This is why we must help Maya get to all 55 countries in Africa. He is the most passionate intense person when it concerns Africa. Donate, Give. Let's help him finish his course. I will continue to support you Maya. May God be with you. Let's help him guys.
@Singina Nyathi Just Go to his lastest video. I think it was " The True Roots Of Kunta Kinteh" Then click show more and you will see all the ways you can donate. He even has Paypal. I will keep donating until he finishes his Journey. Tell others to Donate everytime you see a new video. What he is doing is beyond words.
The tour guide don't have to work for the government To be happy. This is the colonial way of reasoning that is why we are still in our present situation in Africa today. It looks he's good with his job and might not want to work with the government. If you had suggested sponsoring the man for a documentary that would have made more sense.
My bowels were moved as I was listening careful to this man skillfully and beautifully explaining things to us. He's a true master. I appreciate it. Thank you for your dedication Wode Maya. Shalom!
This video will one day reach one million views. Gambia have a very rich history and I put to every black European or black American to visit this small and beautiful country. Proud to call myself a Gambian 🇬🇲🇬🇲💪💯
omg ! I remember going there about 15 years ago - and also meeting Binta Kinteh the oldest surviving relative who was in her 80's at the time. Very touching and sad.
Wodemaya to be honest with you..you made good decision to bring this two young brilliant guys to help you in your Africatotheworld movement..i must say they doing well and giving us the best..we really appreciate them..it make the works easier..i wish you shld start from the beginning again with your crew.. the editing on pojnt the camera on point sound on point wodemaya super hero
We used to recite this beautiful poem about Africa in elementary school, here it goes : Africa my Africa Africa of proud warriors in ancestral savannahs Africa of whom my grandmother sings On the banks of the distant river I have never known you But your blood flows in my veins Your beautiful black blood that irrigates the fields The blood of your sweat The sweat of your work The work of your slavery Africa, tell me Africa Is this your back that is unbent This back that never breaks under the weight of humiliation, This back trembling with red scars And saying no to the whip under the midday sun But a grave voice answers me Impetuous child that tree, young and strong That tree over there Splendidly alone amidst white and faded flowers That is your Africa springing up anew Springing up patiently, obstinately Whose fruit bit by bit acquires The bitter taste of liberty. This poem was written by David Mandessi Diop who was born in Bordeaux to a Senegalese father and a Cameroonian mother. Reciting the poem in French is more beautiful!
I've never heard or read this poem before. It moved me to tears just 3 lines in. Who is the poet that wrote this beautiful piece? I'll be sure to remember it and teach it to my children, nieces and nephews.
Wow amazing history. The narrator is very good . Thank you so much, Wode Maaaaaaya. I'm really blessed to follow you. #Never again to slavery# Africa to the world
I'm African American, and used to live in Gambia. Juffere was one place I used to hang out from time to time. Kunta kinte family became my good friends. I was the one who brought the movie roots to the village for the people there to see.even though the movie was made there,they never seen the movie. Never ever forget kunta kinte.I hope lamin in juffere is watching this or reading this. If so please respond back. It's your old friend Kweku. I'm back in America. I was there a couple of weeks ago, forgive me for not stopping by. Allah u alim.
Great video maya. Thank you again and again for what you are doing !!! Signing in from the U.S. This is an especially heartfelt reminder cause as a child I saw the series " ROOTS" . But I didn't completely understand the significance when I was young . Now that I'm older ...... it is priority 1 to make it back to the motherland........ to home. AFRICA UNITE.........
Thank you Wode Maya another great and informative video. Don’t let anyone tell us to get over slavery because it happened a long time ago. Africans must unite.
DEEPLY SAD,AWESOME. TOO MUCH FOR WORDS. I AM PROCESSING. THANK YOU GAMBIAN BROTHER FOR THIS INCREDIBLE ,INCONCEIVABLY BONE CHILLING HISTORY. TRUTH CAN NOT HIDE. IT IS TIME FOR THE TRUTH TO BE REVEALED. GREAT, GREAT WORK WODE MAYA. KEEP UP, BE STEADFAST. WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE WHAT YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY CALLED TO DO, BRING "AFRICA TO THE WORLD" MUCH THANKS, LOVE AND LIGHT.
Does any 1 have the contact of the gambian brother? I am from Gambia and i will love to work with him to educate the youths about our culture and history!! So we will stop worshiping white people!! He is really talented 💕
I mean...where will we not go with this brother🙌🏻You are taking us places Wode Maya!!!God bless u for this ...ever since I subscribed to ur channel I have learnt so much about Africa more than I even learnt in school 🙌🏻I was all teary watching this video!!!Thank u so much Wodemaya🙏
whose responsibility..our leaders are there sleeping..even to recognize this young guy and support him...hmmm...Africa this is time we must all come together to support eachother..dont say wodemaya is not in your country so you wont support...lets take hatred from our heart and build africa again
I remember when Roots was released in Africa; many could not wait for the next episode. I think it was the first time a majority of Africans got a glimpse of the conditions of the Africans who were forced into slavery in America.
Get out of the Matrix Very true. I was also glued to the TV when roots was aired in the UK in the 1970’s. It was the first time I ever heard of slavery....
@@BIGMAMMA183 So many Africans, even today, do not know about slavery. Even the syllabus, which was designed by Colonialists, has very little to say about slavery. It's now due to YT that I get to watch movies on slavery.
@Black To Grace So true. There has to be a sensitisation of Africans, esp rural ones, as to what happened during slavery. Maybe that is why they are so welcoming of ytes.
@@getoutofthematrix3757 it's exactly that because our history is blind to us so we just grow up thinking that what our ancestors are telling us about whites is true. Here in malawi they assume all white people are nice to the point where they'll be screaming and shouting in a parade esque manner when white people are going to game reserves. Not knowing those are the same people poaching their animals🤦♂️
I just want to applaud you for the job u are doing by putting Africa on the World Map. You are even teaching us Africans our own History.Im 43 yrs now and didnt know much about Kunta Kinte....but i remember very well when i wz young and when we used to hv the black and white television ....i remember watching a movie about a guy called Kunta Kinte....around the 1980s. We cant thank you enough my brother.God Bless.
ONCE AGAIN, AMAZING VIDEO MAYA - KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ........ THANKS FOR KEEPING US INFORMED .... I am watching your channel all the way from #TORONTO #CANADA 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
What was Africa histoy before slavery,, Mr Wode i want you to interview somebody about it. and why did they make this negative history as the main history of Africa ??
@Akoben Renaissance you are right, because to me is just like letting us know one side of our history but what lead to the slavery of the Africans, we are not hearing anything about it
This is a POV that I have been ruminating on for a bit. Africa was filled with extraordinary people with astonishing lives and although slavery is a prominent part of our history, it's not all that we are. I intend to write a story that delves into the African way of life before colonization.
As the old African proverb says “Until the lion tells his side of the story, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.” We’ve only heard the side of the Europeans, they say we didn’t resist, that’s not true, the Kongo ruler Nzinga Mbemba resisted and fought against slavery, the queen of Ndongo (modern-day Angola) Nzinga Mbandi, resisted, in present day Senegal 🇸🇳 and Guinea , the kingdoms of Fouta Toro and Fouta Djalon resisted, the Queen of Walo (Sénégal) Ndate Yalla was a fierce warrior queen who resisted. Several major African kingdoms took measures to limit and suppress the slave trade, including the kingdoms of Benin and Dahomey. Agaja Trudo, the king of Dahomey (r. 1708-40), banned the slave trade and even went as far as attacking the European forts on the coast. Unfortunately, Agaja Trudo’s successor did not share his view and profited from engaging in the trade.
Thank u. That is how the amazon women were formed because many men was taken so the women had to join the army to fight .read aboud les femme amazon du Benin😇😇😇
I'm heading to the Gambian embassy on Tuesday to get a visa. The past couple of weeks the pull for the motherland has been so strong that it feels as if I'm suffocating. I need to go.
The only one Wode Maya in the world,like your thump up if you belive it who are learning this message may god bless your journey."Africa to the world is not a simple word but a mouvement."
Why some thumbs down on this video ? I wonder if those people are really human beings,..I believe they should be Portuguese the generation of the slave masters.. .Love you from Morocco, great job !!!
The first place on Earth that God set foot was AFRICA. He kissed and blessed her with beauty that makes all other continents pale in comparison! Truly Africa's beauty is beyond compare.
Healing is taking place. Ty so much Wide Maya. This is healing to the heart, body, mind and soul. You are a great servant. May he guide and build hedges over you, your family and those working with you. May his angels continue to lead you to help us to know the truth about what happened to our ancestors. It's time to him strength and continue the journey where they left off so that our future generation can embrace them and we can move forward. What a blessing it is to have you venture on such a journey. The world should join you and than God for you. Bless up my brother. Love you so much!
Rena Kalahiki yes they were, most of the salves that arrived in the 1500’s arrived in Brazil. Brazil has the largest Portuguese speaking population in the world. The largest African population outside of Africa is also Brazil. When you study the history of sugar, you will come to understand that sugar was one of the major catalyst and capital in the Transatlantic slave trade. Sugar was the cocaine during that time of history. Most of the people who owned those ships were “Jews” with Spanish last names.
@Leonice Williamson The 1st where always Africans on other Africans. Read about Ancient Egyptians, Ethiopians, Nigerians etc. There is more than enough blame to go around but that was the ancient world. The difference is the level of brutality, forced name change, forced working without compensation forever or until death, started with the Europeans not the Arabs. Blaming Arabs for what is clearly not an Arab practice is ridiculous, It has no historical precedent. Ex look up Africans living in Iraq, they have been there for over 400yrs. They know that they are Africans, most have not mixed, and they are not slaves, Most never where.
@Leonice Williamson Once again Arabs had indentured servitude also, you where not a slave for every study history ex Bilal ibn Rabat. Was a black slave and many others that where freed and where great people in history. Bilal became the governor of Syria, slavery among the Arab was different from the Europeans. Also Slav, is not an Arabic word. What muslim Army went to Morocco, Senegal, Nigeria or Mali? Also Spain Name it? Islam is not by force it’s by choice ex Malaysia and Bosnia
Wode Maya you are so brave, doing the extraordinary for mother Africa. And you have the best tour guide for this episode, he is amazing and knows his history well. Thank you Maya and team for the great work.
Wow Kunta Kinteh is amazing and very beautifully unique in Gambia. Powerful of what happened to the Portuguese slaves. I love African history stories.😊x
Very informative! Thank you Wode Maya for your contribution. I always look at your videos and Miss. Trudy's as well. Stay focus and continue the great job.

You nail it fam. Maya is really doing exceptional work for Africa at large blie

Kunta kinteh island is a palace were all African American have to visit .
Only African Americans?
African Americans are 88% indigenous to America
@Akoben Renaissance that's a bit racist if I may say so!!!
Please go away with this. All this evidence and you just act like it is not there.
Hannibal go ask your story to the white people
My brother! Such great diversity in content, love what you are doing 🌍
Me too from ethiopia
Am a Gambian base in Germany but I have learned a lot from this great man .thanks Aya Maya

I'm so glad you visited! I went there at 13 years old and would never forget! 🇬🇲💗💗 #Africatotheworld
Wow 😮 then yhu must enjoy your journey
Tears drop from my eyes anytime i watch the story of kunta kinteh.😢
We used to recite this beautiful poem about Africa in elementary school, here it goes : Africa my Africa
Africa of proud warriors in ancestral savannahs
Africa of whom my grandmother sings
On the banks of the distant river
I have never known you
But your blood flows in my veins
Your beautiful black blood that irrigates the fields
The blood of your sweat
The sweat of your work
The work of your slavery
Africa, tell me Africa
Is this your back that is unbent
This back that never breaks under the weight of humiliation, This back trembling with red scars
And saying no to the whip under the midday sun
But a grave voice answers me
Impetuous child that tree, young and strong
That tree over there
Splendidly alone amidst white and faded flowers
That is your Africa springing up anew
Springing up patiently, obstinately
Whose fruit bit by bit acquires
The bitter taste of liberty. This poem was written by David Mandessi Diop who was born in Bordeaux to a Senegalese father and a Cameroonian mother. Reciting the poem in French is more beautiful!
@Meg Beach ..I remember that poem from school ❤️
Meg Beach what is the name of this poem but for it French version plz!
Evelyne Mbabazi ...Africa My Africa by David Diop
I've never heard or read this poem before. It moved me to tears just 3 lines in. Who is the poet that wrote this beautiful piece? I'll be sure to remember it and teach it to my children, nieces and nephews.
You do not have to recite it in those slave master languages..It is a beautiful poem with deep meaning..I'm a poet...Thats a deep poem.
Well done wode Maya, you are doing a great job. Am a Gambian but this is the first time I see this kunta kanta Island 👍🙏
Kunta Kinte wow. ...Learnt a lot about him from the movie ROOTS. ....nice episode. ...Bos Gh Bos Gh
@Zenme Yangzi .... but slavery is real... roots was based on what happened
This man is really fluent and has a great personality. Thanks man
He speaks very fast.
Even though it pains me to hear what my ancestors have endured if they could see us now they would be so proud! ✊ #AfricanAmerican
Wow amazing history. The narrator is very good . Thank you so much, Wode Maaaaaaya. I'm really blessed to follow you. #Never again to slavery# Africa to the world
