      That's a difficult one... Because every attempt to make Pan-Africa nation a reality or anything that resembles the the EU-Union or even a Single African currency for all African nations have been shut down by U.S.A.
      They killed Muammar Gaddafi for trying to reach that goal and fed lies about him to fool everyone as if he was a "dictator"

    I love Wode Maya!! And Thank You kind Sir for speaking the truth!! As an African American the everyday drama in the lives of OUR African Sisters n Brothers does NOT encourage me to visit, live Africa.
    It’s home, so eventually WE gotta come, but culturally we need lots of honest, insightful, BLESSED Special Africans to guide US and hold OUR collective hands.
    Stay prayed up Wode sweetie and don’t let the haters hurt that lil Village boy! Kiss the wifey for US! Peace n Blessings!
    And I love the team interviewing!! Ya’ll is on point and asking the REAL DIFFICULT questions!! And there lies the difference between MOTHER AFRICA n the United States, the questions, the answers, and the fallout!
    Y’all make me MISS what I ain’t even seen, breathed, held or dreamed!
    Thanks, that word can’t even scratch the surface!
    The Ancestors know…

    Wode Maya is wise beyond his age and so authentic. Continue to be yourself, continue to inspire and keep up the good work. I see that people in your generation have started a movement for change in the country and the continent as a whole. You’re influencing the next generation and those after positively. It’ll take sometime due to the magnitude of the problems especially the mental slavery but will eventually happen. You’re walking in the steps of some great ancestors but we need consistent messaging so don’t give up.

    PLEASE give us the opportunity to speak to the President regarding the treatment of Africans AND African Americans in this country. Many of us return “home”, because of how we are treated in the USA. The expectation is that things would be different in Africa. It’s not in so many different ways! We are all ONE people!

    I used to road ship heavy duty equipment to Togo and Bennin around 2002. This was used as onboard ship discharging equipment and return the equipment when the job is done. My engineers and I had a very difficult and time consuming experience. The language barrier, poverty and the calibre of officers is the root cause of the problem.

    "Deux mille" (two thousand) or you dont pass, they will ask you to stand aside if you ask what the deux mille is for. I have gone through this many many time, because anytime I pass through the Gh-Togo border. Somewhere in 2005 or 2006, I was at the border going through one of such fights and a then minister (the late Maj. Quashigah) was also passing through and I tried to draw his attention to what was going on and till date, it is still going on. I was so mad I told the immigration officers at the Gh side to take note of how we were being treated by the Togo official. it's about time this is ended. Kudos to Maya for exposing this to the world.
