Africa isn’t really for the diaspora they’re only looking for African Americans it don’t seem like they genuinely want other blacks to go back to Africa they only want the black Americans with their USDs smh 🤦♂️
Gullah Geechee Empress here from da Beaufort, South Carolina, Sea Islands of the Low Country, I am so proud of you Chief and the work that you are doing…. The ancestors are with you and they are sending me to help be a vessel for us to return home
In order to obtain this "Very Streamlined Citizenship process from Sierra Leone" Afro Americans must still meet the guidelines to receive "citizenship" First You Must Take A DnA test to prove that you have Sierra Leone DnA. (African Ancestry is the best because of their network with West Afrikan Countries) Then you must apply... Sierra Leone has the best citizenship process for Afro Diasporans in our Afro Diaspora.
Although I am 18.1% Mende I did the African Ancestry DNA test which said I am more Nigerian, Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo. Sierra Leone will only accept the African Ancestry test. They need to accept other reputable companies.
The dna test makes no sense. Who created Sierra Leone? It’s like seeing who traces back to London for all I care. They are searching for certain dna types and the Sierra Leonean puppet government is helping them capture more samples. Wake TF up.
@@sy2yd I'm a Farmer, Producing rice and cassava mostly, I've also been involved in projects such as the Bai Bureh Heritage Foundation in Portloko Sierra Leone which helps out the youth and community.
To be clear, you need Sierra Leonean DNA to get citizenship in that nation. I know that the vast majority of black americans don't have that DNA, so people should know that African Americans can travel through West Africa in any case. Getting the requisite Visas is a simple matter, so no one should be discouraged. If all else fails, you are always welcome in Ghana.
I am so proud of my South Carolinians venturing out and making an impact on the World especially here in the Charleston area we are making a name for ourselves, Salute to Chief Foday. SC stand up!
@@bwiseafricam Congratulations to you Fam glad you dare to adventure and is enjoying yourself, enjoy life while you can, I am looking forward to coming to Africa and investing in her. I have an investing plan of my own that I want to implement but it will be in due time. I was born in Charleston raised in Moncks Corner like Charlemagne Tha God, but have been living in the Summerville, Ladson area for about 23 years. Coming from the rural country area and then moving to the city suburban area I got the experience of both Worlds so I am sure I can easily adapt to most any where in Africa developed or undeveloped. I wish nothing but success to you.
Sierra Leone is a beautiful country, it was the first African country I ever stepped foot on in 97. Wonderful people (& the food ,oh my God - the food is so addictive) .The local language that is spoken the most is Creole- but it's very easy for your ears to pick up on what's being said.
Where there are problems, there are also solutions... I am definitely looking forward to visiting the Nation of Sierra Leone🇸🇱 Regardless of any problems or issues.
I did my Ancestory DNA 6 weeks ago.By the way,Gullah-Geechee is a language that was taught by many of our African's Ancestors in Charleston South Carolina who came from different parts of Africa while being in slaved at that time when they all were together.That was there way of communicating in English throughout Jacksonville, NC to Jacksonville, Fl.JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA HAS THE LARGEST GULLAH-GEECHEE SPEAKING PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
He is home indeed... from a fellow gullah geeche of Beaufort SC. Appreciate what he has done in the US and on the ground in Sierra Leone. 32% Nigerian, 29% Sierra Leone and 26% West Africa. Will get more specifity via African Ancestry by mid-Dec. Wealth of information...looking forward to reaching out by late Spring.
My main factor is that the colonizers can’t come. We as a people need this. They show us how they don’t want us in their countries unless you’re running up and down a field for them.
I find this conversation very important and very good for African Americans. Thank you so much brother chief Foday for educating o our African American families
Thanks for sharing the realities when relocating to this country and so many "untapped" opportunities from the ground up, if you are equipped to make it work. Maybe in another 20 or 30 years, more regular folks will have an easier time relocating.
I appreciate Chief Foday for briefly discussing collective economics. I wish black people would dedicate ourselves to building relationships and supporting black socio-economics and geopolitics. We'd finally see the world as our ancestors intended.
I hope other countries offer dual citizenship too because not everyone is from Sierra Leone. I just found out through DNA that I'm Yoruba from Nigeria on my father's side.
Here is an irony. Sierra Leone was named for its mountains by the Portuguese. As a country the borders were created by the British so they determined who fit into the country vs not. Freetown is the capital and it was founded in part by African Americans. Therefore I would argue we should not have to pass a test to have citizenship in a country people related to us helped found.
@@tribalistakan8596 One, Ghana is not "full up". Two, there are maybe three black americans qualified for Sierra Leonean citizenship. A bit of an exaggeration, but the point is you can't fake your DNA, and very few of them will have SL DNA. Even if every one of those qualified moved to Ghana, it would barely be a drop in the bucket. Only a fraction of the number of Nigerians or Liberians in Ghana.
@@backtotheoldway6964 Are you joking? Ghana cannot handle an influx on forëigners when the government is barely providing our basic needs: running water, 24 hr electricity & good roads. Food insecurity is on the horizon in Ghana & we do not have enough for everyone. Ghanaians come first. The Nigerian population is 7M in Ghana & they’re causing a lot of issues with their crîmes. President of Ghana is a tyränt & he stole the election in 2020, he is so focussed on foreigners & not on the natives, we are suffering in Ghana. So we are indeed FULL UP!
I learned this for a while now since I took my African ancestry and my results came back as 100% temne people's. Definitely will be getting mine. Anyone know of any business ventures there let me know. Looking to start networking with fellow Sierra Leonians
I have my suspicion as to why they would not want to do so Basically Nigerian is divided into mainly Muslim North and a mainly Christian South. Based on slave trade records and distant cousin matches people tend to get most of our Nigerian ancestry is from the South. There is tension between the South and North. The main tribe in the North is the Hausa or Hausa-Fulani. These are really two tribes combined by conquest and intermarriage. Now, most likely we being mainly Christian would be more likely to join with the South which would increase (maybe) the power of the South. Of course some of us are Muslim and might orientate towards the North
I do show that I have 14% from Sierra Leone. Now I am trying to figure out which side of the family it comes from. I would hate to spend $300 for African Ancestry only to get European results. Lol
@@rosebellcarter2695 I dont know what u heard..but every African country gives visas. We've never had any trouble giving visas. U can go anytime u want.
This video is like receiving a love letter. It's good to see African Americans and natives of African countries networking and working together toward bringing the gape in the Americas: ( US, Canada, Mexico, central American countries, and south American countries, and Carrbean Island's.
I've always wanted to go to Africa, I just never knew which country I wanted to visit. Even mentioning this to friends and family they think its crazy for me to travel alone but, no one wants to travel with me.
Do it I have been inspired by some young ones like Mark & Tiffany Banner look them up to be enciuraged. They travelled solo from the USA to the African continent and appear settled
I took a tour of the continent in 2019... 4 countries with a pre-teen( a 12 yo)...never felt safer... don't let the naysayers and fear stop you... use common sense, monitor your surroundings and have fun!
ALL that cost money and resources. you $10k in the hole of top between airfare accommodations and cost of citizenship. Its not about "excuses" Its funny how its ALWAYS what AA's aint doing. We HAVE been building for centuries.
@@globalgogetter4469 You are hilarious I know y'all would come up with some kind of excuse. Lol...get it from your PPP loan money y'all was defrauding the US government out of. Every damn excuse in the world smdh ..All want y'all been doing and y'all only have less than one percent of America's wealth? Sounds like y'all business doing nothing work.
Movies like blood diamond is one of the numerous movies used to portray Africa in bad light and used to discourage African-Americans from linking up with their ancestral root, yet keeping them suffering abroad.
We are the original people and we have every reason to stand up in the tallest mountains to proclaim who we are.” “We are beautiful, intelligent, sophisticated, highly adaptable and totally indestructible people - the Africans.” “Any other race that would have gone through what we’ve been subjected to would have been extinct and that’s the truth."

Absolutely correct . I mentioned that recipe for disaster to my brother / friend / mentor about 4 years before it happened , while we were on the ferry getting from the Targrin terminal at Lungi , as we approached the Kissy terminal in Freetown , looking at the calous ways houses were built on the mountains , along the Atlantic coast. I am 60 years old . About 95% of the huge tropical rain forest trees which covered the mountains when I was a kid , have been cut down , and no trees are being planted to replace at least half the number of the ones which were lawlessly destroyed. Chances are when it rains heavily as it usually happens in August ,(the peak of the rainy season) , loose soil saturated with rain might slide from the top of the slope .
To obtain your father’s lineage/ancestry if you have a brother who can have his DNA tested. I would think that an uncle would also be adequate, but check.
I agree with you! Although I realize there's no perfect place on Earth and everyone and every place on Earth is not perfect. But I do know that some of the things that are going on over here in America, can really change and environment especially if you bring an attitude, disrespect to any country or anywhere or around anyone can actually change a situation for the worst. Although I would love myself to go to Africa, I know for fact that I have a great attitude! I love the continent and my ancestral African people . I have a very good spirit about me but I know that the devil is in some people and they got no business going nowhere... they need to stay right where they are! So, I agree with you and everybody is not perfect but some people just need to stay right where they are because they would mess up a whole situation in one second.... especially a positive situation that Sierra Leone is trying to create with us from the West. I'm not trying to be mean or anything tho....I'm just saying that there are bad people everywhere but certainly we know over here is a hot mess because there's no respect,bad attitude and everything else to go with it and we witness the everyday on the news it is terrible and foursome is in their neighborhood . So some people may be bringing negative baggage I don't know it's not for me to judge but these are things that have to be paid close attention to. I know the people not naive in Sierra Leone to what's happening in the West! They need to understand that everybody coming there may not bring the good that they're portraying that they're bringing ! I get what you're saying. But I guess we're going to have to see how it all plays out. But one thing I know for sure is that I'm a positive American woman with a very good attitude , the right spirit and I know that I put God first. So I could never bring negativity anywhere that I go it's not in my nature. Sorry I had to reply to what you said because I did agree but I wanted to add a little more about what I was thinking as well. And one more thing this is an opportunity for our people to pull together in a positive way we have no other choice. Our race as a people has made all types of choices but this time we should know how to get it right by now... .especially after all we've gone through. Such as slavery and separation and the list goes on and on.
@@karlosthejackel69 Huh, pretty rude of you. Now, let me address: WE will not be permanently leaving anywhere because those like me are descendants directly from the original people who walked these lands here in America, DNA verified. As for the rest of the world, hun, I'd tell you to return to YOUR home country but since your people just stabilized around 1000 years ago AND this world was fully populated by people for 100s of 1000s of years...black skin melanated people....you really have NO place for which you can truly call ancestrally, yours now do you? BUBBLE BURSTING TIME: dearheart, ALL of that Europe that you mentioned....was populated MY Swarthy Europeans, the ancient and original ones - MY ancestors. You new arrivals and your false sense of superiority, your racism....stop it.
Salaam Alaikum Foday, I have been to freetown and stayed in Lungi not far far from Airport and I went to settle in China for business, but i always think of returning to West Africa Freetown to set up shop. I am from West Phillly and lived most my adulthoood in other cOUNTRIES like Syria, Egypt Mexico and Montreal, Canada with my elder brother Ali. I really like Kano, Nigeria.
If move to Africa I would love to see the road builded, this is a big problem in Ghana I know, I also would love for some of American contractors to come and start building, because many people are complaining about Africa taking people money and not doing the job they were hired to do. This must stop.
@John Storm …only someone who has never step foot in Africa would say such an asinine thing as you just said. Simply Google and you will immediately know what you just said is absolutely false.
@John Storm …you’re more ignorant than I thought. Do you want me to list the number of high profile Spanish construction firms building roads, bridges and buildings in the US? Almost all the major construction contracts in the US are being done by foreigners. Do you know the number of Japanese firms that built buildings in the 90s in the US? It was so many Bruce Willis had to do a movie about it. Now, the Chinese are giving loans to pretty much every country on the planet including the US. Do you know how much the US owes China? Billions. Now, do you know when the Chinese started coming to Africa and what the infrastructure was like before they came? Granted the Chinese have done major construction in Africa recently but it’s a very tiny amount compared to what was already there. You seem the type that reads over the internet and just swallow fake or half truths without doing independent research to corroborate.
@John Storm …so you are saying if the US defaults on Chinese loans, China cannot do anything to the US…don’t you think it’s shameful for powerful US to even consider that? The US debt default almost happened last week, right? Have you seen pictures of construction workers in Africa? It’s all Africans. Have you seen construction workers in the US? Mostly Mexicans and foreigners. So who is building what? Africa is gradually getting its act together and I’m hopeful the youth will reshape the world…watch that space.
Are we the only people I'm the diaspora? There are more Africans in Brazil than America. Isn't it time to expand to the diaspora? Black Americans shouldn't have to always be the standard barrier.
Whilst l am not against African Americans returning to their fatherland my concern is the cost of living that goes up making life unbelievable for the local people. People talk about Ghana but today the local people earning livings in Cedis will tell you that prices of almost everything has gone up.
I'm 38 years old and it's funny when I was growing up before used to talk trash me the black community used to talk trash about Africans and African culture or looking like an African person with people or make fun of other black people make fun of in America and now our culture is switching to were our roots are more about being African and finding out where we come from in Africa and being more culturally accepted in that nature which is great because we don't have a culture here in this country we should all find out our connections and embrace them
Many people arround the WORLD were DECIVED by the mainstream media and Hollywood entertainment for what Africa really like, Now that the truth is known many people are open for a taste of Africa.
It was definitely almost a barrier within the black community with darker and lighter blacks but we didn't let the spike lee's and Eddie Murphy fool us like others the being to black thing wasn't acceptable then.we always have a heart for African on the continent of Africa
Who cares many of you still make fun of us,we careless,at least we are building our countries ourselves even with Chinese. You are only coming now cause things are beginning to look bright.
@@julielilote3496 with all due respect!! Some of us have been pouring found for many years years, just because we're not blowing the trumpets it doesn't mean we don't exist!.
@@aniyax4023 They we’re barely able to maintain a tobacco fleet, never mind actually build anything. These were my ancestors too. If they built america, Europe, Egypt and literally every good thing ever, why is Afrika hell
You know they found a African princess in Arizona. 278 miles through the desert very short trip home. Through the Grand Canyon I guess you going to need an army to cross it though
The Hebrew Bible is like kryptonite 2 more than da majority of da people of colour on this earth; especially in da western world... Even though the chosen one are scattered throughout the four corner of the earth; as it is written in YIRMEYAHU: ch 29 vs 14... YESHA'YAHU: ch 11vs 12... BUT HUSHA: ch 4 vs 6... "WE GOT NEXT"... YOVHELIYM: ch 1 vs 14-17... BARUK: ch 2 vs 30-35... YIRMEYAHU: ch 16 vs 14-16...🛸
Come back or Go To? Both are exceptional. Remember the Slave Trade brought US from the US to the West Coast of Africa not from Africa to America. Great work you are doing for our people who were removed and taken to Africa. How many African Wars have you heard of? I bet you have heard of Indian Wars?
Have anyone been able to find out how to get citizenship by way of 6th region. I can't find nothing much as how to start the process. Its crazy. Most likely suppressed because America know we trying to break out of prison
As salaam alaikum, after a 22 year civil war that ended in 2003, Sierra Leone may NOT be ready to accept newcomers in a climate that is still healing from that circumstance. I would recommend another 20 years before ANY consideration.
From the 2 dna test I've had i have a percentage of every country in the west african slave trade. Some percentages are higher than others, still some from every single country. I would assume most ados would be the same.
Does the government have free money give them, free food, and free housing to give them ? every month $1000 for food 1000 that for rent and 1000 for pocket money ? if so , they will come!
It’s more about the tension between us. Why move from resistance that looks different from you for resistance that looks similar to you. It still leaves you in the middle, not completely welcomed by the natives #perceptions
Until they accept the results from 23andMe and/or AncestryDNA, I'll pass. I think as long as a reputable DNA test shows ancestry from Sierra Leone - even if no ethnic group is named - it should be accepted. It seems like the government in Sierra Leone is in cahoots with AfricanAncestry for mutual economic benefit and that doesn't sit well with me.
@@tvs9978 I didn't say they were trying to fleece us. I said they are working together to make each other money. I also didn't say that AfricanAncestry shouldn't be used at all. I said they shouldn't be the ONLY company used and that we should have a CHOICE of DNA companies to use. If you would have tried to THINK about what I was saying instead of trying to be critical, maybe you would have understood what I was saying and I wouldn't have to explain it to you like you're in elementary school. Keep your insults to yourself because I can give as well as I get.
@@africaine4889 You totally missed my point. I didn't say NOT to use AfricanAncestry. I said that AfricanAncestry shouldn't be the ONLY company whose tests are accepted.

This video is like receiving a love letter. It's good to see African Americans and natives of African countries networking and working together toward bringing the gape in the Americas: ( US, Canada, Mexico, central American countries, and south American countries, and Carrbean Island's.
Yes, long winded Brotha, lots of great info., needs his own UA-cam channel, but thx u Chief Foday
I've always wanted to go to Africa, I just never knew which country I wanted to visit. Even mentioning this to friends and family they think its crazy for me to travel alone but, no one wants to travel with me.
Find a man you can trust. That will protect you from danger.World is getting more dangerous by the day. Good luck fam.
Do it I have been inspired by some young ones like Mark & Tiffany Banner look them up to be enciuraged. They travelled solo from the USA to the African continent and appear settled
I took a tour of the continent in 2019... 4 countries with a pre-teen( a 12 yo)...never felt safer... don't let the naysayers and fear stop you... use common sense, monitor your surroundings and have fun!
That's most American if asked, they will say are you crazy
I'm in the same boat. I want a travel buddy too. Nobody I know is interested in Africa.
Home is where the heart is
we are home we are the Moors we everywhere is home fam moorish empire

Great interview, Sierra Leone has gotten rid of every excuse for the African American to do for self
ALL that cost money and resources. you $10k in the hole of top between airfare accommodations and cost of citizenship. Its not about "excuses" Its funny how its ALWAYS what AA's aint doing. We HAVE been building for centuries.
@@globalgogetter4469 You are hilarious I know y'all would come up with some kind of excuse. Lol...get it from your PPP loan money y'all was defrauding the US government out of. Every damn excuse in the world smdh ..All want y'all been doing and y'all only have less than one percent of America's wealth? Sounds like y'all business doing nothing work.
@@globalgogetter4469 Exactly.
Movies like blood diamond is one of the numerous movies used to portray Africa in bad light and used to discourage African-Americans from linking up with their ancestral root, yet keeping them suffering abroad.

Citizenship without learning their language and culture?

Mud slides come from not enough trees in the mountains. Tree roots keep the land tied in together.

The people cleared the forested areas and built communities on the mountainside of Freetown
💯💯💯💯💯💯 Big facts
Absolutely correct . I mentioned that recipe for disaster to my brother / friend / mentor about 4 years before it happened , while we were on the ferry getting from the Targrin terminal at Lungi , as we approached the Kissy terminal in Freetown , looking at the calous ways houses were built on the mountains , along the Atlantic coast. I am 60 years old . About 95% of the huge tropical rain forest trees which covered the mountains when I was a kid , have been cut down , and no trees are being planted to replace at least half the number of the ones which were lawlessly destroyed. Chances are when it rains heavily as it usually happens in August ,(the peak of the rainy season) , loose soil saturated with rain might slide from the top of the slope .
To obtain your father’s lineage/ancestry if you have a brother who can have his DNA tested. I would think that an uncle would also be adequate, but check.
This brother is selling me on Sierra Leone
Land of my father and mother Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 I pray dusty culture from the West doesn't taint the beautiful people. They really are good people
I feel you on this sis . Hopefully those who go through with citizenship have their heads on straight.
@@user-cp5yi8cr5w Many of their mentalities do not need to reach the shores of mama Salone
I agree with you! Although I realize there's no perfect place on Earth and everyone and every place on Earth is not perfect. But I do know that some of the things that are going on over here in America, can really change and environment especially if you bring an attitude, disrespect to any country or anywhere or around anyone can actually change a situation for the worst. Although I would love myself to go to Africa, I know for fact that I have a great attitude! I love the continent and my ancestral African people . I have a very good spirit about me but I know that the devil is in some people and they got no business going nowhere... they need to stay right where they are! So, I agree with you and everybody is not perfect but some people just need to stay right where they are because they would mess up a whole situation in one second.... especially a positive situation that Sierra Leone is trying to create with us from the West. I'm not trying to be mean or anything tho....I'm just saying that there are bad people everywhere but certainly we know over here is a hot mess because there's no respect,bad attitude and everything else to go with it and we witness the everyday on the news it is terrible and foursome is in their neighborhood . So some people may be bringing negative baggage I don't know it's not for me to judge but these are things that have to be paid close attention to. I know the people not naive in Sierra Leone to what's happening in the West! They need to understand that everybody coming there may not bring the good that they're portraying that they're bringing ! I get what you're saying. But I guess we're going to have to see how it all plays out. But one thing I know for sure is that I'm a positive American woman with a very good attitude , the right spirit and I know that I put God first. So I could never bring negativity anywhere that I go it's not in my nature. Sorry I had to reply to what you said because I did agree but I wanted to add a little more about what I was thinking as well. And one more thing this is an opportunity for our people to pull together in a positive way we have no other choice. Our race as a people has made all types of choices but this time we should know how to get it right by now... .especially after all we've gone through. Such as slavery and separation and the list goes on and on.
Sierra Leone, thank you for respecting your people by reconnecting them to their ancestral roots.
My family is from Freetown West street. I'll get more into it.. When it rains there it pours..
Floods!!¡!
Hopefully more African-Americans will see this video and return home. Sharing now...
I bet you do wish this.....
@@peterinasolvesit3702 it’s best for all of you leave, leave Europe too
@@karlosthejackel69 Huh, pretty rude of you. Now, let me address: WE will not be permanently leaving anywhere because those like me are descendants directly from the original people who walked these lands here in America, DNA verified. As for the rest of the world, hun, I'd tell you to return to YOUR home country but since your people just stabilized around 1000 years ago AND this world was fully populated by people for 100s of 1000s of years...black skin melanated people....you really have NO place for which you can truly call ancestrally, yours now do you? BUBBLE BURSTING TIME: dearheart, ALL of that Europe that you mentioned....was populated MY Swarthy Europeans, the ancient and original ones - MY ancestors.

Great episode
God bless him!
Salaam Alaikum Foday, I have been to freetown and stayed in Lungi not far far from Airport and I went to settle in China for business, but i always think of returning to West Africa Freetown to set up shop. I am from West Phillly and lived most my adulthoood in other cOUNTRIES like Syria, Egypt Mexico and Montreal, Canada with my elder brother Ali. I really like Kano, Nigeria.
Excellent !
Great information. Thank you
Waiting for my African Ancestry to come back. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I look to do my African Ancestry DNA 🧬 test this winter 2022.
We are at home.
So stick to the CNN channel then.thats for natives
If move to Africa I would love to see the road builded, this is a big problem in Ghana I know, I also would love for some of American contractors to come and start building, because many people are complaining about Africa taking people money and not doing the job they were hired to do. This must stop.
We are indigenous to the Americas! News flash! Bout
@Prince J-Jay Obaseki that is not True.
Infrastructure, Technology, Medical(To include Health & Wellness), Agricultural & Forestry, and Security/Defense
@John Storm …only someone who has never step foot in Africa would say such an asinine thing as you just said. Simply Google and you will immediately know what you just said is absolutely false.
@John Storm …you’re more ignorant than I thought. Do you want me to list the number of high profile Spanish construction firms building roads, bridges and buildings in the US? Almost all the major construction contracts in the US are being done by foreigners. Do you know the number of Japanese firms that built buildings in the 90s in the US? It was so many Bruce Willis had to do a movie about it. Now, the Chinese are giving loans to pretty much every country on the planet including the US. Do you know how much the US owes China? Billions.
Now, do you know when the Chinese started coming to Africa and what the infrastructure was like before they came? Granted the Chinese have done major construction in Africa recently but it’s a very tiny amount compared to what was already there.
You seem the type that reads over the internet and just swallow fake or half truths without doing independent research to corroborate.
@John Storm …so you are saying if the US defaults on Chinese loans, China cannot do anything to the US…don’t you think it’s shameful for powerful US to even consider that? The US debt default almost happened last week, right? Have you seen pictures of construction workers in Africa? It’s all Africans. Have you seen construction workers in the US? Mostly Mexicans and foreigners. So who is building what?
Africa is gradually getting its act together and I’m hopeful the youth will reshape the world…watch that space.
Thanks for the Video 💯💯💯💯💯
Good info
Are we the only people I'm the diaspora? There are more Africans in Brazil than America. Isn't it time to expand to the diaspora? Black Americans shouldn't have to always be the standard barrier.
Whilst l am not against African Americans returning to their fatherland my concern is the cost of living that goes up making life unbelievable for the local people. People talk about Ghana but today the local people earning livings in Cedis will tell you that prices of almost everything has gone up.
Fatherland..lol excalty What it is ..
@Olu Akinwale, repts are not to blame. I'm sure they'd prefer cost of living to remain as it was before moving there.
I'm 38 years old and it's funny when I was growing up before used to talk trash me the black community used to talk trash about Africans and African culture or looking like an African person with people or make fun of other black people make fun of in America and now our culture is switching to were our roots are more about being African and finding out where we come from in Africa and being more culturally accepted in that nature which is great because we don't have a culture here in this country we should all find out our connections and embrace them
Many people arround the WORLD were DECIVED by the mainstream media and Hollywood entertainment for what Africa really like, Now that the truth is known many people are open for a taste of Africa.
It was definitely almost a barrier within the black community with darker and lighter blacks but we didn't let the spike lee's and Eddie Murphy fool us like others the being to black thing wasn't acceptable then.we always have a heart for African on the continent of Africa

Facts!
Great point. The better time for this was when everyone was believing that whole 'roots' fiction based fiction.
Blacks built america?
You sure about that
@@karlosthejackel69 I'm positive that my ancestors were enslaved and built a country that did not exist prior to.

It's possible .
Come back or Go To? Both are exceptional. Remember the Slave Trade brought US from the US to the West Coast of Africa not from Africa to America. Great work you are doing for our people who were removed and taken to Africa. How many African Wars have you heard of? I bet you have heard of Indian Wars?
How about opening your doors to the Haitians that need help right now.

Have anyone been able to find out how to get citizenship by way of 6th region. I can't find nothing much as how to start the process. Its crazy. Most likely suppressed because America know we trying to break out of prison
As salaam alaikum, after a 22 year civil war that ended in 2003, Sierra Leone may NOT be ready to accept newcomers in a climate that is still healing from that circumstance. I would recommend another 20 years before ANY consideration.
Yeah i was thinking the same
From the 2 dna test I've had i have a percentage of every country in the west african slave trade. Some percentages are higher than others, still some from every single country. I would assume most ados would be the same.
That's because most West African tribes are related they are all belong to the same group that arrive in the coast.

Does the government have free money give them, free food, and free housing to give them ? every month $1000 for food 1000 that for rent and 1000 for pocket money ? if so , they will come!
It’s more about the tension between us. Why move from resistance that looks different from you for resistance that looks similar to you. It still leaves you in the middle, not completely welcomed by the natives #perceptions
@mammie/You got a point.lol
Sierra Leone government can’t even afford that for it’s own citizens
Until they accept the results from 23andMe and/or AncestryDNA, I'll pass. I think as long as a reputable DNA test shows ancestry from Sierra Leone - even if no ethnic group is named - it should be accepted. It seems like the government in Sierra Leone is in cahoots with AfricanAncestry for mutual economic benefit and that doesn't sit well with me.
Thry choose to used a black owned company. No european country would use a black owned company why should we??
Then stay in the West. I'm happy they chose to partner with the black owned company.
Why is everything a conspiracy with black Americans? So now the SA government is conspiring to fleece you???
@@tvs9978 I didn't say they were trying to fleece us. I said they are working together to make each other money. I also didn't say that AfricanAncestry shouldn't be used at all. I said they shouldn't be the ONLY company used and that we should have a CHOICE of DNA companies to use.
