Several countries in the Caribbean are in the race to become the global Caribbean destination for visitors as well as create a stronger bond between their fellow blacks in Africa.
With this year being marked as the Year of Return in Ghana marking 400 years since slaves set foot in America, and the Year of Festivals declared by the Caribbean Tourism Organization, several avenues are being explored and created to unite the black community through history, culture and like-mindedness.
Following the visa waiver agreements with Cameroon, Ethiopia, Liberia, Morocco, Senegal, Rwanda, Burkina Faso and Ghana by the Barbadian government, Guyana is also strengthening ties with African countries starting with Ghana.
The two countries signed the visa waiver agreement on Tuesday making it possible for citizens of both countries holding all types of passports to travel without visas.
The agreement was signed by the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of both countries in the presence of their Presidents during a two-day state visit to Guyana by President Nana Akufo Addo of Ghana.
Speaking to the media, Guyana’s Director General of the Ministry of the Presidency, Joseph Harmon, stated that “In the initial stages, they will be entitled to at least 90 days without having to renew, but after 90 days then there will be a requirement for a renewal based on the laws of the respective countries.”
President Nana Akufo Addo also promised the Guyanese government and its people a more solid interaction between the two countries pledging to support them in various sectors such as Oil and Gas, education and tourism opportunities. The Ghanaian president was conferred with The Order of Excellence of Guyana, the highest national award of the country by President David Arthur Granger.
The two countries share great similarities in culture and history as a large percentage of blacks trace their roots to Akan, Fanti or Ewe heritage of Ghana. In addition, the first presidents of both countries, Kwame Nkrumah and Forbes Burnham were very close friends.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league."
