Selamte my Lord

Question: If you were to prove your Ghanaian ancestry- through modern DNA analysis and geneaology, and that entitled you to a plot in the Ashanti region, would you still pursue the Shashamane agenda?

In my country for example, I have a hereditary right to land in my tribal area in the north east. No one, not even the State can take that one away from me. In fact, being of the ruling clan, if I were to become a chief or the King himself, I would be the one to parcel out the land.

However, there is also land which is open to general lease or purchase, for big farms or smaller plots. And land in the urban areas is also open to general purchase. There is no reason why someone coming from abroad can not get some of this.

What I see in many Blacks in the West is that they don't really want to live in Africa for all their talk. I have heard this also from those that have repatriated, the people they left behind in the West still have misconceptions about Africa. I have met Jamaicans who are under the delusion that if they went to Africa, they would be worshipped as gods, coming as they were from the White man's country......

I think that you have hit the nail on the head- those that are genuine about repatriation will just hop on the next plane to Africa, instead of making noise. How many Jamaicans have left their island for the US and UK?

People need to choose, do they want to be African or not.
