  • Africans make up their fair share of the population of expats to the Jamaican shore. They come to Jamaica for a plethora of reasons, from the food to the culture, the music and business possibilities. They are occupying space and living in a way that Jamaicans could learn a lesson or two.

    There is a sizeable Nigerian 🇳🇬 community in Jamaica 🇯🇲. The only heart hospital in the entire Caribbean region was established in Kingston by a Nigerian called Dr. Madu.

      Jamaicans and other African descendants in the Caribbean are most welcome in Africa. We should encourage reconnection and sharing of good things. I hope that in the future, the Caribbean will be formally recognized by the African Union as the 6th region of Africa so we can grow stronger together. After all, we are the same people.

    It's funny that you should say that because this is how the Jamaicans were in England during the Windrush era UK. They worked together, networking and helping each other and this included living/renting, buying houses together and also with African, mostly Nigerians at the time and some Ghanaian people too. In addition to this they were supporting their family back home. Some need to get that spirit again and jot just think about the self alone. 🙌🏾🙌🏽💝💝🇯🇲🇬🇧

    The funny thing is Jamaicans in America work together even the Chinese and Irish Jamaicans they have scholarships to help Jamaican descendants and students coming to local universities. They help other Jamaican Business, encourage financial support and even celebrate Jamaican independence as well as send back money to improve Jamaica healthcare.

    • @LifewiddiJamFams

      The mindset does change with generations and social infiltration as it does in many other countries. Majority of Jamaicans are proud to be Jamaicans and there are groups of Jamaicans who can collaborate and are doing so. It would be great if collaboration, group economics and collective responsibility was more a core part of the people's mindset. 👍🏾🎶🙏🏾

    It is widely known that the first big shipment of Slaves from Africa to Jamaica came from Ghana. Then the second big shipment came from Nigeria. In the days of Slavery. Circa 17th Century. We are reconnecting with our Brothers and Sisters.

    When I was in Kinshasa, my friends and I used to attend concerts to remember Bob Marley.
    The artists were actually Congolese, "Zairoïs", at that time!
    Those who, like me, who weren't necessary 'Rasta' had impressible collection of Reggae artists. Admittedly, I knew more Jamaican artistes than other africans on the continents. Truth be told!
    We have seen the like of the great Lucky Dube, Alpha Blondy and others! I know, because now, at 63, i can remember that at 20, i was crazy about people like Black Uhuru, Jimmy Cliff (whom I attended his concert!), Steel Pulse (one of my favorite groups), Rita Marley, the Melody Makers, at that time (Marley family), and so on.
    You would think "we think Jamaixan" , though we didn't know the slight rhing about the slang we wish we spoke! We liked to say, "Yeah Man" 😂😂
    So funn y when I think about my youth, and youth and young man time; everything seemed smooth despite problems that occurred: political and all the BS, onnrhe continent.
    We love Jamaica, because Jamaica NEVER deny us!
    "AFRICA UNITE' ( Bob Marley) has always been like an anthem; it's like a prophecy of somerhing that still need to be done. Ya heard me!
    Peace on Earth!

    Yes spiritually Jamaicans and Africans are very close but we are kept apart because of the cost of visiting each other. It is time now for US to do something about that. There is so much that we could learn from Africa and Africans that it would be more than worth it for our government to subsidize travrl to The Continent.

    • @LifewiddiJamFams
      @LifewiddiJamFams  15 дней назад

    Jamaica and all the black diaspora are the 6 region of the African Union (AU). If all the free movement, trade, and policies of AU moves forward, they'll be even more connected to Africa. There're many Jamaicans why visit regularly or have settled in Ghana.

    Well done content! Keep them coming. Your so right about Nigerian. They are among the most successful here in the US. Keep attracting African in general would be a big plus for Jamaica. However, the bad mine people, and gun man will kill them off including myself who has an HVAC business. Jamaican leave for Africa to fine wife. What is that saying about Jamaican women?? Make a content on that pls because I want to go to Africa for a wife, then, teach her Jamaican dishes.That would be a win win. Lol.

    • @LifewiddiJamFams
      @LifewiddiJamFams  14 дней назад

      Thanks for joining in on the conversation! Some interesting points. The killing off people is very exaggerated. There are many people in the country who are doing business and getting on well. There are many people who encounter fatal experiences as business owners in US and other countries. An HVAC business would be a great venture in Jamaica. You should definitely SWOT it out. 💎💎

    Africa is coming to the Caribbean, full stop. This is the result of an initiative started years ago by the then Prime Minister of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Patrick Manning. He had visited West Africa and met with several leaders. There was a reciprocal visit by these leaders later. Links were established and areas of common interest were identified. It took some time but those initiatives are finally bearing fruit. The Africa Export Import Bank is currently in negotiations to set up operations in the Caribbean.
