In case you want to know what I'm doing here, I used to be a YouTuber in China and that's how I got to know about Wadamaya and I came all the way from Nigeria to Ghana just to know about the story of Wadamaya. So he's going to be taking us along through the whole journey of how he all started and you guys are going to be going along on that journey with me. So I'm just going to hop on here right now and we're going to go and meet Wadamaya. So how are you doing? Are you finally here? Yes, I'm finally here. So the driver said I'm close to Ahin Kofi.

Yes. Ni hao. Ni hao man. The Chinese starts, you know. But yeah, welcome. Thank you. What brought you to my village man? You came all the way to my village. Yes, I did. I came to see and learn how it is, how you got here. How I got here, like how I'm here now. So you told me how it was getting to where you are now. Where it started from, let me be clear. Where it started from. When I got to China, they gave me the name Wadamaya. No, they did start from China. No, it started from here. Oh, okay. But not here. I mean, this is where I live right now. Okay. But I have to take you to where I was born, where I was raised before I went to China. I would love to see that. You want to see that? I want to see that. I want to learn all about. I take you to where I was born. My mum is around. Yeah, you know, my channel is all about my mum. So let me let you meet my mum before we go. All right, I'd love to see her, of course. Okay. Thank you. No, do you remember her? Yeah, from your video that I remember her. Yes. Inaji, I thought they said a good day, mum. The girls, but then the guys, man. That's what I'm wondering. Yeah, the guys do this. Then the girls. We go down. Oh, okay. Okay. So she came to see me and I wanted to see her for the first time. Okay. Yes, mum. Welcome. Thank you, ma'am. All right, so. I'm Magi. Magi? So that's what the Maya. Yeah, my mum. I'm there. All right. Okay. So now it met my mum. I want to take you to where I was born, yeah? All right. All right, so let's go. Let's go. I'll be back, yeah? So, welcome to my humble beginning. Okay. This is where it's all started. So you're telling me that a whole word in Maya, 900k plus. What are you saying? Start here. I grew up from here. I was born here. I was raised in here. Wow, so where was your room? Come with me. Okay. So you see this room right here? This is where it's all started. I was born in this room. I mean, with five siblings. Okay. Are you the first or...? No, I'm not the first one. I'm the third born. Oh, okay. And together with my parent, we were seven in Norma. Right? But five of us would be in one room. And I used to be, you know, I urinate a lot when I was growing up. So I urinate and then I wake up early morning. They don't know who urinated me first. I'm sure it was hell for your siblings. Nah, yeah. Because by the time they realized I've already changed my clothes. That's funny. Yeah. So where was your kitchen, bathroom? Was it all inside here? We don't have bathroom in here. Oh, okay. You know, the first time I used water closer, I was shocked man. Because we used to... I mean, let me tell you this one. Okay. This right here is our bathroom. This was our bathroom. This is where we take shower. But I mean, growing up, I used to stand outside to shower. Come, I'm going to show you another thing too. Right here, you say. Okay. Sorry. I don't know if you can see this from here now. We can't see it. But you see the yellow house over there? Yeah, I can see that. That was where the public toilet is. Wow. So if you want to use the toilet, you have to go all the way there. I have to go all the way. So imagine, it's close. You have to hold your mouth and start running. All the way there. That's how this is in here. You know? So where was the kitchen? The kitchen. I don't know how to cook though. But my mom had a kitchen. So that is the kitchen right there. That's my mom's kitchen. And my mom used to sell kenki. Okay, what's that? You know, kenki, it's a staple food in Ghana. So my mom used to sell kenki. So I used to sell the kenki in the evening. You know, I go around and go search for people to buy the kenki from us. My senior brother used to sell in the morning. But I have another brother who is so shy. But he always stay here to sell it in the house. Oh, okay. So that's how this is. So this was the normal uni. What was it like growing up here? I'm so glad you said the normal that I knew. Because I was born here. This is home for me. I thought the entire world looks like my home. Until you stepped out. I stepped out. So it was normal for me to understand that five of us used to use one, two brush. That's crazy. She said it's crazy. No, it was not. Five of you used one, two brush. I mean, I was used to it. I just worked for my brother to finish. And then he gives you. And then I gave it to my sister. But you do that now. Oh, now? I think I have more than six, two brush. One person. And apart from that, if you think you don't want to use that, we had the chewing stick that I used to use. And there's another one called sponge. You tried the charcoal one before? No, I haven't tried it. I've tried the chewing stick. It's quite clean. Those days you used to use charcoal and then plantain and then you start brushing it. Interesting. So how was the transition? Like transitioning from here to China? It was very challenging because the first time I even left here, I went to Accra in the year 2012. That was when I was actually applying for my visa because I was not that guy who normally travels. I didn't know anywhere now. So that was the first time you left this place? I left this village. That was when I was applying for my visa. So imagine living from here to Accra to China was a whole different world for me. Because I'm coming from here. So I thought the whole world looks like this. So the difference was a lot? It's a lot. I mean, I don't even want to talk about that right now. But yeah, this is how it all started. And I mean we've come a long way. You don't think so? Yes you have. We've come a really long way and it's interesting to see how he started from here. That's why I normally say, if you don't know me, don't judge me. Sarah, do you still have more questions for me? Yes, I do. Sit down and ask me the questions. I hope you don't mind. Since you're coming from China. I don't mind. Okay, so I'm sure you made friends while you were here. Of course you made friends. Accra up here definitely. You have a child with friends. Are you still friends with those people? Of course, we're still friends. And they are still around. I would love to meet them. You would love to meet them. Maybe a few of them, maybe one too. I think I'll take you to one of them. And then later maybe I'll take you to... I mean people don't believe that I was a good football player. Right now, people are laughing at me. But in this village, I was the number one striker. Number one. So I have to take you to my coach first. We have to meet him before we meet my friend. To confirm. I need to confirm from him. Give me... Hey, see. Hey! You didn't play like the number one. He didn't play like the number one striker. I'll give you one striker. So I'll take you to meet my coach. And then after that, I will definitely take you to meet my friend. Alright, let's go. You good there? So like I was saying, this guy right here was my childhood coach. Senior man. When you needed a mububolo... Are you a good player? Makasa wa hu. Are you a good player? Ha. Are you a good player of striker? Habi din tina ma mububo biem. Fia, ubun name. Na henda wasi ubun ino shubu. Shubu ubuni name. Ubun ubuni name. Shubuna, ubun name wa hindi. Nini pupu pisa ma mububo biem. So... Nwa, nudi jebubo. That's it. That's my last day of my life. Henda, henda, henda, henda. No, henda joke. Henda joke. How's my coach? Mubo bwala angkasa angkasa. Senior man. Mubo bwala angkasa angkasa angkasa. This guy right here was our main coach. Main player man. Mubo bwala angkasa angkasa angkasa. Senior man. Kabibi chawanemi. Mubo bwala angkasa rega. Aha. Prey, go kipa biara abu din biara. Uto mitu nipani. I say, man, the old captain Kiyoko Ainkofi River secondary, go kipa bianchi nipani. Go kipa bianchi nipani. Senior man, nampada mini nimbia dano. Uplay, uplay, uplay. I say, uplay nti. Uplay. That's why I'm here with Jebobo. Anu kwaifu na kupi hii dago. Obo bobo bobo. Henda joke. Oh, henda joke. Obo bwini nipa perso ang Jebobo. Onko ni skulu. Onko skulu. That's why I'm here with Jebobo. Ndoh. Tefia wa iwi. Iwa iwi, nama onko skulu. Nama onko skulu. Muntupon nantu. Even to today. Kwaifu, anu utimu nantu. Even to today. In Stochram, it meti painu. Nde mi painu. Nde. Mikaida na masini sinu. One guy, ubisu bunu pukuni nimi. Ikaida machu nini. Henda. Henda, henda. Henda. This guy, ubisu, ubisu, Ejya kwaisi. Okobu, asam okobu. Bwini na obo bobo mi nimi nini. Nde. Nde. Iwa kwaisi shada. Bobo, kwaini nimi. So, today, da ga nani aepo. Shia. Iiji. Obo bobo bobo pa. I tell you man. Obo bobo ane. I tell you, they'll play you so pa. Nde. Last day. Shia. Shia. Nde. Wadema ya. Nde. Wadema ya. Nde. Nde. Kwaisi. Nde. Obo, ane. Ina na muna. I mean, so many people don't believe that I was a good football player. Ya, but your coach just proved it. He just confirmed it. He just confirmed it. I believe that my childhood friend was also gonna confirm it. Oh, he used to play with you too? Of course. Ya know, I was a striker for the whole team. Oh, ok. Abek, Abek, Abek. Abek, Abek, Abek. Hey. Chale. Long time. Long time man. Hey Chale, how business man. I say kuhu. See that man. Everything kuhu. Abutola. So this is Abek. Abekan. He used to be the youngest in the whole, I mean in terms of our friendship. Ok. He was the youngest. And he's the one who always cry any time we lose a game. Is that true? True, true. I was a striker. Believe me. And anytime we lose, he will cry. He will cry. I don't think he's going to cry anymore. No, no, no. Not again. I am grown up. So ya, do you have any question for him? Ya, of course I have questions for him. So you go out with Wondemaya. Ya, ya, ya. But this is not your Wondemaya. It's not a different Paya. Kobe. Ya, Kobe, Kobe. Betwood. Ya, ya, ya. Why are you looking at me? No. Betwood is actually my round. Ya. But Nick me was Bebetwood. Bebetwood is free. Is free. Why did he come to the digital world? Why? Ask him now. Why did he call him Bebetwood? No, best striker. Best striker. Best striker. I didn't tell him. Best striker. He said it all. No, I'm not who. Ha. Best striker. Best striker. Inayum kufi. Inayum kufi. Thank God. Best striker. In the world, I eat food. No money, but that. But ya, the last question. That's nice. So, what was it like growing up with? Whatever. Okay. Betwood. Betwood was cool. And I think, na, ashasin no, I didn't be brave. I didn't be brave. Wafia lotin. Wafia inzime be brim. No, yezi. I think na, nima mumpu unotu na nkada kuna zi. Wafia mumpu muku fiawa na ademai. Muku suma, musu meye din. Miki kremizi. Na, yezi. Na, yezi. Na, yezi. I think na, ya mia ye, ya mina waa ye. Because, bbc sewaed, you know, waa ya me.

Adoko, meye fika kri na nupopi. Na nupopi na, waa ye good. Waa ye good. Waa ye good pa. Bbc sewaed na, oni wo biem. Oni wo biem. Nye na, yezi waa bo bo pa, na nupapa. Wewako, because na nupapa niye nipapa. Nene timiye. Ya. Mkade na, na na ya kukana kukana. Ya, nupere na, obon mo konezin. Ya, it's true. It's true. The struggle was really real. The struggle never stopped there. The struggle actually followed me to school. I mean, I attended one of the best primary and junior high school in Ghana. I mean, if you living in Western Regie, definitely know that West Street Primary and Junior High School was one of the best those days. But that was not my initial school. My previous school, apparently my father said that no one can actually compete with my son. So I need to take him to the best school. I mean, that time, things were okay for my dad. And everything just went from 100 to zero. And that is where I found myself in a rich school as a poor boy man. It was really tough. And I know and believe that I cannot tell you this story by myself. And there was this friend who was actually going through the same struggle and I think we recorded this video two years ago. Sandy Mohamed, come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer. Good to see you man. You make fun boy. Come on, play. You make fun boy. You wear, you know, get a full job. Where you make fun boy like that? But this guy, he doesn't even have food to eat. Look at him now man. Hey, this is, this is this is dope man. Man, good to see you again. How about that? No, tell them your name. They don't know you. They know who you are man. Who are you man? My name is Sandy Mohamed. Coming from Germany, Berlin. And I just came to Ghana to visit my families and friends, you know, in Long that we see each other. So I decided to just come back home to see and say hello to them, you know. And funny enough, I met this Betut Akun. A.K.A. What up Maya? They don't know my real name man. They have mentioned my real name man. I am Maya. Let's share this story with people. My mum used to sell kengi. What about you? Yeah, mum used to sell wachi. That rice and beans. I was tired of eating kengi in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening. What about you? Yeah, same my brother. Always wachi. Always wachi. So what do we do? What do we do when we come to school? Yeah, always when you come to school you just have to just come to you and ask your boy, you need to change food because I'm tired of eating my mother's wachi. You know what I mean? I just need to eat something different, not the way to eating wachi. You know what I mean? Because we are not like the other students when we come to school, the money is not there. The money is not there. So that is what, that the wachi is our money, the wachi is our food and everything. You know what I mean? So we need to carry the wachi from the house and bring it to school. It's a big time. Then we find some place to swap the food. You know what I mean? Even we are not going to wash the hand, then we just need to start to eat. You know what I mean? Yes, because the money wasn't there for us to live like the others. You know? Okay, those of you who don't know, I used to sell kengkei at night. You know, you go to kengkei, two city, two city. You know, you sell the kengkei and the following morning, you wake up and go to school. But shout out to my senior brother man. I really respect you a lot because he was selling the kengkei in the morning. He was a St. John's student. He was in senior high school but he has to sell the kengkei in the morning before he goes to school. So shout out to you, Emmanuel Haifa. Let me tell you something. I remember there is this day, I won an award. And I was the first person who won the award in this school. So they wanted to motivate the entire student that, hey, this award is really real. So most of you can partake in the award so that you can also win. And then it was an assembly. Like the whole students were then, the teachers mentioned my name. Hey, Betodakon, you won the award. Come and collect your award. Bro, that time I was working from the house. I came to school late. I was sweating. And you know my uniform, man, I don't want to remember this. Like the uniform that I'm wearing, you can see my ass through the uniform because I'm wearing a tone uniform, both the top and the down. You can see my ass, man. So when they mentioned my name, I was wearing slippers. I was holding my polyten bag. You know, that's what I put my books inside. And they called my name to come for the award. And you know what? I don't know, why you there? What happened that day? Man, it was crazy. You know, all the teachers and all the students, everybody started laughing. Everybody started laughing at me. Even the teachers said, we are no longer going to give you the award, man. Like they refused to give me the award at assembly hall. They gave me to me in my classroom because my uniform was tone and they don't want me to bring a tone uniform to take pictures that I was the one who won the award. Knowing the struggle that I went through, I know and believe that there are kids in this school that are actually going through what I went through. And I don't think it's a good thing. So I mean, coming back to the school in a way of giving back, I decided to identify less privileged kids in this school. So I wanted to buy them uniforms, but I was informed by the headmaster that the school already, the government is already doing that. So I told them that, hey, way back in school, I never had a school bag. So what I did was identify kids who don't have school bags, went to a shop to shop for bags for them. And it makes me feel happy and even though I couldn't do a lot, but I know and believe that in future, I'll be doing more than this because I don't want people to go through what I went through. Yeah, it's a way of, I mean, building you, but it's also not a good struggle for real. From there, I went to Bompasinia High School. I think that is where I really discovered myself thanks to Mr. Joseph Keta who saw me and realized that I had potential and he decided to groom me to become who I am today because that school was not my first choice. I was not a happy student when I was there, but Mr. Keta told me one thing and that is what I'm living my life on. He told me that it doesn't matter where you find yourself, but what matters is what is within you. A big shout out to all my classmates in Bompasinia High School, a big shout out to all my teachers who, I mean, discovered and decided to, I mean, embrace and teach us to become who we are today. For me, I respect teachers a lot because without teachers, there will be a precedent. Without teachers, there will be, I mean, the future leaders that we have today. So yeah, I attended Bompasinia High and this is the end of my story and I know that I will take you to China in the next story.
