Am zambian 🇿🇲 I admire what Ghana 🇬🇭 started opening the doors for our brothers and sisters from the diaspora those who want to come home it's lovely
I'm old school black American and most folks from Ghana have always been open arms and they understand the history of what black Americans went thru in the 60s..much respect to them
@@LOGICAL-JAY much respect to you from a Ghanaian sister 1love
Ghana sold over half the slaves to the europeans along with gold
I visited Ghana for the first time in December love this place reminds me of Jamaica....... Ghana is Jamaica Jamaica is Ghana
Straight man🤞
Not really
Same thing I said
NO.
I'm a Jamaican and had a rastaman friend back then who used to tell me how much I looked like the Ghanaian and after migrating I worked with this Ghanaian girl who looks similar to me
Nice!👍🏽 Probably you are. We will definitely be happy to welcome you home❤️
Godislove you are our own
Come home for visit okay
You should visit to be fair the people are so nice there
Am a Ghanaian and one Jamaican man tell me l look like Jamaican girl too l always felt that in me we love you brothers and sisters 🥰❤️
No wonder the huge Jamaican Community in Ghana.
Jamaicans in Ghana are soo peaceful that people don't know they even exist.
Rita Marley's home is just 400 meters from my grandparents house in Ghana.
What I've learn from my family in Jamaica, I am of Ghanaian decent. The connection is something else I tell you.
There are two types of black people in Africa. One is Africans and the other Arabs. We can break it down farther, one is Jacob and the other Esau. One more step, Israelites and Edomiites. One more, Negroes and Fulanis. Negroes are original and Fulanis are invaders. maroons, moors and black Caribs are one.
I knew it 🥰
You always welcome home fam
You ever welcome to home dear

Thanks much Fam 🇯🇲❤️💚💛🖤
The Take is "Gye" not " Gy"...I hope this helps.
@@frimpongmaahannah9638 wouldnt 'gye' be better understood as 'collect' or 'receive'.
Correct me if i am.wrong but i would suggest the following:
The root of 'sika' is from gold.
Bɛra (come) but sounds like bra, the reason to add this distinction is because you can also say bɛ to mean 'come'
Di - eat, didi is for emphasis.
Medase - i thank you. There is a plural form.
@@kwawkwansah2452 Collect, receive and take are all " Gye " in Twi...
Thankyou for sharing. Interesting. As our patois comes from part of this language in jamaica
I've visited Ghana frequently as a 'white' male on business. The Ghanaian are very smart and very proud and strong. They do not take any nonsense. I can easily see how the Maroons are of Ghanaian ancestry. Lots of Respect for the Rastafari 🦁💪🏿
Am a Ghanaian according to the ashanti history the actual name of queen nani of maroons is nana akosua she happened to be a strong queen mother of one of the ashanti village during the the war she flee to ivory coast that's where she was captured and sold to the slave masters so queen nana akosua was a strong ashanti woman(queen nani)
@@MEDIA.AFRICA Queen Nanny was a Kromanti by birth. That is, she hails from that small fishing village on the Mankessim -Cape-Coast road.
That area from Edumafar, Asaafar, Kromantsi,Abandzi all the way to Anomabo and Moree are where the Maroons originated from.
Sir Francis Drake thought highly about the Maroons who he claimed "were skilled/skillful Fisherfolks / Hunters and Farmers and Warriors who knew so much about the seas that some Kromantis navigated alongside him and were from some communities in Western shores of Africa" .
Closer research points to the people on the shores of Ghana. The Akan dialect spoken by the Maroons of Jamaica,Surinam,Panama and the language of the Garifuna of Belize,Nicaragua,Honduras and places like Guatemala are more intelligible to the people of the coastal areas of present day Ghana.
Do some serious research please.
You white people you will pay for what you did to us the same way
They did take nonsense from racist white slave masters THEN
Stop calling Ashanti Maroons it's disrespectful
Nanny stands for Nana. Her brothers were called Cudjoe and Quao (Fante names).
Accompong is Akropong meaning ‘ first town’ common name for villages in Ghana. Maroons eat Dokonu (Kenkey), chew Bese (cola nut) and raise Sensen fowl ( Akokor Asensen in Ghana). They also blow the aben ( bull horns) like we do in Ghana and they call God Nyankipong, Akan word for God- Nyankopong.
Akompong is Assin name which means a great warrior. It's not the same as Akropong. Akropong literary means a big town but it's sometimes referred to a capital town.
It’s amazing,growing up in the country side, we had those chicken with the turned feathers , but I heard my elders called them sense fowl, so you said sensen , I know exactly what you are talking about
Accompong is Acheampong. Nanny was Queen Nana Yaa captured in Battle of Kortmantse. ( Cormantin). The Asantes were beaten by the British Fante alliance and sent to the West Indies.
@@Kya1942 Sorry, Accompong is different from Acheampong. They have different meanings. The name Accompong is usually found in the Assin area while the name Acheampong is usually found in the Ashanti area.
1. Accompong means a Great Warrior
2. Acheampong means a Great Spokesperson
@@oseitututawiah2109you are right about the names but the captured Asantes were the ones sent to Jamaica. The British recorded their names because of their notoriety. I got my answers years ago from a British historian whose writings about Asantes were publicised online. They started referring to them as the Kromantines. What even got me into this research was a Jamaican dude i knew. He would call me man Friday when we played football in college. We ended up bonding and a week after, on a business trip he told me about his family being Kromatines, and that they know their roots are from Ghana . This sparked my research. My Asantes folks were badly defeated by the Fante and British then hauled off never to be seen again.
It never crossed my mind that when the Jamaican says " mi asay" it's the same as "me se" in Akan!! Both means I say or I'm saying.
Yesssssssssss
Ehh😂
Jamaicans also say "mi seh" (I said) . "mi a seh" means I am saying
Love from Ghana 🇬🇭 we love our blood and miss you
We honor our ancestors by remembering who we are.
🇯🇲
The ties between Jamaica and Ghana are now well understood. Very insightful 👏 Awesome interview! Looking forward to more, Sindaco.
Thanks for watching. Kindly share for others to see
@@cookingwithsindaco this should be shown on National tv in Ghana
@@lilacer6841 💯👍😎
They also have many Nigerian ancestry as well
There should be more documentaries like this. I find that Jamaica has become so whitewashed, Americanised, chineyfied (okay... there's no such word as chineyfied) but you all know what I am saying. That unique history of our roots has dissipated to almost nothing and sometimes people don't want to know that we did not originate on the Island. I was in Black River recently and there was a heated discussion about how the Maroons betrayed the other Jamaican's. I kindly let him know I am proud of my father and the rest of my Maroon paternal family. We a warrior! I am taking my first trip to Ghana in December and I am so looking forward to exploring. Until we at least acknowledge who we are we will remain a displaced nation, to be manipulated to remain in servitude and enslaved. As much as I love the beautifully scenic Jamaica, I know that we do not own not one piece of the dirt. I advocate for us to decolonise our own minds that has been pounded with Eurocentrism. One love to all.
“Kromanti” is the language some of the maroons speak. It’s so interesting, as an Akan, to hear them speak; you can definitely hear this similarities to Twi. I remember hearing a maroon saying “I give thanks and praise to our God Nyankinpon”. Nyankinpon aka Nyakupon in Twi. It’s so interesting. Thanks for sharing ✨
Kromanti is a town in Central region, and Central region is where the slave castle was built. And the people in Central region speaks fante which is part of the akan language
@@cookingwithsindaco I wasn’t clear in my original comment. I know, I’m quarter Fante. I’m saying the maroons call the language they speak “Kromanti”.
@@xajae_ama ooh they call it by that name wow
@@xajae_ama There are Kromanti in Suriname also
@@fitawrarifitness6842 That is interesting. I’m not surprised though considering Suriname is a Dutch colony as was Ghana at some point. I’m aware a lot of our brothers and sisters ended up in Suriname. Thanks for sharing ✨
As a Jamaican, when I come across West and East Africans, they recognise a part of themselves within me, just by looking at my features and walk.
I was reading the "Hebrewisms of west africa" a book by Joseph J Williams. The book literally talks about how The Akans of Ghana influenced Jamaican culture and its a beautiful truth
influence? they are the same people.
I've never been to Jamaica but I love them . Simplicity at it best good job sindaco orekodo
Thanks for watching
We love you too, cousin.
My grandma was a moron and i love Africans my husband is African currently pregnant so I'm so proud to bring Africa back to my family also a lot of Africans say i look Ghanian plus I'm Jamaican and Bajan.
Wow
Your grandma was a moron or a Maroon? Just to clarify.

More Continental Africans need to take the initiative to learn like this gentleman
Being of the Garvey lineage I am proud to gain everlasting knowledge of our culture. Yes my mother is a Garvey.
Really, my descendants are also Garvey. Link up and let’s compare notes. I’ve done the research snd found out my husband abd I are 7 cousin removed and are both linked to TRH Garvey.
@soniaej ok we come some St.catherines
Next time you visit Jamaica , visit more of our communities. There are 2 sets of Maroons : Leeward & Windward 💖👍
This gave me goosebumps
First thing i noticed wo bo amaneɛ, an element of our culture retained
The Maroons for most of their time in Jamaica have been free men and boy did they cause havoc towards the slavers.
I dont think it is coincidence that those who held on to their African identity were the ones who resisted slavery the most. This is true all over the Caribbean.
I also hear the Maroon community has not had a murder for around 150 years.
Finally, the Maroons believe they are a state within a state based on the treaties they signed, however the Jamaican government is trying to appropriate their forested land as it has massive bauxite reserves.
I salute the Maroons, i am in awe of their wisdom
RasSolomon we hope to see you in Ghana soon.
I'm preparing another video about the Maroon town it self
@@cookingwithsindaco Thanks we are looking forward to it.
Ɔrɛkɔdo
@@cookingwithsindaco there are more than one areas in Jamaica where the Maroons settle. Acompong you must see.
@@cookingwithsindaco You should visit Acompong Town in St Elizabeth.
So true. Ras Solomon asking him (the guest) to state his mission/business and what he already knows & has heard before he, Ras Solomon (the host) speaks is just like what our elders do here. "Wo bo wo amane3" (state your business) like my fellow Ghanaian said.
I'm a Ghanaian and I learnt Jamaica came from Africa (Ghana) word from Jama Yaka meaning we may be stuck. I love Jamaicans sometimes mi wish mi wouda ave a Jamaican best friend an though mi never meet one a Dem, mi still know and believe all a Dem inna mi heart and will always be a part.

The ananse stories are all over the English speaking Caribbean islands
@@aarahsamuel6980 . Woow! That’s quite refreshing to know. We still have a lot of things that connect us. May God bless the souls of our ancestors who were taken to the diaspora for holding on to our history.
@Dona May
The British are excellent at keeping records. A few years ago a friend of mine he and I tried to obtain records held on slaves in the twin Caribbean Island of Antigua & Barbuda we contact the British library in the UK but was unable to get the information we wanted infact we were met with so many barriers. One day I'll try again
We call it susumba
Wow,bro Ras Solomon is full of wisdom.
He needs to visit Ghana, it'll be nice if we can set a go fund me account to fund a trip or pilgrimage to Ghana.
Bless up 😃 🙏
fr that would be dope! most rastas talk of repatriation but will never see that as A reality…
@@kingrastatv802 there are some jamaican returnees in my home town in Adukrom.. They call their place in the hills, Jamaican village. Nice people
Yes bless up mi Uncle Ras Soloman 🥰 Duppys Daughter
I love how the Jamaican Rasta man includes the Caribbean and Brazil and he probably would've broaden the list if the time wasn't so short, but he recognized it's something that didn't just happen to one country through out the carribean but all country's of the carribean and thats the beautiful spirit of Marcus Garvey. Garvey built schools through out the carribean and tried his best to keep us together but alot of evil forces tried to sabotage that relationship and made it look as if we aren't actually one people (Israel) under the creator of every sustainable and unsustainable living thing under the heavens, may the Almighty grant Marcus Garvey a place in the heavens🙏
Ok suh dis explains wah mek mi luv Jamaicans an dem way of living suh! Much mi ave always wish tuh visit di land, mi hope it happens before mi exit dis world..🖤🖤Ghana X Jamaica one luv❤️🥂

I’m a Jamaica citizen an I want go to Ghana 🇬🇭 to live but am into American try to work my way to my dream to go 🏡 back to Africa
I really love my country Ghana
With all the access to information, people don't realize the connection between Ghanaian and Jamaican. Our people took our food in Jamaica e.g ackee fruit. I had the privilege to make a lot of friends from 🇯🇲, when I lived in Brooklyn, NY and we had a lot in common. Sindaco, well done! Contact me, love to discuss these history.
Exactly bro ❤️
Those fruit trees were always there. Jamaica and the other Caribbean Islands have pretty much the same season(s)/climate as the African Continent and so does some of South America. Why do people believe that certain things only comes from Africa courtesy of the Caucasian enslavers.
THE CREATOR BLESS
❤
Live in Brooklyn now & my moms side of family are all professors so I grew up being taught Caribbean history. Most of the islands share many cultural similarities with West Africans. I could go on forever. ❤
I was once in Akonpon Festival and IT was really nice . IT was really funny on ma First night i took Aki strait from the tree and start to eat , i was really lucky🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Yes the lineage is really the true indigenous of Akropong. Now I understand why
Ooh maan. I want to go to Ghana

Asseeyyy,am really proud of you!!! Enjoy your stay 🙌🙌🙌
History which lots of Caribbean folks do not want to learn.thank we also learn about the coromantee people who were brought to Jamaica,and gave the masters opposition , they were also ship to Virginia in the us . the European used African to conquer the wealth of the land and used our people to produce more wealth in the world for the and their future generations.they hid our books, history and.want us to know their history.
Insightful and informative. Thanks ❤.
I’m a Ghanaian and I adore Jamaicans 🇯🇲 a lot and I will be proud to marry Jamaican women ❤
Blessed love welcome to JAMAICA💯🌟🔯🌟💯
I litreally just found out that my family heritage( my great grandmother & Grandmother was born and raised in Jamacia) goes back to a lady called Laura who was Ghanaian and Muslim. This is so intresting I wonder if we're part of the Maroons too?
I'm very glad to come across this Chunnel one thing I want you to know is that you are Hebrew descendants as well as all Ghanians.
There are also the (Red Ibos, Igbos) of Jamaica whom are from the Igbo ethnic group in Nigeria who still kept some of their Igbo Language till date.
Most Nigerian and Ghanaian slaves went from Caribbean Jamaica.
Yes Nigerians are in Jamaica too just a smaller percentage

I enjoy your program. I was waiting for your guest to explain more in detail about who or why we do not have a God. I was very surprised how the conversation changed into a different direction. 😮
Same here
The maroons in Jamaica should try and link up with their relatives in Moree and Koromantse in the Central Region of Ghana .
The Maroons should do ancestral DNA tests, if they want to. I am Maroon descent linked with Accompong Town. My ancestral DNA results show 69% Nigerian, 23% Sierra Leonean, 6% Kenyan. Many other African countries show up, including Ghana. Totaling over 92% African and less than 8% European, South American (Taino origin) and Asian, combined. Many tribes were mixed together, ran away into the hills along with the Tainos and interbred.
The maroons are not native of koronmanti. They were shipped from a castle in koronmanti. However, they were Alan’s captured from the inner land during one of the fanti Ashanti war. The captive were send to koronmanti fort and shipped to their current location. Read more on the maroons history and the flag of Jamaica. Same colour with the akans in the inter lands.
@@kessiesamuelobeng3947 I am Maroon descent and my ancestral DNA test results shows many African countries connection, with the dominants being Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Kenya. In lesser percentage Ghana bloodline and the Indigenous Taino are also present, in my blood, along with European and Asian countries. Maroons are run away Africans and Tainos. They lived in the hills and interbred. Interbreeding with Europeans went on, on the estates. Jamaica's motto states, "Out of many, one people" and is absolutely 100% correct. DNA tests shows and confirms the origins of all the people who have produced children, in Jamaica. Blood cannot lie and our ancestors' blood speaks through our veins.
@@ruthjohnson9025 yea but before colonialism there was nothing like Ghana,Nigeria,Benin or Ivory Coast…it was borderless therefore DNA ancestry is false
This was very informative an im happy I found this channel ✅
I feel nice just watching this, mindset switch. Thank you
That was a beautiful interview. Thank you for the perspective of an African descendent. Jamaica is a beautiful island and I am glad you are free there. I pray that "active fisherman rights" protect access to all your beautiful beaches. 🎣 😎 🏝️ 💪
We were given a perception that African was poor, is since 2023 I know that African were rich and we have a God he is the I am that I am, and is since 2022 I come to realize that I am from the Maroon tribe been Pryce,
Love, Honor and Respect to Sindaco. Indeed, this is great interview learning about the Slave Trade, Ghana, Jamaica, and the Maroons. Africa is the biggest continent on the planet and they even lied about that. Therefore, I am extremely grateful when I hear my own Black People tell us about our history and what our ancestors have done for the Black Race.
Similar story in Suriname except that the Surinamese Maroons have kept the language after 400 years. Sindaco go to the villages of Suriname and learn about your other family who were at war with the Dutch and escaped from slavery over 400 years ago and maintained the culture! To the Rasta brother, all of the prophets were Muslim which only means submitting to one God. The black man's God is Allah which means the most high. Islam as it is practiced today reached Africa (Ethiopia in early the 7th Century) and the king that accepted the Muslims freeing from persecution in Makkah also became Muslim. The first Mosque in Africa is in Ethiopia and the religion spread from East Africa to West Africa and Mansa Musa (Mali Kingdom) was the richest man to have ever lived and he was a Muslim and even sent expeditions to the west and ended up some say in the americas and caribbean. Nigeria has 78,000,000 (78 million muslims). Mali, Senegal and Gambia is around 99% Muslim. The Rasta was right in that we came from different parts of Africa so look to where we came from and see the population today and the religion that they are practicing. Islam was there and christianity came after and as the Africans say they brought the bible with them and when we raised our heads from praying they had the land and we had the bible. We have been divided for too long and I hope that the diaspora begin to realize that we didn't ask to come to the west we were forced, no visa, no passport, took our name, religion, erased our culture and God. Africa is home! Love you all and unity is strength! ua-cam.com/video/A-3Z1KbYUj4/v-deo.html and part 2 in Suriname ua-cam.com/video/Kv_T30rqo0Y/v-deo.html Fu sab pe yu go sab pe yu komopa. When you know where you are from, you know where you are going!
Master stop commenting what you know nothing about 🤣🤣
The Muslims have kill millions Africans in the name of Mohammed and Islam jusr like the European in the name of their white God Jezus and with the bible in their hands.
I always wondered too because there is so many similarities between Ghanaians and Jamaicans as mentioned in this video.
Sadly though there's a lot of Jamaicans that don't like to admit their ancestry.
I don't know or know of "any" Jamaican that don't like to admit their ancestry. Such reckless declaration requires context, evidence, clarity.
I am Jamaican resides in the U.S acknowledges my ancestors..frm Ghana.. I am descendants of the Ashanti tribe ...much respect!!
Where you you find those Jamaicans?? In my 32 yrs living in Jamaica I have never met one! Hello?? Have you seen our schools on fetes and festivals days? African prints are our go-to in October for heritage month. And jankuno is a must every December in any parish outside of Kingston. Kingston boring and only good for business these days. Any Jamaican I've had the privilege of talking to about Africa has never shun the conversation.
That's too bad for them ,still in the colonial brainwashment thinking !
You're absolutely correct
That's why there are so many #Unruly fans in Ghana......... We connects so much with popcaan

Interesting interview. RAS SOLOMON gave a good interview but from listening very well to him about his knowledge of how he was 1st taken from Ghana via "The place of no return" and his knowledge of his people captivity to the Muslims, Spanish, and English. He questioned the Black people religion and of them not having any proper religion of their own not identifying with the Muslim or Christian religion where the black slaved were given the Bible by the British on one hand whilst they held the gun in their other hand. He also talked about the Jews capitalising from the richness of Africa . What was interesting for me is that this man did not know that he comes from the tribe of Judah as an Israelite and went into captivity in the 1st place because he and the people from Judah had abondoned their covenant with Yehweh and went into idolatry worshipping of many gods in the land of Ham (Africa). Many black people were taken from the Goal Coast of Ghana (on (JUDA on old map of Ghana) but were originally Israelites living in the land. . God warned Israel in Deuteonomy 28 what would happen to them if they broke covenant agreement with him. Please read. I see this bro as i do many from Jamaica and other Caribbean Islands as lost sheep without a shepherd. Many have lost sight of their real name, their language and most importantly their true God. Isaiah 1:1-9 concerning Judah " “I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me.The ox knows its master, the donkey its owner’s manger, but Israel does not know me. My people do not understand.” Woe to the sinful nation, a people whose guilt is great, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the LORD; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him.Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted. From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness- only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with olive oil.Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.Daughter Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a cucumber field, like a city under siege.Unless the LORD Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.
God indeed has not called the black hebrew people who ended up in slavery to follow the Muslim religion, the Christian religion, or the African religion which includes ancestral worship (where they are guided by their dead ancestors rather than by the word of God and his holy spirit) libation, and many other practices which is contrary to God's instructions to Israel. The white Jews in Israel and other parts of the world are European Jews that practices the religion of Judiasm and has used this to disguise their wickedness. Many belong to the synagogues of Satan as recorded in psalms 83 and are certainly not a people that love and worship the God of Abraham,. Isaac and Jacob. Of course there is always the exception in every religion who genuinely love God but may not yet come to the knowledge of the truth. The real Jesus Christ from the tribe of Judah died for the whole world. I do not mean the white faced, blond haired, blue eyes a European Jesus painted in the image of Michael Angelo that was created by the Roman/Europeans in their own image and supported by the Vatican evil religious system for human oppression and domination. God is calling his Hebrew people back to himself. Many live in the land of Ham in Africa. Many live in the four corners of the world. God promise to bring them back to their own land in the end. Jamaica, the Caribbean, E gland, America, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Portugal and Europe is not our land. Some parts of Africa extend to the land of Israel but many people don't know this. Many Israelites escaped to Africa in AD70 when Israel was demolished by the Crusaders who bore the Roman cross and guns.
Your comment shows the extent of indoctrination these Abrahamic religions have had on Africans. You are brainwashed to defend them through all manner of twisted bible-inspired stories 🤣😆. Good luck!
@@cheyehudimaxwell126 you either believe you or not believe. Each of us have the ability to choose for ourself. I know that I did not make myself. I did not evolved into a human being from a monkey nor came about as a result of a big bang. So yes I do believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and respect the fact that you can also choose to believe what or in whom you like also.
Thankyou for sharing. As I sat trying to figure out where in Africa Abrahams son lived that black Jamaicans can associate with. Should you have other literature link please can you share it. I went to the bible to find these answers

It's important to know your history..amen. Queen Ms freda
Sindaco try visit Suriname also, the speak twi and has Ghanaian names.
I met on Ghana bro other day in it's like I know him all my life the way we were talking is girl was saying the same thing it's like we know each other from a long time he definitely blending with us 🇯🇲 I thought he was on Jamaican before we started talking stay strong brothers✌️
I now understand the chemistry 🧪
Ghana 🇬🇭 and jamaica 🇯🇲 are like brother and sister
Thanks for sharing this bro
Same thing with Nigeria. We saw quite a few plants that were brought to Jamaica that also exist in Nigeria. I would imagine that they were also grown in Ghana since they are so close. My father inlaw who is Nigerian did ancestry DNA and all his relative matches were in Jamaica. I hope more people from the continent will do DNA to help more Black people in the America make the connections to the continent.
I don't call myself African, because am far removed based on the distance...but am strong and proud of that African ancestors who were already in Jamaica or were brought there.yes the original people of Jamaica were black's,but they tried to teach us that they were different in terms that they called those people then Arawak,taino.but they were actually African types people but am proud of my African ancestry.
According to BioMed Central (BMC biology) in 2012, the average Jamaican has 60% of Asante matrilineal DNA. I am not surprised
Akans, mostly from Kromanti, the Fante tribe.
Please can you have another interview with some elderly ty.
Heyyy,I saw your video on tiktok were your kids missed you dead and their emotions were all over the place,when you visited them in school..it was cute❤
Just btw though..
Yes please. I travelled to create contents Jamaica 🇯🇲 ,Senegal, Togo, Ghana 🇬🇭
Wow is good to learn this history
Wow…!! You done really well talking to this man… I’ve actually learned a lot through that. Like he said the whites damaged their mindset so they don’t come back… Mmmm God Have Mercy 🙏🙇🏽♀️🙏.
But anyways history is good but we shouldn’t dwell on it.
God bless You Rasta for this beautiful talk😘. ONELOVE ☝🏾❤
Thanks for watching and loving it. Kindly share the video
There are many in the diaspora that would not take kindly to your suggestion to not dwell. The past may not have been pleasant, but it is part of our history. We will not forget our ancestors who had to endure the torture of the journey from Africa to the Caribbean. We can empower ourselves with the knowledge that our ancestors survived that, so we in turn can survive whatever might come our way in the present day. Another thing, our birthright was stolen from us. That is something we will never forget.
Well done big 🦈💯💯
Great conversation and Big UPS on Mending that CONNECTION....WHOLE LOVE Family...
Thank you sir
Welcome you are a great blessing 💖 one love 👑 guidance 🔥
This is a dope interveiw.he dropped some jewels!
Yes Jamaica roots is from Ghana
I have watch many videos about it on UA-cam here, the way they build their homes and the food it similar with Ghanaian food,Jamaicans ancestral roots is truly from ghana 🇬🇭 Jamaicans should just visit home
Visit your ancestral home just come
Reconnect with us, the rest of Africans are the body which different parts was taken from them
Our brothers in the Caribbean and diaspora in the 🇺🇸 are the other part of the body,we Africans can be whole and the body can be complete again when our brothers visit their ancestral land, visit sometime it your birthright brothers.
Nigeria also speak a lot of words we speak,I grew up doing things ,I saw Nigerians doing in their movies,ghana also,my grandmother did really Nigerian stuff,she's dead longtime and I saw things she did in the movies so we are fr west Africa but I say jamaicans are mostly ghanaians and Nigerians
Good lesson to learn..please next time u interview someone,ask the question and JUST LISTEN and respect their response and allow then to be themselves during that period,stop pushing word and even a full sentence to him as if u want him to say what u know and think.just be silent and when done ask another
Thank you 😊
Very interesting I am an adent ready of slavery I did the slave trade for gce examine I love hearing the history not only slavery but black history
Great content, but I'd hope that next time you embark on such a journey, you do enough research at home so that you can also offer a better explanation as to how and why there's a missing link to some of the Akan language. For instance, the name Jamaica 🇯🇲 came from the Fante language. There's a history aligning with his explanation of how enslaved people were brought from different parts of the African continent and how people from the same country couldn't understand each other because of the language barrier, let alone other enslaved people from different countries added to them. The ship moved from place to place until it made its way to the island. After a while, the enslaved people realized the boat/ship wasn't continuing the journey, so one amongst the enslaved asked rather brusquely. “Dzama yaaka?” They all latched onto that expression as it became the common expression that brought them together to forge a sense of unison. Patois came from the Akan language mixed with English and other dialects of the enslaved people. That took a while to take form and then gradually took shape to become a well-known language.
The English language at the time was not common amongst them (Africans) until they slowly learned it from the red coat (enslavers/owners). Their language called “Kromanti,” explains how far away from home they've come to be on that island. In the Akan language called “Twi,” “Kromanti” goes like this “Kuro ɔman tenten,” which is far from home. The Akans consist of Ashantis, Fantis, Akyems, and so on. Africans had the traditional religion, and the Arabs/Middle East were already engaging the Africans in trade, buying herbs, frankincense, and other forms of illicit human trade before Europeans got wind of what was happening. Mansa Musa was known to have had so much wealth in gold and traveled with much of his wealth which might have ruffled some feathers of the Europeans and all who grew interested in wanting to enrich themselves. They might have thought they had the arms and ships that could stop them from becoming rich themselves. They turned out to be pirates, and then slowly, the royal families marched their armies to the continent Africa. They were greedy amongst themselves when you consider how pirates operated. Hiding their treasures in the ocean and far away places as they kept killing each other trying to find hidden gems. The monarchy brought discipline and their learned Aristocrats to enter the continent to teach and show the black man a better way of life and vocation. This, education was because the black man's way of life was nothing short of savagery. Look up “Shaka Zulu” and the practices of the African kingdoms when a chief or king dies. Look at some of the ways on the continent of the pre-colonial era, which were nothing short of the Mayan empire because a particular God needed to appease. The people of the land quickly latched onto Christian religion as they brought their churches and practices to clearly show a clear-cut distinction for the people to choose the best suitable religion to follow and worship-one of peace and the other unsettling. The people didn't know any better until they were offered a choice. Brainwashing the black man became more accessible as we were easily tamed to choose sides. Education awakened our mindsets, and the center couldn't hold anymore. Unfortunately, the name of Ghana didn't need much explanation to avoid prying eyes, the Gold Coast! Currency was not much about money, as trading was barter-exchanging goods like salt for vegetables and guns for human beings, or gunpowder for gold, etc. As brother Solomon said, the Muslims were the ones who started before the Europeans.
Look up the Turkish movie called the “Resurrection of Ertugrul.” Much can be derived from that. Viola Africa's indoctrination led to the situations of today. How else could all Africans have engaged the continent in commerce and the common law of understanding? Aristocrats in those days knew better than the Africans had envisaged. Nigeria has almost 600 dialects/languages, Ghana is nearly 85, Cameroon is over 200, etc., and 54 countries comprise the continent. Do the maths and figure out how all of us would have turned... SLAVERY was bad. It changed mindsets because we were forced to. Here we are today, speaking, reading, and writing in the language of the enslaved. AFRICAN nowadays prefer engaging in business transactions using the enslaver’s currency, even in mainland Africa and the leaders are not doing much to better the continent to the benefit of its citizenry. What happened in the past was terrible, and hopefully, we can do well to ensure such a thing never happens again. Still, we should instead strive our very best to relate with everyone on the continent well, as we all speak the same language and understand each other.
Jamaica was inhabited by the Taino Indians for thousands of years before the Spanish landed in 1494, followed by the English in the 1500s. The island was called Xyamaica by the Tainos, meaning ‘land of wood and water’. It was changed by the Spanish to Jamaca and when the British fought the Spanish for the island, they named it Jamaica! Jamaica already had its name before any Africans arrived in the island, so no Ghanaian was responsible for naming Jamaica - it already had a name! It has nothing to do with Fante or any other Ghanaian language. Ghanaians get carried away with their stories about Jamaica. They need to stop their incorrect stories about Jamaica and read up on Jamaican history instead of making up your own stories.
and who taught you that history? rhe slave masters huh 🤣🤣 we believe in the eroupean to much and that is our biggest problem
@@valenalford1307 If you’re Jamaican learn your history instead of talking nonsense! If you’re not Jamaican, be respectful of its history and move on! It’s called history for a reason. You can’t change history - it is what it is. Some people make up stories to suit their narrative without having a clue what they’re talking about.
@@Cyb-t8u very intelligent and am even confused as i write my comment..OMG so who do i believe now?
@@Cyb-t8u please i beg you no insult okay....everyone is sharing their ideas i know you are very intelligent and have read much
A note on the food. The British transplanted foods from one colony to the next to make the colonies self-sustainable. Mangos, Breadfruit and Jackfruit all came from the East. Sugar cane and yams came from Africa.
Yow,we are all Africans, they bring us to Jamaica an turning us into part of their brand Jamaica, but I an I is nothing but a proud African
