I hope that he gets a job with his amazing art. He could give night classes in what he does. What a treat he would be for artists. He could also set up a TH-cam channel, like you to give instructions. He needs to get in touch with other Belfast artists. I hope that he gets a chance to share his art. Thank you for sharing Nadim with us.
He seems very talented probably speaks several languages and look at his art work ,he should be teaching..You can also see he wants to blend in by the way he dresses..Hope someone gives him the chance to find his way..
@@Valhalla-or8mx Don't worry - the government will give him everything he needs, including a free A-rated house, free medical card and €80,000 to set up a shop where he can sell his vitally important trinkets.
You have a knack of spotting the most interesting people. These videos are heartwarming. I really hope this channel blows up for you, my friend. 👍 Good luck, new subscriber.
@@modelstrangersWow, that’s awesome, brother. I have never had an Instagram account but my kids are always telling me I need one. 😆 I might just look into it now, thanks.
So here I am just before dusk on Christmas Eve, binge watching your videos, waiting for my family get-together to begin. I can't tell you which of the videos I watched is my favorite. I just love them all! Your approach to people is very sensitive. The stories of each of the people are very moving. The photos are always great. I like to say about you what Jack Kerouac said about the Swiss American photographer Robert Frank:"To Robert Frank I now give this message: You got eyes." Merry Christmas from a small town near Munich, Germany!
Judging from the pictures he showed he's not a muslim. Very dangerous to be anything else than muslim in Syria nowadays. I can understand he fled. Before the war Syrian people were 3rd most happy people in the world. Every now and then they do such an enquiry all over the world.
@@thankersan Before the war about 10% and yes they had a good life back then, when it was peace. It dropped to about 3% now. In Iraq Christian population is almost extinct. This wasn't the case before. So yes I think you can say it's dangerous when you don't want to live there anymore or get killed.
I love you work. You have a good eye for humanity. Your approach all of your subjects are great sensitivity and treat all of them great dignity. So a few questions firstly, what proportion of the people you approach tell you to leave them alone? Secondly, what proportion of the people that speak to you reveal things about themselves that you cannot publish, and finally how many minutes or hours do you film and photograph a person to distil it down to the few minutes that we are privileged to view?
He seems like a lovely person I hope he can find work that he can enjoy but realistically I don’t think he will be able to achieve his goals over here at his age.
That's right, Joe. Don't let what the man said get in the way of your existing prejudices. He clearly spoke about getting a job, then a car and ultimately a house.
@@Gwilym.Kernow According to Gricean pragmatic theory, that is the most effective way to operate unless you have existing evidence to suggest that what they are saying is untrue. So, if for example, you post under the name Gwilym Kernow, I have no reason to doubt that is your name, and I am also likely to believe you if you say your are X years old. If by contrast, you go around claiming to be Tommy Robinson, when it is an open secret that your name is Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon, why should I believe a word you say?

Despite all his challenges he remains charming and graceful. That is a form of success in itself. Kudos to him!
you nailed it! Kudos to you!
Hard to not want the best for him.

Yeah i met him at belfast mela, he wrote my name in arabic at a stand and played drums, seems like a great guy!

@@Gwilym.Kernow He deserves every penny ,.Are you on benefits yourself ?
And that condemns us all to losing our country and national identity!
What a lovely man, full of character, well travelled, I would imagine, with lots of stories to tell.
Amazing artist, beautiful soul ❤

Thanks Jimmy. Grew to 1 million in a year over on instagram. Working on building this account now.

Great mix of random people sharing little snippets of their lives. Uplifting for them and us so "Thank-you" to them for sharing and you too, Chris ❤
Thank you for your appreciation!
You bring out the best in people, Chris. Wonderful.

Touching story.
Awww, sweet guy!
A lovely guy

how is it dangerous to not be a muslim in syria? there is a very large christian population here and they're as well off as all other citizens

Great , well written, questions I'd love to know the answers to as well. Lovely video
Do some people refuse you sometimes?
8/10 say yes
@@modelstrangers Nice, quite surprising!
💝
Yeah I like him. God bless him 🙏
He seems like a lovely person I hope he can find work that he can enjoy but realistically I don’t think he will be able to achieve his goals over here at his age.
@evermoreart yeah and sadly the stupidest man on the planet God help us from the orange prick
He is awesome
sorry about the appalling english in the message below, i have a broken arm and dictated my message with the sorry results you can see,
Nice he has the desire to work but at 66 very doubtful he will find a decent paying job - but he's done well to pick up enough English to get by.
Poor guy - what in the world brought him to NI? Probably has no idea where he's landed. I'd get the net boat out if I was him.
still wants a house for nothing just here a year Should go to Derry and see the lord mare that Mary Lou paper put in

@@neilmcbeath954
Do you always believe what people say about themselves. ?

He's here for the freebies like the rest of them.

@@Gwilym.Kernow That is a racist assumption on your part. It would appear to be disproved by the interview.
Watched Bald and Bankrupt in Syria ...he had a lovely time so don't know what they're running from..
Obviously for a rich white tourist who only went to the main parts of the capital city
Bald doesn’t have to try to earn a living there does he?
It's usually called a civil war.
It's usually called US intervention
IDK. Bombs?
None of his 'benefits' will be taken away this winter.😠
What?

@@sicksquid3258Have you ever been to any of these hotels?
@@Cm1st Yeah,they're awfully nice,next question.
Yeah this guy is responsible for all your problems. Blame the asylum seekers it's much easier than looking at your own failures right?@@sicksquid3258

What would you prefer to see? Orange Lodge; Paddy's Pub; Bacon and Cabbage Takeaway; Reformed Fundamentalist Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster?
He doesn’t mention his girlfriend in the Phillips es was prob only 15 yrs old
