Only cowards in Africa will be hating what this young man is doing for the continent. Continue brother non-stop. You have major support from Africans. One love
@@NewmaticKe do you understand the difference between being arrested or questioning? And secondly wode Maya was perceived to be an internet fraudster because he was seen with a laptop in public...now you can answer your question yourself😁😁
I'm an African American and I enjoy watching your videos they help me to decide what country I would like to visit and where I would like to stay so thank you for the work you're doing.
Kim you have to be careful when choosing the country to move to because some of our people are very jealous and envious too they don't give correct information on the ground
I went to Nigeria with my family last year from Florida USA . When We got to the airport immigration , they gave us such hard time for no reason . Only to find out later they were doing that so we could give them money . We didn’t know the level of corruption that exists there . I bit they wouldn’t do that to a white family . Africa needs to show love and respect for your own kind .
There is hope and there is exposure of the evil- doers. Back in 1984 I went to India (my grandparents country) for the first time since that generation were taken by British to an island in the South Pacific. My mom and dad died never being able to go visit thier parents land/country/ people. My husband at that time was from India but had lived overseas since he was 19 and had not been back there for over a decade. They arrested him and took me to a room by myself for questioning. They accused him of being a terrorist. That I knew wasn't true since I knew him for several years before I was married to him. I asked the top guy to put me in touch with American Embassy since I was an American citizen and had proper visa and had no reason to be detained. They didn't know I had taught myself Hindu language and understood all that they had said. The top guy at Delhi International Airport asked me why we were there so I spoke Hindi with an American accent ( lol) and told him I was keeping a promise I had made to my dead parents to visit their parents land and people. I told him how and when my grandparents and my dad who was 5- 7 yr old were snatched by British agents and put on a ship and taken to an island about 75 years ago. Yes Indians were put into slavery by the British White Royal Crown dogs! The man listened and had tears in his eyes, he told one of his workers to get 3 cups of tea and some biscuits and told told another of his assistants to get my husband. He called those who arrested us to his office and made them apologize to us and told them to be ashamed of themselves for mistreating a daughter of India and a son of India returning home for visit. He hugged me and shook hands with my husband than told one of his workers to escort us and get us a nice cab ( making sure the price was right for the 8 hour trip to his parents home) to take us home safely. I started a campaign of letter writing against corruption at Delhi Airport and the bribe system . I enlisted the help of my House Rep in Congress to bring up this issue and so forth. I wrote letters to the Editors of dozens of Newspapers across both countries. When I went back in 1994 Delhi International Airport was a changed place. Everything was clean, organized and pleasant. Even the money exchange was fast and easy. Taxis wee lined up nicely but I had a friend of the family picking me up. No looters begging for money. Wode Maya keep speaking for Africa and changes will come.
I live in New York City. I am inspired by your videos and energy. You expose the lies that the mainstream media feed the world. We need you. Stay strong.
Hey brother, don't listen to these negative people. I enjoy watching your videos. You are not alone. You are part of large young Africans who are woke and decided tell their own stories. Keep up the good work. You are arrested because the old guard knows they have robbed the young people's future and they are paranoid.
Keep doing what you doing. We need people like you to showcase the beauty of Africa. You videos are very inspirational and has aspired me greatly. I love you bro...
@@msrenee7023 You got it twisted the Africans are doing it to each others. So if the European or Chinese see how they are within their own group. They just join in. Blacks always do it to themselves first that is why others races step in and take over.
The small Yahoo boys are spoiling the business for the big yahoos. So the big yahoo use state machinery to stop the small boys and create an illusion/diversion for their big yahooing. When has any big yahoo been arrested? Even the last 500B? Unless you are in opposition or a personal vendetta or not from certain area
Wow. Really 😳 Already being Arrested. Blood of Jesus we cover Wode Maya from the tag of being Arrested. No weapon fashioned against you will Prosper. You will Triumph, Nigeria is your land too. Keep going you are the Kwame Nkurumah incarnation. You are protected. Amen. Keep Going and loving your videos. ❤️👏🙏
Same here, very interesting. Have followed Maya for several months and learned some about Africa. I have friends from church who are from Nigeria, Zambia, Kenya, South Africa. Met a Ugandan man posing as pastor who tried to defraud gullible White church members until I blew his cover. And than there is that Somali refugee hateful vilexwoman Omar who married her brother to bring to the US and gate all White Americans. I have several Black- American friends who are like family, same as Whites and Latinos. We share meals, family time, picnics, celebrations, jiys and sorrows.
Maya you are a very powerful positive force out here I'm from America and you have enlightened me to Africa ,I will be visiting Ghana because of you so thank you bro you are appreciated 🙌🏿
Maya my Guy, Kindly acknowledge this advice: (a) Always report to your embassy in any country you go to at your arrival in case of any necessity, (b) Map out strategic risk plans for emergencies such as robbery and other forms of attack or local crisis, (c) Learn a more acceptable ways of presenting or approaching securities and other law enforcement agencies in a new environment you found yourself, (d) Do make sure that you have your RU-vid colleague around in your host country who will walk you around the country and as well, stand in to communicate with the locals where necessary amongst others. This will enable you to further engage your good work safely. Love from Naija. Thank you!
Wode Maya. You are a gem. You are loved. It's so unfortunate what happened to you in Nigeria. I will just implore you say your prayers before you leave your hotel room in any African country.
Wodemaya this is your African American Nigerian sister who supports you!!!! Though I'm yet to come to Africa from which my ancestors came, you have opened my heart broader and I see your vision. We need you to continue with your work unapologetically. The one true and living God's hands are upon you. Thank you for all that you do. My heart breaks that many do not understand the barriers you are breaking down but we're not foriegn to resistance. Where there's love, hate is near. Where ever there's light, darkness is near. Bless you and I'm proud of you!!! Again we will meet one day!!!
@Wodemaya Also, when it's time for you to come to the U.S. we will be your host family. Pray about it and keep in touch!! My step dad and sister in law are from Ghana.
Hey girl!!! I’m also a Nigerian youtuber too o, but studying in Ghana at the moment, For both of you deeeea!!! I’m your biggest fan o , I’m already a follower, I just wish I get to meet you guys someday😍 Wode Maya ! Great Job o , I really love what you are doing for Africa countries, we need people that are optimistic and positive in this Africa 🙏🏾
Yes I totally believe you, everything you just said, my wife is Nigerian and she is from Port Harcourt, I'm from California and I lived out there for a year. They have check points all over Nigeria. I was also shocked that he didn't try to get any money out of you either. Always travel with someone who is Nigerian when you visit Nigeria.
So, I guess Nigeria would not be a great place to visit if you are from another Continent and don't know any Nigerians. That sounds scary...is it not safe as far a crime?
@@vidapoles if you want to come to Nigeria come I will guarantee your safety and enjoyment stop listening to hear says and embellished lies. Wode Maya was not arrested he was stopped and searched because at the time internet fraudsters were very common in Nigeria Google Invictus Obi and Hushpuppi as a result the police started searching for clues and info to find such fraudsters wide Maya was not handcuffed, he was not put in a cell, he was not pinned to the ground so please let's have perspective here he was stopped because he was suspected by a junior officer immediately a superior officer saw what was going on he let Wode go Without even taking money or bribe or anything to me this is a good story not a sad one. It shows they are working hard to curb fraud and the Naija police isn't as corrupt as people are making it out to be. Once again come to Nigeria I will GUARANTEE your safety and help you move around and enjoy your stay
@@vidapoles MAny people that are not Nigarian visit alone..people are so friendly and helpful, you dont need to travel with a Nigerian because everyone will be open to help
You are not alone my Brother. Police in Nigeria can arrest a day old baby even fetus in the womb. It's nothing, but naija way. Continue with your good job my brother. Citizens are always suspect in the eyes of Nigerian police.
Nigeria should definitely get help from China to deal with these scammers then as AI surveillance is state of the art there.I remember watching a program about the city of the future in China (Shenzhen) and they interviewed a foreigner who was working there who illegally jay walk at a crossing,and within 30 seconds he was issued with a fine on his WeChat account! How? Well ,the cameras at the road junction recognised his face via facial recognition technology and summarily issued him the fine.Scary!
I'm an African American and I love your content! Your giving a lot of information that's good for people like me that's coming to visit Africa and possibly move there. Thank You!
What can't kill you makes you better 💪 #Rwanda 🇷🇼 Rwandans are always grateful for your work.. Keep up never get discouraged by those uninformed people, your work is actually to change that. And that coward should not change your entire view of #Nigeria 🇳🇬
There you go, satan doesn't want you helping Africa and wants you to give up on Africa, but if CHRIST is your goal then HE will glorify HIMSELF in you and make your name great if you follow HIS lead in everything.
A Yahoo Boy? Wode you be gettin locked up everywhere bro, but you receive more love throughout Afrika and the World, than the you've seen cuffs. Keep safe, and keep it up.
Just seeing this video now and I would like to sincerely apologize to you, on behalf of the good people of Nigeria. Don't let your negative experiences stop you from what you are doing. Mother land will celebrate you. God bless
Bro keep the flame of Africa . Don’t let the uncivilised nature of African governments discourage u. Africa is beautiful, don’t let anyone tell u otherwise.❤️
@@KO-fh8vj he needs to start looking more professional . clean shave and smooth tops . Nigerian police saw him as a hungry man with unkept hair and scatty t-shirt.
Hi Maya, I like what you do for the great continent of Africa. I am so sorry about what you went through in Nigeria on your journey of promoting Africa but that goes to tell the rest of the world that Nigeria as a country is not smiling at Fraud or anything like that. We Love you Maya....keep up the good work!!! ”M”, thank you very much for your timely intervention.
I love your positive energy bro! I live in Boston in the states and I'm trying to get my citizenship in Ghana. Most foreign countries think americans are being fake when we actually care. I believe it's insecure people who are negative to positive people. I'm encouraged from your videos and I hope you don't let these small setbacks stop you. Keep it up! You've inspired me. You are like the modern day marcus garvey. He promoted pan africanism.
It is because of the negative experiences at country to country level. The relationship isn't necessarily symbiotic, which makes citizens suspicious......
Wode Maya, I feel so bad that you got arrested in Nigeria, though Thank God that your case was handled by an intelligent Police officer. Anyway, you are also in your country, something like this happened to me at Aflao border long time ago, and I was happy that I was arrested, because that arrest alone gave me an opportunity to meet a very intelligent and very kind police officer. Who even decided to pay my transport fare from Aflao to Accra. He actually planted the greatest love I have for the Ghanaians in my heart forever. He gave back my 16MM Cine camera that was seized from me back without any protocol whatsoever.
Im an African American Diaspora. I am so thankful for your videos. Please keep going. I work in entertainment and these videos make me want to help build more in Ghana.
Maya is a African treasure, I had no clue about all African countries are doing until I stumble on Maya. Keep it going Maya, only a fool would criticize your efforts.
Don't let this deter you from doing the project you have set out to accomplish. Keep on promoting the positive images of Afrika and let the world see how beautiful it is.
This is a great channel. I’ve been to Africa twice, east then west. It’s beautiful. Channels like this give me inspiration to return and visit different parts.
This is why I always visit Ghana because I was in Nigeria a few times and my story is just one of those bizare one's but, Wode Maya, keep p the flame my brother I will see you when I visit Ghana, Love from Canada!
Why Wode Maya got arrested: he took a day to visit Mainland. After interviewing Unilag girls on his video what’s so amazing about Nigerian Queens 👸🏽👸🏾👸🏿👸🏿 he was editing the video in his Uber car and police stopped the car and asked him to come down. M should have cautioned you. She knows how Nigerian police operates.
First off, I must thank you for promoting Africa in all its ways. Let Africans around the world see what home is today, and to inform us on the dooz and don'ts on the continent. I'm shocked that people would make negative comments on your work, they should be proud of your efforts and support you. Don't let this affect your intent. I enjoy your videos. Your brother from Guyana, South America
I’m not surprised man. I believe you. I’m from Cameroon and always get in trouble when I go to Nigeria to go visit my late grandparents. Take care bro.
Greetings Wode Maya! Passport tip-When I was a student studying abroad, rather than bring my passport when I'd go on excursions, etc., I'd bring a copy of it with me (with my ID) and keep my original passport at the residence. I also had my country's embassy contacts available just in case so I didn't have to look for it in an emergency. Thank you for the work you do. Stay safe🙏
Wealth is relative..People of European decent are taught that wealth are in things..Othets are brought up that Wealth is in family and relationships. This is why when some people lose all their money they kill themselves..Money and things have no value without people to love and love you back..wealthy people are some of the loneliest and depressed people in the world. They spend so much time building wealth till they neglected building relationship then they find themselves all alone.
Taps Tars very true and important! 😊It’ll also help him grow his brand... he’s friends with Dr Mumbi - at least it wouldn’t be bad if he copied her business model too I think 🤔🤷🏾♀️?
Your mission is positive, and informative, as well as entertaining. So as a prayer warrior I'm going to stand in the gap intercede on your behalf, the UV protected by the blood of Jesus. And no weapon formed against you shall prosper.
Wode Maya, Lagos is awesome but try going somewhere else in Nigeria if you can (like Abuja) to get a different perspective of Nigeria. You are doing a great job.
Paul O How does a small, low iq, primitive group called Boko Haram that lives in a desert has more access of weapons than police officers that live in a richer part of Nigeria or even the army? Lol
