Jamaica for one year now the similarities are that like Ghan Jamaicans are very welcoming I've never felt like I'm a stranger anywhere I go once I introduce myself as an African the people are very warm and receptive basically Jamaica is Africa and Jamaicans are predominantly [Music] Africans the similarities between Jamaica and the continent of Africa is really crazy yeah you know what I'm seeing you see the guys cleaning the windshield it's exactly the same thing that we do and it's a they always in traffic whenever they see a car passing by they try to clean it without you telling them to K it yep yep is it the same here exact same same people same people same attitude same culture this is this is crazy man and I'm seeing this and I'm like you know what am I back in Africa this is how it is man like I'm telling you you can take an African Out of Africa but what makes him Africa you can never take it out of him man and the fact that there are people selling within the traffic like in Ghana you can literally buy clothes buy things to eat in traffic and it's exciting to see that it's exactly the same thing in here you want to say hello to me have you ever spent a day with

nice to meet you all right thank you I'm more lot of people hungry that's not true yeah that's true no no give me mic that's not true that's not I want I want to get closer to you so she's saying that like in Africa a lot of people are starving yeah that's true how did you know that oh I see it on YouTube I see the people what are starving and you know that's that's a lie seriously in Africa so so so no I am I am from Africa right yeah but but a lot of other places is still part of Africa you is yeah the good part where see even in Jamaica there's a good part and there's a bad part at least we don't have anybody here starving no this is how no one no one is staring no no no no no you're getting food see we have we have food everywhere in Africa yeah no no no no no some some place don't plant food what no this is this is Jamaica is Paradise it's just a crime what what what about if I tell you that Africa is the paradise will you believe it no no no no I don't believe that I don't believe that Africa is not everywhere in the continent of Africa is Paradise would would you ever go to Africa would I would you ever visit Africa I I would visit Africa but not everywhere not everywhere y you you been you you Jamaica Afric g go GHz GH is beautiful Ghana have a lot of um movie stars so I would visit GH I feel like this is the narrative that most of them have been consuming to the extent that when they get to know that you're from Africa a lot of them are really like they have that perception that okay Africa people are starving but I'm telling you I I live in Africa I'm telling you Africa is developed than [Music] Jamaica nice to see you me that's I just leave something he been leaving you know leav he stilling look stilling stilling leave something what's name Guy what's your name Maya Maya from Ghana GH is Lisa Lisa yeah this is a good one this was a from I'm from Ghana oh my God good African you bless me with $100 God bless you thank [Music] you you don't want to be on camera it's okay see so when you come to this Market this is more like the indoor market right but I believe that the people out there should be in here should be in here is that the truth that is the truth this is the exact same culture in Africa whenever the government provides stuff like this they always prefer to stay outside and sell when I went to Barbados I saw the same thing in Jamaica it's the same thing I guess when I go to Antigua it's going to be the same thing same thing you can take an African Out of Africa but what makes him an African you can never take it out of him true this is our attitude and we are not changing any time soon wherever we find ourselves I love how this Market is really organized if you want peir you have to walk in a peir lane I was just going to tell you but um all they really set up it sometimes I used to think it's really exactly that but it come like it's just names of Street what it's just to to tell you like where to find
