Great video, and unfortunately, we will sacrifice our own for the benefit of those who care less about us. That is sadly the African mind. Once you bring out the issues that we have, you are seen as a traitor, yet we do nothing to improve our own relations. It makes absolutely no sense to have so many struggles between African countries. Sad reality, but hiding the truth serves no purpose either. You are the modern day Patrice Lumumba.

You need to visit songwe border (Tanzania crossing to Malawi) on the Malawi side and expose the corruption with the immigration officers there. I almost spend a full day there because I refused to bribe. I had all the documents needed for me to cross to Malawi.was a bad experience coz I had a baby with me plus her documents too .

This man has a heart of a lion!!! I'm from America and he deserves the upmost respect.

I'm Kenyan, One time like 4 years ago I went on a road trip with my friends and ended up at the Tanzanian border at Taveta/Holili. On a whim we decided that we would ask Tanzanian immigration if they can let us pass (We had no passports, only IDs) so we can visit the nearest Tanzanian town get lunch, drink some Tanzanian beers then come back before the day was over. Guess what!? They told us they would let us in with a permit for 8 hours if we leave our car on the Kenyan side and took a Tanzanian rental/Taxi/public transport... Long story short we had one of the craziest 8hrs in a foreign country, we got so wasted we almost got lost on our way back to the Kenyan border. We did not bribe anyone! On our way back even the Kenya immigration officials were surprised, they were like, 'So they let you in just like that?' and we were like, 'yeah, we asked really nicely'. That's the kind of brotherhood/sisterhood that Africa needs.

Easy guys, Calm down. Borders will still exist in Africa. Africa has 55 independent Countries with Elected Presidents. Each country in Europe, Asia, North America and South America have borders with different rules and regulations in order to get in. All of the countries in the World you Must show some type of documents needed and many you will pay fees to in. For africa all is Needed is investment in these borders like computerized systems for payments, scanning documents, and so forth. Borderless Africa means One Currency, Uniform Constitution and more. Remember Africa with over one Billion people and over 2000 different speaking tongues ( dialects ) Around 10 million people Speak and understand English, But yet we are trying to fight back by using English. Swahili spoken by over 200 Bantu Africans yet we're not promoting it, or Using it enough. Our Swahili Speaking Presidents who are 7 of them yet when they go to the UN they give their speeches in English. And here I am typing in English so, I can connect with Wode Maya Audience. Pamoja sana , Amani Kwa wote.

You need to do a documentary in Nigeria, Ikoyi passport office, they make sure you pay a compulsory bride which is more than double the official price for obtaining the passport. If you don't pay this compulsory bribe fee, your passport won't be processed by the immigration officers the strategy they use is to tell you your passport isn't ready yet even if it exceeds the collection date they gave you while others that pay the bribe get theirs before yours

So many governments in African countries need a Wode Maya... this dude has the charisma of a good politician. People are seperated and he brings them together. Plus, he is truly passionate for a greater Africa.

I’ve been a subscriber and fan of yours for several years now Wode Maya. You always bring such optimism and passion to your work. As an AA Diasporan, it sincerely hurts my heart to see us as Africans and Afro Descendants in the Diaspora going through so much bs unnecessarily. It’s hard enough dealing with the anti-blackness biases and racist attitudes from other countries outside of the continent and in America, but another layer of bs from our own folks added to it is just too much. Europeans don’t put each other through this. I feel that It should be the same for Africa and its scattered children.

This boy from Ghana was sent by God to unite Africa, this boy is undoubtedly the voice of Africa, this boy will surely change the perspective of Africans, Finally, this genius Ghana boy may not know how kenyans love him, go, the unity of Africa is in ur hands. Love from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

This video really shows the mental slavery and the way hate is embedded into society in which Melanated people reside 😢. As a Jamaican I am touched by Wode Maya’s passion for the Continent of Africa to see SENSE. I truly love the video and how he stood up for what is right. Poverty does not have to give birth to greed and bribery!! If there is free movement then money will be made and each family would live above the poverty line. The same goes for the Caribbean Community and honestly if as Caribbean’s we see unity in the Motherland all would pack there bags and return.😢 Thank you Wode Maya

Thank you for making “border free” a conversation across the continent! One Africa. 🖤

This situation is horrible and those people needs to be held accountable .

Keep doing what your doing. I can not wait to come home to Mother Africa. It is a dream of mine. Stay safe on your many journeys. Blessings from America

The Honourable Member of Parliament should be praised for her being Outspoken critic on such a sensitive matter. God bless you Mum , you are true African Mother.

Stand your ground and elevate the standard of transparency. Don't let this bribing cancer continue. Aya Maya!

"We're no better than you, you're no better than us. We're one". This statement really hit me hard. It's so sad to see such things happening between us fellow african brothers. Slavery unfortunately left the form of chains to become mental. This absolutely has to change and instead of blaming governments, let's first start by changing paradigms and mentalities.

Thank you so much brother for fighting for the motherland. You had the money but chose not to pay. That’s the exact way to stop this corruption. Imagine if every single person there had teamed up and said they’re not going to pay a dime. Sometimes we the citizens are the ones that do encourage bribery and corruption. Stay blessed bro

Kudos to you Wode Maya, thanks for the exposure. It's so sad these things keeps repeating in Africa at this era. Africa must change and grow.

Woda Maya, I am a Sierra Leonean living in Houston Texas .I have been watching your videos about two years now thanks to my wife who forced me to start watching your videos on ' Changing the Africa narratives". You are the reason why I am now working on investing in my country and working on taking my family to tour the continent very soon. If African leaders mean business they should 100% support your work..Only God will bless you and your family for the sacrifices you are making to connect us and making us think about going back home. Most of us to be honest had given up..because we are tired of the issues we go through when you go back and tries to do things..The corruption, bad roads, stinky attitudes of those in offices and so much more... You are a hero for mama Africa and all government officers of every African country if they mean good for their countries in general and mama Africa in particular should embrace you and encourage more youths that are so passionate about uniting all children of mama Africa and changing the narratives of how the world view Africa in a negative light which is why we are treated like nobodies around the world. Me and my family adore you so much Thank you Woda Maya🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Please don't give in continue the great work you are doing our hero!

WODE_MAYA👏 Almost every African traveller experience this. I remember travelling with my brother from Togo to Ghana and at the ghana border, the immigration officer said we should pay 20 cedis which is the same 2000 fr and my brother said we don't have money and the officer said we should put our bags down and go inside one empty room that he showed us. It was crazy... Thanks for this video, you deserve the best African promotion awards from both diaspora & African Union. 👏👏👏

Thank you so much for doing the right thing and sharing your experience, so hopefully it brings attention to those issues and that we as a people respect each other. Those border officers would probably make a decent living if they could get tips and donations instead of trying to extort their own people. Someone mentioned tolls and that is yet another reasonable way to go about it instead of this reprehensible behavior by those border officers, making elders wait and aggravating them.

They were messing with the wrong grannies. These grannies have gone through many trials and tribulations from the states. They know their rights and they are persistent. They know how to fight.

Wods, you have me in tears. I am an African American who has been taking the steps to reclaim my African heritage as many of us are doing now.

The limitations and restrictions in Africa to have continuity in utility services, fair food prices, government services for the poor, disabled, free quality education, a lack of government corruption, etc. America isn't a perfect country but it provides all of the necessities of like in a reasonable process and there are social services that help the poor and disabled. I pray that Africa and the entire world are able to move beyond the vestige's of bondage left by the colonialist and from slavery.

I'm planning my third trip to east Africa and I would advise you not to look to deep into your tribal DNA. We Afro Americans/Caribbeans are a mix of West African tribes. I don't know if you've visited the continent before because as you can see from this vlog tribalism can & has been a weakness for as well as a source of strength for Africans. This has nothing to do with colonisation. Your tribal heritage can determine your life chances just like being black can in the West.

Please don’t blame anybody for Africa problems. Enough is enough. We need to face our problems and find a solution.

I always want to thank Brother Wode for being honest about the reality and being on the side of the truth. Rise up Africa.

Shout-out to those Grandmas for their bravery and not afraid to speak out to the corrupt authorities of the border!

I got goosebumps watching this video. As an African woman I felt every inch of emotion the diaspora ladies in the video carried. Africans together lets change the narrative. Africa to the world.

On my first visit to Ghana in 2008 I was made to pay £20 bribe yet Zim has a gratis visa from Ghana. Thereafter I stood my ground and do not pay anymore. Nice work Maya!

Watching this breaks my heart. We were supposed to be free in our own country. Things need to be changed!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Continue to speak up, and speak up loud! It's digusting, and all to often, when any of us speak up about problems we create for ourselves, people spray curses and accusations of self-sabatoge. More of us MUST SPEAK UP LOUD!

I'm Jamaican watching from another country. This was infuriating. I tell you though... like them or not you've got to give it to the Americans... they speak up and fight for their rights. That's the main thing I like about Americans. Notice too that these are elderly American women, as one of them pointed out. Can you imagine these women fighting for freedom and equality in America and going back to Africa to have to do the same? Wow! Where does it end?

I went through the same thing at the same border. God bless you Maya for boldly exposing their evil deeds.

Well, how about this? I am a Cameroonian holding Cameroon passport. I have been living oversea for years. After I landed at Douala Airport, I was asked to show my " Carte de sejour " or pay money. I told them that I am Cameroonian and I have Cameroon Passport though. They didn't wanna hear anything. I was pissed off, mad like hell. I had to call my high school class friend who happened to be "a commissaire divisionnaire de police" who called their boss. Those crook officers finally let me go. They were not happy that I did so. Terrible crook officers!

I almost choked when she said they are gone for so long lol as if!

I have a Jamaican born friend who tried crossing the border 15 years ago and experienced the same thing. She said the absolute worst of the Jamaican side of her came personality came out and was on full display. They allowed her to cross without anymore problems

Thank you soooooo much WADE MAYA, you are a GOD sent to all black people all over the world. I really appreciate you WODA MAYA, proudly Nigerian 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

It's the final frontier! The borders come down and sky's the limit. Thanks for sharing in such an emphatic and passionate way. Keep shining the light 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

We are our own enemy. Making things right in this world is a challenge. Fighting our own to make things get better. Maya is doing a lot but it’s sad there’s not much he can do about it

So sorry you went through this ordeal brother....Our own continent confuses me sometimes 🤦‍♂️...be strong Maya..👊

It so sad that this is happening. My elder sister's who always go to Togo to trade has to pass through bushes to avoid this chaos. If there decides to pass through immigration, their goods get seized and they have to pay almost half of the amount they used for buying their items. This is very sad.

Re-emerging of Kwameh Nkuruma through Wode Maya! Keep it up bro ..Bravoh

My brother, first all of sorry for what happened. I have experienced the same problem here in East Africa and I badly wanted to talk about it but I have no platform. So I ended up vigorously telling my frustrations to my wife. I almost cried. Imagine how hard it is for businesses and businessmen and women to deal with borders' constraints. it's like they have devised a system just to make things difficult so that they can make a little money without due regard to the victims. My brother, the issue here is that our leaders consider these issues as small, and they don't know how much the same affect everyday livelihood of their people. With this video I hope they get the message. As always keep up the good work.

I’ve been traveling between TOGO & GHANA now and then for more than ten years. Just the thought of crossing the AFLAO border is mentally exhausting. Even with every document at hand, the officers won’t let you pass if you don’t pay! It drives me crazy and often stops me from wanting to travel between TOGO & GHANA. It’s ridiculous!

What makes this conversation so sad?💁🏾 Is the fact that I had this SAME conversation this morning, in the Chicagoland area. The SAME sad, tiring, conversation! As Black people, why do we treat each other this way? The colonization of our minds is terrifying. We've been through too much to STILL be here! Wishing all of you peace and love. Stay Woke. Stay safe.

This got nothing to do colonization. The selfishness and greediness of the typical African is unbelievable. What has taking bribe from another African for entering your country got to do with this? This is stupid. An African can move freely in Europe than his own continent.
