Love the crossover with @Ace, he did a great job 👏 As someone with roots in Barbados I will always respect our Haitian brothers and sisters 🏆 All guidance and provision on your path Nelson Noel !!
The Black World owes Haiti a great deal of gratitude. The first black republic on earth and they were punished for this fact. Let's come together and help uplift Haiti through cooperative economics. Africa free trade agreement should extend to the Caribbean and Haiti
I'm from Congo 🇨🇬, I have Haitians friends and my girlfriend is also from there. They eat wakey (riz collé) just like in Ghana and many other African countries. I'm discovering that we have so many things in common culturally and I feel like we come from neighboring countries. One day my friend said he was going to eat Manba and I asked him what is Manba? He answered: peanut butter. I was like really? 😳. In Congo we call peanut butter mwamba. Ganga is priest in Haiti and in Congo Nganga means priest. That's an absolute proof that we are sons of the same mother. I love you brothers and sisters from🇭🇹. ❤️❤️❤️
I’m a Kenyan living in Boston,Massachusetts and there’s a huge Haitian community over here.some of my closest homies are Haitians.Love to all Haitians and peace and black power to all Africans……..🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
I would like to make more friend with African people here in Florida wè dnt find that much the only one African friend that I have he’s from Ghana 🇬🇭 all I knw if I lived in the state like Boston New York Georgia I would have so many as friend wè all r the same but we just speaking a different language respect bro 🙏🏼😉
@@WODEMAYA Good morning Wode Maya, You are doing a great job, I am from Haiti, respect to you Brother, you are the voice of Africa and black people all over the world. May God bless you.
Going to West Africa was one of my best dicision . Ganhaans thought I was Ganhaan. Nigerians thought I was Nigerian. It always a pleasure to be with the people of the Nigerland.
@@WODEMAYA great video mi nnua beyma (translate what i said in Twi)! One thing to keep in mind brother, there’s also Arawak-Taino Indians, the Guanahatabey Indians, and the Arawak Carib Indians. They are dark-skinned but they don’t show their faces in media as often… People that have Melanin skin are found all over the world. If it weren’t for Mother Haiti, we might’ve never been freed of the oppression we faced in the past 🇭🇹💙❤️ We’ve been historically brainwashed to think that we are inferior to the Albino European White-skinned people that ultimately descended from Europe. It is a fact in science that they are not genetically or biologically supreme but they go to any effort to continue this lie & enrich themselves… Once I’m walking again I’d love to discuss all these predictions & topics that could literally shape the future of our continent of Africa, Caribbean, etc. and liberate us from the horrors of our history as Dr. PLO Lumumba always talks about. I can message you on IG or wherever you’re on social media brother whenever you see this.
I was very moved when i saw that there is a porridge in Haiti called Akasan. We Togolese eat the same porridge Akasan with pellets. Love and greetings from Togo.
Wode Maya, thanks for this vlog on Haiti, who because of language barrier (French) is often left out of English language discussions. I am Jamaican living in the USA who discuss Haiti with many Haitian friends from work and my Catholic parish with a Haitian Priest/Pastor. Many of my Haitian friends are hard working and highly educated (doctors, engineers etc) so they have the ability to build their country. On vacation in Savannah, Georgia, USA, there is a monument to the Haitian soldiers from Saint Dominique/Haiti who fought, on the side of Americans, in the War of Independence. The aspiring President has a vision but he is not a dictator. So I pray for unity among Haitians, with cooperation and less outside interference, to rebuild Haiti, the Pearl of the Caribbean. This Jamaican American wants Haiti to shine!!!
Haiti being strangled.In a headlock by the whites (US & EU). Haiti needs to be part of AU. We need to invest in infrastructure in Haiti. Haiti is the first black republic.
For me I am an haïtien and my ancestors are from Nigeria and Ghana and I decided to move to Africa because I think African will be respected when Africa become strong.
That's my belief too. Africa must be free and strong because you cannot fight elsewhere without a land of retreat in peace. But, the battles must continue wherever we are, until the final victory.
@Rashad Bakshar I did my ancestry with African Ancestry and that are the result I got, African Ancestry is black own and they have the must African DNA simple.
I'm Somali. I admire Haiti. A country of amazing culture and beauty. A country of painters. A country of color. I support Haiti to be part of AU and for Africans to invest in Haiti.
I am so proud of you! Even though you have been adopted, your heart still shines for your beloved Country. I have been living out for forty-one years. I miss my Country very much every single day of my life. Thank you for your kind heart for your native Country. You are the future.
I'm Somali. I admire Haiti. A country of amazing culture and beauty. A country of painters. A country of color. I support Haiti to be part of AU and for Africans to invest in Haiti.
As an African I spent one year in Haïti, there is no country other than Africa where I felt home! Haiti is just wonderful, people are nice, the food is beyond tasty, the sky is ever blue ... the list goes on! As my teacher used to say " Haiti 🇭🇹 is tbe mecca of black people"
Both the US and France have never stopped causing chaos in Haiti for more than 200 years till today. That is why they were behind assassinating the former leader of Haiti last year, 2021, and encouraging different gangs to destabilize the country. My wish is to see the country peaceful and prosperous. I wish our brother success in achieving his goal of leading Haiti.
They want to change our constitution which states that non haitian foreigners can own land in haiti. This is what the fight is about with us against them. The spirit of Jean Jacque Dessalines is coming back on our people. Ewe people of Haiti, stand up.
And same oppressors do in Africa. As we're trying to establish ATfCT (one common economy and connect to the Caribbean) the enemy within & outside manufactured coupe d'tar, tossed in chaos and throws us back over and over, again n' again🇬🇭🌎
It will happen our great ancestors are back and we are working together we are getting back everything and more that was stolen but guess we have to change our mindset and remember that we are spiritual beings having human experience
Was in Haiti in 2018, I traveled there because I realized I needed no visa as a Namibian. I visited Port au Prince, Jacmel and Les Cayes; I loved Les Cayes the most 🥰😍. I absolutely love the people and their hospitality. I felt so at home. It sure is a beautiful country and it would be paradise with a right leader ✊🏿✊🏿
Haiti will rise again and my people shall come back to the motherland. The time to do it is now! Haitians are coming back home soon. Thanks to Wode Maya!!!!
Good job !!:) I’m white american .. I went to Haiti 2016 to help on a mobile clinic for the people .. was so overwhelmed by the situation decided to go back and founded an orphanage in the country currently housing 10 orphans and helping many others .. met my husband there ! Haitian .. his family is also involved with caring for the neighbors but what astonishes me is that they themselves barely have anything but continue to share .. true Christians.. we recently purchased a house there after renting for years housing children but needing more room ! I encourage other people to do the same … it’s life changing :) God sees our efforts . Psalm 41:1-3
Thank you so much WODE MAYA for this wonderful video 🙏🥰🥰I will be very happy if they can join African Union but I think the west will not allowed them to join because they’re afraid of Haitians people 🇭🇹 They know if Haiti 🇭🇹Joined African Union they’ll be no chance for them again. Toussaint Louverture once said “I TOOK UP ARMS FOR THE FREEDOM OF MY COLOR. IT IS OUR OWN-WE WILL DEFEAT IT OR PERISH”. Love my Haitians brothers and sisters from Nigeria 🇳🇬
I'm Somali. I admire Haiti. A country of amazing culture and beauty. A country of painters. A country of color. I support Haiti to be part of AU and for Africans to invest in Haiti.
But haitians aren't africa but have ancestors blood they caribbean and blacl saying african means you coming straight from an african country president it better you say black
Blessings to my brothers and sisters in Haiti from the fellow Creole nation of Saint Lucia. Haiti is home to the world's first and only successful slave revolution. The vision of a prosperous, stable, successful Haiti can and by God's grace will be realized. Africa and the Caribbean must unite! 🇱🇨🇭🇹
One thing I know about Haiti is that, they have the best coffee and are very friendly, but there's also some kind of pain in them as how their country has been deserted. Haiti Women are as beautiful as my voltarian women in Ghana. Haitians are nice people.
Although there’s sometimes scuffles/competition between jamaicans🇯🇲 & Haitians🇭🇹 our two nations are really brothers & sisters One Love from Rasta to Haiti The rest of the carribean and the entire Melinated Diaspora Blessings to Haiti ✊🏿🇭🇹
Jamaicans were part of our Revolution, same people. And in our unfortunate civil fights, many Haitians dignitaries have found refuge in Jamaica and became Jamaicans till today.
I didn't know so many Haitians like me watch your channel. I guess when you are authentic, truthful and love people, there's no boundaries. We are a source, a power, we are strong 🇭🇹. Love from Haiti 🇭🇹
Haïti is not just the first black Republic, we are also the first country to recognize Greece independence, we also helped other countries such as the USA gain their independence (battle of Savannah 1779). Haïti also helped Simon Bolivar the leader who led Venezuela, Colombia, Peru to independence. In 1816 General Martin Javier Mina traveled to Haïti to request support to free Mexico from Spain. Thank you for this amazing episode Wode Maya. 🇭🇹
Wode Maya, you are one of the greatest men alive. Being from Jamaica, Haiti is very important to us. Remember this. You are going to be key to reuniting Haiti to africa. Selah
Heyyyy sak pase to all my Zoe’s 🇭🇹🇭🇹 we Haitian people love Africa and we want to go back to our mother land may peace be upon you wode maya for bringing such a positivity about Haiti even tho the western media always portrayed us as being the bad ones
@WodeMaya I am an Haitian woman living outside of Haiti 🇭🇹. Thank you for taking the step to made that wonderful interview about Haiti 🇭🇹. I know that Haiti is a part of Africa. And I ❤ Africa. Ps...You should stop by one day. I always likes and shares your VIDEOS. God bless!
I am crying right now. I also stayed in school 3 days without food before. Whenever I see someone hungry I become sad. Please guys let's help this man to become Haiti president 🙏
I subscribed to this channel two years ago...watching your videos always took me on a journey to the motherland. Now seeing my country 🇭🇹 on this channel, makes me feel so good…Haiti has a Rich history and culture, but the west refuse to take their foot off its neck. Great video….Thank You !🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹💪🏾
Great video I never thought my favorite African RU-vidr will be talk about our beautiful Caribbean nation. I am from cap Haitian living in the Kentucky United states.
Black African American here who's DNA goes back to Cameroon... We in the west know our Haitian brothers are from Africa like all of us who's been taken from Africa against our will...
I am an african born in Haiti, we are proud africans. Even living outside of africa we have africa in our hearts, and taught at a young age that’s where we are from and to love it. I’ve been watching wode maya, for a long time, and I love the work that your are doing. We love Africa!!! One love✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
We love you Haiti 🇭🇹 yes it should be apart of Africa we just need to support them more through agriculture and other materials to help them build a strong Haiti 🇭🇹
I'm Somali. I admire Haiti. A country of amazing culture and beauty. A country of painters. A country of color. I support Haiti to be part of AU and for Africans to invest in Haiti.
🇭🇹We know that we are African !! Exactly!! We are Haitians that just purchase land in the Volta because Ghana is one of the places that except Haitians as Africans as they should we are melanin people of African descent first! before any other titles that have been chosen for all Africans during slavery ! Nou se Afriken an premye! Bravo- I’m not with the political stuff but great video Maya..
Haití is my favorite vacation spot in the World! It’s so secluded that I don’t want the world to know about it 😂😂🤣 I went to Dom. Rep and the beaches was full of people to the point I couldn’t really enjoy! Then I crossed the border man I was the only one at the beach and the water looked blue just like in Turks and Caicos and it made sense! I could see Turks and Caicos from where I was at! Now I know why the Clintons love vacationing there. I went to the Citadelle and I believe I was the only tourist which I enjoyed compared to going to Chichén Itza in Mexico full of people! Haiti’s beauty is underrated!!! 🇭🇹
Men don't tell people that. You're giving my vacation spot away also Gonaives beaches are so beautiful. I went fishing enjoy the lobster. The food OMG. Haiti has the best food ever.
The problem is that most people visiting the Dominican Republic only go to some few known places (Punta Cana, Bávaro, Sosua and Boca chica) those places are overly crowded because that’s what the government advertises, so many people think that’s all DR has to offer when that’s not even the 20% the DR can offer, we locals have our own share of beaches where we can be in touch with the nature and away from the crowds 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃.
Wode Maya I was watching a video of Malika when I was this video about my country 🇭🇹 🇭🇹 Haiti. Wode thank you for this video you make me see African in a different way I love so much. My biggest dream is to come to Africa. I am so in love with Africa words can’t explain how much I love Africa. Thanks to you by watching your video that’s how Africa became in my heart ❤️ Love you 😘 and your work Wode. God bless you!!
Thank you Wode Maya for this great video. I am a Haitian man who left Haiti 22 years ago and has not been back home since I left at the age of 16. I can't wait to go back home and to be one with my resilient people. God bless Africa and God bless Haiti.
Yes I think we as Africans must accept Haiti to be part of Africa ,the culture is so similar & their history is so rich! shout out to Toussaint Louverture!!
God bless the Haitian people. Very hard-working and very loving people. Throughout the entire Caribbean Africa has a strong footprint. I myself from Trinidad and Tobago have Nigerian, Benin and Cameroon in my blood. I confirm this with a DNA test. I’m very proud of my mixed heritage. I have had the pleasure to visit Haiti three times from Miami. I also had the pleasure of living several years in East Africa Ethiopia and Kenya. Africa is my favorite continent because of its diversity, complexity natural and beauty. Thank you for sharing this amazing video. I hope that the new president will be successful.
@@Zaha_z don't worry I will help him to be there . Your brother from south Sudan . Burn and grow up in white Nile state Rabak.[sudan] currently in Uganda.
Thank you for positive shedding a light on Haiti 🇭🇹❤️. All Black people around the world should know the history of Haiti. Wode Maya you need to visit Haiti.
"we are in transition between healing and building...this new Haiti will build with Africa" that is very deep man. Let me also urge you all Africans in diaspora that if you do come to Ghana, make it a point to visit northern Ghana. There's is rich cultural heritage up here you will learn from.
Thanks again Wode Maya... your platform is now on higher level...we love you, we support you, and no weapon that is form will ever prosper...TEK IT TO THEM MY LEADER...AFRICA FOR AFRICANS.
Outstanding and informative. We Haitians are the African of the west and we embrace our Afrocentrism like no other in the Caribbean. Thank you for bringing it to those who didn’t know our history. Kudos!!!!
He need the backing if the continent and Carricom...tje West deliberately gets into Haiti's business for their own gain..it is time we put them in their place..
I have mad respect for Haitians. I respect Haitians than fellow African born black people. If we had 1/10th of the moral fibre and mental toughness of Haitians. Africa will be great again.
"Haiti!" By David M. Rudder Verse 1: Toussaint was a mighty man And to make matters worse he was black Black and back in the days when black men knew Their place was in the back But this rebel still walked through Napoleon Who thought it wasn’t very nice And so today my brothers in Haiti They still pay the price. Chorus: Yeah, Yeah, Haiti I’m sorry We misunderstood you One day we’ll turn our heads And look inside you Haiti, I’m sorry Haiti, I’m sorry One day we’ll turn our heads Restore your glory. Verse 3: When there is anguish in Port au Prince It’s still Africa crying We are outing fires in far away places When our neighbours are just burning They say the middle passage is gone So how come Overcrowded boats still haunt our lives I refuse to believe that we good people Would forever turn our hearts And our eyes . . . away. Written and performed for the funeral of author of famous book on the Haitian Revolution "The Black Jacobin," C. L. R. James. RiP.
Thank you Wode Maya for highlighting Haiti and her struggles! Haiti is the most African of countries living outside of the physical borders of Africa. Hait has pleaded with African Union to accept it as a member state and I think it should be WELCOMED as an African country with all the rights! Haiti did so much for black people all over the world. They taught blacks that they were not inferior and could indeed gain independence from their colonial masters if they so wished. In today's world, that idea is tantamount to a tiny African country daring a global nuclear superpower to a conflict. Let all black people around the world embrace HAIT and let the African Union grant the country's application to join the African Union!
France and other colonial powers are still in charge of African Union indirectly. Is very sad. African Union must welcome Haiti as a new member in the organization without delay because of the Haitian history. Small island that defeats great power of Napoleon at that time in Europe.
@@oseniajayi51 The African Union needs a real revolution and it is already underway because the people no longer support the vision implemented by the current teams.
@@oseniajayi51 France isn't in charge of AU as you may dream. It merely controls Francophone Africa. In the same way, the British heavily influence anglophones. Although African countries can do better for their people if the leaders were not so corrupt. That is the story for another day. However, as a union, Neither the British nor the French or Americans can control African Union. A good recent example is the refusal of Au to condemn Russia. Even though they didn't quite agree with Russia's unilateral action of invading Ukraine as a way to address its grievances.
Thanks!! They were the warriors who even went to fight for some S. American countries during their struggles for independents. And so Haiti were hated by the colonizers🇬🇭
Good job Woda. I'm Jamaican and everytime I try to big up Africa and promote it these fellow Jamaicans talk down on Africa and say the false narrative. Most Jamaicans are ignorant to the fact that most African countries are by far more economically stable and have better GDP, there're more peaceful with more morals. Jamaicans are too Europeanize and Americanize and have lost their african roots and Culture
@Rashad Bakshar Haiti is the first black to gain independence and we were doing that way before Jamaica just got independence the other day. Why you talking about Jamaica under Haiti post?
Thanks for producing such a deep dive on our country of Haiti. We all watch your content and appreciate Haiti finally making it to Wode Maya! Next? You actually visiting. And we hope to connect with you there when that day comes.
I'm Somali. I admire Haiti. A country of amazing culture and beauty. A country of painters. A country of color. I support Haiti to be part of AU and for Africans to invest in Haiti.
What Haiti also needs is real solidarity from our fellow West Indians and Africans. Haiti has stood alone too long while the white Western world nations have sought and continue to seek to bring her to her knees. Haiti has aided so many, yet hardly anyone wants to aid her in her time of need.
Great video Wode Maya! Finally some coverage on Haiti🇭🇹! We will rise as a nation because the diaspora wants to see it happen and we believe we can change it. Also I totally agree that Haiti should be part of the African Union. I’ve been saying that for years. Thank you for using your platform to bring insight.
You do have many Haitian viewers including myself. I'm glad you discovered the first free black republic! Welcome Wodamaya. They killed the president one year ago. He was the first the install a dark skinned black woman as first Lady and not to disgrace us for people of none black origin as did all previous presidents. Jovenel Moise will live forever. Contreras Le Racism en Haiti 🇭🇹
Went to 🇭🇹 some years ago, the most warm & loving people. 🇭🇹 is held in very high regards among the Caribbean countries. First independence, Defeating France. Haiti is in this poor condition today because France USA keeps it that way. Hoping for progress but wondering why he is so proud to speak of Bill Clinton when he is a big part of the problem. Wada maya so glad you are talking about 🇭🇹 they are a very important part of history & the future.
Dearest brother, thank you for this great and positive message. You are a blessing to humanity. I’m a child of Haiti and for me I claim the entire continent as my own.
Actually Haita applied to join the AU but our former slave masters could not let that happen they bribed and manipulated our leaders to reject the application. It just benefit them to keep Haiti poor with no relationship with Africa. I think they should apply again Africa is transforming and developing rapidly.
Thank you for shining some lights on Haiti 🇭🇹. It’s saddening to see how our so called friends destroyed my beautiful country. I do believe with every fiber of my life Haiti will rise again.
We in Jamaica stand in solitary with our Haitian brothers and sisters with Haiti we in Jamaica and the rest of the Caribbean will never gain our freedom without Haiti fighting against the oppressors
