Highlife musician Ben Brako has asked foreigners who visit Ghana as part of the Beyond the Return agenda, to learn things about the country.
Although he lauded the initiative, he also noted that most of these visitors have a mindset of coming to Ghana to rather enlighten the people.
“I think it is a very good idea but I don’t know if the execution met the expectations. And also another issue from the returnees angle, that some of them do not perceive it in a  way it should because they think that they are coming to bring enlightenment and light to people in the dark. In my point of view, they should come and learn, understand some of the root things about who they are," he made the admonition on Joy FM's Showbiz A-Z.
According to him, there are a lot of good things about Ghanaian culture and heritage that need to be sold to the outside world.
Beyond the Return' is a follow-up to the Year Of Return Ghana celebration held in 2019, a commemoration of the 400th Anniversary of the arrival of the first recorded enslaved Africans in Jamestown Virginia in 1619.
The landmark campaign also celebrated the resilience of the African over the past 400 years and welcomed all people of African origin to return to Africa especially Ghana.
The prospects of the initiative drawing many people into the country, birthed the idea to continue with the cause. The result as been the Beyond the Return agenda and its concomitant activities especially December in GH.
