Who are they? If you are over the legal age and don't know anything about your story, perhaps you should think about who "they" really are. I love this young Brother is opening the youth as well as older adults up about Alkebulan aka Africa.

Only one's who are upset is the one's who their forefathers help catch their black brothers for the white man during the slave trade. The spirit never dies same peoples fighting Ibrahim traore and the AES moment it has to be studied. Good job to the heads of governments the ancestors would be happy if they alive to witness this kindness.
Trump's will tariff ishowspeed 1000% .😂😂😂
How does he know he's 100% 💯 Ghanaian, just wondering 🤔
Ghana wants only blacks with big money. they invited all African American but they have made it super expensive for African Americans to get citizenship. They have changed. Now African Americans are not able to stay. It was their own president Addo that invited all African Americans to com home. Now it's different.But many are leaving. They can't stay. In one of the most dangerous times in black American history.
They want only black celebrities there. It was black Americans that fought and died to allow All Africans to come to the U.S. Many fought and formed the civil rights movement and this what they are doing. They don't want African Americans there. Many African Americans are now looking for other African countries. There are 54 Countries in the continent of Africa.
This is sad. Kendrick Lamar, JayZ and others celebs are saying nothing about it. They are building and have been given citizenship but has said nothing. AAs were invited by President. Addo. Now that he is gone , they want only rich black Americans. A family of five would need to pay 17,500 USA. just to be a citizen.it could take years for AAs to save that money and buy 5 tickets that can cost up to 15,000 USD to just get there. That's 32,500 not including hotel, food or money for any other purchases. This is clearly saying. We don't want you here. We only want your stars, atheletes and you very rich.
The Rich people from the U.S are saying nothing. Addo did not want this. He traveled to the states to invite AAs. This is greed. Now watch God. Find some where else in Africa people. They are doing what they do. Just to think that I thought Mahama was great. I guess for his people only. But black Americans helped Ghanaians find work and schools for their kids. Go see it on YouTube. Black Americans Helped Africans in the U.S. now Just Greed and divisions. much like the oppressors in America. This was not help. This is sad and deception.
