Sitting here my whole body is frozen, numb and shocked. Having arousal of sympathetic nervous system.If these trees and river could talk, we won’t even begin to comprehend the agony they went through. Wode Maya do your thing and thanks to the smart, intelligent sharp looking young historian guy.
Zee true i fell it. this painful to watch makes mad that somebody make you to something against your will.
I know that my Ancestor's are from Ghana. I have to go see with my own eyes and walk on barefoot on this soil😥.
Oh Lord! Please save the souls of our ancestors...
@@shumba_the_don 😭😭🤣🤣🤣😩😩😩
@LEILA NABZ XCATLY ‼😭😭😭 There's a major DISCONNECT between Africans that never left the continents and those that found themselves outside of the motherland!
That's The Major Issue That Have Lead To The Divide‼😭
If you know what WODE MAYA is doing for Africa countries is a great job than press the like button
I totally agree
WUMBEI PRECIOUS please watch 8 videos of Jim Nduruchi
We hear so much about the Jews and their treatment by the nazis but Africans have been treated worse for much much longer and nobody talks about it.
The biblical Jews were the people the Africans sold into slavery. Do some digging on that topic to find real truth.
@Pxer some of them were shepardic Jews too you need to do research and deep one too ,
@Pxer yes I'm not going to denied that I'm welll aware of that also but some had Spanish names too when I read that I was shocked , remember it's easy for them to change their names so you need to look deep
@Pxer This is not a time to fight, but to Unit. The whole world Hates Our skin Color but the Land of AFRICA IS OUR HOME LAND, We Love You AFRICA 🌍!!!!
@@YRHTALKS there are many Hebrew Israelite tribes currently right now in Africa, the Bantu tribes in Cameroon and the yuroba tribes in Nigeria, and much more. I am from cameroon, from a tribe called mbem, we speak the language of yamba. my grandmother always told us that when she was a child she witness our people be taken away from us by force and even some of our family members. there are anti-slave trenches and caves in my village and all over other countries in the Continent that our people went to hide in when the europeans/invaders came. black people from the black continent of africa were taken by force. every thing that I have just told you was not written in a history book. Everything that I have just told you was passed down from eyewitness accounts from generation after generation. from my great-great-grandmothers to my great-great-grandfathers to my grandmother. Africa is not the name of that continent, Africa is the name of a Roman general. there are a huge amount if not almost all African Americans and some black people that live in South American countries and all over the world have a hatred towards the black continent of Africa. they say that they are all Hebrew Israelites from the tribe of Judah, to try to separate and divide themselves from the black Continent of Africa. but they don't know that both descendants of Shem and Ham which were brothers were taken. they don't know that both descendants of Shem and ham which mixed were taken away by the Europeans. They don't know that those people that were taken by force by the Europeans/invaders left their children behind in the black continent of Africa. no babies were taken, no grandfathers or grandmothers were taken. the black continent of Africa is not just a continent inhabited by one tribe of black people. the black continent is inhabited by both Shemites and Hamites and they are brothers and sisters in the Lord. they don't hate each but love one another as brothers and sisters in the Lord. the tribe of Judah which are from the descendants of Shem, which are the true Hebrews. There are many Hebrew isrealite tribes today in the black continent of Africa. The African Americans and black people in South America and all over the world that label us all black people that live in the continent as Hamites, then label themselves as Shemites, saying that they are all Israelites from the tribe of Judah. Those same black people don't know if they are really from the tribe of Judah, because both descendants of Ham and Descendants of Shem which were brothers, the sons of Noah, were taken and they intermarried, they mixed.
there is a saying that Israelites from the tribe of Judah came to the continent and multiplied throughout the continent together with the descendants of ham which were already there in West, Central, South, and East Africa. they did not have hatred towards one another, they lived together as brothers and sisters in the Lord God Yeshua. We black people that live in the black continent of Africa love you African Americans and black people all over the world. whom were taken away from us by force. do not believe what everybody in the world is going around saying that we black people in the continent sold our people to the Europeans/invaders. 92 percent of the black people that were taken from the black continent of Africa were taken by force. those our other ancestoral African tribal leathers that handed their people over to the Europeans, they could have been bribed, they could have been forced or deceived to handing their people over to the Europeans. when those our ancestoral leaders saw that their people were being lynched, when they saw that the white people were killing our people, when they saw that the white people treated us like animals and segregated against us: they Stopped. when those small amounts of African tribal leaders realized the horrible decisions that they had made. then they stopped, when they stopped, the Europeans started taking the black people by force in those small tribes too. we black people in the black continent of Africa failed to defend our people, we failed from defending the continent in terms of resources and much more. from the Europeans/invaders. African Countries today are in modern slavery. controlled by European countries such as France. Europeans Countries like France make sure to keep these countries poor. by controlling their GDP and currency and much more. not only were our people are taken away from us by force, we ourselves where made slaves in our own land. The black Continent of Africa is still suffering from the effects of Slavery and Colonialism. We Black people in the Black Continent of Africa love You Black people in America and black people in South America and all over the world. We Black people in the black continent Consider you all as our brothers and sisters, Some of you might be Descendants of Ham or Shem or mixed between both. we consider all of you as our brothers and sisters in the lord God Yeshua. as there are many Hebrew Israelite tribes today still in the black continent of africa. I believe that we black people need to love one another and treat one another as brothers and sisters in the Lord God. We Black people in the black continent of Africa welcome you African Americans and black people all over the world to come and visit the black continent of africa. you will be truley welcome. you will see the beauty of the black continent. you will be welcome by the chiefs, the kings, and the elders of the many thousands of different tribes and Countries. African countries like Ghana and much more are welcoming black Americans and black people all over the world to come and visite to reconnect with their roots and ancestors. Here is a video of an African American Man whom went back to Cameroon which is between western and central part of the continent. to reconnects with his roots and his ancestors. he went back to a region and tribe known as tikar ngambe. which is the place where his ancestors were taken from by force. he was welcome and the chief of the region gave him a new traditional name.ua-cam.com/video/6ox96WukAMw/v-deo.html. His UA-cam channel name is Nkoundji II. you may go through all his videos and watch all the videos that he made when he went to cameroon tikar ngambe. you will see real life anti-slave trenches and much more. I believe that black people hear in the united states and all over the world need to reconnect with their roots and find where their ancestors lived in the continent before they were taken away by force by the europeans/invaders. ua-cam.com/channels/xARjpzHLbi4oXW9oidchcA.html. Forgive me if i offend you. Forgive me for my grammar, I am typing fast. I thank anyone whom was able to read through this comment to the end may God Bless You.
Thank you Wode Maya. I am in America and this has touched my soul. Our Ancestors were strong and resilient. If it were not so, we would not be here. We are their Glory!!! I want to return to Africa one day to put my bare feet in the soil of my Ancestors.
@@YRHTALKS stop telling people what they are maybe that's you
Well said, it's because they were brave and fought hard that we are here..we must unite to reach our full potential
All black people in America must return to their Native Land Soon.America is under Divine Judgment.For what was done to The Original People.Blacks.
We not to return until the land is cleanesed and our savior lead us back.
Many of us will come back. My great great grandmother was a slave. Maybe she experienced this. The Tears will never stop. Thank you Wode Maya
L Crom 😢
me too
If you believe wode maya its really trying let's gada here... ❤️
I really like this guy,I'm proud to be a Ghanaian and an African
I made this pilgrimage, to this and many other sites in Ghana, this past summer. I strongly suggest EVERYONE of African decent do the same. My outlook has FOREVER changed. We have no time to party and be frivolous...there is work to be done. Our ancestors sacrificed way too much.
This video SO important for black Americans to see. I will send this to my whole family. Black Americans only know one side of slavery so this will help them have a more complete understanding.
Maurice湯 茂 林 please watch 8 videos of Jim Nduruchi
I am also taught AA History and am knowledgeable about slave narratives. But this presentation hits home in a more up front and personal way. This hurts way more because we are right there in this video and not separated by miles. 🤔🤭😯
If you think Africans were tricked to go on slave boats 20 million people during the slave trade I got prime real estate to sell you. Africans were complicit it was supply and demand. I am not upset with Africans they didn't see themselves as Africans they were independent ethnostates. Each ethnic group had their own nation. Ashanti kingdom in contemporary Ghana were prolific slave traders. Did the Portuguese trick them it is a treaty they signed with the Portuguese in the 17th century. Other akan ethnic groups made am alliance with the British to fight against the Ashanti were they tricked too? This video isn't informative he is just creating a narrative I could easily debunk it. There is writing by Europians they weren't able to travel in the hinterlands of Africa the tropical weather plus insects they would die within weeks in the interior of Africa. According to research most Europian slave traders could live only on the coast of Africa for 2 years before they would succumb to death. Europians weren't able to inoculate themselves with vaccines until the 20th century to travel into the hinterlands of continental Africa. Why didn't he mention Portuguese and Danish slave traders marrying african women along the coast to solidify the partnership also create s buffer group to maintain the trade in their absense.
@@charleswatkins8695 Sorry mate, Europeans do not control the narrative anymore. As Africans, we will write our own history. You are free to stick to the one written by the Europeans though. Peace!
Sitting in my car 🚗 watching this on a Monday while my sun Muhammad Bah is at swim 🏊♂️ practice crying 😢 alone. Im African American and this hurts so badly!!! Trying to keep my emotions under control but it overtaken me.
Yeah I know right?
You got an African name girl stop lying LOL
Same with me. Cudnt stop the tears
This hurt my heart. Just hearing of the brutality my ancestors experienced and endured. And they got the nerve to tell us to forget. We are still living the legacy of slavery. Never, never will I ever forgive or forget. No people on this earth has ever experienced this demonic treatment. Hell for them all.
@Brenda Williams I am with you. I will never forget or forgive them or this. I will stand before G’d on the day of judgement ask for them to be punished in hell forever. Hell for those all Africans, whites, hispanics and Arabs that took part in this travesty.
@Brenda Williams I do feel and shear your pain, but let's not forget the words of great Nelson Mandela "that it is in forgiving that we heal ourselves fast" let's continue to spread love.
@@now_or_never709 really he only said that because he was in bed with white people so what you aspect even when he went to jail he wasnt the same
@@now_or_never709 even white people dont even forgive there past enemies but black people have smh wake the fuck up every race dont like our black ass in the first place, they only let us do the stuff we want because we as black people was crying like big babies instead going for revenage and taking by stuff that belong to us by force

Dreadlock Rasta! Yeess love this song💕💕💕💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯
Dark times in history 😖 my ancestors went through so much 😭😭😭thanks maya for documenting this ! #africaunite
I live in Virginia where the africans who made it over here went to be auctioned off is now a slave trail where you can walk the path they took and also in Williamsburg Virginia you can tour the plantations that owned them. I did my dna ancestry and found out iam from Cameroon 🇨🇲 I cant wait to go home! But we here still standing 💪!!!!
ur right ur acestors are strong ppl stronger than the whites nd thats y they never wanted us to breath uptil today but the babelon is now falling we are all going home to mama africa at last the motherland
You Deserved an African Passport . No more Visa for you my friend. If there's no African Passport,
than Africa should create one for you !! Over & Out. Stay Blessed.
Africans we one, we endured the same pain and we have come a long way, let us unite love from South Africa. Thank you Wode Maya for the work you're doing brother. Much respect also goes to the man who is explaining everything in this video
@@YRHTALKS While in South Africa the were not transported , they were made slaves right in the land. Read about the abolishnist Charles Somerset. Nothing but horror. Slavery continued in South Africa under profound secrecy after 1834. The Boers exiled themselves from the Gorvenment of the Cape moved to the interior chiefly because they were obliged to emancipate their slaves. Encroachment of Boers to native land. Free slaves were again re-arrested for vagrancy for free labor. Lots of slaves were also sailed to S. A. from Mozambique sold by The Portuguese. Yes, There was slavery in South Africa.
@@zebmakotoko3778
Thanks for the history.
I did not know this.
WE HAVE THAT PLANT IN JAMAICA, WHEN I WAS SMALL , USED TO TOUCH IT ,IT GOES TO SLEEP, IT TOOK AWHILE TO OPEN BACK , OUR ANCESTORS WERE VERY SMART.

We got that plant in abundance in Saint Lucia to
Sleeping bush
They knew what was in their Garden of Eden. 🤗
Carl Mar as soon as I saw it I recognized it. We have a lot in Haiti 🇭🇹 as well.
Wow!!! That plant 🌱 I played with it as a child in Jamaica 🇯🇲... I did not know how significant the plant was
We have it in Haiti too. Thank you Maya for what you do. Respect!!!
This plant is all over Jamaica we play with it all the time as a child 😇👌 tears is pouring from my eyes right now thank you a lot and now I will have more respect for it as a plant we love in Jamaica bless up
Queen role wow I played with it in Jamaica 🇯🇲 as a child
@@telltraceyyoursecret4529 we were naturally drawn to it by our ancestor I guess lol we raced to touch it 😁 connection
Queen role oh yes sister because we love to play with them...
Wow my grand parents told me also about that mimosa plant. Same story. And am from congo.
rebecca kumuamba they are all over Jamaica 🇯🇲
WOW this is DEEP my brother!!!
I am terrified to even try to imagine what my ancestors went through before being packed on a ship as cargo only to land in a country that treated them so horrifying that they wished they had drowned in the river during their last bath - How do you forgive this when your ancestors blood is screaming for retribution.
You don't just get over this and move on - There has to be recompense for something this horrific - Yet I will be seen as the monster for saying so.
honestly the world need to apologize to africans for the horror of the slave trade melted to our ancestors, I feel the pain deep down in my soul.
I love the way this man explain things to us.
This is so emotional and heartbroken. This is the history they hide from us and generation next. History as a subject in most country in African school do not teach this. They still learn European and American history. It is said, if you don't know where you are from you will never know where you're going to. This is why it is important to know, tell and write our history.
Thank you Maya for the wonderful job you are doing. Money cannot quantify what you have achieved for yourself and Africa in general. Thank you once again and may our ancestors guide you.
Martins OCheje As an African American high school English teacher I have taught AA literature through history. But what we are learning here is even too deep to teach in high school. My students might be so angry that they would want to go out and hurt someone. 😱 no I think parents should share this at home.
@@jewel3567 we learn similar like this in the Caribbean and I remember some of friends were very angry , but they did not harm any one, but I understand what you are saying
@@YRHTALKS Yes most of us know , but there are others that are still in denial, I hope sooner or later they catch on , thank you for that
I connect with the tour guy on what he said that "if this land that you are standing on can speak, if these trees here can speak, and even if this river can tell us the things that have happened here, I am not sure we could even have the ears to listen to them". I believe some people have the power to perceive the info from elements of nature around them.
Imagine people walking from Mali to the coast of Ghana we talking about over 1000 miles. Heart breaking, sorry
Rohaanii Daalii it’s so sad
@@nwinyinwinyi2467 We have to make sure this never happens to our people again. In unity we will win in every way and in everything we set our minds to.
African on African trading 😥😥😥😥😥😥 all in the name of greed(or hate)., years later without power, we still act on black on black hate/racism smh...all in all we are here to learn and never allow history to repeat itself.....preach togetherness among ourselves and our children instead of wondering why other races are united .. let's rise mentally together Africa(ans)...One Africa ✌ peace...Thanks Wode 💕💕💕💕
We have a moral obligation to tell our children the truth. Children hold the key to global African liberation.
This is the shameful part that we keep hiding, although this disgusting behaviour was a direct result of demands from the white slavers. Nevertheless the trade could not have existed without black people selling themselves out, and we continue to sell out ourselves to this very day.
"If I ain't have the strength and wisdom of a warrior, I would have to give up"

this was playing in my head when I watched this...Thank you brother
In Jamaica Mimosa is called "Shame Me Darling" it makes sense to use it as a tracking aid. The Maroons used it. Once touched it roughly takes 15- 25mins to re-open. It's also good for asthma boil it and drink. I Will Return, Thanks for the video Wode Maya.
Peace Family! Thanks for the information ✌🏿❤🌍✊🏿
Thanks for sharing that about Mimosa plant.
One love💚♥️🖤
thanks
I’m am shocked and tearful that Ghana has this monument to our ancestors the young guy is amazing in telling their Journey. Thank you again Wode Maya for again enlightening us all. I’m speechless.
Thank you, my brother for this great snippet of history! I am a African American born in the U.S.. Through the years I have done my research and have befriended many native African brothers who have embraced me. My last wish is to not only moved back to Mama Africa, but to become one with the Continent. And ultimately return to the dust of the ground where I will be one with my ancestors.
I wish to bring back our way of life and forget Religion
@rec flyn... That's where the healing begins.... I applaud you !!!
Hi WODE MAYA My Name is Lia and I live in ODESSA TX I first stubbled on to your channel a few weeks ago and I was hooked let me just say you are amazing and I love this because you have truly opened my eyes to the truth about AFRICA !!!! And the pain along with it. Tonight I realized that we are still in slaved only in a different way I'm African American and just the other day when I saw one of your videos I realized that Europeans had such ahold on us from child on up to adults they made sure that by showing only parts of Africa bad parts that we would be to scared to go there some images still haunt me to this day and I'm 52 years old. But you know what I learned that yes there curtain places that are different and there are crimes every where. I also realize that the reason why the Europeans showed us the negative stuff was if you truly new our heritage and knew who we are and what we are and the thing that we are capable of doing and we went back home!!!!!! O my GOD they would truly lose there mind. THANK WODE MAYA FOR OPENING MY MIND AND MY HEART AND MY EYE'S, here lately I have been trying to figure out where to go I want leave THE USA because of the prejudice here and all the bad stuff going on expecially with or brothers and sisters be killed for drinking tea while walking home. It's gotten so hard to deal with, the one thing I wish I had the money to travel to Africa and see and visit but I just don't have the money right now but that's is one thing I wish for. Anyway sorry for the long note my heart is heavy. Once again THANK YOU OUR AFRICAN KING FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL GIFT YOU HAVE GIVEN US.💋❤️😍💖💋❤️😍💖😘😘
this made me cry my soul felt it my ancestors pass this place/then I got angry so mad my ancestors suffered I’m pisssssssss offff how can we forget my people
I feel that i'm in the classroom and the professor is teaching,this guy is the real deal,couldn't get enough of this,Love this video
Yed
Go Ghana! lead Africa to the real truth of our history and reshaping our future! Lots of love and appreciation from Kenya!! Couldn't stop crying watching and hearing this
I think many people who have not properly studied the slave trade have a tendency to overstate how involved Africans were in a misguided attempt to shift the blame of the slave trade on Africans. The capture and enslavement of our people not only devastated those that captured and made slaves but also those of us left behind. Please come home. If I could I would fetch all of you I swear to the Most High. Come sing the songs once more, come taste Mothers food once more. We are one people, never forget. Unite ✊🏾
Woda Maya the last bath 😔. Is this the last one. I will be there to visit in future. It is emotional 😭 for me always because I have not been home to Mama Africa. I love you brother Maya for sharing Mama ❤️🖤 💚 Africa . So her children to come home. Each time I watch your videos.. I stream to my TV so my family to watch. Since I was a small girl I knew something was not correct growing up. My family never talk about Africa. That is typical in some African American families not talk about Africa either they did not know and just ignorant to learn anything else. Well see you in the future.
Sometimes I feel like giving up on my Journy across Africa but comments like this keeps me moving!
You have no idea what this comment of yours means to me!
Thank You So Much Sis!
Hope to see u soon in Africa.
Africa is waiting for you with open arms. Study and work and save much to come and live in the mother land for the best life you will ever live in your life. Africa is bae. Take a trip and your life will never be the same. America is a dump .
@@WODEMAYA please do not give up. It's imperative that you continue to keep teaching us about home until we all come home. Like our sister Afrikan Superstar your voice is important that what the Gods have told you to do on your journey. I love you Woda Maya!
very educative...im really hearing some of the things for the first time....
thumbs up, bro
Yea mi to ..i Kno in Jamaica they call the plant shame mi darling but never knew d story behind it
"For us there's no last for us, we always come back as the first" powerful statement brewed in an African pot✊🏿🇬🇭
Don't stop doing a good job please bro,. I know you are kind of discouraged doing videos don't stop it we will support you definitely
It's ain't easy
You are a hero for Africa.
On name God I seriously don't take my freedom for granted 😓 my forefathers went through dead ass hell to make me enjoy the Free Africa am living now😭.the slave river story is very sad i felt the pain of a broken bottle scratching as well as the bamboo stick damn 😰😰..our history is very painful 😡,.....thanks Wode for this💕
I am in tears knowing the trauma, torture, and pain that my ancestors have endured for me to be alive. My ancestors were full of might and strength. Thanks Wode Maya!
Hmmmm.......
So painful, so sad and so emotional. The long road of slaves during a tedious journey through the desert, the Savannah, the thick forest, crossing the Pra River to Asemanso for the last bath and then to Elmina and Cape Coast Castle and finally the door of no return.
This was the painful fate and plight of our beloved ancestors.
The facts and the evidence are clear they were treated as chattel.
May God forgive our sins and erase this stain on the conscience of mankind.
The same door of a no return is in Porto Seguro, Agbodrafo in Togo, in Ouidah Benin and in Senegal the Island called Goree
History repeats itself. That is why the Humanity as a whole and especially the Afro descendants must work hard so that this shame shall not be repeated again
Well said 💕
And now hundreds of years later...I cannot bare the heat. I prefer cooler weather. Inside in the air all day every day. 🤷🏽♀️
*As an African American, Black American, an American Descendant of Slaves by way of Kings & Queens, we carried these stories with us in our daily lives. We have to come together, Africans on the continent and those in the diaspora*
I don't really know this place even exit in Ghana
Now u know my boss
U must be a Jesus fan that's why
Hey Wode Maya! Great information throughout this vid although so sad! I was born in St. Vincent 🇻🇨 in the Caribbean and we have the Mimosa plant there but we call it the Sensitive plant. Thank you for all you do! ❤ from UK
Heartbreaking, Emotional... We need to make our ANCESTORS PROUD of US, they fight for us💚🖤❤
This is deep
What I have been taught in school (sic) is a lie
Thank you Koffi and Maya.
Wow this video has so little views compared to the other ones. That is very telling....people only want to see the come up but not the struggle. I could visibly see you were shaken by this visit....I feel you because I was in tears. Thank you Wode Maya and Khofi for sharing this history with the world! This was SO deep I could barely contain my emotions.
Thank you Maya, we are from Kingston Jamaica too.
As we watch this, we say " our Biblical Enemy in the past was a very, very wicked bunch" , though we see his crimes still being perpetrated all over the globe against people that do not look like him ..... millions died in India, Millions died in The Congo, millions died in the bush of central, south, north, and islands of the americas, and entire people wiped off the map in Australia, ...the list goes on, millions died in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen combined....I mean the list goes on ...look at who was behind the genocide in Rwanda, Nigeria during the 60s in Biafra .....i can go on and on...The Lord has his HANDS FULL..
Quote: “Everything about us Africans is the first “ well said 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Those kind of flowers can be found alot in Guyana. We call them sleep and wake flower. This episode touched me deep. I'm coming home, I'm coming home. Tell the world, I 'm coming home.
This ... by far is the most emotional video I’ve watched of all you’ve posted
...I truly appreciate your work,
thank you for this historical journey WODE MAYA.
#AfricaToTheWorld.
Great job, I've learned a lot from your visits in Mother Africa. i had a dream of climbing a high mountain in Africa, once I reached the top; stood up and clothed with white, woven big dress, with gold in a pattern, and head wrapping. On my side, Elder men and the right were women all sitting on the ground. One Elderly African man said, not verbally but mind commnicating that I had reach my designation and other things would be revealed to me! Almighty God who created all, guide and direct my path to Africa - Ghana? Thank you Father God. UNITY OF THE PEOPLE! 9/30/2019.
Wow, what a revelation mama.
May your beautiful vision come to life.
This video deserve more than 33 thousand views. This is history that most of us African Diaspora need to know about. Shout out to Maya from a Haitian living in Florida for bringing this to my home.
You deserve AU passport
Tears all over
I agree
I wept also. I don't know why the man rush him tho
AU passport No. 1 go to him.
Yes my sister but some of our African countries maltreat him since they do not want to learn by knowing who and what he is doing for our continent, may God help him and bless him.
Wow!! I am speechless and shocked. As Africans, our forefathers when through a lot. The African stories/histories are so hard to comprehend. But, I am proud that we still have a brother like this that is educating us about our history. Thanks to you my dear bro for this unique education, and kudos to Wodemaya for bringing African to the World. Wow!!!!
I feel so bad for the young ladies who had their menstruation during that journée. Can u imagine not bathing for months and months while bleeding? Oh god 😢.
Just of the thought of it........
Book:
Dreams of Africa in Alabama by Sylvaine Diouf
All of the countries in Africa that actively participated and monetized from the slave trade of its "PEOPLE" should open the door without restriction or cost to its lost children globally. Wode Maya thank you for this content your a one in a million African man.
So emotional and very painful to watch but at the same times happy to gaining the knowledge 😢😀. And I use to played with this plant in Haiti didn't know any meaning of it, even as an adult when ever I visited I would play with if I see it. May Yah bless both of you....this is the best school ever.!!! Thank you Wode Maya.
Woda maya is absolutely doing an excellent job that the diaspora don't notice he really deserve something special. Love you brother so much.
Wode Maya I’m literally in school right now with you. I never knew this so please don’t stop because through your travels I’m learning so much thank you 🙏🏾
All the "first to comment" squad, you have achieved something great, add it to your CV
lol
WOW...that happened to me when I went to Eligushi Beach in Nigeria...my husband told me ...who is Nigerian..Wow..the water recognizes you💯
Wode Maya, you are doing a great job. Keep educating us, Africans. Our ancestors auffered in the hands of the whitemen and later died for us and we are living for them. We must know these history and wake up from white men mental and religious slavery. God bless us all.
Mimosa Plant/Destiny Plant is called 'Shame-mah Macka' in Jamaica.
Thank you Mr. Ghana Baby..this is an important video for us African Americans. As difficult as it was to watch..it is important for us all to see it. Awesome that you again and God Bless.
Le's be clear and get facts the type of slavery practised by on the continent was not chatel slavery, wher a person was degraded to that lower than an animal. Let's not think that slavery was uniquely African .
Wode, I'm a Ghanaian and I didn't know this much! May their souls heal from those untold hardships
Medasi pa for taking us on this meaningful rite of return. We heal from the truth of knowing that we have come from a strong and mighty people.
I don't know how you controlled it. I would have been in tears from beginning to the end.
I hate slavery,this was no good for people to go through this..
MAHIMA AHMED not this kind of slavery which was different from African slavery which was much more humane. 🤷🏽♀️
This is very emotional I’m sure words can’t express how one may feel walking through there. I will walk through there one day carrying the spirit of my ancestors. Asé
Yes, we were never the last, we are the cornerstone the builders rejected. I can only imagine how far my Bamileke ancestor from Cameroon had to walk to a coastline and placed on a ship.
We thank God we are living in this era, or period of time things changed, our ancestors really suffered .🤦🤦🤦
They really suffered and these kind of stories breaks my heart
My dear brother you are doing great work, may Almighty God bless you.
Those of us in the diaspora need to honor our ancestors by returning to our motherland. We don't have to stay, but I believe that it will please them to know their descendents survived and that we have not forgotten them.
Black love black. Black stop fighting black. One love . Africans Unite
My Ancestors, My People, My History, Without You ,There would be no me. Thank you MOST HIGH YAH FOREVER, Thank you Wode Maya, my Brother.
Hmm. So so so sad! Our forefathers and mothers really suffered for us. May their souls continue to rest in perfect peace. Thanks so much, Woda Maya, for always educating us. We must never forget our history. We are still telling our own story. #Africa To The Woooooooorld#
am nigerian wode maya thank you for sharing this information. am in tears we have go through hell.
I'm learning a lot since I start to see wode Maya videos thank you brother with all my respect.
Thanks WodeMaya for finding this man to share this deep story of our ancestors enslavement. It is truly horrific. I know my ancestors were slaves we checked my great great grandparents marriage certicates. It took us all the way back to the plantations they were slaves at in Alabama and Mississippi. One of the plantation buildings is still there. I think I should go there after watching this vid. I feel blessed and sorrowful at the same time. God has led you to be beacon in a sea of confusion. Thank you for showing us what we would probably never would if we can't travel. The narrative can't be fun all the time. Thanks for being brave and strong for all of us so that we are more connected through knowledge. :)
We have that same plant in Tobago 🇹🇹
I literally teared up watching this😔Thank u Wode maya...I felt like I was in class today...so much knowledge 🙏
I COULD FEEL THE SEVERITY BUT I COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND. FOR ME TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH/IN MY COUNTY (u.s.a.) IN THIS PRESENT DAY I REALIZE THE MAGNITUDE OF THE VERY GROUND THAT YOU ALL WERE BLESSED TO EMBARK UPON. THANK YOU MY BROTHERS ❤️✊🏿❤️🙏🏿
I'm from America, and I have never heard of this place. Great content MAYA. Thanks!
This is my hometown.Come and experience what our ancestors went through. Its just three hours drive from Accra
These are the videos that I like coming to Maya's channel every day for.
Eeeiiiii, eeeiiiii, I am in mourning oo what our ancestors went through, we should all be grateful to be here today and fight for a better future as the suffering is not over yet.😭😢
Mr Maya I love your show it is informative creative it is showing me my roots where I'm really from Jamaican Ghanaian to the world big up yourself mr. Maya God bless
Wode maya thank you brother. Many of us who are the children of the kidnapped people have a need to retrace our steps to fully understand what our ancestors went through. You have given us an opportunity to see and undrestand what we physically under went and our ancestors will be pleased that you have played a part in bringing their children back home.
Finally the truth is out about our history. It is as horrible as I imagined it would be. Thank you Kobe. You should think of compiling a DVD for purchase by Africans all over the world, so we can teach our children about their heritage so they can be proud or at least understand why we are hated so in the world. And to be grateful that we have come this far by faith and survived. Hallelujah. XOXO

Wode Maya, I don't have words to express my gratitude towards your amazing knowledge giving to us through this great brother but I will do my best to tell people to subscribe to your channel. Love from a black sister from Costa Rica living in Canada. Love you and pray for your success, you deserved it
@ 3:20: 70% of the captives were [sic] prisoners of war..." This is the 2nd West African former Slave port guide interviewed by Wode Maya that has reiterated this truth. Factually speaking, almost all Africans that were *traded* into slavery, were by other Africans.
Why is this important? For a thousand years before Europeans arrived in Africa, slaves were commonly sold and taken by caravans north across the Sahara. In *some* African cultures, slavery was an accepted domestic practice, *but it was slavery of a different kind.* In Africa, the slave usually had rights, protection under law, and social mobility. So, there are different forms of "Slavery". Slavery in the Americas in general, and in the United States in particular was the most barbaric slavery ever witnessed by mankind. Think about it. The reality is slavery existed in lands all around the world, and in fact Africans did indeed trade other Africans into the Atlantic slave trade. But it is logical to assume that those Africans that did this, had no idea of the totality, rape and brutality of the type of Slavery that would become those captives they were trading.
If we say that Europeans/Westerners were solely responsible for Slavery, that is not true (as this Brother points out). The problem is in how the term Slavery itself has been manipulated. Academically speaking, there are (at least) 5 forms of Slavery:
*Domestic Servitude*
*Child Slavery*
*Sex Slavery*
*Bonded Labor or Debt Labor*
*Forced Labor*
Unlike most other Countries, who at least engaged in a method for a Slave to buy their way out, Slavery in the Americas was effectively all of the above. American bondage (North America, Central America, and South America) Describes all types of coerced work that an individual must provide against his or her will by force, fraud, coercion, torture, or threat of harm or death to the worker or their family. Contemporary forced laborers are treated as property to be exploited commercially.
See, the trap is when we say Europeans/Westerners enslaved our ancestors, the response is: "well, it was other Africans who traded them to the slavers and thus all parties are to blame" This is true if we use the word "Slavery" in it's generic meaning. However, I suggest taking a minute and describing the depth of the insanity that was Slavery in the Americas when speaking to the "Slave trade".
Our ancestors deserve better than just one word that can't even depict what their agony was about. Stop using the watered down term "Slavery" when speaking to the Atlantic slave trade. Memorize the following. Say the descriptor sentence in it's totality:
*"Unlike any "Slavery" in the history of mankind, Africans (or my ancestors) were traded to the Americas and into a uniquely gruesome life of providing labor against their will by force, fraud, coercion, torture, or threat of harm or death to them or their family with no possibility of release until the demise of their natural life - compounded by the indiscriminate break-up of families, and the psychopathic fetishistic sexual disorder common in most European men that resulted in the savage raping of African Women."*
Look them in the eye, say it to their faces. But it's exponentially more important that we remember it for what it was.
@Sterlin Jordan 👊🏾 exactly!
@Nefertiti Nefertiti Well said 🙌🏾
It was called SERFDOM, if it is in Africa it is slavery, if it is Europe it was called serfdom. It is how foreigners controlled the narrative.
@Nefertiti Nefertiti Perhaps you didn't read the entire statement? I am an American, but please come visit me in Morocco, I am always willing to learn and would be happy for you to show me where I will be shocked. There are many bad environments in every corner of the world.
@@teoviels8484 I will take your suggestions under advisement. My teachers of the history were Akosua Perbi and Irene Odotei of the University of Ghana, as well as Kwame Arhin of the Institute of African Affairs. Perhaps they should revisit their understanding based on your suggestions.
Had me in tears! But this is why I love us as a people strength never dies. Ancenstral genes flow strong - with the tour guide looking like Bounty Killer!!!
In Jamaica that plant is called Shy Girl i was told by a Jamaican when I visited there when we look at that plant it closed up when we leave from the plant it opened up very much like a human being having emotions .Amazing.
This was so interesting and heart felt. I appreciate the movement beyond words. You also always ask the right questions. Aiyaaa Mayaaaaa 🖤
Brought me to tears . Thank you wode maya
I thank you Maya and Tour Guide, many thanks from Tucson, Arizona USA
