You're right about life expectancy for seniors. However, this discussion doesn’t include those under 40 or infant mortality rates. My goal isn't to discourage anyone but to provide Afro-Americans with the information they need to navigate The Gambia safely. It’s a place of both beauty and danger. Given the current global issues, it's crucial not to hide the truth and the realities on the ground in Africa. As a people, we can only do better if we know better! Thank you and I feel your heartfelt comment.

It's complicated to pin, but forth coming! There is crime, terrorism, kidnapping, and civil unrest. I was invited to Ibadan Univ,. but the invite was rescinded because of the current climate. I would love a staycation in Naja. Perhaps in the future. Please tell us more about Naja?

I shall! You remember her? She came to BAGS and we got veggies!

it's sooooo delicious sis! HELLO BEAUTIFUL

Wonderful! Thank you and I hope you subscribe and checkout out other videos for more tips on moving to Africa! ❤️

Brother you cannot compare America to Africa, let alone America to a small country like Gambia. America's population is 383 million. Gambias is around 3 million. Make it make sense. This is like a 20 year old telling a 50 year old, age doesn't matter. Numbers matter.

Pray all is well. You are right

Hey Sister you are right 100%. We have to do better as Africans. I understand you and agree with you. Were did we meet in Tujereng? Pray you are well and staying safe! I miss Tujereng so much; it was not bad. I was well aware and alert. If you know me, you know I did no rubbish.

Greetings! Trying, but a lie seems to resonate louder out of Africa. I hope I can help others be safe.

The spirit of return and seeking to immerse themselves in culture and heritage. We definitely, have self work to do.

Sorry about that. Thank you sis!

You are welcome. Watch other videos to learn more about navigating Africa with purpose, while staying safe.

Great observation. Stats and data in Africa is not readily tracked due to knowledge base and infrastructure. Data can be found through the state department, federal government, and non profit organizations. If you are interested in conducting additional research I listed my sources in the description. Please, share your results with us.

Shut up demented idiot!!!

What he doesn't understand is the unbalanced and unfair International Trade between African Countries and the West that dictates the terms and conditions to the detriment of African people. Sir I have to say your mindset is what is wrong with most African leaders on the whole. Let me ask you this, would you allow me to come into your house and dictate to you how it should be run? Even if as your say 'He is an ignorant soldier', at least he is willing and trying to right centuries of unbalanced practices not to mention the atrocities committed. There is a famous debate (I can't quite put my finger on it) why Africa is kept poor when in fact it is not. If the truth be known Africa doesn't need the West, the West needs Africa.

He is phenomenal and it's time for us to wakeup. We are watching, believing, and supporting him. If not him, then who?

@@bwiseafricam Hear, hear. Unfortunately @mpbassey8455 has been brained washed for so long that critical thinking is beyond them.

Sounds right to me. We live in the land of ignorance and lack because of backwardness. Our people are sleeping. We are the living dead (zombies). @eSaF-Eddie

Production and international trade equates to "let's take their resources and give them the crumbs from the floor." If Africa traded with Africa, that's all the trade agreements needed for sustainability. You have not had enough of mind control and manipulation? Africa must stand on her own and we must take ownership @mobassey8455. Something is wrong..... Stockholm syndrome is real.

💯. I'm praying for him as well. He reminds me of the late President Muammar Gaffafi, but without the wealth.

100%

You are correct. Truly they identify by tribe rather than calling themselves African.

Thank you sis

Brother nothing is normal about dying too soon and because of a lack of healthcare, food, and shelter. We are a blessed people and we need to do better. We must become our own caretakers. We should take care of the world, but yet we remain subservient and classless. None or us should leave this realm in the conditions we are leaving. Yes, Gambians are included and deserve so much more than what they are producing. Good and bad don't exist in the universe; it is a matter of living and speaking truths, regardless of the pain. We need to mature as a people and stop acting like children.

This is far from normal.....thinking this is normal is rubbish.

That's your understanding of the scenario. Well , for me, it is different , I believe we are from Allah, and we will return to Allah sooner or later, rich or poor, bigger or smaller, cared for or not cared for, at any level we will all die one day. My advice is that don't talk bad about people who can't defend themselves because they are dead.

Yes and you are entitled to your own understanding. Do you brother and I promise not to tell you what to do or how to do it. This has nothing to do with Allah. I didn't ask for your advice.

@bwiseafricam I'm very sorry, I don't mean to hurt you, sorry for that

Right. Most Americans on the continent are not ready for real development and work. Hate to say it, but it is a different breed arriving.

Welcome! Thank you for watching and supporting the channel.

I love it! I will split my time equally in the US, UK, and Scotland. Sis, I am like Dorothy, clicking my heels. It's rough in them streets😁😷. Normalcy and balance is good for me.

Severely disturbing and wicked. Agree SAD

Yes, especially in the US where a Ni@@a will shoot you down for a dollar.

I have said Gambians are dying, being scammed, and robbed as well. Yes, we must share the truth and it cannot be bias. People die everyday, but some before their time. Living a full life is a major choice. Some choose death over life. It is not the creators will that we die premature. Wishing you the very best that life has to offer! We are important and we must love ourselves enough and not be vain.

No harm, no foul. I agree we should honor Gambians and all African Ascendants who transition too soon. Especially Gambians who die at sea, going the backway. May all their souls eternally RIP and in the arms of their God🙏🏾. We are one and we must work together to solve our problems.

Gambia is beautiful! In my opinion the diaspora is not contributing to growth for two reasons: lack of funds and lack of business experience. My stay was successful. I did what I said I would do in the time frame I gave myself. True the diaspora are increasing the country GDP, but as a whole it has not caused a change for the lives of Gambians. It has caused inflation and higher prices for Gambians. Plus Gambians hate that Americans dislike what feeds them “Europeans.” My time was well spent and I love Gambia. We need to rethink what Come back home to Africa truly means and be more intentional with our actions. I have a different political opinion, but I am not a citizen so I will reserve my political opinion. I’m glad you said it: you don’t eat food or take drinks from strangers. Thank you kindly for weighing in on this topic!🙏🏾✌🏾

Yes he does! You can se all the nations in my family, its weird. The state was not aggressive in their prosecution, but I fought to ensure that she was charged and now have a criminal record. My brother has had many surgeries, held in a burn unit four four months, and is now an amputee. It is pure brutality of how we treat one another. The attempted murderer was sentenced to two years of probation (shameful judicial system) and angry management because my brother was not lucid enough to testify.

You have a right to say what you have said, It is disturbing. There is sickness in the camp from trauma. Hopefully we will understand what is truly happening on the ground. You definitely get it!!!!
