Speaker 1: Uh.

67
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 4: But honestly, like you guys, the nand home Nigerian household, uh,

68
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 4: talk about the dynamic, the family dynamic, like there isn't

69
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 4: ours like growing up the parent and the culture, the

70
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 4: food and food like right, we want.

71
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: To hear it all man like you know stuff.

72
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: Well, I think, at least to start off with, I

73
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: think Obo grew up in more of a traditional home

74
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: than maybe I did. I grew up more in a

75
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: southern Floridian I grew up specifically with my mother. My

76
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: mother is not from Ghana. My mother is from Florida.

77
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: But I did have, you know, kind of like a

78
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: due growing up. I did spend a lot of time

79
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: with my father here and there. But I think in

80
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: that Ganyani that you see really in me is is

81
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, self evaluation, self study, along

82
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: with going back, you know, asking the elders, asking you know,

83
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: some of those who may know more about the culture,

84
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: some of my family members. That's already in Ghana, my

85
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: father taking me there, that's come from that. That's not

86
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: necessarily my growing up. But for me, my household was

87
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: you know, a traditional uh you know, I would say Christian,

88
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: but it was it was more so like like a

89
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: very discipline and I grew up in the military household.

90
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody can relate, Yeah, yeah, so

91
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: it's very disciplined. Pentecostal Baptist. You know, dancing in the spirits,

92
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: the type of household. You know, we didn't really have

93
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: no denomination. We was just really bouncing to church to church.

94
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: Whatever church had the most you know, family, the family vibes,

95
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: that's the one that we went to.

96
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: So that's.

97
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: Whichever one you know got out the latest, huh was definitely,

98
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: But really it seemed like we went to the one

99
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: that was the longest. Man, That's what I'm saying, Like

100
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: like his folks, they like, man, we in it, We

101
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: want to be in there for a while. Yeah, but

102
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: it goes to like this my mom, like you know,

103
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: the scripture, and they say, like you raised the child

104
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: in the way he should go and he should not

105
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: depart from it.

106
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: She kind of took that very seriously. You know.

107
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: She used to break it down to me, like it's

108
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: twenty four hours in the day and people or they

109
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: raising their child, but it's really not because you need

110
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: eight hours. You go to school for eight hours, you

111
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, You got much left. Then you

00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: hours a day, hour day. How many people sit down

00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: with each oldren then, so you.

117
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 6: Know that's that's rank crazy right there.

118
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: Okay, look, I don't guy as as a decorator upbringing,

119
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: but I grew up in the traditional African household.

120
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 5: Parents were just super strict. Wanted me to make good grades,

121
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 5: come home early, just you know, do the right thing

122
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 5: and go to church. You know.

123
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: I was a skateboarder though, and they hated that. You

124
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: know why is that?

125
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: I mean, skate culture isn't really like skate coature and

126
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: Nigerian culture.

127
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 6: You know, it's like free spirit.

128
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 5: You know.

129
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm coming home like super late.

130
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: You know, I'm I'm my clothes all ripped up, you

131
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, got my vans, you know what

132
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

133
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 2: They see all that, they see like holds for me

134
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: just wiping on the board. So they didn't like that.

135
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 5: So when I actually started playing football, they they sort

136
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 5: of they only cared about education. So when I started

137
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 5: playing football, they were just like, oh, so you're skateboarding

138
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 5: and then football is like another distraction from school, you know.

139
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 5: So I had to hide it from them initially, so

140
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 5: then I guess until I got a scholarship.

141
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: I wasn't. I was just like, you know, put an

142
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: envelope down. Yeah you know what I'm saying. They were like,

143
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: what's your first game? You know? That's how I went

144

Speaker 2: I came when I got the magnet. You have to

203
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: manage jump. When I got my ear rings, I was

204
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: I remember that whooping. I remember that one talking about it.

205
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was one of the ones.

206
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 4: Yeah we all we all have to do something I

207
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 4: got I did. I got my ear spirits without my

00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 4: parents knowing what I'm literally, I go get my ear spirits.

209
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 4: I had one with my best friend. One of my

210
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 4: best friends growing up, had his mom give me to.

211
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: Get Okay, you know what I'm saying because obviously on

212
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: the age, so you gotta have a guardian signed off

213
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: so that happens. I'm hiding it. I told my dad

214
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: though he was cool. My dad and my MOMK, yeah,

215
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: separate hanks. So then I'm going out just around prom season.

216
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 2: That's why I got it. I need to hear ring for.

217
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go shopping for the fit. I kid

218
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: you not like I've been hiding it, like forever. I'm

219
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: in a passenger. See, my mom just happened to look

220
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: right before we hit the highway. She was like, what's

221
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: that in your ear? And I used to have this

222
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: like a little stick in there, just the hole, just

223
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: to hold the whole dog. She hit the U turn

224
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: so fast, did eighty back to the crib, got there

225
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: like two minutes.

226
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 2: It was Yeah, it was a wrap. It was a wrap.

227
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: I kept it though I still had it the problem.

228
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: Looking good was worth it. Yeah, it was worth Yeah.

229
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: It's interesting how those experiences like make us kind of like,

230
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: you know, think about like like, even if you know,

231
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: we kept being rebellious, even if we kept you know,

232
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: doing the things we wanted to do.

233
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, we kind of grew

234
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: more of a love for our parents.

235
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, after for sure, it's like I can

236
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: really understand why you, you know, wanted to implement what

237
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: you want to implement. You know, you can kind of

238
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: make that connection even even though you know you're still

239
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: yourselves wrong.

240
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 6: For sure, I was rebellious.

241
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 7: I was not.

242
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 6: My dad said no nothing, There.

243
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: Was no coach, nothing, and here and control of that

244
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: playing time.

245
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 6: Everything.

246
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: My won't necessarily too rebellious like I would do things,

247
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: but then I corrected out. I never made like a

248
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: mistake like twice the thing on the football field. We

249
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: appreciate that still, but I think, but again, that's what

250
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like a lot of those lessons, you know,

251
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: the smaller lessons make up you know, the whole or

252
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: of the the art piece.

253
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 2: You know.

254
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, even when uh, you know,

255
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: we talk about like the upbringing piece being a rebel

256
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: or doing something that's that's wrong, I feel like I

257
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: was obedient. I remember I called my mom the other

258
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: day and somebody was basically telling me I was a rebel.

259
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: I called him, like, tell him what I want to

260
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,599
Speaker 1: you know, She's like, my baby was good. You know,

261
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: my baby was a good man growing up. So I

262
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: think a lot of the times, like I may view

263
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: it as a rebel. I maybe view it as like

264
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: disrespectful sometimes, but then like really you ask your parents,

265
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: like I'm curious, like if you ask your parents, like

266
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: you know, how it was over growing up? It was

267
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: a good child, good child right at the end of

268
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: the day, you know what I mean, it'll just say.

269
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: Like I have my own mind. Yeah that's yeah. I

270
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: think it's important man, talk about that. What's the food?

271
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 2: What was the food?

272
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 6: Like?

273
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know we were talking a little bit before.

274
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: There's a lot of parallels and.

275
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 5: Like you know, we cross over a lot, but Nigerian

276
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 5: food is definitely different than Guani and food.

277
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: Is it better or different?

278
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 5: I mean perspective, I think it's way better because I

279
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 5: went to gunning with him and I no, no, I

280
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 5: would say.

281
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: It was cool, but it was like.

282
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 5: It was like this like like they will tell me like,

283
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 5: oh in Nigeria, this is like they'll try to compare

284
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 5: like before I ate it, you know, so I'm going

285
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 5: into it thinking, Okay, this is like when my mom

286
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 5: made this.

287
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: When I'm eating it, I'm just like.

288
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 6: Cool.

289
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 2: But but I'll say this the July first it was

290
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 2: it was good, it was decent.

291
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: But what you let me let me tell you, let

292
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: me hear about See this, this is where it really

293
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: comes down to, right, you know, to say back. So

294
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: this is the principal of criticism right here, or the

295
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: principle of evaluation. Okay, right, So he grew up in

296
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: the Nigerian family, m hmm, with homemade Nigerian food. He

297
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: comes to Ghana to evaluate. Let me see what the

298
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: Ghanian food looks like. And it's getting what restaurant food,

299
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: restaurant food. So you said you went local, but even

300
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: the locals know how to make mass foods. They got

301
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: to figure out something technique, something to do that they

302
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: can make the same food the same.

303
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: Tastes, right, food trucks, et cetera. Now you may be

304
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: a little biased.

305
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 6: Now you know.

306
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: Everything that we like that spicy, they like you sweet,

307
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And it was just different.

308
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 2: The Gan food is really hot and their food is really.

309
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, we got some we got some spicy, some

310
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: spicy dishes. But I see what you're saying. I actually

311
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: don't really like spicy food. Yeah, like it was sweet,

312
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: that was different and some people making spicy. You know

313

Speaker 6: Different even Look, but.

383
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: I cut my London trip short and then ended up

384
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 2: going to Africa and find and doing the rest of

385
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: my trip. I made it work.

386
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 6: Got PJ Man.

387
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: He look, that was Africa. That was I'll be that

388
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 2: next year. Okay, So was what was the question NFL.

389
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: Africa tell us about? You know what I'm saying, that journey,

390
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: that experience, the why behind it? Tell them what I

391
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: tell him a little about the trip. Well, I think

392
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: the why really stems from a place to build a bridge.

393
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: First and foremost. You know, we have a lot of

394
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: one hundred plus maybe one hundred and twenty plus in

395
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: the field, you know, stars and field athletes that are

396
00:19:55,280 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: have their ground roots somewhere, originate somewhere on the the

397
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: land right, whether it's Liberia, you know, whether it's Nigeria, Ghana,

398
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: every coast, every coast right Cameroon. We have a lot

399
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: of uh, you know, athletes that are from Africa. So

400
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: I think NFL Africa making that transition to really focus

401
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: more on developing uh, you know, youth that's in Africa. Well, well,

402
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: I think, first and foremost, build a bridge, and secondly

403
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: I think that well, I think my journey is a

404
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: little bit different in reference to the NFL Africa. You know,

405
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: I also had a you know, an aim in reference

406
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: to like education while I was there because I have

407
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: a nonprofit called in Quah and I do also solo

408
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: trips to be able to ape a month before they went.

409
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: But specifically for NFL Africa, I think first and foremost

410
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: it was to build that bridge. And then in the

411
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: bridge in reference to the players here, the players there,

412
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: the youth here, the youth there. Uh you know, they

413
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: started flag football as well there and we had we

414
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: actually had a team from Ghana come from uh yeah,

415
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: they've played in Vegas, so you see that tradition. Yeah,

416
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: we coached a few of the uh they had the

417
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: eagle stuff on, which is crazy, but you know it's cool. Uh.

418
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, the main reason was to really build that

419
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: bridge to you know, being able to expand the diversity

420
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Not only that, but you know, once

421
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: you know a lot of the youths get over here

422
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: and they may go to university, provide more opportunities for them.

423
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: You know what we call global global networking, right to

424
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: be able to go to a different country, uh, to

425
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, gain education, to gain resources, and to be

426
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: able to help the community or the uh yeah, help

427
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: the community.

428
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 2: In which you came.

429
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: So but that that's the reason why I think that

430
00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: in the NFL Africa did that now, you know, go

431
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: a little bit deeper on the So we.

432
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 5: Had a camp. We ran like a combine. It was

433
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 5: about about one hundred people all over. Yeah, and then

434
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 5: camp was crazy, like those dudes are athletic. Yeah, I'm

435
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 5: talking like freak athletes. Like we had to meet Jeremiah

436
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 5: and Quiddy. We had to pick out of those one

437
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 5: hundred we picked five.

438
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 2: Wow, the NFL.

439
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 5: So out of the five we picked, I think three

440
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 5: out of five recorded the sack already.

441
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 6: Wow, that's tough.

442
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 2: In the preseason was like two years ago.

443
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, that's tough.

444
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 2: Real life scouts. Yeah. And the other he's uh he

445
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 2: started left tackle for the Chiefs the preseason. Mm hm.

446
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: They doing really really really good athletes and and they

447
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: get like a year of development.

448
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: I think they go to there's I think there's a

449
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: training facility. I believe in London. I remember I went

450
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: right after.

451
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, the training facility there and and it really just

452
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: them from the age groups is really mad as a lot.

453
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: You know, whether they're from sixteen to you know, eighteen,

454
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: they may have opportunity to train and go to a university. Yeah,

455
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: but if they're from like nineteen twenty twenty one to

00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: like twenty three is they'll go to like a practice

00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 5: That we met in the village like a year later

00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 6: This is I know you got rid of that.

470
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: Tried you for real, Yeah, I had out on them.

471
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 2: It was one of the better ones though. It was piano.

472
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 2: Yeah it Now.

473
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: I think it really stems from just you know, a

474
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: lot of those guys they see opportunity, they want to

475
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: take it, and they value the opportunity.

476
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 2: Sometimes we may have an opportunity.

477
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: Uh here in the States, we look at it like

478
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: I may have nothing, you know, but for them, it's

479
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: like this this is right so uh and for them,

480
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, you provide an alternative and they're gonna take

481
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: that alternative, and you know, I calls examined it all

482
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: the time, specifically with my nonprofit. Is like, you know,

483
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: it's easy to tell you know, young brother to get

484
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: off the streets or you know, tell them to you know,

485
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: stop selling drugs or whatever. What he was doing right

486
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: helping them, you know exactly if you're not giving them

487
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: an alternative, it means nothing. It's like, well, okay, if

488
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: I stop this, then what you So I think that's

489
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: really what the opportunity is. It's like, okay, well I'm

490
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: doing something here, but too if I miss a day

491
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: or two, you know what I'm saying, I got an

492
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: alternative here, and I see this as really my only alternative.

493
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: So they go real art man, They real competitive, you know,

494
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: they talk trash. I mean some of them speaking you know, treat.

495
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: It was like a bunch of different like African countries,

496
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: that's the thing, ye speaking everybody.

497
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 2: We had a lot of translators there.

498
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 6: Funny is that all through NFL Africa.

499
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 2: So I think they didn't want Kenya. This year.

500
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: We had My year was Ghana. They had one in Kenya.

501
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,719
Speaker 1: I think they're going to South Africa this year, going

502
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: to different different countries.

503
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, some of the ones that are are everybody developed

504
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 5: to that one spot and do the combine and do

505
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 5: the combine.

506
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 2: How's that selection process to gather OC does it with?

507
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: So Ghana was a little bit different because O see,

508
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,959
Speaker 1: obviously I'm in Ghana. Oly kind of reached out to me, Hey,

509
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: you know, what are some of the players you think

510
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: that are? You know, so I had a camp before that,

511
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: so a lot of the players that I had in

512
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: my camp, I had one hundred and fifty. I was like, Okay,

513
00:25:58,520 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: I want this guy to come to that. Get this

514
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: out to me. I want this got to come to that. Yeah,

515
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: that's a good picks too. I have some good picks too.

516
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: But you know a lot of oh see minutes. He'd

517
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: been doing this for so long and he got these

518
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: guys coming from Nigeria. That's like six five.

519
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 3: And I'm thinking about it because we all do camps

520
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 3: back at home during the off season and stuff like that,

521
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 3: especially like in the States or whatever, like people being

522
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 3: from Miami or like Rod being from you know, yeah, yeah,

523
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 3: supposedly good football, but you know.

524
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: Come on, we don't respect on it.

525
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 6: I'm just saying, right, I'm just saying but over the

526
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 6: solid football, solid football.

527
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 2: We know.

528
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 6: But oh you know, like what if we did that?

529
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 3: You know, because we do youth camps like you know, yeah, kids,

530
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 3: little kids, you know, middle school no, no, not high school,

531
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 3: but find some kids. Find some nineteen twenty twenty one,

532
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: you know that could.

533
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 6: Still play because I know a lot.

534
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 5: But the difference store I think, like the wrong like

535
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 5: athletic ability did not just you know, I'm just being

536
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 5: he just out, I'm just being honest.

537
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 2: Just do look look, look look we pulled up.

538
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: It was like five six five d ms running four fives,

539
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: Like like, you're just not gonna go to PG and

540
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:16,479
Speaker 1: find that, right, You're not go to Miami. And now

541
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: I don't believe you just said no. It's like there's

542
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: a there's a difference. What's the difference. But this is

543
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: because I need to know, this is the difference. The

544
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: difference is. Okay, So I did a camp in Ghana.

545
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: I did a camp back in the States in my

546
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: hometown seven five. And this difference from from my point

547
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: of view, when I did the camp in Ghana, it

548
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: was more focus. It was more urgent urgency. Now now

549
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: now not even just now, but like you I'm trying

550
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: to I'm intentive. I'm listening saying at home, I do

551
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: the camp in Virginia. You know, similar urgency, right, but

552
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: because there's more distractions, because there's more things. They play

553
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: the game right and Ghana of like their daily lifestyle

554
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: is athleticism at the bucket of my head up and

555
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: maybe doing something, you know, carrying this, carrying that.

556
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 2: I may be a shepherd. You know, we got guys.

557
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 2: A lot of guys are traditional.

558
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: We had some O which is like the hereditary healers,

559
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: so a lot of them are like doing a lot

560
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: of things with their body non stop, day to day,

561
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: day to day. It's the same thing you know in

562
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: the United States. But some guys may say, you know,

563
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be a rapper. I mean, I'm trying.

564
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: You may have a lot of too, like.

565
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 2: And look to ask that.

566
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 5: It's like, because there's so many alternatives, you probably already

567
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 5: have got the opportunity. You're not going to find like

568
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 5: a six or five dude have never been approached to play,

569
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 5: you know.

570
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 2: What I'm saying. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

571
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: You see, you had the high school where the football is,

572
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: You had the high school where the basketball.

573
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 5: These guys like they've never had any opportunity, Like they

574
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 5: were just diamond in the roof, like we found you know,

575
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 5: like that's the first time being like seen as they.

576
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 2: Got cherish.

577
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: The opportunity and what you have to say too, And

578
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: this is what I don't I don't want to paint

579
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: a picture of the brothers that we're talking about, thinking

580
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: they're all in poverty. Like you got some royals that

581
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: are also you know, into the camps, some that are

582
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: already like well they already have a well technique, they've

583
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: been training. You had a few of those guys, right,

584
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: you can tell, yeah, and you can tell the ones

585
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: that have actually been training. You may have something that's

586
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: coming from you know, South Africa, something that's coming from

587
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: that area.

588
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 2: And the ones that played basketball, you could really.

589
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: Yea basketball is pretty moving pretty well through Africa American stuff.

590
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's good.

591
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 4: It's real good to see, man, Like you know, what

592
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 4: you guys are doing bringing exposure, you know what I'm saying,

593
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 4: and this sort of opportunities over to your countries.

594
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, These are your people. And

595
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: it goes a long way, and it says a lot

596
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: out each of you. You know what I'm saying and

597
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: who you are, and of course you know you you

598
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: going over there and being a part of the NFL Africa, Like.

599
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 2: Just what what what is it?

600
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: What has it meant to you to be a part

601
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: of that for you know what I'm saying these past

602
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: two three years, uh, since you guys have been going

603
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: over there, I.

604
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 5: Mean, it's been really important to me just to be

605
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 5: able to make a difference. You know, we got we

606
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 5: got like Rod coming out now, you know, like I

607
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 5: know NFL Africa. At the birth of it, we didn't

608
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 5: they thought it was gonna be more just like players

609
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 5: from Africa, you know. So for like if you came,

610
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 5: that would be such a you know, it would just

611
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 5: show so much growth from where we started, you know,

612
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 5: just getting so much bigger. More people in Africa gonna

613
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 5: get an opportunity.

614
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: So so I love its cool and I think it's

615
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: it's a stepping stone.

616
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: I think that once people are starting to see it more,

617
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: then guys will also go back and do more camps. Right,

618
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: maybe out one hundred players, right to do more camps,

619
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: but not only just camps, but to do something that's

620
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: more sustainable. Maybe take four or five, maybe ten guys

621
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: and develop a program for them to stay in touch

622
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: with them every month instead of like doing one camp

623
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: and it's leaving it done, or doing something more sustainable

624
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: in the community, such as maybe a water well or

625
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: seeing if we do some solar panels. However that may

626
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: look like in reference to the benefit of the area

627
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: that you're doing it in, you know, and so Africa

628
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: is great, right, But to find something that's going to

629
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: stick with the community and give to the community instead

630
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: of just you know, maybe hey, I'm evaluate this guy, come.

631
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 5: Over here, Like the community is something that is self

632
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 5: sustainable that they can have without us.

633
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: Have always come back exactly correct, right, and I think

634
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: it's still for education. So one of my aims is

635
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: to get a lot of the guys here, whether it's Cleveland,

636
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: Brown's NFL and have them contribute, because I want to

637
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: have an academy in Ghana, right, not only just any academy,

638
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: but a problem to solution academy, right, and something that

639
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: is stemmed from pure education, but for the education of

640
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: the benefit of the people that's involved, and not more like,

641
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: you know, just an education and just in the broad sense,

642
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, you go to college, you don't figure out

643
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: what you want to major to, you know, not that,

644
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: but more so aimed too. Okay, hey you got this issue,

645
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, you got you know, an environmental issue, you

646
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: may have a you know, gender based issue, whatever it

647
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: may may look like, and trying to solve those issues

648
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: instead of just kind of making it very you know,

649
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: broad or abstract.

650
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 2: You know.

651
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: So I think that's what I think that the NFL

652
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: Africa has done for the maybe the lift off or

653
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: the stepping stool for other guys to be conscientious and

654
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: be conscious of I think what's needed there.

655
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, yeah, boy speaking man, no doubt you

656
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 3: can tell they passionate about it, yes, sir, Yeah, sir.

657
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 3: You know it's a little different looking at it as

658
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 3: a little hearing about it, and it's a little different,

659
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 3: you know, like we grow up and like you know,

660
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 3: you give back, you know, I get back in my community.

661
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: But it's like it's a little different. I wanted to

662
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 3: see it, Like I'm excited to go now because I

663
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 3: want to see it.

664
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 5: Like and you know, see like we also got like

665
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 5: you know, we did we did the camps, but we

666
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 5: got to like just like connect like with our ancestors

667
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 5: as well.

668
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 2: We went to I don't know what the area is called.

669
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 2: It's called Cape Coast, known as the Gold Coast.

670
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: During the slave it was like where like I guess

671
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: the biggest like slave trade, Like yeah, so I want

672
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: to speak wrong. Yeah, yeah, so it was one of

673
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: the major areas.

674
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 2: The area was.

675
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: In past times called Elmina. Elmina was known as a

676
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: very you know, broad and kind of one of the

677
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: first areas you know that the Portuguese went, you know,

678
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: to learn how to work the ships. We learned how

679
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: to work the trade routes and really show up, you know,

680
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: in mercy to a lot of African chiefs and leaders.

681
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 2: Uh.

682
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: Contrary to what may be the you know, the narrative,

683
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: they kind of showed up like hey, like you know,

684
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: we want to learn from you at first. But then

685
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: you know, of course they established a huge castle. There

686
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: was a church underneath or above. The actual slave dungeons

687
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: were like the blood and you know, the change. So

688
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: we can talk about that, but it is a very

689
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: like high energy place because so many of the slaves

690
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: has passed.

691
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 2: Through that area. We got to visit like the actual

692
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 2: like yeah, yeah, so for me experience.

693
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 4: And going to doing being a part of like NFL

694
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 4: Africa will be my first experience over in Africa. So

695
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 4: you know, there's something that has been near and there

696
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 4: on my heart trying to you know, get there. And

697
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 4: this is definitely give me a reason, you know what

698
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 4: I'm saying, the right reasons. I always wanted to go. Yeah,

699
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 4: And it was like like you always think of a

700
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 4: reason not to write up, like or why not I

701
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 4: would go somewhere else. But there's there's our roots, there's

702
00:34:58,960 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 4: our time.

703
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: It's important, like I think, especially like when more guys

704
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: are starting to come, you know, came and you know

705
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 1: we're coming like more of a you know, a more

706
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: vibrant place to be. But I tell people all the

707
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 1: time when they go to the land, do something cultural first,

708
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: Do something traditionally rich first, instead of maybe going to

709
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: the capital city, so you know, go in the middle

710
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 1: of the country, usually towards the middle of the country,

711
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: maybe northern of the countries where a lot of the

712
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: tradition realized. Of course the coast as well. Uh, but

713
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: get away from the tourism a little bit, you know,

714
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: I want to immerse mysel commercial.

715
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 2: Environment. Don't stay with him, go with him Yeah.

716
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 4: Well, you know, so I definitely know who I'm gonna

00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 4: go with for sure. Make sure dropped the right names.

718
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. I can't wait, man, yeahs

719
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 4: doing this all right, let's stand on the screen.

720
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I gotta talk about gotta talk about it,

721
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:10,279

00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 2: I said.

726
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 3: I gotta move out the way with no doubt that

727
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna You came with something that, Yeah, you

728
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 3: felt away general, you felt the way you can tell

Speaker 3: about it about the face structure, different, different energy different,

730
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:34,120
