Bro, let’s rubbish that fact that some white people came and discovered some places in our African continent. How were they first to discover it when our ancestors already live there? Even though the place might be unoccupied due to their small population at the time, our ancestors did know and owned the so called discovered places. It’s time for us to challenge some of the history(lies) we’re told!!!
Yeah that's a bit of a problem in the African educational system, which is still quite colonial even today.
Obviously there were Africans living on the Island already, as they were in Cape Verde and other nearby islands. Just like there were Africans living all around River Niger, Lake "Victoria", Mount Kilimanjaro and so on.. but the textbooks will tell you Mongo Park discovered this, Cecil Rhodes discovered that. That was because nothing was *discovered* until known to a European. That was the mentality. Not just in Africa - see, apparently Christopher Columbus "discovered" America (which is a clearly moronic claim)
There needs to be an overhaul of the *language* in the education system for sure.
Unbelievable man
If Africans discovered land in Europe, would Europeans allow Africans to maintain it???? HeLL NOOO!!! it's best Africans develop systems that will benefit us...just as the Europeans do. Just as the Asians do. Just as the Arabs do. Just as the Latinos/Hispanics do.....
If we need to reclaim it....reclaim it!!!
Agree with you all.
@@aissatamuhammad2581 remembered the 10,000yrs old bones "The Cheddar Man/Black Man" they found in Europe.
The girl hosting wode maya has limited if not no knowledge of senegalese history but you can't blame her, the educational system is.As a senegalese i was taught my own history briefly at a primary school level .After primary school,the history courses are mainly western civilization, the great wars, the french revolution, so on and on...everything but our own history. It will take time and great awakening in order to uproot the tree of colonization from african soil.
Dr. Cheihk Ants Diop talked about the mis education of native Africans about their own history in Barbarism or Civilization.
@@jpat989 indeed
So true, and also as the saying goes we in the West know more about African history than our brothers and sisters in Africa. And also most still thinks whites are to be worship also very sad but true.
@@shinebrightlikeadiamond6411 sad reality indeed.
"The Home Team!" is a UA-cam channel that's basically about African History (His-story!) All over the continent and most of it countries, traditions, and tribes🌍 it's a very good channel.
Wasting my Life in the USA.
West Africa I am coming home one way. And not empty handed. America's brain drain is Africa's brain gain.
The i sland is so beautiful. The Portuguese did alot of evil to our fellow Africans. So sad.
We'll be here to welcome you home!
Come. Welcome. Can't wait too. Back to our roots. Mama Africa. Mama Africa. Beauty everywhere. From coast to coast.And from Cape to Cairo. From Madagascar Island and to Cape Verde Island.
Why do yall like coming to the United States of america yall think it's easy I'm married to and african man from several africa it's very hard for him to get his papers

@@oumyseck3091 marry me I'm in the states,🇺🇸
@@oumyseck3091 😂
Everything about this place screams heaven to me and the sister is breath taking beautiful.
I definitely would like to visit this place.
And at school, teachers don’t teach OUR HISTORY but the history of WHITE PEOPLE😢🇸🇳
It's a shame
Really I don't know why
Because of African's President's are stupid more then anyone in this world trust me them very bad
Same across the world.....
From Kanaka Maoli Hawaii
To Goree. 🤦🏾♂️
@SUM1DOIDE † why are you getting upset , afterall Christopher Columbus claimed he discovered America🤣🤣
Wode Maya, Africa's living legend and Saint.
May your generation celebrate you in life and may your works and generations unborn celebrate your legacy.
Thank you so much for changing our narrative and empowering Africans.
May the footprints 👣 you're leaving on the internet educate everyone who thinks Africa is just an uninhabitable jungle and emancipate the souls of Africans who are lost to mental slavery.
God bless you, bro!
Yes yes yes👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful Senegalese baby girl... love you from Somalia....
*This is my country Sénégal🇸🇳🇸🇳🇸🇳 thank you for the video. One love and peace mama Africa*
Portugeses Didnt discover Gorèe but They conquer it.. Before Portugeses, there were already some senegalese Who lived there... After the portuges, there are dutchs, englands and frenchs People Who used it for trades and slavery
They Invaded They Did The Same Thing In Cape Verde Too
God blessed Senegal an its people..God blessed Marster Abram he save my life..one love to all of Africa's. From Jamaica..
WODE MAYA: YOU'RE DOING A SUPER JOB EXPLORING AND SHOWING AFRICA TO THE WORLD.KEEP UP THE WONDERFUL JOB THAT YOU ARE DOING.
STOP giving these pale skin people too much damn credit, they didn't discover that island, you telling me no African ever been to that island there, just they keep telling people that they discovered Turtle Island/America, please stop it already...
We will ban you.

@@michaelheery7427 stating FACTS is considered HATE now, don't bring that bullshit here, cause it won't be accepted here ok
@@gsheverything_2716 we will tell your Boy friend.
The Portuguese did NOT discover that place..there were definitely original inhabitants.
The first Europeans that came there weren’t the Portuguese but the Dutch. Haha you have a point.
@@strawberryshortcake5772 no... Africans were there first
@Ulysse H sigh you're out here listening to Europeans tell you your story without using common sense..how long do you think it took for people to realise Christopher Columbus didn't discover America?
Ulysse H have you even read my comment I said Europeans not who came there first. Pay attention lol
Ernie Brown I didn’t say who discovered first I talked about the first Europeans who came there. Pay attention lol
Was correcting what she was saying in the video
Portuguese perpetrated slavery in Africa for centuries. Today it is still a poor country if not for EU it would have been poorer than most African countries. The law of karma.
😁😁😂👍
Hen Top Many Portuguese are migrating to their former colonies in Africa eg Angola and begging for jobs, citizenship. ..Karma is really biting them. Haha...next will be the British, French etc.
Americas Karma is uploading
And Spanish they were the slave traders ....
Well if No one else will say it I will god damned, Maa shaa Allah beautiful smart sister from Senegal, thank you for showing us and teaching us your home country and Island.
You have a unique perspective and mindset, keep up the great work that you are doing. Africa to the world!
Hi Wode Maya. My name is Lomuro. I am from South Sudan and living in Australia. You are better than any journalist on the continent and beyond with nothing to offer to enlighten the sleeping sheep. "AFRICA TO THE WORLD" is fresh and you tell it like it is. Believe me. Aya Maya. 257k subscriber and counting.
Pls, your narrator cannot say that the Portuguese discovered Goree when there were original inhabitants living in that place before they invaded.
You don't "discover" and name a place already occupied by some living humans😡
Tayo made the same impression when he said some invaders discovered Gurara waterfalls in Nigeria. I don't get it.
Africans, rewrite your history oooooo, pls!!!
It's heartbreaking to hear that. Pls, Wode Maya take note.
Well said!
In with you on that one
That’s most likely part of her school’s curriculum!
@ Mosunmola Adeojo : That’s why Africans need to use their own language when it comes to narrative of our story. How often do you see Indians , Chinese and Germans using someone else language apart from theirs in a global stage ? It’s only Africans felling proud using someone else language. I’m not saying we shouldn’t be linguistic, we need languages to do business in the motherland (Africa) but , we have to have a unified religion, education, development etc etc as sub Sahara Africans.
@@mosunmolaadeojo9061 you are the one who needs to take another listen. 2:48
Correction Mt. Ghana Baby: No white man "discovered" any place, where natives/indigenous people already habited. Let's correct that language in our colonial education/mindset
You are great job Mr Maya. I got to know lots about Africa after watching your videos
I am from India
Went to Goree, and weather is cool like the West indies. And many Senegalese men in there have dreadlocks like in Jamaica. Nice , beautiful and noiseless Island.
Everyone wants to be Caribbean lol
Piman Mann Jaques
So dreadlocks started with Jamaican?
90% of hairstyles in Africa can be traced at least 1500 years back. how many Africans had braids, dreadlocks, twists... in those slaves ships? C’mon mi youth loool
@@listenup2882 the Caribbean wouldn’t be the Caribbean without the Africans that were placed there
Thank you so much Mr. Maya for showing the world positive side of Africa.
I remember reading about the slave trade on Goree Island when I was in school in Barbados.
She doesn't know what she's talking about goree is a Senegalese word it means "dignity" because the slave rather die than being a slave so some of them use to kill themself if they had the opportunity because their dignity wouldn't allow them to be controlled by the white man .
plus goree were discover by this ethnic group call THIEDO before they were any religion in Senegal.
THIEDO people is close to lébou ethnic they are all Senegalese and pure black
Thank you sr! i am very impressed by your clairvoyance i belive in your version than what i was allways told. firstble, in english, one would say: (red God) and not (God red). Gore is a wolof word which is our national laanguage meaning= to have dignty / to be of dignity. as matter of fact, the seconde island on the other side of the city is called (ngor) which means dignity. We need to learn how to think out of the box because they've been falsfying the truth.
@@diafarsouare3424
Exactly its sad that we don't know our history it's a shame.
Thank you for the correction. I didn't know, but my blood was boiling just listening to it.
May Allah bless the island and its inhabitants. In Holland we learn at school that the island is named after Goree, a former island in the south of Holland.They say the Dutch colonized the island in 1617. They bought it from a Lebu chief.
When was they ever a time when they had no religion?
I`m born in Brazil and I am a descent of slave trade!! Very sad cuz I love my people so much, and they separated us from our motherland !! Africa I love you mama!!!
Mama Africa awaits You
We love you to come and visit.
Our history did not start with slavery, don't get caught in this metally limiting preception.
Thank you❤🖤💚
Woda maya one thing I observed is you promoting both Africa an it beautiful women's which I really love but your this Senegalese guide will be my guide anytime I visit Senegal lol.
Thank god for Senegal, one of the most peaceful countries in Africa. And thank god for Senegalese women.
The first settlers of this Island are my mother’s tribe, the Lebou tribe, they’re traditionally Fisher men and live anywhere there is water, like Dakar, Goree Island, the North in Saint Louis, etc...
They Settle In Cape Verde Too Them And Serer...
One love bro, Thank you so much for your exposure of the BEST SIDE OF AFRICA that we never get to see. I am in love with AFRICA the mother land,
I'm so happy to go to Senegal from Canada in two weeks !!! Your videos are very helpful
A sad, sad history buy stunningly beautiful. Reminded me of Capri. I shall visit when I'm in the area and take my water colours. Big tick for bringing this to us.
Thanks for sharing with the beauty of Africa
Thank you so much wode maya you the best man I'm so proud of you one love Africa ✌🏽❤❤🇸🇳
One Africa
My Senegal, I miss you.
Slave Trading Portuguese owe serious Reparations to the Mother Land.
The island is absolutely beautiful, so many beautiful colors and also love the lady with you, her accent is very cute.
Hello. Ow thank you so much
Oumy Seck it’s Diarra you did good sister but saying the Portuguese discovered Gorèe is confusing
Good to see you say hi to everyone
Excellent Ghana baby for your episode
I always thought Ghana or Nigeria were my main options, but Senegal... Wow! The beach has always kept me here in my state, but Senegal... 😊🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful motherland Beautiful Mama Africa!!!!
Thank you Wode Maya....Because of you that I can see the beauty of African's countries from thousands miles away!!!!!!
No Europeans. Discovered any land or things in Afrika!!
That sister is beautiful and intelligent. Thats a historic and blessed island
Gorée was Senegalese before Portuguese get there and the name Gorée is a wolof word
Papisco G you’re definitely right Goree is a Senegalese world I think if we translate it into English it becomes “dignity”(it’s the closest definition I can get) but before we named it Goree the island had another name I forgot it.
@@katylayediop8295 so true and its sad that our people can't tell that story
Thank you Gor Ngor goree dignity
I seriously doubt that the Portuguese were the first to discover the island
@Lumani LuLu exactly. They want people to believe that Africans were incapable of doing anything. Absolute fallacy.
@Lumani LuLu you're right I am Senegalese, Goree island is the natural area of the Lebou tribe who are fishermen..
Ulysse H Actually it’s falsified Western dogma enforced in the Prussian school system to enforce colonization which only deals with European history and accounts from the 16th century. Europeans were not even alive for as long as Africans so there is no way they could discover an island in Africa that was already there with the natives of the land.
You can google some of my dialect since it’s quite obvious your brain cannot compute or comprehend basic English and facts.
Have a mercy
on the girl. You need to have good education to know what u guys are talking about. Vive l'Afrique 🤘
@Lumani LuLu she needs to use her brain and stop spreading colonial propaganda.
Great video but you can't tell me that for the thousands of years Africans who have lived and fished in that region never went to that Island? Stop giving Europen credit for everything. colonial mentality. BTW, why aren't you guys using the original name for the Island? if you can't pronounce it you don't belong there.
Lmao 🤣 🤣🤣 🤣, I really like the last sentence 👍🏾👏🏾
@Donna King So true.
Fitawrari Fitness yes it was settled, by my mother’s tribe, the Lebou tribe, in fact they fought several wars with the Portuguese about this Island.
Ulysse H that’s not true, it was first settled by the Lebou tribe.
Wow wow wow.Beautiful article done by a beautiful vlogger and an even more hot tour guide.Africa is the place to be.
On my wedding day, my grand-mother told us the story of my mother’s tribe, the Lebou, the original inhabitants of this Island , the Lebou fought several wars with the Portuguese and other Europeans who used this Island for transporting enslaved Africans .
Waouw i m Lebou. Very proud to read your comment
Waouw i m Lebou and very proud to read your comment.
Thank you🌍 for your (His-story)
Yeh They Migrated To Cape Verde Too Them And Serer...
I really need to get out of my bed and go to places. So many beautiful places. Aiya maya
Pick me if u got money to spare please,we go together
Samature 😂😂😂we will😂😂😂 subscribe to my channel so I take you 😂
The sister talking with Wode Maya was beautiful and the whole of Senegal is just breathtaking and beautiful..... now my only complaint is that since goree Island was named by our colonizers then why keep the name if we want to be totally free from oppression we must give up these European names that was given to us by the ones who enslaved us, tortured us and sold us and also many people do not know this but Senegal along with many African nations has to pay taxes to France because of slavery ending and they have to make money off of Africans by any means
so if we call ourselves free Africans then we must break ties with these evil Europeans 100% and not halfway.🤔
Thank you🌍 I know that right!
Wow this island is gorgeous that why I am in love with Senegal ❤💋
Thanks Wode Maya for this incredible information. One love😍
The quality of the videos has really improved, it was a great idea bringing in a team. This Senegal trips seem the most educative for me. I am learning a lot. Keep up the good work.
Third greetings from Germany but am a Gambian nationality...hey big up to Wade Maya ❤💥

That's bro wade for ya reply and am fan frm uganda 🇺🇬 where u were deported man it's too sad.

I know every country that reside in the continent of Africa, and quite a bit of its history, knowthyselfbtrue❤🖤💚
I have always had a longing for Africa even as a small child, I wanted to learn everything that I could about my home, trying to get back home🌍 Hopefully I will make it in a couple of years🌍 I was born and raised in Nebraska😏
Stop repeating that. It isn't true. The white man didn't create the bible. The bible is all about Africa. Our ancestors took God with them on the ship. They didn't learn of God from the white man. A bunch of fake deep hotep brothers spread these lies of ignorance, when u look at the facts, it's not true.
Ambassador Siyyon agreed. Like everything else, the whites stole the bible and misinterpreted it for their evil agenda with their fake religion. We have to whats ours, the true connection with God, and leave the devil’s lies behind.
Beautiful tour and Beautiful tour guide
I'm wasting my time in Sweden. I wanna come home to motherland Africa.
The white didn’t discover nothings, cos before they came our fore father were already there, I love my Africa... Africa to the world
Awesome video Wode Maya. You always deliver bro. Your content always teaches and educate people. I like your style and I want you to keep it up.

i have been this place in 2015 and I'm from the Gambia living in Sweden chasing my dream to go back my homeland and I'm only 19👌👌🌠
Wode head is spinning around this beautiful woman and she look goooood. 🙌🙌
I lived in Africa for 15 years 3 0f those in Dakar and your vid brought back many fond memories. I used to love taking the ferry to Goree and the lady who lives there is very lucky indeed. Thanks
Awesome historical information that place look so beautiful like Zanzibar.Good boy from Swahili Speaking Country Tanzania
Senegalese women are just amazing!!! Man... That shape!!!!
Goree island was already occuped by the Lebu tribe ( fishermen ) long time before the portuguese arrived here.
////
The Island of Goree is an exceptional testimony to one of the greatest tragedies in the history of human societies: the slave trade. The various elements of this “memory island” fortresses, buildings, streets, squares, etc. recount, each in its own way, the history of Gorée which, from the 15th to the 19th century, was the largest slave-trading centre of the African coast.
The house of slaves was built by the dutch in 1776.
////
I think you should go there to have more information about it because its an important part of African history.

IM MAAAAYAAAA🆙️ African brother from Sweden.
Wade Maya bro on the point of correction no body discovered Africa, we have been in existence way before there was European, Asian, Middle East
This Brother Wode Maya is God sent.

Wow what the beautiful island 😍😍😍😍 I like that the Name of Allah😘. Thank you Maya
Our Beautiful Paradise....Africa Our 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
Second greetings wode Maya from UK🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧♥️♥️
Let's just do some rectification about discovery...1st of all, please dont blame the lady in the video...she is right she just telling what she been taught at school...I'm Senegalese living in London and yeah when I was in school they taught us that the Portuguese were the 1st to discover Goree Island but here "Discover " simply means that the Portuguese are the 1st European among others ( French, german, English, Hollandese, spanish...) to step in this island so it doesn't necessarily means there were no black ppl living there. Indeed ppl were already living in that island! With that being said...I wanna thanks wode Maya for visiting Goree island and for doing such a beautiful job for "Africa to the world" ...looking forward to seeing part2 of Goree island cause there is still so much to show and tell about this Island...please go to the house of slavery there is a tourist guide who are gonna tell the history specially talk about the slavery both in French and English...its important to show that so that our brothers and sisters who live in the Caribbean and the afro-American can learn a lot about their origins.....thanks again and God bless you
Keep up the good work...1 love to you bro I am out....and welcome.e to Senegal anytime again!
many of our people want to be superior to someone so bad. need someone to look down on.
Hello. There is a part 2 about the slavery house History , it's done with a Man
That lady is too nice to handle black queen indeed 😊😊😊
Your footage is great, and your music is on point. Good job y'all.
Very good job Maya , I enjoyed watching and the music is fantastic,,
Thanks so much Wode Maya for showcasing Africa to the world. Yes,we are not dark as we are portrayed by many.
This vlog reminds me of my primary Social Studies classes.
Question:Why is not right to say that John Speke discovered the source of River Nile ?
Answer: It's because the natives had already confirmed so.
Please come to Uganda,East Africa, ,too.
Aiya Maya, in the United State of Louisiana, we have a state prison built on a former slave plantation named Angola and in Texas we have Goree. OMG, i did not know this about Dakar. It has enlightened me. Thank you
memories.. a huge part of my childhood visiting Goree island on summer holidays (btw i'm Ghanaian).. Africa is truly one people
It's been 2 years since I went to Goree Island... I miss it so much !!! My grandma has her family restaurant over there
Such a beautiful island. The Portuguese and French didn’t discover it because it already existed before their arrival, they captured/stole it from its occupants.
The Portuguese brought the black jews that were driven out of Portugal and spain during the inquition, they first took their children and took them to st thomas which at that time was a new colony, then the adults were sent to the west in Africa. Their goal it seems were to scramble the people, then they came back to get most of the kids years later from st thomas and sold them into captivity a long with mostly young people captured and sold into the Americas, and all over the world for free labor. Research and reading is a very important thing to do. In Africa I notice that on an African continent, the white race is credited for discovering everything even though there were people there before they came,Why aren't your leaders educating the youths better than that? They also partitioned Africa with these invisible boundaries further division so they can rape the continent of it's resourses and people, then they gave them Religion to dum them down, until this day religion has got their minds captive, using their own book, that they do not read properly to see what is actually written in their, maybe if they did theywouldsee that this book is actually about them, what they should and shouldn't do, and the consequences.
Africa is so beautiful
True white man never discovered anything in this continent 😴😴
"Discover" means first europeans who come to goree island. Before portugues There have local tribe called lebou, they where fishermen There were many battle between portugues, Deutsche and french to occupy the island because it's a strategic zone to go to America. Take look on Google maps.
nothing
Great video. I learned a lot. Such a beautiful island. Glad the people have made something so good out of what it was
