Mark, please continue to tell the truth, even though some people may not like hearing the real truth. We need to know the truth for many different reasons. The truth that we know can help to make us free, in every area of our lives. Thank you for sharing, Mr. Pioneer!
I believe that people who speak the truth, contribute to making a difference in the lives of others In this case, Mark is helping identify the problem that stop people to succeed and progress in life and one of them is the negativity
3:25-3:31 “ ...I remember the vision I had for Tanzania and what I wanted to do there and still do and will do.” Voila! Sounding like a leader. Very encouraging and hopeful. We are in the continent to stay, to vacation, to retire, to do business,etc... as do whites Americans, Arabs, Asians, Europeans, Chinese, and others. We can not retreat at the first setback. We can overcome local challenges because they are temporary. They are not fatalities, nor insurmountable calamities. We must be present in the continent in greater numbers like others because we belong here too. Stay the course .
Dont know much about Oshay or whoever you're talking about but i know youre great guy with a positive energy, extremely inteligent and humble, your determination is at top level, your mission in Tanzania and Africa is clear, to bring and help diaspora, but the problem i saw is youre too nice, some people you associate with are just passport bros.... they do have completely different mission from yours, your channel is very interesting to watch because you give so much information about everything but when you have people whose goals is to just mess around with as many women as they can find in these coutries ,that really messes things up
Mark, 400+ years is a LONG time to be gone 😢 Obviously, many come with exaggerated expectations, borne out of 400 years of propaganda and lies, etc. But experience is a good teacher. With resilience, Africa is still the BEST option for TRUE freedom loving African Americans.
As long as we humans have this idealistic notion that people who look like us and are of our same race are all our people we will continue to set ourselves up for disappointment. We have not yet evolved to the point of realizing that a real human being is built from the inside out and not from the outside in regardless of what race they are or how they look.😔
OSHAY IS A GOOD GUY!! VERY GENEROUS. I too met him on one of their concert , & he bought me lunch simply cos I am a long time follower. Also the lady, think it Joana, something like that.
Is Oshay is an entertainer . Think PEOPLE magazine. The dude is working so hard and successful. He built is podcast from the ground up. He is a good guy. He is bringing people UP with him.
Mark, please make your own judgment calls about people. Never go on someone else's judgment of a person. Because sometimes they might have had a bad day that day or they might have just gotten off on the wrong foot or whatever. But I've learned to judge people by my own experience with them hopefully you'll do the same .
Mark, you have a way of articulating issues so clearly and wisely. I've NEVER "met" a young person as level headed as yourself. Keep on keeping on. God bless.
As a Merge investor, I have a better understanding now of what you are going through. I was wondering how things were going and have to check myself for not being as patient and understanding. Keep doing ya thing my brutha 👍🏽
Every time I see you , you remind me of my late uncle Hammerton. I am Zambian and I will take you in as my baby brother. I do care. Coming back home in 2 and half years hope to meeting you God willing. I have been away from home since 2002😢 time to come back home 🇿🇲
Thanks Mark for being honest about the criticism of Oshay, as he is a very honest and blunt on camera as l am like. Like me, we tell the truth, sometimes without a smile. He did not try to exploit you.
I get what you're saying because from day one stepping off the plane I should have seen what I was in for, but I brushed it off as a one off experience not to let that incident deter me. Boy was I wrong. Being in Africa is not a culture shock but dealing with the people is. And if you and others are saying that most all of Africans are that way then maybe I should try a Caribbean country. We will see, I'll give it at least six more months when my lease will be up.
Yeah part of the problem is that when black diaspora go to Africa they go there as individuals and not as a organized group there on a mission for change. Nobody can do anything by themselves, let alone have the financial backing to support change. But a group of motivated and organized diaspora that put there finances together would make change and have the financial backing to have a seat at the table right next to the Chinese.
@@princessprincess7708 When I say black diaspora I am talking about any "black /African" person who currently live in other parts of the world not just America that want to go back to Africa. And please stop acting like a black person from America is seen differently from a black person in Africa you go anywhere in this world " You are still black "

Hello Mark Thank you for speaking your truth I feel you I understand you. I have gone through the worse you will ever. hear. I am still trying to work it out. I see no possibility 18:09 because in some situations the other parties are willingly set up a road block to keep me from address.I have not given up but now I pray to the Most High for help and guidance. It. ain't over without justice comes bitterness I am absolutely sure things will change for the better. I hope to meet with you one day and I will share my story.

Oshay Duke Jackson is an OK person. He's not like you. He is very blunt and direct. The only thing I don't like about him is that he attacks other black people a lot, without receipts and his constant use of the "n" word. Mark, you are a very positive person. I really admire you because you are so wise and well-mannered. Keep it up!
The mind is not set at all. It is how it is. Lol You ever hear some are Afraid of the some Africa countries minds ? Sudan , Somali, North Nigeria, middle east , Pakistan . The mind is not set . It is its nature.
Oshay is a real nice brother they are jealous. Toxic people I been sub his channel from the beginning he never changed ask Auston he treated him royally
O'Shay is good on and off camera. Because he is straight forward and speaks the truth does not deem him a bad person. Do not let people's insecurities poison your mind against anyone. You are the best judge of character. Some people just cannot handle the truth. Most people are cowards and cannot confront anything or anyone. Covid has proven this as many sheeple were led straight into the pasture of fire without thinking, and that seems to be the majority. Blessings!
Nothing to do with insecurities. The man is filthy and he needs to stop talking about us with brown skin. We are not black colour. This is black■■■■ I look nothing like him if he thinks he is bblac not everyone is his colour.
To know that the disappointments have not discouraged you , shows how great your mentality is and even if you are not seeking any sort of sympathy, it’s good to know that many people share your sentiments. Africa will take your soul because you love it and even though we want to paint a good picture , the continent still has a lot of work to do to get to the promised land. As for the Duke , he’s good to many people and until he proves you wrong , good head on your shoulders to keep an open mind. Stay blessed!
Well said. I appreciate all of the good, the bad, and the ugly discussions and information. I’d rather know what’s going on from various perspectives as it aids in planning and preparation for when my family and I visit and eventually relocate to the land. I appreciate everyone over there that are paving the way for the future. Much love and respect.
The same thing happened to me in Gambia. I was starting to despise people cos of how negative and manipulative some of them can be. But after a while i got used to it lol and it stopped fazing me. I will always love Gambia though and its still where im gonna be in the near future.
Thank you for your content! Love your intelligence and your spirit. I’ve traveled to Ghana from America (New Orleans) and I loved it. Would love to go back to the continent one day to visit other places. You are an inspiration! 🙏🏾
People don’t like to hear the truth I don’t know the guy but been following him for a while and seems to me that he cares about his people and I have listen to others talk about this guy and it’s all been positive no one likes people that is blunt and tell the truth it is what it is it’s life and reality that’s the problem we been lied to for so long that when you see something different we don’t like it sad but true bro you can’t listen what people say you have to judge the man for yourself 👍🏾
Hey Mark~ Your positive energy is so wonderful and welcoming. I have to agree with you…but you have some people who don’t face or don’t get a hold of their traumas, hurt, pain and brokenness. And what ends up happening is that they wear a mask, and personality changes like the wind. They will use their negativity as a form of control and manipulation and get mad at you for not subscribing to it. Never assuming responsibility for their own demise and use the past traumas and hurt to garner sympathy/attention/neediness. Negativity is a mental/emotional/psychological cancer. One thing I have heard over and over from diaspora who have moved to Africa and citizens of Africa … “Africa Will Chew You Up and Spit You Out “ if you don’t face yourself. People sometimes don’t realize “You Can Be Your Own Worse Enemy” TMH YAH’s hand is moving and change is coming.. HE’S always in control and HIS set-apart people will no longer be the tail… Be patient.. endure to the end! Love you Mark.. keep up the great work your doing.
Thanks for sharing your experience, in general Africans nor African Americans are united, instead very competitive. African Americans need to do extensive study on Africa and the particular area that they're going into. The freedom we have in America, the values, the laws they are just not the same. Africa is our homeland but it's also a land that we were forced out of due to division amongst brothers. Now there are even more reasons to be divided in the minds of some people (complexion, hair, money, language etc...). I love that you are trying to make it better.
Also there is the constant yearning amongst many Africans to emulate Western ways. Sometimes with an inferiority complex. sadly the policemen when they wear a uniform 😢in some instances are given ammunition they behave the way they think police should based on what they see in films or the news in the west. Especially the US. So sad.
Thanks Mark for keeping us aware and making us THINK! You’re an awesome and intelligent young man; can wait to meet and see all that’s you’ve brought into fruition thus far!! 👀 May God continue to bless and keep you forever more….🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I really believe you... I feel the same way. Negativity and negative people and enviroment can be fatal in the loong run. By being better orginize and have a plan, will help us avoid unnecessary energy losses and financial pitfalls. Look at Westerners, Indians, Chinese, and Arabs. They already have an implementation plan ready before coming to Africa, they have their own in place who have gone through all the hurdles and they share the challenges with each other. I have a strong feeling that we have more difficulty with that kind of cooperation between us. Coming to Africa with an individual mindset may be good but try to find like-minded people who are still striving towards the same or similar goals. You can always learn from each other's experiences. If you can't find or feel like you fit into a community, it's enough to have 1-2 with the same mentality and mindset as you close. And have 2-3 honest good-hearted locals close by as well, and slowly work yourself towards in your own pace.
This is a great way to put it. Thank you for sharing. Hopefully one day our community will grow and members of the community will find peace and harmony together and eventually we will merge with other African communities
@@paulkelly873 where is he showing Africa. ? His contents is all about gossiping and judging celebrities and so called black women. Nothing educational
Hi Mark, I will be arriving in TZ in 2 weeks ( LORD willing🙏🏽 ) and would love to meet up and talk with you and just get your thoughts on how it is for us African Americans over there. I’m moving from MD.
Keep up the good work. please don’t get discouraged. We need pioneers people to pave the road. I am one of those people like you described. I put $60,000 into Ghana and all I have is land and a fence and possibly a gate but I’m getting ready to change into something different but Aleta Isreal is a pioneer to In Ghana and she is building a community maybe you should go to Ghana and visit with her and you guys put your ideas together
Hi Mark. Such a handsome young man you are! I'm sure you make your mother proud. I hope one day I'll be able to go to Africa. Financially, its not very possible for me now. I tried to start a business from a distance (in Sierra Leone). But things move so slow.... so slow its hard to figure if I actually made a profit or not lol. I think I have to use a different method to make roots over there.
Mark thank you for keeingit real. Yu are the first I've heard admit they don't see a as family. We are seen as Americans especially when we come with the American attitude.
Africa is always a challenge. You state things very clearly. I hear everything you're saying. First, Oshay. I would be shocked if you experience anything negative about him. He has always seemed to me to be very intelligent and creative. Second, as you were talking I thought of something. I know nothing about Tanzania. Every country has individuals who are really good at business. If you got like five very successful Tanzanian businesspeople and had a meeting between them and like 10 African Americans in Tanzania who were looking to start a business with like $20,000, what would the Tanzanian business people advise you to do? Let's say they said that $20,000 was not enough to start anything. What would be the minimum required? And what type of businesses would they suggest? Would such businesses be possible if done by African Americans? If not, why? What would be the barriers? Don't mind me. I'm just thinking out loud. 😀
I get what you saying, But All the scammers, will soon gets what's coming to them, And it does get easier because after wards we learn from those ordeal , The scammers become Clearer Seen. And We learn ,How to Protect Ourself, from the Robbers ,
What reasons warrant people to say stay away from Oshay? I guess people don't want to hear the reality truth... Oshay is indeed a good jolly fellow and you can't beat that
I felt very bad after watching the interview on (Kenganda) when you said that you don't like Tanzania anymore, I just don't know what happened at the border. You yourself were the first country that you loved and you lived for a long time until you were loved and accepted by its beautiful people. Today, only one person makes you hate them, it hurts me a lot too. when you go to do those interviews, everyone is happy when you talk about bad things about Tanzania, you can love the country very much but one day something will come to annoy you and that is common all over the world, it hurts me a lot that one or even 5 people should not make you hate the country because every time you go you will be asked why you left Tanzania, you will have to say its bad just a case of one more person from the region again from the border where you were sitting peacefully. plz go back to tanzania it is one of the very peaceful countries
And land inflates rather fast in tz is nothing new. Even 3 years ago when u were fresh in the country the real estate in Dar I guarantee the plots or houses for sale there were also 10x the original price. Buying land is for sure a good investment not a bad thing
...Im with WHOEVER is given You Sound Advice, Okay..PLEASE, PAY- Attention more & More & MORE.!!! Love You Ah WhOLE- BUNCHES..💯 🙏🕊🙏💕 Shabbat Shalom 🔯 💓 ..please pray for the Peace of Jerusalem..🇮🇱 💌🙏🕊🙏😇
Reflection is good to change course for the better. I hated where I am but that reflection I did on myself for my masters dissertation helped me see the positive side and course. Since then I was able to choose a positive path for me to live my life..
I have been to Tanzania twice in 2021 and 2022 the experience was balance and I intend to return again soon but some of people I know there is telling me to send 4 thousand dollars to buy land and another couple thousand to start building house but you saying 500 for land🤔
If it’s highly corrupted.. buy a house, apartment or condo, not land..if you want to stay in peace and not feel bad about a place.. talking from experience.
I would say don't send any money especially thousands of dollars. You need to be on the ground (meaning there) to see if the land is there, if it's available, who owns it, the owner's asking price, and know the process to have legitimate documents. It's not like in any of the United States' land purchases and deeds.
Sadly the mentality that existed then still exist now and tribalism is still a factor in decision making at large in a lot of Africa. But with time and effort and a lot of education on all sides, we will overcome these challenges.
In reality we are not close family. We might have similar phenotypes but we have been separated 400 years. We are westernized more than them. They have develop a different culture from us. We don’t have grand parents, uncles and family. We just have the same phenotypes and that is not enough. They are the majority not us going to Africa.
Lying cheating and stealing are expected in business and in many cases, seen as favorable traits and dishonesty is a very useful tool here. Those are some of the less terrible things.
Wow, "the less terrible"@@markmeetsafrica well, I'll keep watching and liking young man. You are built for this, you are called to do it, and you are truly making history.
Yes I rather hear and know the ugly truth, then beauty of it. For example I heard a lot of why NOT to join the United States military. But I heard good things… I joined and my time was great… after 4 years I ended working with the team from hell. But I know that wasn’t the military just some evil people. I got hurt etc. but I would still recommend it to people. Therefore keep with the facts and stories
Hey Mark. I have been watching your video for sometime and what I have noticed about you is that, you are a different person when not in Tanzania. In Tanzania you are more irritable, in other countries you seems to be more at peace. I like this side of you more.
I uses to be this way all the time if you look back at my old videos. You are right in that I am a bit more irritable in Tanzania. I gave that place my heart and it stepped on it.
It's cool Mark I'll cut these people some slack. I don't know Oshay personally but I'm familiar with his rhetoric. This may be a persona he uses. But it creates a response good or bad. Also some of the people who he venerates are bigoted xenophobes towards specifically African immigrants. So people who are calling him PanAfrican don't see the hypocrisy. But hey, as you say people deserve a chance and I begrudgingly agree with that sentiment.

Negativity is a mental/emotional/psychological cancer.
One thing I have heard over and over from diaspora who have moved to Africa and citizens of Africa … “Africa Will Chew You Up and Spit You Out “ if you don’t face yourself. People sometimes don’t realize “You Can Be Your Own Worse Enemy”
TMH YAH’s hand is moving and change is coming.. HE’S always in control and HIS set-apart people will no longer be the tail… Be patient.. endure to the end!
Love you Mark.. keep up the great work your doing.
...@YahsLuv 4972, Wow !!! You Spoke for Me, & Thankyou ..💯🤗💓🙏🙏
Thank you for these wonderful and wise words. I will hold on and push forward 💛💛💛🙏🏽🙌🏾💯✊🏾
Thanks for sharing your experience, in general Africans nor African Americans are united, instead very competitive. African Americans need to do extensive study on Africa and the particular area that they're going into. The freedom we have in America, the values, the laws they are just not the same. Africa is our homeland but it's also a land that we were forced out of due to division amongst brothers. Now there are even more reasons to be divided in the minds of some people (complexion, hair, money, language etc...). I love that you are trying to make it better.
Also there is the constant yearning amongst many Africans to emulate Western ways. Sometimes with an inferiority complex. sadly the policemen when they wear a uniform 😢in some instances are given ammunition they behave the way they think police should based on what they see in films or the news in the west. Especially the US. So sad.
Freedom In America? 😂😂😂😂 ok
Thanks Mark for keeping us aware and making us THINK! You’re an awesome and intelligent young man; can wait to meet and see all that’s you’ve brought into fruition thus far!! 👀 May God continue to bless and keep you forever more….🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for watching 💛
I really believe you... I feel the same way. Negativity and negative people and enviroment can be fatal in the loong run. By being better orginize and have a plan, will help us avoid unnecessary energy losses and financial pitfalls. Look at Westerners, Indians, Chinese, and Arabs. They already have an implementation plan ready before coming to Africa, they have their own in place who have gone through all the hurdles and they share the challenges with each other.
I have a strong feeling that we have more difficulty with that kind of cooperation between us. Coming to Africa with an individual mindset may be good but try to find like-minded people who are still striving towards the same or similar goals. You can always learn from each other's experiences.
If you can't find or feel like you fit into a community, it's enough to have 1-2 with the same mentality and mindset as you close. And have 2-3 honest good-hearted locals close by as well, and slowly work yourself towards in your own pace.
This is a great way to put it. Thank you for sharing. Hopefully one day our community will grow and members of the community will find peace and harmony together and eventually we will merge with other African communities
Oshay Duke Jackson is a good man, a leader, a professional and child of God. While not perfect, we are all a work in progress.
Leading who?
@@princessprincess7708 leading by example Sister.. actually Going to Africa and showing y'all what it be like. that's all..
@@paulkelly873 where is he showing Africa. ?
His contents is all about gossiping and judging celebrities and so called black women. Nothing educational
@princessprincess7708 to be fair he had interviewers on business people on the continent
@@princessprincess7708 The example I was referring to was about those who actually went to Africa.. nothing else. I don't know anything else about him
❤🫶🏾🫂 take care Mark, thanks for bringing us along on your journey😊
It's the mentality. I don't know but am sure Zambia alot of foreigners settle in with much ease.
Very level and independent more wisdom and blessings to you!
Great 👍 video again. Thanks my son 🙏 praying for you and others trying to make the best of sometimes bad situations.
Hi Mark, I will be arriving in TZ in 2 weeks ( LORD willing🙏🏽 ) and would love to meet up and talk with you and just get your thoughts on how it is for us African Americans over there. I’m moving from MD.
Awesome! 🎉
Good take.
Keep up the good work. please don’t get discouraged. We need pioneers people to pave the road. I am one of those people like you described. I put $60,000 into Ghana and all I have is land and a fence and possibly a gate but I’m getting ready to change into something different but Aleta Isreal is a pioneer to In Ghana and she is building a community maybe you should go to Ghana and visit with her and you guys put your ideas together
I am going to Ghana soon. Hopefully before the year is out
Make sure you look up Aleta Isreal Ghana Consultations. You won’t be disappointed.
Hi Mark. Such a handsome young man you are! I'm sure you make your mother proud. I hope one day I'll be able to go to Africa. Financially, its not very possible for me now. I tried to start a business from a distance (in Sierra Leone). But things move so slow.... so slow its hard to figure if I actually made a profit or not lol. I think I have to use a different method to make roots over there.
Thank yoy and I hope so too. I hope we get our stuff together as a community so we can move like one and build 🙏🏽
I wish somebody would just tell the truth about what’s going on over there.
Same here but when I did, either people didn't believe it or they didn't want to hear it. Mainly the second one.
Hello Mark you are doing an amazing job educated us on your experiences.
Mark thank you for keeingit real. Yu are the first I've heard admit they don't see a as family. We are seen as Americans especially when we come with the American attitude.
Yes, units going to take some workto make a road for us to comfortably be here
You're making sense my Brother.
Africa is always a challenge. You state things very clearly. I hear everything you're saying. First, Oshay. I would be shocked if you experience anything negative about him. He has always seemed to me to be very intelligent and creative. Second, as you were talking I thought of something. I know nothing about Tanzania. Every country has individuals who are really good at business. If you got like five very successful Tanzanian businesspeople and had a meeting between them and like 10 African Americans in Tanzania who were looking to start a business with like $20,000, what would the Tanzanian business people advise you to do? Let's say they said that $20,000 was not enough to start anything. What would be the minimum required? And what type of businesses would they suggest? Would such businesses be possible if done by African Americans? If not, why? What would be the barriers? Don't mind me. I'm just thinking out loud. 😀
I get what you saying,
But All the scammers, will soon gets what's coming to them, And it does get easier because after wards we learn from those ordeal , The scammers become Clearer Seen. And We learn ,How to Protect Ourself, from the Robbers ,
Good stuff! I needed this.
You have a beautiful mind. I'll email 📨 you today! Thank you for sharing your honest experience in Africa 🌍🎉🎉!
Thank you and I will take a look when I can🙏🏽💛
@@markmeetsafrica Just sent it. 😊
Stop worrying about what others say and focus on positive things only.
So, Mark, where are you now? I love your voice. You sound like the late Malcolm X.
Exactly what I said too in one of his videos - Malcolm X reincarnate. There's more to it than meets the eyes. #messiahsarehere
What reasons warrant people to say stay away from Oshay? I guess people don't want to hear the reality truth... Oshay is indeed a good jolly fellow and you can't beat that
Oshay is good people; don’t let people tell u crap.
Stay strong kijana
Mark meets Mark in Africa
Can we create systems there?
Yes, with time and effort
Great video mark.
Stay away from Miya,Mark careful
Can you elaborate on the negativity? In terms of specificity
Why dwell on negativity? How does it help you?

Happy new year
Right people have less and less compassion. It’s an “everywhere thing” but that shouldn’t make us lose hope in humanity.
New to your channel. #peace&favor🕊️
Thanks for coming🙏🏽💛🙌🏾
I felt very bad after watching the interview on (Kenganda) when you said that you don't like Tanzania anymore, I just don't know what happened at the border. You yourself were the first country that you loved and you lived for a long time until you were loved and accepted by its beautiful people. Today, only one person makes you hate them, it hurts me a lot too. when you go to do those interviews, everyone is happy when you talk about bad things about Tanzania, you can love the country very much but one day something will come to annoy you and that is common all over the world, it hurts me a lot that one or even 5 people should not make you hate the country because every time you go you will be asked why you left Tanzania, you will have to say its bad just a case of one more person from the region again from the border where you were sitting peacefully. plz go back to tanzania it is one of the very peaceful countries
You don't have to put on a strong appearance for anyone. Thank you for your videos.
Now, Get Some Rest!! 🥰👋🏽🥰
And land inflates rather fast in tz is nothing new. Even 3 years ago when u were fresh in the country the real estate in Dar I guarantee the plots or houses for sale there were also 10x the original price. Buying land is for sure a good investment not a bad thing
If you want to make it in Africa open your eyes and take your time to study the place before your next move
Hey Mr. Mark, are you back in Tanzania?
...Im with WHOEVER is given You Sound Advice, Okay..PLEASE, PAY- Attention more & More & MORE.!!! Love You Ah WhOLE- BUNCHES..💯 🙏🕊🙏💕 Shabbat Shalom 🔯 💓 ..please pray for the Peace of Jerusalem..🇮🇱 💌🙏🕊🙏😇
💛💛💛🙏🏽
I pray that all is well with you
thank you💛
come there with money. A lot of money to live comfortably in the country you choose.
Mark can we get more SOUND, the sound is a little low.
Sorry, I didn't want to wake up my neighbors next door
Reflection is good to change course for the better. I hated where I am but that reflection I did on myself for my masters dissertation helped me see the positive side and course. Since then I was able to choose a positive path for me to live my life..
I have been to Tanzania twice in 2021 and 2022 the experience was balance and I intend to return again soon but some of people I know there is telling me to send 4 thousand dollars to buy land and another couple thousand to start building house but you saying 500 for land🤔
Be careful Scamming is rife Also non Tanzanian cannot buy land Do Google search the info is there
If it’s highly corrupted.. buy a house, apartment or condo, not land..if you want to stay in peace and not feel bad about a place.. talking from experience.
@@111pp7 thanks for the advice
I would say don't send any money especially thousands of dollars. You need to be on the ground (meaning there) to see if the land is there, if it's available, who owns it, the owner's asking price, and know the process to have legitimate documents. It's not like in any of the United States' land purchases and deeds.
@@AccordingTo.YAH7 thank you for your input
But home sold us in the first place 💁🏾
Sadly the mentality that existed then still exist now and tribalism is still a factor in decision making at large in a lot of Africa. But with time and effort and a lot of education on all sides, we will overcome these challenges.
In reality we are not close family. We might have similar phenotypes but we have been separated 400 years. We are westernized more than them. They have develop a different culture from us. We don’t have grand parents, uncles and family. We just have the same phenotypes and that is not enough. They are the majority not us going to Africa.
Maybe people are warning you about Oshay for some of the same reasons you were warned about Austin Hollerman.
Is everything ok? What's some of the stuff that's normalized that isn't right
Lying cheating and stealing are expected in business and in many cases, seen as favorable traits and dishonesty is a very useful tool here. Those are some of the less terrible things.
Wow, "the less terrible"@@markmeetsafrica well, I'll keep watching and liking young man. You are built for this, you are called to do it, and you are truly making history.
Mark, watch that talk, about being stretched a bit!!!😊😊😊❤
There's no negative or positive when in survival mode, choice of life will always be positive..
Yes I rather hear and know the ugly truth, then beauty of it. For example I heard a lot of why NOT to join the United States military. But I heard good things… I joined and my time was great… after 4 years I ended working with the team from hell. But I know that wasn’t the military just some evil people. I got hurt etc. but I would still recommend it to people. Therefore keep with the facts and stories
Hey Mark. I have been watching your video for sometime and what I have noticed about you is that, you are a different person when not in Tanzania. In Tanzania you are more irritable, in other countries you seems to be more at peace. I like this side of you more.
I uses to be this way all the time if you look back at my old videos. You are right in that I am a bit more irritable in Tanzania. I gave that place my heart and it stepped on it.
It's cool Mark I'll cut these people some slack. I don't know Oshay personally but I'm familiar with his rhetoric. This may be a persona he uses. But it creates a response good or bad. Also some of the people who he venerates are bigoted xenophobes towards specifically African immigrants. So people who are calling him PanAfrican don't see the hypocrisy. But hey, as you say people deserve a chance and I begrudgingly agree with that sentiment.
