I am with Maya you can't be free from something and still maintain that thing's image. Lets be real. Lets be us guys, let's be true to our skin. Be proud of our country Mother Africa the mother of inventions. The mother of natural resources
@Mark Hall Africans in the soil or Africans in the diaspora we are all Africans and we are all the descendents of this continent. Circumstances separated us but we are one. One love keeps us together, we are ready to welcome y'all to Africa one day when you feel like coming. I am not condemning or shaming anyone but calling our Cities or towns with a particular name just to be recognized is not good
I totally agree with Wode Maya. Embracing Kumerica is like bringing back slavery. what the is Kumerica??? For real Ghanians??? An Amercian person would never associate him or herself with ghana or Africa. Like what are we doing???? Can we please focus and love what we are for once?? thanks
Naw we do associate ourselves with Africa, not all but a good number of us do. You’re right though many are lost as well. That statement is too generalized. There are many that love everything Africa but is either scared to make that move or feel too deeply rooted here.
My apologies because I did mean to bring up my thoughts on that side, being a marketing tool, and also that some of the messages in these songs are positive so 🤷🏽♂️
Miller Kevin but also I feel like it’s a double edge sword because of what America itself stand for and not the Africans here that make up the country you know?
Wode Maya is very right!! We Asantes should stop caling Kumasi kumerica!!! That is an insult to our father the Asantehene!! Kumasi has a rich history and culture that was there before there was any America --- America a country built by Afrikan slavery, blood, sweat and tears is only 224 years old, Asante empire dates back to the first Asantehene in 1690 more than 330 years so America is nothing!!! We should be proud Asantes and embrace our rich, history, language, tradition and culture.
Chaley why are you here in the first place we are Africans not westerners Chinese man will tell you the same thing Russia Arabs Portuguese Indians everybody stick with their cultural why do we have to give it up for you mr/mrs try to control everybody
Mark Hall you’re missing the point. They are not shaming us, their African brothers and sister. Instead the country and how it was built. I’m with them, I could careless about America. Our ancestors built this place but we still get the crumbs. They promote our ignorant brothers and sisters and kill off the bright and unlocked ones. Yet you care what they say about America. That word should not be used injunction with any African land... ever! If you really knew... and know the fact that we were Native Americans then that too would make you feel even more insulted. It was never their land to call America to begin with. We’ve sailed and settled in “America” long before slavery my brother. Just to dive further into that. I know this is not going to be a popular opinion but the current countries names and borders are not what our ancestors created so realistic they can go too but first and foremost, America... no. This country only thrived and continue to thrive from the enslavement of Africans. Not one thing they have produced here is anything new or of any major significance to the world. I promise you that... all the way down to flying. That’s facts. So why do we put so much praise into these thieves and the current country they created. No fam, you just live here and that’s how you should look at it. You’re ancestors was taking against their will. What did you receive in return? Crumbs of the pie. Are schools as good in black neighborhoods as they are white? Are police as understanding and passive as they are in white neighborhoods? If they want you to succeed why not give you proper text books and lab equipment? Cost? I didn’t know leaves cost anything 🤷🏽♂️. They pricing knowledge but keep it out of reach of black people, letting us afford old information. Oh but you feel slighted because our brothers feel some type of way about using America with an African city. Come on bro!!
To my brothers and sisters on the continent keep it 100 % African , do not change your rich cultural heritage by adopting American so called values , forget that ..... Keep it 100% African much love to my brothers and sisters from a brother in the Diaspora
Kumerica is just for hip pop plus the chain represent the Royalty.pls ask n let us break it down for u cos we all know we can't change the name.(kumasi)
Wode you are the real mvp man! I’ve always tell our brothers and sisters that’s from the motherland not to envy us Americans... for the material things we have or because we seem more “educated”... we are taught what they want to teach us. Then a lot of us get so proud in that piece of paper they received saying they are well educated, but in what? Half of what we learn are straight lies! So what did you learn? Then majority of us don’t work in the field in which we receive our degrees in. It’s so much that if you don’t keep your eyes open you will most certainly be their puppets.
Brother Wode, am going to bias am afraid for me Accra is the best, don’t get me wrong Kumasi has wealth but for me Accra has so much excitement such as music, fashion, sport. fishing, transport, education etc.
There is a difference between towns and neighbourhoods... no doubt Miami is a mixture of cultures from the Caribbean, still don’t know if there’s enough Haitian to warrant a Haitian town in Miami... difference in population warrants neighbourhoods, village, towns and city...There is a little Haiti culture centre in Miami, but not a town. I live in a village of 68,000 ! Not a town...🤷🏽♀️
Kumerica is affordable i thing because is a small town/city. I am a village girl so surely Kumasi will be my fave. Maya should come to Botswana 1st it is still safe to travel here even during this pandemic. You are welcome here man
Kumasi is not Ghana's capital, and it's not a modern city either, but I don't know how you can call a settlement with about 3.5 million people a small town/city. The population of Accra and Kumasi are very close, though infrastructure wise, there's this huge disparity, Accra being one of Africa's most modernised cities, and Kumasi remaining a center of culture and traditions, a traditional, typical African city for that matter.
Yes calling Kumasi Kumerica is an insult to our ancestors who gave the name Kumasi and to our culture, I hope this disrespect stops. We are Ghanaians and we should be proud and we should stop trying to imitate others.
They gonna let the diasporans get scared when they come to kumasi, hearing the names of their state they gonna be watching around thinking they've been spy.... 😂😂😂😂😂
I can’t wait to visit Kumasi. But I agree with Maya please don’t mix America with Ghana I am white and my husband is from GHANA I am from the United States please my message to especially the youth in Ghana know the treasure you have know the opportunities you have. America is not what you think money does not come easy everything is with the price you give up life itself and a lot of people by the time they retire to be able to enjoy life don’t make it. You work to make someone else rich meanwhile everybody is so tired and busy they do not have time for friends and family. Another sad thing that happens here in the United States is people put their parents in nursing homes and other people take care of them. The workers in the nursing homes definitely do not take care of the people well and the people that are in the nursing home rarely get visit from their children or family so they are left to die in strangers care who do not treat them with respect or dignity. There are some very bad things that go on everywhere in the world no place is perfect. The Lord willing in one year we will be moving permanently to GHANA I personally am looking forward to A slower paced life where I can enjoy doing business helping my husband having my garden and a few animals and farming I was really touched by Maya video about giving to the farmers and that is my heart I want to go and meet the people that are on our land I want to be a blessing once again please be thankful for what God has given you and where God has allowed you to be bored please do not try to change and be like America you will regret it one day. God bless you for your videos and all you do I plan on making videos to show people how beautiful Ghana is And most of all how beautiful the people are inside and out 🙌🏽🇺🇸✈️🇬🇭🙌🏽❣️
Amazing words and they need to hear it from a white sister. We’re all family but the evil stuff they are doing here in America... well we all just need to leave them to deal with each other. You’re right they can have all my material things for a peace of mind. One suggestion though. Don’t say you wish in a yr. I understand things happen out of our control. I know but what I’ve done... win or lose getting everything I need accomplished here I’m gone in a yr. that’s facts!!! So say you’ll be in Ghana in a yr 😊. Don’t let them keep you longer than you want to be here.
Kumasi is Kumasi, please let's put some respect on the name. You can as well call Kumasi Oseikrom Garden City or Otumfour krom, that's it. Say no to Kumerica.
It's a phase. Like azonto it'd also pass. Allow the youth to enjoy the exposure, fame, money that Kumerica is offering them as against their struggles with breaking through in the mainstream genres
because the speak more of their proud language. Many are still learning their twi language and need just a little amount of English to communicate and interact with people that cannot speak twi, which is the defacto national language. I wonder what othe languages Americans and British speak beside English.
@@kakyirekusiwaa4592 listen Mr Champ... Speaking fluent does not means that you lost your language. Ibut rather to pave away for clear understanding.simple as that.
@@TheExpoV speaking fluent help to pave clear understanding for both opponent.. Why other Tribals in the country speak more fluent and yet they can , put the same effort on native language.. I think the ASHANTI leaders need to start looking for solutions to help their people in that region. Because the are now becomes a laughing stone... But I can help to solve to issues
@@healthylifestyleletshareid6060 why did you ask that stupid question ?go to China, Korea Japan, Israel n ask them this question u will hear shit from them
I don’t think it’s an obsession, first it’s known as a warm vacation spot. For Maya I’m sure he’s been invited, don’t forget for black people Jamaica have lots of our history . How many Jamaicans have migrated to Ghana? I’ve seen they have Jamaican village... obsession? 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
