Nice family may almighty Allah bless you all ❤❤❤

Allahu akbar Allahu akbar Allahu akbar al hamdillah i mar shaa Allah may Allah swt continue blessed you an your family beloved

As a Gambia and Senegalese, I get what they are saying. They are young and there are not many jobs in Gambia especially for young people. However if you have a job or a regular stream of income, the standard of living is way better in Gambia. It would be interesting to hear the views of older expats from the diaspora, especially if they have got something. Since Gambia does not have social welfare, you have to work or live off daddy's allowance in order to get buy. No money, no food, unless relatives give you something. The same for many Gambians living in Gambia. The same is also true for most countries around the world. You need money to get by.

Oh my goodness, where have you been? I keep looking for post from you. 🎉🎉🎉

Muhammed is a super chunk! How adorable! Good to see your all enjoying and having some gmo food😂 not not on that but glad that all is well!❤

Dont know what your oldest son was saying at all. Not to be disrespectful, just sounded like mumbling. If you could put subtitles when the mic is not at their mouth that would be very helpful!

Seeing these young brothers, maan' I'm proud of them.

South Africa is going back to Apartheid all Africans should leave that cursed country except the South Africans themselves. They love their white people. Can you imagine most of African countries are decolonising as they’re being recolonised. all it took is 30 years. Mandela was never a Mugabe.

Yes! I am believing God Almighty that I will visit a few African nations and live in at least one of them before my time on Earth is up🙏🏾✝️🩸🩸🩸

i cant even play an online game. its terrible

😂

You need to mic them, or hand your mic to them when they answer. It's too hard to hear (them, not you).

Lifestyle and work issues is the only problem with Africa I grew up in USA have my own business if I go back it’s gonna be tough for me it’s also depends what part of Africa you from where I’m from I have no chance.

It's not the most ideal setting to ask probing questions of someone who may be inhibited, due to the possibility of offending the interviewer, who is a parent or close family adult friend. The consensus is resources and options are limited, cultural difference is a barrier to establishing strong social connections. They see the economic advantage to being in Gambia if you have a consistent stream or nest of US dollars. Public safety related to crime is the last positive they acknowledge. It would be best to expose your children to the benefits of a Gambia and guide them in a plan to return to the US to aquire a marketable skill or trade and seed seed a life outside the US that down the line could afford you the option of permanent residence in a Gambia.

This is the problem with youth who are not integrated into Gambian culture as well as being hostage to some fabled black culture. These kids are busily wasting their time & I gurantee you they will be enticed to the criminal elements of the Gambia. To make it Gambia, yes you do require Money but you also require parternal supervision from your father who can guide you and help lead you out of that small province of a country we call Gambia. If your father isn't wise or absent, you will suffer. These kids seem to be in the throes of their youthful hubris. Gambia is indeed a poor country, perpetually incompetent & extremely limited in terms of infrastructure. That said, this is where you have to outwork and outhustle everybody. In a deregulated place you have to employ all your improvasational skills but that's impossible if you waste the kids energy stuck in a school, an outdated school that has little purchase in todays time.

Mother Land ❤

I understand exactly what they are saying, it not easy for them to just stay in the Gambia without something going on for them like job or business etc, that’s why they said they are going back for some fewer years make some money invest it in the Gambia then after they will come and settle down for good, the economical structure is poor over there compared to the US, UK or the EU, so that is the only reason they are going back to make some money cause they are still young guys, hope y’all understand this explanation.

Such a beautiful son, God bless him

Allah bless your family ❤️

Those young men look like they're just waiting to turn 18 so they can go back to the U.S. It's great they have each other. And it's interesting how the Gambian young man who lived in the U.S. 16 years ended up relating more to the Diaspora guys than to Gambians. For those of us from the African/Black Diaspora, it's not a question of either/or, but both. If you have a US, UK, CA passport etc, you should use it for education, business, medical care, investments, etc. We shouldn't try to pigeonhole Diasporans to one place because we can be found across the African continent, in Europe, and across the Americas. As Nkrumah said, "I am not African because I was born in Africa, but because Africa was born in me. Make Africa central, but if you have that pa$$port, use it to your advantage. And these young men know that.

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 I risk my life to reach Europe but trust me one day I'll settle down InsAllah. Poverty is crime since year 2000 starts The Gambia lacks understanding due to abject poverty but with the rightful leader we shall overcome poverty n ignorance 😊

Agree 100%. Stayed in Nigeria and felt like that . Although you Black and from diaspora they don’t look at you as the same . But keep you around to get what they can get . US/UK is more authentic/genuine.

Why didn't u go to Senegal instead?

❤❤❤🇬🇲

I would like to see a group of inner city black kids from the hoods of Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, etc... to go to Africa for a month, and see how they would like it.

Love it thank you Wonderful

These are some intelligent young men. I am very proud of them! 😊

If you are a Muslim or Christian, which kind of business will let you stay in America?
