Kenya, Tanzanian, Rwanda, Seychelles.......in west Africa.....you guys always forgot the French speaking countries in west Africa....... Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire,dakar Senegal, nigeria,ghana, even benin,cape verde even Togo.....brother i can go on and on......both Benin and Togo are cleaner than the whole east African countries put together......when you visit this countries......then come back and tell me if you can boast about east African countries again.....i can agree that east African countries are ease of doing business and connecting to each other and has a well developed tourism......west Africa dont value tourism and is not ease of doing business......but don't lie to the world that east Africa cities are well developed compared to west Africa........ because of how french speaking west Africa doesn't speak English...... anything about them has been ignored and overlooked.....then you come here because you visited liberia,serrie leone and south Sudan all this least developed in west Africa then you assume that east African cities are more developed what rubbish......over the years Rwanda is said to be the cleanest cities in Africa......now the truth has be confirmed that 2 french speaking west Africa has the cleanest cities in Africa as a whole. Benin and Togo......so stop deceiving people to avoid problems

    If you are a business man or woman, if you are not in Nigeria you are missing out despite all the negative things you hear about Nigeria. Nigeria has a bad reputation out there but when you come into the Country and figure out how things work, you will NEVER go anywhere else. The Lebanese have been milking the honey called Nigeria for decades now while black business men and women are still focusing on the negative reports about Nigeria which are most times blown out of proportion by even Nigerians who think that the grass is greener in other climes until they relocate out of Nigeria to other Countries and find out what they were missing. West Africa was very late to infrastructure development due to so many Civil wars that happened immediately after these Countries gained independence from colonial rule. Give it another twenty years and West Africa will be the best place to be.

In some groups of us, like Gullah/Geechie people of U.S. sea islands, the retentions are very pronounced.

    As a Kenyan i find it fishy when some countries in Africa have to sell themselves to be noticed or acknowledged. I have never seen or heard any East African countries claim black Americans or talk about how they should come here instead of anywhere else. All we want to do as East Africans is to build our countries alongside those who share our vision of prosperity and growth. Some Africans living in the past glory of their countries should desist from their superiority complex and ignorance towards other countries. Lessons from history has taught us that those who are high can only come down while those who are down can only climb higher. God bless Africa

      The person making the video isn't from West Africa; he is a black American, and he might have his reasons.
      I doubt if there is anywhere that Nigeria has ever advertised or persuaded foreigners to visit or relocate to Nigeria.
      Nigeria's economy isn't tourism-based. Nigeria is already big, and nobody has the time to please anybody.
      Nigerians don't even care if you are a stranger or not; as a black person from anywhere in the world, native or not, you can live in Nigeria all your life without anybody asking you for any documents or where you came from.
      Even if you told people in Nigeria that you aren't Nigeria, they wouldn't even believe you because there must be a tribe in Nigeria that looks exactly like you.
      If you are a beginner, I will advise you not to relocate to Nigeria because the market is very competitive, and not for a fainted heart, it doesn't matter how much money you have, because individuals are very rich.

He is just try to leave some breadcrumbs to help those who are looking to find it. Not everyone repats to find home, but its still good to know where it is.

      If the economy of Nigeria was ahead of that of East Africa, you would not be seeing droves of Nigerians running to East Africa. You find 0 East Africans in West Africa. Nigeria has no economic prowess. Tanzania exports precious stones, gold, cereals, oil seeds, coffee, tea, spices, fruits, nuts, fish etc. Kenya exports: Titanium ore; Refined petroleum; Coffee, Tea, etc. Uganda exports: Coffee, tea, cotton, copper, oil, fish. At the same time, East Africa is a leading tourist destination. Each country in East Africa has more wildlife in it that all of West Africa put together. The region has such leading tourist attractions as Zanzibar, Malindi, Mombasa, the East African rift valley, Kilimanjaro, Serengeti, Maasai Mara, the Great Lakes (Tanganyika, Victoria, Albert etc).. There is a reason why every year, droves of West African youth march across the treacherous Sahara desert, to board rickety wooden boats in North Africa, and hazard a journey into Southern Europe. Just look at the numbers, 99% of the illegal African immigrants in Europe and America are West Africans. I rest my case.

    Why are members of this panel feel so offended about what they heard Afro Think Tank say about African Americans following their DNA and unit with the people of their lineage in West Africa. The countries that he named also match. They missed the point! Some say "I understand BUT"! Why? I agree with what he said or trying to say. I know the history. The people of the Low Country in South Carolina, Gullah culture, do connect with that of Sierra Leone along the coast to Benin. Of course, enslavement replaced the culture of African Americans. To reclaim that culture, African Americans go to West Africa. Bantu people started the Niger River area of today Nigeria and migrated South and East. There are those who migrated to West Africa from the Nile Valley. The Africans in East Africa were enslaved by Arabs. Africans enslaved in America were done by Europeans. This is not about which is better: East Africa or West Africa. I like Rwanda, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. Some of us prefer SA. There's Namibia. There's Botswana. Why get into which part of Africa is better. The brother was focusing on connecting with the people of our ancestors. All these negatives as to "do they want you there???". Come on now! That's a question in many places around the planet. I didn't expect a negative response to Afro Think Tank. Talking about being divisive. Many of the responses were.

That person wants to know where he or she came from. It has nothing to do with business opportunities or making money. It's about knowing your roots and bloodline. Listen to what he said again, "if you want to know your people. Your origin. Where you really come from"..those was his words. Not, if you want to make money or looking for business opportunities in Africa. Those are two different things in my humble opinion. So I am with him 100%.
