    Very influencial but educational at the same time. I am A diaspiran, and I do known that many slaves or captive were taken from there to the Caribbean island lands in the western hemisphere. But it's a very painful and hurting history that can not be forgotten ever. We are still feeling the pains today. We are looked at as foreigners by the colonial government systems of Ghana and other countries in Afrika. Keep doing a Good and bless work my little sister, it will pay off.

      The name used above is the slave master of my great grand father. My real true name is Verne Ebernie'to dos Lobitos of the Afrikan Portuguese Hebrew people, of old.

    This interviewer is very good! She's intelligent, articulate and very thoughtful with her questions.
    She also gives the interviewee the space to speak and gently steers them back on course if they digress. Just beautiful.

    This studio must be made into a museum, great tourist attraction and a learning historical hub for our children! The pictures must be properly stored behind glass displays to protect them. Also can the curator have a brochure of each picture and its brief historical background stories in Ga, Twi and English. Those pictures must be protected at all costs and insured. It is our legacy for future generation of Ghanaians.

    Absolutely fascinating episode. This is one place I would love to visit several times when I come to Accra/Ghana, God willing! The guests on this show are all lovely, brilliant and model citizens of their great country, Ghana. Ms Wonder, the young but matured, gorgeous and intelligent host of the show knows her craft very well, I am optimistic she will one day in the near future find herself at high places in her country. May the Almighty be always with her and her guests. Love from your Ethiopian brother in Denmark to all who participated in this show, and God bless! 🙏🌹🙏

    GhanaWeb TV, you are doing very good work and I love most of the documentaries. However, it appears your Advert labels almost take about a third of the screen obscuring the main videos and pictures. Are you able to minimize the size of your Advert Caption labels to bring out more clearly the subject matter? That would be great. More grease to your elbow. I love the interviews very much. Keep it up.

      That’s always the case “you never know what you have, until you loose it”; unfortunately we do not have or show proper interest in Art. And the Studio did not attract the Youth as it should. If there was Popular Music blasting out every day, Esther and her friends would have been spending time inside!

I will be happy if he and other GAADAMGBE historians will come together to write the history of the GAADAMGBE PEOPLE. This will go all the to other regions also to write their history. Every region we have in GHANA have got HISTORIAN why they dont come together rewrite our history. And all th his historians are getting older ,do we sit down and let th them go with this reach HISTORY we have in GHANA.

      Why didn't you keep Gold Coast, Upper Volta, Rhodesia German Tanganyika? See, those who had changed those names to what we know of them today were brave men and we're not "cowards" who would like to please their oppressors simply because they could not help themselves in the poverty they had found themselves in and therefore wait on their European overlords for a "broniwawu" underwear.
      Men take action.
      No wonder you call your royal thrones "stools" which sound in English as "shit" even though it might be written slightly different. The knew what he meant when he taught you how your thrones should be called and you bought it without reasoning.
      The English man also has kings but they sit on thrones as God sits in heaven on a throne, but your Nii mei, Togbiwo and Nananum sit on "shit"?
      James Town has a bad energy because the builder had a bad energy and that's the place is in that predicament.
      You nuts even see nothing wrong calling slave dungeons as Castle until our brothers and sisters from the diaspora brought your attention to it that there's nothing "castle" about such demonic structures.
