Isn't it amazing how people find opportunities in places where the locals think none exists, and this happens in different places on the planet.
Right! It is up to us to find the opportunities and go after them instead of complaining.
I think pretty much MOST people from the rest of the world KNOW this except in the USA 🇺🇸. Hence the relentless need to persuade folks to even consider relocating from one city to another even in the same state let alone continents, for a better opportunity or school, even for love 😜. But it’s changing. This is across the board (race, gender, education, income) - most Americans would rather stay put.
@@AuthenticAfrican absolutely!
It was because of your first video that my family and I stayed at Pearl this past November. And I would say that it was really nice. The property is across the street from Lumley beach. The beach has a very pulsing and vibrant nightlife on the weekends where the party goes on all night. And there are a number of restaurants and venues within walking distance. The staff was always friendly and helpful.
I am really happy to hear that. I will have to let Mars know for sure.
Shoutout to the Philippines and Filipinos! They are always friendly and welcoming of African peoples, whether it be in the Philippines, America, or in Africa - I have never had a negative experience with them - if only other folks who come to our Continent to do business learned to be like them in the way they treat people!
Yes sir. I agree.
Agreed, they're good people.
Hey bro you should tell your guests to speak Krio at the end of the interview so we can hear them speak it at least 😂 would be nice
Good idea. Will do moving forward. I have like 10 interviews that are coming out that are pre recorded so It will have to be further down the line.
Sierra Leone is a nice and beautiful country where someone can easily find opportunity to get a job in the country through government or private company but it's all depends on your contact with the people in the country.
I agree. 💯✊🏿🇸🇱
Enjoyed the show! Keep them coming. Thanks
Thank you. Will do.
Hey can you interview Krio borbor pls he just moved to S/L recently with his family
I have reached and looking to connect. I will be following up
wow very nice looking
Thank you! Cheers!
Bro I love your channel! I am living South America Colombia 🇨🇴 heading to Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 in October. I’m the Mende Tribe. Recently found from Africa Ancestor. Is they anyway I can contact you off of youtube? I want to get information about dual citizenship. I can pay for your information and time.
It's better to go first as a tourist and meet and make real friends. Then it will be easier for you. I'm a Sierra Leonean but living in Switzerland.
Congrats on tracing your lineage. Happy to chat off TH-cam. Shoot me an email at AuthenticAfricanLife@gmail.com.
Yes, I encourage people to visit for sure.
Well put. I agree.
@@AuthenticAfrican thanks so much for reaching back out to me. I will contact you to discuss more. I definitely ready to be there. I’m also a TH-camr but most of my content is from Colombia 🇨🇴, Mexico 🇲🇽, Dominican Republic 🇩🇴… I go by Passport Stamp.. but I love how your channel is set up. TTYS ✊🏾
I see - so Mars is the manager - but Pearl itself is owned by a Lebanese family?
Correct. I met the owner in December and she asked me to interview Mars.
Race hustlers 😂….
Kushe 👋electric⚡ fence all around....scary...😱 is it so dangerous city ? If compare to Caracas , for example ?
@12:05 Sierra Leone is ranked 5th safest in Africa(just behind Botswana) and is ranked safer than UK, USA, etc.. Barbed wires, electric fences, etc have become the norm all over Africa - regardless of the level of safety. It provides a FEELING of safety and thus everyone does it.
With that being said, petty theft - e.g. leaving a bicycle in the yard - might get stolen for sure just like in any other places - so the fences are to keep people off the property and prevent theft more so than to prevent any violent crime.
I honestly think they are UGLY and take away from any property.
All good points. Coming through with the educational notes as always. I appreciate it.
I think Koiva did a great job answering your questions. Let us know if you have any other questions.
@@Koiva232 thank you, yeah, leaving a bicycle in the yard is a very bad idea ... have lost three
@@AuthenticAfrican thank you, yes, Koiva did. Sure, any others to follow soon 😄
It's a shame to us sierra leoneans especially they diaspora.All we are interested on is about politics and sycophancy following politicians like God. We should be innovative like Ghanaians, Senegalese and Nigerians.Government will not plant rice for us to eat.what a lazy type of people we are .what a shame.
dont worry we will slowly change that narrative. Things will change.
There’s a huge Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 diaspora in the NYC/NJ area in the USA 🇺🇸 and they have mega churches. As a matter of fact, caught up with one of their annual convention Christian meeting held in Baltimore city, MD about a month ago. Most have little to no interest in ever going back to SL hence are preoccupied with chain (family) migration to overseas and no investment back home.
Please give us contact info.
All of it is in the description of the video.
why do you promote the businesses of people who are not black?
All businesses in Sierra Leone will be highlighted no matter who owns them. It's part of the Sierra leone story. That means that sometimes nonblack businesses will be highlighted because they are a part of Sierra leone.
@@AuthenticAfrican didn’t take long for race hustlers to show up 😮! Sir or ma’am, these businesses employees and vendors majority are black 😂😂😂. They have families to feed, educate, take to hospital as no welfare or established credit card system or shelters or food banks as fall back plans. Hustling is a real thing in Africa and I am happy that other people born outside Africa are coming to open businesses and or work.
