
All of this chaos for what is equal to a little over $3.00 US. As an American, let's just say that my 11 year old child gets $20.00 per week for doing chores. That's how little $3.00 is. If they need the money that bad - create systems that will allow for simple and easy transition. AFRICA is the richest contintent on the planet but here they are as if they are not.. They are allowing colonialism to run the place as they bribe people that look like them for $3.00..smh Its time for a change! The speech at the end was really moving! The Queens that stood up for what is right were 🔥🔥🔥!
Woda Maya, I am a Sierra Leonean living in Houston Texas .I have been watching your videos about two years now thanks to my wife who forced me to start watching your videos on ' Changing the Africa narratives". You are the reason why I am now working on investing in my country and working on taking my family to tour the continent very soon.
If African leaders mean business they should 100% support your work..Only God will bless you and your family for the sacrifices you are making to connect us and making us think about going back home. Most of us to be honest had given up..because we are tired of the issues we go through when you go back and tries to do things..The corruption, bad roads, stinky attitudes of those in offices and so much more...
You are a hero for mama Africa and all government officers of every African country if they mean good for their countries in general and mama Africa in particular should embrace you and encourage more youths that are so passionate about uniting all children of mama Africa and changing the narratives of how the world view Africa in a negative light which is why we are treated like nobodies around the world.
Me and my family adore you so much
Thank you Woda Maya🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Please don't give in continue the great work you are doing our hero!
I am moroccan but we have exactly the same by some people ur words make me cry africa can be paradise on earth if we all find our self value and love each other ur doing noble work this is sadly going on all acros africa and just a tiny drop in this sea of of bribery i remember moroccan officers needed to be payed bribe.
brother greetings from morocco 🙏🏼🙏🏿🙏🏽
Greetings my African brother! I get encourage every time I read or meet a Moroccan who believes he or she is African like the rest of us south of your county's border. Yesterday, I was attacked by someone who said he is Morrocan on social media. He didn't believe that we sub Saharan Africans had a history before slavery. In his written word and I quote " You were slaves of other countries or tribal, stop trying to steal other countries history and make your own..." 😆. We are one people regardless of how we look. Africa is a diverse continent! One love my brother and God bless 🙌🙏🏾
Your comment really moved me

@@lol2nicki feel deeply shamed when i hear those stories and my apologies for that im really sorry to hear that he isnt a real moroccan and hes dumbass we the real moroccans dont claim him morocco was part of the mahgreb kingdom part of this kingdom where: senegal,mauritiania,algeria,tunesia
Every die hard moroccan whos a real g knows this and defends this as matter of fact we are one of the few arabic people that will fight u over slandering the dark colour ive been discriminated many times but when a white farmer racist called me the n word or black jokes etc i would fight them and there is more like us we defend all the colours and are proud we are africans morocco geographicaly is just different but we want to be allied with the whole of africa at least starting on the smaller scales and i hope our countries can develop properous trade yes we came from far east but bruh we are so intermingled with all kinds of tribes too by now DNA wise also that we cant call ourselves none africans but we are muslim lighter skinned africans wich a lot of people dont know how to understand they think because they are muslim and or lighter skinned they arent part of africa wich is a very small way of thinking nonetheless
WE ARE AFRICA#AFRICAUNITE👊🏿👊🏾👊🏽👊🏼
@@lol2nick I am married to a Moroccan. She and all her family embrace their Africaness. The people in denial have been deceived by the colonialists and they are also guilty of being intellectually insincere and having some evil in their hearts. Most Moroccans that I know are definitely pro-Africa.
If it was not for bribery ,Mamma Africa would rule the world.
Africa without borders will be richer than any other continent on earth, we can do this...
This what we go through as South Sudan when travelling to Kenya n Uganda 😢😢😢
Am so sorry,we're good pple in kenya i hope this message gets o department of traveling and they're going to do better We one!!!
They ask you for bribes there, or are the restrictions too tough?
So sorry South Sudan. Did not know about this. We love You in Uganda and You should be entering Uganda freely.
I keep saying it we are our own problems not the Europeans. The sooner we realize that we are not competing amongst ourselves but trying to make our continent the giant it should be, the better. Great video Maya thanks for standing up for fellow Africans like yourself.
It is and will *ALWAYS* be the *European* Woman, Man & Child to blame!!! We're simply acting out and acting on their psychological *inhumane* abuses--the damages are already present in our psyche 😫 . With that said, we (Afrikan People 🌎) also *MUST BREAK AWAY* from our own mental enslavement attitudes and behaviors 😩 and begin to *Honor, Respect and Value our own selves* ✊🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿!!!
The bureaucracy and corruption is why we can't progress in our communities/nations. We need something better.
I'm Togolese and I'm so ashamed of their border bribe and attitude. This is unacceptable!!! Togo needs to change on that!! Thank you for exposing the truth brother! Keep up the good fight!
Mon Frere Togolais tu reve trop Vraiment.
I m form cote d ivoire and this in every border not only togo border.
Travelling to Ghana they asked us to pay this same amount in cfa too.
I’m also from Togo 😫😫 They detained me and asked me to pay $110 for Covid test I had told them I had Covid test from Ghana They had no interest in seeing my Covid test results. They just wanted me to pay.
I payed but they never gave me that test 😫🤬 There were so many of those moments throughout my trip, and that was my first time going back after 10 years of being in the US
This happens at most if not all borders in Africa. We should all be ashamed as Africans.
wode maya got arrested in Kanye and got deported from Uganda he didn't behave like that. in fact he hade alot issues from many African countries never behave like that . in fact many African travel to Ghana face the same issue. wode maya is a sell out . he is doing this because he is a french speaking country. he is dividing african people. the same thing happened in Ghana
I was crossing the nigeria/Benin border last February and my family and I were extorted for money by numerous nigerian customs/immigration officers. It was my brother's first time in nigeria. It was disheartening and disgusting.
Honestly, it's nauseating!
Ghanaian immigration at border took all my money.
That would be the worst border in terms of corruption, crossed there at night and it had over 20 checkpoints, each demanding money. No words to describe how that feels like.
@@chrisudoka5420 the entire west Africa immigration is corrupt which includes Ghanaian immigration. Sorry for that.
This man is a great african visionary he should meet people like Julias Malema
These corrupted officers/personnel need to be put on blast and shamed. Enough is enough. If these countries want more tourism, they have to address these corrupt personnel. Fine and fire them.
This is reason why most of our young people are migrating to European countries because they're tired of corruption,violence, poverty,harassment and high unemployment the list is endless ...anyways I salute my brother Wode Maya for his courage and determination because some of us we would have given up a long time 👏🏽👏🏽
Yep because when they establish in other African they harassed them lock up their stores, discriminate call different names. Very hard to bank in fellow African country, police harassment, landlords stealing from tenants that are not from their country. Etc.
Corruption is a water Africans drink. We’re our own problem. How can it be uprooted when the leaders themselves are corrupt.
Corruptions,corruptions and corruption
Couldn’t agree more with this lady. It’s full time black people/Africana stop beating down each other. Keep up the great work Woda!
More love to my American granny’s and aunt’s for their relentless fighting spirits.. Maya great work. Love you 👏👏
Our elders traveling to the Motherland is just beautiful, monumental at the very least! Just amazing, I love it ❤️🖤💚
Love seeing African Americans fighting for their rights even in Africa. Will bever see African women doing this
This situation is horrible and those people needs to be held accountable .
Man the honorable Dzifa has said a mouthful about the mental slavery . It has infected us on both sides of the Atlantic.
It's simple, we need to build an African community for African managed by Africans.
I got goosebumps watching this video. As an African woman I felt every inch of emotion the diaspora ladies in the video carried. Africans together lets change the narrative. Africa to the world.
Those ladies warmed my spirit much love to them they know struggle and took no time to rally round ✊🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️🖤❤️
Am from Guyana 🇬🇾 an am very impressed with you as an advocate fighting the cause for one Africa.I do hope other bloggers from Africa will joined you in fighting for such worthy cause. " One Africa".
Wishing you every success in your endeavours.
I just came.back from Togo. I am Togolese-American. I visited my friends in Benin and in Ghana before coming back to the u.s. Wode Maya, imagine being insulted by Ghanaian border officials while forcing you to give them bribe. That is what I want through after they saw my Togolese identification card. I was very angry. They did this to my mother who is Togolese inside Togo. Yes a Togolese woman went through this inside Togo. The corruption is in Togo is very bad. And so it is in Ghana. I will come back again with hidden camera.
This is such an important issue. Africa will never truly rise until these things are addressed. Keep on fighting✊🏾
Don't mess with elderly aunties from the Diaspora. They have a no nonsense fighting spirit about them. 🥰
Thank you for making “border free” a conversation across the continent! One Africa. 🖤
This guy must be protected 😢 he's great
Indeed this is mental slavery
Eiii Africa
As a Jamaican 🇯🇲 living in the United States 🇺🇸 dreaming of returning to Africa 🌍 I cried watching this video. If you need to make money adopt the process of paying tolls
Go back to Jamaica..that's your homeland...we were everywhere on the planet...
Yeeszz I said the same thing!!! Check for the papers than required a toll! The continent needs the E-zpass system we use here in the US asap!!!!
We Love you Jamaicans🌍💙💙💙✊🏿❤️🖤💚
here.. here.. 😌🙏🏾..👍🏾
Do you know why they created tolls?
Some people talk trash about Black Americans, but look 👀 at God! We change any atmosphere we’re in. And we are formidable, especially our women.
This is one of the core issues why Africans can't truly unite as one because of greed. "United we stand divided we fall."
It is beautiful to see African American women with that strong personality, always standing up. Africa to the WORLD
ONE LOVE from 🇹🇹❤️
That means alot and I appreciate that alot
Yess ❤❤❤
Equally sad, disturbing, disgusting and SHAMEFUL that they erre put in that position of having to “stand up” to the black MEN who should be HELPING AND PROTECTING them as women AND ELDERS…
*were not erre!
That's what they missing, that FBA ENERGY.
I can't help it but cry!!! Africa, why??? Why are we doing this to ourselves?! Why?????💔💔💔💔💔😥😥😥😥😥
It's heartbreaking 💔 ah Africa! Because of these stories, it makes me stuck to going for vac outside Africa .
When that demonic europeanons came to the beautiful Black land of Africa they brought their wicked thieves and evil 😈 ways with bad behavior
@@aryeemeg7617 I know this feeling 💔
It's greed, lack of love and respect for ourselves, lack of principle and integrity.
@@Crabtree1844 yep. A white man will come and enter with no problem
The job of the government is to protect its citizens. I think all countries should have borders so they have a way of tracking who's coming in and out for safety. However, the main problem here is corruption at the border. If you have all the necessary required documents, you should be allowed to pass through easily without someone trying to extort money from you.
Maya God will lengthen your days 🙏
You can't believe as a Nigerian I was on phone with a Ugandan friend talking about the problem of traveling within Africa being so expensive than traveling to some European countries from Africa when I got the notification of this video. This borders is one of our major problem. May God use the present generation to heal Africa 🙏
If any video of yours did not go viral, this one should go viral, and the whole world needs to know about these schemers at these borders in Africa.
Why our brothers and sisters can’t be brave enough to step up and create a one borderless, Africa and a country where we are free and accepting and loving to each other.🤷🏽♀️❤💕🥹
Thank you so much brother for fighting for the motherland. You had the money but chose not to pay. That’s the exact way to stop this corruption. Imagine if every single person there had teamed up and said they’re not going to pay a dime. Sometimes we the citizens are the ones that do encourage bribery and corruption. Stay blessed bro
For the past 2 years now I’ve been going to Togo. I’m from Ghana 🇬🇭 it’s kinda sad to cross the border to do business in togo. I pay people to help me cross the border to Togo 😢 Finally I’ve been able to build some trust in Togo whereby I send money to them out there and they will send me the goods right here in Ghana 🇬🇭
There is no love in Africa if you don’t have money 😫
I feel the pain but when the Western come to our African countries they don't experience all these we treat them as kings and queens why mistreat our own brothers and sisters God forbid
It's sad, my brother. Please, we'd like to have a discussion with you. How do we reach you, please?
This reminds me of the civil rights movement in U.S. but it’s black against black. African Americans know how to protest. So many have died in protest for African Americans to have civil rights in a country we didn’t ask to come to built by our ancestors. If we’re going to be discriminated against in Africa why should we come? It’s so sad. I and so many diaspora want to come home to mother Africa but I hear it so much that “they don’t like us and don’t consider us real African “. The colonizers don’t allow us to forget who we are hence ‘African American’. We are African first. #1AFRIKA❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Keep doing what your doing. I can not wait to come home to Mother Africa. It is a dream of mine. Stay safe on your many journeys. Blessings from America
Most of Africa is corrupt and I have bad experiences first hand, while travelling between the borders of Namibia, Botswana, to Zimbabwe in 2013. God help us !! It's crazy, ridiculous and no country, no nation, no people can move forward if we continue to be corrupt. It hurts the economy ( its development), and it needs to stop!!✋🏼
Stand your ground and elevate the standard of transparency. Don't let this bribing cancer continue. Aya Maya!
This is why we need our African American brothers and sisters to move back. The everyday African is shockingly docile and needs to be woken up. It's time to say enough is enough once and for all to corruption and other self imposed barriers. Those women were fearless - it would be amazing if every single person at the border exhibited the same defiance!
Wode maya never disappoint ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Unfortunately bribe is so high in Africa still today. Sudan is big land for bribe everything works by bribe on our authority.
I was flying Ethiopian airlines with an American friend to Africa and had to spend about 12 hours layover in Addis Ababa. The crazy thing is after arriving at Bole Airport past midnight, I ended up having to spend the night at the airport sleeping on the floor because they would not let me out of the airport without a visa. Getting a visa meant running up and down tracking the officials at that time of night and paying up while my American friend had a free pass with no visa requirements. As Africans, we need to begin realizing that we are our own impediment to our development. Our leaders are mere corrupt puppets that are hell bent on selling all the natural resources for personal gain. It will be a while before any meaningful change comes to the African continent.
See, people go through worse than this at the African borders and the stories are terrible. If you’re here and you want to contribute towards a change, please continue to share this video till something is done. God bless you🙏🏽
Ruth A. O.
We're not europe, there's no reason why we should be borderless. That's partially communist ideology. Even europe is separating now. Why shouldn't african countries be able to manage their borders and control who people move through it?
This same shit happened when I travelled from Ivory Coast to Ghana and my dear, I cried my ass out. We couldn’t cross one city without bribing because they knew I was from the diaspora and also not Ivorian . They warned us but I couldn’t believe the headache we’d went through just to cross the boarder. This must change!!!!!!!!!!
You are very right, Ivorian police are theft.
Sir I am really sorry I am Togolese and I ask forgiveness for what happened I appreciate you very much for the work you do for Africa Ghana and Togo is family 🇬🇭❤️🇹🇬
You guys have to change your mentality, Togo 🇹🇬 border is very bad 👎 😕.

Please keep in mind its not just a "Togo" thing, the other west african ountries do the same thing too. This video just happen to be filmed at their border. Its a much larger problem than just Togo.
That Woman spoke the true true
"We're no better than you, you're no better than us. We're one". This statement really hit me hard. It's so sad to see such things happening between us fellow african brothers. Slavery unfortunately left the form of chains to become mental. This absolutely has to change and instead of blaming governments, let's first start by changing paradigms and mentalities.
Thanks for this video Wode It reminds me of my experience in Togo, but I'm not even African, It's crazy to think YOU and other ECOWAS members have to deal with this. (I still owe you a proper visit by the way!)
That is a bad experience
Thanks for dropping your view @Geography Now
@GeographyNow we are expecting you in Ghana, your friend Noah's home country
Geography Now this is after effects of colonialism. We’re a divided people in Africa
Come to Ghana with the whole squad. Shoot about 10 videos
Some of that FBA ENERGY Is what We Need!!
one time i came to ghana in 2017, my ghana visa was long expired...they took me up into a immigration room and after about one hour of fussing around and threatening to deport me they let me pay $150 to get a new visa...it was funny and fun. i love africa.. there was no meaness or "get on the ground" like they would do in america...my african brrothers are wonderful i want to come back again...its so nice being around them
I’ve been traveling between TOGO & GHANA now and then for more than ten years. Just the thought of crossing the AFLAO border is mentally exhausting. Even with every document at hand, the officers won’t let you pass if you don’t pay!
It drives me crazy and often stops me from wanting to travel between TOGO & GHANA. It’s ridiculous!
how much do they want ?
It’s a replica of all that happens especially in every border of French speaking African countries. When will this nightmare end??
When did we become terribly brainwashed like this to be our own very enemies Africans
Agree, very annoying. I visited Togo few years ago from Nigeria via a bus and it was a nightmare!
@@DiyanosusThracianSanctuary 2000 CFA. It doesn't sound like much, but with only 2000 people crossing those borders every day, that's $2,4M/ year. Where's that money going?! What is it for? What aren't we given any proof of payment?
@@GertKombate its going to pot belly corrupt illiterate officials mf and their slay queens
They didn’t know who they were messing up with now it’s up ⬆️ We need more of these radical videos to expose all evil going on around our continent, then the change will come. You don’t deserve what you’re going through but God allows you to go through that for the rest of Africans to experience change. Change is near, and you’re bringing that change. Love you man 🤟🏿✌🏿
Togo don’t know they are dealing with AA’s, they are going to get it.
Watching this breaks my heart. We were supposed to be free in our own country. Things need to be changed!
Thank you soooooo much WADE MAYA, you are a GOD sent to all black people all over the world. I really appreciate you WODA MAYA, proudly Nigerian 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
