What an admirable man! His laughter is so contagious, his Russian impeccable, caring of 20 cats and family graves. I’m sure he has plenty stories to tell. I’d love to hear more from him! Thank you for this video, Sergey. I adore this channel!
His laughter is contagious and his laughter sounds like he is contented with his life. He has nature he has the river and he has a purpose in the community. We could all learn something from this man.
Though he is much younger he reminds me so much of my Russian grandfather - the way he speaks, his mannerisms, his laughter and his attitude about life. Always building things, fixing things. I'm so happy to see there are more people like that in the world.
Wicked and racist people make us see the difference in ourselves, when it ought not to be so. This man's story also shows how humble, loving, caring, hospitable and kind Africans truly are. thanks Vasya for being nice yourself.
This guys warmth and laughter can melt the Russian winter ice and snow 😂 his incredible joyous spirit has helped him survive the hardships of life in a country with a tough social climate and attitude towards Africans and non-white foreigners, God bless him.
This guy is a true rarity for Russia. It is so unique to find a person from a different background/ethnicity that has adopted Russian culture and life so wholeheartedly like this awesome Ugandan. I would love to meet him! It is a shame to hear that the poor guy was screwed over by his boss and is not in the best financial position because of it. Mad respect to him. His smile and positive attitude is a reminder to appreciate what you have.
@@goyurigo oh yeah sure, i meant a more well organized country. i hope all the shit going on now can eventually lead to putins fall and that it can be better for these poor russians.
I find his life to be quite wonderful. I would gladly trade the rat race for 20 cats, a bunch of trees to keep, and a humble existence. But that is coming from someone who has had all the candy that the "West" has to offer. The film about Jogi is quite wonderful. Much respect!

Massive respect to you Sergei for sharing this video with us. As an African myself living in Europe 17 years now. My takeaway from this video is that, this brother cannot be able to visit his homeland regularly due to his financial situation. The condition in which he is living as we see in this video is not the best. Please let’s come together to help this man. I wonder when last he saw his mother face to face!

He isn't living the best life,but lights up with joy and his derar heart is full of happiness....i wish i knew more about him and maybe find ways to link him up with family here in Uganda. He just melts my heart....
Because of the collapse of the USSR in the 90s, life was the most difficult, there were bandits everywhere, businesses were stolen, people were killed, money was not paid. In just 20 years, everything has changed so much that it's scary to remember those times, but they used to live.

What an amazing video. You would never believe a Ugandan could even live in Russia. What character this man has given his circumstances and just goes to show the power of the mind to stay positive. Thank you for this rare insight into the life of an extreme individual and his ability to overcome all of lifes obstacles. XX much love and stay safe
Interesting! But what terrible living conditions for a retired person who has a college degree. But he has a zest for life, despite his bad situation. Africans are survivors.
that the Russia not just today is long time were progress for people is forgotten by power people most in province only living day by day is sad is the riches land in the world what they done for long time nothing is not new that East Blok fight for take them out from they beck Russia is not just Russia is many different country together and racism is no news in this place
As a Ghanaian, I studied in Poland for 6 years. I returned home immediately I completed because I missed my family so much. I am so proud of this guy. I love his smile and positivity. Kudos to you for bringing back nice memories 👌. Will surely share this video.
@@leslied.2475 I really miss Polska. My colleagues and I who left some 27 years ago plan a holiday with our families 👪. I work in a financial institution do I am doing well
I'm watching this video today (29/06/22) and am really touched by the kindness of the Russian gentleman. I join other human beings in thanking you for taking care of our brother from Uganda. You have shown us that there are such good people in Russia too. Thanks again!!!!
WHAT a brave man!!! He's so happy, resourceful and hard worker!!! An African in cold Russia!! What a joy to watch!! If ONLY we as human beings realised that we're the same at 💖💖 Thank you for sharing even though its a month later👍
Being of African descent and living in the West, this touched me seriously. Thank you for showing this man decency and respect. That's all we really need.... Everything else is propaganda and fluff. We are tired of seeing it. It does nothing with Bigotry. We can live together, we can live apart. We can trade and not lose respect for each other. Respect the African/Black man...in return you will gain a friend. I can't say that about everyone...but I'm saying this from the heart. We all fall short...but never back into bigotry. I shared this is with you, because you demonstrated respect to this man. Far away from his Homeland. But he calls Russia Home as well.
@@TMS26164 ....and that is what shows that "humanity" trumps race because it should not be about the color of your skin! If Christ was JUST about the Jewish race, why would God ( the Creator), say that he shall have "children" from every nation? EVERY nation tells you that Christ for ALL, for God! I wish mankind world over, would understand this!🙏
I've met so many goid people who are not my race. So to me there're only two kinds of people ... Good ones who don't stick their noses in everywhere und that sort of Fascists who will always reduce ppl to being less worth than others based on their skin, eye shape, language or a handicap 😶
@@TMS26164 He needs help. There is no peace there. He is poor and very cold. He need to come back and enjoy the equatorial sunshine. He belongs to Africa.
He has carved out a life for himself and I respect it. He has land, and he lives like a free man. I love this. I hope you do go home to Uganda to see your mother before she passes though (with the help of a go fund me maybe) Big respect to you brother. From the United Kingdom ❤️
What I liked about the story was that even though he is African, you did nothing to hinder, demean or make his life any more challenging than it is. I love that you took the time to let him tell his (his smile tells more if you watch?) story through your question's and you took the time to introduce him to fishing? In my own country, the U.S., I have to be ready to survive possible experiences with the Police and I must also be well versed in the law and how to use it to protect myself,property and right's. He may not have family there, but you seem to be like family to him. It was nice for me to absorb the interaction's.
That was very interesting! Jogi's attitude is accepting and upbeat. He's happy and thrives in spite of his limited resources and past mistreatment. I'd like to see more of this remarkable man.
I am originally from South Africa and as this man is talking, smiling and telling of his hardships, it feels like I am back in South Africa! Thank you for sharing his story
Wow what a man, well educated, speaks perfect Russian, highly spirited, healthy etc, so sad he lives very poorly, I hope he gets help in order to improve his living condition as he's well integrated into Russian society. Good job Sergey, thank you.
he lives like a homeless, although his major is quite nice. Weird. He should move to some different country I think… if he gets the money for the ticket But I guess he has no work
This is how many Russians live because its economy is the size of Italy's due to oligarchs sucking it dry. Russia has immense resources and a tiny population yet they love to be slaves and bend over for billionaire vampires
I am from the former eastern block and back then, that was the case with pretty much all Africans that came to us. They came to study, learned the languge and integrated very well. There probably was a strict selection process in the first place. Nothing like what immigration is now
I’m lost for words Sergei. The world needs more of you and this sweet man Jogi. Despite living in terrible conditions, being cheated by his employer and unable to see his family, this magnificent man could not stop smiling. His warmth touched my heart. I am going to share this video with my huge family in London to help you get more views. Your channel is 5 star documentary film making. I’m watching from USA.
The same thing happened to my grandmother in Brazil. She worked for almost 20 years, her boss didn’t pay into the pension and stole the money she paid and recorded NOTHING.
I would use my last penny and strength to look for the bastard and do him in. I swear there's no way any human can steal so much from my mum or grandma and live to enjoy it......NO WAY!
This Guy is seriously positive, what a great character. His attitude that everybody is basically the same is a great view to have. What an effervescent character.
Wow thank you for making this video! I same here from 1420! This story hit me as my parents are both African's who were studying in Ukraine (which was USSR back then as you know). It was great that you were able to share his story.
Many people are probably unaware that the old Soviet Union (along with other east bloc countries) had various scholarship programs for many African countries. In the early 1980's, I attended an intensive language school (to learn German) in West Germany. Many of my fellow students were from Africa, there to pursue postgraduate studies after obtaining graduate degrees in the Soviet Union. Coming from the US, it was challenging enough for me to learn my first foreign language, but for the African students it was the forth or fifth language on their list. As I struggled through that experience, they helped me out a lot. Having that experience in life, I do not find it that unusual that this gentleman from Uganda seems so fluent in the language and is 'at home' with the culture. Such a great story here, I if I may add, yours as well!
@@christopherrich7107 yes exactly, there is a whole community of us children who were born in Ukraine/Russia from this era! Great story, I didn't know that the students were also going to Germany!
@@Ridffsf perhaps east Germany GDR which was part of Eastern block. In Poland, where I'm from, I remember back in 80's I've met students/doctors from Iran.
Good job brother! Thank you for your effort to connect us humans by showing exciting insights from your country! Please keep it up. Many peaceful and best regards from Germany. :)
Well done, Sergei. It is a shame some few people tried to break his life by denying him or stealing his pension entitlements, but yet he stands unbroken and still smiles as he ages and struggles. You showed great heart giving him something to keep him going. As he said, majority of people everywhere are nice, it is just the few that try to damage society.
After crying through all of the other videos this one was very welcomed. Thank you Sergei gave her all your doing. May God bless you and this beautiful man Jogi. His inner light and kind soul are a so welcomed. Please visit him again.
Got so nostalgic feelings when seeing this admirable Jogi. Once I was working two years in Udanda, and my local counterpart look just like Jogi, could have been his brother - even similar heartily laughter and sense of humor. So probably he is from Luo tribe, cattlemen which are living in eastern Uganda. Thank you so much for this video.
The People from the Carribean are the same Way! He reminds me of a Dominican Man, Angel, l used to work with at I.R.S. in Andover, contract cleaning. What sweet People the Dominicans are! I have mucho Freinds from Santo Domingo! Good Times.
@@mvlogsofun Yes I know - have been working some five years in various countries in southern Africa. Got very good friends over there, always happy and smiling like Jogi. Had to fly back home because of this covid pandemia...
With all the resources and wealth in this world, no one would really have to live this way, if goverments operated like they should. I respect and appreciate this gentleman he has made the choice to be happy, instead of being angry or resentful, which many would understand. It takes a special person to do this. He's accomplished so much alone, I can't imagine how much more he could get done with a little help.
Thankyou Sergei, I got a lot out of that, there's a guy in a different country, away from his family, living on very little, and yet he is joyous. Such a great reminder that you don't need "stuff" to be happy.
Sergei, let us all help him to live in a nice warm comfortable house. He doesn't need much . Thank you for sharing about him . What a good soul Jogi is. I am sharing this story with friends 💖
Thank you for this video Sergey. It is amazing to see, that although he is not well-off financially, he can still laugh, he can still be happy. This is truly a rarity.......a Ugandan living in Russia ! Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.
@@theclassictrio3510 Good for you that you know and can tell an indigenous Russian accent, and so can pick out the so called African accent from baba here.
@@justinamusyoka4986 I disagree. This man is Russian and may not live long if he return to Africa. His heart and soul is in that place and for me, he should visit and return back to where is soul is
@@Ikeelechiogba Lets wait till he freeze and he's no more then we say he was more Russian than Ugandan. First the man seems he was trapped by some things in a foreign land,where is his wife and children and i heard him say marriage was the best thing to happen yo him ? 😭😭😭😭.
I am from Uganda and I had an uncle who came back from Russia after going for studies during the 80's together with Jogi. I can't imagine life in this tough environment. Ugandans are survivors. Vasya please make an online follow-up video with his family in Uganda and lets see their smiles-miles from each other
Jogi has such a cheerful personality, he’s wonderful. I didn’t expect to see an African living there in the freezing cold ,it’s cool. Thank you for sharing his story ☮️💟
Thank you for sharing this man’s story and also for sharing the lives of other normal Russian people. We become a global community when we see we are all similar humans.
By watching people could learn kindness and happiness from both of you. Jogi has bare minimum but happy and not complaining about hardship. Respect to this guy. Sergey well done.
He is making a very strong point here: people don't need a lot of 'stuffs' to be happy. Being one with nature and being in peace, being free from discrimination based on color of skin or religion, having a good laugh are more important in life..
It's like I'm dreaming of the way he lives his life. Even though you can call it poor and maybe, boring to present standards of living. Peace and quiet. Open air. Large piece of land. He's RICH in some other way. And he's GENUINELY HAPPY! I envy him. I just wished I'd moved to Russia long ago.
Damn. As a Ugandan, this video is inspiring. The Russian language and land are far different from our own but am truly impressed how fluent Jogi is in Russian.
You are kind. Thank you for that gift to him and for inquiring about his family. It is deeply sad that his "boss" was so cruel. Jogi gets credit for working only 5 years when he worked three times that! His pension/his circumstances would have been much better had he not been cheated. Of course, he could not have returned to his homeland empty-handed after all those years abroad. What that man did to him was sinful - but he will not escape the evil he did, Karma will bite him! I have subscribed.
thank you for the video and introducing us to Jogi. He seems like the type of person one would love to have as a neighbor and friend. I hope to see more of him in the future.
I wonder if his industriousness keeps him young! It seems like he's got so many projects going, something to get out of bed in the morning for - that's so important in life!
Strong man. Lesson learnt; you can be happy in any situation and in any condition with the right mindset. The man is very contented with what he has. He is very happy and comfortable with the little he has. Life should be like this
Jogi has such a lovely, humble spirit. He lives in poverty but finds much to be happy about. His need for companionship is helped a little by his WhatsApp talks with his family in Uganda and his 20 cats give him some warmth and attention that would help to overcome his loneliness. I am so sorry that he was abused by his cruel employer. Life has not been easy for him and is still extremely hard. This educated man has risen above his circumstances and can still laugh. Jogi's life has touched my heart. I can only hope one day that he returns to Uganda to reunite with his family. Thank you for creating this video. You were thoughtful and considerate to Jogi. Kindness truly matters.

I'm the East Africa 🌍
@@thunderstorm4074 no brother in South Africa
@@mvlogsofun American 🇺🇸 here. We love our African brothers and sisters ❤️ every Ugandan I know is filled with kindness and love.
What an amazing video. You would never believe a Ugandan could even live in Russia. What character this man has given his circumstances and just goes to show the power of the mind to stay positive. Thank you for this rare insight into the life of an extreme individual and his ability to overcome all of lifes obstacles. XX much love and stay safe
That man would survive anywhere you can tell, he's from Uganda but he's a world citizen.
Ugandans you just dont know us we inherit the whole earth we are really everywhere. Do some research.
Yes, I read that too. Also a few aristocratic blacks in Russia previously. There is also an African presence in Turkey as well.
@@pastryshack551 your comment contradicts itself.
Interesting! But what terrible living conditions for a retired person who has a college degree. But he has a zest for life, despite his bad situation. Africans are survivors.
Yes they are. And very loving, caring, beautiful People, like the Carribeans, Dominicanos and Puerto Ricans are!
Russia actually needs more of them
He could be living in a good condition if he went back home
that the Russia not just today is long time were progress for people is forgotten by power people most in province only living day by day is sad is the riches land in the world what they done for long time nothing is not new that East Blok fight for take them out from they beck Russia is not just Russia is many different country together and racism is no news in this place
Do you watch Jim Nduruchi
The most heartwarming laugh ever. He seems to have a "wiseness of the heart". I wish him the best
As a Ghanaian, I studied in Poland for 6 years. I returned home immediately I completed because I missed my family so much. I am so proud of this guy. I love his smile and positivity. Kudos to you for bringing back nice memories 👌. Will surely share this video.
And how are you doing now after your studies in Europe?
Have you learned Polish as well as English? That’s very impressive
Love from Poland!
@@leslied.2475 I really miss Polska. My colleagues and I who left some 27 years ago plan a holiday with our families 👪. I work in a financial institution do I am doing well

What an amazing man.. lives in poverty yet still has a smile.. God richly bless all of you..❤️🙏❤️
He was quite a character! Full of life! Thanks for bringing your visit with him to us, Sergei. Take care.
Bless your heart Sergei. Jorgi is a lovely man. He has so little, but has such a big, lovely personality. Love to both of you from Australia x
I'm watching this video today (29/06/22) and am really touched by the kindness of the Russian gentleman. I join other human beings in thanking you for taking care of our brother from Uganda. You have shown us that there are such good people in Russia too. Thanks again!!!!
WHAT a brave man!!! He's so happy, resourceful and hard worker!!! An African in cold Russia!! What a joy to watch!! If ONLY we as human beings realised that we're the same at 💖💖 Thank you for sharing even though its a month later👍
As a ugandan, we love our brother
Thanks for reaching out to him
Being of African descent and living in the West, this touched me seriously. Thank you for showing this man decency and respect. That's all we really need.... Everything else is propaganda and fluff. We are tired of seeing it. It does nothing with Bigotry. We can live together, we can live apart. We can trade and not lose respect for each other. Respect the African/Black man...in return you will gain a friend. I can't say that about everyone...but I'm saying this from the heart. We all fall short...but never back into bigotry. I shared this is with you, because you demonstrated respect to this man. Far away from his Homeland. But he calls Russia Home as well.
Anywhere you find peace is your home not necessarily where you are a descent of
@@TMS26164 ....and that is what shows that "humanity" trumps race because it should not be about the color of your skin! If Christ was JUST about the Jewish race, why would God ( the Creator), say that he shall have "children" from every nation? EVERY nation tells you that Christ for ALL, for God!
I wish mankind world over, would understand this!🙏
I've met so many goid people who are not my race. So to me there're only two kinds of people ... Good ones who don't stick their noses in everywhere und that sort of Fascists who will always reduce ppl to being less worth than others based on their skin, eye shape, language or a handicap 😶
@@TMS26164 He needs help. There is no peace there. He is poor and very cold. He need to come back and enjoy the equatorial sunshine. He belongs to Africa.
So now you can think he is happy? If he has to return home, he will be lost. I pray he wake up one day and return to paradise Africa.
Jogi has such kind heart and beautiful smile, I hope one day he gets to see his family and build that new house of his!
He has carved out a life for himself and I respect it. He has land, and he lives like a free man. I love this.
I hope you do go home to Uganda to see your mother before she passes though (with the help of a go fund me maybe)
Big respect to you brother. From the United Kingdom ❤️
What I liked about the story was that even though he is African, you did nothing to hinder, demean or make his life any more challenging than it is. I love that you took the time to let him tell his (his smile tells more if you watch?) story through your question's and you took the time to introduce him to fishing? In my own country, the U.S., I have to be ready to survive possible experiences with the Police and I must also be well versed in the law and how to use it to protect myself,property and right's. He may not have family there, but you seem to be like family to him. It was nice for me to absorb the interaction's.
You are such a kind man , Jogi is a good man too he has such a positive attitude to life ♥️♥️
What a joyful man ! Thank you for introducing Jogi to me ! His joy is contagious. God bless you my friend 🌹🙏
That was very interesting! Jogi's attitude is accepting and upbeat. He's happy and thrives in spite of his limited resources and past mistreatment. I'd like to see more of this remarkable man.
May GOD richly Bless both of you 🙏 ❤
And the west should learn life is not all about the money.
I am originally from South Africa and as this man is talking, smiling and telling of his hardships, it feels like I am back in South Africa! Thank you for sharing his story
Heartwarming .....!!!...he loves his adopted country...
As a fellow Ugandan, I would contribute to a go-fund-me if this brother wants to return home. Come back home, brother.
He would be welcomed and given a big welcome back feast!!!
Hmmm. Come home with empty pockets and 20 cats? That's why he hasn't left Russia.
@@Rubychika I can tell you lack intelligence and wisdom.
@@Rubychika You are right; It is really hard for Africans who didn't make it to come back.
Am Ugandan but i feel sorry for u come back home,home is the best mom she is still alive
I am a South African. This man has the the happiness and humour most people from our continent has. What a beautiful heart
As an African musician from KENYA neighbouring Uganda this was Inspiring. Thank you 🙏🏽
Do you watch Jim Nduruchi
Wow what a man, well educated, speaks perfect Russian, highly spirited, healthy etc, so sad he lives very poorly, I hope he gets help in order to improve his living condition as he's well integrated into Russian society. Good job Sergey, thank you.
he lives like a homeless, although his major is quite nice. Weird. He should move to some different country I think… if he gets the money for the ticket
But I guess he has no work
@@samysdefer he's from Uganda. For his homeland he's living luxurious.
I speak Russian and his Russian is far from beng perfect.
That being said; it's quite good and he even speaks slang.
This is how many Russians live because its economy is the size of Italy's due to oligarchs sucking it dry. Russia has immense resources and a tiny population yet they love to be slaves and bend over for billionaire vampires
I am from the former eastern block and back then, that was the case with pretty much all Africans that came to us. They came to study, learned the languge and integrated very well. There probably was a strict selection process in the first place. Nothing like what immigration is now
Thanks!
I’m lost for words Sergei. The world needs more of you and this sweet man Jogi. Despite living in terrible conditions, being cheated by his employer and unable to see his family, this magnificent man could not stop smiling. His warmth touched my heart. I am going to share this video with my huge family in London to help you get more views. Your channel is 5 star documentary film making. I’m watching from USA.
Thank you for sharing his story. I enjoyed his positive and friendly attitude.
The same thing happened to my grandmother in Brazil. She worked for almost 20 years, her boss didn’t pay into the pension and stole the money she paid and recorded NOTHING.
O que pena!
That is terrible.
What goes around comes around.
I would use my last penny and strength to look for the bastard and do him in. I swear there's no way any human can steal so much from my mum or grandma and live to enjoy it......NO WAY!
The boss will get his karma one day. That is evil.
This Guy is seriously positive, what a great character. His attitude that everybody is basically the same is a great view to have. What an effervescent character.
I loved his laugh and his high spirit. God bless him and keep him in his hands. Thanks for posting this video.
Wow thank you for making this video! I same here from 1420! This story hit me as my parents are both African's who were studying in Ukraine (which was USSR back then as you know). It was great that you were able to share his story.
is there any way we can support him?
Many people are probably unaware that the old Soviet Union (along with other east bloc countries) had various scholarship programs for many African countries.
In the early 1980's, I attended an intensive language school (to learn German) in West Germany. Many of my fellow students were from Africa, there to pursue postgraduate studies after obtaining graduate degrees in the Soviet Union. Coming from the US, it was challenging enough for me to learn my first foreign language, but for the African students it was the forth or fifth language on their list. As I struggled through that experience, they helped me out a lot.
Having that experience in life, I do not find it that unusual that this gentleman from Uganda seems so fluent in the language and is 'at home' with the culture. Such a great story here, I if I may add, yours as well!
@@christopherrich7107 yes exactly, there is a whole community of us children who were born in Ukraine/Russia from this era! Great story, I didn't know that the students were also going to Germany!
@@Ridffsf perhaps east Germany GDR which was part of Eastern block. In Poland, where I'm from, I remember back in 80's I've met students/doctors from Iran.
Where in Africa?
Good job brother! Thank you for your effort to connect us humans by showing exciting insights from your country! Please keep it up. Many peaceful and best regards from Germany. :)
Ditto from the UK xx 😘
Ditto from Canada too🇨🇦❤️
Ditto from Lawtowne Mass. U.S.A. 👍❤️
Greetings from Denmark.. Ugandans in Denmark..
Just amazing, you are doing great with this channel. I hope you can continue and we can hear more from these people in the future!
Very nice story
Very well presented
Just subscribed
Thank you for sharing a part of this man's journey
Well done, Sergei.
It is a shame some few people tried to break his life by denying him or stealing his pension entitlements, but yet he stands unbroken and still smiles as he ages and struggles.
You showed great heart giving him something to keep him going. As he said, majority of people everywhere are nice, it is just the few that try to damage society.
I love Jogi! He has the kindest personality.
After crying through all of the other videos this one was very welcomed. Thank you Sergei gave her all your doing. May God bless you and this beautiful man Jogi. His inner light and kind soul are a so welcomed. Please visit him again.
Got so nostalgic feelings when seeing this admirable Jogi. Once I was working two years in Udanda, and my local counterpart look just like Jogi, could have been his brother - even similar heartily laughter and sense of humor. So probably he is from Luo tribe, cattlemen which are living in eastern Uganda. Thank you so much for this video.
The People from the Carribean are the same Way! He reminds me of a Dominican Man, Angel, l used to work with at I.R.S. in Andover, contract cleaning. What sweet People the Dominicans are! I have mucho Freinds from Santo Domingo! Good Times.
we are humble naturally
@@mvlogsofun Yes I know - have been working some five years in various countries in southern Africa. Got very good friends over there, always happy and smiling like Jogi. Had to fly back home because of this covid pandemia...
@@razvegoida_25 hopefully you enjoyed your stay
😀😀😀👌👌👌👌👌
I like how he don't give up! Life if hard, but it's okay. ) I only can wish good luck and stay strong!
With all the resources and wealth in this world, no one would really have to live this way, if goverments operated like they should. I respect and appreciate this gentleman he has made the choice to be happy, instead of being angry or resentful, which many would understand. It takes a special person to do this. He's accomplished so much alone, I can't imagine how much more he could get done with a little help.
Thankyou Sergei, I got a lot out of that, there's a guy in a different country, away from his family, living on very little, and yet he is joyous. Such a great reminder that you don't need "stuff" to be happy.
Greg....we have a saying. Poor is the man....whose wealth is ONLY money. Please mull over it.
Sergei, let us all help him to live in a nice warm comfortable house. He doesn't need much . Thank you for sharing about him . What a good soul Jogi is. I am sharing this story with friends 💖
Wow, this guy tugs on my heart string. What a positive day of light he brings.
Truly, a man’s wealth consists not in the abundance of the things he possesses. Thanks for posting
Thank you for this video Sergey. It is amazing to see, that although he is not well-off financially, he can still laugh, he can still be happy.
This is truly a rarity.......a Ugandan living in Russia !
Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.
OMG his Russian is amazing! He looks like such a great man to meet
I love the way he speaks perfect Russian in an African accent. Blessings on this lovely man, l hope he gets to build his house soon. ❤️🇬🇧👌
Ameen god bless you
What is an African accent? The ignorance here is appalling.
Yeah, perfect russian with African accent. I once read that "you should listen to what a person is saying not how he is saying it"
@@OsmanK699 come on, I am aftican and I can boldly state that he still has an african accent.
@@theclassictrio3510 Good for you that you know and can tell an indigenous Russian accent, and so can pick out the so called African accent from baba here.
Please more about this man's life.
He needs help to return and settle in Uganda.
@@justinamusyoka4986 he can manage uganda, the way it is and where it is heading
@@justinamusyoka4986 I disagree. This man is Russian and may not live long if he return to Africa. His heart and soul is in that place and for me, he should visit and return back to where is soul is
@@Ikeelechiogba he is African
@@Ikeelechiogba Lets wait till he freeze and he's no more then we say he was more Russian than Ugandan.
First the man seems he was trapped by some things in a foreign land,where is his wife and children and i heard him say marriage was the best thing to happen yo him ?
😭😭😭😭.
I am from Uganda and I had an uncle who came back from Russia after going for studies during the 80's together with Jogi. I can't imagine life in this tough environment. Ugandans are survivors. Vasya please make an online follow-up video with his family in Uganda and lets see their smiles-miles from each other
Jogi has such a cheerful personality, he’s wonderful. I didn’t expect to see an African living there in the freezing cold ,it’s cool. Thank you for sharing his story ☮️💟
Sergei - that was awesome! That guy is a gem!
Thank you for sharing this man’s story and also for sharing the lives of other normal Russian people. We become a global community when we see we are all similar humans.
What a beautiful person -God bless him 💚
By watching people could learn kindness and happiness from both of you. Jogi has bare minimum but happy and not complaining about hardship. Respect to this guy. Sergey well done.
thank you for helping him ...that was touchy
I love his spirit!! I am from Soutb Africa so I can appreciate his bubbly personality & outlook on life. What a lovely person!!❤❤🇿🇦🇿🇦
He is making a very strong point here: people don't need a lot of 'stuffs' to be happy. Being one with nature and being in peace, being free from discrimination based on color of skin or religion, having a good laugh are more important in life..
amen!
It's like I'm dreaming of the way he lives his life. Even though you can call it poor and maybe, boring to present standards of living. Peace and quiet. Open air. Large piece of land. He's RICH in some other way. And he's GENUINELY HAPPY! I envy him. I just wished I'd moved to Russia long ago.
Being Rich is not the essence of happinesses otherwise suicide rates would be VERY LOW AMONGST THE RICH.
What a beautiful loving and happy man 🥰, God bless you brother Jogi ❤️
Damn. As a Ugandan, this video is inspiring. The Russian language and land are far different from our own but am truly impressed how fluent Jogi is in Russian.
I'm an Englishman living in Russia. Been here 15 years. Looking forward to speaking as good as this Ugandan does.
As "well" as this man
Yogi is a nice and hardworking man. He's having a hard time living, but he's always cheerful and smiling.😁😁😁
You are kind. Thank you for that gift to him and for inquiring about his family. It is deeply sad that his "boss" was so cruel. Jogi gets credit for working only 5 years when he worked three times that! His pension/his circumstances would have been much better had he not been cheated. Of course, he could not have returned to his homeland empty-handed after all those years abroad. What that man did to him was sinful - but he will not escape the evil he did, Karma will bite him! I have subscribed.
Gosh that man is so positive and has such an infectious laugh. Bless him!!
Beautiful! I loved this... Blessings from the USA ❤️🙏❤️
thank you for the video and introducing us to Jogi. He seems like the type of person one would love to have as a neighbor and friend. I hope to see more of him in the future.
Какие у этого пенсионера хорошие гены, раз он на пенсии выглядит на 45! Ещё здорово, что человек сохраняет свой оптимизм!
I wonder if his industriousness keeps him young! It seems like he's got so many projects going, something to get out of bed in the morning for - that's so important in life!
A MAN living with Dignity ....a SMILE ....an easy LAUGH .... didn't let Life Beat his SPIRIT down .... Love from Canada Brother .... Roy
Strong man. Lesson learnt; you can be happy in any situation and in any condition with the right mindset. The man is very contented with what he has. He is very happy and comfortable with the little he has. Life should be like this
Jogi has such a lovely, humble spirit. He lives in poverty but finds much to be happy about. His need for companionship is helped a little by his WhatsApp talks with his family in Uganda and his 20 cats give him some warmth and attention that would help to overcome his loneliness.
I am so sorry that he was abused by his cruel employer. Life has not been easy for him and is still extremely hard. This educated man has risen above his circumstances and can still laugh.
Jogi's life has touched my heart. I can only hope one day that he returns to Uganda to reunite with his family.
Thank you for creating this video. You were thoughtful and considerate to Jogi. Kindness truly matters.
