All black diaspora who are descendants of slaves must get there land back FREE LAND back!! There ancestors had land before they were put on slave ships and they should not have to merge there selves into the local culture they can develop there own culture and own language and at the same time be respectful of other cultures and languages. ALL diaspora have the right to there own land that they were stolen out of they deserve to have an entire country carved out for them.

You would need a school to teach navigation and maintenance of those ships. Ships can also be used for logistical purposes. Speaking of ships airplanes are ships too. Teach aviation too they can also be used logistically. In order to trade you need a good to great logistics company. Warehousing is also a good idea. Then you could also create an African answer to Amazon. African countries need highways that connect them to neighboring countries for easier trade.

[@mumbingugi]

Even though I am an African who wholeheartedly welcomes AAs to Africa, the demand for free land by some of them is neither in line with reality nor historical facts. Firstly, the trans-Atlantic slave trade took place almost exclusively on the western and south-western coast of Africa. Therefore, African governments from elsewhere will simply say, "This has nothing to do with us!" Even worse for AAs, these governments can decide that legally therefore, AAs are simply American citizens with no special status in their countries. This means that the whole of eastern and southern Africa ( which comprises most African countries) will only accept you on the same basis as any other foreigner. Another fact that is little known by AAs is that, of the total number of trans-Atlantic slaves, those who ended up in the US AND Canada comprised a mere 4-5%. Brazil alone took in 40-50%! Given these facts, there are those who ask why AAs are so demanding, yet their numbers in the slave trade were miniscule. Secondly, the Indian Ocean slave trade in which African slaves were shipped from eastern and southern Africa to the Middle East was equally extensive and destructive. East Africans will wonder therefore, why only the descendants of the trans-Atlantic slave trade are making what seems to be unreasonable and unwarranted demands. After all, all of the Middle East and some other parts of Asia have slave descendants from eastern and southern Africa. Thirdly, Africans are themselves only coming to terms with the devastating consequences of colonialism which only ended half a century ago. Most African countries are yet to recover, especially from the economic devastation wreaked by colonial and neo-colonial policies of exploitation. Furthermore, countries such as Kenya and Zimbabwe had to endure horrors of war for many years in their determined quest to oust colonizers from their lands. In South Africa to-date, whites own more than 70% of the land, an issue that black South Africans obviously want addressed. In view of this, my suggestion to AAs is to have realistic expectations in Africa lest their demands drive a wedge between them and Africans living on the continent and in the diaspora. In such a scenario, AAs will undoubtedly be the losers. Bear in mind that until there is political will in Africa to change the immigration laws, AAs travelling to Africa are considered American citizens, period. How you conduct yourselves in Africa in the meantime, will largely determine what direction this process takes. From a political standpoint, this sense of entitlement does not help your case at all, especially on the very sensitive issue of land in Africa.

My country may have problems but is a higher income GDP per capita and the standard of living is higher here than many African countries save for a few areas. However, when compared to the chinese, jews UK, US and EU we have something in common. We are just consumers. We dont produce enough products to become wealthy via business. We just sell depleting raw resources to maintain the facade of wealth. Its not a saviour complex I am an African-descendant. Yet my people the world over are not respected. Even black Trinidadians think Africa is the picture that the BBC shows about conflict and starving children in mud huts. they dont even venture to look at youtube videos to see the contrary developments taking place.

As a small business owner I think we should also consider investing in Logistics import/exports. I recently started my e-commerce retail business and I've notice that the system is determined to stifle African business by charging exorbitant shipping rates. I traveled to Tanzania and Kenya last year and decided I would work with the local artisans who make handmade bags and jewelry. I used DHL for shipping and found that unfortunately the Dutch, and US have the market on this industry and they are determined to make life difficult for us. This type of venture could definitely be an asset to the African/ A. African entrepreneurs who want to facilitate building throughout the continent also as well as making it easier to move produce and goods from Africa to the US and throughout all diaspora communities. By the way I am a retired military NCO, educator and entrepreneur. I recently acquired a 2 year residency in Kenya and plan on starting a preschool. I have a few contacts in Tanzania and in Kenya and am very interested in networking and bridging the gap between our family...

The idea of sending fresh produce to the U.S. is good. But how do you get African Americans or Blacks in the U.S. on board. We see many African Americans coming to Africa and instead of eating the fresh organic food, they end up going to restaurants to look for "their food" like pizza, burgers, etc. They're used to unhealthy food and it's so difficult to convince them to eat African food. In fact we've seen many of them complain about food the first time they come to Africa.

I am a Black African Diasporan who was born in the US. Demanding free land is absurd. No visas, that is a different story. We should not be charged for a visa fee, but it is their country; not ours. Partnering for free land is a better idea. Why? Because it is a partnership between Diasporans and Locals. It would be a win-win situation if no greed/theft is involved. It would bring employment to the area/locals. The chief looks good. The locals have the land, skill sets, connections and the diasporans have the money, access, and skill set. We have to address our problems as a win-win solution instead of I deserve mentality. Because we all deserve. The question becomes-will you do what is necessary and beneficial for the progression and preservation of Black people? Most will answer no, because it is about them and not the collective (which affects the individual).

[@xena6894]

Agree with most of what you said. However , I'd go further and say these guys really are misleading their audience and playing up on the western , even AAs stereotype of Africa as a country. Most of African countries don't have leberal land laws like Uganda. You'd be suprised to know how many countries you, as an american can go buy a land and get it transfered on your name. Only a small handful. As for the skills and money , it depends on which countries you're comparing yourself with . If you go to southern Africa for instance, they have more skills and money than what an AA could bring.

[@NDR-hu8wh]

[@johaquila]

Talking about opportunities, here are a few random ideas. Maybe someone finds one of them a useful starting point: - How about a free university for gifted students both from Africa and the African diaspora? Here is how it could work: Provide the buildings and housing for the teachers and students. Then invite retired university teachers from all over the world. Provide them with just a little bit of funding, and allow them to organize themselves. - Look at the Amish and Mennonite people and what they are doing in the US. These are basically German _tribes_ that created their own pockets of 18th century German culture inside the US. The conservative ones think twice before accepting any bit of the surrounding culture, coming up with rules such as: mobile phones are OK for work but must not enter the house, where they may not even allow electricity. To a large extent they live sustainably on agriculture, and they have an explosive growth and their young families buy cheap farmland that was ruined by industrial farming and is no longer profitable for it. Also look at the Gullah Geechee people, the Jamaican Maroons, and Gaspar Yanga in Mexico for some inspiration as to what an African tribe in the US could look like. - I am not sure that the export of food from Africa to the US makes a lot of sense. I am afraid the US gets its imported food from elsewhere because it's cheaper that way. However, I like the idea of African Americans spending some time in Africa to see what it's like. Only I would extend it to a full year and would make it a rite of passage for young people. At first it might just be enough to popularize the idea, so the more motivated people find ways to make it a reality. Over time, various opportunities would be developed. Here are two: 1. Exchange programs between HBCUs and African universities. 2. Some African countries would no doubt realize that it is in their interest to offer 1-year (non-renewable) work visas for young African Americans, as they are likely to benefit their host countries in various ways in the future. And some organizations would no doubt offer a wide variety of opportunities to make use of this for mutual benefits to the young guests and the locals. - IT should have a great future in Africa. A lot can be done with a 5-year-old computer and a reasonable Internet connection. As the cost of living in Africa is typically lower than where IT work is currently being done, there seems to be a lot of potential for successful businesses here. South Africa seems to be leading with this, for good reasons, but I think it's a chance for other countries as well.

[@ctruth6185]

Why not make that exchange program stronger by including a few residents from inner city urban neighborhoods working alongside HBCU students & African students? Could go a long way in motivating urban residents to open shops where they can also learn to import/export while also learning languages, recipes into books, cultural exchange etc.

Interesting topic. Honestly, I think giving free land might be a great incentive for the diaspora with no previous connection to Africa that want to relocate to Africa. Yes I’m thinking about African Americans and yes I’m biased because I am one. I think it might help in a significant way to make a challenging transition easy. Many countries do that for their genetically linked people that want to return, plus more, because they value themselves and their people. I do think it should be land that is truly free according to legal and tribal rules. Also, for persons concerned about this, I am confident that free land offers would still not be enough to motivate an exodus. Probably only a handful of people would take this offer up. So I doubt that group has much to worry about.

This makes me think on western reparations plans and how those plans could actually work in Africa. Grants and opportunities are viable in Africa because the limiting factor that would normally be victim to sabotage. I believe Africans can create their own "wealth" very easily. Especially in cooperation. I believe free land should be given to those who can at the very least draw up a plan for the land. Residential - family size, energy/water source, interner/infrastructure, property/building size. Commerical - plot size, business size (if one exists already), business plan and land use strategy (blueprint of facilities, energy and water sourcing, pollution control/waste management etc.) Industrial, Park and & Rec, Nature reserve and so on. The catch being you will be persuaded to go where you are needed most. And going where you are needed most will be met with support, whereas going on your own is just that.

Didn't we try this same free land/country give away with AAs in Liberia? How did it work out? We learn from history that, we dont learn from history.

[@simpletruth1369]

Exactly. This issue has already been solved. When people's land is given away to strangers it's only a matter of time before the rightfull owners will use force to settle the matter and reclaim it. This is how Africa works. Infact land issues is one of the most dangerous dispute you could get into out here. Wars are fought over it and families can use force over it.

[@barrytelesford5265]

it was not tried properly then. and these times bring better opportunities now. you have also tried it with what you are doing currently and how is that working out. if you need no one and you could do it all on your own well fine go ahead. but if not then be smart an learn to share so that you will benefit long term.

[@berthekabwe871]

​@@barrytelesford5265I see you living comments everywhere going against what majority of Africans are saying. They are telling you reality and that's this will literally be impossible to happen in this day and age in Africa. With the exception of West Africa and maybe Central Africa. East and Southern African countries will be against it. Land issue is a dangerous topic on the continent. There are ethnic tribes who were kicked of their land in the DRC, these tribes were forced to go to neighboring countries to seek refuge because they have NO land in their country. Majority of Congolese living in other African countries and including Canada and the US came as refugees for that reason.

In order for the African governments to truly help the Diaspora and native bro/sis to grow/develop each other, there needs to be an economic/social infrastructure to do this like most Western or 1st world nations does . It can be done amongst the world's best population which is Africa , so AU man and power up . Peace Fam. . ❤

This was a very informative show. But let’s not just talk, but execute!

[@AGirlNamedVan]

lol imagine suggesting that to south africans ...free land to Americans. south africans and zimbaweans would protest bigtime

[@africaine4889]

All Africans will not like that

@@Kenganda I would love you to get some land in South Africa oshaaay. But I'm afraid of the others who won't.

[@koreyp2845]

lol But they dont protest the whites that own 95% of the land arleady down in South Africa although they are only 5% of the South African Population. They dont even have the protest energy for the colonizers already there!

No free land… Access to free citizenship and support services yes.

[@moweems5802]

Yes. And as part of reparations, the U.S. government should buy that land from African countries and help black newly arrived expats to develop that land. And don't forget a check for at least $350K to each new arrival to keep us afloat to thrive and help Africa grow.

[@BonsuBigWhale]

They can atte!or to do so in those and where freehold title is available to foreigners. Perhaps South Afrika. There is no country in West Afrika that has such title available to foreigners or entities.

[@kaboyodaniel3630]

Agaba shared a brilliant idea about gazetting land and inviting some rich black people to build model cities. This video sparked some new brilliant ideas but you also gotta be careful as I noticed alot of drama coming through from West Africa. It could have been the inidviduals that were handling it weren't well equiped so I would suggest keenly looking into anyone who might be interested.

[@GgBrooke]

The rich black people at that level are not moving to Africa, in the same way that the vast majority of Africans migrating to the West are not rich.

[@OpinionatedNomad]

@@GgBrookeajority of African immigrants are not intending to stay overseas for ever. Also we don’t really have old money as wealthy is in form of land not like in the west. Majority of Africans that are overseas might seem poor to you viewed in western lenses but we are actually not as poor as you think 😂. Most of us were middle class and some upper class and I can tell you most of us were not living on the fringes of society. The USA 🇺🇸 immigrants including Africans that were enslaved and Europeans in the early days up to today was not developed because they got the richest immigrants either 😂😂

[@GgBrooke]

@@OpinionatedNomad you missed my point to the original comment, it insinuated that free land should be given to rich AAs to build model cities in Africa. My point: the average AA is not doing that in America, only the ultra wealthy are and if the average AA isn't doing that in America why should we expect that just because they are coming to Africa they will be qualified to do that? As for successful African immigrants in America, I am one of them so I understand well. What I was saying was that world over, the wealthiest in society rarely move to start from scratch but that doesn't mean that they will remain "poor".
