President Mahama Speaks Out! Reparative Citizenship for the Historic Diaspora Is a Right! Ọbádélé Kambon 41 Views • 24 days ago

On 28 December 2016, President John Dramani Mahama addressed a historic citizenship ceremony in Ghana, where members of the Historic Diaspora were granted Ghanaian citizenship.In this speech, President Mahama framed the ceremony as part of Ghana’s long Pan-African legacy, connecting it to Nana Kwame Nkrumah, Nana Marcus Garvey, W.E.B. Du Bois, George Padmore, Martin Luther King Jr., and the broader struggle for Black liberation and return. He described the enslavement trade as “the most evil act ever perpetrated by humans on other humans” and declared that Ghana was helping turn the “Door of No Return” into a door of return.Most importantly, President Mahama stated that restoring citizenship to descendants of those displaced through enslavement was not a favor, but a matter of rightful restoration:“I deserve no thanks or praise, because I’m giving back to you what rightfully belong to you.”This video is especially relevant in the context of the historic Decade of Our Repatriation (2026-2036) and the current Black Agenda petition for fair, transparent, accessible, restorative, and representative reform of Historic Diaspora reparative citizenship, representation, and inclusion in Ghana.Sign and share the petition here:https://www.change.org/ghanacitizenshipThe process must match the promise.Recorded and transcribed by Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon - 28 December 2016. https://decadeofourrepatriatio....n.com/exclusive-28-d #historicdiaspora #reparativejustice #blackagenda #decadeofourrepatriation #ghana #panafricanism #doorofreturn #citizenship #rightofreturn

AFRICAN STORIES WITHOUT BORDERS! BUILD-UP TO THE 2026 ABIBITUMI ABIBIFAHODIE FILM FESTIVAL
AFRICAN STORIES WITHOUT BORDERS! BUILD-UP TO THE 2026 ABIBITUMI ABIBIFAHODIE FILM FESTIVAL Ọnuọra Abụah 24 Views • 24 days ago

African storytelling is taking center stage once again — not just as entertainment, but as a powerful tool for identity, history, liberation, and global cultural connection.

On this edition of the Morning Show Conversation Segment, Afia TV spotlights the build-up to the 2026 Abibitumi Abibifahodie Film Festival, an international platform dedicated to celebrating authentic African stories, Black identity, cultural memory, and diaspora connection through film and creative expression.

Joining the conversation is Ọnụọra Abuah, Director of the Abibitumi Film Festival & Conference, as we explore the vision behind one of the most culturally significant African-centered film gatherings bringing together filmmakers, storytellers, scholars, creatives, and audiences from across the continent and the global African diaspora.

Organized by Abibitumi and the Decade of Our Repatriation (DOOR) initiative, the festival is more than a showcase of films — it is a movement rooted in reclaiming African narratives and strengthening connections between Africans on the continent and descendants of Africa across the world.

At a time when global media spaces are increasingly questioning representation, ownership of narratives, and cultural authenticity, the Abibitumi Abibifahodie Film Festival seeks to create a platform where African stories are told by Africans, for Africans, and with the fullness of African identity intact.This conversation examines the growing influence of African cinema, the importance of preserving indigenous stories, and the role film can play in reconnecting communities separated by history, migration, and the transatlantic slave trade.
What kinds of stories are shaping the 2026 edition?How is African cinema evolving beyond stereotypes and survival narratives?And why are festivals like this becoming increasingly important in the global cultural conversation?From heritage and spirituality to resistance, identity, language, migration, and liberation, the festival promises to spotlight films that challenge dominant narratives while celebrating the richness and complexity of African experiences.


As Nollywood, independent African cinema, and diaspora storytelling continue gaining international recognition, platforms like Abibitumi are helping redefine what global African storytelling can look like — bold, rooted, unapologetic, and deeply connected to history.This is more than film.It is memory, identity, culture, and connection projected onto the screen.
