    Gambia is writing new constitution and soon going for a referandum to be approve. The citizenship is highlighted and many of our diasporans are going to have citizenships. Citizenship or non, our AfroAmericans and African decenders are always welcome. We might have differences because of history but we are going to forge ahead.

      it is very important that we know ahead of time, that yes there is a path to citizenship; it removes all the unknown out of the way and we can come and fully invest.

      Demba Njie. I thought that our history was different but now that I've seen things going on on UA-cam and Africa I see now that you guys have been going through the same thing that Americans were going through. Such similarities that went on with Martin Luther King in the March and the dogs and the fire hoses being released on children and women and men. They did the same thing in South Africa during apartheid. Hell I didn't even know anything about apartheid until Mandela had already been locked up for 25 years. If it weren't for Bona we wouldn't have known anything about apartheid.

    My Ph.D is in Research Psychology, and I live in Seattle. Originally from Nigeria and still very strong Igbo man, and I think you have a lot to teach us in Africa. When it comes to the idea of how to be creators of our own realities, you got that. Kindly, make it easy for an average Gambian to understand how to go from absolutely nothing to the point of doing something they would be proud of. You should be forming a coalition with the Government of Gambia on how to teach African people to do for themselves. Make the contact for the sake of the poor Africans who still believe the pastors. The pastor thing is not working and we all know it.

    • @ewessyo
      @ewessyo 4 роки тому +2

      @Whitney Titus Not really, you have to know that in Africa we share information with each other. As a matter of fact, this is one reasons we do very well in the United Staes.
      Haven't you noticed that African nurses always bring more of their friends to the same hospitals. And don't be surprised that a lot of them went to the same nursing school as well.
      We know that as a group, you can only share what you know even if some find it offensive. In fact because they are African Americans, the locals will listen to them before they listen to their own fellow citizens back there.

      Rene 1111 We can start by establishing organizations that help fund and bridge African Americans (especially children in high school or college) to visit the motherland. An experience like that is life changing. THOSE are the people who will change the narrative . I follow many bloggers and you tubers whose work is doing the same. Before only “they” showed us Africa , now WE show our people Africa .

      Rene 1111 pretty much . My sister is passionate about working with African American boys but she wants to move to Ghana. And I said to her it doesn’t mean you abandon the people you’re called to you find a way to bring them along. So that’s where the idea came from. We need more bridges between the US and Africa.

    You are both so inspirational. I have lived in the UK since I was a baby and really want to retire in west Africa. Things are getting worse for us here and we just need to live. I am going to come to Gambia as soon as airports open and will come and explore it. If I like it, I will then plan to sell up my assets in the UK and move to Gambia. My family are East Africa but as long as I am in West Africa, I am sure I will be happy.
