Are the two counties really alike or is it all just hype? Let's talk to Scot and find out what he thinks.

There is no need to go to any park, kids play in their own backyard in JA, lots of yard space and play area and mango trees to climb.
Tell that to those that live in housing schemes built in the last 30years, especially Portmore
Most jamaican men can swim. Girls were not allowed to go the river back in my day.
In America too
He needs to start a true Jamaican restaurant in Ghana! It would blow up!
He will be doing so, hopefully soon.
Simple..dat me say tu
Love this episode. I visited Ghana in May and have told all my friends that Ghana reminds me of a bigger, much much safer version of Jamaica. Ghanaian food is delicious and the country is green and lush. Just an absolutely beautiful country. Looking forward to visiting again.
Thanks for this video. Really enjoyed it. Now I want Chef Scott to cook some jerk chicken for me!!

You have free beaches in Jamaica
You can stay in Ghana,I live in the US but am definitely retiring in Jamaica
Enjoyable video Dela. Reminding me of my second home. Big up all Africanns and Jamaicans watching. 👊🏾🇯🇲
Stumbled on this but thoroughly enjoyed it. He's 100% accurate about everything. I wish there was a straight flight from Jamaica to Ghana especially with the no visa requirement. As a Jamaican I fantasize about the homeland. I am of the belief that if we don't know where we are from we can't envision where we are going. And likewise it would be nice for all my west African sisters/brothers/cousins to see how your spirit, culture and strength has persevered through generations.
true mi sis
Sist. Akwaaba, you always welcome home. Ghana and the good people of Ghana love you.
We are all Africa's children and you feel that sense of home when you reconnect with the continent, ESPECIALLY Ghana! We do red beans and rice in the U.S., too. Do all of the beaches charge an entry fee in Ghana? I've only been to Labadi and didn't realize this about other beaches. That's crazy if they do. Even in the money-hungry United States, our beaches are free. I didn't know Jamaicans got visa-free travel to Ghana after the Year of Return?! Now, I'm jealous! We got stuck in the USA, too! Where's our visa-free perk?! Ghana, we need to talk! LOL
Yeah most of the beaches charge unless you happen to find a little bit of coastline where there’s no one around.
Yes its been Visa free, that why I am leaving the US in 2024/2025
How do you expect them to maintain the place if it's free? Some small fee will go a long waay to pay those who pick up the trash when everyone is gone?
@@Kodwo1 Agreed
@@Kodwo1 Good question. I hadn't thought about that since our beaches are maintained by the city through our taxes and other means.
Yes! They are very similar… and I love them both so much 🇯🇲🇬🇭
I am a Jamaican living in the United States. I want to send love to all my family right across Africa. I would like to visit Ghana and Nigeria some day.
Love this video l Would love to see Ghana one day,That’s my dream 🇯🇲
I'm in love with GHANA and I've never even been there. Jamaica and Ghana...1 people ...1 love!
I gave my Jamaican colleague at work Ghana jollof and she went crazy about it
She had a Nigerian boyfriend and has tasted Nigerian jollof but she went crazy for the Ghanaian jollof
She love Ghana
My best friend is from Jamaica and she is the lady in the pic with me
It's a pity that he didn't mention all those Akan words that we've retained duppy for ghost, patu for owl, nyam for eat, poto - poto for muddy mumu for stupid, kaba kaba for worthless, gynal for con person, kooya for look here, anansi for spider, bissy for, kola nut,casha for thorn, bafan for incapable and many many more. Also the similarities in the markets, the mini bus system etc. 🇯🇲
Mumu is from nigeria
@Sade Jones by the way it was the algorithm which auto charged duppy to dumpy in my original post. Based on my research casha from acacia ( acacia tree) is a sweet thorn. The place in rural Jamaica where I grew up casha/ casha maka was used for thorn. 🇯🇲
Wow, interesting. Nyam and poto-poto are also Nigerian.
@@evemason3456 boundaries in Africa is a western construct. Different people have always migrated from place to place. Therefore custom, culture and language is not exclusive to any one people I think. I may be wrong. I stand corrected. 🇯🇲
@@jetsnitram7188 There is a connection between the Igbos of Southeastern Nigeria and a Ghanaian tribe. One example: In Igbo one of the words for 'come' is 'beeya' and in a Ghanaian language it is 'brah'. Ghanaians have said that there are more examples. It is said that some of the enslaved Africans that went to Jamaica were Igbo. Whether this directly or indirectly accounts for some of these words in Jamaican Patois, is hard to tell.
Jamaica are Africa Ghana the gateway to Africa Black Stars 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🤩
I agree with him we’re so similar. I’m Ghanaian and I had a mentor who was Jamaican but of Ghanaian origin too. That’s what I learnt. A Filipino lady once said to me Jamaica is in Africa but I corrected her it’s in the Caribbean lol. 😂
I was recently in Ghana and I have visited Jamaica several times and yes, Ghana does remind me a lot of Jamaica. I am from Trinidad and Tobago. Chef Scott is brutally honest.
I'm a yr late but I enjoyed this video, learnt a lot it was beautiful. 🇿🇦
I am 2yrs late
Enjoy this video looking forward to visiting Ghana one day.🇯🇲/🇬🇭
Great video, I have learn about the jerk chicken! Oh, yes, welcome home brother Ghana is home, I’m coming home also!❤️🙏🏽✊🏽✊🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🇬🇭🇬🇭
This was very enjoyable. TFS 🤗🤗🤗.
We don’t eat #Breadfruit but we love roasted or boiled #Breadnuts…
As children it was drummed into our heads by our Elders that #Ackee is very poisonous, but thanks to our Jamaican Kin, we are enjoying the amazing fruit.
I hear that Ackee has to be picked at a specific time otherwise it will make you sick
@@moretodelavlogs The fruit has to open up, else you go into a low hypo-glycemic state if you eat the unriped fruit.
Ras Kitchen channel has a video on 'How to Pick Ackee' (clean and prepare) if interested.
We eat both breadfruit and breadnut in the Caribbean. I wish to visit Ghana one day.
@@moretodelavlogs Unripe ackee fruit contains a substance called hypoglycin. Hypoglycin causes hypoglycemia aka low blood sugar. If you allow the ackee fruit to open on the tree, you can minimize the effect of Hypoglycin. Jamaicans like to eat roasted breadfruit and ackee and salted fish (cod). Some pair this combo with lemonade (sugar and lemon mixed in water) for lunch or if it is served as breakfast, then you will have a tea that is sweetened. Again, the addition of sugar lessen your chance of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar.
Please bring Scott back, he's just fun to listen to, really nice conversation
Jamaica has a lot fruit trees, we eat freely in each of its season. We have breadfruit and ackee all year round.
And Ghana don't?
Which part of Jamaica, u mean in the rural country side, can't recall when last I saw any tree much less fruit tree in town
@@michaelodoom1290 How is she suppose to know that?
Ackee came from africa
@Lane 170 In St. Andrew, you'll find some but yes, country full a fruit tree originated from all over the world
1 difference is one is less violence
Another difference would be the warmth of the people...
Its seems that people leave the less violence part out, but that is defnitely a factor.
Big up yu self Dela for this video. 🇯🇲 land we love. Ghana gives me that feeling of home absolutely.
That is so true Scott, I visit Jamaican restaurants in the Las Vegas and the food is not the same. I make my own jerk seasoning and sometimes cook jerk chicken for my friends, they want me to open a restaurant. I am Jamaican and living in the U.S. Hoping to visit Ghana soon, one of my bucket list places to visit. Love this, very informative and entertaining. Blessings always
I've never heard that explanation for the meaning of the word "Jamaica" before. In Jamaica we were taught that the word came from the Taino (the original inhabitants of the island) word "Xaymaca", meaning "land of wood and water".
It was the way how Ghanaian pronounce xaymaca as Jamaica I think so that name stuck
CurtisCT - Jamaicans are taught their history from a young age and of course what you’re taught there is the actual history of the island, not the made up and distorted history that others try to claim.
Now I know and believe the true meaning of Jamaica and how much sense it makes.
It may have been chosen by the people because by coincidence it had a meaning in both Languages
@@mrhimselfalone7657 What may have been chosen by the people? You’re making no sense. How can you choose to name something which has already existed for over 2,500 years, and which already has indigenous inhabitants and a name given by those inhabitants? Please read what the topic is, and read the facts, before speculating.
Our ancestors are smiling for this link up.I just love my people.as the great Bob Marley said,Africa unite for the benefit of our people.One love,one heart,lets get together and feel alright.
It's pretty cool that he happened to be a chef - oxtail, rice and beans with plantain really ripe and syrupy. I enjoyed this one.
😋😋😋😋
Rice & Peas....Minor but major detail
@@diamondrose775 You're correct and it is a major detail. Thank you.
You got me subscribed to your channel. That was an interesting conversation.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 thank you
The only place u can the real jerk is Jamaica. We have natural season.
Visited Ghana in 2017
Yes, there are many similarities especially the landscape. However,
I felt SAFE AND FREE while in Ghana… even lost my wallet and passport in a taxi, the driver returned it and had a hard time accepting a tip for his honesty.
I have no reservations about returning to Ghana and I am a Jamaican living abroad.
This brother is 100% real 🇯🇲🇬🇭 I have a spiritual connection with Ghana I'm sure my first-time visit will be emotional
Even for us in Ghana, its always emotional when we see the forts and castles and the stories the represent. but mostly you would know you're home so do visit us.
Great video!!! Thanks for sharing. RUclipsr riri has also a good video on ghana 🇬🇭 and Jamaica 🇯🇲
We would love to welcome you to Jamaica…Land We Love!
It’s on my list of places I need to visit
Great interview👌🏾🇬🇭
I AM A JAMAICAN...NEVER BEEN TO GHANA ...BUT ALL THE GHANIAN I HAVE KNOWN I FEEL A KIND OF KINSHIP WITH THEM...THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH ANY OTHER AFRICANS...SO YES...THERE IS A PART OF GHANA IN THE CARIBBEAN AND A PART OF JAMAICA IN WEST AFRICA...
I wept when I watched a Jamaican movie! I saw my uncles and aunties and kept wondering...
Our experiences are different and that's alright,,Nigerians accept me thinking I'm one of them,,u can imagine their shock when they find out I'm Jamaican,, Ghanaian seem to know I'm not 1 of them.
@@lane1703 you are one of our the kromanti ppl are direct slaves from Ghana. We can even tell when they speak we understand what they are saying.
Very true dear I'm a Ghanaian and it amazes me to see Jamaican flag having the same colors as compared to one of the tribes in Ghana called Asante with a language called (Twi) basically located in the Ashanti regional part of Ghana as one of the Akan groups which also have the same colors in their flag which are: green, yellow and black aw I feel like I am a Jamaican I love y'all💝💝💝🙏
We have some similarities with Nigerians too. Infact our jankanoo came from biafara. We also have red igbos from nigeria who were brought here. Its a mixture with ghana and nigeria.
Friendly guy. Loved the interview. Learned something new.
Guyanese and Ghanaian are similar.
Both industrious and polite and quite.
Yess most Afro Guyanese are more similar to Ghana..Guyana even celebrate "Ghana day" every year I heard...
A Guyanese client of mine hated is do badly when ever she said is from Guyana and people always go like " oh Ghana" . I would be fed up if people did that to me constantly. Am Ghanaian.
You have got a new Subscriber.. That was a nice interview
Thank you 🙏🏾
U are welcome keep doing the good job
Nice interview, with some incorrect information
Amazing, I'm a Jamaican and I loved every minute of this, yeh mon
And this man is so right , I tell people not all Jamaican can cook Jamaican food, same with the curry goat and oxtail, I bought a oxtail from Jamaican restaurant and I was so so disappointed, very rare you find a few that have real authentic Jamaican food
Oh I bought Ghanaian food in the states too and I was disappointed too. It was bland .
@@eileenwatt8283 🤣🤣🤣
Very true. They don't take the time to source the ingredients.
Sure the food was cooked by a Jamaican?
The dj Bennie man once say Jamaica is a mixture of ghana new york California and Miami Florida..new kingston halfway three area would consider new york ocho rios to montego with those hotels and beach California and st Andrew to portmore Miami I noticed that alot of places in Florida look like parts of Jamaica are the rest of the island is like ghana
I would love to for him to teach how to make some Jamaican meals. That would be something new
Jamaica is a mix of Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Ghana 🇬🇭. Jamaicans are bold as Nigerians and can be laidback like Ghanaians.
That Brave Yours Think Are Not Right Way. But We Ghanian We In Right Way Working With Brain So Be Wise Not Think Yours Are Wise Than Yours Masters Ghana The One Follow Us Learn.
@Gideon kobby FACTS!
We Jamaicans have more th4 feisty side of Nigerians. We hiss our teeth like them. So yes its a split
🇯🇲Nice video. Let's clarify that we call curry goat sometimes curry mutton interchangeable - but we are always talking about goat meat never lamb/sheep's meat. Ah suh wi tan🤫🤐🇯🇲
Thank you for explaining the jerk chicken my brother. No such thing a jerk rice.
Hi Dela,can you post this video on your main channel.This interview with Scott was very informative.Lots of people will find it very useful.
I put it on the community tab of my other channel. I guess not everyone sees it.
@@moretodelavlogs OK,I didn't see it.
Waakye and Jamaican rice and peas are very different in taste. No comparison imho.
If you go through the Caribbean region, you will find that many islands tried to maintain the recipe as true to its African roots as possible. However, due to the lack of all the original ingredients, they had to improvise, which may have altered the taste and/or look. Thay cannot be blamed. They try to stay true to their African ancestors as possible. Even in the Spanish islands.
@@chrisper94 Kidney beans are Mesoamerican. Africans don't use coconut in their rice. Two completely different dishes and rice and bean dishes are more common in South America.
Loved this interview, he should open up his own restaurant....isn't there a jamaican food truck run by a young lady, if am not mistaken by the airport, saw it on a video.
Yes and yes. He plans on opening a Jamaican restaurant and yes there is a Jamaican food truck
I'm from Jamaica. Xyamica is the name for Jamaica given by the Taino people who Columbus saw when he arrived. It means land of of wood and water.
Jamaican legend and world renowned raggae poet, Linton Kwesi Johnson, aka LKJ. The middle name Kwesi is an Akan or Ghanaian name given to a boy born on Sunday.
He acquired the name ‘Kwesi’ when he became a poet.
“Linton Johnson was born in Chapelton, in Jamaica, on August 24, 1952; When he was 11, Johnson went to England to join his parents. He attended school in London’s Brixton neighbourhood. He took the middle name ‘Kwesi’, meaning “born on Sunday,” in the early years of his poetic career”.
@@cleo63100 Thanks a lot for the indepth information.
@@cleo63100 He said in an interview that the people of Chapelton are believed to be descended from Ghana. Interview on youtube!
@@yawos9024 - From Ghana and many other places.
The difference is the sea breeze the spices the way we cook same ingredients difference process
Yes exactly what I told my Jamaica friend here that because they couldn’t get the ingredients during those days that’s why they used kidney beans. 👍🏾
Most Jamaicans also use pigeon peas (aka gungo peas) - hence the name rice and peas. It’s not just about kidney beans!
Obviously you don't know anything about Jamaica. Gungo peas is the original way wirh grater coconut, scallion, scotch bonnet and thyme. That's not anything close to Waakyee and kidney beans are Mesoamerican.
Wow! @ his reason for wanting to live in Ghana
This Man can hardly find a difference... I would love to visit Ghana...
Loved this!!!
Jamaican roots are from Ghana 🇬🇭.They have the name Tutu,Kuffour etc as many Akan's have in GH 🇬🇭.
More Jamaicans are of Nigerian descent. The records are there to show where the British were bringing the captured people from.
Stands to reason since the Maroons were a minority on the island of Jamaica. If people looked for cultural similarities in both countries ( Nigeria and Jamaica) including language they will find them too.
The kidnapping happened along the Gold Coast and up into the interior. The Spanish and British did not discriminate among the tribe families. Remember also, there were no boundaries or nations back then, so yes, Igbo, Akan, koromante, Fulani, and so on were trafficked to Jamaica.
The Trans Atlantic Data base shows 5 different tribes from Nigeria which overlap Ghana so therefore…….
There are plenty different customs and traditions from our Igbo ancestors in Jamaica. These people haven’t visited the island to see. People from Nigeria that came here is amazed to see the similarities. That Gideon Kobby man needs to stop eliminating our other ancestors. This fool is everywhere under every Jamaican video saying we are mostly Ghanaian. He’s even mad about the Jamaicans who are taking their ancestry DNA test and most highest percentages are coming out Nigerian.
Hey bwoy guh siddung man
@Gideon kobby Not even been of unsound mind I would’ve fall in love with someone who’s lack of ambition ,worthless and internet stroller. You don’t have anything constructive to do? Damn man
@@876mostvaluabletreasure2 if you realize I stopped responding to him. I’ve been doing this for years. I’ve had the same response from Dominicans who like throwing their Taino ancestry around. When many do their DNA tests they find out they have very little to no native in them. What many end up seeing beside west Africa is North African, middle eastern and Iberian peninsula. Matter of fact Spain’s influence had dwindled in that colony and they concentrated their efforts in Mexico so instead of going to Africa for Africans they went next door to one of the richest country at the time Saint Domingue. Many of the Africans from Haiti come from Benin/Togo and when Dominicans check their DNA Guess what shows up? BENIN/TOGO. The latest nonsense are from some African Americans claiming to be “Indigenous” I tell you it’s exhausting with the nonsense.

love the content..please tell the host please to open a Jamaican restuarant in Ghana..i also went to "that" Restaurant..i was so excited to take my Ghanaian friend to eat jerk chicken for the first time..bouy i was so dissapointed..Dela can you do a vlog..insearch of the real Jerk chicken in Ghana take a Rochelle with you😉😍
I love that idea! 😉
You can eat breadfruit raw. When it is ripe though. Our cultural practice though, is not to eat it when it is ripe. Strange if you ask me. Breadfruit taste so good when ripe. Great to make juice too, mix with a Guinness and add a little condense milk or other substitutes.
I’ll have to try it someday
I just buck up on this video give thanks for this 🇯🇲
Ghana is bigger and there is more more migration from other countries. Crime is different although both countries have their fare share of it.
The home feeling he said he felt , I felt it too and it did the same to me
What are the things that are the same? Are there any white sandy beaches, rivers, falls, rafting, mountains, cane fields etc. Is it tropical in aesthetics? Please show or tell me.
It depends on where you go. Keta has very white Sandy beaches. You can also find waterfalls here too.
Not being bias but Jamaica is much more beautiful than Ghana. Parts of Ghana is like Jamaica 60 years ago. I was also surprised how colonized it is. With the exception of their yams, I definitely didn’t enjoy their food, I got sick quite a few times. Most of the people are really nice though, very gentle and friendly. I did my DNA and I am more Nigerian than Ghanaian.
we are planning a family trip soon i want the kids to experience the homeland
I want to leave Canada so bad … feeling trapped. Between the house, wife and kids… it will about 10 years before I can do anything
Trust the process you will get there. I never wanted to live in Ghana but here I am…loving it. Situations change, sometimes things get sped up in a way you wouldn’t have expected. Hold tight.
Living in Canada as well and I feel soo stifled. Ugh!😒
bless up keep up the link madddd
I thought the name Jamaica is descended from the original Taino name Xamaca, the Taino were the original people of the island and they called it Xamaca...
You are correct.
Twi is one of the main languages of Ghana the "gy" is the J sound the 3 is the eh sound and it's really 3 turned around. It's a letter you find in some African alphabets.
It is, that's just a new made up lie.
He is a Ghan-ja.
😂 Lol
Yep lol 🤣
i enjoy the vedio . i too am planing to go to ghana soon.
I live in Jamaica & loved this video ❤️
There are parks in the big cities in Jamaica and in the housing schemes base on government stipulations. Thats where some people won't get yard space.
LOL I thought the same thing. It entirely depends on where you live, and I am sure its the same for Ghana
Real talk brother big up
I have been to Ghana and there are many many differences eg Jamaicans don't eat eggs as a snack and we don't buy boiled eggs from women walking around with trays of boiled eggs on their heads for sale
"I really, really, enjoy this video. "And, once again. "Wonderful, "Wonderful, "Wonderful, "Wonderful, job.😀🙏
Thank you
@@moretodelavlogs "You, so welcome.😀.
Ghana the coastal kids swim too
90s kid here, wonder if kids in JA still make the box trucks? Or make trap with coconut leaf spine and catch lizard 😂
I mostly think it's the people from Ghana and the language mostly from Nigeria for Jamaica.
Brownies is fried chicken then you eyes it with a little big of water and the seasoning
I learned to eat bread fruit with my jamaicans friends!
Bredda, we love the water but we can't swim.
Probably less than 50% of Jamaica can swim properly.
Absolutely I don’t know where he would come up with his percentage
Speak for yourself. MOST Jamaicans CAN swim.
Dela I hope one day this guy will open his own Jamaican restaurant in ghana so that some of us Ghanaians can try some of his Jamaican recipes in ghana 😂😂 and the guy said that he is a chef why hasn't he opened his own restaurant in ghana yet?? 😊
He’s actually working on it at the moment. Having a Jamaican restaurant in Ghana is his dream.
I think there is one Kumasi.
There’s a huge Jam Rock Jamaican restaurant in Accra and many smaller ones.
@@dadoboye1536 I understand that it's a Jamaican restaurant but a Jamaican that I know that goes there all the time says that the food there isn't really authentic Jamaican food
Scott you need 2 go to Jamrock by the airport every single item tastes like your in Jamaica. Talking about Acke did you know that we have so much of this in ghana to my knowledge Ghanaians do not even eat it if u go by the car park by ACC there's plenty.
Ghana for me for the peace of mind
We are told the name Jamaica actually came from the Arawaks who lived on the land before we came in their language is was Xaymaca , land of wood and water as he mentions the several rivers
@Gideon kobby You have the Arawaks Dictionary with you, that’s the dialect of those found in Jamaica?
@Gideon kobby You gave me the source ?( Taylor Douglas) how more European than that can you get yet still talking about believing black people. You mention that the language is not spoken anymore I l will live by the oral history of my people leave it at that
@Gideon kobby You are misinformed, even the present Maroons in Jamaica are found to have the DNA of the Arawaks, those people lived freely in Jamaica since the arrival of the British and their oral history even language has been preserved to this day
@Gideon kobby ruclips.net/video/v3Q6aSc1Gyo/видео.html
Here is another lie that someone like you try to perpetuate about the Jamaica, it’s near the end of the video
Surely one of the major difference is gang violence. Therefore Ghana is far safer.
"Wonderful, "Wonderful, "Wonderful, "Wonderful job.😀🙏
New subbie here 🤞🤞👌❤️❤️❤️
Welcome!
They do have parks in Jamaica now
Trinidad is the same cost of living in Trinidad is a lot higher so salary is seven eight times more food in the market same except price I am working with two guys from Ghana in U S A Philadelphia thinking about moving to Ghana
I count myself lucky for living in both countries!
Similarities are so stark and so many.
Some you may not realize until much longer.
Chef Scott, you ever wonder why Jamaican girls " skin up" dem face when they dance?
Some times Dela you say some words and I swear you are Jamaican. Our people came from your parents village. I think Abrui is where Jamaicans would like more because of the greenery and mountains. We love mountains. Ghanaians are quiet. We get our loudness from our Nigerians side , we get our sense of humor from the Irish. I went to Ireland and I couldn't stop laughing at how similar their sense of humor are.
Breadfruit I think came from India to Jamaica.
We don't pound our food because the slaves had to be attending to the plantations so they just peel and cook cassava, plantains yams etc and eat it no time to pound it. They would be whipped by the master.
It’s funny, people always thought I was Jamaican growing up but both my parents are Ghanaian.
What he is saying is just a reflexion of his personal growing up. It's not true for majority Jsmaica especially the youth in the city
Breadfruit actually came from Polynesia.
Big up
When last have this guy been to Jamaica, and where in Jamaica people are walking and knocking on people's door and selling goods, where in Jamaica does that happen, there are lots of free beaches in Jamaica, what is he talking about.
LOL
I don't even think he's Jamaican.
We Jamaicans came from both Ghana and Nigeria
I think if you want *real* Jamaican food there is RUclipsr who is a Jamaican America called and her channel is called "deijha's views" she has a food truck in ghana where she sells *real* Jamaican cuisines. She makes the Jamaican food in her food truck and sells it a lot of ppl *love* her food
Yes I know of her but haven’t tried it yet. I think I’ll have to do that very soon.
@@moretodelavlogs please do it I would love to see you interview her and try her meals... anyways love your videos 😊 🇬🇭🇬🇭 ❤💛💚
@@abby-a Is she still in Ghana? The last time I heard, she was off to America for her brother's wedding and never came back on youtube.
@@michaelodoom1290 yeah, I sent her a message on IG last month and she said that she will be back, she is trying to come back to ghana
@@abby-a Ok, thanks Abby!
There's plenty of free beaches in Jamaica 🇯🇲
And as the ppl dem start cleaning and clearing up the beaches the politician tek it away and give dem to the foreigner or their big friends in the private sector
IKR! When he said I was like "wtf" lol
For now...
Mainly in the rural areas
Jamaica and Ghana are similar period!
This video had to much info to edit out "the ting" 🤭 Very nice
Nigerians and Jamaicans are similar.
Both loud and show off a lot.😅😂😁😀
Jamaicans are loud? Some Jamaicans can be prideful and some can be aggressive, but loud? You are wrong
Yes some of us are really loud,,it's nothing to be Ashamed of,,
