Air Jamaica was a waterhole for the bigneck thieves in Jamaica. Their loyalty was not country, but for themselves. Let the ghost of the airline rest where it lies. 😢

Happy Independence Day. I have learned a lot from this video; thank you for sharing. I must say that Jamaicans make some amazing ox-tail and Jamaican-beef patties, yum yum.
JAMAICA LAND WE LOVE. Very informative and helpful information. Great job , I really wish more Jamaican would embrace and acknowledge how bless we are as a nation HAPPY INDEPENDENCE. ONE LOVE ❤😊
Wow! Jamaica gained Independence on the day that I was born! I've never been to Jamaica but it's on my bucket list. I often hear about how warm and friendly Jamaican's are. You're true testament to that statement, Odetta. I love watching your videos. You're a classy and beautiful woman with a good sense of humour and with a very pleasant style of teaching. I'm always excited to watch your content. 🤩🌞 💖
Wow! With a coincidence like that you should visit for sure. How kind of you and yes Jamaicans are really warm people for the most part. I appreciate you watching my videos and glad you enjoy them. Thanks Jan.
Some more firsts to note....the word factory was first first used in jamaica....the term guerilla warfare was coined in jamaica in reference to the fighting style of the marroon fighters....chocolate milk was invented in jamaica....the first electric light in the caribbean was lit in black river jamaica....the first public use water supply system in the caribbean was implemented in falmouth jamaica...the first golf course in the western hemisphere was commissioned in the town of mandeville and still in existence....
Wasn't Haiti the first Caribbean Country to gain independence in 1804? Jamaica came along over 150 years later. Happy independence Jamaica 🇯🇲. May the Eternal Father continue to bless Jamaica land we love ❤️.
Let me add, first black and non American in Jody Ann Maxwell to win the Scripps Howard spelling bee championship. First Caribbean and black man to complete the Alaskan Iditarod race. Yep, we punch way above our size as a nation internationally.
Here are some historical facts that I thought might be helpful: Jamaica had wars attempting to gain freedom from from slavery (1728-1740) and later (1795-1796). In 1807 slavery was abolished then in 1838, the emancipation act was established to declare the freedom of slaves. In 1962 Jamaica gained Independence from Britain but remained under the Commonwealth based on the terms of the agreement. The Jamaican government now has plans for Jamaica to become a Republic in the future and when an agreement is signed into law at that point Jamaica’s status will change to Republic.
@@OdettaUNEDITEDget yourself educated and don't talk nonsense jamaican ancestors are the isrealites captured by AFRICAns brought to Africa and sold to jamaica,that's why jamaican ancestors ended up in Jamaica in the first place
Haiti was the first country to gain independence in the Caribbean 1804/ Jamaica independence 1962. I am a born 🇯🇲 ❤❤❤❤Jamaica but facts. Love ❤️ Jamaica 🇯🇲
Nice Story, thank you Odetta, I am very happy to hear that. Jamaica has a historical relationship with Ethiopia. You know in Ethiopia there is a specific place called 'Shashemene' where many Jamaicans live. There are many followers of Ras Tafarian in Ethiopia. ❤🎉
We did not pay for independence we fought for it and I do mean we fought for it over 200 years my maroon family fought for it and got it for all of Jamaica. They were sick of us Trelawny was the last place to fight and got it for us And I wish they would teach history on what we did because every fatigue uniform up until this day was created because of us
Thanks for the great video. I believe that some of the “firsts” should have referred to the English speaking Caribbean. Cuba first to participate in the World Cup and first TV station while Haiti is first independent nation. I am not a historian so, don’t hate if I have gotten it wrong.
@karriemsharief 🤩 Why you jealous people always trespassing on Jamaica’s page? 💥💖🔥…Call 6 medals embarrassing - Jamaica normally over performed at the Olympics but only haters would call 6 medals embarrassing. Jamaica still shines …when did you get a Gold medal and broke a record 💥❤️🔥❤️💥
The first Caribbean country to gain independence was Haiti, which achieved its independence from France on January 1, 1804, but, Is the first English speaking country to gain Independence is Jamaica. It's important to make that distinction.
Thank you my dear. This one is over 8 years old. Let’s make a deal. If you are ever in Jamaica I will take you to Cinderella hats downtown Kingston to get one 😀.
@@OdettaUNEDITED Nice. Thank you so much. I am happy you responded back because I wasn't sure if you read all those comments . Let hope before December. Stay blessed 🙌
Thanks for not saying we have the best of this and that . But one of THE best . Nothing makes other islands hate more when we say we the THE best anything. One of the best is more accurate.

Lots of valuable information, but there’s a correction to be made. Haiti qualified for the FIFA World Cup in 1974 in Germany, and that was a big achievement then, because only 16 teams would qualify for the finals then. Good job tho 👍

Belinda the lady said first English speaking Caribbean country to gain independence (so stop eating off her head). Yes , Haiti gained independence first as a French speaking Caribbean country and first Caribbean country overall. Do you understand now, Belinda?
I love Jamaica ( visit through the eyes of JamRock cruise every year) & Jamaicans ( our small nonprofit organization sponsors Parry Town Basic School ) however, I sincerely believe the ALL INCLUSIVE Tourism Concept is extremely flawed. I stand to be educated/enlightened or corrected as the service industry outside of the Tourism sectors doesn’t impact the larger community. Creates employment but ALL INCLUSIVE means the Dollars don’t reach the general population. I think that is a problem.
Haiti Is The first Island in Caribbean Win There Independents 1804 Haiti is First Island who Ever Go To The World Cups Jamaica Independents was In 1962
I miss air Jamaica 🇯🇲 omg bring it back
Air Jamaica was a waterhole for the bigneck thieves in Jamaica. Their loyalty was not country, but for themselves. Let the ghost of the airline rest where it lies. 😢
Bring it back? Are the airports, the coffee, the airline, the beaches etc still owned by Jamaica?
This is the Land of my birth sweet jamaica
Wow 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 really nice. I just wish our people would act like our accomplishments instead of all the senseless killing.

We are the first English Speaking country of the West Indies, Haiti is not apart of that grouping.

Yes, Haiti was the first.

We are the first in alot yet we remain the last in many.
Like what? If you don't have anything good to say..sheeee...say nothing
What is the cost of a weekend break in a place like that for a working Jamaican?
What about SKA , ROCK STEADY and MENTO music, TOOTS HIBERT , PETER TOSH BOB ANDY etc
Thanks for not saying we have the best of this and that . But one of THE best . Nothing makes other islands hate more when we say we the THE best anything. One of the best is more accurate.

Haiti 🇭🇹 qualified for world cup before Jamaica 🇯🇲 🎉
Jamaica is the First English speaking Caribbean nation to qualify for the Fifa World Cup at the senior level.
Cuba 🇨🇺 19....and Haiti 🇭🇹 1970s played in the senior world cup before 1998.
Also after 1998 Merlene Ottey had the record as fastest women alive in the 100m and 200m for some time.
Veonica Campbell Brown only participated in the sprint relay in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
Alison Felix is the youngest 200 meters world champion
What about the amount of times Jamaica has won the beauty contest
Opps forgot that one. Thanks for sharing.
Lots of valuable information, but there’s a correction to be made.
Haiti qualified for the FIFA World Cup in 1974 in Germany, and that was a big achievement then, because only 16 teams would qualify for the finals then.
Good job tho 👍
You forgot best water source in the world.
Very good point. Thanks for that.
It’s was a Jamaican boca T who came to Haiti 🇭🇹 and lead Haiti 🇭🇹 to its independence 😅we have a big part to do with it
Really?
First English speaking Caribbean country to gain independence
Don’t forget the most bad roads, Lucea to Negril , green island via salt springs bomb bottom logwood to Sheffield pure bad road .
There is a time for everything.
What about the golf course in Mandeville
I forgot about that. Thanks. Next time.

Haiti is the first Caribbean country to gain independence.
Haiti was influenced by the Jamaican Maroons. Besides, this video is about Jamaica.
Jamaica have so many similarities with Ethiopia!
Yes we are talking about Jamaica, is there independence
Listen!! She said "ENGLISH SPEAKING" Haiti speaks FRENCH!!
Jamaica was the first Caribbean country to gain independent from Britain.
First English speaking Caribbean island to gain independence was Ja.
Beautiful girl
How kind of you. Thanks
Yes... correction Haiti is the first country to gain independent.
She is correct. First English speaking Caribbean Island to get independence. Haiti is not an English speaking country.
Hati is French
Haiti played in the 1974 World Cup.
She said, if you hate Jamaica don’t listen. So don’t listen
independence really. when how. and everything has been rolled back
Hello no no no! Haiti is the first in 1974 an Jamaica second in 1998 and then T&T in 2002
People we talking about jamaica,why they keep mention other carribbean island,it about jamaica,its about jamaica not haiti.we are the best
Belinda the lady said first English speaking Caribbean country to gain independence (so stop eating off her head). Yes , Haiti gained independence first as a French speaking Caribbean country and first Caribbean country overall. Do you understand now, Belinda?
Jamaica has a fancy accent. We imitate other accents only to allow others to understand us better.
Good point

Haiti Is The first Island in Caribbean Win There Independents 1804 Haiti is First Island who Ever Go To The World Cups Jamaica Independents was In 1962
Think she meant from the British abd English speaking
