﻿Ghana's idea to develop a modern city named Wakanda is gaining momentum.
For those who believe that the fictional nation of Wakanda is a fantasy that will never come to
pass in real life, wait until you hear that this is about to change for the first time
in history thanks to the inauguration of the Wakanda City of Return initiative in Ghana.
The Wakanda City of Return project in Ghana has been officially unveiled,
and it is meant to be a lasting legacy of the Ghana government's year of return
celebrations. And it is in addition to the return tourist initiatives. City of Cape Coast officials
have signed a memorandum of understanding with the African Diasporic Development Institute,
as well as with local businesses, to pave the way for the development of an ultra-modern smart city
to be known as the Wakanda city of return, according to reports.
Welcome to ThinkRich Media the community which brings to you entrepreneurial,

We also want to introduce you to our special African development playlist because we strongly
believe entrepreneurship rather than global pity is the key to Africa’s growth and development,
so if you’re African and you aren’t subscribed yet you are missing out!
The multibillion-dollar project's participants hope to create a place of pilgrimage for
individuals of African origin as well as other tourists who want to learn about the history,
culture, and civilization of Africa, as well as the continent's role in the development of the
new world order. Thousands of people from all over the world are anticipated to go to Ghana
to see the ultra-modern structure based after the architecture of Kansas City, which was featured
in the popular Black Panther film. Also planned is for it to serve as a center for teaching about the
history of the black race. The city's construction is in keeping with the numerous tourist
attractions in the surrounding area, which draw a large number of visitors from across the world.
In Ghana's central region, the city of Cape Coast is widely regarded as the country's tourism hub
and a mecca for African descent in the diaspora. Every year, thousands of black people from
all over the world travel to Cape Coast and other historic slave sites to learn about the
transatlantic slave trade and its consequences. The region was a hotspot of the slave trade, which
resulted in millions of Africans being uprooted and transported to the New World. The coastal
region is home to a variety of castles and prisons that were once used to hold enslaved men and women
for days before being transported to the Americas to labor on various plantation operations.
The building of five-star hotels, a heritage promenade, retreat and conference facilities,
as well as the continental corporate headquarters of the African Diaspora Development Institute,
are expected to transform the coasts of Cape Coast in the near future. At the Jamboree,
Her Excellency Ambassador Aragon, Coco, the former African Union representative to the United States
and the President of the African Diaspora Development Institute,
praised the honorable Ernest Arthur, the mayor of Cape Coast,
for his commitment to seeing that this project comes to fruition and for ensuring that it is
successful. During the meeting, she expressed her willingness to mobilize finances in order for the
construction to begin as soon as possible. Here are some of her thoughts about the project.
“Greetings, my name is Ambassador. Former African Union ambassador to the United States, I'm also
co-founder and president of the African Diaspora Development Institute, which was established
to serve as a link between Africans living abroad and their home countries on the African continent.
I'm also a former ambassador to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA). It is with
great pleasure that we gather today to commemorate a major milestone, one that has been requested
by our very own President, Leonardo. Following your declaration of 2019 as the year of return,
millions of you descended to Ghana last year. 20th of April, 2019. For those of you who are
unaware, 80 percent of the slaves that left Africa for the Americas were drawn into Ghana
and then transported out of Ghana through two books. You have paid honor to our beloved
Continental. HOW MUCH DID IT COST TO BE KEPT? They are referred to as castles,
while we refer to them as dungeons. Those who went to the United States of America. It was
decided who would be sent to the Caribbean and South America, and those who would be taken
about the Cape Coast area. We were still being dragged into the Elmina dungeons. Bretton and I
were both of the opinion that, in order for us to finish the therapeutic journey, we needed to
visit a second city after this. Follow up until the end of Return, which was in 2019, a location
where we can claim that the children of Africa, descendants of those who were formerly slaves,
can finish the journey of coming back to their homeland. Take a peek at these different levels.
And those who have done so oppress Africans and people of African heritage all across the world,
despite the fact that they have been successful for more than 400 years,
yeah. When the descendants of the once enslaved can find themselves finding a home,
living at the exact last site that their ancestors stepped foot on African soil, when the descendants
of the formerly enslaved can stand up and stare across the Atlantic, we will have reached the
end of the road. And tell them once more that we have returned and that we are on our way to find
our forefathers, reminding them that it may have taken us decades to complete this task. Finally,
we can declare that the task has been completed. We're here to talk about
the establishment of the Wakanda city of return in Cape Coast, starting with the very location
where our ancestors were stolen from our beloved continent
and brought to this country. We could not have chosen a finer or more fitting
location to kick off and establish the festwochen in the city of return. This is a goal that should
have been achieved a long time ago, and we are extremely thankful to the mayor of Cape Coast
for allowing us and welcoming us to come in and join and collaborate with the city as well as the
country of Ghana to realize this ambition. The recognition of the children of Africa and the
provision of a home for them, particularly in Ghana, is a long-held desire of mine.
As a result, it was overdue. However, it was a fantasy that is now becoming a reality for him. I
am overjoyed and privileged to be able to welcome you all to the program that will be showcasing
what we are referring to as phase one of the Wakanda city of return. I hope you enjoy your
time here. We're counting on each and every one of you who participates to pay close attention
to the outcome of the game today. A monthly follow-up meeting will be held to keep you
informed of what is happening and how far along we are in our plans to move the project forward.
This is a city that must be created by the children of Africa for the children of Africa, and
they must do it themselves. We are not going to travel around the world begging for money.
We are pleading with you to recognize that you are seeing the beginning of a new chapter
in the history of the continent of Africa. We do not require assistance. When we get together,
we are really well-liked by others. This city is demanding that we, as black people all across the
world, speak with a single voice in response to this call. The children of Africa are the
only ones who can restore Africa to her former greatness, so we must band together and remind the
world of this fact once more. Only the children of Africa have the potential to restore Africa to its
former position as the world's center of gravity. Only the youngsters of Africa are included.
I wanted to return Africa to the place where we had gone on our journey.
We built the homes in which we lived, and we own the Brickyard as well. While flying in planes, we
saw the garments we would make and owned the textile mill we created. While flying in planes,
we built the planes and owned the airport. We finished constructing the level line,
and we are now in the driveway, where we drove the trains. I'm talking about an Africa that has
complete authority over an economy that has yet to be established; an Africa that is demanding
that regular colonization be reinstated; and an Africa that is insisting that the
wishes of our Pan African fathers, who began their work in 1963, be carried out.
This morning, my brothers and sisters, we begin the process of transferring a new list
of priorities for constructing the Africa that we want, and for building a sustainable Africa for us
by us, to a greener city of return. It could not have come at a more opportune time. Please allow
me and my colleagues to express our gratitude to President Annatto for providing us with this
opportunity to continue the process of healing and repatriation of our children
who have been lost in the wilderness for far too long, and for allowing us to do so. Thank you for
bringing an adult. Thank you for your assistance, which may have saved money. Thank you, King of the
Kingdom of Africa, for your assistance. Please accept my gratitude on behalf of Nana advocacy
and everyone else who helped make this occasion a success. Continuing our deliberations is something
we are looking forward to, and we look forward to seeing you every month as we keep you updated on
the construction of this lovely city of Wakanda.” We all have a home in Africa as Africans which is
only logical. Wakanda city of return is the opportunity given by the Ghanaian government
to every Ghanaian all over the world to get a home in Ghana. It is touching that they get the chance
to transform the last places their ancestors saw back home before being taken in to slavery.
They are rewriting history and making it better. Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
