- Jamaica is on the rise. The increase in the number of developments in the country is showing that Jamaica could become like Dubai or Singapore. This is why I believe that it is important for us Jamaicans to return to Jamaica, own a piece of our homeland and help build it up.

I see Jamaica 🇯🇲 moving forward too
Definitely
I am going to let you know we are aging especially who left Jamaica over forty to fifty years , really want to come back home and live out our golden years while we are still young sixties and seventies.
I second that emotion
@@lornafuller8705 I third that.😊😊
We in jamaica completely know this and believe me when I said this our government is putting in every effort to make this possible security and health care is this government #1 and #2 priority and in not making these statements from a political point I'm here in jamaica witnessing these changes with my own eyes..we'll know that this crime monster must be contained for jamaica to achieve its true potential I can tell you this the government has purchased 3 massive patrol vessels to better protect our borders from illicit guns and drugs from entering into the country since 2019 and these are ship like vessels very huge making it 5 in total and 1 more to be delivered in short order the government also purchased six bell helicopters for the coast guard and a long range spy plane to conduct distance surveillance around the country massive investments has been made in JDF and the JCF to modernize the security force another strategy the government is putting in place to better fight crime is the implementation of cameras on every single streets in jamaica..the government just broke ground 2 weeks ago for the construction of the massive Spanish town hospital and over in montego bay the 6 story children hospital is almost complete and ground will broke shortly for the construction of a hospital in portmore and oldharbour
Jamaica is one of the most contradictory societies and people on earth
@@alphansoworth9775 thank you Mr Worth for this valuable piece of info. This is a good place to begin. I can sense that Jamaica has begun to experience a rebirth and rejuvenation.
Jamaica definitely has the potential for being a great country
Yes it does!
As someone with Jamaican parents, but foreign born, the older I get the more interested I am in one day acquiring property in Jamaica, but I have concerns. 1. Being a target for crime as a black foreigner and 2 the moral and ethical dilemma of pricing local Jamaicans out of the market.
I totally understand. Well just be vigilant
My friend and his wife came back to Jamaica to retire and build a beautiful dream home only to be robbed and killed in there own home by the builders
I never thought this would happen to the nicest people you could ever meat RIP Charle from the uk
My condolences, so sorry to hear that. That is the reason why our team has developed a system specifically for returning residents, we understand the struggles returning residents have to go through and I sincerely sympathize with you. Bad things happen to good people, we just have to learn, adapt and move forward.
Really!!! I would never move back to jamaica! Imagine you telling people to move back to jamaica, knowing dam well we will surely be killed.
We need Justice for Charlie & Gayle Anderson!
@@myserenity1130 Charles was I very good man he was working on my house in the 80s
and because of him and Wesley is partner I became a builder myself they both taught me a lot working on my house in moss side Hartington Street
So sad the justice system in Jamaica is very corrupt I pray that you will get justice for these two beautiful souls
You are absolutely correct in the things you highlighted
Thank you. I hope we as Jamaicans start looking hard for land to buy. Because the way I see things going hmm
Good Morning Thanks for the motivational video. I left JA as a child more than 40 years ago and I too have every intention of reaching my goal of not only securing land to build my own home in JA but also developing land that I own as a potential generational wealth business. Your insight givies me inspiration that all things are possible.
Great! I'm glad we are able to inspire. All the best to you on your return to Jamaica and building
@@AJAWI_TV Yea my parents were able to utilize equity of their home in US to build their own home in JA…. I look to do the same but I have to first find and purchase land there first
@@yankeefan580 Our team is there to help you every step of the way. So it is possible.
One of my family owns a property in the Saint James Parrish that we may consider developing into a commercial property if you are familiar with the city of Montego Bay, maybe there is a potential future collaboration to explore....will explore this opportunity if you are available for consultation or advice....
Sure, I am always available for a consultation. You can book a slot via our website ajawilimited.com
Next 10 years local Jamaicans can’t afford land in Jamaica.. the diaspora will own Jamaica.. I am building while living overseas it’s not easy but we have to sacrifice
Amen. Yes that's the way to go.
@Corey49 My mother (may she rest in eternal power) predicted this very same thing 20yrs ago. She also told me to take out JA citizenship because I can never tell what may happen in the UK...and look, it's in a mess. Suffice it to say I heeded the words of my mamma the prophetess
You're not being fair. Many have invested and lost be balanced. High society and foreigners have the opportunities to purchase lands and property and this is by design. Many abroad do sow back into Jamaica. The solicitors, banks etc don't all function straight.
Politicians are also very corrupt.
There are good and there are bad situations. For ever 10 that return 1 will be in a bad situation and the media will push the bad because bad news sells. Do you think other countries going to come to you and say hey Jamaicans your country is doing really great. 👀
That is true. I know someone who hires a palm-coloured real estate lawyer who lives in upper St. Andrew to buy land because he has had limited roadblocks doing it like that.
@@marshabuchanan-allen2606 the reality is that Jamaicans know very little about proper financial planning and we don't invest and grow wealth as we should. We want the best but we want to spend the least and we complain when we see other people getting the best because they have money. They shoukd go make the money and move up. Let your money talk for you. Let us not be naive.
damn you make a very solid point
Jamaica is a beautiful country and I will return. I don't see who or what can stop me or discourage me from investing in my own country.
As a potential investor, what I notice is that there is no accountability for what is going on in the financial system at this present time.
Is it that there is no accountability, or is it that there are discoveries of discrepancies? If there was no accountability then we wouldn't know that there is fraud at all. What I believe is that there should be stricter penalties for those who commit these crimes. Just like how in Singapore, a politician was executed for entertaining what was perceived as a bribe.
For repatriating residents ,especially retirees, the fork in the road for them is the inadequate healthcare system . Jamaicans are ready to return in droves. Please address healthcare ,
I see work being done on the health care system. A lot has changed and a lot are changing. I only thing we dan do is continue to put in the work. I just don't want to see a Jamaican owned by other people. Jamaica is for Jamaicans and I think we should ensure we own it. Jamaica has taken the best approach if you ask me. They have taken the approach of encouraging its citizen to be healthy. I see where leaders put in regulations to limit the amount of sugar consumption , promote exercise and proper dieting. They recently worked on a massive hospital along with other actions. We not three yet but I see the effort and I believe we need to encourage them to do even more.
@@AJAWI_TV thanks for the update. Yes heath care and education from kindergarten and beyond are paramount in making Jamaica succeed and thrive. I would also love for Jamaicans to be the primary stake holders in our country's resources. I love that the young Jamaicans as yourself, Throp and others have taken the reign and are helping in pioneering to move our country forward. What an exciting feeling. Keep forging ahead, together we can make Jamaica rise to the top and supercede Singapore. Yes we can , and we will. Sweet, sweet Jamaica. I love this for our country.
Thank you. Love the support as well. We are doing our best
@@AJAWI_TV And the diaspora is grateful
We are working on it and security, it will be Bible,class, healthcare,and security, many of us overseas,are the backbone of the healthcare industry in firstworld,nations,
I agree with you about Jamaica having the potential to become like Singapore. I was told by a well informed Jamaican ,that in 1960's Jamaica's GDP was better than Singapore's .
Blessings. Keep up the good work.
Thanks man. We appreciate your continuous support
Tell the government to fix health care and while him at it put in stiffer penalties for crime and I'm ready to come back real soon
I agree, and I can see where they working on it. It's up to us to stop complaining and play out part. Yes there are issues but if we all play out part then we will be fine. That's why I try to play my little part and hope that those before me and those that will come after me will play theirs too.
Many are just looking for excuses not to return yes crime is an issue along with the constant concerns abt health care but ja has such great investment opportunities and it's ashamed that while ja overseas are always looking for excuses not to invest in their countries many other nationalities r reaping the benefits of our island resources and real-estate investment
@@winsomebarnett7067 So true
Yes agreed. Many investment opportunities are here. The health care needs work. But currently I'd say the better health care is in Kingston and not cheap. Besides there is an opportunity for private individuals to own their own hospitals here, just as there are private hospitals abroad. Just need the individuals to return and invest.
@@AJAWI_TVexactly....they can simply go to the UWIH
Thank you for the video . I am from St. Ann living in Canada. I was there in September and my daughter had to the hospital and it was so bad. The development is not taking into account education and healthcare.
which hospital was this?
It is a major factor in many potential returning residents decision to take this step.
We have wanted to come home and live for many decades now but SOME PEOPLE ON the GROUND were killing us when we got back there. So many got cold feet. POINT BLANK PERIOD.
Firstly, a lot of people do return and are doing well am sure of that. If you are vigilant then am sure you will be fine. Not discrediting however if necessary steps are taken then you will be OK. Problem is that we go in communities that are not safe and make bad decisions all in the name of ( I want to live free and do what I want ). There are some nice upscale communities and they are safe.
Blessings bro real talk 🗣️ blood
Great content
Thank you
Morning King 👑 Ajawi manners and respect you are talking the truth is same way in Africa,but Jamaica is far more different and beautiful
Yes, I see where we are growing at a rapid rate however gentrification is happening in some way. I believe Jamaicans should take a hold of their legacy and don't allow others to come and own it.
@@AJAWI_TV so true especially Chinese want to take over
No, Chinese don't want to take over, Jamaicans don't want to own their own. Don't look at what others are doing what are we doing and not doing. Our problem is that we blame everyone else for our problem and we fail to look in the mirror.
@@AJAWI_TV I understand you but for me am returning my cousin who born in America is there already,am not watching anyone am doing my part
Thats great. I believe we can all come together and make sure we own Jamaica. I wish we all could see how beautiful and blessed we are. All we need in Jamaica is money and life nice.
When the government will allow law abiding citizens to own a firearm without all the corruption I may consider moving back home. Bless up yute, you doing a great job there 🤜🏾
In Switzerland citizens own firearm and is one of the safest country in the world
The government does allow law abiding citizens to acquire firearm. Is it a strict process yes, is it difficult yes and I agree with that. I think that if we all invest and offer opportunities to the majority then you will see a significant change. The reality is this, it is not as bad as the media paint it. The job of the media is to give you what sells and people love bad news.
In Japan they dint and its the safest country in the world.
If Switzerland is so safe why people need to own firearm. Its not necessary. The solution is to get guns off the streets not put them on the streets.
@@AJAWI_TV is the firearm make it safe
Big facts brother. There is nowhere like home.
Amen
Awesome
Any country that can get 4 million visitors in one season. It's a country that has a lot of opportunities.
My thoughts exactly
Yes but the people don't benefit from it only the government so how can jamaican build the country up
I want to return but others keep saying how rough the country is. The healthcare system is lacking. It’s a time to really think about what to do and where to invest.
There are private hospitals to consider since the public ones are lacking. Those who are outside looking in and seeing negatives will always point out the negatives. Also, if there's a medical issue that can't be solved in Jamaica, there are those who travel abroad. Jamaica is a small developing country, so we shouldn't expect everything to be in place. The question is are we improving?. But if we ourselves do not return/invest, who will inherit Jamaica?
Buy the land or house even if you change your mind you wont sell at a loss
Your video offers up so much hope for Jamaica and I do agree there is potential. However I believe the poorer, less fortunate people need a lot of help. They have limited education and therefore have no hope of employment which makes them frustrated and desperate. This situation, I believe leads to resentment of others and crime.
I would love to return to my country feel safe.
As long as you have proper financial planning and you discipline and you select a design and construction team that has a good system in place then you should be good. That's why we create resources.
I left Jamaica has a child wanted to build my home but every day my fellow Jamaican say they not going home one day i started to build now I have a beautiful 5bedroom over look the ocean people people hurry up and claim something some beaches you have to pay to go sit get something
Well said. Sounds like you had a plan. I am happy to hear this.
As a Jamaican that has a decent job living abroad, I can't afford a decent house in Jamaica. I looked recently and to get a similarly sized home to what I currently have it's almost 4 times as much as what I paid.
In Jamaica yiu have to actually a make some real money to buy a decent house in a decent community. So all you have go do is stack the paper. Also speak to the bank, am sure yiu can access mortgage.
Roses covering the mess. People in power know the potential but they don't invest in the people. People leave because of shortfalls of real opportunities on a fair playing field. We give back to JA. But often can be weary on how we are treated as persons living outside.
That's understandable. But I don't think they are able to fix everything in one go. Remember, Rome wasn't built in one day. I believe there's potential for change within the government. It is up to us, the current generation to bring up the future generation to take over in a better position
@@AJAWI_TV everything needs an overall and deconstruction to rebuild for Jamaica and not just the few, who are mad for power. You go in to a system unchanged and then u will join the madness and corruption, stay quiet so you can suck a food or speak up show integrity which will show up the corrupt and you WILL be sent packing. One way or another.
Foreigners have money to buy great properties. Some buy cash. I watch a lot of videos with beautiful homes for $USmillions and the average person cannot afford those.
Yes I agree with you. The average person cannot afford to live in good communities. Most people who do complain are those that leave Jamaica without proper financial planning, go overseas and spend their life and resources over there and then come back fo Jamaica and go in the worst communities and then complain about the conditions. Sorry to say but its the truth. There are many upscale communities in Jamaica. Why pass all those and go to areas that will make you vulnerable.
If you leave with a plan and stick to it knowing that, hey if I want to live in a good communitiy then I have to put away at least 70million and the land will cost at least 30million then am sure that's better than returning and looking for land for 2million and trying to build for 10 million. Or asking contractors and consultants to cut cost expect the most and have high expectations.
The reality is that the rich live a different lifestyle than the poor. I personally want to live the lifestyle of the rich. That's just me.
Europeans conquered and sent resources back to their homeland, this caused me to pause and think. So true, hmmmmn.
Not only did they come to our country, take the resources and send it back to their country, we ourselves went to their country willingly and continued to develop their country. We refuse to follow in their footsteps and send resources back to our country. Then we turn around and complain that Jamaica is underdeveloped. Talk about irony. (Please note that I am not talking about sending money back to Jamaica to man weh siddung pon corner rubbing out hand middle. But sensible investments)
@@AJAWI_TV Indeed!
I would like to get in contact with you….personally Ajawi. Re: building in Jamaica. Blessings 🙏🏾
Ajawilimited.com you can book a consultation via our website.
Brother you or telling true lot of my fellow. Jamaica turns thay back on country. The fair is ther mind. Thing
Yes they talk as if as you step outside your gate you get s##t. It's not like that, most of the time if you vigilant ans if you don't overly advertise yourself. You are good you can enjoy a safe and pieceful life. Not saying that things don't happen they do but its not as bad as we make it out to be.
Why do you believe Jamaica is going to be the next Singapore or Dubai..? I didn't hear the reasons.
I build my house and connect water and the water is just trickling in the pipe and the water is turn to low for the poor and working class neighborhoods and NWC is pumping water from the Bullstud station and selling it to the hotels in Negril. So we the poor and working people should suffer for water. Or carry bucket go a river. I come home for one week and I had to go to the river for water and I pay NWC for water in my house. And when I go to Savlamar office and tell them that there is no water in the pipes they say the water pressure is low. So that have to address too. The pipes are old and too small to service all the neighborhoods.
Sorry to hear that. I don't know what to say to be honest. Just follow up with your case. No matter where we go in the world, there will be one problem or another. I suggest you invest in water storage
How can I get your information
Ajawilimited.com
That is so correct, 9556.
Jamaica need better healthcare, badmind people it's few of the major factors many dont come back
That have nothing to do with it. They don't come back because they don't want to and making excuses. They rather deal with the issues of another man's country and then complain that their country is no good.
I'm coming home this month ❤ I'm going to contact u.
Please don't advertise your intentions here. Please be safe ok. Vigilance is always key.
And sure you can contact me.
Tell the government invest more in the health care system so it will motivate us to come back also the banking system not sure I could safe with my money in jamaica banks
I wouldn't encourage people to save, but I would encourage investing. There are multiple investment houses, so we can make informed decisions. I'm sure in the US there are instances where people lose their money as well. Don't use one man fat fry everybody.
I miss jamaica so much 😢😢😢
It is a matter of sight many people can only see what is in front of them many people cannot Dream Big Dreams and pursuit many persons do not know about delayed gratification and what is an asset what is a liability basically I'm saying Jamaicans need more vision comes from within
Exactly *mic drop* I need not say anything else
For me, who does coding, 3d modeling, animation, and database development, I have no reason to return to Jamaica after leaving. Really though, what am I going to do here with the skills I have? There is nothing here for me to use it on. I am not planning to stay in the US either, I want to move to Japan because the quality of life is much better there, it's clean, I can still make use of my skills, and I can speak some Japanese and improving.
That's great, and if that's your vision, go for it. Let me ask you this, where do you plan on returning? What's your long-term plan? I find that most Jamaicans are not capable of looking past their nose, we only see the next few steps. We don't make these decisions with an end goal on mind. The sad part is, it's only when we reach a certain age and realize that hey, it's too cold in the foreign land. I need a place like Jamaica. Let me go home, that is when we start to look for opportunities to make investment decisions in our home land, at which point it's too late. The only reason you are so interested in going to Japan is because their people had a 1000-year plan. And their people think long term.
@@AJAWI_TV that’s correct. I am planning on starting a business in game development. That’s my long term plan. There are a lot of talents in Japan that I can acquire for my startup.
Interwsting
This is why we in the diaspora think it very hard to invest or return to Jamaica 🇯🇲 our homeland that we love so much The damn senseless killings, no interior infrastructure of the island, the shithouse health care system, education system, sanitation, roads, etc etc. need I continue. Or you just going sit there and skip over all that as thou you don’t know that. That’s the reasons why we refuse to return. Ok. Plain and simple
I understand that crime is present. It is also in the US. Let's face it, we overexagerate the negatives and downplay the positives. You would think that as you exit the plane there is a bodybag at your feet. The media has their agenda.
@@AJAWI_TV about the body bag , you said it not I. You asked why we in the diaspora not coming back home, but when we tell y’all Y’all come at us extremely negative. Like y’all control our darn life. It’s either r And yes. Crimes all around the world that’s known. But the darn senseless murdering of return residents is very uncalled for. Ok sir. So, you don’t want our opinions, please don’t come on here and ask us. Simple.
What u can do for jamaica?
@@SereneEarth-fl6qh I was going to ignore you…but I can see you got absolutely no understanding. Why don’t you as your politicians and the prime minister that question. Then when they answer you. Then you can ask me that question. Please remember you not paying any tax to me. Sir.
Jamaica is the best. If you are Jamaican, come home.❤🎉❤
When i was growing up, Jamaicans was one of the countries that the people wouldn't tolerate the rubbish that i see happening in Jamaica today. Like Jamaicans cannot even get access to their own beaches! Thats not a Jamaican people problem. That is a sellout government system! Your people and country should come first, but i seems that their government do not see it that way
Who says Jamaicans don't have access to beach. Don't be fooled. Jamaicans that complain that they don't have access to beaches are just cheap. They have beach and polute them, destroy them with rubbish. Someone comes along see the value, acquire it maintain it and make it valuable then charge an access fee then Jamaicans complain that they cant access it. They should be ashamed to say that. Let them go work and make money and pay to access the beach and stop waiting on people to come acquire and make money off them. Better yet, own it and take care of it with you own money and allow everyone to access it free of charge. 👀
We will make excuses, and we will complain whe we are the problem
@@AJAWI_TV Jamaicans say, and I agree with them. They should have access to their beaches. Instead of the government selling it off to big named hotels or big companies. If the beaches are dirty the government should employ people to keep it clean . There's enough unemployment in Jamaica as it is. And if the people are dirty in it tell the people that it will not be tolerated! That's why when people leave they do not want to comeback. Because they get no support from their own government. They put other people and companies before their own people. And that sort of rubbish happens in to many black countries around the Caribbean and Africa
@freddiedouper so are you saying all the beaches abroad are owned and taken care of by the government? I'm sure there are beaches in the US that are privately owned and those that are government owned. Let's be honest with ourselves if we were to do what you're sayin, there would be no public-private partnerships and the overall economy would suffer. Would you then give the government permission to raise taxes to cover these additional overheads?
@@AJAWI_TV government's do not need no prompting from anyone to raise taxes. And it always seems like the poorer the nation the more the taxes go up. There have been many disgruntled Jamaicans on the news youtube and in the local papers complaining on the amount of beaches that have been taken over. The people are upset, and you cannot blame them. You dont see the beaches being taken over en masse on the other islands I.e Barbados, Grenada Antigua and others in this way. And I'm sure if it was those people of those islands would be disgruntled to.
While Jamaica is a beautiful country and caters to tourists the locals are struggling especially the low income earners. I visit Jamaica very often and I would love to return but every thing is so expensive. Houses and land prices are doubled and sometimes triple. Not to mention materials and labor.
Crime is out of control so much fraud and the list goes on. It’s a difficult decision for some persons especially if you have been away for a long time.
Very true. I understand your point but expensive is relative. On a personal level I look at this from the perspective of, I need to increase my income level. Someone can afford it because someone will buy it so I personally focus on becoming more competent and more valuable in the market so that someday I can afford it. But I do understand your point.
My brother I want to return ja but workmen charge you too much there is space for growth but your banks can't handle $50 billion for construction await answer
There are multiple banks and investment Houses in Jamaica. Its a matter of you take your time and understanding that its not like the first world countries. If you be patient and select a company to do your design and construction. One that has systems in place like we have here at AJAWI Limited then you will be fine. I just finished designing a villa on thr North coast, it was built and there was no issue. it's on my Instagram page. As long as yiu have you money Jamaica nice.
Sad reality 😢
We send back about US 2 billion a year.
To whom do you send it back. What do these people do for a living. Are yiu sending back funding to enable the fisherman to fish or you sending back money to buy fish to give the man so he does not have to learn to fish.
Government need to build up the health care systems build housing for the young and the poorer jamaican to afford, build up the education systems, give the young people jobs
OK, let us understand a few things, Healthcare is being worked on, there are housing solutions, and they are accessible as a young person. I can say that focusing on buying a house is not the solution. Young people need to focus on creating sources of income. Our education system needs the corporation of parents because you can bring a horse to the water, but you can't force it to drink. Nobody gives anyone jobs. It's either you have spent time working on becoming high value, and people see where your skills are needed. I say all this, Jamaica has a fundamental problem. The people, we all know what to do, but everyone is expecting someone else to solve our problem. Do you know how much business have jobs but can't find suitable people to fill the positions.
I'll never move back to Jamaica too much criminal politicians
And that's fine. Can you tell me what the crime rate is in Jamaica?
Yes we would love to come back .lots of things not right .first law and order.medical treatments..too many c in that country's.we would like to comes the country's not safe .road in some parts not good.they kill us when we come back. The place not safe.hope the government will do good in the next elections.
I would like to visit the US but based on what I see in the media the place is not safe. So I guess we both not going anywhere anytime soon lol 😅 but on a more serious note, don't be fooled by the smear campaign in the media, they have their own agenda. If a man wants to rob u blind he doesn't tell u that what u have is valuable. Instead, he tells u that it's garbage in hopes of buying it from u for little or nothing.
" bar none" "why not" "stuff" " for lack of a better word?" 😂you truly admire America, 🙏🏾
After living in the U.S. over 50 years of my life, I’m retired now and I decided to move back to Jamaica and build a house, now I’ve been here for almost ten years and it’s the worst mistake I’ve ever made in my life, an as soon as I can get rid of this house, this island will never see me again, don’t even want to see it on a map, this place is terrible, take my foolish advice, do not I repeat don not come back to Jamaica, you will regret It.
Why, I would love to hear your reason for saying this. I find that most people who speak like this come back to Jamaica and go to the worst areas, or even in the ghetto and then complain that the standard of living is below standard. They tend to rely on the system to provide everything instead of a situation where they come and have their money and do them thing. As long as you have money in Jamaica you nice so I would love to know your situation. So please do tell.
@ronsmith286, would like to hear about your experiences. Can you elaborate on what happened to make you want to move back to the US and never see JA again?

My father was rob at gunpoint for his pension money
I'm sorry to hear that everytime your father gets pension payment, he is robbed. I do hope he is safe and you are taking steps to have him in a safer location.
I do understand the trauma this can cause.
The issues why a lot of Jamaicans are not returning to Jamaica are: CRIME! CRIME! CRIME! BAD local roads, lousy customer service from business establishments and a health care system that is way below international standards!! Some of us brave ones who have returned or planning on returning can only hope that there will be significant improvements in these areas in the near future, if not there will be a another mass migration back to farin!
I can't agree with you but I can respect your views. Sounds like as you walk out you gate people robbing and k#####g. Nothing like that we just overexagerating things. People don't leave because of crim they leave because of lack of money.
I am not talking about leaving I and referring to the reasons why a lot of Jamaicans have no plans on returning. Just had a conversation with six Jamaicans in Atlanta who are getting ready to retire and not one of them will consider returning to Ja because of the reasons I listed. Let’s be honest and focus on solving the problems instead of pretending these issues are non existent.😢
@@RoyD450 ok, have these people,e visited Jamajca or are they told of violence. Is there ever a situation where people call them and tell them that John brown just opened a business and its doing well. Most of the people who have a fear to return are basing those fears off what they hear. The "white " man here every day walking up and down with nothing but a flipflop and a napsack because they see what we have. But hey I see the value and that's all that matters I guess.
Let's be honest, think about it the people who don't wish to return have they bin back to Jamaica. When they come back where do they go. Do they go in well established communities or do they go to areas that are questionable. Do they walk around overexposure themselves or do they go about being vigilant.
The reality is that crime and violence is everywhere. Even overseas, we are acting like crime Is not in the us. If you go to places where there is high crime then the chances of you being hurt increases. That's the reality.
@@AJAWI_TV Let’s not blame these folks. Whether they visited 1, 2, or every six months does not change the fact that there are some problems that should be addressed. We need to demand that the government along with councillors address these issues and not just give lip service.
I am working on my Mandarin before I return. 😂😂😂
Lol. Waaaah
Are you serious you have to deal with the bullets that has no name on them before I would think about coming back to see that beautiful island, yes the land call Jamaica is beautiful so much fruits to eat that you don't need to eat the dead flesh but crime is too much too much killings
OK I can respect your view.
Jamaican do send their resources back home but people use for their own needs
Jamaicans send their money back home to people who have no interest in proper financial decision. Am not talking sending money back to people who sit waiting on you to feed them am talking about investing.
One of the biggest problems is badmind and hype.+ red eyes 😢 .
I think the biggest problem is that most of our resources are being pulled out.
We ❤️ Jamaican but the young Jamaican isn’t loving Jamaica or pride… they are killing there elders that return to help
Just a broad brush. So if you put it that way it is fare for me to not trust returning residents then. When I was in second year of university I took on a job to pay my tuition because I was the one paying myself through life. The returning resident ripped me off took my design and used it and did not pay me. Used tricks on me to get my drawing. I dropped out of school for the semester because of that. I was depending in that money to pay my tuition . So do I label all returning resident or do I move forward and understand that out of 10 I come across 1 may be a rotten egg and I just have to be vigilant.
Okay, ..but ask ,.." Husien Bolt ",... 'Singapore' has no crime or murder rate ,...you Sir ARE rated ' LEVEL ' Three.... PLUS there are no ,.' Choppah ' aka Scammers theives or hustlers in Singapore ...So for you to use " Singapore " as an example... brother I really think you need a mental health specialist..... " Teef "...😮
Yes the us labeled us as level three. Who are they God. Also the amount of people.e being killed in the us is far more than Jamaica. You are brainwashed.
@Gary-vl7lp: I am watching the video and my mouth is on the floor because I am wondering if it is the Island Jamaica that I still live on where a week don't go by that I don't experience, the worst Customer service possible to the average Jamaican, the slaughterhouse Healthcare system that took my mom's life in 2022 and continue to do so for the average Jamaican without accountability and not to mention the death rate of our women and girls consistently. For a moment I wanted to believe he was talking about another Island or Country named Jamaica but he has our accent and sound very much like wi, so him really talking about the Island I live on. I think I betta mind mi business and allow him to exercise him Marketing Skills.

Say things like that, not stuff, don't let America fill you with the slangs, stuff is not an intelligent word it's just a slang. That is why you don't hear it in our newscast.
Thank you, I don't worry about things like that.
FAMILY & FOLKS [especially PENSIONERS etc] . "TAN a UNNO YARD a FARRIN"......✍🏿🇻🇨
You might be right to some extent. If you worked overseas and you rely only on pension and you need the system to take care of you, then Jamaica is hard. You want to be in a position where you don't need the state to take care of you. Pension should just be an added cash flow that you can use as disposable income, and you have other things going on.
