There are NO... Let me repeat NO AFRICAN AMERICANS DEMANDING LAND IN AFRICA FOR FREE!!! 🤷🏻🤦🏻

Build our own shipping line. Build our own ships. Build up a world class navy to protect our ships. The time is now

Nice show guys. I'm a Nigerian living in GA 🇺🇸. We also need to eliminate traveling Visas within Africa..

Very arrogant to expect a handout like this. Why do you feel you're more important than the local African people?

I am an African born in Africa and i dont own land but hopefully will buy ,how on earth should AA be given land free when some natives dont own n they cant get it for free.if you want to come back home to any A C buy land period!

Lands are an issue but most blacks from the Caribbean have their own. I got my own

AAs being given free land ain’t gonna happen! Forget it! If we indigenous Africans work hard to buy land in our own countries, why would AAs just come here in Africa and be given free land? 🤷‍♂️ Like here in Kenya 🇰🇪, we Kenyans are working hard to buy land and some are even fighting for their rights to land ownership 😢 It doesn’t matter whether you’re coming to invest or build a factory, you must buy your land like everyone else! Nothing is for free!

Our connection to the soil (the land) is very strong and essential to our overall health and wellbeing. For example, farming is not only a economic necessity, it is also very therapeutic.

Even though I am an African who wholeheartedly welcomes AAs to Africa, the demand for free land by some of them is neither in line with reality nor historical facts. Firstly, the trans-Atlantic slave trade took place almost exclusively on the western and south-western coast of Africa. Therefore, African governments from elsewhere will simply say, "This has nothing to do with us!" Even worse for AAs, these governments can decide that legally therefore, AAs are simply American citizens with no special status in their countries. This means that the whole of eastern and southern Africa ( which comprises most African countries) will only accept you on the same basis as any other foreigner. Another fact that is little known by AAs is that, of the total number of trans-Atlantic slaves, those who ended up in the US AND Canada comprised a mere 4-5%. Brazil alone took in 40-50%! Given these facts, there are those who ask why AAs are so demanding, yet their numbers in the slave trade were miniscule. Secondly, the Indian Ocean slave trade in which African slaves were shipped from eastern and southern Africa to the Middle East was equally extensive and destructive. East Africans will wonder therefore, why only the descendants of the trans-Atlantic slave trade are making what seems to be unreasonable and unwarranted demands. After all, all of the Middle East and some other parts of Asia have slave descendants from eastern and southern Africa. Thirdly, Africans are themselves only coming to terms with the devastating consequences of colonialism which only ended half a century ago. Most African countries are yet to recover, especially from the economic devastation wreaked by colonial and neo-colonial policies of exploitation. Furthermore, countries such as Kenya and Zimbabwe had to endure horrors of war for many years in their determined quest to oust colonizers from their lands. In South Africa to-date, whites own more than 70% of the land, an issue that black South Africans obviously want addressed. In view of this, my suggestion to AAs is to have realistic expectations in Africa lest their demands drive a wedge between them and Africans living on the continent and in the diaspora. In such a scenario, AAs will undoubtedly be the losers. Bear in mind that until there is political will in Africa to change the immigration laws, AAs travelling to Africa are considered American citizens, period. How you conduct yourselves in Africa in the meantime, will largely determine what direction this process takes. From a political standpoint, this sense of entitlement does not help your case at all, especially on the very sensitive issue of land in Africa.

Nobody owes them anything. They are not more important than an local African in Africa who's in need of these same things. People who are entitled will never be satisfied. Give them land today and tomorrow they will ask more. This exact mentality is why some will never achieve their dreams and goals in Africa. The moment you understand you're not owed anything is the moment you'll learn to make things happen instead of asking for handouts.

Should we find love within us as a people, we may grow stronger than any.

Most of the Diaspora coming to Africa is not looking for Free anything! Our freedom is going back to the Motherland. That is enough: land, safety, peace and food. Why not come.

Another amazing show. From the Caribbean as an ancestral diasporan, never been to Africa, minute 35 interests me alot. I would invest my vacation money into that, staying in the outskirts of city with local people. Keep this going guys. Many of us actually want that. Excellent show guys. 👍

You guys somehow just keep getting better! And the suggestion to visit the continent and live like a local might be the best advice in history for a Diasporan.

Love this podcast. So true that the issue of investing in the continent is NOT about money, but about transparency. We have tried to invest in our respective African countries, only to be duped by our own greedy lazy country countrymen. Once you've been burned a few times, you put your money where it's SAFE.

As a small business owner I think we should also consider investing in Logistics import/exports. I recently started my e-commerce retail business and I've notice that the system is determined to stifle African business by charging exorbitant shipping rates. I traveled to Tanzania and Kenya last year and decided I would work with the local artisans who make handmade bags and jewelry. I used DHL for shipping and found that unfortunately the Dutch, and US have the market on this industry and they are determined to make life difficult for us. This type of venture could definitely be an asset to the African/ A. African entrepreneurs who want to facilitate building throughout the continent also as well as making it easier to move produce and goods from Africa to the US and throughout all diaspora communities. By the way I am a retired military NCO, educator and entrepreneur. I recently acquired a 2 year residency in Kenya and plan on starting a preschool. I have a few contacts in Tanzania and in Kenya and am very interested in networking and bridging the gap between our family...

Awesome discussion. Guys I've been thinking about this for a minute, and my country of choice had always been Uganda, so you can imagine my joy listening to you guys brainstorm on how the tire meets the gravel. If you guys would form a produce exporting firm with a designated contact person like Oshay, i would email to offer advice on the way Forward in becoming your pioneer partner in the USA.

There are millions of natives needing land too. Get in line if there’s free land to be given out. Otherwise, check the classified pages or visit land brokers and buy the land like everyone else. Enough with the entitlement.

How? Even blacks in Africa don't have land.

I am a Black African Diasporan who was born in the US. Demanding free land is absurd. No visas, that is a different story. We should not be charged for a visa fee, but it is their country; not ours. Partnering for free land is a better idea. Why? Because it is a partnership between Diasporans and Locals. It would be a win-win situation if no greed/theft is involved. It would bring employment to the area/locals. The chief looks good. The locals have the land, skill sets, connections and the diasporans have the money, access, and skill set. We have to address our problems as a win-win solution instead of I deserve mentality. Because we all deserve. The question becomes-will you do what is necessary and beneficial for the progression and preservation of Black people? Most will answer no, because it is about them and not the collective (which affects the individual).

ODJ, great stream with my favorite guest so far. I definitely have had the same type of conversation from the intro with many Pre-Immigrants. *Pre- referring to me talking them out relocating to the the west UNLESS they can buy their place of residence in cash, have complete language fluency, and possess an education the lacks licensing/test in order to work in the chosen country. If not, expect employment as an uber driver or pr*stitute before deportation.

There is no free land for anybody in Africa, please don't be fooled into giving any body land for free Land is an important resource whether this African American are homeless don't allow them in your country unless they have something to give don't allow them in your country please

The idea of sending fresh produce to the U.S. is good. But how do you get African Americans or Blacks in the U.S. on board. We see many African Americans coming to Africa and instead of eating the fresh organic food, they end up going to restaurants to look for "their food" like pizza, burgers, etc. They're used to unhealthy food and it's so difficult to convince them to eat African food. In fact we've seen many of them complain about food the first time they come to Africa.

I love these discussions. Kenganda got it going on. I am not waiting on an invitation from Africa. I'm always there and reconnecting with my African cousins. I will take free land or I will buy land, no issue either way.

I'm just thinking of the African American sista from Atlanta ,( who was litteraly gifted 200,000 Acres in central Africa ,and that land is mineral rich in bauxite ,cobalt ,gold among other natural minerals). I forgot the country - but she's balling real heavy over there.

I agree with Joanita with a twist. I believe Africa should take a page from Thailand and the British Virgin Islands. In order to own land you should have to be an African or Diasporan. You can however own the property on the land just like in Thailand and the British Virgin Islands. That would keep the land African. With these other cultures purchasing land at the rate they are they will own African by 2040 based on their fiduciary advancement. The bell has been rung and cannot be unrung. Africans don't have time to catch up so they have to put up barriers like the owning of land.

We do not need free land… we just need residency… we are not looking for jobs; we are coming to create jobs. The Ugandan president said for us to come home; is there a process for this?

Hell no to free land, get it together first in America before asking for anything free...✅

Very good conversation...I have a lot of thoughts...I have been on this journey with Oshay for many year ,as a African American we would like to be proud of and are proud of my Africanism .

The Sad Thing Is That Other Groups Don't Even Need to Make Like This Conversation & Still Controlling😕

Love you guys content, I have been telling my brothers and sister the exact same things you are talking about. Maybe we can do a joint broadcast one day to at least start a discussion, that can hopefully grow into action

Well spoken my brothers its a matter of transparency to trust the process…

Truly love the intellectual depth and breath of this channel in general and this podcast in particular! Let us all clearly understand that the current global situation did not come about by happenstance. Those people who benefit from the status quo will marshal their every resource, and fight tooth and nail to prevent the changes discussed on this podcast. When I look at that small and fragmented bits of history that occasionally manages to reach the light of day: 1) the systematic genocide of the indigenous peoples of present day North and South America, 2) the transatlantic slave trade and 3) the subsequent crimes against humanity that continue to this hour; and 4) the uncountable military “adventures” against people of color globally…I lack the intellectual ability to see how these progressive plans can be effectuated without a total restructuring of the present-day global order (which ain’t likely to peacefully occur). I pray that I’m incorrect in my assessment and that younger, brighter minds band together to do these wonderful and needed deeds. I pray for the continued progression of The Clock of Destiny!

Entitlement right here. There is no free land to be given. Let them earn it by working for it like the rest of the hard working Africans who save money for years to secure land. With your incomes it will not take that long.

All black Americans needs to listen to this!

No No No. Free land must never be given to diasporans. Just the thought of such things would make the Locals hate us. If you are a diasporan and you can't afford to buy land in a certain African country because its too expensive. Then do your research and check out another country like Gambia where I am currently located. Land is probably a lot cheaper there than in Ghana for example. But please don't wait too long because Gambia is developing at a super fast rate, and land and house prices are rising rapidly!!!!

In the state i live in the us suburbs there is a indoor farmers market (mostly Asian and Latino owned). If i had the money and access to capital that would be a type of business i look into. Everyone (non white) from the international community shops there. It's called Nam Dae Mun. They even sell Afrikan goods. Ghana yams and bitter leaves. If our Afrikan and Caribbean family could come together to start business like this it should be good money and good for the community health wise and economically.

This is one of the best episodes brotha Oshay. I believe we need to do business across seas first before land is handed out. It will strengthen our bonds. The Diaspora should have auto citizenship....maybe even loans etc. Import export is very important with the black world. Best guess so far. ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽

I came in here quickly to say … I whole heartedly agree and do so wit God Speed.

African collaboration is beautiful! Great Video, everyone made excellent points.

Good to see ya'lls back. Yesterday I was left hanging.

Great job you guys are doing, it’s overdue….. we should’ve had these conversation years ago

1.Free land would be impossible unless West Africa as they were promised. Let whoever wants to buy do it but make sure it’s legitimate with legal titles. It’s even hard for natives to buy because of fraudulent deeds. 2. If you have poor money handling and can’t purchase land where you are then it will be likely difficult to purchase somewhere else. 3. Lots of Kenyans are actually buying land in America and doing farming. Financial literacy first before moving somewhere else.

35:30 I've been saying for years that we need some kind of cultural exchange program like this between diasporans and continental Africans. People can host on both sides.

The Slave Trade Diaspora should have a land reapropeation of land that their ancestors were ripped away from, poor European peasants was appropriated free land in America and was given farming literacy why can't Africa can't do the same to right the wrong that they did to their own people's?

That can't happen, it shouldn't be topic to discuss, because no Africans born our continent have giving free land. But you can measure large land as country size.. And allow each Diasporas want land buy from the lands owners. By so doing they will create their country with their culture in touch.. We Africans born on the continent should be honest, Ancestors Diasporas have different lifestyle, most of them practice homosexuality ... Naked dressing, Drugs, Gun culture, and mqny more, these 2 cultures can't much each other.

This conversation is one of the strongest and most beautiful of them all. .. BIG CONGRATULATIONS I'm from Brooklyn NYC. I just want to add how important it is for us to realize that this is something we must do for our children, Our work today must be for them and their children tomorrow. This must be a Three Generation plan for every child today, their child and the children they have after. African countries must understand how important it is for our children here too grow up there. To learn the old ways and the old languages, then when they are strong we send them anywhere in the world to bring back the progress they find. To get the diaspora to return to Africa, Yes land is important, like he said, if he doesn't want to go to the office he can go to the village and chill. Our children here in the USA are suffering because they have no land, no home, no old ways, no identity to any tribe. Africa must refuse to allow another generation of youth to off spring here in this land without the proper food, spirit and identity to a strong tribe. This way they know who they are, what they must do, and the be beholden to their tribe, traditions and progress for the best humanity for the children to come. Africa must unite in this cause, for the children in the diaspora, that will make the progressive adults who are willing sacrifice and step up in Africa...ACTIVATE

What i realize about diasporas, the ones interested coming to Africa dont really have money for business and the ones with money will not love to invest or live ,just wanna come as prigimade to Africa,

I wouldn't mind going, however, there's a shift happening now with currency, and I'm curious about the occupation types there?

Explain how the Diaspora can 1. Purchase land 2. The process of navigating the complexities of language of business in African countries.

I love his comment, “if you can face challenges then Africa is the best place to be “!

Talking about opportunities, here are a few random ideas. Maybe someone finds one of them a useful starting point: - How about a free university for gifted students both from Africa and the African diaspora? Here is how it could work: Provide the buildings and housing for the teachers and students. Then invite retired university teachers from all over the world. Provide them with just a little bit of funding, and allow them to organize themselves. - Look at the Amish and Mennonite people and what they are doing in the US. These are basically German _tribes_ that created their own pockets of 18th century German culture inside the US. The conservative ones think twice before accepting any bit of the surrounding culture, coming up with rules such as: mobile phones are OK for work but must not enter the house, where they may not even allow electricity. To a large extent they live sustainably on agriculture, and they have an explosive growth and their young families buy cheap farmland that was ruined by industrial farming and is no longer profitable for it. Also look at the Gullah Geechee people, the Jamaican Maroons, and Gaspar Yanga in Mexico for some inspiration as to what an African tribe in the US could look like. - I am not sure that the export of food from Africa to the US makes a lot of sense. I am afraid the US gets its imported food from elsewhere because it's cheaper that way. However, I like the idea of African Americans spending some time in Africa to see what it's like. Only I would extend it to a full year and would make it a rite of passage for young people. At first it might just be enough to popularize the idea, so the more motivated people find ways to make it a reality. Over time, various opportunities would be developed. Here are two: 1. Exchange programs between HBCUs and African universities. 2. Some African countries would no doubt realize that it is in their interest to offer 1-year (non-renewable) work visas for young African Americans, as they are likely to benefit their host countries in various ways in the future. And some organizations would no doubt offer a wide variety of opportunities to make use of this for mutual benefits to the young guests and the locals. - IT should have a great future in Africa. A lot can be done with a 5-year-old computer and a reasonable Internet connection. As the cost of living in Africa is typically lower than where IT work is currently being done, there seems to be a lot of potential for successful businesses here. South Africa seems to be leading with this, for good reasons, but I think it's a chance for other countries as well.

Really good show. Incredibly inspirational.

I want to move to Africa so bad smh, but I feel trapped in America.

Interesting topic. Honestly, I think giving free land might be a great incentive for the diaspora with no previous connection to Africa that want to relocate to Africa. Yes I’m thinking about African Americans and yes I’m biased because I am one. I think it might help in a significant way to make a challenging transition easy. Many countries do that for their genetically linked people that want to return, plus more, because they value themselves and their people. I do think it should be land that is truly free according to legal and tribal rules. Also, for persons concerned about this, I am confident that free land offers would still not be enough to motivate an exodus. Probably only a handful of people would take this offer up. So I doubt that group has much to worry about.

That's hilarious we are citizens and natives of this land and we have to buy land, it should be the same for everyone.

I’m from the diaspora and I don’t think land to be given for free, I will say we can bring our ideas and scholarship amongst the locals to help them develop and build

As Usual, Deep High Valuable Conversation From 00:00 to 50:54 😊

I was late but great show. Dj Maintain is super cool 😎. I can see his island from my island in the Caribbean 🇰🇳🇦🇬. Island boys.😂

For some of those AA's and continental Africans who see the value in collaborating with the African diaspora to strengthen each other, be it in American or in Africa, I am all for it...mostly because blk ppl share a similar struggles in relation to the wider Eurocentric world. However, that's about as far as it'll go. We are otherwise very different in terms of culture...and that's ok.

What about all the full-blooded Africans from Haiti, columbia, Cuba, Aruba, Jamaica e.t.c.? What about their free land?

This was a very informative show. But let’s not just talk, but execute!

Great risings everyone this is a very important CHANNEL ON KZfaq AND AN EVEN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION

Always free stuff.😃

Nephew Oshay , sypport our people first and the rest will follow . Marcus Garvey said " Race ?First ". We are afrsid of ourselves & would rather help other groups . There should be a part 2 , 3 & 4th part of this discussion .

This episode have no words 🙌🙌

Agaba shared a brilliant idea about gazetting land and inviting some rich black people to build model cities. This video sparked some new brilliant ideas but you also gotta be careful as I noticed alot of drama coming through from West Africa. It could have been the inidviduals that were handling it weren't well equiped so I would suggest keenly looking into anyone who might be interested.

Love this show want to get involved with this business project with the food fruit and vegetable for helping to heal our family

Land is available for good projects for our African diaspora. Musician Akon a few years ago came to Uganda with the idea of "Akon City" and he got square miles of land. Investment land is not just in Uganda but across many countries in Africa. Our diaspora need to pool their money and come get land for business.

This makes me think on western reparations plans and how those plans could actually work in Africa. Grants and opportunities are viable in Africa because the limiting factor that would normally be victim to sabotage. I believe Africans can create their own "wealth" very easily. Especially in cooperation. I believe free land should be given to those who can at the very least draw up a plan for the land. Residential - family size, energy/water source, interner/infrastructure, property/building size. Commerical - plot size, business size (if one exists already), business plan and land use strategy (blueprint of facilities, energy and water sourcing, pollution control/waste management etc.) Industrial, Park and & Rec, Nature reserve and so on. The catch being you will be persuaded to go where you are needed most. And going where you are needed most will be met with support, whereas going on your own is just that. I think people moving there should integrate. Its not like they don't know how. Code switch if you must. But to be able to do that, we must truly BE home. It's not enough to feel.. It must be true.

In order for the African governments to truly help the Diaspora and native bro/sis to grow/develop each other, there needs to be an economic/social infrastructure to do this like most Western or 1st world nations does . It can be done amongst the world's best population which is Africa , so AU man and power up . Peace Fam. . ❤

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant episode.

Chinese have also tapped in our food stream!! Veggies, fish, fresh fertile soil, etc. Countries like Namibia, Botswana in the southern region have vast un occupied land. Lets also remember that they were victims of this slave trade. 1 million A.Americans cannot make these economies fail but the opposite.

Networking and building bridges therefore learning how to solve problems that plague our people and can help us and the world .

That Would be just great!

my fam and me want to go but know no one there and don't know where we should go in Africa...hmm maybe Uganda?

The big question is is Capitalism only created for the Europeans? And Socialism/ Communism for everyone nonwhite?

The problem here is a few people who are sitting and conversing about African Americans getting free land just like that... You are in for a rude awakening. AAs should be getting free land in West Africa first and free citizenship because it is very unfair to just give land to people we never displaced. Our own people down south do not even have land and when they need land they have to buy it so why should we give you land for free?

"HOW IS IT - An American can go the (Uganda) and work a job where they have enough money to buy LANG and the Uganda national can not afford to buy the same land?"? (This is not so) But many people of African Nationality believes it is SO. AS Americans, we Black Americans know this is not the case and so we are a shame to be treated "as if it is so".

Adam Smith insisted that a country's wealth comes from the goods and services that it creates - we call this GNP (gross national product) today. To maximize wealth it is necessary to set productive capacity free, wrote Smith, rather than to restrict it.

Brilliant minds.

I do really love this topic. I have gotten worn thin trying to build units & collectives.. transparency, integrity, dedication where everyone gives their whole effort…. I am rebuilding my spirit and tenacity again for another go at it. OSHAY you where in my dream last night as you are in this panel with your team at KENGANDA! You all are amazing! 🖤🫶🏾🙏🏾🇺🇬

Nothing is free if you want the opportunity to own land you have to work for it

Excellent Show y'all..🖤💯👍

Free land? I'm Namibian and there's no way the US government will give me free land in America. They won't even allow me to visit their country without first interrogating me at their embassy here in Windhoek

Oshay makes a great point that every black doesn't need to move back to Africa. Those of us who move back can provide the food and goods to our family in the diaspora. Just like other groups do.

No land should be free for people who haven’t lived a day in Africa. I’m a Nigerian who grew up in the U.K. and I am not and don’t feel entitled to free stuff in Africa, I bought my own land. If you give people free stuff how will they know how to develop it. This assumption that everyone in the diaspora has skill or the education level to help develop Africa is too simplistic. What about the Africans dieing at sea to get out😒 why not help them first.

The technology transfer that the diaspora would bring to Africa if the diaspora is given free land to entice them back home is priceless. The Chinese were able to achieve their current world dominance status through the help of their diaspora when other nations would not lend them money 30 years ago. Africa would benefit 10 fold if the diasporans come back to assist with development. Clearly West Africans understand this but it appears East and South Africans don’t get it. But hopefully through dialogue, they would also understand the benefit of diasporans coming back to help develop Africa but also initially giving them free land.

I'm down let's do this

It's not even a debate

Why not ? Other people are getting it.

I think African-Americans, South American, Africans, and Caribbean Africans should be given cheap land in Africa as part of reparations from Africa. I disagree with the young lady who stated that they should give indigenous Africans land first. We have to resources that ability the technology and I know how to develop That land. And Africans in America are Africans. We are the same people. And one or two generations we will all be considered just African. Please stop separating Africans an African Americans.

Great show

Africa needs investors to come and invest in manufacturing ,industries etc

No free land… Access to free citizenship and support services yes.

To me this is one of THE REPAT PODCAST SEASON ONE's most useful kinds of discussions. I'm going to share it on Invention School's web site which was established by an African American living in Kenya for the purpose of developing the fruits of African imagination for Africans, especially including diasporans. Thinking about cracking that nut of how to best utilize the skills, talents, and resources of continental Africa's people together with those of the African diaspora will be of the utmost importance. We see the problem so that we can now move on to how to solve that problem. Yes, it starts by imagining!

14:12 Those riots in France are from folks whose cultures are incompatible with the Country that wasn't built for them. It happens too often.

I have a lot to say, I would love to share my thoughts and opinions with the show.

Hello from Orlando!
