You should be very proud of your grandfather for owning this land and passing it down to his descendants. For those who are not familiar with Gambian heritage and land, I could tell by the sheer size that this is an ancestral home that has been in her family for generations - that was being she even mention her grandfather. This size of land do not or rarely exist any more in the Gambia unless you come from one of the old land owning families. The land on its own, without any building on it would now cost millions of Gambian Dalasis (at least hundreds of thousands of £s or $s). You should be very proud of your granddad for acquring this huge land when he did and passing it on to his descendants. I can see that the family is also taking care of it and building new projects to increase value and pass it on to the next generation. Although I have bought numerous homes in Gambia from my own hardwork, the lands and properties I have inherited that has been in my family for generations hold a special place in my heart - and I treat them differently to the ones I've actually bought in recent years with my own hard earned cash. It is quite difficult to explain but maybe somebody else feels the same. I'm always super proud of my ancestors that have acquired a land (despite their struggles - especially at that time), build it, and pass it to their descendants. I'm sure you too are super proud of your granddad. These kinds of African stories always warms my hearth. Preserve the memories and look after it for the next generation.
Hey fam! Wow, thank you so much for your comment. And I agree with the things you mentioned, Thank God my granddad bought this land and passed it on because just like you said - land this size it not even for sale in the urban areas anymore. Often times it is land that people inherit from previous generations. Unless it's a place where no one has settled yet. It's more like people taking a huge plot of land they own and dividing it into smaller ones and then sell it off.
I am glad you have a special love and care for the land that you have inherit from your family members, I think that is the right attitude.
Owning a piece of land in the motherland is more important than some may think in my opinion.
Gems are valued because of their rareness and their beauty. ThIs sister is a true gem. Thanks for just being who you are.
Oh wow !! Such beautiful words fam ⭐️😭😭 I appreciate it so much.
And yes - being yourself is what makes you unique👏🏿👏🏿
Just the African way of life, love from Somalia 🇸🇴, by the way I never met a Muslim Gambian so, great to see you my dear
Exactly, most of us are muslims 😝😝
Beautiful compound. This is definitely a generation wealth passed on from generation to generation. Salute to the elders. 🙏🏾
Yes indeed fam! It is exactly what it is - And I never appreciated it like that before... now I truly do😍🇬🇲
@@africandiaries Sis I hope you buy your own land and slowly build for your future kids... kids and continue the tradition. P.s. I hope God allows me to do this for my kids. Take care sis. 🙏🏾
Thanks Sister Marie for letting us into your home in the Gambia, it's a lovely set-up and family-oriented. I love it.
Thank you for following ! 😁😁
I appreciate your comment - much love fam 💯⭐️
My husband is of Lebanese descent born and raised in The Gambia. He has a beautiful house same s in the video and has different fruit trees all around ! It is so beautiful!! He is currently renting the house because we live in the United States. We plan to retire there Inshallah!!

Gambia is a beautiful culturally rich country. The true value of a country is it's people and the Gambian people are warm, intelligent and welcoming.
That means a lot to me, and I am sure every Gambian would love your comment! Thank you so much for taking you time to write this about Gambian people😌🇬🇲

Salam Sis! Thank you for sharing your family house with us. I can see you are happy to be home. Will you still be there for Eid? Also, thank you for showing us how Gambians live in The Gambia. That’s what I’ve been wanting to see.
Wa aleykum salam sis! 💛
It's my pleasure - thank you for watching! i'm glad I was able to provide something you've been waiting to see😄
Yes - we'll be here for the Eid in shaa Allah.
Let me know what else you'd like to see sis
@@africandiaries It’s beautiful you will experience Eid at home. Inshallah. I planned to be in Gambia for Eid but am unable to. Allah knows best. I find I am fixed on having an outdoor kitchen. That is something I love about Gambian homes. When I come to Gambia cooking outdoors is one of the main experiences I want. 💚
Peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you. I am the first time to see you. I will constantly follow your videos .. I hope to visit the beautiful Gambia .. I follow you from Sweden .. Greetings to you. My name is Abdulrahman.
Wa aleykum salam wa rahmatolah wa barakatohou !

Hey fam, really is it similar to Somalia? I can imagine lol, and I can also imagine it's different at the same time 😄😄
Great overview. The arrangement preserves the culture e.g., communalism. More Please!
Thank you so much! Glad you're interested in more lol😄😄
You are in fact doing a very great blessed job. Keep up dear

“Allah Almighty says: Whoever comes with a good deed will have the reward of ten like it and even more. Whoever comes with an evil deed will be recompensed for one evil deed like it or he will be forgiven. Whoever draws close to Me by the length of a hand, I will draw close to him by the length of an arm. Whoever draws close to Me the by length of an arm, I will draw close to him by the length of a fathom. Whoever comes to Me walking, I will come to him running. Whoever meets Me with enough sins to fill the earth, not associating any partners with Me, I will meet him with as much forgiveness.”
