Why I got Arrested In Kenya 

this is ALL TRUE

I'm Kenyan and trust me, our police department is the worst in the history of civilization

The day African start loving themselves is the day Africa start developing.

Sorry bro for that experience... Being a Kenyan am embarrassed.. We love you bro.

who is watching this 2020, sad story wlh😢😢😢

I am a Kenyan and I have been to Ethiopia, South Sudan, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia and Tanzania and all I received within those countries is love. on behalf of all Kenyans of goodwill, apologies for the bad experience..

The White man have succeeded in separating Africa. That's why Africa is still behind in everything. Africa we need to love ourselves.

I am a Kenyan and that's exactly how Kenyan police behave and respect the whites more than their own people even Kenyans it's a shame I truly apologize for this behaviour.

Kenya is a beautiful country but corruption is killing it badly

One time I was in the country they asked me if I was African I said yes. They treated me bad but when I started talking and he saw my passport I was a black American they treated me like royalty the world is crazy

This is crazy! I hope this video go viral in Kenya!

The same thing happen to me bro I even use to say that I will treat Kenyan in my Country the way that they have treated me but I forgive them for God's sake

This brought tears to my eyes.. A man like you who is bring Africa positives to the world and is being treated like this just shows how divided and manipulated we are as Africans. One love my brother. Don't let these few bad experiences stop you from spreading the love.

I used live in Kenya Kenyan police don't respect their own people kenyan people are most kindest on the world very good neighbors h that i have never seen. But Kenyan police uses their power wrong way

Sorry bro. I am ashamed as a Kenyan. I've been to Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda and been treated with nothing but love

This is very very true. I lived in Kenya for three years.

As a Kenyan am very sorry for what happened

Kenyan police are brutal even with its citizens.

This is sad how Africans dont respect our own

You are doing a great job of revealing the truth, the good and the bad, of Africa, in your own way. Keep it up brother. Your passion for Africa is incredible! I am Ethiopian African. Your passion reminds me of the great leader of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah. Best wish!

Thank you 🙏 for letting us to hear about it

Damn! That happens in Africa too? That’s some shady Jim Crow era type shit on that airplane! I’m glad you stood your ground and said no. That’s crazy.

Sorry man about that experience. Am a kenyan and apologies. Our policemen are very corrupt.

Very sorry about what happened to you then....you've been back and I hope your experience has been different. Keep going Wode.

A white man can never ever! ever! ever shout in my country somali 🙏 proud to be AFRICAN❤️❤️

I had similar experience in Kenya and Gambia. I recalled one instance an indian guy stepped on my feet without apologising. He actually looked me in the eye and said nothing. I had to let him know I'm not a Kenyan one time. I said if you don't apologise right now I will come there and make you do it before he apologised. In Nigeria you don't try this crap. And there's no way I would let that happen to me in England. I can't face discrimination in UK and get that in Africa. Hell no! Most Kenyan women think black men are nothing when they see a white man in a bar. That shit needs to stop. That why I love Nigeria.

This would not happen in Zimbabwe...the Lion Robert Mugabe taught us how to treat the white man!!!

Thank u so much for experiencing this thing in Africa, I love ur video big up bro

This’s so sad! Wodenaya pls keep doing what you do God bless you❤️❤️🙏🙏

You were not causing trouble in Kenya, just fighting for your rights, really ashamed for Kenya. Jah bless

It is great to hear about Kenya from a fellow African. This may help us to change in time. Your work has not been in vain.

What a diplomatic young man. The Kenyan shirt, the genuine compliments and honest raw account of his experience with corrupt Police and poor customer service. Pole sana Wode Maya Karibu Tena - We must do better.

Sorry bro, we apologize for what happened to you... From Kenya 🇰🇪

Trust me I'm kenyan and i hate what kenya is turning into.

Well said my brother, I'm from Jamaica and the same thing you are talking about is widespread in the Caribbean here, we as black people need to do better

Great message bro. Love is getting cold everywhere.

Please keep brining more light to these things, thank you for exposing, its so sad.

This is Nairobi bro, They treat everyone the same weather you from East Africa or South Africa, they only respect their Master.

It was very unfortunate that you went through this. As kenyans, we regret what you went through. Actually Kenya police are the leading unprofessional civil servants. They treat even fellow kenyans the same way they treated you. About not being helped by the civilians, you must understand that the city is called NAIROBBERY. Everybody suspects his neighbor in Kenya. Even kids suspect their parents. Its the city of OGs.

I love you bro. Keep up the good work, may "The Most High" bless you.

Mode Maya thank you for this video.I was thinking of going to Kenya on Safari but that has ended now.I will continue to tour the whole of Europe.

I'm sorry you had to go through that. In order to change the culture. There must be more videos like this to address the issue.

Let me say you're greatest youtubers ever seen. Plz come and visit Sudan.

This is a beautiful message! We were taught self hate and in turn we hate others who look like us.....we must break this meaningless cycle among Africans all over the world! Much love from Chicago.

I can record videos in Dubai, Singapore, Europe but not in Nairobi... You're not alone they arrested me as well despite being a kenyan

As a Kenyan we r very very sorry for what happened to you,it's my first tym to watch your videos Maya.

Brother #Maya I'm from 🇸🇴🇸🇴#Somalia and I used to live in Kenya it's normal life police Kenyan to asking you money they took my money out of my pocket with out question so don't be surprised so you the lucky if they don't check out your pocket with money

Keep revealing the truth Wode!

Maya continue the good work. I support you in everything.

My brother I am really sorry for the way this police men treated you. But I just wanted to tell you that it is not just because you're from West Africa (Ghana). I am an Ethiopian. I went to Kenya this same year on Oct.2 and the way they treated me at the airport was so humiliating. That day I said these people must have some kind of problem with us (Ethiopians). But it is not the case bro. The real problem is we Africans have no respect for each other and it is every where on the continent. So annoying!

Bru..we go through the same..in our country..i feel like you read my mind..thank you for exposing this

So sorry you went though this, don’t let it get you down.

I love your work and what God is using you to do in Africa, bro. I'm half Liberian, half Nigerian and a UK National. I have been to many countries in the world, I know exactly what you are saying. I feel more safe in the west than in some of these African countries, cos of the hate for my other half. It is a big shame! It's really sad what you had to go through, but always remember you are a man with a purpose and vision. These experiences are making you stronger and more equipped for your calling. You can't give what you don't have, you know..... Gods blessings and protection over you. This great work He has started in you, He must surely complete it.

We are just accepting ourselves the way they have painted us, I cried watching this videos pls we really need to change.

Kenyan police treat everyone like that bro not just you even us kenyan citizens so bro its not about you being ghananian or not its all about the corruption in the country.,we are really sorry bro for what happened to you

OMG! I’ve watched you all day long. Where was I? What an enlightened young guy. Subscribe. ✅

Wow. I got surprised. I had the exact same experience in Nairobi 2 yrs ago. I'm from Japan and visited Kenya for the business purpose. When I walked on the street, ununiformed police men shouted at me saying I was arrogant and called me an illegal Chinese worker with no evidence. Unfortunately, I did not carry my passport. That gave them a chance to take advantage. I was handcuffed, taken to the police station and intimidated. Luckily, my friend came and he helped me get out from the situation. They just wanted to squeeze some money from us. Anyway, I always get inspired by your contents. Keep it up!!

Africa will never change, we always think that the others race are superior than us😭

Brother it's really heart breaking In your own continent they treat you like a foreigner.. Smh Africa still have a long way to go.corruption and bribery has eaten so much from us.

Awwwwww sorry about your experience. You made me so sad. You doing a good job. God bless you. You got a subscriber

Wode Maya, Kenyans are a very warm & welcoming people. You are welcome a million times. I spent 26 years in the hospitality industry making visitors feel comfortable & relaxed. Accept my apologies as a Kenyan & a professional. With love from Diani beach ⛱️🏖️.

That's why Ghana is totally different from other African countries

I'm from Tanzania and I had almost the same incident happening to me in 2009, held at a central police station in Nairobi while I had all the permits only that I didn't give them money until evening they released me and it was dark, lost my day...I just had to find a lodge and sleep very upset. Our neighbors have to change because we destroy our credit to tourists attraction for the whole east Africa .

This young man is a blessing facts

I am really sorry that has happened to you. You are a young man who promotes what we all want, which is African unity. I wish you the best.

Come to Morocco we will treat you good, we love our African brothers.

as a Kenyan I'm so sorry you had to go through this

Keep it up you are good at this ... You have a good presence and attitude ..

Thanks for the insight. At least I know now what to watch out for if I even go to Kenya. I wanted to visit but after this video I have to reconsider. Please recommend good African country to visit. I really appreciate your content and please continue to share these type of information. I know they are bad but they are good insight. Stay blessed bruh!!!

Came to watch this for the second time but ,we have to share this video till Kenyans and Africans change

I am ugandan living in Texas usa. i was so sad to hear how our immigration officers treated you.. when are you visiting America in texas and see the Alamo dorm of San antonio. i support you. Wode Maya. keep on traveling GOD WILL PROTECT YOU ALWAYS..

Thats a powerfull video. I'll defo spread it around! I am from Congo-Kinshasa and I currently live in London. I've been to Kenya 3 times and I must say it's a beautiful country. Sorry for what happened to you bro! You have good and bad things everywhere on the planet no matter where you're from it's sad but that's the way things are unfortunately! Well done for the way you handled that situation in that restaurant at the West Gate mall tho.

I Love you my brother WODE MAYA, I love your spirit and motivations keep moving high God bless you?

We love you bro.. Kenya is good

I am an African American / and I had no idea that the Unity in Africa was not as close or tight as I had always dreamed of. This is all over the world with Our Black Skin People. The reason I am shocked is because I was living in Spain and was lost in Madrid as I lived in Torrejon at the time and a African Brother helped me to get to my destination as which he lived in Spain and worked there was, if I remember was from Morocco. I also met another in Spain from The Ivory Coast, and invited me to The Mother Land …. But I had no Idea that the African Unity was so distant from one another …. I have so much to learn

It happens all over the continent. A time will come when we all will become united.

Just watched your videos after you mentioned your experience on African Traveller channel. I am sure he has cleared why things happen the way they do in Nairobi.

Oh gosh i'm sorry you had to go through this! I am even ashamed as Kenyan

This is very informative! I am an American but I claim Ghana as my ancestral home. This video has opened my eyes to alot.

Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work. Im watching you from California. I"m a middle aged American. Maybe our paths will cross in some African Country in 2021. I will give you a big grandson hug. Take care of yourself. We understand. You are a soldier for what Africa will be in the future. The young ones are listening to you. Africa is the best country. Love you son take care of yourself

Nice work WODE MAYA

@WodeMaya your videos are inspiring! as a black man of mixed white origin, who lives in Canada, my dad is from Grenada, prior to that his descendants were taking from some nations of West Africa. I have been on a learning journey which started as looking at African-American lectures and history to quantify and understand my blackness from a black perspective rather than the European one which was forced on me (us) than got drawn to Africa to study the Exceptional a global history and contributions, am starting to feel like we (African/Black/African-American & African Caribbean & and all the Diaspora) need a Renaissance of African knowledge (African and Africans who went outside Africa who faced the wrath of European colonialism to correct the damage that has been done to our mind before we can make and take action to regain who we are and were. So thank you for being yourself and speaking what is true. Thank you!

WoW CRAZY STORY MRGHANABABY....................KEEEP THE VIDEOS COMING................

OMG, this is sad. Just bumped into this video. As a Kenyan I'm embarrassed. Hope things are better for you now. Ayaa Maya!

Ehhhh I love you all my Nigerian brothers and sisters, and of course more love to you wodemaya.hailing you all Ghanaians brother,,,, one love,,,up Africa

As a Kenyan man I’m very sorry Unfortunately our own people disrespect you

This is what Dr. Arikana Chihombori quao has been talking about in term of what the colonizer has done to our people.

I even regrets booking the Kenyan airway to my country. This is self hatred

Absolutely this true and it happens in Kenya

Really so sad Maya, but no worries big up bro👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 much love!!!!!!!

Don't give up my brother we like your emission and sorry for that

Glad you didn’t give up your seat...Africa was colonized by foreigners so the mindset of the people has to change.

So sorry bro. That is how they treat even us, native Kenyans...funny enough, when i show my Texas driver's license, I get the red carpet rolled out

Thank you Woody Maya

God bless you for taking us through African countries and for telling us the truth about them. Please continue and never be afraid to telling us the truth, the truth will protect you. Much love from London United Kingdom.
