- There are 25 SECRET FLAGS in Jamaica in use today, yet people know only one. To celebrate the Independence Day we shall look at the National Flag of Jamaica and all the other flags that are currently in use in Jamaica. The colours of the National Flag of Jamaica have a strong link to Africa, but there is much more to discuss when it comes to the origins and history of the National Flag of Jamaica.

Here comes Jamaica Independence Day Special Episode! The topic of flags is often viewed as something boring, but trust me - it is not, at least not when it comes to the origins of Jamaican flags! 🇯🇲 I hope you enjoy this investigative video, while I'm preparing the episode on the "Local Media vs Jamaica" for next weekend! Thank you for all the support!
Well done. All social studies teachers should show this video to their students. Excellently done, well researched too. Thank you very much.
Very well done Irina! You always exceed my expectations!
People from commonwealth nations when they live in the uk as residents before they become citizens can register on the electoral poll and this give them the right to vote in the uk in some elections. Being apart of the electoral poll can help to build credit as well
The flag of Jamaica is unique, compared to the other flags in the world. This is the only flag in the world that doesn't feature red, white or blue.
@JAMAICA WITH IRIE - Damn...Irina...You have done it again. Another great video. I am thinking of starting a petition on your behalf to the Jamaican government of bestowing on you an "Honorary ORDER of JAMAICA" Title on you. Come on my fellow subscribers lets ALL make this happen. Big Irina and One Love.
Im a born Jamaican, this channel has taught me more abt Jamaica than actual school..by someone who btw is not a born Jamaican..how ironic.
Becuase when black people was explaining it u, u didn't want to listen
You were brainwashed 8believe im others other than your own.

I love my Jamaican people 😂. Always crack me up. I knew the history of the flag but I can’t remember how I learn. When I was young there was some effort to educate us on Jamaican history. In one instance we wrote letters to thank the government for special extra books like those on Anancy stories. Also some teachers ignored what was mandated and gave us extra information on our history. Most of my information on Jamaica was from teachers against the grain, my family especially grandparents and tv specials. Jamaica definitely needs to do better. As for the flag I growing up it was gold for the sun, green for the land and black for the people 🙂. Nowadays you have to say hardship for black but it was the black people struggling so I just ignore that😅. I wonder if our flag is still in the African congress. Not sure if it is the anc. At one point we were the only non African flag but I lost the history. I was not aware of the other flags. The crocodile flag is familiar but I never consider it official.
As a Englishman, I just learned something about my flag that the UK education system failed to teach us. Thank you.
Blessings Jamaica is one of the most beautiful countries in the entire Caribbean islands 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❤❤❤❤❤
In the world!!
You are teaching us Jamaicans things that they didn't teach us in school, thanks..
czcams.com/video/8uSbNlUEcsI/video.html Irina getting beat and exposed
She didn't learn it in school either . She studied or did her research . Why haven't you .
Jamaica need to put this lady in a education position in our island , our young people need to learn these things. Big up sister.
If you can get those shitheads to put down the phone and learn something about their Homeland.
No.Why?
Why would you want a white person teaching your black child
@@selasedu the skin color shouldn't matter, only the message should.
Wow !! Excellent information. Thank you.
I'm Jamaican yet you still inlighten me. Thank you 🙌
As a child of British Jamaicans, I am compelled to commend you, Irina. Without your researches and channel, I certainly would not know a thing about Jamaica's history. Thank you Irina, for your continued and invaluable research/information. Again, many thanks. UK.
That’s actually very sad.
@@expatlifestyle6069 so true. Sad and embarrassing, especially when there's access from the www.
@@expatlifestyle6069 Why do you find my comment sad?
@@trishnewman910 Sad and embarrassing for who... YOU PERHAPS! How dare you set yourself up as judge over my comment! Do not judge anyone, when you have absolutely no knowledge, of a circumstances! For some of us, a lack of knowledge about much of Jamaica is a common fact. You have absolutely no right, to judge. I am sure, you are no encyclopedia when it comes to Jamaican history. The only sad and embarrassing thing on here is you for being high and mighty, self-righteous and judgemental! You ought to be ashame of yourself for being a total schmuck!
I guess I was lucky then when I got a university research assignment to research my Jamaican ancestry. I discovered the nanny of the maroons was my grandmother's third grandma. I could not stop crying.
Proud student of The University of Irina. Thank you, stay blessed!
🇯🇲 One of the world's most recognizable & unique flags, repping Jamaica's beauty & strength of it's people...
It's not an accident we are a force in world cuture...
We will not march to the drumbeat just to get along but because it makes sense.
Thanx much 🌹Irene; another banger.
JAMAICA WITH IRIE INTRODUCES WAR TO JAMAICA czcams.com/video/HwFo3MlTbLs/video.html
No one know Jamaica until dem born or go dere
I said already, and I will say again. Jamaica flag is the prettiest; best flag in the world!
Mi shame😔. I can’t believe as a Jamaican I’m just learning this much about the flag. Thank you Irina.
Thanks Irene. I can't imagine Jamaica having any other flag. It's so beautiful and unique. It's us.
Thank you Irina we as Jamaican support and appreciate your journalism and love for Jamaica.
love the idea of looking into the commonwealth meaning/roots.
Very interesting, I'm sharing.
Of course another excellent video from Irina. Good on Jamaica for not having any Colonial colours in their national flag 🇯🇲
…I always thought the Scotland flag 🏴 and the Jamaican flag 🇯🇲 had similar shapes. Great video !!
Blessings to you sista Irina🇯🇲❤💛💚
Great Research on the flags of Jamaica. Back in the late '80s, I was a member of the Third Battalion Jamaica regiment hence, I recognized all three flags of the Jamaica regiments. The blue with the croc 1 JR the red 2 JR and the green 3 JR.
I always feel like am in a classroom when am watching Irine's videos. The question that was asked on how does Jamaica benefits from being a member of the British Commonwealth?....absolutely none, the British government don't even like us...we need visas to go there even after we helped them fought the Germans in WWII, and help them build back their country. That's y we want Jamaica to become a Republic and get rid of the Queen as our head of state once and for all.
I have subscribed to your channel not just because you're real but because you're Jamaican at heart
I'm Jamaican and you educate me, thanks ❤❤💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏
As a Jamaican in the Diaspora, I am very much educated by some of the topics you cover about Jamaica.
I must honestly say, I never knew any of this. Thank you so much. Who di backside gave 3 thumbs down. eidiat dem.Bless up
From the Ukraine to Jamaica and diving into our history😎 I hope this video is shown in the local schools⏰🌅😷 thanks☺
czcams.com/video/8uSbNlUEcsI/video.html Irina getting beat and exposed
Listening to you is so refreshing.
Brilliant 👏 thanks for your historical research on the flags of Jamaica 🇯🇲 this should be adapted and integrated into history curriculum across Jamaican school districts.
Wow, what an interesting and informative post.
Wow, I had no idea about all these flags. I only knew about our national flag and the Lion of Judah flag. I learnt so much. Amazing video!
Sadly, many of us weren't taught much about what happened prior to 1962 with the except of Slavery. We have to search long and hard to see the changes of the flags at midnight that year. Many of us were not aware also that, prior to that same year, we all were British Citizens and, travel on British Passports. The British Pound was also our local currency and, was changed in the year of September of 1969.
Well done 👏 ✔ 👍 👌
With these compelling pieces you have been compiling on Jamaica, in the near future you'll be able to Publish Your 1st bestseller: "The Times, History and Culture of Jamaica"; and you don't even have to send me a royalty check 😍😂🙏
Very interested in JA and the Commonwealth .
Irene, this was a great presentation. Thanks.
Thanks again for another most informative video, I am a Jamaican and I didn’t know these things, thanks 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Another wonderful presentation thanks. James J in Limerick city Ireland
Wow! what a great video, please tell us more about "The Lion of Judah" flag.
You're teaching me about the history of my own country. This must've taken a lot of research. Great job!
As usual very well researched. It occurred to me that you use a wide range of international topics and relate it to our small but great nation. Well done! Looking forward to a researched assessment of how and why Jamaica punches above its weight in the music and athletics realm.
It the genes of nanny because this woman was a kick ass and every Jamaican carries her gene. I did a research paper for my university class here in Canada and I found out that nanny was my grandmother's third grandma because my grandma was born 1898 and she lived to a hundred and five. I could not stop crying because I now know where my resilience comes from to survive ten years of blindness. Still I got up and went back to university to get two masters degrees. Only a Jamaican. I have been away since I was five years old but I still carry the kick ass resilience no matter where I go.
Thanks for the information 👍🏿 🇯🇲
Loves... from India,Kerala, Cochin ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
🇯🇲🇯🇲💫thanks Irie
Thanks Irena for another history lesson about my Island. My daughter and son have another great video to watch. To go as far as doing deep research shows how much you appreciated our country. You revealing all these useful information to world is highly gracious to show how unique our culture are.

Thanks Irie Jamaica, I do hope I get the opportunity to meet you someday soon. I've learnt a lot in the short time since I found you on this vlog. Nuff luv sista.
Loving the history lessons. Learn more about Jamaica from Irina than any educational institution. Great work.👏🏿
Really enjoyed. thanks for the great content.
Why do i love you. No its not because i am a Jamaican🇯🇲🇯🇲💯
Thank you very much for this enlightening tour of flags throughout Jamaica. Perhaps one day you might cover the feeder schools for some members of the armed forces & constabulary. Aside from the cadet forces in the boys' schools, Jamaica has a quasi-military high school Prospect College in St. Mary. Founded in 1956 by Sir Harold Mitchell. He was schooled in England at Eton College, Oxford University, & Royal Military College Sandhurst.
Your work is always educational thank you.
Massive Jamaican History Lesson - Should play in local schools as a teachable history moment!!
Always a great source of information! Thank you.
Thank you for your information..very interesting segment.
This channel should be at lease a 100,000
thank you miss irie. thank you for choosing my Jamaica
Another EXCELLENT Documentary. I will admit, I did NOT know there were so many "Official" Government related Flags in Jamaica. I also loved that you mentioned the Lion of Judah (Rastafari) Flag, because it is such a prominent part of the Jamaican Culture.
Trevor Steer... I wouldn't call the (flag, ie, Lion of Judah) Jamaican tradition, for that would include all Jamaicans... Don't you think? That flag is associated to rastafarianism and nothing else, according to history as far as I have seen. Maybe you have additional information to share?
@@patriciabarnes7034 , I didn't say "Tradition", I said "Culture". But you do have a point in that it does NOT apply to ALL Jamaicans. However, a lot of NON Rastafarians in Jamaica "embrace" it...at least, that's my personal experience growing up and travelling back to Jamaica...i.e., you see the Symbol or Flag all over the place.
And so, TO ME, their Flag is just as much a part of the Jamaican "Culture", as Rastafari itself; or do you not think Rastafari is part of the Jamaican Culture?
P.S.: I am not a Rastafari, but I have Facemask, Caps and T-Shirts with the Lion of Judah Symbol.
Thanks Irina, Its like I am back in school again learning things I never knew.
You live and you learn. Great post.👍🏽
These videos need a crowd. Definitely needs to be seen nationwide and for Jamaicans all over. Wow. Irina you are amazing!
Very informative and enjoyable post
Thanks for sharing Irena. Another wonderful vlog. Nuff blessings 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Very thorough video. Thank you. New suscriber from Spain here.
Thank you and welcome to the family! :) More videos are coming up soon!
This presentation is exceptionally educational!
Thank you Irie great video🎯🎯
now i know that you are the smartest woman in the world.
i was just about to drop my comment, cussing about how dare you to dis' RastafarI by not mentioning the lion of Judah flag, and there you go, saving one of our most important flag for last and even stating that you could not do a video about flags of Jamaica and not mentioned THE LION OF JUDAH!
And for that, I thank you, and a job well done!
Thank you! I will talk more about it in the Rastafari documentary 💚💛❤️
Thank you so much Irena! You took me back to school with such depth of history, I am so proud to learn more of my country. It is noteworthy that content like this needs to reach as many Jamaicans worldwide to serve as a source of knowledge and give a sense of great pride. I am so overjoyed and yes I plan on supporting your channel because you are probably one of the very few who will put in the work and present your findings in an easy way for us to absorb. Thanks you so much and as always One Love My Sister! 🇯🇲🙏🏿👍🏿👏🏿
Thank you so much for all the support! Much appreciated! Glad you like the videos 🤗
Blessed up Irie! Love watching blogs your topics and delivery is excellence. Thanks for sharing 👍 👌 ONE ❤ 🇯🇲. Blessings to you and everyone a yard and same to my fellow Jamaican here in 🇨🇦
Great investigative content as always Irena. You're e real Gem. Thank you. Watching from London UK 👏🏾🇬🇧🇯🇲
As a jamaican living oversea i must commend you. Please keep it up. Good work.
Another Great piece Irina - 15/10 👏🏾
Definitely interested in the commonwealth video.

I've been following you for a while you are excellent, your content are very educational, no matter which video you do, I just want to tell you that God bless you
This lady is the best representative on Jamaican behalf right now, I'm so ashamed I dont know quarter of the things she knows, spending most of my life there. We need to see her ON STAGE. She selling out country like only miss LOU did. Wow amazing lady 💜💖💛💚❤💙
For a person who wasn't born in Jamaica, you've done your research, our Jamaican
Flag is unique, the cross in the Jamaican Flag is there to represent Christianity.
Jamaica has the most Churches per Square miles in the world, and the Fastest
Runners on earth,
The Black triangles represent the hardships ( associated with our colonial past and
History of enslaved people ) The Green triangles represent our Lush green Land, and
the golden diagonal saltire cross also represents one of our prized resources- golden
Sunshine,
In recent years, however, the meaning has been updated to ''The Sun shineth, the Land
is green and the people are strong and creative'' The Government thought it was necessary
to embrace a more positive representation of the Flag.
omg I had to watch this one twice this lady is something else 😍 thank you for coming to the greatest country on earth and now you are educating us well thank you so much
Awww, thank you so much! 🤗❤️
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE you are most welcome 🙏

great video
Love what you do Irie .Big up
Loved it! Thank you! 🇯🇲 🇯🇲❤
Irina, Jamaica is not only apart of the Commonwealth of Nations but Jamaica still has Queen Elizabeth II as its Head of State ("Queen of Jamaica"). Most of her ceremonial and constitutional duties are carried out by the Governor General of Jamaica. In addition, Jamaica's highest court, or court of final appeal, is the Privy Council in England. So much for Independence!
Yes, I'm well aware of this, that's why I said - I'll make a separate video on the subject after I do a proper research, because "Head of State" that has no power is not really Head of State. So, the question is - what Jamaica gets from it and what Royal Family get from it. I don't understand how either of them are benefitting. Interesting subject though, will have to dig into it.
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE , Irina, I used to think that ceremonial duties, especially those enshrined in countries' constitutions or codified into law, were just for formality, ceremonial, and or symbolic purposes until the attempted coup in the U.S. These things ("powers") can seem insignificant- in fact, we tend not to pay attention to them- until these "powers" or duties are challenged, interrupted or interfered with. For instance, the Governor General ("GG"), the de facto Head of State, who represents the Queen and appointed by "Her Majesty" on the advice of the Prime Minister, has to give his "royal assent" to a bill before it becomes law. The GG also opens Parliament and appoints members of the Services Commissions, among other important things that allow for the proper functioning of Jamaica's democracy. These seemingly insignificant things, if they are not properly observed/if ignored, can lead to constitutional crises and the death of democracies. In any event, if there is no Queen, then there would be no need for a GG. Alternatively, if Jamaica changes its Constitution, then there would be no need for a Queen or GG as Head of State. The same goes for Jamaica's highest court, the UK-based Privy Council.
You teach me alot about my country
This is eye - opening , thanks for the information Irina. I have learnt a great deal here, much appreciated, keep up the good work,
All of this material is in the Jamaica Libraries...
I love your work I check CZcams everyday to see if u up loud anything
The coast guard flags are that way because our ships are Her Majesty Ships.
Looking forward to that video on the commonwealth. You continue to blow me away time and time again. I learn so much about country from your research. Thank you!!!
Thanks again for this history class.
Your presentation is awesome as per usual. THANKS
