I was born in Jamaica, but I have Nigerian, Zimbabwe, Ghana Guinea and other DNA mixtures from the continent
Why do I need to get visas to return to our ancestors home?
Is it not my right to apply for and receive a passport from the country of my choice?
Why is that a problem when I did not not legally leave the continent?
All offsprings of the stolen people of the continent should be able to receive a passport on arriving and applying for same!

The effective development of Africa is also a political issue. Freedom is the environment where the available energies are best aroused.

I do admire all great leangth taken for our archivement as Africa but i do feel a need for everyone of us if there could be a fund to contribute ti even a dollar is enough per month.
Certain needs can be met directly from our pocket as Africans instead of looking without our boarders. Please let my plea be heard.
