Year of Return was timely and fulfilled Biblical prophecy.

Speaking at a News
Conference to launch the “Return of the Royals” an event to commemorate 400
years since the first 20 enslaved Africans landed in America, quoting from
Genesis 15:13-14 saying, “Know certainly that your descendants will be
strangers in a land that is not theirs and will serve them and they will
inflict them 400 hundred years.

And also, the nation
whom they serve, I will judge. Afterwards, they shall come out with great
possessions”

She said it was not
an accident that the President declared 2019 as the Year of Return as the event
scheduled to take place from December 7 to December 16 would feature programmes
such as the Business and Dual Citizenship Forum, Discussions on Business and
Investment Opportunities in Ghana, a travel to the slave dungeons in Cape
Coast, Adoption, Renaming and Baptism at the Royal Ocansey Healing Waters in
Ada, Enstoolment and Coronation of Chief, among others.

The event would also
bring on board some business giants such as Rev Dr Michael V. Roberts, founder
of the Billionaire Brothers, Mr Gregory Jackson, founder and CEO of Jackson
Automotive Management, Rev Dr Jamal Bryant, Senior Pastor of the New Birth
Missionary Baptist Church, Bishop Jerry Demmer, Founder and CEO of the Absolute
Word Church, among others to hold seminars and explore opportunities in
business areas.

Mr Akwasi Awuah
Ababio, Director for Diaspora Affairs, Office of the President and Chairman of
the Year of Return said the efforts of government to bring back fellow Africans
from the diaspora was to help in the development of the country and to achieve
the “Ghana Beyond Aid” agenda.

brothers across the ocean to join in the movement back to the soils of their
origin.
