She's such an incredible woman

[@peekplan4633]

This lady has the capacity to be the president of a united or one Africa.

[@CharlesMSmithToday]

This Woman is a Global Treasure!!! ❤

[@ChristiWarner]

Love her! She speaks for the voiceless ❤

[@MoAfrika-Afrika]

What a thought provoking interview. 28:21 Our biggest problem is that Africans are not coordinated, our leaders would hardly agree on one thing. We need to work together to remove the Western influence from Africa!

[@beatricebradford2633]

This professor is important for us when we decide to unify as a people . Solidarity!. Instead of us as a people attacking each other, we should find our unity and stand together ❤️ because divide and conquer is the norm in Black Americans and Africans. Put money building unity like Jews, Germans and others. Prayers for protection and health.

[@munhumutapa1330]

This woman is one in a million. You cannot silence a good person

[@gibson2675]

Hopefully the next President of Zimbabwe

[@rykson161]

France don’t dare touch her ! France is in the spotlight ! And the light is not good for a vampire !

[@rykson161]

I hope you are speaking figuratively! Look at what was done to many leaders! Assassinated! Pray and act for her protection

[@ellisonmusara6572]

Trevor this was powerful. it is not just the energy she radiates, it is also the conviction and the inscrutable sense of identity that she exudes throughout. thank you for allowing her to unfold!!!

[@Joo-go8ks]

Allow? 😳 I don't think he had much of a choice. 😂

[@sifisosithole7656]

Thank you Trevor. This sister of ours is phenomenal indeed. She is a moving library. Some of what she says is indeed painful but it is reality. Fascinating and a resource. Poeerful woman. May God continue to protect, guide and bless her for us. ❤

[@leemanchabata5531]

Thank you Trevor we need more of these pan African conversation. Really inspiring and fascinating. Try also Joshua Maponga iii and Prof. PLO Lumumba. Once again thank you and may God bless you for doing such a wonderful work. 🥂

[@simbamangz9889]

We should be making more noise as Africans about this

[@anendebele6101]

I always say it doesn’t matter who’s in power as long as they deliver.

[@isabelbandason6773]

A "true/real healer", thank u Dr n Trevor for this deep liberating interview. Music to my ears. We all need an anchor/identity.

[@concernedcitizenszimbabwe7807]

Only God heals. Doctors treat not heal.

[@elizabethmugadza9331]

This is so true. Over time we have hated our beautiful country and demonized it. It's time we separated politics and country.

[@kumbiektw]

The real AFRICAN QUEEN!If we all listen to what she is saying,we can understand how evil the coloniser is and what they’re still doing.I respect this woman a lot.We need to come together and defeat these evil people.Thank you for bringing her to the show.

[@zuzemoyo7696]

"We are a wounded people. We need healing". Profound stuff 🙏. We need progressive problem solving skills. Putting our country first. The polarised environment works against us. The Western world divides us ➗ and rules us because we are willing, largely because we are ignorant. We see those with different views as enemies and that is wrong. Arikana is the bundle of energy in all its manifestations and the catalyst for better thinking and way forward at this juncture in our History as Black people globally. Thank you Trevor for the platform and interviews.

[@edithparks1951]

Smart, smart Lady.

[@leonardmhanje8781]

It's African time to take massive action to define our own destiny by ourselves and for ourselves and by our own bechmarks✍️

[@bornfreemoyo3178]

One of my favourite interviews, I wish every young person can watch and learn from this.

[@moussamamadoucoulibaly662]

That was the young man in burkina fasso shout to Dr arikana. Africa loves you, thank you for your determination. We admire you we do love you and we respect you. Keep on keeping on.

[@tafadzwaariberito9357]

This is one of my favourite interviews 🔥🔥

[@Notthelasttime]

Dr Arikana is truly a legend.

[@davisonmutsvedu5777]

Beautiful episode Trevor. I like the passion in this woman. Sure just like the Israelites left Egypt after 400 yrs of bondage. This time is exactly 400yrs since slave trade. Its time we all headed home !

[@HERRUTUTT]

LOVE THIS QUEEN WOMAN ❤

[@drmejurychipato.official]

[@1murkeybadmayn]

From her numerous videos, I've heard of nearly all the stories Dr Ariana tells here before but I've never heard of her personal stories from when she was growing up and schooling...it's so fascinating. I love listening to older people tell about their time. What a lady. Oh and the host was great!

[@nyashab4276]

She is phenomenal! Thank you for this interview Dr and Trevor! So many gems, lessons and painful truths!

[@JoeQuansa]

Thank you 🙏🏿

[@samsonmarikwa2631]

Interesting, liked this show. I really did not understand Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao but this has really opened my eyes. I think she needed someone like you Trevor to really dig inside her and expose the gem. Imagine she was in Zim but she did not have any talk even at the university where her ideas could have been shared. Her views on the opposition politics are spot on. We should know the difference between political party and country. We should belong to the country and political parties should come second. This also applies to the ruling party because some of their decisions have been to put the political party before country. But I still think she is a a bit soft or maybe diplomatic on our African leaders. When you raised xenophobia, she pushed that to young children that they need to be taught but we have seen the manifestation of that evil even at government leadership in South Africa. Being a medical doctor and a woman for that matter, it would have been interesting to hear her thoughts on Dr. Phophi Ramatuba utterances, who happens to be in the ANC leadership. Children like Julius Malema are very much knowledgeable in terms of Pan-Africanism than some leaders across Africa.

[@mampofu1052]

You give a very balanced argument. One thing I've noticed about Pan-Africanists is they seem to understand that the position of the African Presidents are compromised eg when they have to deal with the remaining 20% of our money/resources, as she put it or when they have to consider the consequences like sunctions. Pan Africanists seem to want to deal with the genesis of the problem eg if you listen to most of Madam Arikana's speeches she talks about the berlin conference, colonialism, the brown envelopes etc

[@ruep8732]

im shocked you invited her im actually very pleased to see you having her on "our" platform......she was in my suggestion list for a long time.

[@leonardndlovu7580]

God is great Dr. Chihombori-Quao. He set you up at that medical school and paid your fees. He really had plans for you and has blessed whatever you touch. May He continue blessing you. I believe you have not disappointed Him. May He shower you with more blessings to bless your fellow Africans.

[@MsEmworld]

Great comment. I also believe that God can be right there with you (but you not being aware of his presence) then there comes a point when it becomes necessary to be aware of him so as to walk with him, being fully aware of what he "groomed" you to be for his glory.

[@libertysingende3326]

Trevor you continue to bring great minds in your wonderful program. I take my hat off to Dr. Arikana Chihombori our own mother, Sister daughter etc. All the glory to the Almighty God because indeed our Country Zimbabwe is blessed with great minds for sure. Zimbabweans wherever we are in the world , we are flying the flag of our beautiful country high. I salute you Dr. Chihombori and may God continue using you mightly to fulfill his assignments.

[@proactiveafrica323]

Dr Arikana Chihombori never didsapoint, always spot with truth as it is with real facts on the ground. thank you Dr for educating Trevor Ncube. thank you Trevor

[@kusasaeducation3380]

Thought provoking content Thank you Trevor Thank you ambassador

[@isabelbandason6773]

"Colonial institutional abuse" has done a "thorough job" on how we all got wounded. A wounded people needing healing big time.

[@nyembesibani7968]

that was profound Aunt. you are my hero indeed. Arise Africa!

[@fatumataholloway4897]

Thank you Dr.

[@tsitsigracechidakwa4164]

I really love Arikana I must admit

[@charleswasekiwa6580]

You are a blessing to Zimbabwe and Africa at large!

[@leeroymuchemenyi327]

I have learnt a lot from this interview.

[@curtismcneill7467]

Wow, What an eye opener for me. I have never heard this before!!!

[@samuelmunekani8562]

Munangagwa should consider making her the minister of foreign affairs or health

[@mampofu1052]

I love you mother. You are correct, we should be united. It's such a breath of fresh air to listen to people like Arikana instead of those who push for sunctions etc. It's so frustrating at times.

[@lloydmakunya4720]

Very wonderful conversation indeed with Dr,but also we wish the Dr would engage our President on the looting of our unprocessed resources in turn blooming the Chinese friends as she has been fighting the French.Let’s let the Chinese to build factories in Zim and take out finished products that way we will create industries and employment for Zimbabweans,even the diasporians can have something to come home to not to leave your job as a banker in the diaspora and come keep chickens mmmmmh tt won’t work. Juss thinking out loud. Thank yu Mr Ncube for such an eye opening show.

Thanks Trevor! This was a masterpiece as usual! Really enjoyed it - very informative! Truly above the Headlines and the Sensational! Keep up the Great Work!

[@happydaysmunhuumwe7065]

Very informative and on point interview. Thank you Mr Ncube for bringing such intellects on board.

[@riddellmurandu7179]

The most painful thing about this story is not the French stealing from Africa, or the West abusing Africa, those will always do that as long as the opportunity is there... The most painful thing is that people at AU, the body that should protect and advance the interests of Africa and Africans, felt the need to silence someone exposing the abuses. They told her they didnt expect results and they meant it to the extent that when she started producing results they fired her.

[@Concerned36]

Because the West still controls all the countries. No wonder AU is useless.

[@stevie0323]

Join the ADDI, time to walk what you talk. Join the movement.

[@simonnhunzvi4662]

It was too short. Please we need another episode

[@mavejapikatuuo8419]

This Honorable girl of the Soil and Mia Motley should be given opportunity to educate current African Leadership on what to do without receiving orders from the West. I wish we have at least five or ten leaders in Africa who can think like this Doctor and Mia Motley, Africa would had been a better place. You open a lot of minds of Africans in terms of our resources stolen to develop Europe. Keep on a good thing one day African minds will be decolonised. An oppressed person will not remain oppressed for ever. Cheers!

[@dbapeman0698]

Great story on being at Fisk.

[@SimplySherriJ]

I❤this conversation so much

[@petermura3763]

At one point there I saw Trevor's professionalism come out. I think he really doesn't like African leaders and in most cases is more than delighted to punch down at them while heaping praise on Western ambassadors. In any case I am a fan of this show and happy that it has also opened me up to hear views contrary to mine.

[@playgirl7305]

Second time I hear "men without knees" my great grandfather said that to me as a little girl in the early 1980's, but in Shona "varume vasina mabvi" varikuuya Kumusha in Sanyati so we had to run away. I didn't even know what he was talking about.

[@carmensavage433]

Fantastic Interview. I missed the date for the Pan African Congress.

[@marveloussibanda3117]

Thank you Dr Trevor and Dr Arikana lovely talk. Keep up the good work

[@lionel9972]

Hi Trevor when will we have a questions and answers session because some of these discussions cannot just end there. There is a debate that Pan Africanism works in theory but has failed in practice giving rise to dictators that start off on a good note but end up doing more harm than good to their people. It would be good to pick her brain on some of these things, especially her reference to Kwame, who arguably RGM followed after. Insightful talk nonetheless.

[@brightchako1832]

Thanks Doctor it seems the academic definition of accountability has nothing to do with the African politics BUT European Politics who define accountability of African resources so as to only achieve neo colonial and imperialistic tendencies...thanks to CDE Museveni of Uganda who last week mentioned some of the great historical facts of some of these European motives

[@kudzaibaloyi9887]

Trevor when you highlighted that all African presidents fly to USA to meet one man, you crushed my heart. African leaders are all a huge disappointment. Our politicians are the biggest let down.

[@samuelmunekani8562]

The idea that Hopewell reports his fellow black brother to Americans and Europeans without equally repriminding them of their short comings what a tretor

[@forgofire5583]

He is a traitor, his pockets are lined

[@african365]

I think her villages definition of beautiful is true beauty. I don't wish to offend but she is beautiful.
