"No no no no".... like Amy Winehouse once sang. Too many issues. As many have mentioned.... land is valued highly...... maybe not as high as it should. A community may be "donated" to create a much-needed development in the surroundings .... but self-rule, no natives around...... that's way too too far. Our governments may be corrupt but not stupid!!! Creating another Old-style Zimbabwe, na na. Even Israel with the support of the Intl committee is still not settled decades later. I pose a question to Blyss...... Rather than "invading" extremely mineral rich central African region filled with guerilla groups and commandos for sale.... why not get some land in the US.... you have more claim there... you have been resident there for hundreds of years now, Or some arid land in the middle of Sahara desert. Then I'll try to see this as a genuine return to the motherland and not a pseudo-way of black in white supremacy land grab. West Africans may be peace loving but are beginning to wise up. Invasions by powers in Arab lands have been less successful as compared to Liberia. We are observing proceedings elsewhere. Don't think you can do a 'Ghaddafi" on us and not get reprisals..... I appreciate that Intl relations are a bit more convoluted but it still remains an emotive subject!!!! 8 Likes 1 Share |

Blyss:This sound self centered to me. If they cannot associat with their brothers here in Africa then let them stay back there and continue facing the racial discrimination. We need employment let them come and build industries. We need their intelect to better the countries in Africa and not their seperate country. We need their experience they should not b selfish with it. 2 Likes 1 Share |

i was about the fourth or fifth person to respond to this thread then i was so in support of it but after reading a rather arrogant statement from blyss in which he said they could become "the most progressive black country on the continent..." i got pissed off immediately. No need to bash you but just know that you need to change that kind of thinking. 2 Likes |

Why should they move when more Africans are moving to America. Even if they were to move, where exactly will they be moving to? Africa is a continent and not a country. |

Blyss:Critically examining the information you provided in the last paragragh,i would say it seems most AAs lack both identity and culture.Note, indigenous africans would find insulting and offensive your intentions to buy off a piece of their land just so you can be all by your self.In African culture,a pure breed african will be suspiciousof you if he offers you food as a visitor in his house and you reject it only to buy from vendors outside while still logding with him,he will sooner throw you out of his house. 1 Like |

MsDarkSkin: yes this inbred coon did say that!! my eyes did not deceive me. sadly. not sure what makes you think AAs/Caribs owe you anything or need anything from you. Perhaps I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning but this akata crap is getting old right now. You act like we came on the ships willingly or migrated west via plane. FOH. YES!! We are mixed! Blame your kind 600 years ago who sold each other out. We didn't ask to be here. No we don't have tribes--DON'T NEED THEM!! You all do and what has it done for you?! Are you not still in Oyinboland?! Not America..na UK you dey!! Na lie?! Oh ok!! As far as I am concerned you have nothing to do with central africa or us for that matter yet your obsession with anything "akata" continues. Anyway!! I wish any repatriate luck! People like Pagan9ja have completely turned me off as far as Africa is concerned. TBH. though i like this post frm the begining it made me cry a little... Buh the last part is not rational... So u want everyone to support the idea ryt? by the way akata is not an insult ... Red-Light:and AKATA REMAINS AKATA though am about to marry one. |

What the hell do they mean by they don't want any African natives there? The sense in which it is used sounds derogatory. Its obvious these guys are coming here to practice the kind of racism they learnt in America. Not really bothered because this stupid idea wont see the light of day 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Coming back to resettle won't be easy and the host will never accept their condition. The only way for some to return and resettle is if we hv a stable government,good roads,constant electricity and good security in the country. If they wl be given the same right as a citizen wtout discrimination,it wl be possible. |

Blyss: I personally know of many well off Black-Americans and Afro-Caribbeans who have stated that they wouldn't mind moving their families and business operations to Africa and this includes me as well, but one major hang up is a strong lack of acceptance to live under African rule. Now you can call this bigoted or hateful in some other fashion, but in all reality the majority of the reasoning expressed in regard to the issue, were not so much bigoted as apposed to being simply being of a mind set of wanting to fully control the surroundings of their operations. Hmm interesting, but what African Americans & African Caribbeans should know that moving back to africa to live is not that hard as they make it out to be. First they should connect with the Community-Commerce or Culltural centre of the country they want to move back to stay Tanzania, Nigeria or Ghana in the America or Europe. The truth of the matter is that most of the African Americans & Caribbeans i know that have moved back to Ghana, Nigeria or Namibia, Tanzania are doing very well. They are accepted, have built good businesses and have been embraced fully. I have an african american friend in Ghana who have moved out their with his family and some friends. They are working in the New Oil/Gas industry there and also export and process agricutural products. They are doing great and they have also opened up opportunities for local ghanians and are helping african americans in the states who are now marketing, doing admin and other logisitics for the products being sold from Ghana. Its a win win! If you are an African American or African Caribbean and your focused about your life and bring value to the economic table in Africa, you will be embraced fully, The locals will respect and revere you Big-time!!! I know of an African American man that came to Nigeria as an expate in the Construction industry and has his own construction companies now in Tanzania and Ghana. After he finished his contract in Nigeria, he moved to Tanzania with his family. He also partnerss with Nigeria construction companies doing consultancy on projects in Kaduna and Ogun state. Everybody likes a good thing ! The Caribbeans and African Americans that i know of in Africa came with hardly anything but their Skills, Knowledge and determination and they have become very successful and have helped the local economies. I am working with African Americans now who are my advisers on my Education and Real Estate projects in Nigera & two other west African countries. The African American consultancy is based in Forest Lake illinois in the States. They have come out to Nigeria as i have hosted them and their business links has been growing. African Americans & African Caribbeans are our brothers and african as a continent by potential is a 50 trillion dollar economy. We need to start building bridges and get rid of the ignorant walls. 5 Likes |

Now you can call this bigoted or hateful in some other fashion, but in all reality the majority of the reasoning expressed in regard to the issue, were not so much bigoted as apposed to being simply being of a mind set of wanting to fully control the surroundings of their operations. In Regards to the Bold part about African Americans wanting to buy out a stretch of Land say like Part of Angola or Congo. Thats a Dumb move, it does not make sense and it would be stupid to do. Africans what fellow africans coming back to Africa be they African American, African Caribbean or Africans that left various countries like Nigeria Ghana etc who are now coming back to intergrate and help the economies. The truth is that if African Americans or African Caribbeans what to buy land, that not the issuem as i know of African Americans that have came to Nigeria to buy land and the Land owners in the villages, towns they went to gave them the land for "rock bottom prices" and even on two occassions as a Free-Lease to use for Agriculture and other developments that will benefit themselves and the local community. What african Africans should realise is that if they come to Africa with a solid plan to acquire Land to do business to prosper themselves and the community around them by adding value they will always be embraced. The Buying of Land to be an exclusive right of returnee's is not rational as why do you want to segregate yourself from your own people. Especially when Africans in the home land will be the the No.1 people to Welcome African Americans or Caribbeans. The truth about the matter is what my African Americans or African Caribbeans friends who live in africa have told me is that they noticed that when they came to Africa people there did not pre-judge them based on their COLOUR OF SKIN AND THAT WHERE THE REALISATION THAT I CAN BE ACCEPTED HERE DAWNED ON THEM AND HELPED THEM SOCIALLY TO BUILD A LIFE BACK HOME!!! 2 Likes |

You all must be mad. You want to come to Africa & have a "special land" for yourself where you run your own government & don't allow Native Africans in? You guys had better carried your lands with you from wherever you're coming from & attach it to the African map cos right now,there's no free space on the African map for good for nothing African American goats who think they are better than native Africans & want their own "special" countries & government. If you guys want to come back to Africa to mix into the African population,that's good but if you guys want a special country because your slave-asses think you're better than native Africans,then you guys had better stay wherever you are at & worship your slave-masters forever. Blacks are the most foolish people I know. Why would fellow blacks think they are better than fellow blacks? It's this kind of mentality that had us enslaved in the first place & we still haven't learnt shyte centuries after. Oh! You guys are better than native Africans? Why then are ALL black nations of the world 3rd world countries including those in the "mighty west" like Jamaica,Haiti,Trinidad & Tobago, etc. LIBERIA IS A COUNTRY THAT FREE RETURNEE AMERICAN SLAVES (just like your African-American friends) RETURNED TO (this is why Liberia was never colonized & has a national flag similar to the American flag),YET THAT COUNTRY IS ONE OF THE COUNTRIES IN AFRICA THAT HAS SUFFERED THE MOST INSTABILITY WITH A SLIM HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. Rather than us uniting & building ourselves & our race,we'd stay & be fighting each other like goats. " I'm hausa,you're Igbo,screw yoruba people, I'm African-American,you're native African,I'm light-skinned,you're dark-skinned." What the fukkh? Can't we learn to live as ONE GREAT BLACK PEOPLE? We really have serious psychological problems honestly. God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Amen. God Bless mama Africa. Amen. 10 Likes 2 Shares |
