We Love You!
Some of us in Jamaica knows we're Africans not because we were not born in Africa but because African is born in us.. Peter Tosh said as long as we are a blk person we are an African.🇯🇲🇯🇲💯
True word
Exactly
No matter where you come from, as long as you are a black man you're an African. Peter Tosh
😂 shut up, obviously we all know we are Africans and other blacks outside of Africa you can’t be that slow to only think you found that out because Peter tosh 😂😂😂
Don't mind your nationality, u have identity of a african
No matter how sad, emotional a true life story could be, it must be told, it's our reality, Africa should work hard, visit home, build, transform & rebrand Africa to give it back it's precious name "Mama Africa" to avoid another wave of "Modern Gates Of No Return" from all parts of the world
Well said👑🥰🌻
best comment so far you are lighted🥰👌✍
Woow so true👏 . We are enslaving ourselves in the diaspora. Modern Gates of NO return. This really touched my heart.
Facts Fam 👏🏾
I have returned to Ghana in December and now Kenya in February. I bring with me the spirit of my deceased Jamaican parents who never saw where their ancestors were from. I know that they are joyful that I can travel to Africa! You have to remember that not everyone can afford these travels.
GOD BLESS YOU, I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME!!
I hope to be in Ghana for 14 days this June. I'm trying to find a tour group, do you have any suggestions ??? 💜
@@adlenaijomah3646 I traveled with Mahogany tours
I believe the only issues of travelling to Africa is simply because of higher exuberant of tickets
Am proud of you 👏❤
@@vinnettebennett4574
Thank You
This is so emotional because am a Jamaican living in the USA and because off you Wode Maya i learn so much about Africa and I know my ancestors is calling me home because that’s where my heart is. Have done my DNA and Benin and Togo is part of my DNA also Ghana but Nigeria 🇳🇬 is where I have the highest percentage which is 62% Kenya also as 12 % of my DNA so this is really emotional right now for me. I love Wode Maya because he’s the one open my eyes to Africa. I visited Nigeria 🇳🇬 in 2020 and it was the greatest experience I ever had and there’s no price tag on this visit. Keep on going Wode Maya because there’s a great reward in heaven for you ❤🙏🤗
I am also a Jamaican living in the USA with very similar DNA breakdown. My plan as long as the universe permits is to stand with bare feet on the soil of my ancestral homeland
You are both welcome. Lets keep venerating our ancestors, bless them up to 8 generations before thee because without them you wont be here...and bless your future self 8 generations ahead ... Africa will rise again🎯
Jamaican in France but my heart is in the motherland. As mixed as we are, our hearts are in Africa...only God can explain it. It's like a place for all of us to be accepted and united.
Welcome to Kenya.
@@florandirai1757 Hi ,thank you I really wanna visit that’s my next place to visit. I love Kenyans❤️
My DNA results show our female ancestors were brought to the USA from Sierra Leone. I've been home 3 times and in December 2022 I received citizenship of descent - I am grateful to be able to do this for my ancestors.
I saw Jamaican in the title and clicked so quickly. Jamaican watching from Rwanda. Great content, what more can I say!
Me too!
Hi
@@milleniumdistributorsltd4279 Hey
Hi Lady,
Fellow Jamaican here living in Canada. I want to hold an event there this year and would love to connect so we can network.
Rwanda how is it. I am Jamaican and that’s where I want to live in a few years.
Blessed love wode Maya. I'm a Jamaican living in Ghana, I have a show coming up in Akuma village Ghana, February 18 what a honor it will be to get wode Maya, interview goddess Akosua 🔥❤️❤️💯 ONE AFRICA
Hello
@@milleniumdistributorsltd4279 heart of love
Much blessings to you
@@klaw1425 give thanks 🔥❤️
Very touching Wode Maya especially as I am British born from Jamaican parents and now i have moved to The Motherland and very grateful and I feel Highly Blessed and Highly Favored
I came to Ghana last October and trust me I’m attached I’m going back this year
You can tell she has a beautiful soul. I am happy she was able to return home to connect with her ancestors. I hope more people will be inspired by her story.
Yes you can see the genuineness in her I always acknowledge my ancestors
Yes I agree she has a beautiful soul. I can see and feel it real one's needs to move out of Babylon cuz the most HIGH is coming for them 🇰🇾🇯🇲
l have been to the door of no return in Benin. Victory Mama Africa 🇬🇭
I will have to go there too whenever I visit Africa. I have passed through Benin Republic to Ghana many years when I was doing buying and selling before leaving Africa to Europe, I never know that there is a place Benin called a door of no return. A big thank you to Wode Maya for showing us Africans in diaspora this.
No matter where you come from..as long as you’re black man you’re an African... don’t mind your complexion.. you’ve got the identity of an African...
I loved this video. It made me cry. I am from the United States. I WILL return someday soon.
Tears are blessings from the lord and may he Almighty Allah bless you abundantly amen and make it easy for you to visit the mother land 🙏❤
Please we are waiting for your return may GOD provide for you
I love Africa. I love the culture. I have not gone in years. My adult kids who are half Nigerian are planning a trip there next year. My oldest son has traveled nearly around the world and he said it is a shame he identifies as Nigerian and hasn’t gone home since he was a kid. Love from 🇺🇸. I AM AFRICAN.
Lack of patriotism in your family
@@okuomose1 you can't define patriotism for anyone! Stop being ignorant!
She has spoken for me 😢😢I cry but not in pain but In hope.
🇯🇲 I have to visit the Mother Land!
May Almighty Allah bless you abundantly amen and make it easy for you to visit the mother land amen 🙏 🙌
This was very moving. I have returned three times...Ghana, Senegal and Benin.
Try And Visit Badgry lagos Nigeria you will See The Chain ⛓ That the European use to take our people away
My brother, as a Jamaican, when she said we lost our name and don't know what tribe we belong, it brings tears to my eyes. Many of us out here kept on saying the same thing, we don't know our true name or families.
May Almighty Allah bless you
@@klaw1425 she will be blessed by her, African ancestors
@@klaw1425 Allah is part of the problem. The English had pleaded with Arab And African Muslims to stop enslaving Africans and they refused, citing it is allowable in Islam. Slavery in Saudi Arabia finally stopped in the 1960’s as a condition of the oil deals with The West.
@@driversseat1707 Allah means God ,stop your ignorance prejudice and Islamophobia. You are sore throat liar, bring your proof if you're truthful.
@@driversseat1707 why English didn't bring the goods gold and those resources they robbed from ghana and continent in general
You can tell this sister has inner peace.The tides are changing and the great awakening has already begun.As the european/western nations continue to decay,the african continent will continue to become a place of return/refuge for the sons and daughters of the continent.Once we all go back home,the european/west is finished.May we all realise,experience and contribute to the rebirth and great change that is coming for africa by africans,Ase.Wode my beloved brother,keep up the great work and may the msot high continue to bless you
No body can change that which it's time has come. Brothers and sisters come home.Also let our leaders not be entisised by the Western Countries who all they desire is to rob us .
she has chosen to forgive her ancestors hence blessing the land and so I believe the healing she called for will come. thank you sis.
A South African watching from Ghana 🇬🇭
Am a proud AfroCarribbean from the island of st.kitts 🇰🇳🇰🇳🇰🇳🇰🇳
Am preparing to come back home. Been out for seven years. I pray for abundance to be able to settle back home. I have learned alot . While leaving Africa I thought greener pastures was out here but no. The reverse is the truth. I miss mother Africa. Even if not in the corrupted country Cameroon I come from. I will surely find a home in the neighbouring countries. Much love brother. Keep up the good work🌻
Oh please do. Will be the best
Sister come back home to your country, your vibration can turn things around. I innerstand your perspective but we can change Cameroon with time. Beside Babylon is falling and our ancestors are back in flesh and spirit.
Tell me where there's no corruption and I'll tell you it's not on earth 🌍. Truly my friend wherever you are NOW, corruption runs rampant. Interestingly, the way they present their corruption is so inately wicked that you're not aware untill you are caught between a rock and a hard place. Remember the debts you incur trying to own a house or a car, or going to school to educate yourself for " the perfect job" ???? Remember the threats you get vis mail, collection agencies, constant messages and calls you receive?? These may be assumptions, but if most people are honest, they'll identify themselves and their experience in this... corruption looks pretty and legal.....but once you sign on the line, you are bound. Working from pay check to paycheck, never ever getting out due to interest rates etc.....I can go on and on and on...but I believe you got the picture... corruption is everywhere but in the west, it's devise to control your very existence and your destiny. Therefore, go build your motherland, become innovative. Blessings always 🙏
@@audreyhamilton3502 On point Sis!
My dear, every African country is in some state of corruption, go back home to your own people and find peace ✌
I am a Barbadian who always says "I am an African" and so proud of it. Thanks be to the Lord for allowing us to be here despite the cruel oppression our forefathers and foremothers went through. I wish I was monetary and physical able to visit, but if you can, do it!
Thanks you for this video I am a jamaican 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🙏🙏🙏
I was born in Jamaica but I know am AFRICAN and soon I will return. I always say we lost meaning we was taken from our land from our culture, spirituality, names and our language just imagine.
🇯🇲✊🏾
Woda Maya may you live a thousand years my brother. Thank you for what you do.
My country 🇧🇯🇧🇯 Thanks Wode!!!
I'm first person here. And I'm crying for this video 😭😭😭😭. Thank you wode Maya for this video. It made me to reflect on so many things
The way she speaks to the ancestors is very moving! I truly believe that healinh our collective trauma starts with returning and paying proper homage to our ancestors.
I had a dream two years ago where a world-wind whisked me and children to AFRICA-thanks to #WodeMaya and #BlaXit I have returned.
To touch The Mother Land is a different feeling all together! Go experience it for yourself!
I am now advanced in age. In my youth I could never finish a chapter on slavery but these presentations encourage me to listen as they are not only about the misery of slavery but also celebrate the resilience of their off springs who are willing to come back. It is true in Africa you won’t be “ beaten for being black” though Adela is still developing But I feel it is developing very fast. I would also encourage people to come back and build, develop and enjoy your mother land. I am also emotional. Wodemaya mayGod lprotect you.always❤
It's true, knowing your roots somehow open your eyes and mindset
This is powerful ❤❤❤
She speaks so beautifully and inspiring too❤️❤️❤️❤️.
What best life can´t she live in England but see she has come to glorify our ancestors.
Am really tourched of this video, lets come back as Maya said not coming in with your bags but come and esperience AFRICA!
If BLACK wins AFRICA win!, lets all come back together to support our continent AFRICA!✊🤜🤛
Wow that gate is historical and hey Benin holds some strong legacy thanks for this episode this is Epic and impressive
One of the most amazing things that you can observe in the morning been done by street vendors who set up stalls to sell either in the markets or on the roadside in Jamaica is the pouring of libations. I don't think that they know what they are doing but they do it but they do it everyday 🇯🇲.
Everything is here, Africa is our home, such a beautiful story, thanks Wode Maya, more blessings from above upon your life 🙏🏽
This one touched the soul.
This lovely lady is truly Spiritual, trust me. This reminds me of the very first time I visited Gambia in 2018. It was my first time in Africa. I recall going to the mini hotel supermarket and purchasing around 6 small bottles of Strong alcohol, and heading to the beach the next day. To pour libations to the Ancestors. I remember pouring Whisky, Rum, Gin, and Red wine at the waters edge. And calling out The Ancestors. "I said to all my Ancestors known and unknown and all my cousins and Brethren that was stolen from West Africa rest in peace. To those who jumped ship and died at sea rest in peace. And to all the families that were left behind rest in peace. Your great great great grandson is back".
It was such an emotional sensation that made my blood feel so warm all over my body. And that night I had some of the most powerful dreams I have ever had. Africa is the most Magical place you will ever find.
Biggasmelly' thats a strange name but I'm glad your 1st visit to Africa' The Gambia was a good experience
I'm happy for the prayer/ libation that you poured down to our ancestors.
Beautiful! "For we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses..." Amen. Ase!!!
I have such admiration of this lady, what you did has removed a big cloud around you, would like to visit this place as African, in the southern of Africa slavery was within from our colonisers and still there.
Biggasmelly is my online name. Yes thanks for your comment. I Actually live in Gambia now..And I love it so much!!
Very powerful interview 👌🏾🖤
What is dramatic today is that History is repeating itself with the Mediterranean Sea becoming a great cemetery for African youth fleeing the neocolonialism of the 21st century!
Sad. We shall overcome
Wow just wow, I am speechless and tearing right now.
WODE MAYA thank you so very kindly for what you are doing for us and our continent.
Me too brotha
This is a beautiful video thanks Maya I love to listen to history I never forget my ancestors In Africa Viewing from Jamaica 🇯🇲👍👍👍👍
Woda Maya, I like how you speak truth without fear of what they might say. When you said it's sad that they are commercializing our return, that so damn true. Why do we have to pay in order to go back to the land of our ancestors? The land of their own that was taken away into all that tribulations that they endured. This is wickedness what they are doing to us. Some don't even want to have a conversation about our return.
The difference between this comment and this video, is that this comment is solely focused on one negative accept of the entire message in the video. Wode is able to criticize the commercializing the year of return, without losing focus of his message. Perhaps, one important message is that Wode said not all Diaspora should go to Ghana but they are free to go to any country where their DNA reveals. There are other countries that are not commercializing year of return.
What did u or do u have to pay to return apart from the usual flight tickets, hotel bills and food...?
Use the brain.
@@blessedAfrikan217 Take your own advice and use your brain to answer the question posed to you. Are you expecting developing countries whose citizens survive on about a dollar a day to foot your bill? The level of entitlement some of you have is out of this world!
Please don't stop doing wonderful videos like this... 🙏 It opens our mind to understand what they did to us.
Unite Africa, unite Africannes !!
Bro very well spoken you almost convinced me to visit Africa even though I did not want to. I feel that African Chiefs and leaders sold my ancestors to slavery they owe us for all the wealth my Ancestors left behind and the suffering of 400+ years of oppression. I love your videos
Come home my brother, there’s more wealth that your ancestors left here in the motherland Africa, but the syndrome of Africans sold their own ancestors are lies that was stated by the western educational institutions, so don’t buy into that, because we know who owns and hold the guns and the plantations. Peace ✌🏿
It is in the same vein that Marcus Garvey was sold … always remember some of those who collaborated in the trade jumped on the boats and joined you in Jamaica so don’t waste time on African chiefs n people worry about what’s going on in Jamaica … please stay leave africa alone we have enough problems
Wow,Wode Maya you're the man.
Nuff respect ma man
Love 💖 your work
Bless up 🙏🙏
Watching from the land downunder Sydney NSW Australia
This is such emotional history, thanks for documenting this with us and l agree with you on letting their feet step on the motherland to feel at home 🤗😍
Please show us more of Benin 🇧🇯 the festivals 🎊 and the way of living! Thank you and be blessed, shalom
My heart is full. I am living in England but I must return one day.
What a Beautiful spirit she has! I can't wait to visit. Thank you Wode Maya!
Has Haitian I love going to Benin republic I been there 3 times it was so nice for me to see my people
How do you find life there?
Wow I really loved what Georgina was saying , pouring libation to the Ancestor on the beach ⛱ beautifully displayed to the Ancestors 😎 🙏
I am so bless to see a jamaica putting her feet on ours mother land thanks you my son for this videos i am sonia from jamaica i always wash your videos of all that happening i my mother land may God continue to bless you
Talking to the ancestors, is something a lot of people in Surinam are doing that by throwing Water from the calabash on the ground!! We aks them to be with us treu our yourney here on earth!!
Africa to the world 🌎 🎉
The humility of her soul. She radiates a a calmness. Love this video, the drone shots, the narration with the cutaways. Her feet on the sand…
There is power in knowing your roots and history. Knowing where you come from will free your mind!! Every black person should set foot on the African soil before you exist the world!!!
🇯🇲🇯🇲 a Lion born in Jamaica is still a lion - African is our predominant race - Jamaica is a land of our birth and we appreciate the initiation journey through those lands and the triumph- but it’s time to return
I'm planning my visit to Ghana this year 2023 in Oct
Thanks wode Maya I really appreciate for what y've did👏 to our Mather land Africa 🌍
As she spoke I felt like it was me speaking...
She has and is doing tge right thing..
Thank you Maya, this speaks like nothing else...
I think it's trauma that possibly affects all black people on this planet. I grew up in the Caribbean and consider myself African. However, over my lifetime I've met many people born in Africa who go out of their way to tell me I am not African.
Africa is in you. Runs through your veins same way it runs through my veins. You are my sibling in another continent. Forget about those who tell you you are not African. I'm a Kenyan and warmly embrace you and all that feel the connection to The Motherland. Mama Africa never abandons her children. Your roots grow deep and strong in Africa.
Yes some peace ignorant indeed I have worked with people from West indies who are even darker that myself and claim to be of Asian descent. Ignorance is in all of us but we need to re educate. Ourselves and unite
Once you are a Jamaican u are an African
You should not leave a human being define your personnality.
Sadly the propaganda against black people is insidious poison ☠️ We are Black and we are proud.😊✊🏿
❤❤ from 🇬🇭🇬🇭, her tone and everything she said was spot on
My mother home has been calling for me it is just a matter of time. One love from Jamaica
Maya please try and bring this lady to Ghana she's a true daughter of Africa, the things she says means she's been directed by the ancestors.
I almost cried, this was emotional 🥹
Her personal journey from an English countryside to Dahomey/ Benin was very touching and had represented closure.
May our ancestors grant her the inner peace and balance she and other millions are seeking to become whole.
Well ✔️ done @Wode Maya. Good upload. The woman looked at peace and reconnected,am sure if her fathersees the video, he might change his mind.
I visited Benin in 2018. I visited Ouidah and traveled from the market to the door of no return. It was a very emotional journey.
As the great Rasta poet Muta Baruka said a cow born in a pig's pen is still a cow no matter what an African born in Jamaica America Canada or UK is still an African no matter what
How l wish to just visit this such places it keeps me thinking why african why we cant unite
Great job watching live from Japan 🇯🇵 🇺🇬
I'm MAYA! Thank you a lot for all what you are doing , for all African youths needs the best information from you across African !!
Love you Brother
Thank you Wode Maya for what you do telling our stories and showing us it's important we Africans love each other and work together. 2:50 "we cannot run away from story like this" I agree 100%
Thank you for returning to the Mother Land. Our ancestors will be proud of you.
@Wode Maya, u are just amazing and a very good story teller. Keep up the good work bro👍
We are our ancestors in spirit and flesh. They are always with us and sends us information's via dreams meditation and via enlightened masters. Thanks Maya !!!
Got information on a land for sale, any enlightened person looking for land in the continent???
Warning!!! I wouldn't entertain anyone looking for land for commercial purpose.
Africa need more farmers and enlightened master to change our narrative and not business tycoons.
Watched this video a second time. But this time, I watched around 2am and in the stillness of the night, it was sobering. Thanks.
This lady has an awesome voice, great interview
Absolutely beautiful! Can't stop tears from flowing
Wode! One of the best interview you have ever made since have been following you from China. I am born and raise in Nigeria spend almost four decades in the States I was moved into tears. Kudos to you!
I can feel the sadness in her voice.
You’ve done it again wode. I just got South Africa yesterday and second time to Africa. Im here in SA because of you. I saw the real South Africa interview you did with mark and dr. Latasha Blanton. This video made me tear up and give more thanks to be able to return home. I hope to meet you in Africa one day! You are truly a humble soul who is changing the narrative of Africa and Africans returning home. You are truly a Real Revolutionary!!! Ase
Im very happy to know that you are in Bénin. This vidéo make me cry because of a personnal History. Im from Bénin. May God forgive ancestors participate in this slavery trade. Thank you Wode maya
@wodemaya Mozambique does have a centre called Sofala, where they used to trade slaves too. Check on that too. It seems no one talks or mentions about it! Thank you so much for changing the mindset of so many people about Africa! You opened the eyes of so many people. It’s high time black people learn or teach history of both Black Africans and black Americans in schools
@wodemaya #WodeMaya. It's rare for me to dream about ppl, but I dreamt last night that you,my brother and I were chatting, laughing and I was showing you around in my home country #BeninRepublic #Dahomey #Vododonland #VodunLand .
Brother, it means that u and I will cross paths in a very positive way.
Another thing. I hope you had time to enjoy yourself in my beautiful country 🇧🇯🔥,and also many videos to show this underrated country in the whole of #Afrika
#MrGhanababy #AfricatotheWorld.
Thank you!
From #BeninRepublic and living in the diaspora!!!
Thank you for doing this Wode. It’s so hard to watch and listen to I always cry so I can’t imagine how hard it is for you to do but stories like this must be told so we can heal and grow. Our ancestors are with us❤
Everybody go get The Roots mini series of 1977 and the new Roots movie series that came out in 2016. Happy Black History Month Everybody!
Well done great king wode !! This sister is a beautiful soul ❤❤❤❤
Wow!!! She is VERY spiritual 👍🏽🙏🏽. A very beautiful and wonderful soul. May heaven answer all her prayers- Amen 🙏🏽
It's true alot of us from the Caribbean Islands don't know which African nation our ancestors came from and its not that we're ignorant we never do the research..I will make a point of looking into my history
Africans need to accept our Africaness
I’m Jamaican and I’m coming home Wode ❤ many are still under the spell of slavery and indoctrination and Christianity
This made me cry
I am African American and I AM AN AFRICAN!!!
🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🎉👑🌍
I am from Jamaica and my dream is to visit Ghana one of these days. You are doing a great job Wode maya showing us Africa on a whole.
The drone showings me Benni 🌎l am British 67 years my Dad was African l will visit 🇬🇧God willing
Believe you're not old come back please!
Glad for this because not only is there a divide between Diasporans and Continental, but between anglophone and francophone Africa.
Thank you Wode Maya for your relentless work to highlight our wonderful continent, Africa! Very happy to see this beautiful daughter of Jamaican Father, doing libation at the 'door of no return', in Benin? The cruel invaders/dividers/coloinzers/tricksters were wrong! The Spirit of our beloved ancestors lives on forever in our hearts and will NEVER DIE! ALUTA CONTINUA!!!!
They are crying for justice.
