I cannot agree with you more. I am Trini living in the US and most of my very close friends are from Jamaica. Is only love and respect and i always wonder where the negativity come from. And you know what is also crazy? Trinidad and Tobago play reggae music throughout the years even during carnival. Is only love.
I am Jamaican 🇯🇲and have been to Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 many times I love it there was treated well by the people there also my friends. When I’m in Trinidad, I feel like Home..
I am so proud to be rocking both counties :) 😀 My dad was born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, and my mother was born and raised in Jamaica. They both migrated to Canada in the 70's sometime, and as God would have it, found each other married and had a family. I just came back from Jamaica, for a vacation, and I have never been more proud of my Caribbean roots
@DorraineReid I remember in high-school like many of us born in another country than our parents, many of us don't really know to value where our parents come from. A part of don't really know to care. An aquatince friend of mine whose parents were both Jamaican, said something along the lines that he was a pure breed Jamaican, after I told him where my parents were from. As obvious the point he was making, it took me years later to understand what he meant. I laugh at that now looking back. We were on 2 totally different wavelengths. One other person said I was - mixed up. But so good to see the one love here in the comments, and I am glad I simply didn't have any kind of comparative mindset especially as a young man. That would of not been good for me, and my sense of identity.
@@Cliff_Simon you're right that the comparison wouldn't have been good for you. That pure breed Jamaican is a real thing enuh...it is indeed one love here despite the differences
Jamaica has no rival in the Caribbean, period. It's simply too great; it's singular, when all things are considered truthfully, and RATIONALLY. Frankly, even if you combined ALL the other Caribbean countries, they wouldn't even come close to Jamaica's achievements. I'ts just as simple as that.
@MARKFOWLER-c8o the million dollar question I had especially when I was there last, was how on earth is Jamaica not a first world country? How do they not have a stronger dollar and economy than the United States? It can't even be numbered accurately the millions of people that travel to Jamaica every year!!! It's obviously not a 3rd world country with starving people, and I know this does not only apply to Jamaica and the Caribbean, but when I look at so many countries in Africa, I can also say similar with the amount of natural resources that come from there. Why are they not also first world countries?? I want to see Jamaica be very good for those who live there, not just for people like me who visit.
Am trini mi love patties and doubles i will visit Jamaica soon it's been on my list for years cause am a nature lover and to taste that Ackee love in the house to all my caribbean ppl ❤🇹🇹
@@DorraineReidYOU FORGOT TO MENTION THAT JAMAICA JUST OPENED THE LARGEST MALL IN THE ENGLISH SPEAKING CARIBBEAN. I ALSO SOME WHAT DISAGREE WITH HIM SAYING JAMAICA DOESNT HAVE HIGHRISE .I THOUGHT YOU'D CORRECT THAT..HE WAS SIMPLY EXPLAINING WESTERN JAMAICA.
@@Halfwaytreeclock He's talking about the diversity and high rise for the regular people living. Jamaica do not have as many Highrise for multiple dwellings as Trinidad, mainly for business but there are a few for private dwelling high-rises. We hope that Jamaica will not adopt the high rise element and limit it to only ten to 15 floors because we will stop looking like a tropical island and that wont be a good thing.
As a jamaican who live inna Trinidad mi feel right at home and have no desire to go back a yaad. Nuff jamaican here and other persons from all over. Next to America only Trinidad mi see tek so much people. Jamaican should be grateful because when jamaica need loan Trinidad government always help everyone
I agree with the comments the gentleman made about the difference between Jamaica and Trinidad. He has identified the strengths and weaknesses of both islands. Which islands has more strengths will be another topic of debate.
Am from trinidad & Tobago, never been to JA but I have alot of jamaican friends here,an I can tell you there are the most down to earth ,honest an hard working ppl 💯love both countries ❤️
I am a Jamaican🇯🇲🇯🇲 living in the UK and was married to a Trinidadian for 31 years. 🇹🇹🇹🇹There was no real rivalry except when it came to sports, music and some foods. We had divided loyalty within the home when the islands competed against each other😂😂 the children made their personal choice who they would support at any given time. I do agree that the staff at the airport in Tand T can be cold. However, once I travelled solo with my children 4yrs and 3 months old. The youngest was most uncomfortable with heat on arrival. A member of staff recognised that this was the case and called me forward to the front of the queue. I was most grateful. Love the shopping malls in Trinidad, but still like going down Frederick Street for a bargain. My relaxing time in Trinidad is when we go over to Tobago. Slower pace of life and beautiful. Jamaica has many more places of natural beauty richer history. Love them both for different reasons.🇹🇹🇯🇲🇹🇹🇯🇲 but I can't give up my Jamaica😂😂
My opinion. Both places have good food and people. Trinidad wins for beautiful women. Jamaica has nicer and more easier access to nice beaches although Trinidadians can easily access to Tobago.
He hit the nail on the head, my experience with jamaicans in jamaica is normal and i see no animosity, but the foreign jamaicans are more aggressive and have something to prove and like trolling 🧌 others Caribbean people. I find it to be insecure behavior, with all the fame and worldwide relevance, why punch down on lesser known Caribbean islands. You should punch up or fight in your weight class, especially since we " small Islands " take in so many fleeing jamaicans.......we never flee to Jamaica 🇯🇲 Eastern Caribbean is one love and our economies dwaf jamaicas.
@@Spartanübermensch I know, those yt countries you run to deport you by the plane load and give other *lesser know* Caribbean islands visa free travel but mighty well known famous jamaica who have a yt king 🤴 never step up for you. I would think having a yt king would give unno some leverage. No?
All Caribbean is one love. We all support each other in different ways. We also have our personal identity pride that will influence some exchange but at the core of it all, people in the Caribbean get along well
@DorraineReid Well, I do agree that Eastern Caribbean is one love and there is no deadly rivalry between Trinidad and jamaicans. I can't see that happening. Still, you prepare yourself. This video is gonna get very cantankerous as time goes on so prepare for the bull 💩 and I'm here for the bull 💩 many jamaican trolls know me. I'm all about the bull 💩.
The comments in other Caribbean islands videos say different, you guys are always there bad mouthing people food and culture. Now take the heat you are getting nobody in the Eastern Caribbean is feeling sorry for standing on their square.
@winsomebarnett7067 Never said that, and I know that. But the ones who do it like to throw stones and hide their hands and pretend it's us who badmind them. No more days like those, we are fed up.
@@magicmike6129 I don't c the reason for some off those behavior I guess because I interact with different ppl from different islands I don't discriminate I know some ja can b aggressive and come off a little strong sometimes and talk negatively about other cultures concerning their food but I've heard and seen many other people judge all ja wrong also and that's totally wrong too
I Agree with you that the rivalry has always been friendly. Most people from the Caribbean region tend to have family that comes from other islands, so it's pretty hard for me to have a bitter rivalry with my cousins simply because they're Jamaican-born.
Rivalry in what they have more money we better in sport and our culture number one we have bobmarley jimmy cliff burning spear Marcus gravey and music we America is rivial in track field
@staminadon It was black Americans who got Garvey poppin, jamaicans wanted nothing to do with him go read 📚 he fled jamaica and died of a broken heart in England. FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICANS made Garvey
Hi, i am a Trini who has visited almost two thirds of the caribbean islands several in states in America and Canada and came to the co conclusion that Trinidad is very much like America in terms of our national infostructure (eg our roads and buildings and even some of our foods) but we are very much like our sister islands by our friendly disposition, foods, . There are certain features that sets us apart from the rest of the world though. In Trinidad your regge, is iquivelent to our calipso, and your dance hall , is iquivelent to our soca music. At our airports we most of the time have five and six flights coming in at the same time, so if they push the passengers out on time, flights could overlap , and that could prove to be a bit messy at time. Trinidad has never really depended on tourism for our daily income, since we have been a country of commerce. But over the years we have gotten so many visitors to our island some for work others for vacation especially with the advent of social media. Eight out of every ten persons travel to other destination at least twice a year, further adding to the acceptance of diversity. Liming is our informal way of hagging out, 98% of the country is out on weekends, not every outing is liming, but I can assure you this, almost all outings, ends in us liming..so don't be surprised to find every dress code in one liming area and no one feels out of place. Our accent is very melodious in Trinidad and also our pronunciation of words ; which is even diffrent to our sister isle of Tobago. Tobago gives you that island vibes which is found in most island, so when the need arise it is normal for a Trini to jump on a fairy and head over to Tobago; but I will be in Jamacia for a few days in September would love to meet and lime Jamacia style
Mi love my Trinis. We Jamaicans just have strong personalities but once y'all realize we don't take anything serious then you will start seeing us for who we really are, loving people, aguh mouth you, aguh put up a fight no matter what but at the end of the day, we actually very welcoming.
We envy 🇯🇲? very interesting 👌🏾 I remember in the mid 80s in Trinidad 🇹🇹 our $$ boom years so many people migrating to Trinidad, Guyanese Grenadians, jamaicans, etc......the jamaican kids always stood out to me, They seem so primitive in the way they dressed, they didn't know what yogurt was or a mall, mayonnaise, video games etc etc. Trinidad back then was known as little New York, clothes fashion style we banged it. One particular incident stood out to me it was Christmas 🎄 1986 and as usual our families would give us money to go to the malls shop for our presents 🎁 or money we saved........so it was me and a few of my cousins, as we approached the escalator in the mall we saw some jamaicans gathered around it cussing the escalator .....we knew they were jamaicans by their off brand clothing. As we approached the escalator we can hear them saying *Ah wah dis* dem steps a move* * mi nah like it * a obeah dis* dem trini different * ratid mi na ride no moving steps* finally my oldest girl cousins who was always eager to fight yelled at them to move.......as we got on the escalator looking down at them and them looking up at us, not one of us thought in that moment about enving jamaicans. True story.
Please don't believe anything this fool said. Last year, he told me most of his friends and his kids are half jamaican. Now he has cool stories 😆 what a clown. In America, trinis always try to join our clique since school days. Primitive yet we have a greater impact on the world. They did a recent survey in Kenya 99 percent of the people never heard of Trinidad 100 percent knew about jamaica.
THIS HAS BEEN QUITE EYE OPENING!!!, HAVE NEVER BEEN TO JAMAICA, AS A TRI.NI/TOBAG, MY ONLY CONTACT WITH Jamaicans has been mainly in the UK, AND HAVE always found them to be VERY WARM HEARTED, AND seem to enjoy the contact with T&T, people here in the UK. ( ALMOST LIKE 1 BIG HAPPY FAMILY). !!++. 😊❤
In other words, Trinidad is better overall. The part about Jamaica's developments shouldn't be any higher than palm trees is god awful. That's one of the reasons why Jamaica has an economic development problem. Jamaicans are slowly realizing that they are being left behind.
Whatever makes you feel better… 😂 All yall talk about is wealth and money . What does that ever prove? The most richest people in the world are not always the best. We don’t need wealth to be a good country unlike yall .
Two islands are unique in their own way, Trinidad and Tobago is very well developed as a small island nation. Mpst people are very well educated.. Tobago is very laid back and natural beauty as I was born there and then migrated to Trinidad then to USA. Food is great, carnival is worldwide inventor of steel pan which is only instrument invented in 21st century,.then you have oil natural gas and asphalt pitch lake which is one of.the only natural phenomenon in the world, massive ports and two international airports,.brand new fast ferries for inter Island travel, T&T is almost like first world island if u ever visited you'll be impressed and it could of been way further ahead and its heading there anyway...The south is very industrious ie: San Fernando and Marabella very developed cities in the south with oil refineries...In the west you have West Morings with houses that rivals Hollywood in the USA,.and don't forget down the islands which you can only access thru boat and watercraft,.its a whole other world there with huge mansions on the water, trini also makes international boats, world famous Maracas Beach for renowned bake and shark, its too much to list bcuz I didn't even touch on Arima to Sangre Grande in the east to central which is represented by Chaguanas and Couva and all those other areas which is the fastest developing places in T&T with vibrant business centers and residential living...All in All Trinidad 🇹🇹 and Tobago is unique and very rich in culture race and diversity truly amazing, one has to visit to see.for themselves bcuz you cannot rely on someone to tell u,.you have to go to really enjoy this wonderful amazing experience no lie ❤, I love Jamaica.

Dorraine, I’m Trini living in NJ in the US. My Jamaican friends adore me and I adore them. I support all Caribbean nations and I have never felt any form of disrespect from anyone from another Caribbean island. Lovely videos and excellent content, continue making them…. Love you.
The country is Trinidad and Tobago. That fella forgot completely to mention Tobago. Sounds like he doesn't know his country well. In his comment he didn't give TnT the justice it deserves. If he did, he would have been able to speak of the tropical touristic beautiful island with white sand and pink sandy beaches, rain forest nature trials, water falls etc. Yes TnT is both commercial and touristic because of Tobago. So Jamaica there is beauty to compare.
@@afrostarbrown217 😂🤣🤣🤣 Dat business fix long time. That was small thing. TnT don't stick. Don't feel that Jamaica is exempted from disasters. Last big one, Portia asked TnT PM to come see and he was so generous you all were able to rebuild with TnT money. You must stop trying to bite the hands that feed you where is your gratitude!!!
Jamaicans definitely have a different party vibe than us, all they drink is beer 🍺 when whether in Canada or the states, i know lots of jamaicans been to many back yard parties cookouts and i noticed they will buy 10 cases of beer but only one bottle of Appleton 😅😂😂 us trinis in those parties starts climbing up the walls craving stronger stuff. In our parties is every kind of hard liquor available cases of them and maybe a beer or two to wash it down.
True we party different, I can't handle drinking 5 beer in a row like yaadie, got to give me the bush rum, punchin, whiskey and scotch like my grandfather use to run it.
Use beer to wash down hard liquor,dam no wonder Trini suffer so much liver/internal problems..stop it blokes,thats too much alcohol...and Trini,stop trying to compete with Jamaica,with oil your economy must/should do better these days,but dont forget not too long ago Jamaica dollar was stronger than even the USA, JA economy start turn arround pretty soon,we are friends and neighbours allways,but competing with jamaica will not happen,soon Jamaica/economy will take off like a rocket..Jamaica love everybody..try that too.
Long story short: Trinidad is more like "first world country". Jamaica did not as yet strike oil. Therefore Trinidad more successful. Jamaica prettier tropical island. Ja. appears to be a collection of all the carib islands.
I'm familiar with both cultures background Ja and 🇺🇸 growing up in the 🇺🇸 I've interacted with other Caribbean ppl and familiarized myself with different food and cultures each has it's own uniqueness but it's always been a love hate relationship with ja and other islands especially Trinidad honestly i don't know y not to sound bias but Jamaica is a class by itself we just stand out in everything which can also be negatively at times and sometimes ppl tend to compare in a negative light but just has how we're seen that way by many we're also unique trend setters amazing athletes and many r highly educated articulate loving kind caring ppl I've met many beautiful Trinidadian ppl who are also like their ja counterparts educated articulate loving kind and beautiful but due to some negative behavior in each Island by some ignorant individuals this were we have comparisons that breeds hate but that guy is correct in alot off ways except for a few things ja love to lyme also patties are more famous than doubles but other than that both islands are beautiful for my favorite things to eat from Trinidad is Roti doubles pone sorrel mauby juice and there johnny cakes never been to Trinidad but my son was bless with both cultures 🇺🇸 ja and trini none nuh better than none 2 beautiful islands
@winsone I'm glad you recognize that jamaicans are in a class of their own,you know the only nation on Jamaica level culturally and impact is America ,when you say better what do you mean?
The situation with Jamaica became a rivalry that started from a resentment, not only from Trinidad but also from the other British West Indian colonies. During colonial times, Jamaica was treated as the main island and was given more preferential treatment than our neighbors, and despite the qualifications of local people on their island, a Jamaican was often brought and placed in top positions and positions of authority within the territories. This, of course, created an atmosphere for resentment to develop. I find that most people in the Caribbean get along just fine. There is hardly any difference in cultural behaviors and attitudes, but as always, the loudest, most aggressive, and negative people stand out and are easily identified as a stereotype for each island. Jamaica has a different vibe from most other places. The people had a generally more friendly and welcoming attitude than other places, but this is unfortunately no longer that way. As beautiful as the physical island is, past visitors would always remark about the beauty of the Jamaican people foremost. In Trinidad, everything is a reason to party no matter what. Good or bad occasion, let's have a lyme. Don't try to out-drink a Trini. Doubles in the morning is the greatest thing, I love patty in the afternoon. They are not competing comfort foods but are equally perfect for the time of day you should eat them. I enjoy them both at any time. There is definitely a greater variety of food readily available in Trinidad, although the basic staple food culture is pretty much the same within the Caribbean. We eat many variations of the same things and sometimes give them different names. Trinidad has oil, so electricity is not as expensive there as it is in other islands. So, air-conditioned indoor malls can be a thing there and not so much in other Caribbean islands that don't have oil. Trinidad is rapidly developing, but as mentioned, this feels more North America than Caribbean, Jamaica is also rapidly developing yet seems to retain a more Caribbean tropical feel, and the beaches, rivers and mountains are the most beautiful.
There is no need for the rivalry. Jamaica is better in some areas and Trinidad is better is some areas, and that's it. We are Caribbean people and need to support each other. He made good points and you (The lady) made good points. You were both fair.
As a Trini, my biased view is I prefer doubles. I am not really impressed with patties but the patties I have enjoyed all come from the same source so my opinion is based on a limited sample.
He did not explain what liming was properly. Liming is just hanging out doing nothing in particular, milling around with a drink in hand. When Jamaicans go out, we are doing something, partying or just watching an event... Trinis are special, they "lime."
I really like Yohan Partap. He is very great at video editing. I enjoy his takes. I don’t agree with his opinion on the food because I’ve been to Trinidad, spent 3 months there, and I didn’t like the food at all, not even did my family and Indian-Jamaican step family. We were starving until we bought ourselves a hot plate and started cooking in our hotel rooms. There was only one place that the food was delicious and it was a top scale Cantonese restaurant.
Mr Bias man, Jamaica loves everyone however, some Caribbean countries have been taught in schools that the rebellious slaves were sent to Jamaica. They were taught that they are better than Jamaicans. Living in reality has shown them otherwise so they have an internal resentment when Jamaica doesn't care they love everybody. So you know what happens when you hate for no reason, you only hurt yourself. I cant listen to him bec he is naturally bias Jamaica is the party central so idk what he is saying sighh. Liming is in Guyana and everywhere in the Caribbean not just trinidad lol smh
@@RichardWillis-fn4hg Can you read?? Everyone and Anyone are two different words with different meanings. Seriously, do you have something different you had already prepared yourself to say? Please say it, I got an answer for you.
Im trinidadian and dont like doubles no matter where its made whomever or sold, i dont like it( i hate chana or chick peas some call it).But the jamican patties god damn they are good,very delicous i had that for breakfast so many times by the breakfast shed in port of spain trinidad.
On the part of 'lime', Dorraine had mentioned that Jamaicans are also outgoing. That should only be applied to entertainment/hospitality related activities, and not in comparison to Trinidad. However, since COVID, Jamaican's have not been out lately, but only for work in their new economic regime. Jamaicans like to be more confined to their space, are more insecure, and the women enjoy being indoors a lot. And Jamaicans are not the best of well doers these days and are not welling to do much for their surroundings, hence the criticisms it often gets from Trinidad, and despite Jamaicans being the most friendly.
You have nothing else to talk about in the caribbean your topics are making no sense, Jamaica 🇯🇲 is in no rivalry with any country, Jamaica is doing fine, it is keeping calm and carrying a big stick for any country that challenge it 🇯🇲 period
A big stick for who lmaooo Rite now Jamaica under the big stick of the IMF..u not in any position of power economically,neither geopolitically..fame doesn’t wield power much less any type of figuratively “big stick” for any one that challenge…why y’all didn’t pull out the big stick for Trinidad smh only the other small islands u guys could tlk down to smh
Come after Jamaica 🇯🇲 and you will feel it you try all the time and get crushed by Jamaica 🇯🇲 to the point where the world is asking where in the caribbean you are, go sit down and keep quiet ,oil not helping Trinidad poverty is rampant in Trinidad,you always in the IMF pocket who you trying to fool ?
@@horatiobarnes8608 u know what I admire tho,the undeniable strength within Jamaicans,with the little they have to hold onto they make sure to wield it to the best of their ability,that cultural influence,that brand (Jamaica) that accent etc..for a little island,yes I said little which you are,idk why y’all be calling other ppl likkle island smh but anyways for a country that is not even a Republic,yes the King of England is your head of state…anyways that has faced negative economic decline for yrs,high unemployment rates,high poverty rates,high crime rates sometimes the highest in the Caribbean,even under the thumb of the IMF and the World bank but still no matter what you guys still managed to be the most arrogant most boastful most aggressive ppl,that is resilience in some weird way to put it 😊
No rivalry Trinidad rich than Jamaica 🇯🇲 and have more Jamaica 🇯🇲 is a established place Trinidad is a up coming island 🏝️ we better in sports Jamaica more famous food 🍱 better too much bread 🍞 in a Trinidad food 🍱 Jamaica 🇯🇲 4 corners of the this world
@@lancejack8507 beaches what? Which beach? Hssst. Come to Jamaica, and u will c beaches. U will also c locals using free beaches. Our 7 mile beach in Negril is also free to all Jamaicans.
I can’t see why we comparing the islands, so petty and childish, Jamaicans are confident our history and achievements speaks volumes, we don’t just rival a single country, we take on the entire world and don’t have to utter a word , we just make a statement, we just prove what we can do and what we about , been a Jamaican out in the world garner you a huge amount of respect, trust me , i don’t think been from any other country allows you the international respect you get when you are Jamaican, been a Jamaican kind a give you a free pass unless you as a individual mess up , we are the most fascinating people of the world, Jamaicans need to understand how chosen and blessed we are , that’s why most Jamaicas out in the diaspora love and appreciate Jamaica after they see the attention and respect you get been a yardie, 🇯🇲🇹🇹
The only Trinidadians who live on Liberty Ave Queens, are the Indian Trinidadians. Interesting, because that is where the Indian Guyanese also live. Black Trinis live in the same areas of Brooklyn, as the Jamaicans and Black Guyanese.
I’m Trinidadian and been to Jamaica 6 times, on the Pattie & doubles, I’ll go 50, 50, I like them both, but then again I’m a foodie, I love a crispy tasty hot Pattie but I also love a very hot tasty doubles with slight pepper He’s correct when it comes to a variety of food or dishes , I have to say Trinidad is verity verity verity Malls for sure, I gave it to Trinidad, music big difference, soca has it’s place and reggae has it place, on development and infrastructure, I’ll give that to Trinidad but like he said, Jamaica has a lot of natural beauty Sports, Jamaicans are more committed to their training, where as Trinidadian fete too much😂
Trinidad politics is its downfall since it is along racial lines as opposed to merit. When you have this there is constant mismanagement, discrimination, corruption and nepotism. The island has had its oil booms and nothing significant to show for it. One race giverns for all and one only for their likeness, one builds up the financial reserves and the other pocketing those funds. JA is a democracy too but not along racial lines with them essentially having a homogenous population; everybody on the same page in other words same as the other Caribbean islands with homogenous demographics.
I grow up and live in Jamaica almost all my life I'm living in Trinidad for the past 7 years is almost right with everything And people please remember it is opinion.🎉❤
There are no comparison between the two, jamaica wins hands-down. Jamaica it's country and people are renowned worldwide. As jamaican living overseas, I see you hear even white kinds speaking, dressing and taking on the persona and it's culture. Another proud Jamaican 🇯🇲
The Jamaican people are friendly, which is good for the tourism. We are not friendly as a result of tourism. Because no matter who you are, the average Jamaican will be welcoming to you. We just need to work on improving our conflict management.

I am jamaican and jamaicans can not party like Trinidadians, we like to go to parties to stand up and watch, trinis go to parties to dance and have fun, look at a stage show in Trinidad compares to jamaica same reggae artist btw, you cant debate partying and say lime ,just doing that you lost the debate. Trinidad is way more diverse so naturally they will have a larger variety of food. Malls are no longer the rave, as a matter of fact a lot of malls in are America closing down. Cant compare beef patty and doubles. Jamaica have better food overall, they put green seasoning on everything!
Aye I ain't going to compare pattie and doubles because that is up to preference. but you see green seasoning and variety of food and overall quality and taste Jamaica loss that argument also. You all forgeting that Tobago is part of TnT. Tobago creole food is the best. No Maggie seasoning with MSG to kill you slowly JA.
@stillirise7813 powder seasoning can be natural without additives. And the point was to diversify the flavors everything cannot and should not taste the same. And you guys do use powder seasoning. Isn't Curry powder seasoning?
@Benji_1 I agree, but that's a testament to the strength of our culture, black culture will always be dominant in jamaica. For trinis, the Syrians, the Indians, the Spanish all come in and over influence the culture. Few years from now Spanish will be required in Trinidad
@DevineOrr A few years from now unno will be eating Ackee and salt fish with chopsticks 🥢🥢🥢 and yes diversity is our strength 💪🏾 show me a 90% African place in this world that is winning. Send me a link.
Why people like to used Jamaica to get recognition for their country. Please, please Jamaica is not to be compare or compete with any country in the Caribbean. Jamaica is not worried about the the Caribbean countries, we are busy influencing the world.

@@alphansoworth9775 Brother man, I'm not going to take the bait that you have so expertly set out before me. Instead, I'm just going to say that as a Caribbean person, especially one who has lived outside of the Caribbean for the last 35 years, we have more similarities than differences, and I thank you for your insightful comments.
I never been to trinadad I’m a JAMAICAN & we are all caribbean people with similar things and culture nothing but love for our people 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
One love from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹🙏
I cannot agree with you more. I am Trini living in the US and most of my very close friends are from Jamaica. Is only love and respect and i always wonder where the negativity come from. And you know what is also crazy? Trinidad and Tobago play reggae music throughout the years even during carnival. Is only love.
I am Jamaican 🇯🇲and have been to Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 many times I love it there was treated well by the people there also my friends. When I’m in Trinidad, I feel like Home..
You should hear what their thoughts are on Jamaicans.
I am so proud to be rocking both counties :) 😀 My dad was born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, and my mother was born and raised in Jamaica. They both migrated to Canada in the 70's sometime, and as God would have it, found each other married and had a family. I just came back from Jamaica, for a vacation, and I have never been more proud of my Caribbean roots
Nice!!!! Rock on
@DorraineReid I remember in high-school like many of us born in another country than our parents, many of us don't really know to value where our parents come from. A part of don't really know to care. An aquatince friend of mine whose parents were both Jamaican, said something along the lines that he was a pure breed Jamaican, after I told him where my parents were from. As obvious the point he was making, it took me years later to understand what he meant. I laugh at that now looking back. We were on 2 totally different wavelengths. One other person said I was - mixed up. But so good to see the one love here in the comments, and I am glad I simply didn't have any kind of comparative mindset especially as a young man. That would of not been good for me, and my sense of identity.
@@Cliff_Simon you're right that the comparison wouldn't have been good for you. That pure breed Jamaican is a real thing enuh...it is indeed one love here despite the differences
Jamaica has no rival in the Caribbean, period. It's simply too great; it's singular, when all things are considered truthfully, and RATIONALLY. Frankly, even if you combined ALL the other Caribbean countries, they wouldn't even come close to Jamaica's achievements. I'ts just as simple as that.
@MARKFOWLER-c8o the million dollar question I had especially when I was there last, was how on earth is Jamaica not a first world country? How do they not have a stronger dollar and economy than the United States? It can't even be numbered accurately the millions of people that travel to Jamaica every year!!! It's obviously not a 3rd world country with starving people, and I know this does not only apply to Jamaica and the Caribbean, but when I look at so many countries in Africa, I can also say similar with the amount of natural resources that come from there. Why are they not also first world countries?? I want to see Jamaica be very good for those who live there, not just for people like me who visit.
I am a Trinidad male and some of the most loving people I have met and got to know in my life is Jamican 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇯🇲🇯🇲 one Caribbean

@@Halfwaytreeclock He's talking about the diversity and high rise for the regular people living. Jamaica do not have as many Highrise for multiple dwellings as Trinidad, mainly for business but there are a few for private dwelling high-rises. We hope that Jamaica will not adopt the high rise element and limit it to only ten to 15 floors because we will stop looking like a tropical island and that wont be a good thing.
Trinidad Tobago are so different
To Jamaica starting with the food and diversity can’t be compared
As a jamaican who live inna Trinidad mi feel right at home and have no desire to go back a yaad. Nuff jamaican here and other persons from all over. Next to America only Trinidad mi see tek so much people. Jamaican should be grateful because when jamaica need loan Trinidad government always help everyone
I agree with the comments the gentleman made about the difference between Jamaica and Trinidad. He has identified the strengths and weaknesses of both islands. Which islands has more strengths will be another topic of debate.
Reggae and dancehall plays right throughout the Caribbean countries on every radio stations
Am from trinidad & Tobago, never been to JA but I have alot of jamaican friends here,an I can tell you there are the most down to earth ,honest an hard working ppl 💯love both countries ❤️
Report them to immigration.
I am a Jamaican🇯🇲🇯🇲 living in the UK and was married to a Trinidadian for 31 years. 🇹🇹🇹🇹There was no real rivalry except when it came to sports, music and some foods. We had divided loyalty within the home when the islands competed against each other😂😂 the children made their personal choice who they would support at any given time.
I do agree that the staff at the airport in Tand T can be cold. However, once I travelled solo with my children 4yrs and 3 months old. The youngest was most uncomfortable with heat on arrival. A member of staff recognised that this was the case and called me forward to the front of the queue. I was most grateful.
Love the shopping malls in Trinidad, but still like going down Frederick Street for a bargain.
My relaxing time in Trinidad is when we go over to Tobago. Slower pace of life and beautiful. Jamaica has many more places of natural beauty richer history. Love them both for different reasons.🇹🇹🇯🇲🇹🇹🇯🇲 but I can't give up my Jamaica😂😂
Too much racism in Trinidad 😂
Both islands are brilliant, Trinidad created steel ban and calypso, Jamaica,Ska and Reggae

He hit the nail on the head, my experience with jamaicans in jamaica is normal and i see no animosity, but the foreign jamaicans are more aggressive and have something to prove and like trolling 🧌 others Caribbean people. I find it to be insecure behavior, with all the fame and worldwide relevance, why punch down on lesser known Caribbean islands. You should punch up or fight in your weight class, especially since we " small Islands " take in so many fleeing jamaicans.......we never flee to Jamaica 🇯🇲 Eastern Caribbean is one love and our economies dwaf jamaicas.

Grew up in the T&T in the 80s and 90s and Jamaica and T&T has always been a rivalry. Most times friendly in the 50 years that I've lived.
I Agree with you that the rivalry has always been friendly. Most people from the Caribbean region tend to have family that comes from other islands, so it's pretty hard for me to have a bitter rivalry with my cousins simply because they're Jamaican-born.

Jamaica has no rival in the Caribbean
Hi, i am a Trini who has visited almost two thirds of the caribbean islands several in states in America and Canada and came to the co conclusion that Trinidad is very much like America in terms of our national infostructure (eg our roads and buildings and even some of our foods) but we are very much like our sister islands by our friendly disposition, foods, . There are certain features that sets us apart from the rest of the world though. In Trinidad your regge, is iquivelent to our calipso, and your dance hall , is iquivelent to our soca music. At our airports we most of the time have five and six flights coming in at the same time, so if they push the passengers out on time, flights could overlap , and that could prove to be a bit messy at time. Trinidad has never really depended on tourism for our daily income, since we have been a country of commerce. But over the years we have gotten so many visitors to our island some for work others for vacation especially with the advent of social media. Eight out of every ten persons travel to other destination at least twice a year, further adding to the acceptance of diversity.
Liming is our informal way of hagging out, 98% of the country is out on weekends, not every outing is liming, but I can assure you this, almost all outings, ends in us liming..so don't be surprised to find every dress code in one liming area and no one feels out of place.
Our accent is very melodious in Trinidad and also our pronunciation of words ; which is even diffrent to our sister isle of Tobago. Tobago gives you that island vibes which is found in most island, so when the need arise it is normal for a Trini to jump on a fairy and head over to Tobago;
but I will be in Jamacia for a few days in September would love to meet and lime Jamacia style
Mi love my Trinis. We Jamaicans just have strong personalities but once y'all realize we don't take anything serious then you will start seeing us for who we really are, loving people, aguh mouth you, aguh put up a fight no matter what but at the end of the day, we actually very welcoming.
We envy 🇯🇲? very interesting 👌🏾 I remember in the mid 80s in Trinidad 🇹🇹 our $$ boom years so many people migrating to Trinidad, Guyanese Grenadians, jamaicans, etc......the jamaican kids always stood out to me, They seem so primitive in the way they dressed, they didn't know what yogurt was or a mall, mayonnaise, video games etc etc. Trinidad back then was known as little New York, clothes fashion style we banged it. One particular incident stood out to me it was Christmas 🎄 1986 and as usual our families would give us money to go to the malls shop for our presents 🎁 or money we saved........so it was me and a few of my cousins, as we approached the escalator in the mall we saw some jamaicans gathered around it cussing the escalator .....we knew they were jamaicans by their off brand clothing. As we approached the escalator we can hear them saying *Ah wah dis* dem steps a move* * mi nah like it * a obeah dis* dem trini different * ratid mi na ride no moving steps* finally my oldest girl cousins who was always eager to fight yelled at them to move.......as we got on the escalator looking down at them and them looking up at us, not one of us thought in that moment about enving jamaicans. True story.
Trying to look down Jamaicans?
@@DorraineReid As we rode up the escalator, we some how was looking down. By now you have at least one escalator over there. I'm guessing 🤔

They did a recent survey in Kenya 99 percent of the people never heard of Trinidad 100 percent knew about jamaica.
THIS HAS BEEN QUITE EYE OPENING!!!, HAVE NEVER BEEN TO JAMAICA, AS A TRI.NI/TOBAG, MY ONLY CONTACT WITH Jamaicans has been mainly in the UK, AND HAVE always found them to be VERY WARM HEARTED, AND seem to enjoy the contact with T&T, people here in the UK. ( ALMOST LIKE 1 BIG HAPPY FAMILY). !!++. 😊❤

Love the video ,but i think the thumb nail is a little too heavy.
Thanks for the feedback
In other words, Trinidad is better overall. The part about Jamaica's developments shouldn't be any higher than palm trees is god awful. That's one of the reasons why Jamaica has an economic development problem. Jamaicans are slowly realizing that they are being left behind.
Whatever makes you feel better… 😂 All yall talk about is wealth and money . What does that ever prove? The most richest people in the world are not always the best. We don’t need wealth to be a good country unlike yall .

Two islands are unique in their own way, Trinidad and Tobago is very well developed as a small island nation. Mpst people are very well educated..
Tobago is very laid back and natural beauty as I was born there and then migrated to Trinidad then to USA. Food is great, carnival is worldwide inventor of steel pan which is only instrument invented in 21st century,.then you have oil natural gas and asphalt pitch lake which is one of.the only natural phenomenon in the world, massive ports and two international airports,.brand new fast ferries for inter Island travel, T&T is almost like first world island if u ever visited you'll be impressed and it could of been way further ahead and its heading there anyway...The south is very industrious ie: San Fernando and Marabella very developed cities in the south with oil refineries...In the west you have West Morings with houses that rivals Hollywood in the USA,.and don't forget down the islands which you can only access thru boat and watercraft,.its a whole other world there with huge mansions on the water, trini also makes international boats, world famous Maracas Beach for renowned bake and shark, its too much to list bcuz I didn't even touch on Arima to Sangre Grande in the east to central which is represented by Chaguanas and Couva and all those other areas which is the fastest developing places in T&T with vibrant business centers and residential living...All in All Trinidad 🇹🇹 and Tobago is unique and very rich in culture race and diversity truly amazing, one has to visit to see.for themselves bcuz you cannot rely on someone to tell u,.you have to go to really enjoy this wonderful amazing experience no lie ❤, I love Jamaica.

If he did, he would have been able to speak of the tropical touristic beautiful island with white sand and pink sandy beaches, rain forest nature trials, water falls etc. Yes TnT is both commercial and touristic because of Tobago. So Jamaica there is beauty to compare.

Jamaicans definitely have a different party vibe than us, all they drink is beer 🍺 when whether in Canada or the states, i know lots of jamaicans been to many back yard parties cookouts and i noticed they will buy 10 cases of beer but only one bottle of Appleton 😅😂😂 us trinis in those parties starts climbing up the walls craving stronger stuff. In our parties is every kind of hard liquor available cases of them and maybe a beer or two to wash it down.
True we party different, I can't handle drinking 5 beer in a row like yaadie, got to give me the bush rum, punchin, whiskey and scotch like my grandfather use to run it.
They definitely not heavy drinkers, but how many Caribbean people can drink Trinidadians under the table?
@@lincolnclay7925 Pretty much none, but I heard Puerto Ricans 🇵🇷 can give us a go 🍾🥂🍻

Use beer to wash down hard liquor,dam no wonder Trini suffer so much liver/internal problems..stop it blokes,thats too much alcohol...and Trini,stop trying to compete with Jamaica,with oil your economy must/should do better these days,but dont forget not too long ago Jamaica dollar was stronger than even the USA, JA economy start turn arround pretty soon,we are friends and neighbours allways,but competing with jamaica will not happen,soon Jamaica/economy will take off like a rocket..Jamaica love everybody..try that too.
Both islands are strong and unique in their own way. No need to perpetuate what you found somewhere else.
Dont agree with him neither Jamaica dont stop parting in the steet music always playing in ja
Long story short: Trinidad is more like "first world country". Jamaica did not as yet strike oil. Therefore Trinidad more successful. Jamaica prettier tropical island. Ja. appears to be a collection of all the carib islands.
Trini and Jamaica is 1 love, the petty rivalry we have is all entertainment for both islands
I'm familiar with both cultures background Ja and 🇺🇸 growing up in the 🇺🇸 I've interacted with other Caribbean ppl and familiarized myself with different food and cultures each has it's own uniqueness but it's always been a love hate relationship with ja and other islands especially Trinidad honestly i don't know y not to sound bias but Jamaica is a class by itself we just stand out in everything which can also be negatively at times and sometimes ppl tend to compare in a negative light but just has how we're seen that way by many we're also unique trend setters amazing athletes and many r highly educated articulate loving kind caring ppl I've met many beautiful Trinidadian ppl who are also like their ja counterparts educated articulate loving kind and beautiful but due to some negative behavior in each Island by some ignorant individuals this were we have comparisons that breeds hate but that guy is correct in alot off ways except for a few things ja love to lyme also patties are more famous than doubles but other than that both islands are beautiful for my favorite things to eat from Trinidad is Roti doubles pone sorrel mauby juice and there johnny cakes never been to Trinidad but my son was bless with both cultures 🇺🇸 ja and trini none nuh better than none 2 beautiful islands
Now that's real talk
@winsone I'm glad you recognize that jamaicans are in a class of their own,you know the only nation on Jamaica level culturally and impact is America ,when you say better what do you mean?
The situation with Jamaica became a rivalry that started from a resentment, not only from Trinidad but also from the other British West Indian colonies.
During colonial times, Jamaica was treated as the main island and was given more preferential treatment than our neighbors, and despite the qualifications of local people on their island, a Jamaican was often brought and placed in top positions and positions of authority within the territories. This, of course, created an atmosphere for resentment to develop.
I find that most people in the Caribbean get along just fine. There is hardly any difference in cultural behaviors and attitudes, but as always, the loudest, most aggressive, and negative people stand out and are easily identified as a stereotype for each island.
Jamaica has a different vibe from most other places. The people had a generally more friendly and welcoming attitude than other places, but this is unfortunately no longer that way.
As beautiful as the physical island is, past visitors would always remark about the beauty of the Jamaican people foremost.
In Trinidad, everything is a reason to party no matter what. Good or bad occasion, let's have a lyme. Don't try to out-drink a Trini.
Doubles in the morning is the greatest thing, I love patty in the afternoon. They are not competing comfort foods but are equally perfect for the time of day you should eat them. I enjoy them both at any time.
There is definitely a greater variety of food readily available in Trinidad, although the basic staple food culture is pretty much the same within the Caribbean. We eat many variations of the same things and sometimes give them different names.
Trinidad has oil, so electricity is not as expensive there as it is in other islands. So, air-conditioned indoor malls can be a thing there and not so much in other Caribbean islands that don't have oil.
Trinidad is rapidly developing, but as mentioned, this feels more North America than Caribbean, Jamaica is also rapidly developing yet seems to retain a more Caribbean tropical feel, and the beaches, rivers and mountains are the most beautiful.
There is no need for the rivalry. Jamaica is better in some areas and Trinidad is better is some areas, and that's it. We are Caribbean people and need to support each other. He made good points and you (The lady) made good points. You were both fair.
Trini to the bone 🇹🇹 one love 🇯🇲
As a Trini, my biased view is I prefer doubles. I am not really impressed with patties but the patties I have enjoyed all come from the same source so my opinion is based on a limited sample.
Doubles taste way better than Pattie. I tried Pattie in the morning also. No, Trinidad is not friendlier and you’re right.
He did not explain what liming was properly. Liming is just hanging out doing nothing in particular, milling around with a drink in hand.
When Jamaicans go out, we are doing something, partying or just watching an event... Trinis are special, they "lime."
I would agree with him on the tribal behavior Abroad. We are All One that’s why If the Cricket is not Good we are all blaming each other ❤
I really like Yohan Partap. He is very great at video editing. I enjoy his takes. I don’t agree with his opinion on the food because I’ve been to Trinidad, spent 3 months there, and I didn’t like the food at all, not even did my family and Indian-Jamaican step family. We were starving until we bought ourselves a hot plate and started cooking in our hotel rooms. There was only one place that the food was delicious and it was a top scale Cantonese restaurant.
Mr Bias man, Jamaica loves everyone however, some Caribbean countries have been taught in schools that the rebellious slaves were sent to Jamaica. They were taught that they are better than Jamaicans. Living in reality has shown them otherwise so they have an internal resentment when Jamaica doesn't care they love everybody. So you know what happens when you hate for no reason, you only hurt yourself. I cant listen to him bec he is naturally bias Jamaica is the party central so idk what he is saying sighh.

On the part of 'lime', Dorraine had mentioned that Jamaicans are also outgoing. That should only be applied to entertainment/hospitality related activities, and not in comparison to Trinidad. However, since COVID, Jamaican's have not been out lately, but only for work in their new economic regime.
Jamaicans like to be more confined to their space, are more insecure, and the women enjoy being indoors a lot. And Jamaicans are not the best of well doers these days and are not welling to do much for their surroundings, hence the criticisms it often gets from Trinidad, and despite Jamaicans being the most friendly.

Also trinidad beaches is totally free access
@@lancejack8507 beaches what? Which beach? Hssst. Come to Jamaica, and u will c beaches. U will also c locals using free beaches. Our 7 mile beach in Negril is also free to all Jamaicans.
@@nicolov827😂😅you clearly Never seen TOBAGO 🇹🇹 """ 😅 we don't need to go to Jamaica! TOBAGO has blue waters and the beaches are free !!
@@eliling9841That makes no sense
I can’t see why we comparing the islands, so petty and childish, Jamaicans are confident our history and achievements speaks volumes, we don’t just rival a single country, we take on the entire world and don’t have to utter a word , we just make a statement, we just prove what we can do and what we about , been a Jamaican out in the world garner you a huge amount of respect, trust me , i don’t think been from any other country allows you the international respect you get when you are Jamaican, been a Jamaican kind a give you a free pass unless you as a individual mess up , we are the most fascinating people of the world, Jamaicans need to understand how chosen and blessed we are , that’s why most Jamaicas out in the diaspora love and appreciate Jamaica after they see the attention and respect you get been a yardie, 🇯🇲🇹🇹
The only Trinidadians who live on Liberty Ave Queens, are the Indian Trinidadians. Interesting, because that is where the Indian Guyanese also live. Black Trinis live in the same areas of Brooklyn, as the Jamaicans and Black Guyanese.
Interesting
Where is Leith Hall St Thomas? Where is near by?
I’m Trinidadian and been to Jamaica 6 times, on the Pattie & doubles, I’ll go 50, 50, I like them both, but then again I’m a foodie, I love a crispy tasty hot Pattie but I also love a very hot tasty doubles with slight pepper
He’s correct when it comes to a variety of food or dishes , I have to say Trinidad is verity verity verity
Malls for sure, I gave it to Trinidad, music big difference, soca has it’s place and reggae has it place, on development and infrastructure, I’ll give that to Trinidad but like he said, Jamaica has a lot of natural beauty
Sports, Jamaicans are more committed to their training, where as Trinidadian fete too much😂
Trinidad politics is its downfall since it is along racial lines as opposed to merit. When you have this there is constant mismanagement, discrimination, corruption and nepotism. The island has had its oil booms and nothing significant to show for it. One race giverns for all and one only for their likeness, one builds up the financial reserves and the other pocketing those funds. JA is a democracy too but not along racial lines with them essentially having a homogenous population; everybody on the same page in other words same as the other Caribbean islands with homogenous demographics.
I grow up and live in Jamaica almost all my life I'm living in Trinidad for the past 7 years is almost right with everything And people please remember it is opinion.🎉❤
There are no comparison between the two, jamaica wins hands-down. Jamaica it's country and people are renowned worldwide. As jamaican living overseas, I see you hear even white kinds speaking, dressing and taking on the persona and it's culture. Another proud Jamaican 🇯🇲
The Jamaican people are friendly, which is good for the tourism. We are not friendly as a result of tourism. Because no matter who you are, the average Jamaican will be welcoming to you. We just need to work on improving our conflict management.
Why you guys don't give God the praise and stop comparing countries life is to short ❤❤❤blessings to all
@carolannewalker2601 beautifully said. God should be praised.
We have to love each other
Totally so
Doubles is way better than patty 🇹🇹
You said don't take the Dreadly title seriously, still as a person you of so called Caribbean unity you put it on there. Interesting!
I didn't say "seriously". I used the word "literal". There's a difference.
Jamaican patties are awsome, but it will never ever ever everrr beat a doubles, no way no day
They.mall most.this and that we got the most church so .we got to be stronger so no where can compare us to them one love 💗😘😘
Jamaican show love to everyone Jamaica is the best of everything..every one wants a piece of Jamaica Jahmaica..Jah make Jamaica . simple Jamaica .. got The most church.in the world what More you want one Love 💕😘😘
Jah made Jamaica, so who made Trinidad and the other Caribbean Islands/ countries in the world SMH
@@annbarthhe means Jamaica is today spiritual isreal, God chosen people and he is right, God made Jamaica special for himself as it relates to the other nations they were created but other angels
No Deadly Rivalry:
Trinidad has/had OIL and 1/3 the population, problems and size..ooh yea, little to no hurricane repairs
other than that Jamaica just look naturally better, with more diversity of touristy stuff
basically one big brother and a smaller one.. and One Love
Can't deny the rivalry in the Caribbean; friendly for the people on the ground but it does get troublesome sometimes... I stand on that one love sentiment with you. Blessings
Good vlog, one love , on rivalry. Please pin the link to his channel .
Black folks always rival eachother n not going nowhere....
Jamaica and Trinidad and the Caribbean is one living. One Caribbean. Build the Federation. One Love. The thumb Nail is to Brash. VS each other better Similarity.
Jamaica don't need any federation,we are Jamaicans we need ourselves to unite and we will be ok
I'm not comparing either. both pull up when it comes to food, music and carnival. It's like coke and pepsi
What is this ? Jamaica & trinidad have no violent rivalry never very miss leading to the world we dont have fights with islands in the Caribbean it is one love one family one link
Why black people always riffing with each other's, is our sins against God.but one day Jesus will gather us back as one flock. 👏blessings to all African people in the Caribbean.
The double is not as good as the pattie bro..
Lady you are just looking attention why would you try too put trinidad with jamaica,take about your self go and worry about your life
DWLLL. And here you are giving me some attention. Guess the objective you gave me was achieved
Cant compare dem little baby country with champion country Jamaica. Lieve dem let them clean up them oil spill in tobago dirty beach😂😂😂 jamaica to the 🌎
Bro Trinidad is way more developed than Jamaica, " 22:24 FACTS "
@@albertmodeste681 I been to Trinidad and my girl is trini. Jamaica is more develope meaning better infrastructure.better houses
@@afrostarbrown217Better infrastructure, please elaborate on that😅😅😅😅 you're the first jamaican I ever heard say that, can you send a link. Or you're being typical jamaican and just making up stuff with no receipts 🙄
Jamaica queens was named after the native American Indians of the same name not the country Jamaica
@DatriniThug Sometimes you have to break their self importance 😂
Yes! I am from Trinidad 🇹🇹☺
THIS MAN WAS MORE EXPLAINING WESTERN JAMAICA.KINGSTON CITY NEVER SLEEPS .,PLUS ITS A CITY WITH TWO SECTIONS WITH HIGHRISE, SOMETHING THE AVERAGE CARIBBEAN DOESNT HAVE.
I enjoy 🎉❤ this
Am from Trini but I agree the Jamaican Pattie hit for me
Its about time that ancient isreal learn too unite. We are all from the lost tribes. Unity is the only way to overcome our colonization.
Nonsense! Jamaicans alone are the isrealites
Jamaica has no rivalry either anyone. We are in a class by ourselves. Stop giving life to this 💩! Trinidad wants to be seen. 🤷🏽♀️
We dont need to be seen . Yall need to be seen cause if yall wasnt seen yuh country woulda be broke !!!!!
We are already seen by OPEC. Do you know what level of the game that is?
@@lincolnclay7925 good for you and opec! Jamaica 🇯🇲 is in a class by itself. I said what I said.
@@lincolnclay7925Trinidad legalize same sex marriage so we know some of you will use your rectuum for certain sweets in life
@@madisonkaiJamaicans living in Trinidad: 15,000
If yall so special why yall keep moving East? How many Trinis living in yall country?
Yes! That’s because Jamaica 🇯🇲 has more Black people of African descent; Trinidad 🇹🇹 has more INDIAN! We no wake bout anyway how you can talk about Entertainment and Trinidad 🇹🇹 is more than Jamaica. Relaxation is the Norm. Too much hustle and bustle make you feel tired. Oh, Trinidad 🇹🇹 remind you of the USA? We don’t need that we need independence not being funneled into what (society) the west wants you to be. No COMPARISON end of Story!!
One Love potty we don’t have a CRICKET TEAM!!
We don't have more Indian than African in Trinidad the two groups is around the same 35%each 20% mix an 10 % other very diverse Island
@@eliling9841You're dealing with a j🇯🇲 troll, learn to see them by their poor education and incoherent writings.
I agree with the Trini about the aggressiveness over seas
I am jamaican and jamaicans can not party like Trinidadians, we like to go to parties to stand up and watch, trinis go to parties to dance and have fun, look at a stage show in Trinidad compares to jamaica same reggae artist btw, you cant debate partying and say lime ,just doing that you lost the debate. Trinidad is way more diverse so naturally they will have a larger variety of food. Malls are no longer the rave, as a matter of fact a lot of malls in are America closing down. Cant compare beef patty and doubles. Jamaica have better food overall, they put green seasoning on everything!
Aka NO POWDER SEASONING like our ancestors.
Aye I ain't going to compare pattie and doubles because that is up to preference. but you see green seasoning and variety of food and overall quality and taste Jamaica loss that argument also. You all forgeting that Tobago is part of TnT. Tobago creole food is the best. No Maggie seasoning with MSG to kill you slowly JA.
@stillirise7813 powder seasoning can be natural without additives. And the point was to diversify the flavors everything cannot and should not taste the same. And you guys do use powder seasoning. Isn't Curry powder seasoning?
@Benji_1 I agree, but that's a testament to the strength of our culture, black culture will always be dominant in jamaica. For trinis, the Syrians, the Indians, the Spanish all come in and over influence the culture. Few years from now Spanish will be required in Trinidad
@DevineOrr A few years from now unno will be eating Ackee and salt fish with chopsticks 🥢🥢🥢 and yes diversity is our strength 💪🏾 show me a 90% African place in this world that is winning. Send me a link.
Jamaicans com under more pressure from our Politian's and their security the police and soldiers, that have been destabilizing
Why people like to used Jamaica to get recognition for their country. Please, please Jamaica is not to be compare or compete with any country in the Caribbean. Jamaica is not worried about the the Caribbean countries, we are busy influencing the world.
You wouldn't think he would let down Trinidad he is from there. Jamaica is a rastaman country. The best
This was a very interesting video. I grew up in Trinidad during the '70s and '80s, and we were always aware of peer competitor Jamaica.
Yes, it is a long standing rivalry that is going no where.
@@DorraineReid Reid no rivalry there money better our food 🍱 music 🎵 and culture better than there’s we lead in sports and patty we and us are rivalry in track s not Trinidad
@@staminadon alright sir. I see you giving them no bly on this one...agree the US is rivalry for sports
what competition?? You guys are not on jamaica level!!..what has you guys contributed to the world??? you guys are unrecognizable if you go to any foriegn country and speak the people of that country will ask you if you're jamaican..name a trini that can stand in the shoes of Marcus Gravey or bob Marley and I'm not going to get into the many scholars of jamaica..go dance some calypso and chill😂😂
@@alphansoworth9775
Brother man, I'm not going to take the bait that you have so expertly set out before me. Instead, I'm just going to say that as a Caribbean person, especially one who has lived outside of the Caribbean for the last 35 years, we have more similarities than differences, and I thank you for your insightful comments.
