How We Earned Ghanaian Citizenship in Our 70s | How African Americans Became Ghanaian Citizens

[@BlairsNGhana]

That's my family!!! Big ups Ekow on a great interview with the Belchers.

[@EkowSimpson]

big ups king, much salute

[@KAPAK108]

My friend, as a pan Africanist why do you still keep this slave name?

[@kimberlymensah5063]

Great interview one thing I want to say is I have not gotten my citizenship yet although my husband is Ghanaian, we are working on it, but I am not upset at those who got it even those who we helped have a soft landing when they moved got their citizenship, and I am so excited. We should rejoice in each other’s successes. It is how God wants it. We cry with those who cry and we rejoice with those who rejoice. This was an amazing interview. I really love this couple and to pray for all the Lord’s best for them.

Very soon you will get it

I enjoyed every min. of this interview. Beautiful couple. Thanks for sharing.

[@EkowSimpson]

thank you so much for taking time to look at this , pls share to ur friends

[@WillieMoore-d6b]

Great Interview, I am also a senior retired black man living in Texas. This gesture from the Ghanaian Government is a good thing. I definitely think it will help improve relations. In our history during the mid-1910’s before Garvey, there was a trader from the Gold Coast called Alfred Sam. He convinced over 500 Black Americans that they could live in freedom on the coast of present-day Ghana if they invest into his business venture by promising them passage and land. He took a few during his first voyage. The remaining 500 whom waited for him had lost most of their savings and possessions as he never returned for them.

[@sistaluv1357]

Great and wonderful conversation. Thanks for sharing.

[@EkowSimpson]

thanks a lot for watching, please share

[@barrypayton2832]

This is so wonderfully beautiful on so many levels. It's truly exceptional to be chosen for Ghanaian citizenship. Brudda Diallo Sumbry has given us personally guidelines of repatriation to Ghana. By the way of ancestors, we will be there soon enough. Respect Brudda Ekow.

[@kwabenajacques4735]

Fantastic interview! Ekow, I could envision a collaboration with this couple on some of the things we are discussing in regards to Wakanda. I’ll add it to the addendum

[@BlackDOPETV-jc6fq]

I can’t wait I hate I missed my chance when will be the next time, please

@@shirleygrant8989 im glad we are getting more of you here to connect with the people

[@haroldjones7013]

This is PanAfricanism at its finest! thanks to Ghana for leading the way ❤ as a Sierra Leonean, i must congraulate my brothers and sisters from the African diaspora, for their knowledge and having the intestinal fortitude, to come back home, to the land of their ancestors.

[@EkowSimpson]

Im glad we have you here. I will visit ur country soon . and thanks for watching my videos

[@niiamu3300]

Well done!

[@IvyProsper]

You're back in Ghana? Would be good to meet when I come to Cape Coast in December

Beautiful couple and congrats!!!

They're so happy staying in Ghana woow❤❤

[@armstrongigenerate]

Africa countries should start giving all diasporas citizenship than allowing Chinese and Lebanese visa to come to the continent

[@haroldjones7013]

Agreed💯%!!!

[@Keys2SOAR]

100% but lawd that learned helplessness can be a challenge to get rid of. A lot of black People around the world they NEED others to make it…they do not trust their own abilities and gifts…shameful! 😢

[@Lemlem7682]

We don't give no citizenship to Chinese or Lebanon or to anyone. You need to be Pacific, which Africans country is doing that because Africa is continent with 54 countries. And I know a lot of African countries don't do that.

[@p_black3219]

When I first saw her, I thought maybe she was related to Ivy Prosper

[@EkowSimpson]

I felt the same.

[@p_black3219]

I'm not seeing their link in the description

[@armstrongigenerate]

All diasporas should be citizens automatically, once you black you African

[@nanacharles8428]

Ghana is planning to pass a law on the right of abode.

[@west7900]

The Belchers

[@DJPrincess212]

Do you know the exact name for their youtube channel? Thanks

[@p_black3219]

Unfortunately, The Oasis is owned by Europeans... but it is a nice spot

[@TheBelchersApprecitiveEye]

The Oasis has been purchased by 5 brothers from the USA

[@p_black3219]

@TheBelchersApprecitiveEye Really... that's great

[@yosefelbeybey7964]

What took so long?

[@EkowSimpson]

for what please ?

[@p_black3219]

Did they get their African Ancestry DNA done

[@nanacharles8428]

No need for DNA in Ghana for citizenship. African Diasporas have a right to apply for citizenship in Ghana.

[@p_black3219]

@nanacharles8428 I understand, because I've been to Ghana 🇬🇭. Speaking English makes it easier to live there and it being a major enslaved port keeps us engaged. But African Ancestry was at this event. That's why I asked.

[@EdnahChirchir]

​@@p_black3219 how was African ancestry at the event? Politely

[@p_black3219]

@@EdnahChirchir how were they there? I don't know. But, Dr. Paige was there. She's the co-founder of African Ancestry

[@TheBelchersAppreciativeE-iu5sd]

Yes, but it's not directly related to Ghana. - The Belcher's Appreciative Eye

[@isaackaggrey-watt]

Ekow please tell them that the Ghanaian passport is no more important since they can travel back to Ghana with their Ghana card.

[@yo-a]

Which Ghana Card? It has been confirmed that it’s not accepted in place of a passport internationally

[@clippessy]

They're dual citizens. So they can travel to the States with their American passport and travel back to Ghana with Ghana card.

[@yo-a]

@@clippessy I don't believe the Ghana card is recognised on its own outside of Ghana, it would need to be presented alongside a passport.

[@clippessy]

@@yo-a Please read my comment again. When you are returning to Ghana from abroad. Ghana card is accepted/legal document at the airport immigration

[@yo-a]

@@clippessy it’s not, I’m talking from direct experience so I don’t ’need to read your comment again’.
