I don't know even if I have to introduce myself because I love telling people that I'm the one and only I know your village boy from Ghana but since you know my name is Wotamaya already I don't think I don't need further introduction Legendary Wotamaya Mr. Ghana baby Mr. Ghana baby Wow, you know the food man Yes, yeah What brought you to Rwanda? Honestly Something wanting something different. I always wanted to live abroad and Last year presented the best opportunity to make that happen and I was actually happened I actually saw a video by a youtuber named Wotamaya Who was here in the Rwanda? Oh wow and seeing that video definitely inspired me to Come here because I know you were looking at wanting to relocate to Ghana. Oh, you wanted to go to Ghana She was looking at relocating to Ghana I was looking at Ghana and Tanzania and Rwanda and then I saw you here doing a video and See, I want to say something. Yeah, you said you wanted to go abroad Yeah, see when it comes to Africans Africa is not abroad for us to the standard an African living in Ghana I don't even want to like, okay. Why would I if I want to go abroad? Why should Rwanda come in mind, right? We chose Africa. Yes, I saw abroad. Yes, Africans don't want to choose Africa as abroad You know, I want to tell you something your inspiration to so many Africans living on the continent not Africans even abroad right It's a pleasure to meet you. I was so inspired on a metro yesterday trust I think I will post it on Instagram today Thanks for taking that step because I should be out of Rwanda this morning But because of you have to be here so that you be able to inspire so many young Africans living in Africa and living abroad First of all, I want to know yet before moving to Africa, right? What was your perception that you have for the continent before coming? I had an excellent perception because my mother she had gone to Ghana back in the early 1990s So she really taught me a lot about Africa in Ghana from a young age So I didn't have that the normal perception that most black Americans have of Africa What is that no more perception that black Americans have about it's backwards. It's it's it's Africans are dumb. They're starving wild Untamed wild right not not civilized Just it's just all negativity. That's not true, right? It's not true, and I never believed it was true Even as a child. I never believed it. I never because I said if I am from this country this this Continent and I'm not like that My family's not like that. How is it that I'm not like that? But everybody in Africa is so I never believed I knew they were lying to me I knew as a child that it was a lie, and I came to find out for myself Went to Ghana in the 90s I had a pen pal at 15 years old and you wrote until I was 20 something and I lost contact with him Oh, and I found him 20 years afterwards, and I said it's meant for me to go So I came to Ghana and loved it. I Was at home Soon as I got the plane I was like why why do I feel like I've been here before? Oh, I felt like I had been in Ghana all my life. I felt at home. I felt relaxed I felt at peace. I've never felt that in the United States Not like I felt here. I'm like I'm at home I remember being in the plane and crossing over and I went I'm at home on the plane I'm home, and I just loved it every since I went back and told people you know like that to Ghana Everybody looks like people, you know in the United States. I'm like my uncle There's my grandmother, you know overseeing people you have Feelings like spiritual feelings that you go to certain places and see people And you just feel something and I looked around and these people look like my grandmother That's been there since I was seven So I knew I was home and when I go back to the United States It's like I'm like this intense. I'm always on guard How long did they stay in Ghana the first time six weeks and you went back again? I went the next year for a couple of weeks Haven't been back since I just Until I came here. I knew I had to get out of America. I knew that I was like, I'm not safe here I'm not home. I'm not wanted there. I Knew that and I want I need to go where I'm from And I was just getting Building spiritual feelings. I knew we're saying yeah Yeah, it's not for you, but people like it and want to stay stay That's some people can live on the cage and feel comfortable. I don't It's like you put an animal in the cage. It's all they know you let them out. They'll just stay there. They won't move I Need to be free It's beautiful And I could talk about it forever The experience has been like I can't words cannot describe like the experience the people are absolutely beautiful like my mother was saying Very very hard-working. I've never seen a more hard-working people and I know it's not just limited to here in Vranda But I know it just in Africa in general You know in America we say that the Mexicans are the hardest-working people and with all due respect, you know to the Mexican You know community. I've never seen work done Like I've seen here before like This home if you see What the sort of materials and resources was used to even build this structure? You would be surprised that they came out with this result Because they do so much with so little and they don't complain and a very hard-working and it really inspired me So if I love it, it was like you're prepared so much before moving to Rwanda No Not really. I didn't make the decision until last year after seeing your video. I was at home During the lockdown. I was on furlough from my job. I wasn't working so just going through YouTube videos and I came across your video and The rest is history like I've never had a feeling in a moment like that because this country really reminds me of my home city in Oakland the hills is a Area of open Hills skyline Boulevard Mountain Mountain Boulevard It reminds me that it was like nostalgia. So like wow, I wonder where could I go? Where else could I go that would remind me of that but won't have that I won't have that same Feeling of being unwanted in America and Rwanda kind of did that for me. Is this safe in Rwanda? It's extremely safe from Rwanda. Women can walk by themselves outside at night. You don't have to do like this You don't have to carry a gun like you do in America and I shouldn't say this on camera But I'm going to the ATM many times at night at night beyond 9 p.m Coming with wads of money in my pocket and I've never even Had to worry about Watching over my back and I would never have been there. I did a video in Rwanda saying that Kikali's the key necessary in Africa It's extreme. Yeah, it's true. I was just lying to the people. I haven't been to other countries, but it's extremely clean It's extremely cleaner than America. Yeah, it's extremely. It's cleaner than America And I see no mama's people You can't trouble yeah, but so far so good You've been here for two months two months. What are you doing here at the moment? So right now I partnered with a local Rondon who I met prior to coming his name is Ben and we are starting a Video production company YouTube group and baby YouTube channel I should say and what we're going to do is merge the African community with the African American community And because I noticed a lot of you know people they come here that kind of They kind of stick to their community.
