    I'm so glad to see young Africans born elsewhere coming to or being brought to the continent. I'm old and stricken with a number of chronic ailments that make repatriating to the Motherland impractical. I did, however, planned to visit Ghana this month, but we all know what happened with that notion. We need more young folks going to the Motherland. I'm exited to see what the B.A. G. family is doing, especially that the children are all in.

      @@AfricanProudVillageWomanJuju :I beg to differ. When was the last time you ever heard someone of English, French, German of any other ancestry, except people of African ancestry referred to themselves as "mixed race? Being in America for generations, folks of European ancestry could very well call themselves "mix race" too, if your logic is applied. Anyway, race is a false construct. It's important that people of African ancestry look at themselves as decedents of the continent of Africa. We have been pulled and shredded apart for too darn long. The time has come for us to see ourselves as we are, Africans. By the way, if one follows the archaeological evidence, all people of the world are technically African, since that's where humankind originated.

I'm currently building another house in New Gbawe, Top Base, the costs involved is relatively expensive so I would like to think I know what I'm talking about.

    Such a lively happy young woman, good! Happy to hear how you manage . I have a question: You talk about "here" where you love it, in a huge house, etc. As a tourist twice, I actually see only the struggling fruitsellers on the beach and the many poor people in Serrekunda-region and in the places we visit in tours. I came back with the idea that there is so much poverty and unemployment in the Gambia for the youth. Is my view of the country all wrong? And if it is: what should I come to visit the next time?

    Her videos convinced me to never have ambitions to move to Africa. It seems like Americans who move there behave as elitist. Because of the culture and we are used to certain things that are not standard in Gambia. I’m not willing to rough it.
