She is so amazing and a gift to Africans.
One in Millions
May God bless Africa with a lot of her type
Love her!
I want her as the leader *reminds me of Mbuya Nehanda*
SMH It is not natural for a man to put a woman over him. It takes a real man to lead, not a woman. Get your act together and stop having a weak mentality
@@saintzayan8205 idiot
Only our system in Africa will frustrate her efforts even she became leader
@@oliveb189 up yours 🖕
That's what I'm thinking!! I had to make a donation to her organization. She actually has a plan!
My message to Dr Arikana.: Take all the activists, panafricans brothers together and start the struggle now. Just start and the whole Young Africans will follow you. We are ready now.
I would like her to have a conversation with the likes of Dr Umar Johnson...
Facts❤️💯
But why do we have to struggle for what's ours? We just need to remove the fools we have as heads of the African States

The African woman is slowly but sure showing her hidden prowess in resource management and governance beyond the kitchen. I like the spirit.

That's right sister you're speaking bold truth. You're a true revolutionary Goddess. Salute!
Curtis Muhammad, I love her also brother Curtis, but she is no goddess, just an intelligent and courageous black woman. All we need is some men like her, men who have not sold their souls to SATAN for a bag of weed, a hundred dollars and a white woman.
@@salahudinrahim1367 Yes she is intelligent and courageous. she is adored by many brothers and sisters around the world. not by her beauty but her revolutionary mindset and the fighting spirit she have that yearn to see her people free and Africa, free of colonization and imperialism. Yeah we do need black leaders with a strong spine that want bend to the powers to be, and want sell out their people's are Mother Africa.
@@curtismuhammad8088 Why everything gotta be on a feminine vibration? It's no wonder why we have soft effiminate men, or even homosexual men running around trying to be women. SMH.... First people say mother earth, mother nature, and mother Africa now? God was the one who created the earth, the nature and Africa and he is a man of celestial power. Everything is actually on a masculine vibration. Satan was the one that made everything on a feminine vibration and you believed it like a fool.
@@saintzayan8205 There's nothing wrong in supporting a strong black woman. it's strong black women's like Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao, that gives birth to strong and smart children's and strong male children, just as Mary brought forth Jesus, too the world where he became the wonder of the world. it's people with your mindset and insecurity that believe women should not stand beside men's are lead with man, but only walk behind man and be quite and just birth children's. this is why the world is im balance because we disrespect our women's. Saint Zayan, you don't have understanding are know the value of a woman. what confuse a young man or a man of his nature is people with your mindset. it takes a strong liberated woman that stand beside a strong liberated man not behind him, to bring forth male children and instill in them to know the true nature they are born into as a male, as they develop into manhood they are to move out and conduct themselves as mens of God, nothing other than that. It is woman that is the first teacher not man!
@@curtismuhammad8088 spoken like a true beta male simp. Thanks for proving my point. You modern day black men are some wussies for real. Smh. Women don't respect men who put them in a high pedestal. Women only respect a man who conducts himself like a king, a true leader.
Africans should fix Africa,We are our own problems,Education should be the first priority.
Well said, because knowledge is the major cause of the problem we are facing with the Europeans.
true
African s are not the problems. Our currupt and greedy and dishonest leaders are the problems
@@stephaniehaubert6660 not true
We need to add African American history into our syllabi. Not to foster hate, but to complete the whole historical journey....
If the red in the flags didn't remind them,maybe they need more. Really short memories...unlike our elephants.
Well said Africa for Africans you all must stand up for what belong to you
HOW MANY TIMES MUST A CANNON BALL FLY BEFORE THE SOUND IS HEARD???
This lady is passionate in what she believes in and she so RIGHT. Big respect madam

This woman is the G.O.A.T (Greatest of All Time).👏🏿👏🏿💎
A powerful firebrand and true hero. She is the jewel and one of the bravest, most inspiring, powerful leaders we need to lead the black continent and the diaspora. People like her need to replace all these spineless, weak, cowardly, greedy, cruel, ruthless, mostly male idiots parading themselves as leaders.
ua-cam.com/video/vbV--Ku2Hrwb/v-deo.html
The Yaa Asantewaa of time ❤️🙏
This woman talk is pulling tears from my eyes.
Yes, no more payments of criminal contracts. No more fear!!
She speaks the truth why aren’t you guys waking up
Because they aren't ready yet, many are awakening already though
After how many years is this a joke for black people to continue to live blind and act like we ain’t know where we belong much less where we’re coming from how long shall we let ourselves be advantaged and belittled it hurts time for Africa to step up may god protect her
a Voice for the voiceless.. as a diaspora myself, I always stay up to date with Alkebulan Afrika, as this Virus crisis delaying my trip there even more today, I will continue to strategise and plan for how can I bridge both worlds, my home and home away from home, there are millions of us in the Caribbean, we need a campaign to bring us all together slowly but surely.. ready for action enough talking..
You are right, our brethren in the Caribbean are a vital part of our black family, we need a stronger connection as well as with those in the southern America. We hardly hear from them. Please we need to work hard to build a bridge across all nation's to reach our people scattered around the globe. Warmest greetings from Uganda. I love you all .🙏🏾
Ellema Baba Much love to you and everyone across the diaspora from America. ❤️ Your achievement and success makes us happy and we cheer on every success and feel sorrow when you face misfortune. One day soon I hope to visit the continent.
I am a black American, you have done well .
@Athari Abdulla you are so evil don't do that!

Thank you very much mama. We need leaders like you in french colonized contries. You are my inspiration
Seems there will come to a point where Africa will have to isolate herself in order to rebuild, grow, relieve poverty and enrich and empower her people. Africa must unite. Others in the world do not like us Africans. We are constantly disrespected and we don't have to accept disrespect. Africa is the richest land in the world. Everything we need we have. We don't need outsiders help.
Africans can build and create what we need. We don't need them, they need us! If African has to be pushed to the point where hatred against us will force us to see that we have to help ourselves, then all the abuse we face globally is a blessing in disguise. African leaders, come together and form a united Africa, do it right away!
I’m not African, but I respect and support Africa whenever and wherever possible! I know about your power if you stand together- but Africans don’t seem to realise it!!
You've said it all.
It's about time we United as black people. As Africans!
That will be the beginning of our Glory. Africa, Unite! Now!
#AfricaUniteNow

WE ARE ON (AUN) A GREAT JOURNEY.
I am a black man from France, I can tell you, so much people here think that Africans are just a joke, always complaining and not able to take action.
My guess is as long as you are not better than them on every aspect of a society, you will be taken as childs and dealt with as such.
If they know that you are unable to defend yourself and be a real threat to their financial interests then they will not respect you.
So that put aside, rising the African self conscience and vision of the world, goals and aspirations for the long term is crucial, what is the vision of the Africans for their ideal way of living on this planet and interacting with others ? Once they found it, then it is to communicate loudly and work to make this vision a reality. And inspire other nations to see things from Your perspective and Your interests.
Easier said than done I know, but unfortunately it has been 35 years I am waiting to see a step in this direction, and still nothing is happening... only hope is left.
Love and strength from a brother of the Diaspora. 🙏🏾
For hundreds of years we have been subjected to their scorn and abuse. No more!!!!!
I'm glad more and more of us (disregard my profile picture) are starting to think like this. We have no friends - and we have to turn inside and work together with ourselves.
I enjoy listening to you ,so much inspiration and hope. We need more leaders like you.A lot of what you’re saying applies to problems in my country the Bahamas.
I agree 100%! We Africans in the United States must understand this and join forces with our African brothers and sisters. That is the only way to change Africa's trajectory.
Ap proud of you my baby sis for doing such an articulate interview with such a powerful woman.
Yeah she is a nice interviewer
I LOVE THIS WOMAN A LOT,SHE SHOULD VIE FOR THAT POSITION
This Sista know the game. In America, we wondered why the mother land is being stripped of her riches & nothing is being done.
Economic Hitman. Please type that on youtube and listen to the author who explained how the hunger game is played.
@@HULYRICSTV WOW, I ALWAYS KNEW SOMETHING LIKE THAT WAS GOING ON. JUST SAW IT NOW WE MUST PRAY AND ACT AGAINST IT. THANKS MY BROTHA.
You've said it all.
It's about time we United as black people. As Africans!
That will be the beginning of our Emancipation and Glory.
Africa, Unite! Now!

I love this lady she's a leader very intelligent
True African Leader!
Evidence Zimbabwean education system, more than just Academics...we are so proud of you, can't wait to see you back home, chigutiro!
Yes yes yes. And after let's close Africa down. Noone in, noone out. Let's survive with what we have and who we are. Thank you for this video. I can see the light
I love her, I’m a Jamaican and just want to see black people being stronger. Black people worldwide won’t go anywhere until Africa moves forward together
'Clapping for for about 15mins'
Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quoa is full of wisdom and knowledge. i get so charged when she talks and speaks. i totally agree with everything she says. she speaks my language daily. God is moving her and she is shaking Africans up. we have work to do and work we will do. Africa is the birthplace and the center of existence. DRr. Akrikana is challenging africans to raise and stand up. We will raise and build the africa we know.
I love this black woman I need this woman to call home black Africn American and black guyanese and all African in the world
We need back female leaders just like how it was in the ancient days.
The ancient days was when Men ruled majority of the time, what are you talking about?
Africa has woken up....Rise to the highest of heights,Africa!!!❤❤❤
We need to protect her❤️
This African Queen care about Africa and its people. She is powerful and intelligent.
Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quoa BRAVO! Thank you for your voice. Stand together. Action plans, accountability and timelines for implementation and seeing project through is critical.
Thank you Doctor, because of intelligent people like you, we Africans are understanding why we are in the situations we are in. Awareness brings freedom 👍
From Ethiopia I love this lady she is the symbol of courage! She mentioned Haile Silasse the Ethiopia created AU with the meaningful true reason Africa For Africa but she said now AU is controlled by western. AFRICA NEEDS TO GET HIS OWNERSHIP BACK!!
She reminds me of the late Winnie Nomzamo Madikezila -Mandela ,former wife of President Nelson Mandela👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.
Now this is how a strong person lead this is a powerful lady
I like & support my Sister in this. I, wish she gets this post, she deserves it👍
Dr Arikana I would name my daughter after you. So much wisdom and passion. God bless you and the entire African continent/diaspora.
Much❤ from Black America Land
🖤❤💚🇰🇪 Thank you for fighting for Africa, Mama
I love this woman, 💚💛♥️"We Africans will, We find it necessary for We know we shall win, in the victory of GOOD ova evil yeh..."🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am so proud of Madame Ambassador! She is a wake up call, oh yes a wake up CALL for the Continent, an eye opener for the richest Continent among all the other continents in the world, yet the poorest. WHY?. Unity is strength.

I love Arikana! She's very vocal about the Truth!!!❤❤❤
I know that I wasn't born in Africa but being an African American I really feel the pain that my fellow sisters and brothers are being disregarded disrespected just like here in the Americas. I hope that you all come together and rid your continent of all those who do not serve AFRICAS highest and greatest good. Peace and Love 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This is a powerful interview
Strong woman 💪 like late Winnie Mandela speaking with boldness God bless and guide you and your family in Jesus mighty name 🙏
What a great voice for Africa. I hope to see Africa united, prosperous, democratic, the world would be a better place.
I'm African American and I love this woman. The President of a United African States UAS!
very powerful sister and elder. The global African community needs more leaders like her #BlackPower ❤🖤💚✊🏿
The current state of Africa's affairs need to be disrupted throughout this 21ST century until it is economically stable and just for all Africans . The spirit of Yaa Asantewaa lives in Dr. Arikana!!! No one can tell me otherwise....
I have great respect for this woman a mother a wife and true leader I wish we had many leaders like her God bless you mama
Her Excellency Arikana Chimbohori will stand by the Continent & the Pan Afro Diaspora always. Now its just a matter of time for Pan Afrikan Unity to emerge & bring heaven to Afrika ... 👍🙏
Dr Arikana Chihombori you inspire a lot of Africans in Africa and abroad. You are a true doctor who does not only heal physically sick patients even those who are well physically but sick politically. More learned ladies in the continent should take queue from you so that they too can carry this everlasting aura that you have as an Pan Africanist.
Oh guys This is a powerful interview, so thanks ❤
U go mamma! The most important & most accurate statement and information I've ever heard from my African representative. God bless you 🙏
What a woman....I salute you, Dr Arikana. You're best placed to be chair of the African Union. You're a gift from GOD Almighty to Africa and the world. We desperately need to unite as a continent and form our Free Trade Area
I learned a lot from the discussion. Thanks! Wish a prosperous Africa!
Arikana Chihombori-Quoa thank you mam for being this brave and speaking up
I've fallen in love with this speech...very powerful message. I wish such a speech could be delivered to a "Heads of States" gathering. Probably this could transform them and they start thinking more about the African states, and the unity of the African countries.
The Africans in disaspora might have their part to play but it is not those in Diaspora who borrow from the IMF but the heads of states.
I admire this woman. If and only Africa had 5 Presidents like her, Africa would have been be far ahead of time.
I have never seen anyone be it female or male speaking so intelligently like this woman,I highly respect you madam
She's a great voice representing Africa 👍
You're anointed for this Doc. You articulate all as is. I believe you have a legitimate mission and God is using you for such a time as this.
I love this women she made me cry. No women has ever made me cry. She also made another american male get tears in his. I have meet a woman with a heart behind God. I love her. Im an American women I heard here speak she’s smart, wise and every black women in America needs to hear her speak
I love ❤💙 💚 her She is such A powerful force And Voice for Africa?! May the Most High God Continue to keep Her . Go Dr Arikana Chihombori-Quoa 👏
ua-cam.com/video/vbV--Ku2Hrwb/v-deo.html
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏OMG HER PASSION. FINALLY. She is sooooo beautiful also. She is right and i hope all listen.
ua-cam.com/video/vbV--Ku2Hrwv/v-deo.html
Dr Arikana and Prof Patrick Lumumba are some of the voices of our generation who are in the frontline. I absolutely adore them and I hope Africa will be better tomorrow than today
This woman has the greatest message !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much Ambassador Arikana for your wonderful and powerful words
Thank you Dr Arikana Chihombori Quoa for your call to Africa and her children.
EVERY AFRICAN must watch this, understand this and share this message because there is a common denominator here. Our ancestors suffered at the their hands, we suffer at their hands, we must not let our children and their children's children suffer. It is time for Africans to do right by our Africa. Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quoa is telling us every chance she gets and we have to listen, unite and protect our Africa. We can no longer allow African presidents to prostitute our Motherland. We NEED Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quoa and Dr PLO Lumumba to head up the clean up of Africa. Let us connect, communicate & act. Find me where the blue bird flies judemakaita along with others who also genuinely want to connect, communicate and act.
First time hearing her. I love the way she talks
You have my vote Madame Embassador, we in the diaspora want you to be our president
Chaka Darko Yes! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾💯 I second that notion.
Bless is you Dr AriKana for opening the eyes of the African Womens.
Well there is a saying I’ve come to know in my life” stop talking about it and be about it “, no other people can do it but your own, it’s your home, protect it
Speak Great Mother !! I love this Women From America with Love ,for our Ancestors Home Land !!
I pray she stays safe speaking out like this. I love her spirit she is so right. I pray she can make a change. But everyone has to come back to God for him to help us. Here in America and over there.
The Change is when the Continent of Africa unite in to One Country One People One Voice too many division Country , We need One Country and that United States of Africa
Make her the Queen of Africa ,I have lost faith in all African leaders ,but this woman is a breath of fresh air .
The woman with heart n balls wow.i salute u my Queens
I love this! Sounds like Pan-Africanism to me. Say it! ...Kudos, Doctor! A Meharrian. ONE Africa! ONE currency! ONE passport! ONE love! A United States of Africa, with free trade...I'd love to see her or Professor Patrick Lumumba as Africa's first President. It's time for us in the diaspora to go back home. It's time to build Africa. Period!
She is amazingly knowledgeable,gifted and spewing out nothing but the truth.
YNITED WE STAND 👍👍💪💪💪🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Excellent interview.
Thanks ambassador, the motherland Africa appreciate you so much, you're such a great woman God will continue to bless you🙏🏾🙏🏾
ua-cam.com/video/vbV--Ku2Hrwv/v-deo.html
If within the next five years Africa is United then this woman should be the President over the United States of Africa!!
AFRICAN PRESIDENTS......DR ARIKANA.....JOSHAU MAPONGA 111.......PROFESSOR LUMUMBA.....JULIUS MALEMA......
Yes absolutely correct all of them are the type of leaders we need,I couldn't agree more. I love them all.
..And Tanzania's John Magufuli
I love you Dr. Chihombori!! I am always inspired by your speeches.
Put this lady in power. She will bring some real change.
Dr Arikana should accept to be the chairman of African Union so she can teach others what need to be done
I love this leadership ❤Thanks Doctor Arikana👏👏👏
Facks! Dr Chihombori-Quao Every Word,✊🏾❤️
You are our beacon of hope and reason Only a black woman can tell it like it is without regret!! Stay strong no matter what. We need your type of leadership
Since I was born I hear the same story, the debt, the disempowerment of Africans, self hatred etc... but no leaders nor the civil society having a long term strategy to fight as one to address, plan, fund, influence, build for the achievement of this... their is so much knowledge available in the world, examples, African brains, it is hard to understand 🙏🏾✊🏾
This are the mind of leaders we want. Bravo!!!
Dr. Arikana Chihombori is the brilliant bring one Africa!!
She is going to unite us Black Africans.
Love this woman ❤️
We need a change in Africa. We need leaders like you Madam Ambassador
Long live Arikana!!!!
I just love this woman
