The musician in particular expressed his joy to the fact that Mayweather and other American superstars walked the streets of Osu, Accra, in the Year of Return and encouraged Ghanaians to keep talking well of Ghana wherever they find themselves.

The ‘God dey bless me’ hitmaker remarked that Ghanaians have shown the world that they are civilised and are beautiful people who have swag and style.

“Year of Return is beautiful; I love it, I’m happy to hear that Mayweather (former boxer) was walking on the Oxford streets, and we should position ourselves by speaking well about our country, everyone seeing themselves as an ambassador of the country, shedding great light and good lights about Ghana,” Cwesi Oteng said while speaking with Natalia Andoh on Class FM in Accra.

“Thank God for social media, Ghanaian girls are rocking it, guys are doing amazing stuffs, we are showing that some of us here are more civilised than some of the places that we want to go. Africa has come a long way and thanks to self-development, and the vision that people have grown to become international in thought and I believe that social media has done a good job of that; globally opening everybody’s eyes to swag, style and beauty,” he added.

The 'Year of Return' is Ghana’s initiative that was launched by President Akufo-Addo to commemorate 400 years since the first slaves from Africa arrived at Jamestown in the United States.
Because of its mass appeal and influence on Ghana’s tourism sector, the government has launched the “Beyond the Return” campaign to derive maximum dividend from Ghana’s relations with the diaspora in mutually beneficial co-operation, and as partners for shared growth and development.
