I was given a prize at GIS by Kwame Nkrumah - happy days a long time ago
Good for you.
i go to school there
wow that must have been a wholesome experience ❤️
Were You Born In GoId Coast 🇬🇭?
Who else is here after the queen’s demise 🤔
The paramount chiefs' ornaments and jewelry are solid GH gold...
This video is remarkable because it shows Ghana in a wondrous way back in the 1960s.
It is as if 2022 had not yet arrived at all.
With the Jubilee this year it seems so real and fresh to see the Queen as she was back then.
The world has dramatically changed but Racism still persists after all those years in both Africa and Europe,
You'll never be rid of racism bro it's in every single country on the planet been around for 1000s of years.
Am white British and things like racism leaves me feeling very repulsed.
I loved the video showing such a wonderous and gracious people. I didn't think to some of the things said by the presenter as I don't feel they welcomed her as if she ruled over them at the time. Seems wrong for him to say that
@@jaycool5978 Thank you for your stance on Equal rights.
@@jamesbedukodjograham5508 can't be a Christian if your gonna practice racism, discrimination or taking liberties in someone's country etc. Must have unity in the body of Christ and He left his finally commandment which is to love 1 another
‘ the lovable people of Ghana ‘ 🥺it’s just such a wonderful thing to hear from a documentary made as long ago as the 60s at a time where America was segregated and racism as still in its prime worldwide . That’s what’s complex about the British monarchy under Elizabeth ,there were a lot of redeeming aspects of their impact despite there also being a lot of negative ones . But the respect they showed to country’s who at the time were looked down on by so many surely changed the world for the better
You can see the power of a great Kwame N. He fear nothing he is still the only leader the Sub sahara has ever had
61years ago and it seem like yesterday . Wow I love ❤ videos of this type
Great to review these historical events in light of HM Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee!
Just can't stop applauding the military Band.. Very wonderful for such a splendid performance by the Band in 1961
God bless Nkrumah ❤️🩹🕊
She was thinking about how to loot the mineral resources later , lol 😂
Not me searching all the countries that Queen Elizabeth had visited after watching the "The Crown". 😂
This is beautiful
As Dutch 'cheese-head' I lived in west Africa for abt 10 years, incl. Ghana, Cote Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinee. What a beautiful coastline, what a nice people and I enjoyed my time there. The recording of this visit of the queen is far befor my time (eightees/ninetees) though many of their traditions are unchanged and I hope that the native people may conserve their tribal history and traditions.
This was glorious
This is very beautiful to watch as a Ghanaian 😊
What are you talking...Welcoming and smiling to the people who has been colonizing you and your ancestors for almost 100yrs....that means you were really happy for the colonization....as kanye said it was a choice
Could anyone explain to me why there are stands at the airport, or did the plane land at the indepence square lol
It is very important to be a global person in an international world for the 2020s.
Great legend Dr Kwame Nkrumah God bless you. 😭
“As accommodation in Accra was limited, most of them brought only one wife”
😅
The Europeans saw Ga Dangme in action with the cannoes and turned it into a sport in Europe
And when they saw the Ashanti ritual of taking young men into the forest for survival training they created the Boys scouts. In fact Baden Powell founder of the boys scouts became dear friends with the Ashantehene and admired the cultural practices so much
@@Gracieinspired i've heard this too. Many reasons why we should value our cultures.
@@Gracieinspired tell me more about this
Para mí en la historia de la monarquía en Europa, la Reyna ISABEL de Inglaterra fue Única, por su sabiduría ,admiración y respeto.

Im here from watching the crown
So sad she's dead a hero of our time rip queen Lizzy
Did anyone notice the subtle mockery in the tone of the narrator of the Ghanaian people?
Very interesting for sure. Obviously colonialism and worse yet, slavery was deplorable. This video and the one of Q Elizabeth's tour of Sierra Leone are fascinating the ease and closeness she had with the people. Especially interacted with the children. I would be surprised is she is "racist" I think she respected the people. Of course that's not relevant to the inappropriateness of what transpires historically where UK was a ruler by force and extracted (stole...) riches of the continent. ❤️🌍
Stole and looted is the right word though.
But I agree, it's quite fascinating
It baffles me how a country's people would gather in honour of a queen that colonised them.
I'm shook😅
It was a long time ago although in fairness Ghanaians are very hospitable people.
This was barely a year after becoming a republic and a little over 4 years after achieving independence 🤷🤷
You know they could have continued to colonize us right ? We should just be grateful to Queen Elizabeth for granting us independence and stop the talks.😅
Another stupid comment!!
I bet she was salivating over all that gold lmao
Considering her wealth, she's probably tired of seeing too much gold.
The 1960s were another time.
I'm Canadian and I'm in Ghana
Hi
Your name sounds Ghanaian. You might have been born in Canada 🇨🇦 but if your hue is as mine and most of us here , then I am afraid you are an African first and foremost, and then a Ghanaian by blood and genetic relation, and then , Canadian by birth only , if at all .
For that , most of us , all have 2nd passports but we wouldn't dare call ourselves otherwise but Ghanaian by blood and and genetics which to all intents and purposes is what makes us unique.
Ampeh paaaa, Obaayaa you be Ghana woman wai....
interestellar reptil
The commentary sounding as stupid as I thought it would …tueh
I felt the same as well . Very racist way of commenting on such an important visit . It nearly is as if we weren't aware of ourselves .
@@titusglavee1443 you have some magic abilities of spotting racism when it’s not there you Africans
@@dylanmurphy9389 divide, conquer and deny... that's all YOU people have ever done.
@@titusglavee1443 You have inferiority complex..work on it
@@graceandpeace4414 my people were being conquered and divided so nice try, fragile
Independence brought us nothing.

We were too young to be a republic
Way too young🤷🤦
@@efiaahimah3713 I think the Chinese government policy of killing anyone who is corrupt should be in Ghanaian policy. In all we need iron hands. God bless and protect mother Ghana
Can you imagine if someone just came from the crowed ands slit how troat
Why would you think of this
You insane?
And why will anyone do that , you animal .
