Accra, the vibrant heart of Ghana, recently became the backdrop for something special, a meeting between two passionate African storytellers: Mr. BMG from South Sudan and Ghana’s own Wode Maya. But this wasn’t just a casual link-up. It was a moment of shared purpose, a celebration of African culture, and a reminder of the power of African voices telling African stories.
Mr. BMG has been capturing the soul of South Sudan through his lens, showcasing the rhythm of Juba’s streets, the calm of Terekeka’s landscapes, visiting hikers at Jebel Kujur, and the culture of his people. With a bold personality and a storyteller’s heart, he introduces viewers to local artists, rising talents, and everyday citizens shaping South Sudan’s creative spirit. With over 106,000 followers, his voice is growing louder, and more people are starting to listen.
But his curiosity doesn’t stop at South Sudan’s borders. His recent trip to Ghana brought him face to face with one of Africa’s most beloved content creators, Wode Maya. Known for his warmth, wit, and unwavering mission to reshape Africa’s global image, through touring African countries. Wode Maya has built a loyal audience of over 2.8 million people. From Kenya to Rwanda to the Congo and beyond, he’s shown the world a different side of the continent: one filled with innovation, resilience, and joy. South Sudan, in fact, remains one of the countries he remembers most fondly.
So when Mr. BMG and Wode Maya met in Accra, it wasn’t just two influencers hanging out, it was a brotherhood in motion. They weren’t just filming. They were connecting. They were listening, learning, and lifting each other up.
Walking through Accra’s colorful streets, they shared laughter with street vendors, took selfies with fans, and exchanged stories with curious strangers. They captured the city's pulse, not in a polished, distant way, but with open hearts and down-to-earth conversations. It was raw, real, and refreshing.
What struck people the most wasn’t the cameras or the followers, it was how they made everyone feel seen. A child waving shyly. A grandmother cracking a joke and a warm laugh. A young creator asking for advice. These weren’t staged moments. They were pure human connection.
Their conversations weren’t just about content creation or going viral. They dug deeper, talking about why it matters who tells Africa’s story, why it's time Africans own their narrative, and how unity across borders can spark a movement far greater than any algorithm.
Wode Maya has long said that Africa doesn’t need a new image, it just needs the truth to be told by those who live it. And Mr. BMG is doing exactly that for South Sudan, shining a light on voices that are too often left in the shadows.
Together, they’re showing what’s possible when creators lift each other up instead of competing, when collaboration replaces comparison, and when the mission becomes bigger than the individual.
One of the most touching moments during their time in Accra wasn’t even planned. They visited a local neighborhood, not for content, not for press, just to say hello. What they got in return was more than they expected: open doors, warm hugs, heartfelt stories, and the kind of joy that doesn’t need translation.
Their journey reminds us that Africa is rich, not just in resources, but in spirit, in creativity, in people. And when we come together to share that with the world, we’re not just making content, we're making history
Mr. BMG and Wode Maya have shown us that adventure isn’t always about going somewhere new. Sometimes, it’s about seeing each other, really seeing and choosing to tell stories that connect us. Their paths may be different, but their purpose is shared: to celebrate Africa, one story at a time.
