 Good morning. It's day two in Minick and I'm heading to the conference center But I just want to say something. Yeah in Ghana So many of us flex with our BMW, our Benz, you know But here it's more like Benz is more like a taxi. Come on, can you believe it? I think maybe it's because these cars are made here. So basically that's why Yeah, so we're just hoping to see Kantanka being a taxi very soon or innocent motorist being a taxi I don't know. It should be one of our luxury vehicles that we turn it into Taxis or whatsoever Yeah, it's rather unfortunate that the president did not show up yesterday. So yeah Come along with me Going there today. Let's see what happens. It's more like a vlog day So, yeah, let's go As one of the four hosts of this year's MSC YouTube studio It was a great honor to interview the former president of Ghana. Well, I was president of Ghana and so I was a member of the AU authority of African heads of states. We prepared the Protocol for visa-free travel in Africa. We're going to pass it in Kigali At the last minute, there were objections from I remember South Africa But there were two or three countries that objected and said we should delay it until much later Now, you know what I did? I came back to Ghana and I said, well, if the other countries won't pass it We'll pass it in Ghana. And so I allowed Visa-free Travel to for all African passport. You can apply for your visa at the airport the minister for agriculture of Germany My problem is the fact that Ukraine and Russia produces all in a sports week to Africa, but Africa got The world 60% arable land. So I'm just trying to understand. Why can't we feed ourselves by the way? That's a good question You have to ask not only me as a minister for agriculture in Germany also some of the governments in Africa Yeah, and of course also some of the politicians that had Responsibility and our side because for a long time The idea was we export grain to Africa to feed Africa, but Africa could feed itself If we just give local farmers back the power if we just remember what used to be produced There was much more, you know Resilience to the climate crisis using less water than grain from Germany But on our side the problem is that many people in Germany and in Europe think The solution is exports Which sometimes leads to a situation that local farmers in Africa produce more expensive Then our sometimes subsidized products that we export to Africa So we destroy your local markets then when some people in Africa try to come to Europe as refugees We tell them we don't want you. So there's a Cycle that we have to stop that we have to end but to be fair. We also have to add to that Rule of law fight against corruption Finally the minister of special affairs Wolfgang Smith I'm from Ghana the first time I heard that I'm gonna speak to Wolfgang and I'm like what kind of gang is that? Are you part of any gang? Fortunately not and it's kind of an old-fashioned German name and my surname is Schmidt, which is even worse So the combination of Wolfgang Schmidt if you Google me you'll find like thousands of me I love the fact that Germany has officially acknowledged the genocide that Happened in Namibia and I just want to take an opinion on this I mean Germany offers to pay 1.2 billion for repatriation In Namibia, what do you think about that and it's going to take like 30 years? Why not now? Because I think Awareness grew over the last years when I was in Hamburg we started a project because Hamburg has a sister city ship with Dar Salaam in Tanzania and People realized because there is some sculptures of the so-called caries that were supporting African troops The turn of the century and There's a bad history of German colonialism short But not something we should be proud of and you see the Traces of colonialism, especially in the in a trading hub like Hamburg everywhere be it names of streets be it Exhibition items in our museums and so there was a growing awareness that it's not okay And that we should enter into our dialogue and the beauty of that sister city ship is that we could work with the for example University of Dar Salaam and had an historian doing his PhD on the perception of the colonial past of Africa or in this case of Tanzania in Hamburg and a Hamburg Student doing it in about the perception in Tanzania and then with an incredible professor at the University of Hamburg we created a Research Center for colonial past and so that kicked this debate and now people obviously started to say okay We need to do something to kind of repay What we did and the damage we did It's gonna take 30 years. Yeah, that's sometimes how it is and and even for a rich country like Germany It's not so easy to mobilize a billion euros, but I won't I really want to know how Does Germany intend to pay this money within doesn't mean that every year you're gonna give them this amount of money No, I mean and it's not it's not only that kind of activity. No, you know We are I think number two when it comes to official development assistance and Africa is the main country that receives that Assistance out of the German budget And so that is in addition To all these official development assistance what we are doing, but there's a lot of stuff that is also on the cultural level Acknowledging what has been stolen. So Giving items back to museums. I think that is part of that kind of recognition Of the wrong that Germany did Right after this it was time to go back to Ghana Whatever has a beginning has an end the time has come to an end to head back to Ghana. So, yeah Basically nothing is happening. It's five o'clock. I have to rush to the airport Even though my flight is nine o'clock whatever I travel to a place that I don't know I always make sure I go to the airport early Learn this from me and you'll never ever miss your flight. So come along Let's go to Ghana. If anything happens along the way, I will just let you know. So, yeah When you go to a new country, if you don't know about the country, you will spend more money on Transportation. So one of the reason why I really want to oh my god, I'm out of right place Geez I'm lost. You spend more money on transportation, right? So I Was like, let me wake up so early and then Try the cheapest way to get to the airport because going to the airport They said it's 35 minutes. If I use the taxi problem, I'm gonna spend a hundred Oh my god, no one is here. I'll spend a hundred euros, but if I use a If I use the subway, I know that I'm gonna spend almost just 15, but yo There's a lot of traffic because no one is here And I don't know what I'm doing, but I Will try and do something Well, let me get my ticket Riving get a ticket. This is in German. No one is here to even help you. Whoo. Whoo. Whoo Okay I see someone Hi one minute Can he help me get a ticket to the airport? I don't know Hi, so this can you help me get a ticket to the airport? Oh my god No one wants to help and okay one two three. Let me Man, it's it's in German.

It was like teaching here is man. So instead of using hundred years to go to The airport. I'll use teaching heroes to go to the airport. It's the same thing same time. So come along Let's go. I need to look for the exact number that I'm supposed to take to the airport so Looking for the exact number I need to take to the airport because that there are different trains, right? So you need to look for a particular train that Goes to where you're going because I know this things because I've lived in China before that's why I'm just want to Give it a try and see and the German transportation system how it's like so I Don't know if you guys can see the notification board the s8 I don't understand the slogan have fun that I see an airport rider Which comes in the next 10 minutes and it's gonna be like s8. So Yeah, I think I'm on the right place I'm at the right place, so let me just hang around You see it's You'll get so confused when you see so many trains you might end up I'm train a wrong train. So I think you need to check S1 S3 X7 X6 S2 whatever x8 My train arrives in 10 minutes. So I'm just need to Be here sit down Wait for s8 that goes directly to the airport man Which means a new train comes in every 20 minutes To the other side Wow, this is to the airport. Oh My god That's a Opening. Oh my god, okay Yeah, eight. Oh my god. I entered a wrong train man. I thought I saw an s8 I have to sit here for 20 more minutes. So it's six o'clock So I have to be at the airport by seven so I still have time so It's gonna take 35 minutes to get to the airport, but I still have 20 minutes to waste Because it's so cold and I don't know why Learn from your mistake and do better next time.
