JPM made a great impact in Tanzania... even all across Africa. My He Rest in Power 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🌹🌹🌹❤️

Mark is one of a kind. An awesome young man. 😊

Mark has so much wisdom for such a young age. He's an asset to any community he lives in.. 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

7:17 he’s spot on about people following their leaders. In haiti very few people smoke to this day because Duvalier and Aristide both promoted anti smoking

Im TANZANIAN and MAGUFULI was the best president ever happen in Tanzania..he never kiss western agenda ...

You Gotta Love Mark's Genuine no filter Honesty! Another Great show Guy's

I am a Nigeria, and boyy this guy truly understands us. especially with the not-talking about problem out loud. we can be very secretive. and there is definitely good and bad side to it... but you will also understand that its internet and social media age,.. its not about Black Americans talking too much, but its about things going viral and whatever happens in America usually goes viral around the world.. But this guy is super smart

Waaw when Mark said you gotta grow up when you come to Africa, I was like say it loud so people at the back can hear you

Look at Joanita on the pod looking all cute in her dress. Shout out to Mark it's always a delight to see him on the pod.

Thanks guy for bringing mark back ❤❤

Great dialogue. Mark is such a wise and intelligent young man. Thanks for having him on.

This gentleman Mark is deep thinker and goes to the ground to pick up every truth. I love his analysis line.

Yall stepped yall game up with this one way better than the first interview yall got deep into the issues instead of just letting Mark go off the whole interview. Plenty of back and forth engagement.

Mark is always such a joy to behold...

i always look forward to listening to mark, he is just cool, polite and has taken his time to understand African and the people

Hello from Philly and central Pennsylvania 🎉❤🎉😂

As a Tanzanian we are suffering as any of you suffer. The problem is our leaders. But the people we are really welcoming people. Let's pray for another good leadership

Mark is such an elegant speaker

I am an American in the Caribean 40 years. I learned we talk too much we have an "I know I'm right attitude" walk into businesses without saying good morning. Get on a bus without saying good afternoon and we insult peoples intellegence without realizing it because we are full of propaganda that "We are greater because we are born in the USA! SURPRISE! the planet is FULL of really great deeply profound, WARM hearted people if we just listen and be kind.

This is the only African American who has 100% understood how to integrate with Africa.

Oshay, your work-ethic and perseverance is well-above the average content-provider. You are certainly on pace for greatness. In the process, I pray that you attain balance with a little rest&relaxation from time-to-time. A short non-business trip, or 48hr "stay-cation" in private quarters can work wonders for the immune system. Thank you for all that you do.

I'm here for Mark and not the profanity. Mark is legit!

Mark is legit no doubt. I can see that he has develop a good relationship with Tanzania and the people there. Oshay you are on point about the diaspora moving to Africa. They should know that Africa is not a 1st world yet but with their skills and expertise they can make Africa into global power. Work within the people

Mark is wise beyond his age… love this young men ❤❤❤❤

This one of the most intelligent conversations on this channel learned allot

Luv Mark he is smart beyond his yrs! Great interview!

What a podcast, very insightful and educative more black Americans need to hear this

Love the dress Joan!!!

Mark is intelligent and very thoughtful about things.

I love that African printed dress. It adds a cultural element to your persona....@ Joanita

Mark is a time traveller. Ageless. Can you please come to the UK and become Prime Minister. Please? Your wisdom is..... Shouts to Oshay. Joanita.......

Beautiful dress on the African Sis. ❤🙂🔥🔥💯💯

Mark is so right about Tanzania. I wanted to go when Magufuli was in office. I was so impressed with him. I was excited. I had dealings there when he was alive and now I see the differences just like Mark said. The leadership set the tone. It starts from the top then goes down. We have to work only with those who are for the progression of Black Africans, period!

This young man seems intelligent, observant and a great communicator. He might be the next ambassador or leader.

Spectacular info...thank you.God bless

Good evening, everyone! 🇯🇲

This becoming my favorite channel on YT 👏🏿

my view is that afros from other continents they have one identity when they are in Africa, but us here we have more than one identity Apart from taking pride in our specific countries we also have a tribe that we live by its principles, and what our brothers and sisters from overseas should understand is our African identity is very fragmented and it gets meaning when we are basically dealing with people who don,t resemble us.

Kenganda does a great job interviewing their guests. I am loving this Channel.

This young man is wise beyond his years. 😮 Is it me or does he look like he could be, Michael Yo's younger brother/son...🤷🏾‍♀️🤔❓ Handsome indeed 🤩. God Bless him with longevity and prosperity. Amen 🙏🏾

😇God bless you Mark, thank you for sharing🕊❤💯

Mark is an incredible guest

Great conversations had. It’s all informative and I hope us in the diaspora are listening.

The best episode by far coming from a 🇬🇭 28:04 🇺🇸 in Seattle 23yrs

Great show!

Please remember this important point: They never expected us to survive or come back to Africa. So what makes you think they really care about us?

Ive followed him from the beginning. Reminds me of Malcom. Clear, deep and comprehensive. stay you

Oshay needs to stop interrupting when the guest is making a good point

I also arrived in Tanzania in 2020 from America. I have been here the whole time and don’t intend to ever leave. I must say that my experience is much different than what Mark has witnessed . I have received much respect from the Tanzanian community everywhere I have been. To be honest, they treat me like a King. Now the difference is I am a “AA” male well over 50 years old. From my perspective, they don’t treat WP any better here. What I think they respect is age, maturity, patriarchy, common sense and money.

Hi Anita Kente African attire is beautiful 😍 on her. Please wear more native African wear ❤

No African can out argue with someone from the west that knows their history.

Thank you all for the great work.

Great content!

Mark is very wise. I agree we Africans have our own never ending problems that many of us will find it hard to empathize with black Americans' Grievances. Each year, thousands of our people are risking their lives to cross into Europe, others embarking on dangerous illegal journeys to gulf countries, all in search of better lives. That's the reality of many Africans. They'd happily trade places with black Americans.

Actually in Ghana when you are getting Dual citizenship you must have two witnesses and write a paper why you are living United States and what are your plans in Ghana?

Shout out to Mark as well. He needs to be on the show more often. Chopping it up with Maintain and Master Gabs.

Bigap mark he’s so articulate 🇺🇬 Ugandan here.

This is Mark! When I want to know the truth about Tanzania...MARK IS THE MAN!

As always, a bright fella! (The guest)....

I think for me the reason why most Africans look like they don't relate to blacks struggle is because we feel still they have a better chance to succeed than us... What's bad to them we wish to have that any day...

You can't forget a history you never knew. Colonisers made the education system. In Kenya our history past a century ago is a mystery to nearly a 100% of the population. We have a little understanding of what went on in the past .The experience our ancestors had, the great achievements and challenges they overcame are all lost in history. Not by mistake but by design.

This guy he can leave anyplace in Africa

And I agree that Joanita always looks REGAL on set. Very pretty young Queen, for sure.

As the leaders, so goes the people.

Mark is too much! 🔥🔥💪🏽👍

Love Joanita's dress!

This video was so informative.

some Africans don't like africans . I have one girl from south Africa working in my company but she doesn't even greet her fellow africans but want to be freinds with only whites and Asians .. but asian and white girls new staffs when they come in thier energy is completely different with black girls . They don't take long to fit in . Africans have to learn to love themselves

Following the behavior of one's leader is not unique to African countries, this is true around the world. It is why the Hitler-sanctioned Holocaust occurred. Also, today the US is a prime example; under Obama people behaved with more respect and courtesy, but under trump, people openly mocked and physically attacked those of a different race/ethnicity. And now infamous the US it's difficult to put the genie back in the bottle. People who engage in such behavior were just waiting for someone to give them permission to act on their baser instincts.

Mark i know the experience myself, i came to Tanzania in 2020 then went back after the great Magufuli demise. That country is definitely not the same, the leadership has definitely changed.

Wow,,Mark meets Africa is a knowledgeable guy

Man this young brother is handling his business enjoyed this video.

I agree with Mark, in African culture we are taught that what happens at home stays at home, you don't talk negatively about your family in public. But then George Floyd and social media has made Africans more aware of AA problems in the US.

❤ love you Guys....Joanita.......heeeeeeeey!!!

Grateful and understanding as possible is very key. if Black Americans behave even 30% they way they behave in America or online then there will be problems

love the program ..keep talking about the real issues people issues .wow iam learning a lot from watching

Ms. Maaya looks amazing!

African Americans should coordinate to have a representation in the AU. I think that will be a good start.

The light-skinned guy said someone called him a slave in Tanzania. Whoever called him a slave probably don't know their history. Much of Africa was enslaved by Europeans. I don't think one slave can be better than the other lol. Slavery is slavery.

MARC is very articulate young man.

I’ve noticed that about Tanzania when the Great Leader was killed! The shift ‼️

Excellent show.

i love the way he adopted the culture ,the way is humble respect Mark

Good show oshay

@21:30 “Nah dis be Africa A Black Beauty” 💯💯💯💯

I really like this young man

Marc is right, the country has shifted so much and unfortunately, he is right. Things are not the way they were 8 years ago.

i have experienced a lot with online friends and more so with an african american i helped relocate to kenya but i just wish he made friends first and understoodthe people here before he came to a point of even insulting me and telling me that he is an american from the most powerful continent. But my question in my mind coz i never answered him back is then why did he leave his continent to come live here......??????

Now in regards to the telling of our plight in America…I would have to disagree with the notion of not telling people how it really is over there. It has to be understood that we are the same people…especially those of us from Bantu lineage. I’ve heard it said that because of 400 plus years of separation that we are basically different peoples. One may change your diet, language, customs, and names. But what they can’t change is your Spirit and your DNA. We all have a common enemy…those that enslaved the ones they took and those that colonized them that remained. We are not separate “races” or “nations” we are the sons and daughters of their ancestors. And when we collectively realize what they did and what they are doing…Africa will rise.

I’ve been warning people for years that never bad mouth America in Africa.I’ve seen too many people become victims by people who think we are weak and destitute.It’s just like anything you don’t go to a club and tell women you can’t find anyone because they will look down on you.

Magufuli was the best president for Tanzania. Now, we have a lady president who has undone Magufuli's legacy and encouraged hate, stealing, lies and corruption. Mark, you got it right 100%

Love Mark ❤

The problem with our bros from abroad is that they don't adapt quickly to our African culture. They want to live as if they were in the States. Most of them have no plan to develop the mother land

To me mark is still very young but l can tell you his inteligents is on onother level

Mark is right, JPM had a very different vision for the country and saw something different and big. I am Tanzanian in the diaspora and I can also attest that now things are very bad, I had an interesting experience with some government officials who basically claimed that unless I bribe them, i was not going to get some permits that I was seeking. I was mad! All this have also to do with a colonial trauma that we haven't really dealt with since independence.
