You don't have to get everyone but you will get the people who were debating going back to put in more effort, and you will also get some AA to really consider the idea
this in no way is an loss.

I mean that could be because most AAs aren't from or have any familial ties to Africa. How is that an indictment on people who were born in America?
This poster is asking the right questionsPardon my unintentional ignorance but does Ghana have consistent electricity and things like Amazon Prime? Also if a breh has excellent credit and never planned on returning to the US, can you technically take out a $100,000 loan here in the states and never pay it back if you put the money in a Ghana bank account?
I think they will be initially, before the formal rollout
For anyone interested in TV production. I'm gonna talk to my Brother tomorrow, he lives in Gambia( his Mom is Gambian), and basically is a producer for the Gambian version of MTV.
Any questions your want me to ask him. Please feel free.

My homegirl did the one last year and got in. You’re going to make some sacrifices but for peace of mind, I’d be willing to do it

Sometimes I wonder what my mental wellbeing would be like if I was living and surrounded by only black people everyday
I wish Africa had one currency so we could really unite and tell these other countries to fukk off and stop trying to use our culture for their own profit
Shout out to Ghana, I wish Nigeria could do better but that's a whole different thread
Living in a huge predominantly Black suburb like PG County all my life is one thing but to go to a country where damn near all you see are beautiful Black faces every single day, in a predominantly Black continent no less
Closest I’ve ever gotten to that so far outside the US are The Bahamas and St. Maarten

Nana Obokese Ampah, the CEO of a Year of Return Legacy Project and the Asebu Pan African Village Project underscored the urgent need for a full-fledged Pan African Higher Institute of learning where students are guided to their fullest potentials minus any form of manipulation.
The founder of the Obokese University of Excellence said, “During these uncertain times of Covid-19, it is crucial, now more than ever, that we create legacies of educational institutions to move beyond the crisis, embrace substance, elevate our people, and prepare for the future success of society.
“Hereby, the creation of Obokese University, created in Ghana, as a part of the Year of Return Legacy, is a call to encourage all African descendants throughout the diaspora to come together to build the homeland,” he said.
He added, “President Nana Akufo-Addo created the ‘Year of Return’, an unprecedented initiative last year, and this is part of his vision for ‘Beyond the Year of Return’, hence the creation of this noble higher learning educational institute.”
Obokese University of Excellence will begin operations on September 21, 2020, with course in e-Commerce, Leadership and Education, Engaging Culture, History, Technology, and Tourism.
It will initially be an online digital platform with among others, master classes; tours and event experiences as well as web-based learning/development offerings. As it grows, the university will roll out its formal course offerings.
The Obokese University will include among others, the following platforms: An Afrocentric focused entrepreneurial, educational, cultural and historical institution.
It will also include leadership Masterclasses and certifications including; business, political science, African history, business/entrepreneurship etc.

Look up Ashesi University, started by a Ghanian that made a fortune in tech. They are putting in work.

Which is a good point. For people who don't think the Africa move is for them, the Caribbean Islands still need development too though the problems are different. Transition is probably a lot easier too.

Not an indictment per say but more of a reality-check. 'Africa' is often claimed sort of as a prop of cultural identity/pride but I think there's a clear disconnection between the mental image/affect ADOS have of the continent and its history its people its challenges and more importantly its promises.
Africa is the future and it would be a shame if ADOS aren't part of it. It's as if most have just mentally checked out.
I get that and agree with you but I was referring to actual the marketing, promotion, initiatives in place, from a country such as Ghana to the rest of the black diaspora from around the globe. True we could always travel to African States for years now but when we were young we were so ignorant about the continent because our schools, media, and such told us so but now with the internet, different news sources, better travel, black folks getting passports, etc. Now were starting to get a better movement going and a country actually speaking out and promoting the ideal to black Americans to "come home" is a big step forward in the right direction. America kinda weened us on hating Africa while growing up. There's alot of Black Americans who still think we aren't welcomed there and we would be shunned for being American. Ghana stepping up with these programs, statements, and initiatives, opens up the eyes and ears and breaks down a lot of walls mentally and physically for the diaspora.
