As a Jamaican/Ghana, my mom Dad was born on Wednesday so when we came to Ghana, they called him Kwaku, my mom also born on Sunday her name is Asi Serwaa, I'm Kwasi, because I was also born on Sunday. My wife also is a Ghanaian. We are building 54 apartment in Aburi for renting. I'm very of Mama Africa

It is so great to see Houston's Mayor (a leader of America's 4th largest city) lead this delegation to connect with not only our roots but acknowledging West Africa and its countires, as emerging economies with vast wealth and culture. Africa is the future and it is our homeland. It's always been "great", but it's nice to see the world is waking up to this fact.

Kenya should also have a year of return and offer an automatic blanket citizenship to all black people of Afrikan ancestry who are all over the globe. Am very sure the decision will bring reprieve to our diaspora brothers and sisters. No need to wait on a manipulated Afrikan union.

[@nicholasamoah447]

Many have commented on the mayor of Houston's visit in the capacity of the office he holds. Now while the sentiment is undoubtedly true. When one takes a back seat and appreciates the footage once again, one perceives the honourable mayor's reflections during the course of the entire odesay, one cannot fail to see the mayor, foremost as an individual, an African American, who is soberly reflecting and deeply appreciating the grave sacrifice of his ancestors. Now in the passage of a proverb, when one's head is on the pillow, one takes time in one's own contemplations, and reflections.. Thus the visit would resonate more deeply if the mayor had spent perhaps a night there in a tourism hotel infrastructure near to the site. I envision a future development of tourism infrastructure which could flank the immediate visinity of the slave dungeon site with a hotel infrastructure and perhaps an ancestral village depicting the dignified life and living experience of the African before their unfortunate and irreversible ordeal as captured slaves whose hope of ever seeing their families or homes were dashed
