    Hi I enjoyed the interview with Mr Bent. Came to England in 1968 age 10. The educational system was terrible. I experienced all the problems Mr Bent mentioned. I came back to Jamaica in 1998. My father and mother returned two years prior. He was a farmer before he left Jamaica. So he took up where he left of. I would love to meet up with you and talk about the whole experience.

      Went 1960 straight from school after passing my 2nd JA exams its the worst thing that happened to me. The education system was terrible, very racist and demeaning

    Many who have a vision including myself would like to return and start a business and give employment to local residents.
    Even help the locals to open their own businesses.

    LOL, yes it is always known as Wait-A-Bit. I am from WireFence which is a bit further down going back into Albert Town. I am so proud that you never lost sight of your dream and bring it into reality. Well done. I would really love to invest in Jamaica but I am a bit hesitant.
    I have my own business and I have succeded in life far more than I have expected but I would rather kept it here. I have lost the patriotism for Jamaica, Jamaican people don't have a say anymore. It has been taken over by the outsiders. It is so hard for a small man to get loan to start a small business. However a Chinese person pay little or no taxes but yet after 5 years they close their business and another family take it over as a new business.

      The host has a limited time on yt, he was not rude , the gentleman was asked were you not suspended, he said coming to that next, but we did not know if he got suspended or not because he never got back to say. These people need a 2 hour show in which to tell their stories, but time is short.

    Jamaican government dont help its people, he is right about the amount of people who want to invest in jamaica, but its a backward place.

    • @JaneDoe19635
      @JaneDoe19635 Год назад +1

      No, it is not backward, just too many suffer from colonised mentality. The education system probably does not encourage entrepreneurship, they educate people to just be workers, same thing in Africa.

    I really need to figure this thing out...I wanna be back home so bad...
    I'm gonna come back to this comment next year...and if I don't take a significant step towards accomplishing my goal of moving back home, I'm gonna be VERY disappointed in myself.

      @xlaw6272 Год назад +2

      @@biggabaggs I came to this EXACT realization this past week...six months ago I had a property I was looking at for over a year, and as soon as the price dropped to where I wanted it, someone swooped in and bought it before I could even make an offer...I've been looking for something comparable ever since, with no luck. This week I finally decided to start looking at land purchase with the intent to build.
