@JamaicaGleaner
I was four years old when hurricane Gilbert hit Jamaica. It was very scary in Wilson's Run, Trelawny. BUT the people of Jamaica that I know are prayer warriors, we prayed all day and night for the hurricance to pass. Prayer works: As I sit here, Holy Father who are in Heaven please shine your loving mercy on this island of Jamaica, protect my grandmother, I profess in the name of the almighty God the bringer of life, the one in charge let Beryl pass over Jamaica, I say these words in Jesus name.
Mi a listen but mi mind just a focus on the knife weh she a use a dig out har nails. Same knife weh a go use cut the produce 🫠🫠🫠
🤣🤣🤣
Nastiness don't mention her downstairs.
That’s was my focus 😅
Yow. . . A di same ting I ah seh 😮 . . . Well nasty iyah
Thats why you wash the produce when you get home. But i get the point. Lol
When God is in the vessel smile at the storm
Young man, if you die and leave your family, they will be suffering for a long time. I am sure that your family would rather have you alive than have to bury you. Life is too precious to risk it intentionally.
true
Totally agree
Great is his faithfulness
Such a nice young man selling the breadfruit I like how he believe in God
If she believed in him she would know is him who created the storms and respect him as he does his work. Is not everyone who say God believe and obey him.
My Beautiful island people.🙏🏝️🇩🇲
Even when Christ returns,some people will be out selling and buying 🤦🏾♂️ watch.
Yooow ....🙆🏼🤦🏼🤷🏼🤣🤣 Yuh bad tu rass, only Jamaican will be doing that rite at the gate..you win, here take this 🏆
😂😂😂😂
😅😅😅😅😊
When Christ returns…… people are still believing this brainwash/ nonsense even with modern day evidence? Wow……. Lots of growth for sure 🤔
This comment make me laugh a real thing but for some reason I find it very funny 🤣😅
U know seh mama strong like Beryl. Yuh think it can move her. She shall not be moved😂! Never a dull moment in JA.
Respect for these people who live to such a survival level that they have to hustle their goods even if a hurricane is close by. Beautiful vegetables and fruits. Life goes on and I might be lucky. This is the spirit that no social programs or media information panels with well coiffed gents and ladies would stop.
🎉BEAUTIFUL COMMENT.
❤THANK YOU.
BLESS👌🎉❤
💯
#The Resilience of Jamaicans#❤
Intelligent comment. So true.
EARNESTLY PRAYING FOR MY BEAUTIFUL JAMAICAN PEOPLE DEM. RUN WEH BERYL‼️‼️‼️🪘🪘🪘🔥🔥🔥
Well she muss inna the market house yah now
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love Jamaicans!
Actually inside the market they have concrete stalls 😊
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm not sure beryl can lift her up 😂😂😂
TYPICAL JAMAICAN🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🤣🤣🤣
Me and beryl a par 🤣🤣🤣🤣my people something else
The fact that citizens believe they have to take chances with a hurricane because they have to be living day-to-day to feed themselves and their children should be telling the wider society and the government that something definitely needs to be done...
The economy in Jamaica is supposed to be booming according to the metrics being boasted about so there's no reason each and every Jamaican shouldn't be able to at least survive comfortably, once given the opportunity to have gainful employment and a standard of living that is attainable.
Leadership, role models, education, healthcare.
These are a few of the things that need to be bolstered.
Listen to the politicians speak how they have things under control - no they do not. Lots of poor people have to work everyday to provide food and shelter for themselves and their
Family.
@@ew374
Yep it is easy to say you have everything under control when you do not face the consequences and the hardships firsthand...
This is not a Jamaica thing either there is a serious leadership problem in many countries.
@@ew374 IMF an world Bank fuck Jamaica. Watch e video " Jamaica in debt " an understand
You are so right with all that you said
wait doesn’t everyone in the world work to provide for their family. .. That’s their responsibility!! The same things that people do in jamaica , it’s done abroad. Why you all acting like poverty is only in jamaica ! Look at the homeless and drug addict population in America, the richest country in the world. . Who is coming in rain and storm to buy anything. . That’s their choice. .
Prayers for Jamaica ...God is our refuge strength 👏🔥
In the mighty name of Jesus amen.
In yeshua mighty name! I pray.
Hardworking Jamaican man.
Exactly
Who will be going out to buy goods in a hurricane? Listen and be wise.
That's what I want to know
The other poor people
@@godbless4039says the gated blind communities
Dumb,dumber,dumbest people l ever seen.l would also call them greedy.
@@godbless4039 you have to understand Jamaicans. They take most things lightly. Some Beryl lirics a put Pon paper now
I know we have to hustle: but God said "In all things use wisdom" Remember it's also going to be costly for your loved ones to bury you!
Well said
Watch har di same knife she using for her food she have cleaning out her dirty finger nails
Not good hygiene
Mi seh!!!
Gross

Yow watch mi Jamdung Nuh real!! Lawd Dutty

A very ambitious young man he's an early runner in his business I love his humbleness
🇯🇲🙏💪💜 blessings to everyone, if you haven't yet repented and accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, please do so before it's too late, it's not God's will for none to perish Acts 2 vs 38 John 3 vs 16 Romans 10 vs 13
Pure nonsense. Keep your fear tactic story to yourself
@@theofficialfriendlyretrieverslol
I wonder how many customers does someone get in the midst of a hurricane?
Praying for the safety of these persons.
😢 That's what I said to- Who is he going to sell to?
@@nadiawalters9717a few friends. Then again her house is probably made of wood, and this market is made of concrete. Maybe that's why she's there and not looking straight at the nosey reporter girl that is bothering her for personal information.
@ew374
Hmm I guess that's possible
You know that this was NOT during the hurricane though, right? This was way in the morning, and the hurricane came in the afternoon. The assumption that streetwise people are stupid is stupid in itself
@lemardyc
Regardless, most people would be making last-minute hurricane preparations. Also, most would simply be staying home and avoiding work.
What was worse is that there were reports of fisherfolk being out at sea until the last minute.
I understand the need to hustle, but the arrogance is too much....why people want to bring God down to their level of ignorance.....Please take cover and be safe
It’s not ignorance it’s how the people have o survive because government don’t provide for those who dont have it we in Jamaica been thru worse
Agree@tanishabeecher
There is a Jewish joke that goes like this:
A God fearing man man was drowning in the ocean, he put his trust in God and started praying for him to save his life.
A kayak came by and asked, can I help you? The man said no, I trust God, only he will help me.
A helicopter flew by and asked, can I help you? The man said no, I trust God, only he will help me.
A boat came by and asked, can I help you? The man said no, I trust God, only he will help me.
A submarine came out of the depth and asked, can I help you? The man said no, I trust God, only he will help me.
The man drowned and went to heaven where he met God, the man asked "I put my trust in you, I prayed my whole life and you never rescued me from drowning!"
God said: "I sent you a Kayak, A Helicopter, A boat, A Submarine! What else do you want?"
It's not arrogance, it's survival. The Hurricane seem to brush jamaica like a bad rainfall - this woman is instinctive. Millennial$ lost their instinct through being greedy and selling out this beautiful paradise. SHAME ON THEM!
@@ew374 thank you some people just love talk and dont know what or how Jamaicans have to live
Dont judge les ye be judge dont know the people situation so ease up pray for them to make wise move in time god love you lady and youngman ask him for your needs to take care of your fam
I do pray these wonderful ppl will be okay through the hurricane. Yeshua watch over plz.
“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.”
Amen
@@lovetemple3610 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Nothing like being hard working here. Respect nature and go indoors while lasts ! This reminds me of a Nigerian actor who just drowned in River Niger while crossing the river to shoot a movie without a life jacket. He even made a video while on the boat saying " Guys this is the risk we take to entertain you". He was even telling the guy that was riding the boat to please slow down because he is an only child and he has 3 kids to care for. He drowned the following day crossing the river the second time snd 3 other crew members too. God bless the people of Jamaica and we praying for a restoration in the land ❤
CYAAN TAAP W🇯🇲 ONLY IN THE MOST HIGH W🇯🇲 TRUST🤴🏿👸🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🙌🏾💫🌠
Respect to Jamaicans. They know no fear.. Jamaica land we love🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Respect the hustle 💕
Humor is one of the best coping skills
True Dat.😅
I understand about 20%. May the good people of Jamaica stay safe . . .
You are ahead of me by 15%
God wants us to use wisdom. Come on my people
The goods can be replaced not your life.
Hold on!!! She clean her nails with the same knive she cut the vegetables 🥒 😮 4:11
Hustle wi a hustle! JAH-JAH
God bless them, hard working people.
No wind will blow her around.
Put down that phone🤣🤣
I Love her energy
It's like people don't get that Jamaicans are used to hurricanes.
@@fiyahan ain't no thang but a chicken wang
Are we really? Except for Gilbert all we have had over the years are some very near misses or those that only pass over SOME sections of the island. Were we to get what Grenada got from Beryl then it would be different. Even Ivan and and Nicole we didnt get full on.....
NEVER get used to hurricanes. They will fool you one day.I would prepare as IF
@@stacyjd2759not really! U forgot Ivan in 2004
Hurricanes 🌀 don't even head to Jamaica like that so what are you talking about
Yuh gotta do what yuh gotta do. Stay safe people. Bless up all the jugglers & hustlers
The Bread fruits looks good ❤
Him and Miss Beryl ah par!!!! J'cans, humor in everything...........That's the spirit.
Who are you selling to
I get it.
I can’t judge
it’s sad that people still have to worry about all these other things when there’s a natural disaster happening that alone is traumatic.
wow 😢 hope everyone is safe
Lady stop been arrogant, be safe ,its best to have life, you can get back your good but not your life.
Some ignorant people in Jamaica, the only country I see a hurricane coming and people in a market talking about selling their goods. 😮
@@eleisha5054 Jamaicans are super-people. Get that.
Everything you talk about jamaica the lady is there selling you have a problem she don't have a problem
@@eleisha5054we are a bless country so many prayer warriors in jamaica we are bless thank God
@@eleisha5054May I ask what was ignorant about it?
Jamaican ppl a di best ,man say him a berly a par😂.
i was a vendor for 30 years, i could not afford to miss a day of vending and they veggies will rot if not sold.
You have to eat what are you going to do
The same food that they are saying they are out there to sell they can eat it😂.
Shutup
Or give it away and see how much dem get back.
@@dahliafrancis9806 they can do that because I didn't see any buyers.
I would rather sell my potato and buy potato from someone else. Move up!
@@bjvu9460it's one or two days, not years.😂 OP is reasonable.
Have mercy Lord❤
What a nice guy. Hard working
Idk y mi a cry right now, but mi jus love mi ppl dem n Jamaica. 😢❤💪🏾💪🏾💯🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I wish I could buy everything they have!
I don't know if these persons saw the videos of the destruction on Union Island but this hurricane ain't nothing to play with. There is not a house on that island that was not touched in some way.
I diots.
Yes, but what does that have to do with them vending in the hours before the storm hit?
Jamaica is an island of hustlers so they really have to be out there. 😢
Wow, God Blessed the Jamaican People because its all about the food.
I hope she wash the knife after she use it to clean her finger nails...no sah...
This man sells food but says he can’t stay home during a hurricane because his family needs food!
He was not out during the hurricane though, you know that right?
He farms ground produce and fruits, maybe, but groceries are more than yams, bananas, breadfruits, etc.
People too ignorant.
They do not fear God.
They will try to gain the whole world and loose their soul.
Exactly
*lose
I think it's important not to judge. My heart goes out to them to know they don't feel they can afford to take a day off. That's the reality for people around the world who are dealing with survival.😢
God have to fear me . Move up!
Tru word...no haffi be a storm. any ting wuk wuk till Dem done.....
It's OK to earn a living but your life is far more precious. Live another day to take care of your family have some common sense guy.
🙏🏿 my people 🇯🇲
the perspective of the country with the highest numbers of entrepreneurs in the world.
Ignorance
Mi nuh have nth to say but respect.... Like dem efforts and seriousness... About their struggles. Nth but respect
This is why I always tell my friend in JA be prepared, so you don't have to go out in dangerous conditions. Afraid or not.
Sending love to all the resilient warriors of Jamaica. You are blessed and made of sterner stuff.
Big up uself youth and be safe
Gwaan a yuh yaad unno too hard a hazz, go home and seek shelter!!!
God continue to bless and protect Jamaica and the Caribbean🙏🏽. The young man and lady at Coronation Market are brave and hardworking!! Bless them Creator🙏🏽❤️❤️
This guy is smart
Stupid cannot be fixed 😊
I love Jamaica. Please bless these people in Jesus name 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

The nastiest market in Jamaica she right storm have fraid a them
Nice 1
Mi love mi people dem....jah know Jamaica land we love....pray fi yard
Buoy olive yiu deh markwt everyday ..you no easy at all
In we trust real jamaican
Translation: Woman in the market: she is not afraid of Beryl. That Beryl will come and pass and if gets dangerous she will go inside the market house.
The gentleman selling the breadfruit said he has to work because his partner used some of their savings to buy groceries and he wants to make sure that if something happens to them that they have an emergency fund.
Average Jamaican
Please give us an update on these individuals
I am sure that they are perfectly fine. The storm did not arrive until in the afternoon, this was taped in the morning. Do not assume that because they sell in a market that they are fools. Every one has their plan for getting to safety mapped out in the head.
REPENT AND TURN YOUR HEARTS TO THE LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, ALL NATIONS FOR GOD LOVES US ALL!
Psalms 89:8-9, 11, 13-15 (KJV) O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
Jeremiah 5:22-26, 29 (KJV) Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.
For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
