 festive season of you guys are enjoying your Christmas holidays just like I am enjoying nothing really serious just spending time with a family I don't know if you guys watch my previous video when I said that I'm going to go spend Christmas with my mom and also a new year with Trudy's dad. I think I need to go see my mom every Christmas that's what I always do but this time around I think I'll go see my mom for a few days and fly to Kenya to also go see my father-in-law it is what it is man I'm now a married man so the way I used to do things needs to change right so few days with my mom few days with Trudy's dad and yeah I'm a man of my words and no matter what happens I really need to make it happen so guess what happened I'll be traveling to Europe in January for a meeting so I have to submit my passport once again why do I feel like I need an extra passport you guys should let me know how do I get another passport because having one passport inconvenience me a lot and I don't know how to get an extra passport I'm thinking about getting a KM passport or maybe getting another African country passport just let me know what you guys think man even if I have to get an extra passport or a second passport which country do you think I need to get a passport from so yeah I submitted my passport and I got the visa yesterday so I got a visa yesterday which means that I couldn't be able to travel with Trudy yesterday because Trudy left the country yesterday we were supposed to go together but because of my passport I had to stay behind so I got my passport yesterday hi I got my passport yesterday and I felt like you know what I need to surprise Trudy because according to the conversation that we had she knows that I cannot make it so I just told her that you know what just go and see your dad and then yeah in future when time permits and everything is right I will fly in and we'll go together someday but then when I got my passport I felt like okay I have three days remaining why not just go to Kenya for three days go and see Trudy's dad spend time with your family I mean this is what marriage does to you right I feel like being a family man you need to respect both your family and your wife's family so basically this is what I'm doing at the moment I need to tell them something I'm just telling them that I'm on my way to Kenya to surprise my wife and the family you're always surprising your wife and family it's like you know that thank you all the best man it's a vanilla we all the same alright I'll see you then it's like the whole airport are my YouTube audience man it's super crazy but before I continue this video I want to say a big shout out to Ghana immigration for the love and support they always show me anytime I check it you know like you cannot record videos while they are wearing their uniforms so that's one of the reason why you've never seen them on camera but almost every one of them gives me maximum respect and I feel like respect is reciprocal I always show them respect but I feel like I should show them appreciation on this YouTube channel so if an immigration officer if you say this video this video is dedicated to you all thank you come along let's go to Kenya to get I can't believe that I finally landed in Daru Vikelia and listen I got the best warm walk up ever I mean the first time that I came to Kenya you know you guys know my story with Kenya but this time around when I landed the immigration officer was like what a Maya our online in love walk home home and I was the most beautiful thing that I've ever had in a very long time I just want to tell every Kenyan out there yeah we're West Africans but don't judge us because of our passport we just like you man I mean for the first time coming to Kenya and getting a warm welcome nobody's profiling me because I have a West African passport it seems like all of them know me right now so yeah I mean it is what it is I guess I guess I put them wrong yeah I put them wrong that hey I'm West African but I'm a good guy so yeah

Don't forget to put God first in everything that you do. And yeah, always go for your heart desires. Work hard. And you definitely achieve whatever you want to achieve. I love you all. Thank you so much for the love that you guys have shown me. All these past years, especially in 2022, the struggles has been real. But we made it. You and I. I want to tell my fellow brothers and sisters from West Africa, it's time to do the right thing. I mean, fraud is affecting all of us. I mean, even though you're doing this for a personal gain, but don't forget that those of us from the same region are paying for your actions. I've been to so many countries that I've been detained, arrested, deported because I carried a green passport. I cannot access paper because I'm from West Africa. This is how it is, man. So know that it's time for you to do the right thing. Whatever you're doing, we are paying for it. Like I have to spend more money to get a ticket just because fraud is rampant in this region. You know what's happening right now? I just had an emergency trip to go to Kenya today. I've been trying to book a ticket since last night and it's not working. And it's not like it's not working. You can book the ticket alright, but you cannot pay for it. You know why? I've been calling the airline for the past. I mean, since yesterday, they are telling me that you cannot pay card unless you come to the office because I think fraud in West Africa is getting out of hand. So because of fraud, they have to inconvenience everyone. I think the airline can do better with this one because I just rushed to the airport. Now I came here, they're saying that all my two bookings are cancelled. So apparently I need to spend more money to buy a ticket which is not supposed to be so. So now I'm supposed to pay a charge of $100 to the amount that I was supposed to pay previously. I don't think this is supposed to happen, by the way. But I think something needs to be done in terms of... If fraud is happening, you need to find a way to solve it, but not to inconvenience everyone. Just like this. This is not cool, man. I mean, when you travel to different African countries, you get profiled just because you're coming from West Africa. It's time for us to change our ways. It's time for us to do the right thing. You know, we can't be judged just because of one man's action. Enough is enough. It's a surprise. You too, man. Wait till you guys grab this, too. Shut up. Shut up. Chicken in the back. Since 2018, you're like my brother. You've changed my life since I met you. The only have you changed me, but the whole African diaspora you've inspired. So many of us as content creators, you are the goat. My brother Kevin... My brother Kevin Sim just passed and I was able to tell him that. I want to tell you, I love you. I love your wife. I thank you for what you've done for me, what you've done for the whole community. And you're really my brother. And my brother Raymond Kahuma, you might not recognize him, but you see him on TikTok, I'm pretty sure. I don't know if you are. You've seen one video of mine. I'm not on TikTok. I'm going to take you off. They call the bus. For 17 hours, 17 hours to give you something. Give me something? By the way, high security. I want to tell you guys. Most of you guys do this. Wow. Yeah. Just like that? Yeah, yeah. Okay, so... Oh, let me do my speech now. Okay, so I know you already crossed a million subscribers on YouTube, right? And I watched that video and it was so touching, but this is Christian and I walk with him. We were thinking that you know, YouTube does play buttons for when you cross 50 million, 100 million, they make a custom one. Yeah, yeah. Right? And like... Cross one million subscribers in Africa on YouTube. It's way harder than it looks. It's not really like everywhere else. You cross like 100 million when you cross 100 million. It's insane. So like, I thought to myself, we need to make him a custom award. Whoa. Right? But you live in Ghana and like, we kind of afford to come there to Ghana. So I was talking to a chair and he told me that you might be here two days ago. Yeah. So him and I were like, fuck. So we had three days. We were like, okay, we're going to try and make something for him. Whatever comes out of it, we're going to make sure we get on the bus and deliver it to him. Wow. I think now you sound so familiar. I've watched a video of yours. Yes. I don't know. No, I've watched a video. You have a YouTube channel? Yes. Good. You did a video about like, is it Africa or something? Like, you tried to compete with Mr. Beast in Africa or something? That's the guy. You see? Yeah. Nah, that's the guy. That's the guy. I'm dead, bro. I'm just like, I've heard this voice before, but I don't know where. So I need to just, it was like last year, December or something like that. Yeah. What was the other December? December. Yeah. We're next. 2020. Yeah. I commented on the video. Yeah. I was like, bro, your video is so sick. Good to see you. Okay, so real quickly, here we go. You may open your eggs. Yes. We're gone now. What do you think? Listen, they just brought a lot of memories. This logo, when I had a dream of coming back to Africa. Yeah. I woke up and I started like, describing this logo. But I didn't know how this logo is going to come out. So all I did was I explained the dream to Nafi Bricks. You know Nafi? No. What's up everybody? It's the boy NNPP. I Nafi is a very good friend of mine. I explained the dream on phone. So as I'm explaining the dream that I came up with, that's so I've watched all your interviews. I've never had you say that. Never had you. Never had. Never had. This is like, that's what I like, what I saw is like, I mean, I'm so sorry, bro. And it looks kind of like this is the best thing that has ever happened to me in 2020, man. Thank you so much, bro. Sorry for the ambush, brother. Sorry for the ambush again. Okay. I just have one more thing for you guys. So we made this on the 28th, and you're supposed to be on the 29th, I think. And it broke as we were literally coming here. So on the day that we're coming here, we felt so bad giving you this. No. We made something else. We can't come all the way here and give you that. It broke. For me, this is enough, man. Wow. This is so beautiful. Thank you. Like, the reason why this means a lot to me is like, this is Maya. This is what brought me to Africa. You know, I've always wanted to tell you something. Also, another reason I made this award and him is, we're from Uganda and you have a few videos where you've not been featured in Cuba and Uganda. I'm coming back. I'm coming back because of this. Thank you. That shit, it broke our hearts to see, like, how you were treated when you were in Uganda. So from everyone, we're so sorry. And having said that, this is what we made right before we came to replace that, right? It's your choice what you do with this as well. But it is the same, just a bit cleaner. So that one's clear. No touches, no nothing. Congratulations. For one million subscribers. And, um, I also stay from the people in Africa to what they Maya behind there. So this is the one that we really wanted to give you. That one we just wanted to see a reaction.
