Africa needs African Americans and the majority of the Diaspora to break free from the Westerners and achieve economic and intellectual power. Great conversation!
Kwabena is a systems engineer, first and foremost. He has critically taught himself and learned history without formally studying it, and DECOLONISED HIS MIND. African countries should focus on STEM so that they make things they want or consume. Unfortunately most African countries still teach using colonial curriculum, including European examination bodies like ACCA, Chartered Institutes of .... Secretaries, etc (just drain our foreign exchange). As parents we need to take charge of our children career choices✌🤗
We need more of these interviews/conversations in a bigger arena first on the continent of Afrika, then in US Central/South America, Caribbean, Europe, anywhere there are African descendants and indigenous people.
We do not know and appreciate what we've got in respect of the land and the environment. Kwabena nailed it when he said the guy who has been able to take care of his brother at the University does not know he has value; Its all about the mindset.
Brother Jay,,work together with him.Even to hold big speeches together all over Africa not only Ghana I feel like both of you together setting up an awareness of our heritage will be fabulous.
I am happy to hear Ghana 20% of gold will be going to central bank .. The battle is on........... Mzungu one day will disappear in our life together with his garden
Wow so many valid points from the both of you brothers, sitting down here watching the conversation with my family and friends. They've been misleading us for years and till today. Is about time to break the cycle. Slowly and surely I throughly believe will get there. Keep the conversation going and great job to you both. Great conversation indeed.🙏🙏 👌 🤎
@@komiczar it's not that people accept willingly but because they used force with weapons and the people back then did not know or have those types of 🔫. Why do you think they are developing and manufacturing weapons of mass destruction, just for the same purpose to continue to control people
@@hawasanneh1807 You are correct in part that: "developing and manufacturing weapons of mass destruction, just for the same purpose to continue to control people. However the control of people is rooted in the delivery and acceptance of the weapons of "Mass Instruction," that is designed to distract the mastery of one's own self, and one's own independent thinking processes. Manipulation can be either accepted or rejected. It is dependent on one's dedication to discernment which focuses upon seeking truths both internal and external to the self. Blaming the colonizer/tyrant/oppressor/bully, is a reaction to the harm, which encourages further harm. Blaming does not properly identify the problem itself, at its core, so that it can be solved. It is not solution based because it does not consider the ways that the victim should respond, to effect viable solutions.
I was brought up to be very proud of my African culture and heritage. I was giving 5 African names by my parents when I was born. These names allow me to know what home my parents came from, their heritages, and how far their heritages spread. So, if my parents migrate to another African countries or Western countries. I will be able to find my parents' family heritage homes individually (father and mother) Even if everyone in my heritages are all dead.
Enlightened, wise, intelligent, self-respecting, dignified, courageous, leadership, reflective, prosperous, purposeful, divine knowledge, and an informed worldview are just a few of my observations from this discussion. The gems given were invaluable to all who watched and listened intently. Jay, thank you for this post, and to Mr. Darko, thank you for sharing your thoughts for the world to hear (or not). 👏👏👏👏👏👏ONE LOVE
Great interview. I hear it all the time that we have assimilated well in the European culture that we DNT even know how to think like Africans. For those of us who still believe we are still African despite how long we been in the U.S.. and we still forget that the continent was colonized and have been pumped with euro education as well. We should teach our history, culture, language on our schools . Period
I don't know when my fellow Kenyans will wake up from sleep.... But there is hope some of us we are............ What u said of kenya is true.... Most are still enslaved in the mind.. But we awake we try to wake them up...
Great conservationists and discussions and what a teachable moment, what we need is the deconstruction of our mindsets that ee are capable achieving anything and doing it even greater.
Good clean educated conversation. Better than people shouting, and talking over each other, and leave the listeners confused, good conversation keep it up.
Talk, talk, talk, talk - insightful though it is - you are preaching to the choir! We who have tuned in are in admiration and agreement. The ones who need to know are the leaders of Africa and the African people, at large.
These videos are for YOU and I to share with our misinformed. The message is being refined everytime he shares it. Did u notice they discussed the government is a SCAPEGOAT? It is the people who need change then they will change their leadership and step into a better life.. the only thing stopping we Africans is us.
@@kwamenyame1277 DON'T MISS THE MOST IMPORTANT IDEA. It's NOT about the "leaders" it's about the people. WHEN the masses are ready they will make the change they want and THEY will choose the leader. In Ghana the conventional peoples party was a mass movement that brought change. NKRUMAH had thousands of people with him that fought for change.
The government of Nigeria has decided to re-introduce history into the school curriculum. The history hopefully will be pre-colonial, colonial and postcolonial. My maternal great-grandparents were also captured, sold into slavery and arrived at a popular destination called Bonny Island, which was the slavery port- hub before Africans were transported to the Americas and Europe. Jaja was an Igbo man who was captured and sold into slavery in Bonny Island. He rose within the ranks, became influential and a chief, but due to internal rivalry in the Kingdom of Bonny, Jaja left Bonny Island with some chiefs and founded Opobo Town where he was made a King. King Jaja was later tried in Gold coast, now Ghana and imprisoned in St Vincent. He was to be released but died enroute to Africa. My maternal great-grandparents arrived Opobo with Jaja.
Kwabena is a brilliant man. I like his take on Africans doing things for themselves without relying on the government or politicians. Too many people in Africa sit on their hands thinking the West is the solution. Meanwhile there’re many opportunities all around them. They want jobs with shirt and tie and look down on farming, recycling or moving trash, deliveries, services, or proper small scale mining.
Ok Jay, you got a new subscriber. I see a lot of these black American in Afrika channels but they are usually bourgeoisie shallow pan afrikan (if that) but you seem to really get it. Salute.
Hey Jay. Glad this type of interview took place. There's nothing like having an insight into what happened to us etc.. Actually, this is why we are still dealing with a lot today. This history is important to teach learn and grow.
This is a brilliant discussion. Br Darko is full of knowledge; he has certainly done his homework very well. You brought up a good point about the "Africans selling Africans into slavery narrative". I don't believe this lie and I telly why. Europe still owns most of the natural resources in Africa. Britain, in partiular own a majority of the gold mines and other mines. No African country own their own currency. Clearly, no African had the power to run their economy during the slave trade and during colonisation, which answers the question whether Africans sold their own into slavery. The answer, i my educated opinion would be No!! Another reason to refute this argument is when you understand that all the major African Kingdoms were destroyed by the Europeans and have absolutely no power today. To make matters worse, the educational systems do not even incorporate the very important history about these kingdoms into their curriculums. It is important that those who are seekers of truth sharpen their critical thinking and allow the spirit of the Most High within them to guide them.
You are spot-on in many regards. I also speak the fact that at some point the enslavers even enslaved those that were trading their captured Africans, basically cutting out the middle man.
This man is God sent with all he have said, it's so true. History is key for anyone future, If you don't know your history, you won't know who you are. We are the foundation people not European teaching. I love this solid Truth. Kubeana you are who you are. God is speaking through you.
This is something wow 😮so now when our family on the African continent learn the truth of what we the diaspora family in America has done; they would see that all the inventions in America,was invented by us who were brought to America via slavery. We are a great people even in our captivity 💕💕💕
We got to meet one day bro!!! I’m getting enemies instead of waking them up!! I heard someone say colonization is as bad as slavery and the effects are evident. Good job Jay.
Thank you very much Appreciate your platform Good topic to discuss to bring awareness to bridge the gap between us all independent is fake not real All African systems are still under the colonial system An African need visa to travel to most African countries but most Europeans do not not need visa to travel to most African countries African countries are not allowed to trade with each other but can only trade to mainly their colonial countries or others countries outside of Africa continent Even African Union (AU) is not control by Africa It like saying Africa in charge of European Union (EU)
I had a Nigerian friend that always tells me that her parents were from the country side and poor. She then told me that her parents were farmers and kept working on their farms all their lives. She thinks people in big cities are rich. I told her that her parents were not poor at all and leaving in the country side did nothing make her parents poor. I told her that her parents had farms so they were rich. This friend and all her siblings moved to big city and never moved back to the country. They left their parents' farms to die off or some distance families have taken over their farms. She told me that she is afraid of juju so, she would never go back to the village.
Dear, Good conversation; but, think about changing Africans' mindsets in terms of: Damages of "colonialism", religion "inherentances", exploitation and "opportunities" all wrapped up in the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) of the World Bank and IMF. Even to sell in Accra streets a poor Ghanaian needs someone to give him / her a loan or an opportunity.
Thank You Brother for your comment about the Ashanti Kingdom and the narrative pertaining to their participation in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. That's my perspective on The Dahomey as well. The missing piece is the Arab/Muslim participation in the Trans-Saharan trade and how all three slave trades are interconnected. I don't understand the silence around this aspect of African history. Nevertheless, before enslavement, Africans had flourishing, well-ordered societies and were thought of as the greatest traders - they were not naive the way history has made it appear....so like the brother said, where is the wealth?
I think when you start looking at the "Arabs" and the transsaharan trade, you will be looking at the Maures, almohads, almoravids, somalis, people like Tippu Tip the black arab sultanate, as well as the Mossi who used to castrate the slaves prior to their arrival in North Africa and other places. The problem with the wealth is that they traded lives for things such as cheap gin, and trinkets. It's well documented.
@@mizzobjectiveone3819 Well documented? By who? Make it make sense. Why would master traders, weavers, carvers, black smith's, gold smith's, artists, etc., trade their own people for some beads, mirrors, .....? Not buying it. And, yes, there were African Arabs like Tippu Tip (who identified as Arab) that were involved in the Trans-Saharan and East African trade, but they were not the norm, nor the progenitors of the trade. And moreover I'm talking about Arab Muslims that came from the area now known as the Middle East, some of which settled in North Africa.
This discussion answers for me the question I had since 2018 when I saw an African woman, resplendent in her attire from head to toe, pushing a pram in a crowded Greyhound station with 2 blonde, blue-eyed dolls on either side of her baby. Since it was in the area of a major university my belief at the time was that it was a class study on people’s reaction to such a sight. They certainly got some reactions to ponder over if that were the case.
Sisi ndio tuliochaguliwa.... We are indeed the chosen.... That is why we are hated. Afrika is blessed with people and resources. It is just that we are still in the process of reorganising and reorientating ourselves to rediscover our lost soul and spirit. It has been bitter and painful but it won't last. YHWH's promises will happen.
History is important and is key. We lost it by adopting European boundaries and education. The white people dovided the countries into small pieces. Why didn’t we abolish the boundaries after independence? Why do we complain about what happened in Berlin yet we do nothing about it🙈 kwame nkrumah adviced the African union but they didn’t listen. Instead they split into Casablanca grouo 🤷🏽♀️ know our history!!
Great Civilizations adapt, overcome and endure. Europe has been through 100x the physical and psychic trauma than "Africa", but she rises again and again, as has China, India, and other great civilizations. Everyone experiences suffering, war and famine. It's how you overcome that is most revealing of a nation's character. You see a lot of "African Exceptionalism" in History? Nah, always the nail, never the hammer ;)
Hi Jay , a quick question.. As American and my first time coming to Ghana do I need a malaria or yellow fever vaccination or vaccination card to enter Ghana, is it kind of mandatory?? Pls help .
Based on what I gather here , Africa is the best place for a blackman ,because the irony is , Africa has nothing ,but they all come to Africa to get their riches.
The practice of blaming the colonizer for training is not sound responsible thinking. "It is irresponsible for the oppressed to expect the oppressor to educate the oppressed." ~ Friere It makes no difference what one views, reads, or hears, if one will not, does not, or cannot think. Question everything including your own thinking until the answers make the reasonably logical sense, to arrive at the answers. It also helps to question the validity of the question itself.
"how to get the information to the people...": The right people have to connect first; then strategize and plan; and finally, disseminate. Those who will work at this should know that the fruits will start sprouting in a 100 years. The preparation of such a plan could take a year. Then the strategizing could take up to five years. Finally the implementation should be stages, but all in all it will take at least 200 years...
"Impoverished by Western" standards.....Ok, go move there with your family and tell us how "charming" it really is. It's easy to see how "great" the Shanty Town is when you get to leave and go back to the ebil Western-style hotel any time you want ;) "Do as I say, not as I do."
Geez, "They" are always picking on "Us", which is why "We" can never achieve anything, ever, but "We Wuz". The Victim Complex is real. LOL! There is a 0% chance you can go 5 mins. in this interview where "they" aren't simply blaming others. Great Peoples don't make excuses. They make History.
Jay and Abeng were having a very interesting conversation, but why did Jay insist on saying us brown people, a description I thought was reserved for Asian people, doe's he finds the word black distasteful? I noticed it is quite common for Americans to be afraid of the word black. The people we call white are so proud of the word.
Brown is a more accurate “color” description. Additionally, the term “black” is yet another term given by “white” people to identify people who have brown skin. Some people prefer being called black which is fine. I’m just adding a little depth and alternative accuracy to the convo. I personally have no issue with the term black as long as it’s not a negative.
Yes most of us Africans are chocolate brown in complexion. There are black people but there are also brown people. The word black has been overused and over stretched or has been abused if you like.
@@abk6877 my concern is that black has taken on an unmerited negative connotation, instead of a positive connotation, even among those heavily endowed with melanin. Black must be rehabilitated ie crystal black people are the most compatible to sunlight, black soil is the richest and "black gold" (oil) is what drives the world's economy.
They're black African people ( the ones that look like black Americans) We have the ones in the sahel for example Mauritania, niger republic.... In west Africa that are up north are not black They look more like they're mixed with something Their skin complexion is different, their hair texture, long and curly and not nappy So that's why black Americans should really understand Africa
@@k-dwanks2481 I agree with you for the most part but many AA’s are a mixture of those Sahelian Africans like Fulani and darker skinned West African ethnic groups. I am a Black American primarily descended from both Fulani and Yoruba from what is now Nigeria.
Africans' own name for themselves (i.e. "Africans") is an entirely European, indeed Imperial Roman term :) You're welcome.....again :) Imagine Europeans referring to themselves by "African" terminology. LOL!
Africa needs African Americans and the majority of the Diaspora to break free from the Westerners and achieve economic and intellectual power. Great conversation!
We need get rid of these politicians first
We need each other. Africans have the cultural reconnects we need and they could benefit from our numerous skill sets.
Kwabena Obeng Darko is a treasure to the people. People should listen closely to what he says.

The question that needs to be asked is: why one accepts being mislead, by obvious con artists.
@@komiczar it's not that people accept willingly but because they used force with weapons and the people back then did not know or have those types of 🔫. Why do you think they are developing and manufacturing weapons of mass destruction, just for the same purpose to continue to control people

Good topic to discuss to bring awareness to bridge the gap between us all
independent is fake not real
All African systems are still under the colonial system
An African need visa to travel to most African countries but most Europeans do not not need visa to travel to most African countries
African countries are not allowed to trade with each other but can only trade to mainly their colonial countries or others countries outside of Africa continent
Even African Union (AU) is not control by Africa
It like saying Africa in charge of European Union (EU)
I had a Nigerian friend that always tells me that her parents were from the country side and poor. She then told me that her parents were farmers and kept working on their farms all their lives. She thinks people in big cities are rich. I told her that her parents were not poor at all and leaving in the country side did nothing make her parents poor. I told her that her parents had farms so they were rich. This friend and all her siblings moved to big city and never moved back to the country. They left their parents' farms to die off or some distance families have taken over their farms. She told me that she is afraid of juju so, she would never go back to the village.

Dear,
Good conversation; but, think about changing Africans' mindsets in terms of:
Damages of "colonialism", religion "inherentances", exploitation and "opportunities" all wrapped up in the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) of the World Bank and IMF.
Even to sell in Accra streets a poor Ghanaian needs someone to give him / her a loan or an opportunity.

History is important and is key. We lost it by adopting European boundaries and education. The white people dovided the countries into small pieces. Why didn’t we abolish the boundaries after independence? Why do we complain about what happened in Berlin yet we do nothing about it🙈 kwame nkrumah adviced the African union but they didn’t listen. Instead they split into Casablanca grouo 🤷🏽♀️ know our history!!
Great Civilizations adapt, overcome and endure. Europe has been through 100x the physical and psychic trauma than "Africa", but she rises again and again, as has China, India, and other great civilizations. Everyone experiences suffering, war and famine. It's how you overcome that is most revealing of a nation's character. You see a lot of "African Exceptionalism" in History? Nah, always the nail, never the hammer ;)

The practice of blaming the colonizer for training is not sound responsible thinking.
"It is irresponsible for the oppressed to expect the oppressor to educate the oppressed." ~ Friere
It makes no difference what one views, reads, or hears, if one will not, does not, or cannot think.
Question everything including your own thinking until the answers make the reasonably logical sense, to arrive at the answers. It also helps to question the validity of the question itself.
"how to get the information to the people...": The right people have to connect first; then strategize and plan; and finally, disseminate. Those who will work at this should know that the fruits will start sprouting in a 100 years. The preparation of such a plan could take a year. Then the strategizing could take up to five years. Finally the implementation should be stages, but all in all it will take at least 200 years...
Partitioning Of Africa....Colonialization...!!
He’s fucking right

"Impoverished by Western" standards.....Ok, go move there with your family and tell us how "charming" it really is. It's easy to see how "great" the Shanty Town is when you get to leave and go back to the ebil Western-style hotel any time you want ;) "Do as I say, not as I do."
Geez, "They" are always picking on "Us", which is why "We" can never achieve anything, ever, but "We Wuz". The Victim Complex is real. LOL! There is a 0% chance you can go 5 mins. in this interview where "they" aren't simply blaming others. Great Peoples don't make excuses. They make History.

Jay and Abeng were having a very interesting conversation, but why did Jay insist on saying us brown people, a description I thought was reserved for Asian people, doe's he finds the word black distasteful? I noticed it is quite common for Americans to be afraid of the word black. The people we call white are so proud of the word.
Brown is a more accurate “color” description. Additionally, the term “black” is yet another term given by “white” people to identify people who have brown skin. Some people prefer being called black which is fine. I’m just adding a little depth and alternative accuracy to the convo. I personally have no issue with the term black as long as it’s not a negative.
Are we now brown people instead of black people? Asking for my niece, Ebony.
Yes most of us Africans are chocolate brown in complexion. There are black people but there are also brown people. The word black has been overused and over stretched or has been abused if you like.
@@abk6877 my concern is that black has taken on an unmerited negative connotation, instead of a positive connotation, even among those heavily endowed with melanin. Black must be rehabilitated ie crystal black people are the most compatible to sunlight, black soil is the richest and "black gold" (oil) is what drives the world's economy.
They're black African people ( the ones that look like black Americans)
We have the ones in the sahel for example Mauritania, niger republic....
In west Africa that are up north are not black
They look more like they're mixed with something
Their skin complexion is different, their hair texture, long and curly and not nappy
So that's why black Americans should really understand Africa
Tell your niece the color black is used is to describe a person race or decent because black people comes in all colors.

I agree with you for the most part but many AA’s are a mixture of those Sahelian Africans like Fulani and darker skinned West African ethnic groups. I am a Black American primarily descended from both Fulani and Yoruba from what is now Nigeria.
Fun Fact: the greatest "enemy" of "Black People" are fellow Black People. Past and Present. Prove me wrong.
That’s not true. You have been lied to, that your fellow black man is your enemy. Educate yourself.
Africans' own name for themselves (i.e. "Africans") is an entirely European, indeed Imperial Roman term :) You're welcome.....again :) Imagine Europeans referring to themselves by "African" terminology. LOL!
