Black Americans are not rich Africans people think we are rich. I lived in the Gambia for five months. When I went to African both times, I took suitcases full of supplies to give to the African people. The two realtors took money from me and lied about the condition of the rental housing saying the were in good condition, they were not but the landlord would not refund my money. When buying items the stores charge much more then what they charged the African. They would cheat me or changed four times more then what they charged a African for the same item. They followed me around for money. I gave as much as I could but it was not enough for them. Many Black Americans and blacks from other countries have left the Gambia because of the mistreatment we received from them. The police would stop and ask for money money. I have no plans on returning to Gambia Not unless the Lord tells me or He takes me back to African. The Black Americans went over to make a life and help to the African people. Instead we were stolen from and cheated. We never nor would we ever mistreat the Africans like they have mistreated the Black Americans. Who the African peolpe need to look out for are the Chinese, Indians and the Greek. And stop mistreating those that come to help them.
I bet people like you might now begin to call yourselves Americans now..instead of shitting on us for the last 30 yrs and calling yourselves Africans when you are most decidedly not! You are an American and have our ways..not theirs..color is skin deep.
u find way more black people making 6 figures or more in the usa more than anywhere else on this globe. and the mass majority of these people are born and raised americans. so out of most black cultures, u find the blacks with the most money coming from america. but id say african people have more richest at their disposal. literally right under their feet. they just have no unity and allow non africans & corrupt Africans to run their stuff, hence they dont get opportunities to utilize what they have. on the big stage, the majority of every culture on this planet is financially poor. we just like the nit pick the successful "talented tenth" to make our culture seem better than others
It's really crazy how black Americans think that they are Africans and are going back home. Africa sold its own people into slavery then lied and said they were kidnapped. You think money was not exchanged? Now they are luring the descendants of the people they sold back to Africa under false pretense and black Americans are falling for it. I have no interest in going to Africa. My entire family is from the Caribbean. I lived in the states and the UK but have now moved back to the Caribbean where my family has land and a home. This is my mixed up culture that I love. I pick my fruits straight from di trees, fresh air, great foods and everything I need. Good luck to the folks saying they are going back home to a place they know nothing of.
The reason why we who the world refers to as the bywords negro or black have bad experiences in africa is because we're the true Hebrew Israelite Descendants today. Africans sold our ancestors to the grecians (white folk according to Joel 3:2) because they've always hated us. This statement goes back to Psalms 83. In Isaiah 52:12 THE MOST HIGH YAHUAH instructs us NOT to go out in haste to africa but to wait and follow HIM so that we won't have the problems we have today when we go over to africa. THE MOST HIGH YAHUAH who covenanted with Abraham, Issac and Jacob has revealed in scripture that HE will be regathering HIS chosen people back into our land. We who are HIS, just need to wait. I've read many complaints like yours.
black americans are the richest black culture on the planet, and its not even close. when u say u come from america, they know u come from money, hence the reason they charge u more. they do the same with even white americans, or africans that relocated to america, then came back home
I agree with almost everything he said concerning diplomacy, to ease tensions. However Africans must be taught that part of the land belongs to the Diaspora, because Diasporans did not leave voluntary, but in chains, and in some cases with the help of Africans.
Did the Asians civilized Africans No? Are vis versa they brought you mandarin in many countries in the universities they are their for the good scramble for your minerals, marriage, 😂😂 like thousand years about
Do you know that those Africans who were enslaved had families, parents who never saw their children anymore and probably had kids they left behind? Tell me what's in it for those families? There are some black folks, especially in the USA, who have been told by leaders of the ADOS and FBA that their ancestors are not even from Africa. Which one is it? They hate on Africans, especially Nigerians and Caribbeans. They don't want to be called African Americans but Black Americans, so why not buy land in America?
Many high chiefs offered land grants to formerly enslaved descendants many times over for decades. Hundreds and even thousands of acres were offered to us to build communities. Some of us believed them because we were welcomed and given land. Read about Fihankra, the land grant Dr. Maulana mentioned. Even the Ghanaian govt made such claims. They say it now. Ever hear of Ghana Wakanda? That fell flat. Our own folks, some Pan Africans who repatriated rarely told us the actual facts. We were constantly lectured at to go home to Africa. Never cautioned! Our romantic view of the Motherland was and is constantly exploited. It has been only recently that folks are offering "advice" to navigate the return. Believe me, they charge for it, too. Land can be leased, seldom if ever bought to own outright by non-Ghanaians, meaning our folks. Most marry Ghanaians to avoid the complexities. Keep in mind, leases extend to lifetimes, 99 yrs, which allows lessees to believe they are the rightful owners. We only heard the constant beckoning to come home to Ghana. Go back home to Africa. Come my sistah, my brotha...we will give you land. Some did and do (see Pram Pram) and they fare well, however, too many are scammed. But guess who has little trouble "buying land ", especially now? The whites, yellows and browns are there by the millions. Their govts help them. What is our govt? The same is true of citizenship. Obtaining that is very difficult, too. Repatriation is our right, but deceitfully, it comes with a cost.
It's also perplexing as to how any decent person could justify Abducting your own people, selling them into slavery, and STEALING their possessions, including LAND.
@@thecivilizingelementmany sold because they started wars, lost those wars they started and then were sold so those remaining could live in peace and free from threats to their safety.
I’m a Black American and what he’s saying makes perfect sense to me. I enjoyed my time in Ghana, and have often thought about investing in land, but I understand that there are cultural and economic differences that I may not understand. If we come to Africa, we should come with the mindset to “invest” not with the mindset to “get” something for free - that’s not what this diaspora movement is about. But with that, we should also take into consideration that there are key differences that we may not understand, so we should proceed with caution.
WTF would your puppet president sit back and ALLOW scammers to do so? Why dont you have modern efficient systems to prevent nonsense. Why are all of these fake 'kings' going unpunished? Thousands of people PURCHASED land. And scores of them were scammed. And you blame them for your bullshit system? dont blame Diasporans for your poor inadequate system and crooked immorality.🤦🏿♂🤦🏿♂
In most west Afrikans countries even purchase is not possible. There is no such thing as freehold title in most of those countries for non citizens or foreigners. What is available are long term leaseholds. If this is a deal breaker then look to Southern Afrika!!
Yes, there is no free land in Ghana. Everyone who needs land in Ghana, whether a Ghanaian or foreigner, pays for it. And you should do your due diligence to ensure the land you are buying is free from all encumbrances before you part with money, just as you would do anywhere else in the world, including America. What may have given people the wrong notion that Ghana is giving out free land to Africans born in the Diaspora is the land parcel given by the chief of Aseibu to the Diaspora community. Even with that offer, it's important to know that while you don't pay for the land itself, you pay for the administrative costs involved. Note also that the people handling everything related to the Aseibu concession are African Americans, not Ghanaians. There is no free lunch anywhere on this planet; that's a fact we must all appreciate.
Do not listen to this Dr.Maulana, he has an agenda, speak to those who got the land at ASEBU and have built something on it. Fofoons like you always not serious in doing anything rely on people like Dr.Maulana with negativity to help them not make good decisions................
@@samuelachie7890diaspora dont come illegaly in our country we have those who staye over 15 years or 20 years,we know diaspora dont look down on us we collaborate fine them they dont sell drugs and kidnapped people they come proper thats deference between our African brothers and sisters and African Americans
I think SA is a better choice... remember theirs a similar environment than west africa... the land in south africa has been seized by the foreign settlers.... the dutch/africaners mostly who have imposed even diet/food culture and land ownership culture on the people hence the similarities between the US and SA... go there my friend
true... please leave us be... best .. do not deal with us with preconceived images in your head... have you been to the black neighborhoods in the US ... the little shops owned by who ? the motels /hotels i could easily say the same ..
Please, stop saying that there is 500 years gap between us and the continent. Slavery started over Four or five hundred years ago, but it continued until the nineteenth century. So, some people ancestors came to the Americas less than two hundred years ago. It's important to keep this in mind, so people will not think that slavery is ancient. Another thing diasporas are not the only people coming to Ghana or Africa. There are millions of Chinese living in Ghana, and countless Lebanese along with Indians, Arabs, and Europeans, and they are not having any problems with the local people. What are these ethnic groups doing to improve the life of the locals, and why are the locals not resentful towards them? It's the mindset of Africans to fight against their own, and to sabotage the success of their own... It's part of the religious practice of Africans to work witchcraft to destroy one another. I see it in my community in the Caribbean... My friend, there is far more to this type of behavior than we can ever imagine.
You can keep on with that assumption that a 500 yr gap or whatever still exists. But then consider “how can that be? When the houseboy and butler of the employee of an employee has a tablet r phone with RU-vid access to engage in real time? That is not the same as communicating circumstances ideas and concepts not through a series of motions and grunts but with the demonstratives that modern. techs and apps make possible..
Why is it that the richest people in the world are asking for land, yet have zero credit history of being decent land stewards. Culture of entitlement in full effect.
Hmmm Ministry of the future should talk about problems and propose solution. If you are coming from a developed nation, one will expect you to bring your expertise on board and not to just lament or complain. Who said Africa has no problems. If it were so, the land wouldn't have existed and certainly no one will invite diaspora to come and help build. If you want to be happy in Africa, you must recognize the opportunity and fight for it. Don't you see other race in Africa doing same. If Africa were garbage, why are the other race still there?
I am sorry but it appears the word FREE is what is causing confusion and misunderstanding. African Americans have difficulty in grasping the concept of this "Free Land" gesture from the local chief. The land, in fact, is free. When you acquire land, you would have to register it at the land registry. This requires engaging surveyors, lawyers and someone to do the running around to put everything together to enable the registration to take effect. All these cost money. Surely, you do not expect the one who gave you the free land to pay the cost of survey/legal work/registration for you. It would amount to giving you cash on top of the free land. I believe the current charge for all the above work is $1200. This is really cheap considering the hassle involved. The Free land recipients should be thankful that there exists such a administrative package. Just imagine the cost of travelling to Ghana, going through all the hassle of running around to get all the paperwork together and waiting months to get to the registration stage. There is so much unnecessary noise about this Free Land project even though only a small fraction of the diaspora go to that area. The vast majority actually buy land. They buy in different areas of Ghana. I repeat only a small number of people are interested in the Free Land Area.
that word that word.. i live in the US, attend church here and the minute it is announced that there is an event and that there will be FREE breakfast you go there and people who can afford this breakfast 10X drive all the way from their homes in beautiful cars to attend.. the bane of all black people "FREE" that word....
Africa is not for Everyone. It is for those who recognize the opportunities in it and are willing to over the challenges that get to enjoy it. It is indeed not for the faint hearted. I doubt if anyone said it is easy to be here. If you come to Africa comparing nations with democracy of over 800 years like America to that of Africa 60 years, you will miss it. That is why one is called developing and one is developed. Those in it have realized complain will not solve the problem. They just make it work. If you are coming in, contribute to the solution because complaining will not get any needed attention. As a developing country, Africa have bigger issues to attend to especially fair trade in the world etc to get needed revenue to provide for those currently living in it. Remember, those living it currently need to survive. For them all they have and know is Africa.
Agree with your comments. To add more, it’s really not complaints but expression of dissatisfaction which should be told as learning lessons and give ppl options to evaluate possibly doing business and or live in African countries. Truth is inadequate infrastructure, politics and poor economy negatively impacts most Africans behaviors towards most Afro diasporas.
@@AdwoaLinda222 For the most part, the vast majority of the African people receive brothers and sisters from the diaspora very well and that's a fact that needs to be told. The structural problems on the ground -- inefficient systems, poor infrastructure etc. -- are real and they affect everyone and folks must understand this reality and plan accordingly. The good news is, there's knowledge out there to be tapped by those seriously looking to relocate and create a life for themselves on the continent.
@@py20 Your added information is true. I here on the ground in an African country. Kindly know, my comment was in reference to you saying people should stop complaining, which is often said, but it is not a compliant, words of dissatisfaction because most likely it was not anticipated. Those expression of concerns are learning moments for many.
@7:56 This SAYS IT ALL Very important message throughout, however the music is quite distracting. This message should apply to ALL African nations and tribes accepting diaspora among them. Integrate with the village. Benefit the village. The village will protect you.
You're right sir. I run an NGO and where i have build my house the chief and the elders are ready to give the foundation a land to give to the diaspora but they have to pay for the administration fee. And the foundation is paying the good will and Ramand 2 cartons of give for Libation. Its possible to give free land but you have pay for all the administration fee so that your name will be documented as the owner of the land.but some criminals have taken advantage of this and be using it to scam people from the Diaspora and it is very bad.
Because most Africans are still mentally colonized. Asians, whites, Indians all have land and businesses in Africa and are treated like kings. Blacks from the diaspora are seen as competition from Africans because they see themselves less than other races but not the diaspora sad
But you are not African. You are American. Fight to fix the problems in your country. Africa is not your country. This is where the problem is with the mindset that Africa is your home and you are African. Africans feel deep down that black Americans are not Africans. Yet they are luring them to Africa with false promises. Good luck.
No other race can purchase lands in Ghana. There is no such thing as freehold title for foreigners or non citizens. There is only leaseholds available. The same is true for most of west Afrika and east Afrika. If this is a deal breaker, then look more towards Southern Afrika..
It is my understanding that the (free) land is also for the indigenous as well.The land is for ANYONE that can prove african ancestry.The land ultimately is the Chiefs Estate. There are even (I understand) other races of people lining up to buy the land. You make some excellent points and perhaps your ideas can be integrated into the process.
The indigenous people already benefit tremendously from the diaspora moving into asebu for example, there’s a rule that they have to build something within six months or so. a lot of these people are building houses $25,000 and up and they’re using the sons of these indigenous people to build the houses. Those indigenous sons is taking that money back and spending it in the indigenous community, that’s employment & stimulation for that local economy. It’s the governments job to have a plan of welfare for their own citizens not the diaspora we are not rich!
Anyone that knows anything about land, should know that there are different types of land. In this case it is RAW land, meaning in order to make it suitable tor a house to be placed on it, you must do some things like survey the land, de-forest the land etc. Yes, these things cost money. That should be common knowledge.
No. It is good to alert people what to expect when moving to Africa. Lots of people want to move back to the home of their ancestors. There have been advertisements about " Free Land" for African Americans.
They should know that Africa is not for everyone. You don't just pack your things and move. And nothing is for free. I expect a person from America to know that.
@@politicallyafrican6317 Americans want free stuff from Africa a country they know nothing about, a culture they know nothing about. All they know is they are going back home and expecting free stuff. That mindset will do nothing for the country.
Go look back at the comments with regards to some of those “free land” videos on YT. You will find plenty of folks who attempted to present the warning, yet others felt they hasps the “hook up” and that they would get away with another’s fraud without repercussions.. Start with the premise, until proven and confirmed otherwise, that there is NO freehold title available to non citizens or foreigners in Ghana and most of West and East Afrika. What is available are long term leaseholds. If anyone tells you otherwise, request that they confirm that such a change is accounted for in the consitution. If they balk or hesitate, leave them alone. Consider you just dodged a bullet!
Why don’t they fight the Chinese because they own 1/3 of Ghana not due to African Americans but due to their own corruption in there government. Why do these people always try to push the blame on African Americans clearly the enemy isn’t us. I was in Ghana a few years ago and was shocked that an Indian man dug out an entire street with no permits. The hole 🕳️ was so large that you could have fit to buildings into it. Who just lets someone come to there country and completely digs out a major road?
The Chinese do not own land in Ghana. It’s CAP. There is no such thing as freehold title in Ghana for foreigners or non citizens.. What is available is long term leaseholds, 50 year tenure..
Old news all what u talking about is now in place Please try and talk about the good things that is happening at the pan African village also Some of the diasporas have been installed as chiefs and many have built their houses Many are still buying land and whiteout any issues It’s enough of the negative news try and balance it with positive ones to thanks
those who should not go please stay the heck away.. no one calls U there.. in fact let me help you there... we crawl on all fours and eat dirt for breakfast lunch and dinner..
FACTS: most of the diaspora are true Hebrew Israelite Descendants today. We’re the chosen ones of The MOST HIGH YAHUAH who covenanted with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. THE MOST HIGH charged us not to leave in haste where we are for africa, but to follow HIM, for he will be our rearguard. Our problem is, we reject the truth of who we really are, do what we want, and pay for it.
If most of the diaspora are Hebrew Osrealites then why even look at west Afrika, where most of the ethnic nations have KEMETIC rooots? Why seek to be hooked to Hamites, as opposed to seeking a return to the promised land, per the covenant with Abram?
@BonsuBigWhale They believe the Buybull (Bible) literally without decoding the esoteric knowledge within the exoteric knowledge. We West Afurakans are indeed of Kamitians or Kamites ancestry and yet the so called Hebrew Israelites (pseudos) have deluded themselves to spread lies and deception.
Is it amazing that people from America where nothing is free, people who understand that there is no such thing as free lunch, will go to a poor country like Ghana and expect to be handed out free land including all the administrative costs that come with land survey, land title registration and ownership? How much does that kand cost anyway to pay for and own with pride and contribute something to the motherland. Rather you want to take everything for free just like your oppressors. Kudos! They taught you their ways and schemes real good.
Americans be careful of jealous Africans who may want to do you harm simply because you have land. But its crazy how you dont hear this about the chinese and others taking their land.
Free? It would be so sad if you built homes and businesses on that free land and you are forced to leave it. Then those homes and businesses would belong to the owner of that "free" land. Lets not be naive. Business is business.
No where in the world can you get land for free. All land belongs to somebody or to the govt. The Africans don't want you there on a permanent basis. Culturally both groups are too different. Don't do that land "grab" in Kenya as it wont end well. Go read up on the Mau Mau uprising and be warned................
EVEN WE GHANAIANS DON’T GET FREE LAND , SO HOW MUCH MORE THE DIASPORAS. ALSO WE GHANAIANS ARE ALSO SCAMMED WHEN BUYING LAND, SO YOU SHOULD BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN BUYING LAND
Ur right sir its should handle different. The native should be able to be including to buy land i knew it would cause problems with the native. I was planning and getting a lot in asebu. And when i thought about it and i change my mind bcause of this problem ,all i saw is the african american just for themselves only and no conversations about the native. And how are they helping, its all about bragging about moving to africa and how big there compound is massive.ur right seriously on this matter
Elder brother please show an example of real diaspora councils working with local people and their eldership! Mainly what happens is that the family who own the land speak to the people about the land being sold.
This should not be happening.No one should tell the chiefs that they should give lands to the community. How is the community standard of living going to improve if are holding on to the lands and allowing the community to develop the land? I mean no disrespect to the elders. No one is going to benefit of they continue to operate in this way.
Elder Sir, please be mindful that our ancestors land was stolen from them by those same large tribes that are there today, Ashanti. We have a right to ask for our land back
@@multyz1 , we dont care how western you can live, you never developed the same as Europeans. When we left Africa non of your fake nations existed, you are still colonized loving in colonized Europeans founded and owned countries. Stop the cap. We are the original Africans
@@carribgirl007stop it. Afrika is a continent with many ethnic nations, not a unitary state. None of the current nations expect existed during the transatlantic slave trade. And depending on where your ancestors originated from, there is a good chance that they too were responsible for sending many over across the Atlantic before finding themselves on a boat headed in the same direction.
It's plenty of LAND in the continent of Africa 🌍 the truth is if we go with a FACE (TRIBE) FIRST..... and a military 🪖 medical field 💊💉... architecture and population within the continent so that time can give us African American a civilization and villages of our own to ALIGN WITH OTHERS
This man doesn’t know what he is talking about about and I can tell you it is true that they have a free land in central region , I’m a Ghanaian and I live in Canada , I know it is free land there , but the only thing that you have to do is when you get the land you have to register it , that’s how it works , the man is lying.
This guy speaks like someone who has LIVED there and UNDERSTAND the culture. African Americans are Individualistic and don’t know words like “elders”, “council”, “community”. When you go to Rome, do what Romans do, so therefore apply the same to Ghana, Africa and integrate. Don’t go there with a closed mindset and expect to be given stuff for free. Learn the people, their values, and your stay will be made easier. That’s what we did when we came to USA and discovered all these hidden “fees” in the immigration process.
Mr. Man, if you buy land legally from a Ghanaian nobody can take away from you. This is the law in Ghana,and I'm originally from Ghana so take it seriously and don't say what you don't know.
The paramount chief must terminate this program. The manufactured allegations are getting out of hand. Those who want to build should purchase their own plots and build. Some people are just out there to cause confusion. Please terminate it, plain and simple. Enough is enough.
HE KNOW WHAT HE IS DONG HIM SELF. SCAMMING THE DIASPORA TO MAKE THEM FEEL IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET LAND OR CITIZENSHIP., THEN THEY CAN JOIN HIS ORGANISATION.
