Real talk. People love Jamaica but once they live abroad and feel that level of safety in other countries it’s hard to give that up and move back no matter how much they want to.
Real talk 😢
Truth
💯💯
I’m Jamaican living in Amerikkka. My husband and I are leaving because both are violent, and dangerous. We’re choosing another island with low violence rate. We’ll always “quietly” visit Jamaica though because it will forever be in my heart.
Facts
Muta is correct. Many Jamaicans living abroad have no plans on moving back because of the crime rate. They will visit frequently but they will not move back. I don't think the Jamaican government have a clue of how many Jamaicans have an illegal firearm or how easy it is to obtain one.
You dont think? That's the way they want it. They want jamaican to be sick and destroy each other. It all engineered. Andrew working for s at an.
Really?? so many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many Jamaicans come back home that is the exodus of our people . A lot of Jamaican people as I get older go back home but now it’s happening a lot of the young ones of us go back home and when we here Our friends are coming back home, we have a welcoming party as long as we go home and can extend more opportunity to Jamaica is a beautiful thing and my ideology is take whatever you can get from racist Europe and America and take it back and make Jamaica and black countries the places that they should be because the majority of crime is based on poverty and if we’re bringing back opportunities to Jamaica, we will be a part of the solution and not the problem.🇯🇲💪🏾💪🏾
@@Ghe608love the positivity 🎉 ☮️
@@deonlion the only Jamaicans I know NOT going home CANT go papers you understand?? Or they dont have anymore people home 🏠.. when you show them the pictures dem cyaaaaan believe it’s Jamaica they haven’t been home over twenty odd years through PJ Portia and now Holness … it is OUR responsibility to build up home, no man Im really against people that try to destroy the good of Jamaica and never been back for a lifetime, thats self hatred man in it’s purest form.. more ackee fih wee!!
True word Muta, the murder rate in Jamaica is horrible, This is why many Jamaicans will never returned to Jamaica because of the crime rates.
Them just love follow it's all for the money and love to follow not everybody come from hot place like kingston so it's not only about crime 🤨😐
Real talk. And once you have travelled, ppl believe you have money put dung fi dem😮
I would love to go back to JA but it's too much crime n badmind I'm doing well n I feel safe no reason to return
Trapmuzik why do you lists badmind as a reason a long with crime for not wanting to go back home to Jamaica? Are you saying Jamaican's are badmind?
@@errolwillis5737once they realise tou were living abroad you become a target. Most of it comes from people who knows you...see you with things they want...want your life and thing they should be entitled to what you work for. Even without travelling outside of Jamaica...if you doing good for yourself in Jamaica you have a target on your back. Badmind is a real thing...hence why its a popular theme in the songs.
As a jamaican who was born in Jamaica but live overseas its not necessarily the crime why i wouldn't go back. It is more lack of economic opportunities thats the issue for me.
Truth has been spoken by this wise man. Respect from Canada!
I'm from South Africa and I feel exactly the same as the Elder
Yes, the murder rate but THEFT is also a big concern. Returning residents not only have to factor in the cost to build not just their house, but also the cost of a big ole wall to surround their property, and endless amounts of iron grill, so they become prisoners in their own homes.
True
facts
Jamaicans in Jamaica live the same way as prisoners in their own homes with the grill up windows and verandah
The issue with us Jamaicans is the politicians control plus create narratives and perceptions because most of us don't want to be educated, We're educated as we're told
😂 This Isn't A "Jamaican" Thing! This Holds True For Every Group Of The Diaspora. Hell! It's This Way On The Continent As Well. Colonialism Effectively Warped Our Minds... THAT IS ITS PURPOSE. Make The Colonized Become Instruments Of Their Own Destruction 👌🏿.
The Economy in Jamaica is the worst. I went Home to Jamaica after living in Canada 40+ years but there is nothing in Jamaica so I had to leave. The Government are the ones that needs to help the Young children, they have no help the way the country is. DON'T VOTE for them that are already in the Parliament. Vote UIC-United Independents' Congress, I speak from Experience. Mr. Patterson a Leader of UIC also is there to help Jamaica be a Better Place for ALL Jamaicans
Mutubaruka always speak that Unfiltered Truth/Facts!
The Truth Is A Dagger To The Heart Of A Liar!
Listening to the elder all the way in Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Once you've lived in a country where there's, somewhat, order it is difficult to visit much less live in a place like Jamaica. Ignorance is ingrained in the culture from top to bottom

Very good point on eating a more plant based diet.
Im currently a Jamaican living abroad that’s moving back, honestly I have to be honest I have similar fears. But foreign is not that safe for black people, especially a conscious one.
Honestly though, as a black femme living in a white society, this perceived safety is hard to be deluded about. Being in proximity to white people, has proven to be one of the most violent experiences of my life. I’m realizing Jamaica is , yes, a more violent place, but not necessarily a less safe place.
Our society is a relatively young one, we are not far removed from the violence of slavery, we condone beating children, domestic violence and participate continuing cycles of violence in the name of superficial perception. Those are main aspects that contribute to the we engage with each other as a people. What people need to realize is, if we leave there’s nobody to fix these issues, break these cycles, and create new ways of being, that will eventually lead to a better society.
We as Jamaicans (and this also extends to other Caribbean Countries) had the ability to build a society, we have the opportunity to creat lasting black futures. We are the Afro futurist dream. But unfortunately so many people are too jaded, are just too unaware of that privilege or simply do see the value in doing labour that does not have capitalistic gain.
I though, am moving back, with the purpose of building, and I’m not the only one. I believe that in the next few years the trend of moving back with become a very popular one. Especially as these Western empires fall.
Thank you!
You state that your are a Black "femme".....as opposed to being what? A Black "butch"?
total bubble! rah, this is so raw. JA has some of the most incredible produce i’ve ever eaten in the world, and it made me upset when i went to the supermarket to see all the us white-sugar filled crap that they send over, with never-expiring expiry dates, to JA food places. what we eat affects the brain, mood, behaviour. i wish everyone could see just how beautiful and powerful the land and people are, when living by love as truth.🧚♂💚
Always the conscious voice of truth, brother give thanks ❤💯🫡
Preach Muta.. It's man like this we need advising in Jamaica government
Everything he’s saying is right!!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲✨✨✨
I have some cousins in the stste they told me that they are not comming back one of them was there fr she was 6 yrs she still love jamaica but crime is the problem and high cost of living
Give thanks for always interesting food for thought.
btw: I am amazed that these pesticides are still allowed in Jamaica, which have long been banned here in Germany/EU because they are carcinogenic.
Why is that? Is Jamaica (also) taking its cue from the US, or are Jamaican farmers not informed about such important facts, or is it just about profit 🤑 .. and human life/health dem don't care for?
Jamaican business and government leaders are flunkies of the U.S. They do what they're told. Note that most of these poisons are still used in the U.S. too
That's the PM's perception. 🤣🤣🤣
Next thing, Muta, you don't remember? One night, on the Stepping Razor (or something like that on Irie FM) you predicted that ganja will only become legal when "they" find a way to export weed to Jamaica, See it deh!
prime minister of jamaica are going to say that because they don't live in Jamaica, god bless Jamaica.
Real talk muta respect
This reminds me when Muta had a program on Irie FM in the 90s called Cutting Edge that was on late Tuesday nights. I don't know if it is still on but it was interesting back when I lived in JA. People would call in and talk with him about all kinds of topics. A few weeks he was not there and Michael Ibo Cooper filled in for him. Anyone remember that besides me?
I think Cuttin Edge is Wednesday night now and Steppin Razor on Thursday Afternoon,,,someone plz correct me if i am wrong😮
Yup the entertainment industry has a big impact on how things go. Music is all about killing and murder. The country has changed so much I want to move back so bad man. But I want my kids safe
Mi lef Jamaica 1991 and only God could come to me in person and convince me to go back and live in Jamaica or even own a business. I visit every now and then 2017 was my last visit n i dont know when I am going back. I gave my grandaunt my house n i dont even stay there when i vist , all i do is vusit and go back to the hotel before night falls
Bounty Killer was talking about the crime and domestic violence in Jamaica too. Much respect for your insight Mutu.
Teach dem Muta jah guidance 👊🏾🙌🏾
Although those things should be evident to us all, the way Muta summarized the many things that were previously ignored and are now heralded is poignant. Wisdom indeed.
Greed Mutabaruka. Greed. Keep speaking Truth.
Went to visit Ocho Rios all the way from Texas last year went to the restroom at a restaurant and my cousin told me hey it was a guy waving his firearm around and looking at me as he parked. I definitely travel a lot and that sent my senses on alert I love Jamaica but I’d never let my guard down off a resort best caribbean place i visited and had now worries of crime St Maarten
🇯🇲Elder Mutabaruka, 🦁🎤🎶♥️they are playing catch-up🇯🇲
As a Jamaican living in America (who plans on leaving America permanently) …I will always love and visit Jamaica. In fact I would like to own rental property in Jamaica. But I won’t be living there. I will not leave one hostile, violent place (America) to move to another violent place. A massive grassroots political, cultural, societal, and spiritual movement is needed to strong arm the mindset & behaviors of the people … and they’re nowhere close to movement.
This! Spot on!
From a 50% black American 50% Jamaican I'm learning how to trade at 39 and doing good so long term 5 year goal i plan on moving to Jamaica or Ghana once i make it i figure i learned everything about my mother side (black American) so i figure why not spend the rest of my life experience my other roots my dad side (Jamaica) but i love Africa definitely after learning about Marcus garvey that's really where i want to be much love to all my African brothers and sisters across the globe my we unite I feel it we are in the time of change no matter what level they give
True words Jamesdillard5472 nuff respect brother jah bless one love .
@@oscarreidd5336 respect and positivity energy to you and your family brother
The ones born overseas enjoy jamaica much more...I'm one of them.
Would you move to Jamaica? Or are you just visiting Jamaica on holidays? Its great to visit as much as you like. But living in Jamaica or any country is much different that just visiting.
@@Izlandprincess1HAHAHA they live in gated communities and the like but an average area fk no they would be shitting themselves from the fear of death and they won't give up there US citizenship to be planted in jamaica because they'll lose access to a 1st world country and it's market
My greatest fear is medical care. If you don’t have money to pay up front, dagg eat yuh suppa. Or money to fly to the States. Crime is an issue for me too.
No culture no future
Over a 100 murders in a 30 add days since the year start so witch part murder a go down only in a the PM mind or his fantasy 😂 a🔥🔥🔥
When the muder rate is over one hundred within the space of a year and that is coming from a Caribbean country it is really terrible. Its sad that this is the reality in Jamaica,who wants to come home to enjoy a vacation and possibly get murdered.
Even worse than the raw number is the per capita rate.
Pure fire
Keep speaking the truth my brother only Rasta can liberate the people
Real talk Brother Muta, watching from the UK, Rastafari
Years ago this rastaman tell mi fi stop eat salt and meat, 😢mi sorry mi neva listen to him to Rasta Jah. Mi a try now but lawd it hard!
Try same way it noh too late,,,dont just switch suh doh cut back on the use until you cut it out❤
Him ah tell deh truth!!
The other big issue is the culture of begging. Some people think you have nuff money because you come from foreign and you should share it. Sometimes brother and sister ready to kill one another over inherited land and house. I know a few that abandon property and avoid certain people to keep their lives.
I hear that. Told my family elders to clear up their assets there before their time, because, as the only one of my siblings to have lived there much before, I won't be going there to fight with anyone for it after. Trevor Berbick anyone??
True True so true every thing the brethren say
them cant come back they dont have enough money to bring back to Jamaica for all them relatives to depend on them because that what happen
perception can be based off reality too!!!!
Is the high cost of living a false perception or is it real especially for the financially challenged?
Even for someone who is living in the states and visiting the high cost of everything is a burden. I can’t even imagine the locals.
The blessing is that there are fruit trees everywhere and fish if one is so inclined.
Facts muta💪🏿🔥🔥🔥
Unless you work at big resort,or airport taxi..it is hard for Jamaicans to make $$ this is what drives crime ..
Crime deh every where.
Don't be disingenuous. Yeah crime deh almost everywhere but it's the rate of crime that is the real issue. , People in other countries nuh badmind like Jamaica. Nuhbady naw set up dem fren fi rob and kill anyone because dem did deh a Canada or London.
@@FC-xc3zyJamaicans are just dutty bad mind people
True Muta !
Muta a yu mi hear sey Sugar and Salt is 2 of the biggest Drugs and a nuf people mi hear say dem tek di lesson from you,,,nuf a listen and nuf a hear and we still need more fi change❤
Perception of crime is real but also Jamaicans that moved away for decades, now have their own extended families like grandchildren and even great grandchildren. They may also have husband or wife buried in foreign too. Also, some elders can't deal with the upheaval of moving back because of age.
No institutions is the problem too
Tell it like it is, my Brother!
Yes Muta
Muta him a talk truth
Hey muta one a di time i cud swear di i did a drift from burning out the garage weh a gwaan....dah one yah gud.....keep pon track.
First time I ever disagree with Muta. There are thousands of Jamaicans in e.g. Chicago and London, and violent crime exists everywhere. Do Jamaicans in the US have children in school? Do they think their children are safer in a US school than a Jamaican one? I live in England for 20 years, come back Trinidad 19 years ago. It took me 10 years to admit that I regret it. I was born in 1964 and grew up with idealistic INDEPENDENCE goals. So I returned home to build and found that no independence ideals remain. It is just materialism and corruption here now. But there are still more jobs created and maintained in foreign. We don't do that here. At least if you get shot in Jamaica a doctor will treat you without searching you for a credit card first, like in the US.
You sound dunce/look how small jamaica is
I also disagree with you 😡 because you just refuse to understand king Muta! He's concerned about Jamaica not outside Jamaica to stop the violence to liberate love unity among us and also don't forget Buju Banton said the same thing even made music about the same crime characters when out on bill! Black on black violence needs to stop!
I know nuff people who move back but there's always some truth to every side
Umm ...because Jamaica is a corrupt and violent place with very little opportunities? 😮 Is this shocking ?

He spoke the truth
Yes badmine rampant in Jamaica especially for returning residents. They destroy them often.
@@JesusSavesMerciful It's a shame. If the mindset of most Jamaicans changed then that alone would change the condition of things for the better.
@@Ms_T_Perfectly_Imperfect Yes, most crime stem from bad mind, they dont respect people property.
Alot people push fire and run gone leave it the youths them know alot more than the i need promote One love to the children u a elderly rasta man u no see . that brethren .the i a preach polictic .Come out a the old time med .
Yes crime is down, it's down in Kingston,it's down in Monday, it down in Mandeville, it down there everywhere
Rasta day organize and centralize however they haven’t done any organizing and haven’t centralized anything. No one wants to lead positivity.
Crime and wickedness is everywhere. Countries abroad can be even worst than jamaica. Even if jamaica is worst than the other Countries, that don't make Countries abroad any better. Darkness is everywhere. Its just us individuals responsibility to continue to live good
Big facts
All politicians does this..
Muta: Crime is High
Andrew: Nope, it is high is crime fiscally election due to obsecure potential dereliction.
lol
Deuteronomy 28:54

It’s not just the murder why people don’t like to move back to jamaica. It’s also the healthcare system. It’s a poor ill properly manage healthcare system. Poor staffing, core medicine, etc.. it’s also transportation. You cannot get from one side to another side because the roads are horrible. It’s so horrible people have skid plates underneath of their cars. You don’t need the Chinese people to fix that for you. The Jamaican people can fix it themselves. Crime, healthcare, lack of transportation is the reason why people are not moving back to jamaica. Another thing look at your markets. It’s so cluttered and crammed up. It’s ridiculous. When you go to a market in UK or the US, you can drive your car without having the traffic jam in jamaica. You can walk from one booth to another booth with no problem that’s not how it is in Jamaica. You need new politicians with new ideas and a new way of thinking these older politicians are used to this nonsense and the way it’s been going that they don’t know how to do it another way.
Think of how much better off JA would be if all these folks who are stymied by the crime, were to move back with their money? Cleaning up the crime to ensure this happens would advance the country in so many ways.
"murder she wrote"
Jamaicans are not returning because most people I know including myself their immediate family members are here including grandchildren crime and the Healthcare system is substandard no disrespect intended imagine having to fly out for simple things as treatment/ surgery among other things that are easily accessible and available here
The healthcare is not substandard. You’re just making assumptions. My grandmother had major surgery in Jamaica way back in the 1950s as well as many other people that I know who have had very good healthcare and successful major and minor surgery in recent years. Also continuing healthcare is available to all citizens. You all need to stop painting this bad picture of Jamaica without true facts.
@cleo63100 please accept my heartfelt apologies blessings

GO BACK AND FIX IT.
Him alone safe. Diss me wah diss him but me know him we try look fimme. Petty no rass. Him he mek fla free up gun policies for people without a record to get a firearm license. A wah him feel like him alone wah feel safe inna this?????
US put JA on the " Do not fly list"
Uno a gawn like crime no deh a foreign a lot a people a move back so nothing no go so
Jamaica is not in the top 5 most murderous countries in the world
It depends on which data and reports you look at. I think it's safe to say that JA is in the top 10 for murders and violent crime, which is an indictment.
Legalize guns for every law-abiding citizen and incentivize firearm training and watch Jamaican prosperity skyrocket.
