 The destruction that occurred in black civilization took more than 600 years So anyone coming in have to understand that you are coming and you are going to reconnect with your family You are going to reconnect with the people whom you belong to You know what, I really want to create a channel for Ousmane What will be the name of your channel? Ousmane today Alright, so I am going to put a link in the description, make sure you check it out Jacob Freedom He has so many names But wait for it I am going to have a proper interview with him I don't have time He also doesn't have time But this one is just a tip of the iceberg And trust me man I don't want them to go I feel like I have more questions to ask But hey, we have a lot of Africans in the diaspora Like you said African, Jamaican, American You know that kind of thing But right now I mean a lot of them are coming back home Do you think that it's time for them to come back home Because Makus Gavi said Africa for Africans Both Africans in Africa and Africans abroad So do you think it's time for them to come back home? I mean, this is home So where else can they be other than home? It's high time for us to come I just want to say something Feel free The destruction that occurred in black civilization Took more than 600 years So anyone coming in Have to understand that you are coming And you are going to reconnect with your family You are going to reconnect with the people whom you belong to So open mindset is very true Let us come Get into the realities on the ground Learn about the culture See what is going on in the continent Let us walk through education Invest in the continent And then we promote a continental agenda Well I mean personally I think diasporans have been Lack of a better word But I have just said that They've been a great inspiration When an African has to look at a diasporan But they haven't become a great contribution To the expected development of Africa And the reason why I'm saying this is because And I'm saying this Not to push the nerves of most diasporans But to actually inspire Motivate them to take the right step As much as they have learned And acquired great experience From the Western system 80 to 90% of these people Have used Africa as a holiday moment Just come in And say that I'm going to be in touch With my ancestry And my days and my dad And the most they can stay is two months And they disappear again So that whole exodus Of people crossing The water that Mali prophesied As movement of the Jaff people Repeating itself in the days of revolution I'm yet to say it But I just want the diasporans to understand that They have acquired so much knowledge So much experience from the Western That if they have to contribute that To the current industrialisation That will revolutionise the development of Africa It will bring speed It will bring such a big value But there is a border They are very used to the Western We don't have a system for them And I don't blame them When they come here They look at our infrastructure They look at our system Hospitals People who have seen people who have visited African countries from Europe And they got sick and they didn't get good treatment And they died and it scared other people from coming So you know we have our issues And they have our issues But we need to realise that these are issues That we are the only solution to those issues If we are to come together To build Africa again And that will take sacrifice, commitment Passion, drive, determination And more and more and more So definitely I expect them to cross Some point very soon But I expect the Africans to start the movement And let them see the value That has been created That they need to be a part of You want Africans in the diaspora To come back to Africa To be part of the chain that we are looking for But we have Africans that are also living I mean they are not even the proper way They are passing through the Mediterranean sea Just to go find greener pastures But what do you have to say about that Because people keep on attacking me To come back while they own people Passing the back way to go to where they are So it's the level of development Africa has a very low level of development In terms of human mindsets Social living lifestyle Social infrastructures You know basic infrastructures Educational, academic infrastructures All of these are low levels They tap under 25% So I don't blame those people Running on ships trying to get away from here Because they feel like If they are living on $5 a day here And they can get $50 a day somewhere Anybody would try to Even the aunt If you can't find sugar here And if Anza is there He will crawl and go there So that's the problem They are running away because Our level of development is lower And they can't create a fortune And make a living out of it Hence that's why there is so much corruption In Africa Because everybody has been stripped down their value You are getting $200 You have a wife and four children And then the educational facilities Is charging you $800 To pay your kids' fees So definitely you have to do something To be able to pay for your kids So you are forced to do wrong And it's our system But that's what we've been talking about Until we decide to change the mindset And we step up to build Our own industrial platforms Our own factories, manufacturing hubs Our own technology hubs Our own energy plants and cities And providing sources to the cities The countries for people to be able to Have the right jobs The right lifestyle The right accommodation The right system Our people will forever be running from us Come closer Just come I'm doing something different today You said you were based in USA You were born and raised in USA Yes, Los Angeles Los Angeles Did you ever hear anyone calling himself Yes, I did You had so many times, right? Yeah So I just want to ask If they are calling themselves Kings and queens Then where is the kingdom? What do you mean by what you're saying? Are you saying that black people Are calling themselves kings and queens? Kings and queens, yeah Look, I mean this is a great question You just asked me I'm just going to answer it By using coming to America part two You have studio kings You have studio queens You have people that claim A kingdom ship that they don't even belong to They will wear things When people are crowned They're not necessarily a king or queen Just because they have a crown on their head But you know, it's a glory That is bestowed upon a family That becomes a royalty that lives within nations And Africans were the people That have always had this We go by monarchy We have just gotten into democracy In less than seven decades Our history said we were kings And we were queens This is a fact You can find it there There is nobody that can tell me That they bestowed people as kings And queens in America It's not their culture It's not there So if you hear someone calling yourself a king Or a queen It's a Pippa king Or it's a Pippa queen Or it's a movie queen Or a king And that's what I ask Where is the kingdom? So why? It's here It's here But we are not Are you trying to say that You can't call yourself kings And queens knowing the fact That you've never been on the model life Well, I'm not saying that What I'm saying is that This is more a demilfee king Or prince of Zamunda And there's no Zamunda in Africa And there is no prince That lives in a studio in America That claims to be a prince There's only one prince of Africa And his name is Goddamn Freedom Jack of Caesar Period Period Okay So I have to put people right In that perspective If we have to find out Okay This is it This is it This is it Whoa I mean, I don't even want to stop I mean, but that part was really good That part was really good That part was really good So you got something right after I will like to say about Freedom Jack of Caesar That something I've learned from him Is that royalty to be royal It's an inner ordination So it's something that has been Divined upon you You can't choose it for yourself So it's an internal change That happens Your call to it And it's reflected outward In your personality So he When he calls himself a king That is who he has been Divine to be He's been ordained to be that He's not just calling himself that The kingdom was born in him So that's where the kingdom is To answer your question I think I've done a lot today 20 hours bro Well, I mean I mean, I love it It's been a great conversation Touching base with ourselves We as Africans Now that we're growing We're beginning to realize That maturity is great Let's take one more time There's this question I want to ask Yeah, thank you I'm in Ghana right now And I have to talk about Ghana Ghana is 64 years old 64 years old Yeah I mean Just six months We're celebrating Ghana's independence But to me I think The country is not independent The country doesn't have that freedom I mean, when you talk of freedom We're talking about Economic freedom Do you think that African countries As they claim We have independence Do you think African countries Have that freedom That we're looking for on the continent I mean Before Because you use Ghana as an example So I would not want to go far I just want to give you a quotation By the late president of Ghana JJ Rowland May his soul rest in perfect peace He said Africans are yet to liberate themselves From the men who succeeded The white people are independence And that is our own people So independence In quotation Black independence was attained On no Toyota of doubt But the trajectory through which In Kuma inherited Ghana And the trajectory through which He was leading this country At some point That interest has been hijacked By leaders who doesn't fulfill The same mission The same vision And interest that we had for this country So no wonder It has slowed the development It has slowed And even at some point Hijacked the independence Of not just Ghana But many other African countries Unless we define independence In a very myopic way We will say There will be black independence Then we can say African states are independent But again This is a developer He has invested in a lot of houses all over I mean I had a conversation with him before here And even having to go And watch one of your interviews With other developers across Africa And there was this central question About where do they get their equipment Even a door to fix here He needs to order it from outside So that tells you That something is wrong with our independence For us to move ahead Not just political Political has to be there We must be able to take decisions On our own as a continent And again economically We have to make sure That we attain food self-sufficiency Let me say this These three things There is no country That can call itself developed Without attainment And that is the culture The education And the economy These are very key in every nation You must be able to make sure That you move your society from point A to point B Through strategic economic standpoints That are independently yours And at the same time When it comes to culture We have to be able to make sure That we are proud of our culture We work with it We do whatever that we want to do With our culture Without apologizing to anyone So we have to get this But one key thing That I also want to highlight before I move on Now we talk about globalization Across the continent And at some point Globalization have undermined The independence of many African states We have been fooled To make sure That we have to open up our markets To everybody Get this We have to say ideas All over the world And again Let us look at the African market If we open up our markets to everybody Why is it difficult For Africans to trade among ourselves But what you see Is an extract trade system Because international financial institutions everywhere Were built with the monopoly of western knowledge So what you see Is the resources going from Africa to the west And not seeing a similar channel With the same values as you were saying Happening So unless we save our own economic trajectory Unless we save our own political trajectory Unless we save our own development We can't call this continent an independent one Yep The ability to be able to have the chance To do whatever you like with the nature And the resources that is around you Is the definition of independence Okay And freedom comes in different versions You have financial freedom Like you said already Economic freedom You have all types of freedom But one thing that makes it become general Is when you are able to control Your development in resources That controls the economy That actually assists the people That live within that facility So as a continent Do we have this No So that means the freedom that we have Or the independence that we have Is a democratic independence It's like established independence But it's not a living independence There is a gap there The gap needs to be bridged Not to say that our forefathers Haven't tried their best To make that become a reliable source for us As having our independence They have tried But I also think that it's our responsibility To continue the journey that they started You know To create more room for independence For people Financial Economic Revolutionary Industrial And all the type of freedoms that we need To have a global respected systematic platform That governs a continent Not just a country Because I always see Africa Success would come as United States of Africa To be able to have an economy That yields trillions of dollars like America By trading between ourselves And the only way to do that Is to have industrial platforms That we would be able to refine And manufacture our products And create distribution channels That we start to distribute our products From countries to countries This is the only sense of unity I see Because Gambia speaks a different dialect Ghana speaks a different dialect And probably there's seven dialects There's about fifty dialects in Ghana And then by the time you get to Nigeria It's about a thousand already So definitely we can't understand ourselves by languages And we can't unite by languages But we can unite By exchanging value with each other Yes And that is the form of unity A sense of unity for me And it's also freedom Do you want to add anything else again? We're good Alright, so I just want to say Thank you so much for talking to me Thank you so much for sharing wisdom with me It's your favorite village boy Mr. Ghana And all I need to do is to salute you I'll see you next time
