The white host is having too much fun - thinks it's all a joke, laughing and cracking jokes. Look at how the young man and the ambassador are passionate in their speeches. She (the host), must be one of the people who says "I don't see color, only human beings". Sometimes, I wonder if white people have any idea about how slavery and colonialism carried out by their ancestors, has completely destroyed the self image and dignity of a *significant* percentage of Africans. This is why the ambassador talks passionately about whilst the white host laughs and almost trivialises the discussion. She (the host) just doesn't get the gravity and urgency of the situation.

And yet, what is the converse for African businessmen and women attempting to access capital in these western countries? Never equal footing or access! These African leaders need to demand the same stringent over-the-top requirements to become citizens of African countries! The same with land ownership, value-addition ( demand them to train and hire so many locals, like affirmative action policies work here) and re-invest in the places they're stripping raw minerals/ commodities. They are not and have never been superior or smarter than us and need to be held to the same standards. If you, Mr Niang can train young people to internalize this, and become leaders with spines to stand up to western superiority, the battle is more than half done. God bless and protect you as you continue your priceless work!!!!

In America my day they gave us young people classes on learning skills like auto repair classes, wood shop, cooking, and sowing classes for kids who may not go to college. Agriculture classes learning how to grow food.

I love what that young man is about. He's the African that "gets it", like the Ambassador said. People like the Ambassador and that young man need to be multiplied. The information shared by the white gentleman was very sobering, made me sad as well as mad.

Africa is shaped like a question mark Africans have the answers thank God for what’s coming 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥰

Afrika is shaped like the human skull, as was pointed out by our Ancestors, because Afrika is the 'head' of the world. They considered the 'head' (also called 'ori' in Yoruba) as the seat of spirituality. Same as the Third Eye (pineal gland), which is located in the center of the 'head'.

Gotta be able to cross boarders freely. Being land locked not cool. Free the continent keep the liberation movement going.

Our new and innovative race is now active, Gold Race formally known as black people. Control your thoughts. Nothing can be said or done to change what is about to happen. Great vibes family peace.

Now I understand why we African Americans are still here in the land of our captivity. Because we are not ready to leave our comforts of this rich countries we are now living in. We African Americans know how to do many of the skills in America.

When one says We are 50 years behind, what does that really mean?? Are We behind due to time or right actions?? Brother is making very relevant points....

This is for the people in this post, with little faith, these African leaders on this panel are the perfect example of the scriptures in the Bible. We don't need to hide our faces like Esau does, the most high Yah wants us who are leaders and teachers who speak Truth to show our faces. Let's Not forget about what David in the Bible said (Psalms 23:4 ) Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I Will Fear No Evil; For You are with me; Your Rod and Staff, they comfort me. We must be fearless, so the most high Yah can show the world his POWER!!! Haliluyah 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

This was really great eventhough I was late to the party sort to say but it was sad not hear anything about protecting our spirituality much better going on forward

Dr. Arikana is a great African but i assure that she has woken up our curiosity. Leadership is about taking the Risk to do what others are not willing to do, it is not about age, size or experience. It is the willingness to change the status Quo and confronting the stumbling blocks.⁶
