In this conversation from Ghana, Ɔbenfo (Professor) Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon, Nataki Kambon, and Kala Kambon break down major changes to Ghana’s citizenship requirements and what those changes mean for historic diasporans who have repatriated (or are preparing to).They explain how a once streamlined pathway has shifted into a process with steep new costs and new hurdles, including concerns about fairness, representation, and whether these policies align with the long-stated spirit of “return” and reparative justice.Key points discussedThe previous administrative fee of 1,500 Ghana cedis (about $150) vs. the new $2,500 (about 25,000 Ghana cedis) citizenship feeRequirements and obstacles being reported (including concerns about proof of ties, residency, clearances, and language standards)Why the historic diaspora is a uniquely impacted group, and why “a seat at the table” mattersThe organizing response: 14 diaspora organizations, a press conference/town hall, and engagement with government officialsHow this shift impacts not just individuals, but also job creation, investments, retirees, and families building long-term futures in GhanaWhat you can do nextStay informed / get updateshttps://www.repatriatetoghana.comWebsite: https://decadeofourrepatriation.comJoin the newsletter via the form on the site.Text for more information (TEXT ONLY)+1 301 244 9072Text your name, phone number, email address, plus the words: “Ghana citizenship”(They advised: do not call—text only.)Chapters (timestamps)0:00 – Greetings from Ghana + why this matters now3:30 – What the old process looked like6:00 – Fee increase explained (cedis ↔ USD)8:30 – Concerns about “ties,” proof, and fairness14:00 – Organizing response + town hall / press conference24:00 – Requesting answers + meeting with government37:00 – Economic impact: jobs, businesses, investments41:00 – Caller question: U.S. politics and dual citizenship discussion46:00 – How to get updates and stay connectedNote: This discussion reflects what the speakers were seeing and responding to in real time.

@BSEGhana@DOORUpdates https://www.decadeofourrepatriation.com https://www.repatriatetoghana.com https://www.abibitumi.com/appsRex Owusu Marfo (popularly known as Rex Omar), Coordinator of the Black Star Experience Secretariat under the Office of the President, explains the vision behind this special government initiative to rebrand Ghana through culture, arts, and tourism. He outlines the Secretariat’s seven pillars—storytelling, cinema, music, cuisine, aesthetics, heritage/culture, and literary works—and highlights its role in attracting investment into the creative economy and tourism ecosystem to strengthen infrastructure and long-term development.He stresses that the Black Star Experience is bigger than entertainment or “Dirty December,” calling on brothers and sisters in the diaspora to view Ghana not merely as a place to visit, but as a home to reconnect with spiritually and a place to build with purpose. In the follow-up, he connects this cultural rebranding to the 2026–2036 Decade of Our Repatriation, explaining how government agencies are working together to support repatriation, encourage investment, and foster collaboration between returnees and local Ghanaians to develop the land for future generations.
He was wrongly arrested in the US and put before court and won the case. He has since repatriated to Ghana and has never looked back and vows never to step foot in America ever again. Enjoy my chat with Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon

This video captures goodwill messages delivered during the historic MoU signing and unveiling of the Black Panther Party Cubs (BPPC) Ghana Community Embassy / Continental Liaison Office hosted at Abibitumi Headquarters in Akuapem Mampɔn, Ghana on Saturday, 24 January 2026.Nana Yirenkyi, Apɛsɛmakahene and representative of the Akuapem Mampɔn Traditional Council shared remarks pledging to engage traditional leadership to support and promote the Abibitumi agenda, and expressed gratitude on behalf of the people and traditional rulers. Other participants also offered goodwill messages in support of the initiative.Dr. Ɛfo Sela Adjei and D.O.O.R. partner Cashawn Myers of HABESHA Foundation speaker thanked Chairman Dr. Fred Hampton Jr. for joining and for taking the initiative to open an important new chapter for Black people in Ghana. They affirmed ongoing support “on the ground,” emphasizing the shared commitment to nurturing a new generation of Black founders and freedom fighters through principled unity and practical collaboration.Event context (for accurate reportage):• This program unveiled the BPPC Ghana Community Embassy at Abibitumi Headquarters.• This is a community embassy / continental liaison office — not a diplomatic embassy issuing state documents.• The focus is repatriation and structured pathways for diaspora-based Black people to reconnect and build in Ghana and beyond.Location: Abibitumi Headquarters, 1 Abibitumi Way, Akuapem Mampɔn, Ghana#abibitumi #blackpantherpartycubs #repatriation #ghana #AkuapemMampɔn #fredhampton #blackpowerranger https://www.decadeofourrepatriation.com
On Saturday, 24 January 2026 (2:00 PM GMT), Abibitumi Headquarters (1 Abibitumi Way, Akuapem Mampɔn, Eastern Region, Ghana) hosted a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing and the unveiling of the Black Panther Party Cubs (BPPC) Ghana Community Embassy / Continental Liaison Office.This event is about REPATRIATION (not “reparations” in the conventional sense). The purpose of the BPPC Community Embassy is to serve as a structured point of contact on the continent—providing reception, orientation, and practical pathways for BPPC members and families (and aligned networks) who want to repatriate to Ghana and beyond through values-aligned support.IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION (for accurate reporting):Some early coverage mistakenly framed this event as the unveiling of Abibitumi as the UNIA embassy. That UNIA Embassy was established under a separate MoU signed in 2025 between the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), Abibitumi, and RepatriateToGhana.com (R2GH). Saturday’s event (24 Jan 2026) was specifically the BPPC Community Embassy unveiling under a new MoU.Reference (UNIA 2025 MoU coverage):https://www.myjoyonline.com/un....ia-signs-mou-with-ab & run of show:The program opened with mini-documentaries on Chairman Fred Hampton Sr. and the continued work of Chairman Dr. Fred Hampton Jr. This provided context for why Chairman Fred Hampton Sr. (posthumously) and Chairman Dr. Fred Hampton Jr. received citation awards at the Abibitumi Conference and Abibifahodie Festival 2025, prior to Chairman Dr. Fred Hampton Jr.’s arrival.Key themes highlighted during the event included:• 60 years of the Black Panther Party (founded 1966)• 20 years of Abibitumi (founded 2006)• 100 years of Black History Month (originating 1926)• Major Black world events in years ending in “26,” reinforcing a long historical arc beyond a single country or single date• D.O.O.R. (Decade of Our Repatriation), framed as “self-reparations” through repatriation and nation-building actionThe D.O.O.R. initiative—spearheaded by Ɔbenfo (Professor) Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon and endorsed by the Office of the President (Diaspora Affairs Office) and the Ghana Tourism Development Company (GTDC)—focuses on practical repatriation outcomes (citizenship pathways, housing, integration, and economic opportunities). This self-reparations framework complements (but is distinct from) externally-directed reparations efforts pursued in the conventional sense by other actors, including President Mahama in his A.U.-linked reparations role and Hon. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah.Venue: Abibitumi Headquarters, 1 Abibitumi Way, Akuapem Mampɔn, GhanaPress / Media: pa@abibitumi.com | +233 54 502 8875Registration page: https://abibitumi.com/BlackPantherPartyCubsMore info on D.O.O.R. https://www.decadeofourrepatriation.com#Abibitumi #blackpantherpartycubs #repatriation #door #blackhistorymonth #fredhampton #ghana #panafricanism

On December 4th, 1969, the Black Panther Party’s Illinois Chairman Fred Hampton was murdered by police. But his story is about much more than the raid that took his life. The movement Hampton helped create was unique, and revolutionary.
In the late 1960s, Fred Hampton helped lead a coalition of activists, working across racial lines against a corrupt city government that threatened their communities. At the core of their work were social programs, including free breakfasts, health clinics, and legal aid. Hampton named the group the Rainbow Coalition. And because of their impact, it wasn’t long before they got the attention of the police and the FBI. What followed was an assassination, and a coverup.

Repatriate to Ghana (or somewhere): “Anywhere is better than there.” In this real-time walk-and-talk, we take you through Abibitumi Headquarters, the surrounding land, and the practical mindset of building a life back home — land, community, culture, food, solar power, and forward motion.
You’ll see:
• A land walk-through (boundaries, farmers on the land, leveling plans, and how we handle compensation with courtesy)
• A tour of Abibitumi Headquarters (solar carport, Ghana-made craftsmanship, gardens, and the Grandestor Garden)
• What “building with intention” looks like — from local materials (stone/wood) to architecture rooted in worldview and symbolism
• Conversations on miseducation, decolonizing the mind, and why we must become a people of doers, not just sayers
Akwaaba. You’re coming home.
