Ghana Gear Up For The Year Of Return 2019


While the following practices should be a part of every day Ghanaian life, particularly for those in businesses, many seem to not give a care about repeat business or what the  Diaspora or tourist thinks and will report once they return  to their countries. 

Believe that the stigmas and negativity's propagated about Ghana/Africa will  only be heightened and validified as such as the Diasporas and tourist who have experienced  wrongful acts of dishonesty, lying, thefts,  rudeness, conning and gouging return to their countries of origin. 

Of grave concern is number nine (9) below.  Be aware that those Diaspora and tourist who are planning an extended stay, more than likely have done research and would be somewhat familiar with rental laws and costs.  Believe me when I tell you that the Rental Officers had best come up to speed, toss that 1969 booklet out that you are racially biased against Diasporas, unlawfully and ignorantly hearing cases not knowing  what amendments has been initiated. Believe, you just might  not be able to tell them to go to Trump for justice and not feel any backlash. 

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to a more acceptable concept and phrase that Ghanaians might keep in mind when dealing with those of Diaspora.  The phrase is easy to remember and will aid the Ghanaian who are tempted to use the deplorable, degrading, based and disrespectful term Obrouni.  Just remember  HUG.

The acronym HUG, was initiated and adopted by the Central Region African Ascendants Association of Ghana (CRAAAG) translates into Historically Unique Group. Those of Diaspora are indeed unique, filled with true African history and the strengths of overcoming the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the horific dysfunctions of racism even now prevalent in the US. 

Do not be fooled to think that all are still dealing with the psychological dysfunctions and injustices  perpetuated against them; or that they have not been healed or primaled spiritually or mentally. Many of us come home to "find ourselves". However, not in the way Africans perceive. Note that it was the strong, intelligent, royal and knowledgeable Africans that were taken away and made into slaves. It is the strong, intelligent, royal and knowledgeable HUG of Diasporas who are returning. We return under spritual mandate whether one is aware of it or not.  Thus, Diasporas come home to "find ourselves", that part of the African that was taken away from us that can only be restored on the holy ground of our Mother. 

Diasporas offers valuable unique insights and experiences, many not just money, some with no money; but they are the channel of the fulfillment of the end of the  400 year prophecy of bondage  for all Africans. 

Ghanaians should, therefore, show any altruistic feelings of welcoming the Diaspora by remembering to treat them with a  HUG.  Catch the vision ~  El Ahora Yah Asantewaa.

"As the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) gears up for record tourism numbers in 2019's "Year Of Return" for Diasporans, here are some suggestions for business owners. 

1) PERFECT the art and science of customer service!!  Few things are more frustrating and embarrassing than staff--including supervisors and managers--who are apathetic, rude, poor problem solvers, slothful and not willing to discount products/services to attract and retain loyal customers.

2) Chaley, train employees WELL...VERY WELL.  This is especially important for those in the hospitality industry.

3)  Abeg!!!  Repair your restrooms and keep them CLEAN, well stocked and easily accessible.

4)  Ghana!   Ghana!  Ghana!  BUY DUST BINS!!  Have an adequate amount of dust bins for customers and empty them regularly.

5) Clear debris near your place of business--especially near entrances.

6)  Make your physical space attractive, inviting with *ample seating*.

7)  Make sure your place of business is well ventilated.  Fans are a must.  Air conditioning is a luxury.

8)  For taxi drivers:  dress professionally, DRIVE PROFESSIONALLY, be professional.  Learn proper negotiation when negotiating rates.  Otherwise you will look and sound like a criminal who uses taxis to cheat people.

9)  For Landlords:  Resist the common practice of greedily gouging tenants for money.  Its YOUR property and so its YOUR responsibility to keep it well maintained for potential renters.  Rather than chop the money completely, use what's needed for upkeep of YOUR property.

10)  Last but definitely NOT least:  many more of your brothers and sisters will come this year because of the Year Of Return.  Many of them have been very badly wounded psychologically as a result of where they live.  

Their coming is not a free for all for you to prey upon them with lies, fake business deals, tricks and assorted gimmicks.  They are NOT your one-way ticket out of Ghana (by the way, America is not salvation).  

If its sex you want--and many of you will want it--then state your intentions plainly.  Four things will happen: yes, no, maybe, silence.  Don't lie and swear that you are in love when all you want is sex.

Not only do those coming home to visit have hearts and feelings, they have technology.  Specifically, they have social media pages, radio & television programs, blogs, magazine columns and books to write.  They have smart phones that can take your pic or take a video of you.  The power is YOURS to be a part of the good news that they're likely to share about their experiences in Ghana  or the bad news.  Its up to YOU."  ~ Written by Carnita Groves

P.S.  O, don't insult or dishonor us by thinking that we want sex or would even allow such demeaning  fruitless advances, O!  Many of us know who we are and would not lower our standards or throw our morals into the wind to degrade ourselves like that.

I SMELL A BIG FAT GHANAIAN RAT



I Am writing this for a few reasons.  Sorry to use this platform to do so.  However, If I can use this platform  to disseminate the injustices of others, surly I can use it to tell the injustices perpetuated against me and others of Diaspora. I have been quiet for too long.  I would be willing to bet that others face the same vile injustices, particularly those of Diaspora. Therefore, I write this and don’t really care if anyone thinks I should not have blogged my personal story. Perhaps I can divert the evil set-up of this rat and other jealous haters of those of  Diaspora.

An ex-Ghanaian detective, who happens to be my landlord, Prince Amoabeng who has been gouging, cheating and harassing me for two years; beat me up, then threaten me, perhaps in the wake of current events, I should  take his threats seriously.  In particularly when that individual goes out of his way to climb the neighbors Mango tree cut branches as he is perched on a branch with a birds-eye-view of my bedroom window looking at my weak naked body with  a tube running from my stomach.  In addition to sending men up on the narrow two story ledge several times after being told it was an invasion of my privacy, peering into my windows under the guise of working or picking mangoes or cutting Plantain leaves that obstruct their satellite reception or no excuse at all.   

Although law is law, Diasporas have no recourse, particularly if they do not have financial capability. Rental Office charge the Diaspora,  to lodge a complaint against a Ghanaian, although the services are free to Ghanians. 

I have made no secret of being ripped off, scammed robbed and stolen from for the four years I have been in Ghana.  I  have actually asked my readers for help because the losses I sustained at one point were devastating. Even now, I find myself playing catch-up.

The Mandate I Am on and the message I blog has attracted many haters and  those who dwell in darkness in the religious industry who teach error and false doctrines to keep the masses in darkness.   This in addition to many Africans who think that I  and other Diasporas are rich or well off when the balance of my finances, after my  living expenses goes into proposed awakening education and enlightenment of them through this Blog and other social medias. 

This seems to be the thing some Ghanaians do; many scam and lie, some unaware they they lack basic moral values. Ghanians are responsible for the poverty and destruction of Ghana.  They figure if the government do it, rip people off, they can too.  The consensus of the common people is that if you are a 'foreigner' (Obroni) you are rich and can easily replace that of which they steal. With that, there comes a point, even when you know that the law will be imputed in the Ghanaians favor,  that you must stand up to their dishonest unlawful acts, that you must stand up for what is right, just and fair no matter the cost.  This is one of those moments.

A Pastor, who declared his intentions to sponsor me, Pastor David Demordzie of Living Word Baptist Church in Cape Coast, even though he signed legal documents of Declaration in the Superior Court of Judicature in the High Court of Justice, he and an Immigration Officer did not think twice about scamming me.   Scamming, scheming, lying, dishonesty, lack of integrity and social morals seems to be ingrained in the very core of  the soul of Ghanaian society of which many cannot recognize in themselves.

Why am I doing this?  Why do I say such things?  Other than being  truth and facts, I publicize this because should those who dwell in darkness succeed at their antics against me, I want to have a publicized record. I took the only help and advice of the US Embassy and went to the police.  I  filed a police report against  Pastor David Demordzie.

I have received additional indications that my phone has been tapped and a female police officer called me in a frail idiotic attempt to set me up as either selling, buying or using drugs.  I mean, how dare me bring an accusation against one of their own although they know most of the pastors are religious shysters and most landlords are in violation of housing laws and everyone look the other way.

One  Ghanaian feigning to be my friend who took me to the police department call me questioning me in an perturbing manner to get information while the ‘beeping’ sound, so familiar to the 911 calls in the US, of a police recorded call sounded in my ear.  Not to mention that I did not pay the officer a bribe under the table, which I was reminded a few times and even talked face to face with the individual telling him why I did not give the officer money. 

This wanting and collecting money from the public  is customary to Ghanaians, for people to do the job they are getting paid to do.  Many collect these monies at police  barricades,  government offices and many places of business; they want more money from you for doing a job they are getting paid to do.

Anyway, I was made to feel like I was the accused at the last officers questioning.  Not saying all officers are like him. Not saying all Africans  take bribes.  Not saying all government offices or all officers at barricades collect undue monies. However, I just have not experienced otherwise and have seen it happen over and over again.  I must say that my initial contact with one of the Commanders and a Department head that I felt  were genuinely altruistic and professional.

Now I know what it sounds like to many of you. Your question is why stay in Ghana?  In particular when Ghanaians do not want Diasporas here and have a warped Western concept of us?  My answers are:  Everyone in Ghana is not in darkness or evil.  As a Moorish National, I have a right to live anywhere in the world I’d like.  I have inherent rights as a human being. I have godly rights. I have a living lawful right under any  State Law and International Law not to have my human rights violated. Yes, even in Africa, my Mother Land, especially in Africa. 

However, most importantly, is that the African Ancestors who drew me to Ghana as with all those of Diaspora I know, has  given a divine mandate from the Most High Creator G-D with a message of Restoration.  This message would free Africans and deliver them from darkness, poverty and chaos to true freedom.

Of course the message of Restoration is rejected by African  leaders of Western ideologies because they would loose  control and influence over the simple minded, uneducated and those who awaken who SANKOFA  and return to true African Spirituality. It is rejected by dark greedy  religious leaders because truth will deplete their tithes and offerings and they too will lose their feigned credibility.  It is rejected by other entities because it will wake the people up to their inherent rights, therefore, no longer easily persuaded to partake in illegal antics. Sadly, it is rejected by the majority of the people because they are afraid to come out of the darkness they have dwelt in for over 400 years  and you put nothing in their outstretched hands.

Therefore, what do you do?  Do you fulfill your Life-Purpose of releasing love, light and compassion or do you allow darkness to overtake you?  Do you compromise godly morals, values and truth to submit to a shameful lessor way of life and lower life form?

I have tried to protect the image of Africa by not publishing the many flaws of the masses dark characteristics that would verify the worlds popular negative views of Africa.  And because there is an entire segment of educated, intelligent, awakened  and enlightened professional Africans with morals, great honesty and integrity who pay for the dishonesty and lack of integrity of their countrymen.
 
However, I have worked tirelessly for four years.  I have been releasing messages of hope, life, love and morals.  I will continue to plant those seeds of righteousness in a dark land.  Sadly, I see no other alternative but to publish this Blog.  Perhaps someone will see and recognize the error of their ways or the “set-up” will be stepped up or foiled. Perhaps the governments and the people will take another look at the dysfunctions and the worlds view of Africa to  make an honest effort to change the way they do things.  Perhaps they will appoint supervising agencies for accountability and culpability.   Either way, truth and justice must and will come to light.

It’s either Restoration or judgment as a result of  negative dark thoughts and actions.  You can believe that change is going to come.

Catch the vision.  I have nothing to give but to release love, light and compassion.

Emancipation Day 2018 Ghana


The 20th year celebration launch of Emancipation Day in Ghana is off to a great start! Stay tuned for updates and a schedule of events.



Other than the Panafest celebrations, Emancipation Day is also a festival, organized in Ghana, to celebrate the emancipation of slaves. Emancipation Day is an annual event in Ghana, the Black Star of Africa and the gateway to the Homeland of people of African descent in the Diaspora.

Emancipation was originally celebrated in the Caribbean to commemorate the final abolition of Chatel Slavery in the British colonies on 1st August 1834.

Emancipation Day celebration will be attended by Diasporas and Africans from around the world.  It will climax with a grand durbar of the chiefs.
