As a Nigerian I appreciate you Ms Achaempong for letting your Dad tell the whole world how much he enjoyed Nigeria 🇳🇬during his early formative years. Nigeria was indeed a great country with a very strong currency. Today things are worst and Nigerians are escaping in droves to all developed countries in the world while the country continues to suffer from brain drain. Sad to say the least !!! I am happy for your dad giving birth to a wonderful woman like you. Continue to be the best wife to your hubby as the world awaits your greatness ✨
@@ibrahimtanko4365 Naira is very weak now but till around 1984 a dollar wasn't up to one naira.The exchange rates started nose-diving from the structural adjustment program (SAP) under Babangida when naira was devalued. Up till this moment of the worst President ever in Nigerian history, Buhari 1$ now equals #480, 1pound is coasting to #700 and euro having a nice time. Sad !!!
This now is a teaching moment for us all. I implore you all to get footage of your parents about their life history and keep it for posterity’s sake. It’s important 👌🏽. (Especially us in the diaspora) our kids would need this one day. One love to you all .
I really like your dad stories from Ghana to Nigeria 🇳🇬 and down to Europe. He's very nice and natural. You are lucky and thanks to ur mum for showing her love and interest in Africa.
I love seeing you interact with your father. This is something that your children will never forget , you embracing your paternal culture and spending time with him. Seeing this gives me a better understanding of who you are and how sincere you are as a person. I will subscribe to your channel.
Your dad is great. ..wow..he lived in Nigeria and played for the stationery stores..a super nice team playing football..He is an all rounder..wow speaking all those languages..I respect your dad..he is a real legend who should be respected ..he has a very sharp memory ..still remenbers the names of the coaches and great players..i have learnt a lot from listening to him.i am from Nigeria but now living in the US..God bless your dad..He is a really well accompkished guy..I m also a twin much respect for your dad
Your the twin of your father. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I hope he gets consoled with the love of Christ in His heart and that it will help him to overcome the pain of losing his mother and living more in joy and peace. 🙏🏿❤
These Dutch adverts keep interrupting me, but I let them play because I like this channel. The single part got me. If your Mum is still single, I would like both of them to come back together so that they both enjoy their sunset days together. I wished it were that easy.
I’m so happy for this video, this is evidence that my country Nigeria 🇳🇬 was once a great country and your Dad witness and lived through it. Your Dad is such a nice man and speak from his heart, and also he’s blessed with a beautiful woman, a wife and a mother. As for Nigerian 🇳🇬 politicians they will all die in shame. As a Nigerian living in the United States 🇺🇸 I’m not very proud to call myself a Nigerian because of the stigma attached to that name. Our greedy and self centered politicians have totally destroyed my country for selfish reason but I believe one ☝️ day Nigeria and Africa as a whole will come back stronger by God’s grace. May the good God bless and keep you, your Dad and family safe in Africa.
I like your dad's openness and franc-parler. I can feel from afar the deep connection between you and your dad. And his advice to Africans are so realistic and true. Continue to spread the love.
I really like her father his honesty and the way he apologized to his daughter about the language he did not teach her that’s good. Very humble and respectful but very funny 😆😂🥰🥰🥰
Your father is a Nigerian ooo. Up stores... First class football club in those days.. Anna you see Nigeria and Ghana are brothers.. I used to watched your father playing football in those days. My God. This man is a repetoire of football history in Nigeria... He can be a football commentator. Anna, I love this man I would like to meet him in the Netherlands.
WOW! I was watching the video in which you showcased your dad. If a child shows honour to the dad, he or she receives blessings. I am a Nigerian living in the diaspora and I have the same as your dad, and also have a daughter that lives London and most likely be the same age like you. Seeing both of you together reminds me of my daughter, the kind of affection she gives me whenever she pays us a visit. Kudos 👍 to you.
It was watching you and your father connecting that blessed me... if only grown children can sit and communicate with their father on this level, to listen to their heart, It would be a blessing for them, how many yearn for that... May God continue to bless you as you follow through letting your children spend time with him. I’m 77 years and remember going on holidays to visit with my grandparents, it’s good memories locked in, that no one can take away...👏🏽👏🏽💕🙏🏽
Your dad is right.I read an article in the national geography, that the Nigerian dream was just like the American dream.so it's painful to see what these vagabonds in power have turn Nigeria into, even Africa as a whole.
An entire generation of Pan African minded intellectuals were destroyed by political instability, targeted repression and violent upheavals. Africa is just recovering.
Very interesting! Your dad has a good attitude to life and even his father did, too, saying “ We are all the same”. I think it’s so interesting hearing about our parent’s thoughts when they were young, their motives, their feelings.
I am a Cameroonian based in the USA, the football history is on point. The match btw Cameroon & Argentina made FIFFA to increase the number of African teams to the world cup from 5 to 7 .
That's heavily false! Africa is still represented by five countries in the world cup. It was only different when South Africa hosted, and we had one extra because South Africa the host should qualify automatically by default.
@@whyte_fyre No, it is not heavily false. It's only slightly wrong. And the only wrong thing is about the numbers. We used to have 1 slot and then 2 slots. After the Cameroonian exploits it was increased to 3. Later we gained 2 more slots when the number of countries participating in the world cup finals was increased.
To be honest with you,the most funniest Cameroonian footballer was Makanaky anytime he kicks a ⚽️ ball,you can see him praying for the ball to go into the post.during the 1990 Fifa world cups
This man should teach his daughter how to properly pronounce the Ewe (the W is pronounced V) so it should sound Like Eve’.in their alphabet,the letter V replaced the letter W. Just like in Germany 🇩🇪 Jacob is pronounced YACOB even in the Twi language Jacob is also pronounced YACOB
This was so refreshing to watch. Your dad is amazing and full of wisdom. Please let the children go to him when they are on school break because they will benefit so much. Keep up the good work. 👏👏👏🙏
The best thing you are doing is learning about your roots and allowing your kids to learn and embrace their roots. I would like to learn about my African roots but have no idea where to start due to slavery. But I am definitely going to start with Ghana. One of my dearest friend is from Ghana and am hoping to plan a trip with her sometime next year. God bless!
If you dont have african parents or an African American then you can start with DNA test. Iam sure the result can help tell you where in Africa you come from.
Nijas since u lknow Papa and live hom do much pse click on the like buttons and subscribe to his daughter, if she does well she too can help her Dad as he is ageing. Bgo Nija s
The words of your father torched me your father is a great man I know the name of coach's he mentioned am also a footballer your father truly knows Nigeria and he talks like a Nigeria please 🙏 you need to go too Nigeria.
I loved this interview with your dad. It's interesting how he wasn't willing to discuss his life initially but eventually opened up. In true African fashion, the elders talk when they're ready to, not when you prompt them to. Lol. You can see how fluid the cultures of West Africa are. Younger West Africans need to learn this from their grandparents. Much respect and truly a learning narrative. Glad to hear Nigeria come up in your family history too. Big ups to Togo.
you just have to count yourself as a very lucky lady to have a wise father cos he will definitely show you and teach you a lot about life. you are blessed
I think I fall in love with this wonderful lady . She is a really African natural woman . Look the way she is enjoying her dad by asking sweet questions . I think I will plan meeting her once I’m back . Proud of you Nana family .
This is probably the best and most genuine Q & A I have ever come across on YT. No filters & no sugar coating or coaching ... Everything is so REAL & the Topics of conversation are real talks between a grown daughter and a loving father who don’t always stay together most of the time. I do the same thing too with my dad and watching this just made me miss him more than ever. I am also the only child & daughter & I can relate so much of what they talking about
I love that . He is pan-African. I wish and pray for all Africans and those of the African diaspora to be free from the mental shackles of slavery that prevent us from understanding the importance of Pan Africanism and adopting and applying the concept of Pan Africanism. Your father is a very intelligent and intellectual and politically conscious man. God bless you and all of your family.
I enjoyed this candid conversation with your father who has really lived an interesting life. Your father was able to learn so many new languages without the help of his parents and you can too if it is your desire. Togo is a beautiful place and I will definitely visit again! 🤞 Thanks for sharing!
Your father is a solid Man that lived through Nigeria. Nigeria Currency was heavier than USA Dollar in 1983 when l moved to England. l was twenty years old and just ran away from Home to England by stealing my father money. l grew up in Ibadan but l was always in Lagos when l had long vacation in High School. l attended Olivet Baptist High School in Oyo. My family moved from Ghana, Kumasi back to Nigeria in 1971. When you play FOOTBALL from youth, your immune system will forever be solid. l have being living in USA since 1990 when l moved from London. ------ Osollo.
Anna this seems like a heartfelt conversation with your father. He seems very knowledgeable about many things in life, and I’m sure he could impart his knowledge onto his grandchildren too. Thanks Anna once again! Just keep those vlogs coming!
Ana girl I can relate. I am afull Ghanaian born and raised in Europe and my parents didnt even bother teaching me EWE. I can speak it a little bit. Many African parents have made this mistake in the past when it comes to teaching their native tongue to their kids that are born abroad. I will be making a video highlighting this in my diaspora series on my channel
Please do sister, I think the older generations did a lot of that thinking that we are now living in a global community so African languages is not important to know but to speak fluent European language is the way to go because we do trade with those countries but today is different, Africa will be a power to contend with so we must know Arabic, Swahili and other African language of trade!! Will be following you and thanks!
Ana, your sentiments about the language are very valid. My children are of mixed ethnic backgrounds, and it is very challenging to speak the native language with them subconsciously because their dad only speaks English. So they speak English as their main language because of school, their dad etc. it’s so much easier and automatic and default to speak English with them. There is no one else to reinforce the native language unfortunately. It was my intention to teach them but hasn’t worked out. Cut dad some slack 😜
How I am just seeing this video! I love your dad. African dads are so laid back with so many beautiful memories. I love that your dad said he loves Fanti.. I am fanti so that made me smile. I am trying to learn my parents language too. My parents didn't teach me either but know it's my responsibility to learn.. We can do it!
Ur daughter is soo polite n clever , clam but yet deepthinker, she holds so much contraductions inside her trying to find answers , things could be better but still racism is there to stay, ok ok is her beautifull word tells u she is well understanding person, to her man u keep this princess for ever.
My goodness Anna, you are a spitting image of your Papa. Your dad is understanding n very supportive and can really understand how your mother fell in love with him. Awww how sweet! 🌹
1st to comment so excited. Your dad is so lovely to listen to. No wonder women fell for him. And Anna, interviewing comes natural. Wish you could pursue a professional career in it
@@AnnaAcheampong I agree. I think this is even better than professionals. She's relaxed and natural; that makes the interview much better👍. On traditional TV they sound so artificial and time bound.
It gave me chills to hear and see your dad's life come full circle. It was nice and interesting. Thank you for this. These kinds of interviews are priceless!
Absolutely addictive, love your dad’s laidback and relaxing approach, he’s the real deal, cute to see him apologize, mine would never lol We could well be related, he so much looks like my dad and my heritage is from Togo as well, but born in Ghana Thanks for sharing princess Stay blessed and safe and please help your kids learn at least one Ghanaian language. It’s easier when they’re lil Cheers
I like your dad’s personality. Calm and open minded. Thank goodness, I speak Ga,Twi,Ewe,Ada and Fante. Anna it’s not too late, you can still learn Ewe or Ga.
Ik vind het echt mooi dat jullie deze dingen vastleggen. De gesprekken met familie leden etc. De diepgang en intentie erachter raakt mij. Familie geschiedenis en roots is super belangrijk. Op deze manier kan je de legacy ook doorgeven.
I notice that it seems that mostly mothers pass own the languages to the children compared to fathers. It’s a beautiful thing to connect to Africa and our people. I hope to connect one day too.
Wow Anna ,It's a shame that the sound of the video is of lower quality, it is an interesting video regardless! Ok, I have an assumption that your husband and your dad would get on well. Like, they would have a lot to talk about when they sit down together lol. I don't know why, but it could be because of a somehow similar demeanour and how chilled out both of them seem to be individually. On cameras anyway. Am I wrong? Haha. Cant wait for more of your videos:)
Sophie is your twin, and you both favor your dad. You looked exactly like Sophie in that baby picture you showed. I think Sophie is very athletic as well as Micah and they possibly inherited some of that from your dad. It is good to know you had/ and still have a relationtionship with him despite the separation from your mom. It helps mixed race children to remain whole and accept both cultures. It is shameful that the world tries to box them in and force them to choose a race. It is my prayer that those of mixed race heritages recognize this and can be comfortable with both cultures. In my eyes, mixed children are some of the most beautiful children in the world. You as well as your children and Kevin are beautiful! There is something within the soul of mixed race individuals that helps cultivate the world into a better place as the result of their existence. Period! Did not mean to be long winded. I am not of mixed race, but I am passionate in my ideology. Thanks for listening.
She is a true Africa because of her father. The child is always whay the father is. When you plant a grain of corn, that is what grows, never pea. You are your father always and where your father's roots originated, you are also. The seed is the origin.
This was the BEST video in my opinion on your channel. I may be bias but I’m a daddies girl. I really enjoyed you and your father. I really understood the journey he allowed us to see. I felt when he told you that even though you don’t speak the language if you were in his city you would be accepted because the people respect me...wow. He is a 🤴🏿 he reminds me of my father where I’m from in the U.S. California, everyone knows my father and respects him. As such his children are well looked after. I truly know in my heart no matter where you decided to live Accra or Togo you would be great Anna. Thank you and your father for sharing your lives with us. His message to all of our African Brothers & Sisters made me 🥲 tears of joy... Bless you all...
Anytime I see a black woman giving props to her dad, I hit like, even before watching. There are too few media appreciation of black fathers in the world today, especially in the Western countries where so, so many black people live!
My first time on this channel and I already subscribed because of this video. Your father is so laid back. All my respect to any African Father or mother who educate their children about the motherland. Anna you look so young and healthy🤍 This channel is going to go worldwide. I am speaking it into existence.
