nesnetgh they were all great.. there are some episodes Ghanaians did good but Nigerians not really.. like the one with Alfred bannerman... and there are episodes Nigerians did great too.. choose who you want but don’t make it look like the Ghanaians weren’t amazing
@@mozayn9817 I never said Ghanaians were not good but from the videos I saw..which are not all I can say Nigerian did well. That was my opinion. You are entitled to yours but don't put words in my mouth
The Gold Coast had really high level of education back then. No wonder Robert Mugabe schooled there and married a Ghanaian lady.. Sally who was also highly educated.
It would have been good if the white South Africans educated their self as well instead of brainwashed every white all their lives to treat the blacks like rubbish ,band 2 can you really believe how evil is that?
Yes we're very proud with our clothes and culture is everything. Now many are not white nor black, we can't speak our language well and can't speak English well, in between.
The Ghanaian said he was surprised that American students know very little about other countries. Unfortunately, this is still true. Many Americans still know very little about other countries.
Keep focus in your area of study, and keep soaring higher. For beyond the sky is your limit. I want you to emulate grandpaa Kiddie as you were christened after him.(Wentworth)
@Moses Kwabena SarpWhy...? E' dey pain you? See, if your grandfather couldn't or didn't leave you and your other siblings any Legacy/Heritage, then better go look for him in the Cemetery and fight. Stop the jealousy on my boy who is named after his grandfather and be in your lane on case you have lost track.
every country is blessed with good students.. the creator never created good students and dump them in one place or another... growing up we run around thinking indians are intelligent.. tell that to the chinese... worked in india and met my fair share of dumb indians.. 1.3 billion people you're likely to find maybe 50million smart ones . logic logic
I'm impressed by my native Ghanaian young man great and articulate topic..The South African white woman lives in a complete world as it was then... well things has changed thank God for that.
It’s all respect for the submissions of Ghana’s representative... these youngsters were very brilliant for the ages. We have to bring some seriousness back into our youth.

That's why I'm baffled at its current state absolute and total failure due to poor planning and corruption by our leaders! We should have been one of the powerful nations in the world.
@@asaasare220 we are definitely not there bro but compared to many African countries we are still the best. It's everyone responsibility to remind everyone how we thought critically in the olden days. Critical thinking is first ingredient in any successful nation building.
@@worldformatics constructive criticism was never a ghanaian strong point... and what are u doing that keeping on cheering on inspite of blatant foolishness and backwardness
They were all privately educated in the few schools they had at the time. Given the limited school places and fierce competition, they only took the best of very best. These Ghanaians are a fine testament to the educational system then, strong emphasis on self governance.
It's both I don't think the guy is from a poor background. from the interview he said there was no public schools its only private n u have to pay 200 dollars n the lucky ones get the chance as a result of government scholarships
The host wasn’t much interested in what the Gold Coaster had to say. She tended to cut him short and quickly side swept him to talk to the Australian. Her biases were very clear.
very good observation, i presume he was just tolerated in.the debate or discussion to bring diversity. The Ghanaian brings out the social perspectives of inequality.
I got that impression at first but not all the way through. I think that the host wanted to establish points with the other guests first and that's why she was being short in the beginning. I've seen other episodes where that behavior was not repeated so I presume this was a special case.
On the inequality of opportunities in education in America, the students from Australia and Gold Coast (Now Ghana) nailed it. Nearly 70 years since the debate, nothing has changed in America. Very shameful.
Yes. Happy Independence Day! I was in Accra last year for the celebration (watched it on TV, though). I really enjoyed my 10-month stay (even with lockdown, flight cancellation, borders closed). 🇬🇭
So Far, about this exchange students debate show, is very interesting, and that Filipino's, Nigerians, Ghanians are not only speaking the truths, but really with sense, with intellect,and they really listen well. Their level of reasoning is rare now a days .. We need shows like this...Kids now a days needs to learn how to speak with essence,with sense.
Second this! I grew up in the states and studied at uni in Australia - nice to see this kid commenting on the objectivity of American education. Aussie education very underrated
Many African intellectuals around the globe were assasinated right after the independence of Ghana to send a strong message . Sorry to say Africa sees Ghana as a small country but only if they had acknowledged it's might , things would've been different for all of us ✊🏿
@Kokuvi Tsikata 🤣🤣🤣yes me and my family because I live in Ghana or was born there.My parents are from there and whenever I visits I see from your news how dependant you are of the western world.

For a bunch of 17 year-olds that grew up never interacting with black people, they seemed very sure about how the black population wanted to be governed
You are very right however,even if they didn't agree with apartheid, they had no choice but to support it on screen. (I'm not defending them, they probably did or didn't) There was no excuse for apartheid, that's for sure.Thats why none of them could make it make sense.
They were brainwashed, but that’s no excuse. The poverty and violence black people suffered was right in front of their eyes. By the time they were 17 they must have known of the injustice and formed their own opinions of the system. It’s clear that that opinion was of the systems support.
It is sad that the Ghanaian brother, if still alive would be disappointed at the state of things in Africa. We have continued to live in hope as if it is a reality at hand. It is difficult to defend the state of African countries after their independence. Africa is her problem not the West. We no better in pre-colonial era.
Africa has not had any significant change after colonisation. After all, we are still colonised because the western world keeps interfering in our system and also keep sponsoring us
@@opnspa55 because we let them interfere. We have leaders who negotiate trades and govern the continent as their private business. I don't believe we are that less humans and stupid to blame the west for our failings. I ain't thinking that shit again Bro.
Listen on @ 16 minutes onwards , in spite of being talked down Kitty gets a chance to express very important points about the future of Africa and its potential economic power🧐
As Jamaican, I'm very proud of this guy from Gold Coast now Ghana. Very smart and intelligent guy. American youth are very ignorant, they don't know anything about what going around the world, that's why most of them says Africa is a country not a continent... long live mama AFRICA. Babylon is failing down 🇬🇭🌍🤜🏿🤛🏿✊🏿
The teacher likes to try and talk over and belittle the Aussie and Ghana guys. Both boys seem more knowledgeable and less brain washed then the teacher.
I cannot keep my eyes off the moderator, lol...see how she keeps looking at them and smiling, I wonder what she is thinking. She cannot believe what she's hearing from the young South African. Word Up to my Ghanaian brother and the young Ausie for their patience.
The honesty of these students is always astonishing, and the discourse is so telling of the attitudes at the time. The argument of fear put forth by the Ghanaian and Australian students was very insightful, as was the Ghanaians thoughts about every topic especially on the independance of his country, because what he lays out is exactly what the british, french, americans etc are afraid of. This was a time for oppurtunity for Africa to become independant and build from the fruits of their land and labor, yet in many cases, to differing degrees the exploitation by colonial and corrupted powers continued. That is why the americans and others don't talk or teach about Africa because if they did people would know what happens and Buisnesses/Government don't like that. Fear continues to blind us from possibility and our denial of fear as by the south african stops us from realizing there's nothing to be afraid of.
Everyone’s rightfully in love with the Ghanan dude. But I love how the Aussie bloke came on American TV and directly challenged the concept of the American dream by saying America doesn’t even have equal opportunity for their children because schools are run by communities and not the state, and not all communities are equal, so not all schools are equal, so wealthy families who live in wealthy areas will have better education for their children. Then when the Ghanan dude started talking about home, he played wingman and asked questions so that the convo stayed on what the Ghanan dude wanted to talk about, even though he clearly came there prepped for a long talk about schooling.
There something significantly wrong with our education and educational system at large! My goodness, where did we go wrong! This was what, some good 79 years ago and Ghanaian students at 17 were so articulate and aware. Their thought process was superb and they had such command of the English language, correct pronunciation and sentence structure. I’m just amazed!!
I am an African and I don't think she was in any denial. If you were to be a descendant of white south Africans you would say exactly what she said if not more extreme. Everyone defends themselves in the world.
@@napoleonokugbe3110 I don’t think that you being African changes my opinion or changes anything for that matter. I understand that she is only perpetuating what she’s knows. My comment however specifically is commenting on when the guys said to her “you are afraid” and you could clearly that she heard herself but just kept on; therefore it seemed like denial. I understand the mess her ancestors put her in. So many are in the fall out of their predecessors.
The Ghanians in this series are smart,their faculties of logic and reason are beyond high school.They answered questions which are still relevant today to the average African.
This whole series have made me realize that this current generation is in deep problem. The era of technology and social media is doing more harm than good. See what's happening out there, young adults who have a lot of potentials loose interest in their studies. They would prefer to be a TikTok legend than to be a Scholar. See we need to do better, just look at these teenagers dishing out wisdom like this eh. In this 21st century, you hardly ever get to see a lot of teenagers who are highly knowledgeable about history, culture, ethnicity, etc #Readers are Leaders indeed.
Reading opens your mind to so many things. I have even come to realize that there are some things that we think are OK to do. When it's really not and they don't even make sense. It's crazy how we think we have evolved from the 19s and have made a shift in our mindsets when there are a lot of things wrong in our generation that funny enough in a few years or centuries are going to be seen as stupid.
Im Ghanaian and I wish we are as these videos show. It seems somewhere along the line there was a decline in our educational development. Students today of high school or even university age don't have this much knowledge or awareness of the world or debating skills. I'm actually surprised by how well the students of old performed in these videos.
Waoh. Knowing this happened in the year my mother was born feels a little strange. These young people are definitely from her parents' generation. Just a little younger though. These people were well read in spite of not having the internet.
Bible makes you dumb because it is anti critical thinking and objective reasoning. Superstitions (the bible) and critical logical thinking does not go together.
@@joem551 The Bible don't help people to think deep, because it's written God knows everything, even if you ask deep question, The Pastors will never answer will tell you it a curse to asked
If we listen to our Gold Coast brother well, he the white don't want us to be educates, so that we won't have a leader. But many people think the schools were all over the Gold Coast.
Clearly you are from hyper Pentecostal/Charismatic backgrounds. Even the bible itself makes reference to studying the bible. Ever heard of apologetics? Your statement is devoid of proper knowledge in regards to the bible. Seems all you know is what your preacher tells you ....
You can be very intelligent and not know your heritage. Your intelligence comes from what you learned from white man's history, not from the history of the Bible. Perhaps you should research who you are according to scriptures is more better than any wisdom you can learn on this earth
In all the videos with SA students, this lady is the one who spoke the real truth motivating the separatism. All the other students were hiding behind helping the Bantus develop and etc.
Good observation. Maybe because she was the first student sent to these televised debates (1954) and in subsequent years the SA government made a point to tell the delegates they were sending about what points they're supposed to hit and how to answer questions?
We should bring this back to world culture and TV. I think it might help young kids feel more part of their world in a healthy way and become interested in politics. It also might help the world realize deficits it has through the honesty of its children.
Why am feeling so uneasy seeing them sit so close together. This COVID-19 social distancing and mask wearing this is causing some stirs in my mind, I mean how? SMH
I think the accent in the GoldCoast was different from today’s Ghana probably they mingle with the whites and perhaps they have white teachers, doctors? am the only Ghanaian hearing the sweet GoldCoast accent!👍😆
The American accent back then was different from what it is today too. Accents are social organisms. They evolve. The way your ancestors spoke your native language 150 years ago would have been very different from how you do today.
You see the answer is in your question. You are talking about the blacks being given this or given that. That say's who is in charge, and how di they get in charge? The reality is the whites are more advanced and that's just it. They are ahead in the race. That's all. We may catch up in the next century or 2 but for now we have to stop being gun-shy and say what it is.
Yeah, and Only a few people had the privilege to go to school. You can now understand why Kwame Nkrumah built a lot of schools across the country in his 5 year development plan.
