This song is one of the most powerful pledges any country has. It still brings tears to my eyes 50+ years after learning and having to sing it at assembly in primary school. If only Jamaicans would heed the words to action... God bless us

Oh God, Big up Jamaica. Trust me i am from Nigeria, but Usain Bolt made me to research more about this country and from now just changed my perspective about the Jamaicans. You guys are very nice and good. I love your national anthem, every word has a very useful meaning. I hope u keep the future generation will keep the legacy going, and the useless Media will change the view of Jamaicans to most Nigerians. God bless Jamaica, God bless Usain Bolt and God bless the Black Race. Keep the spirit.

I am Jamaican, born and bred. Having lived in CA for the last 35 years. The realization that is evident is that Jamaicans, like people from other Third World Countries here in the US are often stereotyped as weed smokers , dunces and ignorant. Truth is, Jamaicans are on a whole are a proud, loyal, generous, sincere, trustworthy, kind and intelligent people. We are also brought up strict sense of morals and are taught to value others and to put our Heavenly Father at the fore front of all we do. Through these basic principles we are taught perseverance and the value of hard work through sacrifice. And, so you all know, we value education and high ideals. Weed smoking is not practiced by all Jamaicans. Weed or what we call Ganja was never present in our home while growing up. Get It Right!!!
@f_a_reid866 жыл бұрын
I second this being a resident in CA as well. It's the intelligence in us that raises our heads high regardless of the stereotypical views. While there are some who deserve such descriptions, you realize that this has nothing to do with nationality but the of oneself and surroundings. Nuff wutlis CAs deh bout to! #proudjamaican.

In terms of weed smokers per capita, Jamaica is somewhere near the middle, with the US, Israel, and Canada included in the countries where weed smoking is more prevalent. Who knows how stereotypes are formed, but what is sure, stereotypes often say more about the psychology of the stereotyper than the targets.

Whenever I hear my national anthem it brings tears to my eyes because of politics I had no other choice than to migrate to another mans country in order to create a stable life for myself. On the other hand the Jamaican government sold out Jamaica to Chinese government. I now do wonder if the prime minister ever sit and listen to the Jamaican national anthem. Those are some powerful words but unfortunately greedy politicians and lawlessness has destroyed our Island. The only time I felt patriotic is when I landed in Jamaica and knowing that it doesn't matter how far I travelled to I can finally say Jamaica here I come again to visit my paradise home.

The beauty of the National Pledge is that it transcends the trite tenets of patriotism and can be spoken of with great meaning even by a non-patriot comme moi.

That is a question most are shying away from, while others seem oblivious to the social decay taking place in the society; but if we are to recapture the days when there was true patriotism in Jamaicans, then we must answer that question and collectively do everything to bring back honor and dignity to the "Green isles of the Indies." And whether you are Jamaicans at home or abroad, we cannot be satisfied with the current state of affairs.
