Renowned Ghanaian vlogger, Wode Maya, has delivered a message to Africans on the need to liberate themselves from what he describes as modern-day slavery.
In a video shared on X on May 30, 2025, Wode Maya, widely known for his advocacy for African development, expressed concerns over the continent’s reliance on foreign powers.
According to him, countries like Russia, China, and several European nations do not have Africa’s best interests at heart.
“These nations are only after Africa’s natural resources. Africans must wake up and stop placing their trust in foreign powers that exploit rather than empower,” he stated.
Wode Maya’s comments have since sparked a wave of discussion online, with netizens praising his call for greater self-reliance and unity among African nations.
“Africa can only be built by Africans. Don’t let anyone lie to you! China is not your friend, Russia is not your friend. Europeans are not your friends,” he said.
Wode Maya, however, called on African countries to trade among themselves and also avoid engaging in political conflicts.
“It’s about time for you to start trading with each other. It’s about time for us to put our differences and tribal stuff aside. We should put our political affiliation aside, come together, and build Africa,” he added.
