way you take care of the motherland we take care down [Music] here the greens and the blues yo one of the most beautiful place that I've ever been man hands [Music] down one thing about Tobago I need you all to know it is a good country we we we Embrace everyone in the world Tobago is love Tobago is beautiful natural beauty no Photoshop exactly beo is the only place in the world you can visit live like a local and return home feeling fulfilled that is why you must visit Tobago that is why you must Trek all this way to this greatest Little Island on the planet small island tiny Island but we pack a mighty punch we are home to one of the largest protected rainforests in the Western Hemisphere what do you think about the view the view is amazing it's like as we were saying before if you don't want to go to the beach and the blue you can see Greens in Tobago Countryside is beautiful here indeed Tobago is the greatest Little Island on planet Earth it is the best in the Caribbean oh [Music] wow this is pigon point Heritage Park uh this is maintained by the Tobago House of Assembly Tobago is a paradise but there are two places on this island that really defines the word Paradise which is the nylon pool the last one is Pigeon Point African All the Way Pigeon Point big one love one love [Music] together look at that my goodness just feeling like a kid in a candy shop with this view look at the beach super clean Beach can can you guys see it I mean this is a paradise my goodness see the different shades of colors of the ocean different shades I mean they say water is colorless if it get closer here it looks white if you take it with it it looks blue and it becomes even deep Bluer and look at the skies man Tobago is a paradise [Music] bro I feel like life in Tobago is all about the beach I mean there got so many beaches that I'm even tired of seeing them but one thing that I would say about this beach is the fact that it's more touristic almost everyone that I see in here came here for the weekend and people are actually living their best life man I feel like this country God want it it's super clean I mean wherever you go they try as much as possible to take care of the place so you can actually sit here and eat and have the best time of your life you know because what I'm seeing right now is like you got your arm um people are sitting on there people are sunb you're calling me I thought you calling someone else your Instagram not your Facebook Facebook nice to meet you nice to meet you my brother how are you doing how good good what what is the name of this beach Pigeon Point Pigeon Point I feel like it's more touristic it is wow I getting my [Music] ideas you you are you a a fitness trainer no you just work out yeah wow I'm actually a surgeon you're what a surgeon why you from Trinidad are you from Tobago no Trinidad from Trinidad how does it feel being in Tobago man I'm here often but it's relaxing wow and where you from I'm from Ghana bro yeah what you doing hereit my tribe is from Ghana your what my tribe your tribe is from Ghana M wow which part of Ghana do you think you're from uh what's your tribe part fani some Evo and some Ashanti oh so these are aanti aant yeah this Adra Adra you know Adra yeah I know my history I love that if you have a message for Africans living in Africa what would that message be we need to come together man we are the most powerful people on the planet so we should come together in Tobago whenever you get tired of the sea Vibes I mean if you get tired of seeing the sea all the time you can actually go to the countryside and immers yourself in the greens man just look at what is in front of me this city or island is a paradise on it own man [Music] so one common thing that you will see in the Caribbean is the cocoa plant and the fact that in Ghana my Coco plant are so short but this ones are so tall this is what I was telling you they would have been short a long time many years ago right it would have been much shorter but since the government don't we don't export Coco again right so we come like nobody's working in the plantation anymore so that doesn't mean that it used thees are gr tall because you're not pruning it for it to spread so just by itself and they are going to for the sunlight so they will get tall this place used to be Plantation yes of course oh so during slavery um what kind of crops were they growing sugar cane first and then the um Coco Coco yeah so they used to export the Coco exp a lot you beinging a good income many years ago and this was the cuper pot that do all the thing in boil sugar can you know wow it's so heavy man everywhere I go in this world there's one thing that I really enjoy doing I mean chasing waterfall whether it's on land or in the sky or even within the forest I will always find it everything good everything nice man man man respect yeah respect I'm from the motherland from the motherland what part of the motherland GH GH like if I think I see your face with a house thing already is you with a house kind of program thing is know you from from where from Ghana yeah I'm from Ghana yeah but I a see on a house program no time oh yeah yeah yeah I'm the one was building a house or something for your sister or something I wow is the see I'm I'm in the middle of nowhere man I don't know if I should say I'm in a jungle yeah in the jungle in serious man yeah yeah I seen it already I seen it already I'm not a big follow of these things but remember face see theing house the one with my sister yeah jeez oh my goodness one of the reasons why I always come in here to tell you guys that pray for us like our videos share our videos so that it will reach a lot of people I mean our job is so important just because of scenes like this you know I have been to South Africa oh wow and when I went to South Africa I spoke to the guy and I was telling them we do the thing that I come from it's not Africa and it's not America they couldn't tell me ignorant of the presence of the African in the west and they didn't know tell we the w we came to the West India because of slavery it's a surprise to them it's a surprise to them it's it's not it's it's not their fault because we're not we're not touching school it's the education system exact it's the same Colonial education system and it's the same mind that is at work in Africa in the Caribbean in the America course it's the same man who practices colonialism and his imperialism throughout the Earth so that is why that knowledge and that information is the same throughout and when he couldn't do it here anymore he went and he colonized Africa instead why should I take them to the West indes when I could go to Africa and colonize them there and then 1884 when they had a Scramble for Africa the Belgium the Germans the Portuguese you know so you know Black Liberation struggle is not something that would be won tomorrow and it had to start with education and knowing your culture and your history and your roots cuz if you don't know where you come from you can't know where you're going finally made it and it's a a waterfall that is in three layers level one level two level three which you can see all of them at once really cool to be here seeing water flowing on rocks and um being surrounded by greens it's always beautiful I guess maybe in future I'll have so many pasts of the waterfalls that I've seen across the globe so this is the first level approximately 18 ft 6 M so you go inside the water and gradually gets deeper so if you realize that you cannot swim you just have to stay where you feel you are comfortable water your waist or your shoulder once you can swim go for the swim yeah so right now the water is discolor because of the sedine fold here right but it's not contaminated yeah so as the second level you'll have to pass there to go up it's a hike but the place are wet so it will be a challenge yeah yeah and the third one just like you're in a shower and the water comes down and give you a massage yeah from since I know myself from in here people say every time you go under that shower like you look like you're 10 years younger and then there's 14 more to go is 17 levels I thought it was just four levels because four levels four levels is what I can see it's too yeah what you can see it's 2 296 ft oversea levels Tobago is love and the people living in Tobago are super friendly and kind why are you giving it for me for free better to better one love love and maners ah blessings man look at that he gave me the coconut for free man I thought he was joking yes he did I asked for it I I really want to buy coconut but I don't have money I can't get one I don't have cash I continued my trip to castara and we have to chase another waterfall so where are we going we're going to the waterfall yeah I love chasing the waterfalls man so when I'm in Tobago they told me there's a mini waterfall I'm like I got to see it no matter what I didn't even have my slippers I think I was excited taking some of the shots I ended up leaving one of my slippers up on the mountain so I'm just heading to see the waterall without slippers but [Music] anyway it's actually get darker as you enter the forest look at that Lally can't see anything it's just water so got to cross ah have you been here before no

night on this beautiful island we cooked and dined with the chief Secretary of Tobago my name is f Augustine I'm a chief Secretary of Tobago so I'm the leader of the government on the island of Tobago you're in Ghana right yeah how is Ghana oh Ghana was great Ghana was amazing and Ghana was was to me almost like a spiritual J getting to the door of no return seeing what people experienced seeing how my people got to this place from [Music] Ghana I think was an eye eye opening um moment for me and in in my life and I mean I was much younger than I am now but it's it sort of said to me that we survive you know you at the do return and you look at this very narrow door that I can't pass I'm not a fat person [Music] y we are now in a room of no return this a gate of no return in this room we normally uh have just one minute silence over here for those who die L their [Music] lives through these Gates some some of them were sent to Americas West IND some part of Europe for them to work in their various mines Plantation and cut Farms the gate was very wide at the time of gold Ivory spices and so it was big later when they Chang the idea to human treat they narrowed the gate to restorate movement and about five or 10 people were chained to each other they moving on the sideways like this the sea water was closer by then now it has receded the ships will be at the shore before they will bring smaller boats to convey the captives into looking at the small siid of the gate by the time they will be here for one two or 3 months they would just lose weight they can easily pass [Music] through and it was called the DF no return because it was meant that when you pass through when never to return and for me being there it was like potic justice that you we tried everything the rough Seas horrendous boat beatings killings enslavement but I survived and I was able to return and that for me was a powerful moment just being able to return alive to say we survive this and if we could survive this then people of African descent we can survive anything you know that that that's that's the mentality I left Ghana [Music] with you know we love what you do and we are on a journey to connect Africans across the globe and that is why I'm telling you like this video subscribe and be part of this awesome Channel because that is the way of appreciating us but if we meet
