      @@MEDIA.AFRICA Queen Nanny was a Kromanti by birth. That is, she hails from that small fishing village on the Mankessim -Cape-Coast road.
      That area from Edumafar, Asaafar, Kromantsi,Abandzi all the way to Anomabo and Moree are where the Maroons originated from.
      Sir Francis Drake thought highly about the Maroons who he claimed "were skilled/skillful Fisherfolks / Hunters and Farmers and Warriors who knew so much about the seas that some Kromantis navigated alongside him and were from some communities in Western shores of Africa" .
      Closer research points to the people on the shores of Ghana. The Akan dialect spoken by the Maroons of Jamaica,Surinam,Panama and the language of the Garifuna of Belize,Nicaragua,Honduras and places like Guatemala are more intelligible to the people of the coastal areas of present day Ghana.

    Nanny stands for Nana. Her brothers were called Cudjoe and Quao (Fante names).
    Accompong is Akropong meaning ‘ first town’ common name for villages in Ghana. Maroons eat Dokonu (Kenkey), chew Bese (cola nut) and raise Sensen fowl ( Akokor Asensen in Ghana). They also blow the aben ( bull horns) like we do in Ghana and they call God Nyankipong, Akan word for God- Nyankopong.

      @@oseitututawiah2109you are right about the names but the captured Asantes were the ones sent to Jamaica. The British recorded their names because of their notoriety. I got my answers years ago from a British historian whose writings about Asantes were publicised online. They started referring to them as the Kromantines. What even got me into this research was a Jamaican dude i knew. He would call me man Friday when we played football in college. We ended up bonding and a week after, on a business trip he told me about his family being Kromatines, and that they know their roots are from Ghana . This sparked my research. My Asantes folks were badly defeated by the Fante and British then hauled off never to be seen again.

      There should be more documentaries like this. I find that Jamaica has become so whitewashed, Americanised, chineyfied (okay... there's no such word as chineyfied) but you all know what I am saying. That unique history of our roots has dissipated to almost nothing and sometimes people don't want to know that we did not originate on the Island. I was in Black River recently and there was a heated discussion about how the Maroons betrayed the other Jamaican's. I kindly let him know I am proud of my father and the rest of my Maroon paternal family. We a warrior! I am taking my first trip to Ghana in December and I am so looking forward to exploring. Until we at least acknowledge who we are we will remain a displaced nation, to be manipulated to remain in servitude and enslaved. As much as I love the beautifully scenic Jamaica, I know that we do not own not one piece of the dirt. I advocate for us to decolonise our own minds that has been pounded with Eurocentrism. One love to all.

Garvey built schools through out the carribean and tried his best to keep us together but alot of evil forces tried to sabotage that relationship and made it look as if we aren't actually one people (Israel) under the creator of every sustainable and unsustainable living thing under the heavens, may the Almighty grant Marcus Garvey a place in the heavens🙏

    The Maroons for most of their time in Jamaica have been free men and boy did they cause havoc towards the slavers.
    I dont think it is coincidence that those who held on to their African identity were the ones who resisted slavery the most. This is true all over the Caribbean.
    I also hear the Maroon community has not had a murder for around 150 years.
    Finally, the Maroons believe they are a state within a state based on the treaties they signed, however the Jamaican government is trying to appropriate their forested land as it has massive bauxite reserves.

To the Rasta brother, all of the prophets were Muslim which only means submitting to one God. The black man's God is Allah which means the most high. Islam as it is practiced today reached Africa (Ethiopia in early the 7th Century) and the king that accepted the Muslims freeing from persecution in Makkah also became Muslim. The first Mosque in Africa is in Ethiopia and the religion spread from East Africa to West Africa and Mansa Musa (Mali Kingdom) was the richest man to have ever lived and he was a Muslim and even sent expeditions to the west and ended up some say in the americas and caribbean. Nigeria has 78,000,000 (78 million muslims). Mali, Senegal and Gambia is around 99% Muslim. The Rasta was right in that we came from different parts of Africa so look to where we came from and see the population today and the religion that they are practicing. Islam was there and christianity came after and as the Africans say they brought the bible with them and when we raised our heads from praying they had the land and we had the bible. We have been divided for too long and I hope that the diaspora begin to realize that we didn't ask to come to the west we were forced, no visa, no passport, took our name, religion, erased our culture and God. Africa is home! Love you all and unity is strength! czcams.com/video/A-3Z1KbYUj4/video.html and part 2 in Suriname czcams.com/video/Kv_T30rqo0Y/video.html Fu sab pe yu go sab pe yu komopa.

    Interesting interview. RAS SOLOMON gave a good interview but from listening very well to him about his knowledge of how he was 1st taken from Ghana via "The place of no return" and his knowledge of his people captivity to the Muslims, Spanish, and English. He questioned the Black people religion and of them not having any proper religion of their own not identifying with the Muslim or Christian religion where the black slaved were given the Bible by the British on one hand whilst they held the gun in their other hand. He also talked about the Jews capitalising from the richness of Africa . What was interesting for me is that this man did not know that he comes from the tribe of Judah as an Israelite and went into captivity in the 1st place because he and the people from Judah had abondoned their covenant with Yehweh and went into idolatry worshipping of many gods in the land of Ham (Africa). Many black people were taken from the Goal Coast of Ghana (on (JUDA on old map of Ghana) but were originally Israelites living in the land. . God warned Israel in Deuteonomy 28 what would happen to them if they broke covenant agreement with him. Please read. I see this bro as i do many from Jamaica and other Caribbean Islands as lost sheep without a shepherd. Many have lost sight of their real name, their language and most importantly their true God. Isaiah 1:1-9 concerning Judah " “I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me.The ox knows its master, the donkey its owner’s manger, but Israel does not know me. My people do not understand.” Woe to the sinful nation, a people whose guilt is great, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the LORD; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him.Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted. From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness- only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with olive oil.Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.Daughter Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a cucumber field, like a city under siege.Unless the LORD Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.
    God indeed has not called the black hebrew people who ended up in slavery to follow the Muslim religion, the Christian religion, or the African religion which includes ancestral worship (where they are guided by their dead ancestors rather than by the word of God and his holy spirit) libation, and many other practices which is contrary to God's instructions to Israel. The white Jews in Israel and other parts of the world are European Jews that practices the religion of Judiasm and has used this to disguise their wickedness. Many belong to the synagogues of Satan as recorded in psalms 83 and are certainly not a people that love and worship the God of Abraham,. Isaac and Jacob. Of course there is always the exception in every religion who genuinely love God but may not yet come to the knowledge of the truth. The real Jesus Christ from the tribe of Judah died for the whole world. I do not mean the white faced, blond haired, blue eyes a European Jesus painted in the image of Michael Angelo that was created by the Roman/Europeans in their own image and supported by the Vatican evil religious system for human oppression and domination. God is calling his Hebrew people back to himself. Many live in the land of Ham in Africa. Many live in the four corners of the world. God promise to bring them back to their own land in the end. Jamaica, the Caribbean, E gland, America, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Portugal and Europe is not our land. Some parts of Africa extend to the land of Israel but many people don't know this. Many Israelites escaped to Africa in AD70 when Israel was demolished by the Crusaders who bore the Roman cross and guns.

    Same thing with Nigeria. We saw quite a few plants that were brought to Jamaica that also exist in Nigeria. I would imagine that they were also grown in Ghana since they are so close. My father inlaw who is Nigerian did ancestry DNA and all his relative matches were in Jamaica. I hope more people from the continent will do DNA to help more Black people in the America make the connections to the continent.

    To be honest is not Africans Jamaicans who do not want to acknowledge that we are Africans I know that once Africans notice that we are Jamaicans they act very stand off and against us they are the first ones that started to tell us that we are Africans but yet decided to be so cold towards us and that is the reason why Jamaicans denied that we are Africans as a combat to how they treat us as Africans Africans need to be teach the history of Africans Jamaicans and acknowledge that we are all Africans and show us more respect and love as Africans and instead of being against us because African Jamaicans are open and welcoming down to earth very friendly to everyone quick to help anyone kind loving caring and the list goes on mean while our Nigerians Ghanaian you name it are very selfish towards African Jamaicans when African Jamaicans have all these good attributes about us and people be mean to us it hurt and that's when we'll cut and slice with our mouth and be ready to fight like Nanny and Cojo with no treatie teach them
