Jamaican moved to Ghana to build a school, apartments and a restaurant

African history is world history believe it or not the moment I came to Africa I was able to maintain the physical I see European come here and they make it because they show Mama Africa love Africa is like a beautiful woman I can't afford her but by sitting across the road and watch her coming out and going in every day is joy to my soul welcome to Legacy Gardens Cafe with time I've come to realize that moving to Ghana from the West eventually favors those who are willing to roll up their sleeves and getting their hands dirty in this video I speak to nwam a Jamaican yes a Jamaican who moved to Ghana from UK with a plan of cycling to Kinshasa but eventually settled in Ghana after coming to terms with how long and treacherous the journey would be driving trotor local buses and even owning several of them at some point nanak kuami with the help of his wife has managed to build Legacy Garden Apartment A green holiday space in Acra a school and a vegetarian restaurant this is a success story of humble beginnings you will be inspired for me I would live in Africa in any condition do you think you would have achieved this if you were still in London no my name is Mickey keep watching welcome thank you very much thank you very much for hosting us Umami yes sir well from what I know of you you originate from Jamaica I've never seen any Jamaican called nwam how did you get the name nwam okay I came here back in 19 89 ending and I was working and I had a trip to Kumasi to the Mena Palace and when I went to the Mena Palace I didn't go in with the visits I stayed in the transport because I'm just a driver and then aukari the second second he sent to call me because I was outside and the people outside said oh there's a Jamaican sitting outside eating K they never see a Jamaican eating K before so he sent to call me and I said tell the the messenger that I'm not going in I don't want to go in I'm okay here messenger turned to me and says uh when the king's called you must obey okay I says okay and I went in and he looked at me and he said whatsoever I want I can ask and well I wouldn't tell you what to ask for anyway he did deliver all right and he turned to me and he said your spirit is like nanami you have that ancient SP that ancient leader of anient Ghana Kingdom all right there's a narmi who when Ghana wasn't not here but I think up up northwest Africa was a ruler very powerful ruler so he gave me that name he says yes that Spirit you carry is like Nan that Asian Ghan so this is spiritual then this is complete nice so you said you came to Ghana in um October October between October 15 to October ending all right what year was that 1989 1989 why why Ghana well a series of incident happened in London um I was in London I just give you a sh this one evening I was coming from West narwood drive down I think Brockwell Park coming into brickton and I pick up a tail it was about 11 10:30 11:00 in the night I pick up a tail somebody was following me and when I came down to realon road to turn on to kellet's Road and then I take the second left the car was still behind me so I stopped the car and came out to ask what's your problem but when I came out to ask what the problem to my surprise it was two white boys and I saw in one of them because how I park I park so that the street light could shine on the car and how I parked when I came out to talk to the boy I saw that one of them had a gun wow so when I saw the gun well now everything collaps even the street of Park and I forget the where I was everything collaps and I just after that incident that was a Sunday evening the Monday morning I went to topam court Road I didn't go to work I went straight to topown Cod there was a travel agent up there and I asked him could you give me a plan ticket to Africa please wow he says which part of Africa me said any place and he said there's a flight flying out next Tuesday to Ghana said where gyana said no Ghana say okay that sound good so I went back I realized that Ghana is this is it West Africa I said no problem and when I came in that's was when all My Story begins wow yes so I came in at about a week that was the Sunday the following Tuesday follow week Tuesday I was flying into Ghana so most of us that that is very ballsy like you know just to get up from from you know the place that you've probably grown in London and then just to come to a place that you don't know most of us it takes us so long for us to plan how was your Landing like when you get to Ghana how was life like when I get to Ghana well it was surprising it was like Jamaica's in the 1930s and 20s okay yes it was like it did it wasn't it wasn't made it was just raw raw okay yes it was just raw even til it paper self you know tilet paper it wasn't here unless those newspaper we I use yes so everything was and I was the only good thing about when I touched down here that yoke of bondage that's yoke that holds me for Generation it have broken free is like my hand was like this for generation and then all in a sudden I come off the plane and that yoke was open and that's you know when you you've arrived yes then you can breathe freely and calmly you're not tense anymore all that tenseness has dropped and I was shocked and I was surprised and I was worried that how I'm going to because only here for 3 weeks I'm going off to Congo to brazaville okay so you came brazille King Shasha K yes so you you came for a short time for a short time so since I make it here then I might as well go I have connection in King Shasha because the girl I was with she's from King Shasha okay yes so I was going to go to her parents place and wait for her down there in King Shasha but um after riding through Ghana for 3 months I realized that I haven't even reach the Border I didn't even reach t Okay after 3 months then I said this is useless because i' haven't left Ghana yet and I'm supposed to be in King Shasha in 6 months and I haven't left Ghana so there's no way I'm going to able to ride bicycle all that way down so you were going to try and do it what on on road and yes on the bicycle I just take my compass get the direction and decide to go towards all right like West Central and try to to steal my way into King Shasha because it's one big land yeah yeah it's only divided by rivers and mountains how did you get that idea to do what to to go to use your bicycle to go across Africa because I ride bicycle from point to neg point in Jamaica ah and that take me a couple of hours but I didn't expect that riding for 3 months on the road and still haven't reached GH B when I thought to myself ah by now I must been in common if I'm not in Cameroon qu I must be in Nigeria so I have to find some place where I find a new map because during the time I was moving through the bushes even half of the time I had to carry my bicycle on my back because there was no Road when they reach going through Jess from the VTA region going over taking the bush and I was going east then I had to change route because I was low on water so I had to find where the vter river was again are some tributaries and to collect water so when I reach a place called b b yeah yes B I decide that make I find a petrol station so I can get a new map that was when I realized that hey so how I from GH they say you haven't reach said where is say halfway to the to the Border I said what for three months three moons I haven't reached anywhere so I just reach B jump on bicycle come back to Kumasi cross through um obasi to to central region to Cape coast and then here was so from the bicycle so I Fold It Up was a muddy Fox I was one of the first mountain bike here in Ghana okay fold it up and put it on a state transport back to a c wow how are you sleeping Bing eating eating I never eat K before but when I was on the journey and I meet people on the journey some people give me some K and I said no meat no fish said no meat no fish and I had the K in the bag but generally I was I would pick casava m M but I wouldn't take it with me I would make my fire I had firewood in my bag so I read some part up in the vter region wherein I didn't see nobody no farm for about two or 3 days I didn't have any contact with people so that's the first time I eat K as for the bath thing the river the water tributaries it wasn't a problem as for the sleeping I had a soldier sleeping back M yeah it's I just figured to myself that how my spirit was atas the physical didn't mean anything to me but the first night I put down to sleep I didn't sleep well because you could see that this place was inhabited before but it's like some animal come and destroy what was the problem why there's no inhabitants so that night I didn't sleep well and keep watch the second night I was too tired to keep watch so I slept I wake up nothing happened the third night I slept even more knew so there was no problem I just take it in my head that if animals goats Lambs cows they can go through these places and survive dogs and why am I so bad lucky that me I'm the one that these things would have happen and truly I had no no fear at all so so when did you or how did you just start you know becoming permanent after the ride after some months I was back here in Acra sometime in January I was back in Acra and the chairman Rollings he gave the rest of and some land at amami here F here and um do so I I heard of them so I came back and went to inquire I pr of fact I heard of them between Kumasi and keep Co so hey so you those part of those R people said which R people those R people in ACA and said no no but I would I know now so I find find them out and then I I was with them from February 1990 until yes yes so you you got your land and yeah that that that land where was on that land I was on that was given to us by chairman rings but this land where you come so they have while I was with them this was all bush went down to the train line and the place we had at AI Kung Fu when we come from AI Kung Fu and weekends to go to meetings on Sabbath we would carry casava casava stick fire wood fruits and we would carry on our ahead and when we reach puki at the chief house because I think he was the only house in puki would leave our things at the chief house and carry on to a m then send some help from a to come and pick it the son of the chief it was our good friend okay so it said that we can get land from his papa to farm so no but since we already have and me I like the independence I start to farm and that piece of land from where you see my houses just above it all the way down where you see the mot is that was the farm and in front of the the plot in front of me that was the little track so from the back of my house to the front of the church all the way down to the the motorway that was my farm banana casava sometime yam beans peas every little thing because I have nothing else to do so you were here when it was like bush bush there was no other house up here it was only one little village there and the village the man he killed his brother or something here in this Village at here okay and he went to hide with his family over there and he was just here and nobody didn't know and you know police is not investigating though because they are V from vter and they are like occupied so they don't we only run away from his people to that place so it's only me and them alone used to be up above the train line and nobody from wouldn't come above the train line because they say that's where thei people deal with people who they don't like and dump them I didn't see any of those things yes I didn't see any of those things so your building Journey how was the building process for you ah the building that wasn't too bad that wasn't too bad did you contrace no myself the land was the problem because when I get the land and I start the building then another family said I'm on the land and then I had to go and get the chief son who who introduced me to the whole thing and get him to go and meet the other family and every time I arrange for the family to meet they always have excuse so this time I decide to throw a party okay and decide that yeah I'm party so come then I told the other family I'm coming to pick you to come to a party so so that's the first time I bring them together okay both both family I said when you tell me what's happening because you telling me he's telling lie and you telling me he's telling lie so you tell me what's the problem here here's and they both came we cut pictures and they demarcate out and the demarcation was only 20 ft and 10 ft Treet different it wasn't any big thing like before I was on yes and um and then I start my building once I start my building most times we used to win at Tam here I would go after after 10:00 after 8:00 when everybody gone home and the wife would hold the Canya and I would load that my okay so your wife will be holding the light and then you'll be doing your own son yes digging and loading and even sometime I'm so tired that when I come back I just par the truck and when the people come to cut the blocks then I told him could you take this and off the truck which truck were you using I had that by then you had your own truck by the time I bought this land my wife came so I was able to put her get her transport together I had a little old taxi I work for this man for seven years driving TR tro okay from Lab body to Circle from TMA fish I even have line at Tema fishing har I line at Acra and I have a line at La Circle so I have chure line at those places only that once I move then I stop pay my dues and you know you lose your space but right now if I go I think some of my people now is what managing the GPR team the GPR te W yes I'm a member used to be a member of the GPR yes so how long did it take you to build your house and how easy or difficult was it the easy the difficult in that time things was cheap so if you get10 you could buy two or three bags of cement wow and fortunate for me fortunate for me if I get money from faring I didn't need it to eat because I have my own ways and means of finding my food to maintain the physical so if I get 10 15 20 that was development money yes it was and you can imagine you get now if you don't have 20 I don't think you can buy a bag off cement yeah 20 yes yes 20 yes because at those days you could pay a bag of cement was about 2 lb or 3 lb Max you see so you are doing bit by bit I was doing it bit by bit my wife used to work for shrs she's a lawyer she it was adventure for her and she used to work for shrug and when she get her money at the end of the month I used to call in the the black cutter I use Mason I didn't have a plan draw yeah I didn't have a plan dra so I show them what I want measure it out and so how big is this and measure it out I have to go and measure it out in the evening and walk inside the this the size if it's 10 by 10 or see how big it was and guesstimate and then I just put put it step by step sometimes when I go to hustle with the truck to carry cement and block for other people and I come back they would put up something and I was this is not it they've done it wrong they've done it wrong so while they finish and I just go and take it down yourself all right so that they don't waste time to take it down so I said this is not how I want it this is how I want it yes wow so it wasn't that difficult except my style if you notice my building they tall yeah yeah so when I when I the steel Bender he gave me a bit of a problem because I leave him with the steel to cut the steel and I told him that I want my blocks 11 High not seven and N high like how you do it I want it 11 High then I put the door you see all my doors they have vents not yes so yes I want it to level high so that I have enough head room so warm a Rises and this is Sun this is the land of the Sun so that mean that I have to have a tall roof so that so when I come back the steel Bend I cut all the Steels to make the house about this St we had problem but otherwise from that wasn't much of a problem so bit by bit bit by bit even ourself we still doing it you still doing it we still is this is this school do you work here or is it yours I don't know it's mine it's yours it's mine it's mine you built this I built it Brick by Brick digging Foundation every single me and one other person wow one other person SE so you are an epitome of humble beginnings isn't it well if you look at it like that yes yes it's really really humble because I didn't expect to achieve this and as I said when I come to Africa I just come to lay the physical down that was my hope I was just tired of Europe Jamaica I'm fine Jamaica but Jamaica there if I was having something like this I have to have a gun I have to have Revenge F that you cannot forgive because if you forgive people will take you for stupid person so yeah you have to take example make example of every single in scenarios and I grew up in the church so I like to forgive I like I like I don't like to go to bed thinking about the family of people being hurt or because when I hurt you you probably be my problem but what about Mommy what about the children you see so those things I didn't take kindly to it so here when I come I didn't really the physical didn't really bother me so if you scratch my car I wasn't going to come and Hammer you for that or if you break my house I probably would want to take it to the police but even that self I don't even feel like doing it yeah because here you take somebody to the police the amount of trouble might as well take the thing don't come back go your ways yes so you've so you've moved from you know trying to live Ghana on a bicycle and then building your own house you know getting your own sand molding your own blocks blocks yes Building without even having a plan without any plan this building no plan no plan nowadays people will say that this is so difficult but before we started this interview you said something that you know you were able to deal with the physical but then your peace because without resilience I don't think you can achieve all this true true you see the the thing is that the spiritual is what make the physical do what it want to do yeah but sometime the physical put demand upon the spiritual the spiritual yes and so the spiritual will just lox inside the body and follow you to do what the physical want to do yeah but see what happened suppose now you could will things into being mhm you know you don't have to worry about the car because you know that as long as you maintain the physical that will come at any time you see you don't have to worry about your camera or your things because even if they stole it it might be painful just now but you can will it back to yourself you can will it back into into your hands you see so me personally I feel that um in that position where nothing material doesn't really I don't I'm not tied anything material as I said to the wife that sometime if you say today that um you retired me I would be happy and not happy happy in the sense that my work would be over because as far as I'm concerned I work for the female and the children that's my job yeah and whatsoever the physical this physical create is for the female and for the children for me as a person as I said to you I sleep anywhere good like sleeping asleep the only thing that bothered me in all this journey ttum T that's the only thing when the ttum bite me remind me oh the mosquito mosquito I'm alive yes I'm alive that's the only thing that really really really B me at all here in Ghana yes so for me the phys I'm not tied to the physical I'm not but because I'm in a physical Farm I the physical you have to do things to show that it worth living yeah your family you have to make sure that the family get a better state of living than you have than the parents had than your grandparents had you see so I always say I'm in a physical form performing a spiritual work spiritual work yes because I'm performing a work for the generation these children here most of them I was just sending out school fees bill and we wave all most of them 90% of we wave the school if you go and look so how much pay no I think at the PTA because this is no money I cannot pay my teachers if I don't add the PTA to it so add the p to it yes but most of them yes though we want to make sure that we make money from it because it it's good to show pearls in front of swine you want to me but at the same time too I have to show the first stone of Love mhm yeah before I can make a testimony I don't like to assume I like to testify so if I do you if I see you for the first understand I will show you love and until you show me otherwise and then if you said if you said to me say why you treating me like that then I can said brother didn't you do this a b c and d didn't you I didn't you yeah and your answer have to come back yes I did I did and if you did then if you was in my shoes and I did that to you what would you think how would you feel then you get away from so you show love to everybody until they show you otherwise until they show me otherwise I think that's fair so I've realized that um we are in a school yes sir and before I came here I wasn't even sure I didn't even know about this school how did the school come about well this school it come about because I have have two daughters two girls and we actually homeschool them and when we homeschooled them um my mother-in-law came and she saw that the girls were really impressive and she said oh why you don't build a school but where I was with the rians in amam we wanted to build a school so that I could teach African history okay yes so when mother-in-law said that we could then we said you're giving us the money she said that will help you start and that's what she did before she passed all right so we managed to put this together and she I think she passed sometime 2017 here and we were able to open in 2019 nice but we were supposed to open because another friend came from London she's G and pre and she want she have two daughters with her friends of our children and she said she's going to send them to too the time this was just said you open me school or we send them to said okay we open this school so we open the school before this was here before this was here it was just no paint still the brick was raw the steel was sticking up out of the foundation it was just ra wow it was just so by the time 2019 the co came 2020 it closed and then after the co I have a speak that one day yeah I was trying to take it down and I break my legs so I had to spin another year off wow yeah lots of obstacles yeah but you you you are a symbol of resilience so you said you build this yourself myself completely myself was this one on a plan no this this no plan no I wanted was I went to college at Brixton at a place called Ferndale Road okay and um the building it was an inside building so I wanted to copy the whole idea idea but then it turn out even more beautiful good good so what what do you have over here like okay well we teach the igcs the international okay yes we don't use the GES curriculum we use the international curriculum but my plan and hope is that since we are black people we are the first people we should be educated to that level so I was trying I'm trying to bring back that height of Education back to my homeland so the black history so the black history is an integral part of our curriculum despite African history is world history Believe It or Not African history is world history so if I teach each African history here and the children would realize that oh we are the original beings so that mean that we have in a I would call it in a builder that that can Inspire us without intrinsic motivation yes which can carry us to another level we don't need anybody to bring knowledge to us but we can actually because if you look around you will see the whole this is our computer yeah this is our computer and in every classroom you go you will see that motivations and geography yeah history there are some of Heroes over there African leaders which Inspire African people over the years our books everything here is of African yes everything here is of African this is our gym yeah we said we teach self-preservation mhm we teach self-preservation inside here so when we mean by self-preservation we we teach you that if there's a confrontation or any form of and aggravation mhm you talk your way out of it mhm if you can't talk your way out of it you move away from it you walk away from it if you can't walk away from it the ultimate is to destroy it destroy it okay that's why self-defense come in or I call it self-preservation self-preservation that makes sense and this is another classroom again as you can see all our classrooms and if you look the name this is Gladis West yes all the classroom is named after African African Educators and African very nice yes so we know that if you have history and you have geography you're halfway there so what level does it get get to we get you right up to the igc so it's from 2 years old to 16 oh okay yes from 2 years old to 60 so where is it where is it um so if people want to find we are just off The puki Interchange I think their town is called a but if you come to puki near pukas interchange you can just pick up this put put the spell more in your Google will find okay spell more which is sp Institute I'll put it on the screen okay and you can easily locate it we name the street our this is college Lane that's Union Street the one down there is Garvey rice Garvey rice yeah so you came here and then you put your flag down that's good I like that I like that this is my heaven that's it yeah that is yes this is my heaven because we grown up learned that our God is a living God MH and once it's a living God then he must live somewhere yeah as according to King David King David said his God lives in Israel yeah you know God doesn't live anywhere his God living Israel so for me my God Living God he lives in Africa so that means that I'm preparing things for our people to make sure we can live in peace with our reality yes so that's what the education is and yeah reception yes Reception class this is amyi yes and each the June the early years yes the early years yeah they all have their own bathroom and Facilities yeah so they don't have to leave the classroom and this is director's office I'm an engineer by profession yes I'm a engineer this is director office this is our SI Bay haven't yet complete not yet complete just small left to go and this is our bathroom yeah for at the moment both girls and boys are using it and this is our small playground mhm and that's our science lab over there nice welcome to Legacy Gardens Cafe Z yes so how did Legacy Garden came into being well okay as I was saying to you I used to farm here from behind here to in front of that place go down to the motorway and when my wife came along we decid that it's a good place to settle yes so we bought this potion a matter of fact we didn't bite the chief man and the chief son we are good friends okay so he said I should have it but when we come to get the paperwork yeah that was when time the money comes into playes it so it was more or less I pay for the paperwork the land was given to me so I take it like that okay so what do you have here um well we have this cafee Zion yeah a vegetarian restaurant we don't do no meat no fish a matter of fact I used to have a restaurant like this in great yoth back in England ah yes so it wasn't anything new for me inside this is Apartments ah okay two bedrooms and single bedroom studio apartments so so this is the single rooms apartment so we have these are single bedrooms Apartments yeah you have your kitchen your toilet everything inside and then so is it short stay or long stay any any any any short stay or long stay not it's all welcome and one good thing I like over here is the vegetation you know all the plant what what was the thinking behind that it's a garden ah it's a garden so because this was our first little two H rooms you see this little room here that little room that's where it started that's how I started that's my first little room and a similar one just slightly bigger than that at the other Corner up here okay so that was my Touchstone just to hold the land wow yes Small Beginnings small very small yes and this is our our jeo ah yes sir I see you enjoying yes that's this is our rooftop and then you can see all the way to kumashi you can wave to the family oh nice That's The Interchange here wow yes and that's that's the way into Kumasi wow yes that's and a clear day you can see the wager Dam yeah and a clear day over there yes that is an amazing view yes so what was the apartment name again Legacy Legacy apartment l g a SS I Legacy apartment Legacy this my rooftop and this is the rooftop handmade and handcraft by nwam himself my myself all decoration I must say is by the wife wow I made the shell and all the flowers all the Stone Works all the color paint is by the wife I want to ask you a question yes sir so for me I feel like I want to come back home because I feel I want to build something like what you've done but I feel like I can do it here do you think you would have achieved this if you were still in London no no could never because um as I said to you before I remember when cement was less than5 or $5 a bag so if somebody come and give me A5 or a 10 that would be a two bag of cement for me with relative ease now today today if you don't have 20 or more to buy a bag of cement you can never do anything do anything you know I was doing this and cement was 15 CD a bag M and through the pro process it reach a time when cement move from 15 CD to 32 CDs a bag yes so when when things rise like that drastically then you see that the pound reduce the dollars disappear you know so if I was in London now before year 2000 after year 2000 a really hard craft to achieve something like that like a beautiful woman I can't afford her but by sitting across the road and watch her coming out and going in every day is joy to my soul I need no more than that just to watch Mama Africa because when I originally came here I just come here to sit down and enjoy the breeze and watch the birds and watch all the beautiful thing go by I didn't expect that I would achieve and today talking to you yes but because Africa is the land of the living yeah then there's nothing else do just to live I'm just in ow how you've moved from you know digging your own sand to this so we used to pack the the things all over the nych um there's an nry over there we pack everything wow and this was the first big the first building as I said to you this was my first building yeah this my first big building otherwise from those two little wall yeah this was my first big building this one what you stand here on on top here this was the rooftop for the shops and the restaurants so this was what I'm doing when cement move from 15 CD a bag to 30 CDs are back in here too so for you yes you build something small you occupy it and once you are in there you get money and then you go on you go on go on go on that's good yes this is this is the single partner single bedroom apartment so you can have a look it's not made but you can have a quick look yeah see spacious yes with your own little kitchenet yeah and you have a fridge yeah you have this own bathroom you know you have a shower bathroom yeah you have your own shower bathroom mhm nice nice and cozy this yes and you close to Nature very and then you have the two bedrooms which I'm going to show you yeah all the designs are by me all the layout all the measurement is by me this is the two bedrooms apartment and this is this is the two-bedroom apartment again yes don't know if it's bright enough yeah it the camera will do it okay nice and this is two bedrooms that and then nice okay and then the toilet and bath yep that's amazing you know when you were talking about how um physical things don't really move you and you're not scared of losing physical things is that what is in Motion in your life because you you don't really care about losing it and all you do is just to show love then the most high keeps adding well I would say yes because I didn't do anything to achieve it is the most high who give me because whatsoever I have I share yes whatsoever I have I always share because I just want to be free I didn't want any responsibility that going to make me miserable you know get I mean having a and it's a of tradition since the time of that's that's not a a a a a crisis it's a part of your spiritual and physical growth you see but otherwise other things where you have you know all these other trinklets where you have your cars your house your clothes all those things they don't they don't bother me a bit never did you know so here once I can maintain the physical which is only food and water I'm okay that's I'm okay that's good good so um you've come here nwam um and as I keep saying you know with little and with resilience you've been able to achieve this amazing piece you know like you build this by hand By Hand by hand which is very without any contractor only me the Mason and three laborers yeah then under your supervision and then I did my plumbing and then I a plumber did come and help me but he was an apprentice because when I leave school in Jamaica my first job was Plumbing yeah so I work for the Jamaican government for a few months before buy ticket to fly to England so my first job was Plumbing so I had us junor plum the electrician okay he was also a junior so we make some mistake but we Rectify it later but otherwise I did everything more or less everything I had to supervise everything I had to make sure that so what I did know I know now yeah so we have our brothers and sisters who are living in the diaspora who love to come and Achieve what you have achieved what should they prepare themselves for well right now if you want to achieve all this what I've done you have to have plenty of money mhm that's the number one thing now when I came here in the early 80s when a friend from London or America come and drop you five or 10 pound or a $10 oh you could have put that $10 you could have gone far fortunate for me fortunate or lucky for me I didn't need anything from abroad or from a brad she to to keep my body and soul together because the moment I came to Africa I was able to maintain the physical and once I could maintain the physical any extra Finance I get it was for development so it wasn't difficult now here in Africa a lot of the people come and they want that Comfort they have in London they want the Kentucky they want the Wendy's they want the the fried yes and it's expensive and if you want to develop and you want to live like in London it's going to be a bit difficult saying all of that for me I would live in Africa in any condition any condition after 400 years in captivity 16 generation D and born on the plantation 16 times I don't see anything can me sentencing myself to life in the land of the living ah oh there's no comparison this is the land of the living this is where the a matter of fact I'm at Gold Coast yes original Gold Coast pearly gate and pearly gate is heaven so for me this is heaven full stop without or with all this material addition it is Heaven for body and soul so for me if you people in London and Jamaica and the Caribbean and America and the is want to come just love Mama Africa as your own I see European come here and they make it because they show Mama Africa love yes and Mama Africa is the mother of All Souls All Souls where you see so Chinese come here and they are making it Indians come here and they are making it then what about you you who is the direct descendants of Mama Africa and her husband don't forget Mama Africa love you so much that even inside the scripture she Clos what you call him heau with the goat skin so that he could disguise the African here and make the mother think that it was a Punchy ha go here that the father was feeling yes so for We There Mama Africa is love so you just get the little trinklets that you getting in in captivity and come do your best live clean and the same way you survive slavery you will survive in the land of your ancestors you might hear sad news and stories it's only obstacles obstacles yes and we learn to run herles so we know how to jump that one there that one there is not a problem there some heads and nothing good nothing good comes easy so you just have to prepare your mind know you know I when King Solomon asked for knowledge wisdom and over understanding I didn't understand it I thought it was something then everything would be just easy no you're going to have problem so you can solve it you're going to have all different things and so you have to learn to overcome these things so that's how you will gain your knowledge and your wisdom and that's how you will understand what his life is all about but without obstacles you won't know anything you will be like a Empty Barrel make noise Legacy Gardens it's near puki interchange a matter of fact it's almost
