48 hours In New York City America! 

WODE MAYA YOU ARE THE MOST WELL LOVE & KNOWN U TUBER IN THE WORLD ❤ WHO AGREES ?💯❤🇰🇳😃

Hi Wode Maya I’m Reginald Gale I can say I’m your friend, I’m a 73 years old Barbadian who lives in Florida USA. I have been watching you for a long time my wife thinks you’re my son, I saw you when you were in Barbados Jamaica and the other island, please keep doing the good work, love you guys your wife Miss Truty is SPECIAL…… You’re in NEW YORK at this time❤❤you’re having a good time in NEW YORK..

I'm travelling the whole world courtesy of MAYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! 😂😂😂

@wodemaya next time you come to the USA you have to have a Black American who is from NYC, who knows the 400 year history of Black Americans in NYC, and they will take you to Weeksville Heritage Center, which is a museum in Brooklyn. Weeksville, was one of America's first free black communities during the 19th century. They would have also told you the first commodity sold on Wall Street was enslaved Africans(our ancestors) and they would have told you about the Black community called Seneca Village which was a 19th-century settlement of mostly African American landowners in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, within what would become present-day Central Park.They took their land and built central park over it. They also would have taken you to the Malcom X Center, etc... I know you were not there for long, and of course everyone wants to show you around lol, but respectfully the 400 year history is something the African migrants here in this video don't know about, so they could not tell you, and that's understandable, they were giving you their version of NYC and there is a place for that as well. But definitely next time you come back you have to get with one of your Black American viewers that are a native New Yorker for generations who knows the Black history of NYC to really tell you the full range of information on our people in the New York City.

You had a great gentlemen showing you around NYC. I can tell he loves NYC, Africans, and the diaspora. Believe it you are uniting us all.

Just a random Vlog in New York 😂

What the man said around the slave monument really got to me….We can’t fail our ancestors, they put up a good fight..We must grow out our mentality and conditioning and take our destiny into our own hands

I'm an African American and I have never had the opportunity to leave the country. Every time I watch one of your videos I feel like my soul is healed. I grew up around friends who are from different countries or whose parents are from different countries. They know so much about the culture of their ancestors. Slavery barred me from having this same relationship. When I watch your videos it does something special. Keep it up bro!

I was sooo happy to see you in CNN today. I felt like a proud mother!! Keep doing what you doing ❤🎉 Congratulations for all your achievements! Please never change.

One of the best pieces of journalism I’ve seen in years. It captures the people of New York so perfectly.

I cant stop being amazed by this mans now GLOBAL LEGACY. Absolutely incredible!!!

I'm AA in Florida.... WE ❤ You & Your Family 🎉🎉 Unite the AA Caribbean & Our African Family ❤🎉😊😊

THIS BROTHER, IS TELLING YOU GUY'S IN AFRICA, THE REAL TRUTH LIVING IN AMERICA! THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS THE AMERICAN, DREAM! THE AMERICAN, DREAM IS ONLY WHAT YOU SEE IN MOTION PICTURES ON THE SILVER SCREEN PROMOTED IN HOLLYWOOD! WHAT'S GOOD MY BROTHER, WODE 🇺🇲

Wode is the definition of famous. Everywhere he goes, he is known. Keep living your best life my dude!

Hopefully your next stop in America will be to visit more black American establishments.

For those of you in Africa, take note of the stress and sadness in the faces of the Africans in NY. Life is HARD there! To work outside in the cold and it wasn’t too cold in the video! What the man in the beginning said is TRUTH!

It seems shocking that so many people that lives in America watches your RU-vid Channel which seems amazing. I am very impressed with that and as everybody is telling you to keep up the good work and I also say the same. This tells you that soon non-Black people will start watching your videos as people outside Africa are already watching your content. Keep it up Wode Maya👍👍👍

The cost of advertising in Times Square can range from $5,000 to over $50,000 per day, depending on the type of ad, its length, and the number of props needed. For example, a small digital billboard (8 ft by 12 ft) can cost as little as $4,500 per month. A 15-second ad on one of Times Square's big screens can cost $500 for 20 plays, or $150 for a photo to run for 15 seconds per hour for 24 hours. A 15-second clip on an 18,000-square foot LED display costs about $40.

Wode Maya To The World, Everywhere he goes people recognise him, The ❤❤❤ is great, Continue the good work 👍

Greetings from Dubai, I’ve learnt a lot from this video today… big up Wode Maya and big up to that elderly driver for the education 🤝 One Africa, one Love and one people

Maya, sincerely you are making us proud. I wish our political leaders will do the right things to make Africa a choice destination for all around the world. From Bayelsa State Nigeria 🇳🇬.

REPÚBLICA DOMINICANA ACTIVO TE ESPERAMO EN RD 👍👍👌👌🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🖐🖐🦾

Hello Wode Maya! I am a huge fan of you! I have been wondering if one day it's possible you do a video on the Gullah and Geechie people in the deep south!!

Watching you from Trinidad 🇹🇹 Relocated from the big apple NYC 17yrs ago back to my homeland T& T🇹🇹🇹🇹But I still love New York! Enjoy your trip stay safe! Love you Wodemaya ❤safe travel back✈❤🙌🏾

Great video! Glad you made it to America. I was hoping you would delve more into the Black history of America. You should come back and explore different regions of the U.S., perhaps try some black american food, live music and more. There is not only Hip Hop that we created. Washington D.C., New Orleans have their own native Genre of music, amongst the many other genres of Black American culture. Black history is RICH in the U.S. of America and to really appreciate Black American culture you have to explore our history. Your visit to New York only captured a minute portion of it. Even could have been explored much more (although you were time constraints). Hopefully you will return and follow suggestions from some of your American viewers of where to visit. My suggestions, Washington, DC, New Orleans, Lousiana, Southeastern Coast (Home of Gullah Geechee people). Memphis, TN, Houston, TX, Detroit, MI...many more.

IF YOUR'RE AN AFRICAN AND YOU DON'T KNOW WODE MAYE, THEN YOU'RE NOT YET ON THE INTERNET....LOTS OF LOVE FROM GH

Can we get some local sponsors to show Wode how we live down South? Show him how we live in the country, ride horses, go fishing, hunting, and he most certainly need to visit New Orleans, Texas, the real Florida, Mississippi, and the Mid-West, etc....

Young man you re doing Gods work. People all around the world follow your videos because not only are you entertaining but you teach something about every place you go. The gentleman driving you around was not only knowledgeable about NY but passionate about our people. Thank you for what you and your wife are doing. Hope to see you in Philadelphia,PA USA one day.

Your driver is so passionate about the development of Ghana ❤

Wede! I've grown up in NY. My father was a diplomat. NY is my second home, that is why I love America the beautiful.

Your Tourguide is an amazing man.When he spoke about the slavery memorial l felt that ...

An absolutely fantastic video, a great culmination to your Americas trip. Congratulations Wode Maya🎉 stay blessed brother. You doing it 💯😎🔥

Thanks for showing us New York 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🇯🇲

So trueee!!! I live in New York and I work, work, work!!! I am a teacher, this place is NOT easy!

Your favorite boy In Zambia 🇿🇲 is the house

Wode Maya i have seen you on "CNN African voices" keep up the good work 👌🏾👍🏾

Love you Wode Maya,From Philadelphia by the way of Brooklyn NY. If you get a chance to come again please go to the outer boroughs. You'll find people that love you and Trudy and watch all your videos. Real diversity in the outer boroughs.

Watching from Saint Lucia. Only my favorite village boy could give such great video of the city NEW York. Blessed love❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This episode was so worthy to watch. Specially the part of discovering New York in terms of its foundation, in of its history related to slavery. Thank you to this gentleman who took you around.

Thanks Family ❤Good Leadership is on the WAY to STAY in the Holy Land at HOME 🇿🇦

Love from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

😂 oh my Gooooooodd!! What are the chances?! Accra restaurant is right next door to my apartment! I wish i knew u were coming, would have invited u upstairs for an interview with me, on Ghanaian living in bronx NY. Aaww!! Im glad u had this man who drove and brought u to the right places, considering your limited time. The young lady u talked to at the Accra restaurant is my favourite called Mariam. U should have let us know u were coming.

Wode Maya is a celebrity, looks sharp 1luv ❤ watching from Boston, where lots of Africans lives 😊🙏🏽

Yes, that man is speaking the truth, living abroad is not an easy life. You working for the Tax man it best to stay in your own country and do what you are doing to the best of your ability and build up your own wealth in your country. I never know hard until I leave my country to live abroad.

Have a billboard about your channel at Times Square. A lot of people need to unlearn and learn about Africa specifically and the world in general. Your travel videos are very impactful .

Welcome to New York I just missed you

Watching from Ghana keep it up brother God bless you good work

Great Job WODE MAYA: Your Devotion, Hardwork and Resilience inspires me and Alot of Your AfricaN Brothers and Sisters. Keep-Up. Ayuk Benedict from Germany.

When the Brits conquered New York , simultaneously Fort York in Axim , in the Westen Region of Ghana was conquered by the Dutch .. So Fort York was renamed Fort Amsterdam , whiles New Amsterdam was renamed New York.. @jaycameron has a video on it ..

Lest we forget..that place really got me😢

Enjoying seeing you getting all the Love ! Yes ,we watching All the way from Houston, Texas 😊! ❤❤❤❤❤

Great vlog, Maya! Thank you for sharing. It's deeply moving to see the monument dedicated to the slave trade, with the poignant reminder, "lest we forget."

MAYA here is the answer to your question. This bronze statue honors George M. Cohan's contributions to musical theatre. Cohan, a composer, playwright, and performer, was nicknamed "the man who owned Broadway," with hits including "You're a Grand Old Flag" and "Give My Regards to Broadway."

Hey wod maya I love you brother Not love like women but love you like brother and brother I am from Africa But not like you from Africa it’s your personal I am here Ohio Watching you in New York city

It's still cold in NY, which is why I'm still in The Gambia!!

Wode!!!!! Next time you're here, do a meet-up. Please have Ms. Trudi accompanied you. You're loved.

@WODEMAYA I remember you were the first RU-vidr to visit Haiti and always talk positively about HAITI. I appreciate all that you are doing, you opened to door for all the other RU-vidrs in Afrika and started the Blaxit movement and showing Afrika to us you can't visit. Keep up the great work! Much love!🥰

There's a Ghana restaurant on 123rd Street and Adam Clayton Powell in Harlem New York what's the Gary and the jollof rice and the chicken and the black rice delicious it's called Accra restaurant

Wode Maya, great content. You are absolutely making a different. I watched Larry Madowo interview you for CNN. Keep putting Africa front and center.

My fiance is from Ghana she is from Winneba her mother is from Kumasi.

i love the KOFI ANNAN bit. MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE. GOD BLESS YOU @WM

New York is world of its own. Every time I drove in manhattan , I got intimidated. Thanks, brother WODE MAYA, you’re awesome!

Thanks for showing us around the world maya🙏🏼🙏🏼

The Pepsi guy ain't lying

I cried to see the monument. We know the saying here in Jamaica, "Lest We Forget".

Welcome to my city.

I have learned so much from, Watching your videos. Thank you for all you do.. because of you I am learning about Dr.PLO Lumumba. His words r powerful. Keep up your good work. Continue Freeing black people mind so we can belive in ourself. We have what it takes to make Africa / BLACKS and the Caribbean GREAT. YOU R THE NEW LEADER. THANK YOU

Thanks for showing us around NYC.

The best of WodeMaya so far. The combination of WodeMaya and Ben Dotsei Malor was great. I followed Malor's journey from Ghana when he won a BBC Network Africa competition, to working with the BBC and then joining the UN. I even remember his wedding to a Jamaican. Thanks guys for all you are doing for Africa. You are an inspiration. 6:30 6:36

I am in America but i am learning sbout it on your channel Wode! You are a legend 😮

Big up Wode Maya I sorry I did not meet u in N.Y.C . But I glad u experience a little of the City Nuff Love To U And Ur Beautiful Wife 🙏❤️

This is a great educative video. That man who took you to the museum is loaded with data 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Ben Dotsei Malor is really a wise and educated man. I love your videos, Maya. Thank you! ❤

Maya, we love everything you do, please keep up with the good work brother.❤❤❤

I actually love this guy. WodeMaya long life and move forward from Djibouti 🇩🇯

Wode Maya, Canada 🇨🇦 next please 🙏

So you're in my city man and I miss you. I'm in the city now. I live in NJ but come to NYC every weekend. Glad to see you get to Harlem. It's changing, becoming gentrified, there's good and bad in that but it loses its flavor. The raised road is probably the FDR drive. Wonderful to see so many Africans in NYC and others that recognize Wade Maya. Your guide is wonderful. Really moving trip to UN. I used to work two blocks from there in the 1990s. Times Square is just where tourists go. Times Square is where you can go to a Broadway show and fight the crowds to get to your theater. George Cohan is a playwright. Big figure in show biz. I wish you had more time in the city. I would recommend you take the 7 train to 74th St. and walk around Roosevelt Av. Jackson Heights. Why, because it is the most culturally diverse neighborhood in New York City and very interesting. It's not touristy either. Go to Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn. Big Caribbean culture there But take the subways, it's the real New York City culture down below. I was born in Jamaica Hospital! But that looks like a new building and location. They've expanded. Come back, man. Come back.

I cant wait to touch ground in Africa. Ghana. South Africa, egypt and ethopia... one day. My ancestors are calling me home

Maya my wife said: "I am an "African want to be" so I told her Yes!!! Would not have it no other way...😀 The key to Africa is interstates USA came to life after the interstates... Malawi, Ghana, Nigeria, Guinea, Gambia, Kenya...

Welcome to New York Maya! I love New York!!! But no place like home.

Cool vibes watching from the Dominican Republic

Something enter me, when our beloved woman says isn't Wode Maya bro you are blessed Ghana need to celebrate your efforts watching u from Dubai wonderful wrk bro

First time seeing Wode Maya in shoes🤣🤣🤣 New York has humbled you, Maya.😂😂

Africa for Africans at Home and Abroad.... Marcus Garvey Wide Maya go to Harlem and see the original New York

The man said it all , no where like home and yes our leaders are not helping hmmmm hopefully it get better 😊

Just saw coverage on CNN. So I had to subscribe to support you from Florida.

Hope you visit South Asia and North Africa
