Moved from the USA to Ghana,the ordinary Ghanaian doesnt know the freedom they have until they leave

In this powerful episode of the Diaspora Podcast, we dive deep into the experiences of African diasporans who have relocated to Ghana and other parts of Africa. Our guests, including Moonboy , Francis kway, and Emmanuel Tokumbo Darko, share their journeys, discussing the stark contrasts between life in the West and Africa.
They explore topics like the hidden freedoms in Ghana, the vibrant cultural identity that many in the diaspora are rediscovering, and the unexpected challenges of living in Western societies. From stories of feeling trapped by the rigid systems of the West to the sense of peace and community found in Ghana, this conversation sheds light on why many are choosing to return to their roots.
Whether you're curious about African spirituality, the appeal of Accra, or the unique challenges faced by African-Americans in the West, this episode is packed with insights that will leave you thinking long after it's over. Join us as we uncover the untold stories of those reclaiming their heritage and redefining what it means to be African in the 21st century.

Please next time make sure the microphones are working properly😢

I am so proud of these new generations guys! 🤴🏾🤴🏾🤴🏾🤴🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✍🏾🌱🌱🌱

[@cheryljoseph4090]

Thank you guys for sharing. I really enjoyed this however, please be careful of trying to separate us as Black people. As a Caribbean African, most of what we know today is due in a large part to social media. Let’s leave the past behind and try to move forward as Black people. We have to stand together as one be careful Don’t let your words separate us. This is what they are looking for,,separation.

I loved this video so much. I have sent it to all of my brothers, sons, auntie and Facebook. Truly this was good to see intelligent men speaking from the heart with respect and speaking from a place of experience. Your interviewing skills are top notch. I remember when you first started. Much love to all of you. I am an A.A. mother who is building a home in Ghana and trying desperately to influence as many of my family members as I can to go home to Africa. I hope they will use my home as a landing place. 🥰 My son needs to keep seeing positive black men he can relate to, so please keep up the good work. We need to instill confidence and pride in our youth and take the poison of the west out of them. The west has filled our black men with such insecurity that they over compensate in the worst ways.

Host, Pls remember to give yoyr guest MICROPHONE when they are talking. ... Good video without Audio doesnt work .

[@MorpheusMind]

Great conversation , thanks *

[@CreativepreneurJourney]

It is interesting 🧐 to hear 👂 from 3 different men.

[@dadoboye1536]

Hayford…I’m very disappointed in you. You’re a professional and by now you should know that you check the mics before interviews. I turned it off because I couldn’t hear a thing about possibly an excellent discussion.

[@LionessSu]

If viewers helped contribute sure Hayford would have excellent equipment. Ghana equipment isn't cheap and difficult to come by,....not like the West. This should encourage viewers to assist instead of criticism. His work has helped so many get so much value.. Maybe annoying when audio not clear but rather he upload poor quality than not at all. Equipment isn't cheap and has hitches

[@WebnationAfrica]

You can donate some mics so you don’t get disappointed anymore ☺️, anyways we apologize for the inconvenience, we will make sure we improve, thanks 🙏🏿

[@SparkleDiamond-tu6od]

​@@LionessSu No excuse bro ,.Not Everyone can afford to assist him , But if he wants help & he asks he will get. But there will always be cheaper mics he could have purchased at least 4 , than 1 expensive one . Also, Amazon & getting someone to send your product through shipping.

[@dadoboye1536]

@@LionessSu ridiculous response! Are you saying Hayford cannot afford a simple mic? Why is he on KZbin then? I’m guessing he just didn’t check the equipment he has before this interview. I’ve watched many of his interviews and the sound was clear and loud enough.

[@rosemumbua8817]

I stopped watching his videos coz his Mic system is bad.

[@myrtlesamuel3904]

Has anyone else had a problem ? I heard them loud and clear from start to finish , I don’t think there was a problem with his mic , could have been from your end !

[@mavisburke495]

Not the middle guy he needed a microphone.

[@GUYANAECHO]

This was good reasoning! They've all touched on interesting topics and made their points clear ...To be determined and able to open your mind to reject any form of indoctrination, is the first step to mental freedom!!! 💥💥💥

Ghanaians are Ghanaians and Nigerians are Nigerians we are not versions of each other. Let’s stop the comparisons.

[@nnekaruizmontalvo6573]

Can you have another interview with the guy in the white t shirt? It's a shame that we weren't able to hear what he had to say because of the microphone he was given.

[@Jerry-qg7ws]

I knew the brother in blue was from Nigeria right away. He looks alot like Nigerian soccer/football player Joe Aribo

[@tinaking3995]

This is a great conversation but the religious segment is a little misplaced. Going to heaven is not based on any religion, instead, it is a belief, a trust in the Savior, Jesus Christ. God is Spirit, not white or black, and those who worship Him should worship in spirit and truth. 🙏

[@design401]

I disagree that we don’t know where we are from…. Many of us do take the DNA test available… The best one for finding your tribe is called African Ancestry…. It’s traces your maternal and paternal lineage… My test came back with many tribes from my Maternal line. I claim being Fula…Since they are nomadic….. I also got and Temne in Sierra Leone Kru in Liberia Mandinka… in Senegal … We are not a monolith. We are seen as a group but do our own individual thing. Also, slavery was a brutal and horrific experience for my ancestors. Sure we do still suffer from many maladies because of it.

[@dadoboye1536]

It’s best to see yourself West African rather than tribe or country. Many groups and tribes split up escaping slavery capture. Until all sub tribes in West Africa are tested and added to the DNA sampling, large tribes would dominate test results, which may be erroneous. Example being the presence of Nigeria in almost every DNA test. This is clearly population and group skew rather than saying of all groups in West Africa tested, your tribe or country is Nigeria.

[@design401]

@@dadoboye1536 Not this test….They have a huge data base of African DNA and they can tell you exactly what present day people you belong to. It’s not the autosomal test… They test your mtDNA ….. which only comes from mothers . All of your maternal lineage back 500-2000 years ago. Many people know exactly where their ancestor that was brought over came from . I happen to match with people in 4 different countries…..

[@design401]

@@dadoboye1536 Also many people say I look exactly like the Fulani people….

[@fabriceassima4094]

I heard the whole interview they didn't say that, vandross said that due to programming and the gateway of white media always portraying Africa negatively, there is no interest for African Americans to know much about Africa...it is lame to be called African but things are changing now due to social media and afrobeat music

[@mavisburke495]

There have been Phrases to consciousness among Blacks in the west. Look at Black Americans of the 1960,70s then what YOU see now is due to social media WAS happening BEFORE social media then .. Do the research about the Black consciousness movement of the past. Remember Black Americans were greatly involved against Apartheid, war or conflicts in Africa there were NO social media then..

[@mavisburke495]

Former Enslaved people donot know specifically where they come from, what was there language, and original gods because that was a FORCED situation WE donot know tribal prejudices, ALL who share out ancestors and PLIGHT is our concern. Its annoying the Africans knows their lineage But most DONOT valued it, and are CHOOSING not to follow their traditions, speaks their languages ect. EVERYTHING western appeal to them and mimick by them , which situation is MORE problematic generationally?

[@Lori-db8vl]

I can understand the need to pump yourlselves up, but some actual data would have been nicen in this discussion. 1. Poverty among African immigrants is higher than that of all Americans. 2. Also, African households with higher wealth is a result of several earners in the household. Black Americans tend not to live with extended family, and many families with kids are headed by single parents. 3. Black Americans don't lack confidence -- we know where we're from. We're Americans . 4. You cannot compare a whole population of people - the rich, poor, motivated, lazy, criminal, law-abiding, educated, uneducated, to a select motivated group of immigrants. The comparison should be to other immigrant populations such as the Asians, the Indians, immigrant whites, Hispanics. How do Africans measure up compared to them? Black Americans are not immigrants. 5. If you decide to compare Black Americans to Africans, the comparison should be to the motivated Black Americans. 6. At least 2 of the panelists are not exactly success. 1 has a history of being incarcerated, has a child out of wedlock and applied for welfare, and the other went to college on a athlete scholarship - which he lost. Scholarships are usually lost due to poor grades and/or failure to live up to the requirements of the scholarship. Why were none of these facts and issues addressed in the video??? This type of disingenuous reporting of Black Amerucans just helps to further solidify the wedge between Black Americans and Africans. Africans will present a false image of themselves and Black Americans to, I suppose make themselves feel better. We see it all the time. 🤷‍♀️

[@ronalddumfeh6920]

Great points. I'm a 2nd generation Ghanaian Canadian. Are my kids now Canadians? Yes, you may be an American but what's your heritage. Blacks are the only race that identify themselves based on their country of birth. I'm sure the Chinese and Indians who were born in the states still classify themselves as Chinese/Indians. American is not an ethnicity, it's only for one who resides.

[@Lori-db8vl]

@ronalddumfeh6920 What does how others define themselves have to do with how I choose to define myself??? I am Black American - deal with it!

[@ronalddumfeh6920]

@@Lori-db8vl you can be anything you want to be dear. Just saying being American is not an ethnicity but rather just a place of one's birthplace.

[@Lori-db8vl]

@ronalddumfeh6920 When we see a Black American, don't we already know their ancestors were from Africa? Yes. When we see white Americans, don't we already know their ancestors are from Europe. My ancestors were part of the enslaved in America. My ancestry in the US likely goes back much further than the average white American you see, yet rarely do they refer to themselves as European American. I am Black American.

[@couproduc]

@@ronalddumfeh6920We are definitely an Ethnicity in the Modern Sense. Nigeria as a Country is only 70 years old where the United States is 300 years old. Benin Empire, Dahomey, Oyo were also New Kingdoms that came to an end but they had their Ethnic foundations that would change and morph into something Modern like being Nigerian of Today. The Inventions and culture that Black America is responsible for went all over the World. Afrobeat, Afrobeats, HipLife, and all music Genres stems from Black American Gospel and R&B
