It a blessing to hear that Jamaicans want to come home but my advice to you all is :if you can afford it buy a house in a community that you are not from buy it,why? Most time when you are from a community, leave and come back, people think that you owe them something. If you live somewhere else then you avoid all of that and might be able to enjoy the money that you work so hard for over the years.
It is not right what happen but God is good a d he will see you through because he is lord over all so.e of us have it much harder than you Give thanks always he will see you through
Yes Morris, I was recently in Jamaica and was sorely disappointed too. I had savings at JTA and wanted to get a loan to buy property. I had a great balance in my account but they wanted a title (I don’t buy the land yet) among other things. Short story, I had to withdraw most of my shares to finance my business. Next, I went to Jamaica National New Kingston branch to open an account. I waited over an hour just to see a teller, she started the process, asked me for proof of who I am. I gave my US passport, my TRN, my pay stubs, my job letter, utility bills, NIS number, A state ID, and these were NOT enough to open the account. They wanted a Jamaican passport that was current too. I had an account with them and they found the account online. But, they still denied me the account. They discourage returning residents opening accounts with them. Well, I wanted the convenience of having the same bank in New York to transact business. Suffice to say, I went to Scotia bank (Liguanea) to open an account. Same documents presented. Account opened!!! Big up Scotia Bank!!!
I lift my hat to you young man that you decided to move back home to Jamaica based on your personal conviction. You've closed your ears to the naysayers and the doom and gloom people who discredit and discouraged people to return. You are not alone. Stay strong and stay positive. Blessings be upon you continually. 🙏
You’re a very wise young man. Credit cards are useful, just make sure you pay the balance in full every month. Don’t pay interest. Carry a zero balance, gain the points. Those points can buy a plane ticket. Nice car! Congratulations!
It's a shame, I didn't know that they make it so hard for returnees. The government need to put things in place for Jamaicans abroad who want to invest and build back the country.
Ironically thats the reason why I would not retire in jamaica, I have no problem with whomever want to make that choice, I respect their personal decision. However, for me the same thing that this video is complaining about is exactly why I would not retire in jamaica, I said it before and I will say it again, jamaica is a backward place run by incompetent leaders. They have no vision and or foresight. There are so many places one can retire in the world with tropical environment and safety without compromise, jamaica is not the only place with nice beaches and sunshine.
The system in Jamaica makes it hard for Jamaicans living overseas to transact business there indeed. I am so happy that God has blessed you and I pray that more blessings will be poured upon you and your family. Those experiences that Jahmar will have are priceless. Gwaan do yu ting Adrian. All the best.
Bro, I have been in Canada since the 70’s I have the same sentiments. I DON’T want to be stuck in a country where I am locked up in a house! I have decided to make Jamaica my home and Canada my vacation home. I have been a Canadian Citizen since November 1980. Nuh weh nuh betta dan yaad. 🇯🇲🇨🇦
Chef Adrienne, nuff respect to you!!! You are such a humble God fearing man. Alyssa and the kids are so blessed to have you as their provider and protector. Big up to Mommy for raising a God fearing humble man. Peace, blessings, much and continued success!!!
JAMAICA is behind. They have nothing in place for Jamaican residents who live overseas. I spent 2 days at a cable company just to connect the cable and wi fi at my house. I have to be paying this bill every month, simply because I waste two days out of vacation each time I visit JA at FLOW. Wise words in terms of setting a foundation in JA. All the best on that journey
I understand fully. I grew up in the UK from the age of 7 but the pull was always there for my homeland. I am in my 60s have, my children are all grown up, with their own children. I have been back home now for 4 years and l could not be happier, living my best life, eating healthy. So many people can't believe l just upped and moved back home after so many years, there was so much negativity but God has been good to me and home is where my heart has always been and l wanted to spend my money in my home country. I used to visit Canada often before the Pandemic as l have lots of relatives there. The system in JA really needs improvement. I really admire what you are doing and wish all the best for the future for you and your family.
Hello there I am also making the move back after 37years....It feel right..it feels good to be home...I am learning to adjust to it all ...It is tranquil...peaceful...calming..exactly what I need in my life now...we can all live with a lot less than we want to believe....a whole lot less.....
Same thing with me. I left when I was 7 also grew up in New York. 45 now and if it wasn't for my son, I would pack up and leave too and head back to st bess. Bless up!
Thank you fi loving Jamaica and moving back to help the country grow we need our authentic Jamaicans to stay here have them beautiful patwah and culture and nice vibes 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Hi Mi Chef friend! I want to tell you to keep planning and making Decisions that are first guided by our GOD, family centered and self gratifying. My grandmother always said, “If a man has a plan, a good woman will follow him anywhere!” In other words, some men lack direction and rely on other things including the woman to make all decisions for his family. He is not sure of his role as a man, leader, husband and father, the provider. Right. So families are often time over stressed and destroyed as a result of this. As long as you keep GOD first and allow Him to order your steps, YOU and all things attached to you will be ever blessed by GOD(cars, health, finances, family, everything Mi friend!). Thanks for sharing. Nuf love from Dallas, Texas ✋🏽🙏🏽❤️✋🏽🤗
Best move you have made, I am on my way home survival is the key. Canada is rolling ground for the Rest. I am here in 🇨🇦 too. That a part of my problem my family refuse to come with. But I realize I can only save myself.
New subscriber. 🇯🇲 based in the 🇺🇸 .Very inspirational video. I totally agree that Jamaica needs to upgrade their banking system. I tried to open a savings account in JA, it took me months. The same is true for investment accounts. They ask for your entire life story. Here in the US, it takes less than 1 hr to open a bank account.
Scotiabank has a system where you go through the account opening pain once and after that, if you sign up for internet banking, you can open your own accounts online.
Its not Jamaica, Its the US govt that requested this information as the US govt tracks everything you do. Ive seen legitimate business men have to turn over documents to show where they derived the money from. If not the US seizes their assest and puts a freeze on their accounts. Its no joke. The US govt is watching you even if you live in Jamaica. The other day a house in Whitehouse Jamaica was raided and $600 million US dollars was found stacked in a bedroom from floor to ceiling. Within a week the US Coast Guard were patroling the waters up and down the south coast. I witnessed this myself. ( The US Ship that is )
Bless up king, watched your video and am inspired, from the Uk. Your right about not sharing your vision until its fulfilled. I’m a artist and a regular my family tell me not to because people mouth a wul dung. I’m planning to go back to, to try push my music. I did 18 months before, Jamaica needs to step up.
Every black person Carribbean, African, etc. Needs a black experience in any of these Countries. It takes us back to respect, family unity, joy, natural foods etc. And just the joy of the people. Awesone, i love youd cooking. Keep rising.
This happened to me but I was trying to buy a house in Jamaica. Here’s what you do, go to a credit union instead of the big banks. They will assist you and the process is way smother.
Joan, what credit union did you use? I was back home in May & went to update my information on my joint account I opened with my mother when I was a preteen before migrating to Canada. Despite having my IDs, bill showing my address, pay information they still wouldn’t update my info & asking for 2 people to vouch for me in JA! I’m like, I haven’t lived in JA since I was 13, I don’t know any Pastor or accountant etc. Plus my aunt is a vice principal & they said I can’t use her. Mind you I work for a major financial institution in Canada for over almost 2 decades and they wouldn’t update my information. I found this mind boggling as I’m already on the account and not even opening a new account. Such a turn off. I’d rather open an account with a credit union as you suggested.
I agree with you 100 % I was in J.A few months ago n I went to the bank from 9;30 am to almost 2pm before the close at 2pm and I still did not get through to receive my own money ,but my plan the next time go I'm closing that account. It a modern time now, and still jamaica you have to spend the whole day to get your business done.
Congratulations my brother 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I’m very happy that you persevered and came out victorious 💪🏿🤙🏿 I know all the hassle you’ve been through I can relate. It’s very irritating to know that our island treat us as if we are strangers when we go back for business. It’s like they’re punishing you for migrating.. there is an easier process but the hands on experience that you have obtained I’m sure is more retainable than someone showing, cause that you will never forget. I’m a subscriber to your cooking channel but just stumbled across your vlog channel. I’m happy for you and I’m proud of you with your purchase and they way you cater to your family. I wish you and your family a safe and happy vacation and loads more of achievements. Blessings 🇯🇲🇨🇦🙏🏿💫
I am so excited for Jahmier, he will have a great time in Jamaica.....playing marbles, climbing trees and going to the river will be memories that will never be forgotten......enjoy
Real talk! Establish yourself back home. When I was moving from Jamaica I was told multiple time sell the car I didn't for the same reason when me come Jamaica me have something to move round. Also a house is important dont need to pay rent or hotel when I am home. Thank God for a supporting husband.I am proud of your mindset and you will reach far set yourself a yard like how you set yourself abroad. Respect turn up for you Adrian 💯 🙏.
Adrian congratulation on been home. I loved the bond you have with your mother which is a blessing. Adrian you are super talented, and you could do anything you want to in Jamaica. Shop around there are a lot of opportunities in Jamaica to be achieve. You are a great cook, and you know Jamaican products are in high demand all over the World you can create your own sauce , seasonings etcs. You have to think outside the box. I have a nephew who lives abroad, has a family and manage a business in Jamaica. With the sophistication of the l phones, and cameras in various business places, you will do well. You are very intelligent, and you know what you want out of life. I am so happy for you , and wish you and your family all the best. You Mom needs her own cooking show. Keep Up The Cook Work . Blessings.
I so respect your outlook on life and wanting your son to experience what you did. Many times we shield our children from the very things that made us who we are: strong, responsible, having respect, confidence, tenacity, appreciation for hard work, trust/praise God etc. and instead of preparing them for the future, we prepare the future for them. Your son has such a solid foundation to emulate. For a young man, you have my respect 🙏
Wow Heather, I love your comment about the parents who in error do this to their kids '...instead of preparing them for the future we prepare the future for them.'
Jamaica system too slow when you go to the bank their it’s a hold day ting, if you trying to open a bank account they asking for so much paper work I just walk away,best bank to join is credit union, they won’t ever close your account, while scotiabank, close account with money in it lol and NCB
@@jahmallajaima yes Jamaica have credit union bank, I have account their for decades now best bank, even if you don’t put money in it for 10 years credit union don’t close your account are take your money
Well we'll. I worked in the health sector for years in Jamaica. My father bought me my first car,. I sold it and wanted a loan for an upgrade. The bank refused my application initially and said my salary couldn't afford me the requested portion. Long and short, the bank manager reviewed my request and granted me the loan. I bought my car, repaid my loan before the time now the bank wants to lend me more. They kept calling that I am now qualified for 3.5 million and I never ever had requested a million at that time, It's too funny
Congratulation Chef Adrian Morris on achieving and surpassing this new milestone in your life, and the car pretty too!😁 You are an inspiration and a fine example of a strong and loving husband and father. Keep pushing and stay blessed.🙏🏿👍
Amazing. Jamaican banking system does need to improve on their process. May God bless you and keep you. I applaud you for acknowledging that God made the way possible for you and your family. Stay blessed
Congratulations on your achievement!!! Thanks for sharing your experience. I myself learned the hard way not to tell ppl your move until it’s made regardless if it’s family….. bad energy stifle it
Congratulations Adrian, your the true definition of a man and leader. Nuff man go foreign and forget their kids here in ja much more to come back and set a foundation for them. I have mad respect for you, I'm new to your family channel but I subscribe to your cooking channel. You've got my support always!! Wish you all the best with any and everything you do. Nuff love and blessings.
Like wow! You're such an inspiration to me and I'm sure to many others. God bless and continue to keep you and your family towards your Jamaican Summer and all endeavours to come. Congratulations on every milestone you've achieved thus far. I don't get to comment on every video you may post, but once given the opportunity, I take time to listen like a podcast while I'm working or on break. You always keep my mind ticking on how better I can improve and better myself as a young person. You amaze me of the way you think, in terms of certain decisions you make as a young person. Thanks for sharing various aspects of your life and your family, and I'm in total agreement about when you share your achievements after you've seen them to fruition, that's very wise of you. You are humble, thankful to God for & in every aspect of your life, and always selfless, to your family and your followers. Those videos you share, definitely encourage and help others, including myself, along our own journeys.
I have been living in the USA for 53 years. I retired in 2013 & have been thinking of moving back to Jamaica, however after numerous visits I am hesitant to make that move because of the backwards way the banks operate..I am still sitting on the fence not sure about that move! Move your money out of that bank that denied you the loan!
I joined CNB here in Miami in 1983, in 1989 I went fr a loan to buy a bigger house as I was selling the 1 I BOUGHT in 1981, they wd not lend me. I went to another bank where I had no account n they lent me, I never mssed 1 payment n paid off, I still do business w/them up to this day. The first bank is calling if I want to borrow or know anyone who does I said 'No thanks' n told them y. Most of the banks in Ja is so unfair, it's discouraging.
Congratulations Adrian, big up yourself 👏🏾🎉 thank you for sharing your experience in JA with the bank. I’m happy for you & can’t wait to see Alissa & co come to JA to see your family. You really had faith & never give up. Blessings.🙏🏾💕🇬🇧
Give HIM the glory because, through HIM, all things are possible!!! What an amazing journey and an admirable one if I might add. You are the epitome of STRENGTH, RESILIENCE, DETERMINATION....the list goes on. I remember when I first came across your channel, years ago----you've definitely come a long way 🙏🏽🙏🏽. I'm happy but more importantly excited to be a part of this journey with you and your family. I'm proud of you!!! P.S. Hellshire beach is a place to visit. Not necessarily for the beach (😫), but for the seafood!!! Respected and highly favoured 🙌🏾
Yes he really does come a far way I use to talk what I need to do it don’t work out even my own mom and siblings talk me out of what I need to do so you know what I start to stop talk and get a journal and write and when it come to pass I cross it out and move to the next and when my other siblings and family member see things a gone them start yap yap them mouth I stay far from them not not even know where am living I support my children in whatever I like or look to do and they are doing great i give the a journal each and tell them put it in it and tell no one when I come to pass the watchers will see with their eyes this is my cent
I have just joined my partner in JA and I have found local government employee very very difficult to deal with, places like the tax office the wharf, passport office etc even the banks are not much better. My man is Jamaican whilst I'm not and I observe him face difficulty after difficultly from these people who are employed to do their job they are rude and lack any form of customer service skills. One day at the wharf where they have held on to our household belongings for the pass 4 months it got so bad I thought I was having a panic attack. Other places they were talking quite openly about about giving them back hand payments to get our business done quicker.The country is fast becoming like Nigeria where you can't piss in a public toilet without paying the cleaner. Shocking, we can't set up our home because they taking so long to release our furniture's meanwhile they very proudly told us we will be expected to pay storage charges
I'm convinced that only its only black people who get this kind of treatment in Jamaica because I'm damn sure the Chinese who's aim is to take over the Caribbean and Africian Continent don't get pushed around this way, is it because they have government backing? They can just walk in and open a store with hardly any problem and are exempt from paying duty in most cases. Governments across the Caribbean are like cheap prostitutes they accept money from China to take its people what some of us don't realise is that some of these people are ex-prisoners that China has released from its prisons
Exactly.. coming through the airport the immigration officers laugh up with the white people and when you a Jamaican get to their stations their faces just get ugly. Those same white people are the same one who cut my grass,..
Blessings chef you have not only inspired me but I am sure a lot of other people. You have also helped to push me into a plan I have. All the best to you and family in all your endeavors 🙏💞
Respect to you Morris. I always love your cooking videos. I admire how spiritual you are and that you are family oriented, and remember where you’re coming from. Continue to stay humble and God will send down the blessing more and work things out in your favor. Love how you inform and encourage us! 🙏🏽👍🏽
Great job Adrian 👏 very proud family man. Big up yourself. Congrats on this Journey Can't wait to see the rest of the family experience for the Summer. Determination is key in whatever you are trying to Accomplish. Put God first 🙏🏾 in all that you do Blessings my Brother
It's very important that people know this. I'm super proud to be a Jamaican, and I love most things in my country. But some things have to change the system is really bad and they have to really and truly do better 💯
It has been a while since sharing in the comment section but had to make the time for this comment. Yes, I saw when you landed an ting but so busy (me). I give this video 100% of my support. You hit every single nail on the head with the comparison with yaad and abroad. There are so many points go could agree and share but yuh dun know the space and time. Welcome home!!! You did the right thing in sorting fam ahead of time great route in securing your car. So proud of you. Never give up and keep sharing with us. Fingers crossed for you and fam in attaining a bigger home space. Continue giving God thanks. Big up yourself. Can't wait to see the fam in Jam and you and Jham making memorable memories. Safe travels on yaad gravel.
Good morning all, Morris I cant begin to tell you how proud I am of you, your a young man doing what myself and my husband has done in the past, but I just love all your content and how you want to share your story to help others, BIG CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW CAR, 🥳🥳 It will definitely help your family to feel more comfortable when they come to visit 🇯🇲🇯🇲 No more TAXI
I pray that God guides you on your journey Morris 🙏🙏🙏 You have your head screwed on right, therefore whatever you do will be a success. Blessings to you and family each and every time 🙏🙏🙏
Big up my boy, nicest documentary I heard in a long time. It's great that you want your son to see and enjoy the frame work of what brought you to what you have become so he could understand his heritage. Give them the part of life they can't have in Canada while you try and set up your culinary skills. Ain't nothing more valuable than being back home and living the way you like Best wishes. Stay focused and work with and for your family. God's mighty blessings.
Be resilient, good to set a proper base to build on. Great motivation first time on your channel. Love your determination you surely inspire and motivate me to pressing forward.
Adrian I wish you all the best in your endeavors and I really hope and pray everything works out great for you . God will open doors for you he will do great things in your life just keep believing and trusting in him. Don't be too disappointed when things go wrong it's just God's way of telling you that's not for you just have faith. Love your work keep on doing what you're doing things can only get better. Love you my friend, God bless you.
Real talk. Was in Jamaica 6 yrs ago. Tried opening an account to start the transitioning process. Brought pay stubs to prove I've been working the same job for over 20 yrs. plus proof of my assets in NYC. Got denied with some excuse about the law pertaining to the money laundering act. Believe me when I say both managers are ppl I went to school with in Ja. I just flew back to NYC with my money and said though my family has commercial n residential properties . Ja is a no ,no for investment. Try having to do other businesses and having to make multiple trips, the immigration employees act like, one should not come back home, the level of harrassment. One even tell me that's what happens when you not travelling on the Ja book and I should get one. I responded , the U.S. book takes me anywhere without a problem only here. I also brought to her attention that we have assets there n my book specify that place of birth is Ja. so don't tell me I frequent my main home too much. I provide jobs each time I am here cause I am doing major construction . I reinterated that u can't transplant peas n it produce corn. I also quoted Bob Marley's song " Dem a go tired fi see mi face." Now that I stop working, seriously thinking to retire elsewhere cause can' t bother with the foolishness. Even my younger sisters who are in Ja often and would love to partners with the hospital n give free medical assistance to our ppl who cant afford it. Try donating supplies to a facility or hospital the red tapes make it virtually impossible. The minstry of Health should allow the administrator to clear these aid at the wharves without a glitch. We know better never to try that again. U gotta pay to sent it n leave go down to pay for it then gift it to the hospital administrator. SICK
Badmind is too prevalent especially if they see you doing too well. It's Jamaicans bringing JA down with the poor thinking about it's own citizens and members of the diaspora. It's sad and a turn off for many.
Bear in mind also that when and if those supplies are issued to the hospital , you have to stay on top of it to make sure they ( hospital workers ) don't grab for themselves and sell what they can. Everything dem hustle out a yawd, even when it is beneficial to them. Kmt I love my country bad and just wish and hope for a change with alot of things. Sad to see that people have to now resort and change plans to invest, move or relocate to another country.
Adrian congratulations 🎊 👏 on your new family vehicle in Jamaica. Can't wait to see the family vacation vlogs. Jahmier will be so excited. Bless up yourselves Morris family. 🇨🇦
Congratulations!🎊 What an achievement for you and the family. Love how remain humble and use your journey as teachable moments for others in similar situations. Big up yourself 👊🏾👏🏾
Greetings mi “G”. Mi know bout salt fish 🐟 chicken 🐓 foot and all a dat!! I hit that like button before watching the video, just so you know. A so mi rate you. May Jah guide and protect you and the family. You have given me encouragement to do something in Jamaica 🇯🇲 because trust me, I’ve given up long ago due to how things run compared to here in the U.S. I’m truly happy for you!!!
Congratulations 🎉 You remind me so much of my brother.Family man!!You deserve all the goodness that has come to you and that you are about to receive. Blessings
It isnot only in Jamaica but basically all Caribbean countries do the same. It is simply a system that is in place that has an attitude towards people who live abroad and have that entrepreneurship energy to reinvest at home. The system doesn’t want it happening but sir keep that strong spirit and they could never keep you down . RISE UP Caribbean people RISE UP
CONGRATULATIONS 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 🇨🇦I enjoy your content at all times......I've learnt something from you that I wish I had known earlier in life but I will pass on to my child.....Blessings to you and the family , Jah guide 🙏🏾💜
Chef Morris, your love for God, family and all your struggles, hard work, dedication and perservance have made you the strong man you are today. Keeping pressing on and keep being the motivation you are to many. Can't wait to see the videos of family in Jamaica having a blast. Stay blessed.. Nice 🚗
First time watching your channel love love love how authentic you are and showing that there is still hope being back in Jamaica...I too advise others to travel and experience a foreign country...but WE need to do our part and help in that building up , to make Jamaica the place we wish it to be while also accepting that it is NOT the first world country we compare it to.
What a breath of fresh air this Sunday morning here!! I always watched your cooking channel and didnt know that you had a family channel. Lo and behold this video popped up in my recommendations and I enjoyed your honesty and insight!
Good move Chef, sorry you had to go through that difficult process, Jamaica really needs to do better and put things in place to accommodate investment in the country. Congrats on the addition to your portfolio 😊👍. Keep achieving. Bless up uself 🙏🙏
First I must say Congrats I am so proud of you and wish you all the best ! Dude I understand the foreign struggle , I too have been through the struggle so I know what time it is and you right about Jamaica needing to do better and help entrepreneurs ,who are trying to do business in Jamaica! You seems like a very ambitious and determining person and you will make it because you are on the right path ,continue to keep the faith ! Good luck 👍🏿
Jamaica makes it FRUSTRATING for return residents😤. I had to renew my signature at the bank, they wanted overseas referrals, had to call my boss, bring my passport, my paycheck, resume, official job offer letter😒….IN THE NAME OF JESUS! I had to ask for the branch manager and just get proper on them because it was too much.
Join a credit union...I spend literally whole day in a line yet didn't get thru,you can't just even put a family member on your account they want your arm and lungs...before.
That’s another thing I don’t like in Jamaica. Not even getting a house in the US is as difficult as opening a bank account in Jamaica. I don’t know why they make things so difficult there.
Your channel come up on my feed & I must say I am so very proud of you & your accomplishment. You’re so easy to listen to & so passionate about family. I must now subscribe & like up the video I already watch
Congrats Adrian. Wise move. Definitely Jamaica's system affects productivity. Too much red, black, blue, pink, green and orange tape! No fun doing any business in Jamaica. I pray one day this changes especially for the younger generation coming up. The land is such a beautiful place and we have some God bless people in sweet Jamaica!!!
@@faithm2535 Bear in mind that the different tapes in the system does not necessarily mean transparency and efficiency. This is how some of these bureacrats rob the system by creating a lot of red, pink, blue etc tapes to confuse many and hide wrong doings in their own midst. So the more confusion aka tapes the more tiefing!!!
Even as an entrepreneur in Jamaica it is hard for us here. I live here and it’s extremely hard for Jamaicans to own anything. The system is a disgrace but I’m happy you got through. Drive safe and gwaaan travel on the gravel
There are ordinary people in Jamaica who do are very well in business. I think you did not research the country's lending policy properly before you returned to start business.
Knowledge is power. Thank you for sharing. Massive congratulations. I am very proud of you. Blessings on top of Blessings to you and your family always.
Thank you, thank you. This info is so important to know. Because I too tried to to open an account in Jamaica while here in Canada and could not do it. I found Jamaica make it difficult for their own people and easier for foreigners to their country. Yes Jamaica needs to do better.
Congratulations Adrian 👏🏿 I have been watching you ever since you started doing videos from you were in your car waiting for the owner of the restaurant in Ajax I see the determination in you to do better. The line that I never forget is when you say you want to work for yourself just goes to show you what happens with determination. You have shown how faith works. It takes hard work and dedication you really put that in on the CZcams community. I'm trying to find the words to tell you how you give me meaning to keep going. I know this is just a comment on a CZcams page but it's truly heartfelt. Thank you for sharing your story your words are set in stone you are such a inspiration I'm so proud of you and congratulations to all your progress you have made. Yes Jamaica banking system should get with the times I want to invest in Jamaica but they make it so hard just to get on the Jamaican stock exchange. Anyways I love Jamaica and thanks for sharing your story what an inspiration. Blessings and Abundance. 🙏🏾💪🏿💯💥
Happy for you Morris, nice car too!I love that you were talking about us,that we have to wake up after covid. It was hard and that's when I was thinking that we have to have sumn there. I told my relatives and friends the same thing some really do and few might not want to but that's our home. I am just praying for peace and hope to retire in my forever land we love. I hope you will bake a potato pudding on coal or wood fire if your family will like it
It a blessing to hear that Jamaicans want to come home but my advice to you all is :if you can afford it buy a house in a community that you are not from buy it,why? Most time when you are from a community, leave and come back, people think that you owe them something. If you live somewhere else then you avoid all of that and might be able to enjoy the money that you work so hard for over the years.
So true
Facts
Facts. Then they will plan to rob and kill u
So true its so hard 😫
It is not right what happen but God is good a d he will see you through because he is lord over all so.e of us have it much harder than you Give thanks always he will see you through
Solid words: "You don't work this hard to stay the same" I will remember this.
Do u thing bro God be with u 😃🙏❤💚❤🙏
Yes love the move
I have done the same return back. After 50 years I travel out sometimes.
Yes Morris, I was recently in Jamaica and was sorely disappointed too. I had savings at JTA and wanted to get a loan to buy property. I had a great balance in my account but they wanted a title (I don’t buy the land yet) among other things. Short story, I had to withdraw most of my shares to finance my business.

Well, I wanted the convenience of having the same bank in New York to transact business. Suffice to say, I went to Scotia bank (Liguanea) to open an account. Same documents presented. Account opened!!! Big up Scotia Bank!!!
I lift my hat to you young man that you decided to move back home to Jamaica based on your personal conviction. You've closed your ears to the naysayers and the doom and gloom people who discredit and discouraged people to return. You are not alone. Stay strong and stay positive. Blessings be upon you continually. 🙏
Did you get Dip. ? As no one leave their wife and kids as a man.
You’re a very wise young man. Credit cards are useful, just make sure you pay the balance in full every month. Don’t pay interest. Carry a zero balance, gain the points. Those points can buy a plane ticket. Nice car! Congratulations!
I made sure that whenever I make a purchase I make sure I pay my bill in FULL every billing cycle.
U should have your own money to buy your car u are coming from away.
You’ve hit the nail on the head that Jamaicans, makes it really hard for it’s own Jamaican people to strive
Should take a leaf out of how the Asian and Chinese culture because they support and help each other and that is how they succeed.
The risk to the bank would be too high. I understand their point.
Don’t take it personal. The bank must measure the risk.
Congratulations to you and your family! However, move in silence don’t show too much for your safety. Always love you and your videos. Stay safe
@Wyndell Ferron OMG what do mean by that??
True
Don't show too much!
Congratulations 🎉👏🎉 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@Patricia Carter true dat, MOVE IN SILENCE
Move wisely
It's a shame, I didn't know that they make it so hard for returnees. The government need to put things in place for Jamaicans abroad who want to invest and build back the country.
I've been saying this!!! Yes👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Vote IUC and all that will change. The system is set up to kill the returnees with tax.
Ironically thats the reason why I would not retire in jamaica, I have no problem with whomever want to make that choice, I respect their personal decision. However, for me the same thing that this video is complaining about is exactly why I would not retire in jamaica, I said it before and I will say it again, jamaica is a backward place run by incompetent leaders. They have no vision and or foresight. There are so many places one can retire in the world with tropical environment and safety without compromise, jamaica is not the only place with nice beaches and sunshine.
Too much jesus worshiping
@@haloking1988 exactly that’s the main issue…
You need to meet Errol Stevens..... you and him love to share and you can link up and make jamaica 🇯🇲better
The system in Jamaica makes it hard for Jamaicans living overseas to transact business there indeed. I am so happy that God has blessed you and I pray that more blessings will be poured upon you and your family. Those experiences that Jahmar will have are priceless. Gwaan do yu ting Adrian. All the best.
God bless you continue to do you
Bro, I have been in Canada since the 70’s I have the same sentiments. I DON’T want to be stuck in a country where I am locked up in a house! I have decided to make Jamaica my home and Canada my vacation home. I have been a Canadian Citizen since November 1980. Nuh weh nuh betta dan yaad. 🇯🇲🇨🇦
Thank the lord you were strong enough to take the assel because that's why some people no badda more strength real Jamaican no back down .
Not to mention the weather couldn't manage it badda...
The banks in Jamaica they carry east and west
Looking good
AMEN
You did well bro.
Don't apologize for anything. You have been there to know what's best for you and your family. Thanks for the lessons ☺️
VMBS is a great great bank. Customer service is 💯. Never had any issues with then. Always supportive of overseas Jamaicans and locals alike.
I've been banking with them from I've been in school!! The BEST bank ever!!
Yes that's true Sashana got my home loan from them while living overseas .They look out for the poor living overseas.
What’s the full name of this bank please
@@Beverleyrog Victoria mutual building society
@@colleenwilson5683 Yes from primary school...I have nothing bad to say about that bank they have been good to me
Chef Adrienne, nuff respect to you!!! You are such a humble God fearing man. Alyssa and the kids are so blessed to have you as their provider and protector. Big up to Mommy for raising a God fearing humble man. Peace, blessings, much and continued success!!!
Move the man nu want yuh
This young man is going please, hes got a good heart ❤❤
JAMAICA is behind. They have nothing in place for Jamaican residents who live overseas. I spent 2 days at a cable company just to connect the cable and wi fi at my house. I have to be paying this bill every month, simply because I waste two days out of vacation each time I visit JA at FLOW. Wise words in terms of setting a foundation in JA. All the best on that journey
I understand fully. I grew up in the UK from the age of 7 but the pull was always there for my homeland. I am in my 60s have, my children are all grown up, with their own children. I have been back home now for 4 years and l could not be happier, living my best life, eating healthy. So many people can't believe l just upped and moved back home after so many years, there was so much negativity but God has been good to me and home is where my heart has always been and l wanted to spend my money in my home country. I used to visit Canada often before the Pandemic as l have lots of relatives there. The system in JA really needs improvement. I really admire what you are doing and wish all the best for the future for you and your family.
I give thank for you don't give God will see you true
Hello there I am also making the move back after 37years....It feel right..it feels good to be home...I am learning to adjust to it all ...It is tranquil...peaceful...calming..exactly what I need in my life now...we can all live with a lot less than we want to believe....a whole lot less.....
Same thing with me. I left when I was 7 also grew up in New York. 45 now and if it wasn't for my son, I would pack up and leave too and head back to st bess. Bless up!
Bless wish and happy retirement
@@sandrachin-brown1228 blessing hope u continue to enjoy your stay
RESPECT FAMILY NEVER GIVE UP WE DIDN'T COME SO FAR TO FAIL, JUST KEEP BUILDING
Proud of you my jamaican brother. Keep pushing
Thank you fi loving Jamaica and moving back to help the country grow we need our authentic Jamaicans to stay here have them beautiful patwah and culture and nice vibes 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Hi Mi Chef friend! I want to tell you to keep planning and making Decisions that are first guided by our GOD, family centered and self gratifying. My grandmother always said, “If a man has a plan, a good woman will follow him anywhere!” In other words, some men lack direction and rely on other things including the woman to make all decisions for his family. He is not sure of his role as a man, leader, husband and father, the provider. Right. So families are often time over stressed and destroyed as a result of this. As long as you keep GOD first and allow Him to order your steps, YOU and all things attached to you will be ever blessed by GOD(cars, health, finances, family, everything Mi friend!). Thanks for sharing. Nuf love from Dallas, Texas ✋🏽🙏🏽❤️✋🏽🤗
Best move you have made, I am on my way home survival is the key.
Canada is rolling ground for the Rest. I am here in 🇨🇦 too. That a part of my problem my family refuse to come with. But I realize I can only save myself.
New subscriber. 🇯🇲 based in the 🇺🇸 .Very inspirational video. I totally agree that Jamaica needs to upgrade their banking system. I tried to open a savings account in JA, it took me months. The same is true for investment accounts. They ask for your entire life story. Here in the US, it takes less than 1 hr to open a bank account.
Here in Canada as well. I can open a bank account online in a few minutes. Even if I have to go into a bank, it not taking the entire day to open it.
Scotiabank has a system where you go through the account opening pain once and after that, if you sign up for internet banking, you can open your own accounts online.
@@mnqolivia Thanks for the info. I will definitely check it out.
@@KevinTheFoodExplora You are welcome. Best wishes.
Its not Jamaica, Its the US govt that requested this information as the US govt tracks everything you do. Ive seen legitimate business men have to turn over documents to show where they derived the money from. If not the US seizes their assest and puts a freeze on their accounts. Its no joke. The US govt is watching you even if you live in Jamaica. The other day a house in Whitehouse Jamaica was raided and $600 million US dollars was found stacked in a bedroom from floor to ceiling. Within a week the US Coast Guard were patroling the waters up and down the south coast. I witnessed this myself. ( The US Ship that is )
VMBS( Victoria Mutual Building Society) is a really great bank in Jamaica to have an account. And for returning residents as well!
Yes VMBS is great 👍
Bless up king, watched your video and am inspired, from the Uk. Your right about not sharing your vision until its fulfilled. I’m a artist and a regular my family tell me not to because people mouth a wul dung.
I’m planning to go back to, to try push my music. I did 18 months before, Jamaica needs to step up.
Every black person Carribbean, African, etc. Needs a black experience in any of these Countries. It takes us back to respect, family unity, joy, natural foods etc. And just the joy of the people. Awesone, i love youd cooking. Keep rising.
This happened to me but I was trying to buy a house in Jamaica. Here’s what you do, go to a credit union instead of the big banks. They will assist you and the process is way smother.
Joan, what credit union did you use?
I was back home in May & went to update my information on my joint account I opened with my mother when I was a preteen before migrating to Canada.
Despite having my IDs, bill showing my address, pay information they still wouldn’t update my info & asking for 2 people to vouch for me in JA! I’m like, I haven’t lived in JA since I was 13, I don’t know any Pastor or accountant etc.
Plus my aunt is a vice principal & they said I can’t use her. Mind you I work for a major financial institution in Canada for over almost 2 decades and they wouldn’t update my information.
I found this mind boggling as I’m already on the account and not even opening a new account. Such a turn off.
I’d rather open an account with a credit union as you suggested.
@@angellewhyte7731 I used JPS credit Union in Kingston
Thanks so much, appreciate the quick response!
I agree with you 100 % I was in J.A few months ago n I went to the bank from 9;30 am to almost 2pm before the close at 2pm and I still did not get through to receive my own money ,but my plan the next time go I'm closing that account. It a modern time now, and still jamaica you have to spend the whole day to get your business done.
yes i have similar experience mother and child have to sit outside alll day in the hot sun to collect there own money just shame
Congratulations my brother 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I’m very happy that you persevered and came out victorious 💪🏿🤙🏿
I know all the hassle you’ve been through I can relate. It’s very irritating to know that our island treat us as if we are strangers when we go back for business. It’s like they’re punishing you for migrating.. there is an easier process but the hands on experience that you have obtained I’m sure is more retainable than someone showing, cause that you will never forget. I’m a subscriber to your cooking channel but just stumbled across your vlog channel.
I’m happy for you and I’m proud of you with your purchase and they way you cater to your family. I wish you and your family a safe and happy vacation and loads more of achievements. Blessings 🇯🇲🇨🇦🙏🏿💫
I have lived in Canada for over 40 years I love it I could never go back to Jamaica and live i hope it works out for u good luck
Never say never.
A tell you that
I am so excited for Jahmier, he will have a great time in Jamaica.....playing marbles, climbing trees and going to the river will be memories that will never be forgotten......enjoy
Yes, but The shooting of birds part could be skipped, as the bird population appears to have been depleted in most locations, just like the fisheries.
Real talk! Establish yourself back home. When I was moving from Jamaica I was told multiple time sell the car I didn't for the same reason when me come Jamaica me have something to move round. Also a house is important dont need to pay rent or hotel when I am home. Thank God for a supporting husband.I am proud of your mindset and you will reach far set yourself a yard like how you set yourself abroad. Respect turn up for you Adrian 💯 🙏.
Adrian congratulation on been home. I loved the bond you have with your mother which is a blessing. Adrian you are super talented, and you could do anything you want to in Jamaica. Shop around there are a lot of opportunities in Jamaica to be achieve. You are a great cook, and you know Jamaican products are in high demand all over the World you can create your own sauce , seasonings etcs. You have to think outside the box. I have a nephew who lives abroad, has a family and manage a business in Jamaica. With the sophistication of the l phones, and cameras in various business places, you will do well. You are very intelligent, and you know what you want out of life. I am so happy for you , and wish you and your family all the best. You Mom needs her own cooking show. Keep Up The Cook Work . Blessings.
Progressive elements! Love it Morris and Congratulations on your new journey .
More blessings to you and your family? 🙏🏽
I so respect your outlook on life and wanting your son to experience what you did. Many times we shield our children from the very things that made us who we are: strong, responsible, having respect, confidence, tenacity, appreciation for hard work, trust/praise God etc. and instead of preparing them for the future, we prepare the future for them. Your son has such a solid foundation to emulate. For a young man, you have my respect 🙏
Wow Heather, I love your comment about the parents who in error do this to their kids '...instead of preparing them for the future we prepare the future for them.'
Jamaica system too slow when you go to the bank their it’s a hold day ting, if you trying to open a bank account they asking for so much paper work I just walk away,best bank to join is credit union, they won’t ever close your account, while scotiabank, close account with money in it lol and NCB
@@evroypowell9782 So JA has credit unions? If so that’s great. If I was to move their I didn’t want to put money in a bank. I prefer credit unions.
@@jahmallajaima yes Jamaica have credit union bank, I have account their for decades now best bank, even if you don’t put money in it for 10 years credit union don’t close your account are take your money
@@evroypowell9782 I only deal with credit unions. If you could tell me the name of yours and any other one you know would be much appreciated.
Well we'll. I worked in the health sector for years in Jamaica. My father bought me my first car,. I sold it and wanted a loan for an upgrade. The bank refused my application initially and said my salary couldn't afford me the requested portion. Long and short, the bank manager reviewed my request and granted me the loan. I bought my car, repaid my loan before the time now the bank wants to lend me more. They kept calling that I am now qualified for 3.5 million and I never ever had requested a million at that time, It's too funny
Congratulation Chef Adrian Morris on achieving and surpassing this new milestone in your life, and the car pretty too!😁 You are an inspiration and a fine example of a strong and loving husband and father. Keep pushing and stay blessed.🙏🏿👍
Amazing. Jamaican banking system does need to improve on their process. May God bless you and keep you. I applaud you for acknowledging that God made the way possible for you and your family. Stay blessed
Continue to inspire others my friend. Congratulations 🙏
Don't put your money into them find a different way
Thief them want to theif your money
Congratulations on your achievement!!! Thanks for sharing your experience. I myself learned the hard way not to tell ppl your move until it’s made regardless if it’s family….. bad energy stifle it
Congratulations Adrian, your the true definition of a man and leader. Nuff man go foreign and forget their kids here in ja much more to come back and set a foundation for them. I have mad respect for you, I'm new to your family channel but I subscribe to your cooking channel. You've got my support always!! Wish you all the best with any and everything you do. Nuff love and blessings.
Like wow! You're such an inspiration to me and I'm sure to many others. God bless and continue to keep you and your family towards your Jamaican Summer and all endeavours to come. Congratulations on every milestone you've achieved thus far.
I don't get to comment on every video you may post, but once given the opportunity, I take time to listen like a podcast while I'm working or on break.
You always keep my mind ticking on how better I can improve and better myself as a young person. You amaze me of the way you think, in terms of certain decisions you make as a young person. Thanks for sharing various aspects of your life and your family, and I'm in total agreement about when you share your achievements after you've seen them to fruition, that's very wise of you. You are humble, thankful to God for & in every aspect of your life, and always selfless, to your family and your followers. Those videos you share, definitely encourage and help others, including myself, along our own journeys.
Now came upon your Chanel. Lots of good advice you're sharing with others, particularly Caribbean people. All the best to you and your family!!
I have been living in the USA for 53 years. I retired in 2013 & have been thinking of moving back to Jamaica, however after numerous visits I am hesitant to make that move because of the backwards way the banks operate..I am still sitting on the fence not sure about that move!
Move your money out of that bank that denied you the loan!
I joined CNB here in Miami in 1983, in 1989 I went fr a loan to buy a bigger house as I was selling the 1 I BOUGHT in 1981, they wd not lend me. I went to another bank where I had no account n they lent me, I never mssed 1 payment n paid off, I still do business w/them up to this day. The first bank is calling if I want to borrow or know anyone who does I said 'No thanks' n told them y. Most of the banks in Ja is so unfair, it's discouraging.
Time to jump off the fence..it's beautiful here. ❤💯💯🇯🇲 I made the move.. Blessings
Congratulations Adrian, big up yourself 👏🏾🎉 thank you for sharing your experience in JA with the bank. I’m happy for you & can’t wait to see Alissa & co come to JA to see your family. You really had faith & never give up. Blessings.🙏🏾💕🇬🇧
I am right behind you brother, many thanks to Annesha, everyone discouraged and doubted me (still do) but she inspired me!!
Give HIM the glory because, through HIM, all things are possible!!! What an amazing journey and an admirable one if I might add. You are the epitome of STRENGTH, RESILIENCE, DETERMINATION....the list goes on. I remember when I first came across your channel, years ago----you've definitely come a long way 🙏🏽🙏🏽. I'm happy but more importantly excited to be a part of this journey with you and your family. I'm proud of you!!! P.S. Hellshire beach is a place to visit. Not necessarily for the beach (😫), but for the seafood!!! Respected and highly favoured 🙌🏾
Yes he really does come a far way I use to talk what I need to do it don’t work out even my own mom and siblings talk me out of what I need to do so you know what I start to stop talk and get a journal and write and when it come to pass I cross it out and move to the next and when my other siblings and family member see things a gone them start yap yap them mouth I stay far from them not not even know where am living I support my children in whatever I like or look to do and they are doing great i give the a journal each and tell them put it in it and tell no one when I come to pass the watchers will see with their eyes this is my cent
@@gracemitchell373 There are no limits in this world; follow your heart, chase your dreams, inspire others and definitely RESPECT yourself!
@@gmarie2212 Thank you so much for your words of encouragement you definitely make my morning ❤️
I have just joined my partner in JA and I have found local government employee very very difficult to deal with, places like the tax office the wharf, passport office etc even the banks are not much better. My man is Jamaican whilst I'm not and I observe him face difficulty after difficultly from these people who are employed to do their job they are rude and lack any form of customer service skills. One day at the wharf where they have held on to our household belongings for the pass 4 months it got so bad I thought I was having a panic attack. Other places they were talking quite openly about about giving them back hand payments to get our business done quicker.The country is fast becoming like Nigeria where you can't piss in a public toilet without paying the cleaner. Shocking, we can't set up our home because they taking so long to release our furniture's meanwhile they very proudly told us we will be expected to pay storage charges
I'm convinced that only its only black people who get this kind of treatment in Jamaica because I'm damn sure the Chinese who's aim is to take over the Caribbean and Africian Continent don't get pushed around this way, is it because they have government backing? They can just walk in and open a store with hardly any problem and are exempt from paying duty in most cases. Governments across the Caribbean are like cheap prostitutes they accept money from China to take its people what some of us don't realise is that some of these people are ex-prisoners that China has released from its prisons
Exactly.. coming through the airport the immigration officers laugh up with the white people and when you a Jamaican get to their stations their faces just get ugly. Those same white people are the same one who cut my grass,..
Blessings chef you have not only inspired me but I am sure a lot of other people. You have also helped to push me into a plan I have. All the best to you and family in all your endeavors 🙏💞
Nuff respect Adrian. Congrats man! Thanks for sharing your story, it’s very motivating. Keep moving to greater achievements.
Congratulations too you 💃🏾 Love your positive vibes Morris. God bless you and your family 🙏🏾
Respect to you Morris. I always love your cooking videos. I admire how spiritual you are and that you are family oriented, and remember where you’re coming from. Continue to stay humble and God will send down the blessing more and work things out in your favor. Love how you inform and encourage us! 🙏🏽👍🏽
Great job Adrian 👏 very proud family man. Big up yourself. Congrats on this Journey Can't wait to see the rest of the family experience for the Summer. Determination is key in whatever you are trying to Accomplish. Put God first 🙏🏾 in all that you do
Blessings my Brother
Congratulations! This video gives me so much motivation. A true testament of hard work and perseverance. The family will have a great summer ☀️
It's very important that people know this. I'm super proud to be a Jamaican, and I love most things in my country. But some things have to change the system is really bad and they have to really and truly do better 💯
ill draft up a petition, specifically to the banks, about customer wait time... will you (and hopefully others) sign it?
I just came across your channel and love your content. Keep doing your thing, it’s motivating. Big up from a Jamaican in NY!
It has been a while since sharing in the comment section but had to make the time for this comment. Yes, I saw when you landed an ting but so busy (me).
I give this video 100% of my support. You hit every single nail on the head with the comparison with yaad and abroad.
There are so many points go could agree and share but yuh dun know the space and time.

Big up my boy, nicest documentary I heard in a long time. It's great that you want your son to see and enjoy the frame work of what brought you to what you have become so he could understand his heritage.
Give them the part of life they can't have in Canada while you try and set up your culinary skills. Ain't nothing more valuable than being back home and living the way you like
Best wishes. Stay focused and work with and for your family.
God's mighty blessings.
Be resilient, good to set a proper base to build on. Great motivation first time on your channel. Love your determination you surely inspire and motivate me to pressing forward.
Adrian I wish you all the best in your endeavors and I really hope and pray everything works out great for you . God will open doors for you he will do great things in your life just keep believing and trusting in him.
Don't be too disappointed when things go wrong it's just God's way of telling you that's not for you just have faith. Love your work keep on doing what you're doing things can only get better.
Love you my friend, God bless you.
Congratulations Adrian! Great inspiration and seeing someone with the same mindset. Can’t wait to see the rest of the vlogs once family gets here.
You are such an inspiration! God bless you and big ups on your achievements 🇯🇲🇨🇦🏆
Real talk. Was in Jamaica 6 yrs ago. Tried opening an account to start the transitioning process. Brought pay stubs to prove I've been working the same job for over 20 yrs. plus proof of my assets in NYC. Got denied with some excuse about the law pertaining to the money laundering act. Believe me when I say both managers are ppl I went to school with in Ja. I just flew back to NYC with my money and said though my family has commercial n residential properties . Ja is a no ,no for investment. Try having to do other businesses and having to make multiple trips, the immigration employees act like, one should not come back home, the level of harrassment. One even tell me that's what happens when you not travelling on the Ja book and I should get one. I responded ,
the U.S. book takes me anywhere without a problem only here. I also brought to her attention that we have assets there n my book specify that place of birth is Ja. so don't tell me I frequent my main home too much. I provide jobs each time I am here cause I am doing major construction . I reinterated that u can't transplant peas n it produce corn. I also quoted Bob Marley's song " Dem a go tired fi see mi face." Now that I stop working, seriously thinking to retire elsewhere cause can' t bother with the foolishness. Even my younger sisters who are in Ja often and would love to partners with the hospital n give free medical assistance to our ppl who cant afford it. Try donating supplies to a facility or hospital the red tapes make it virtually impossible. The minstry of Health should allow the administrator to clear these aid at the wharves without a glitch. We know better never to try that again. U gotta pay to sent it n leave go down to pay for it then gift it to the hospital administrator. SICK
Badmind is too prevalent especially if they see you doing too well. It's Jamaicans bringing JA down with the poor thinking about it's own citizens and members of the diaspora. It's sad and a turn off for many.
Bear in mind also that when and if those supplies are issued to the hospital , you have to stay on top of it to make sure they ( hospital workers ) don't grab for themselves and sell what they can. Everything dem hustle out a yawd, even when it is beneficial to them. Kmt I love my country bad and just wish and hope for a change with alot of things. Sad to see that people have to now resort and change plans to invest, move or relocate to another country.
Please go to Immigration in Kingston and get a permanent landing stamp on your USA Passport. Then you can stay in Jamaica as long as you want.
Adrian congratulations 🎊 👏 on your new family vehicle in Jamaica. Can't wait to see the family vacation vlogs. Jahmier will be so excited. Bless up yourselves Morris family. 🇨🇦
Congratulations!🎊 What an achievement for you and the family. Love how remain humble and use your journey as teachable moments for others in similar situations. Big up yourself 👊🏾👏🏾
Greetings mi “G”. Mi know bout salt fish 🐟 chicken 🐓 foot and all a dat!! I hit that like button before watching the video, just so you know. A so mi rate you. May Jah guide and protect you and the family. You have given me encouragement to do something in Jamaica 🇯🇲 because trust me, I’ve given up long ago due to how things run compared to here in the U.S. I’m truly happy for you!!!
Thanks for catering for all of us, the slow and the challenged. You're as real as they get. Sorry you had a tough time. Welcome to Jamrock😐
STAY STRONG MY FRIEND ,I ALSO LIVE IN CALGARY, CANADA. I SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇨🇦🇨🇦
Congratulations 🎉 You remind me so much of my brother.Family man!!You deserve all the goodness that has come to you and that you are about to receive. Blessings
It isnot only in Jamaica but basically all Caribbean countries do the same. It is simply a system that is in place that has an attitude towards people who live abroad and have that entrepreneurship energy to reinvest at home. The system doesn’t want it happening but sir keep that strong spirit and they could never keep you down . RISE UP Caribbean people RISE UP
CONGRATULATIONS
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
🇨🇦I enjoy your content at all times......I've learnt something from you that I wish I had known earlier in life but I will pass on to my child.....Blessings to you and the family ,
Jah guide 🙏🏾💜
You have taken a big, bold leap of faith and it’s gonna pay off🙏🏽
Love it bro thinking about same thing moving back home its been 21 years bless up looking forward to watch your upcoming videos ❤️
Congratulations dear. So proud of you my fellow Jamaican 🇯🇲. I've learned so much; thanks for uploading.
Blessings loving the vlog ,also love the way you relate . Keep the vibe going , keep pressings along.
Chef Morris, your love for God, family and all your struggles, hard work, dedication and perservance have made you the strong man you are today. Keeping pressing on and keep being the motivation you are to many. Can't wait to see the videos of family in Jamaica having a blast. Stay blessed.. Nice 🚗
Congratulations on your purchase ! 👏🏽👏🏽 💯
First time watching your channel love love love how authentic you are and showing that there is still hope being back in Jamaica...I too advise others to travel and experience a foreign country...but WE need to do our part and help in that building up , to make Jamaica the place we wish it to be while also accepting that it is NOT the first world country we compare it to.
What a breath of fresh air this Sunday morning here!! I always watched your cooking channel and didnt know that you had a family channel. Lo and behold this video popped up in my recommendations and I enjoyed your honesty and insight!
Good move Chef, sorry you had to go through that difficult process, Jamaica really needs to do better and put things in place to accommodate investment in the country. Congrats on the addition to your portfolio 😊👍. Keep achieving. Bless up uself 🙏🙏
And stop harassment of returnees. It's not only their country too but they contribute a great deal to Ja's economy.
He gave some great advice. I studied my credit card 💳 and built my credit now it's high
First I must say Congrats I am so proud of you and wish you all the best ! Dude I understand the foreign struggle , I too have been through the struggle so I know what time it is and you right about Jamaica needing to do better and help entrepreneurs ,who are trying to do business in Jamaica! You seems like a very ambitious and determining person and you will make it because you are on the right path ,continue to keep the faith ! Good luck 👍🏿
planning to come home in two years but planning to star my business this year thanks for the motivation bless you and your fam
Jamaica makes it FRUSTRATING for return residents😤. I had to renew my signature at the bank, they wanted overseas referrals, had to call my boss, bring my passport, my paycheck, resume, official job offer letter😒….IN THE NAME OF JESUS! I had to ask for the branch manager and just get proper on them because it was too much.
Join a credit union...I spend literally whole day in a line yet didn't get thru,you can't just even put a family member on your account they want your arm and lungs...before.
That’s another thing I don’t like in Jamaica. Not even getting a house in the US is as difficult as opening a bank account in Jamaica. I don’t know why they make things so difficult there.
Family is everything and I'm glad you're doing your best Adrian so just gwaan big up yuhself. MORRIS TIME FAMILY 💯✔❤🤗
Congrats on the purchase Adrian 🥳🥳

Blessings 🙏🏾 Bro keep moving from strength to strength 💯💯💪🏾💪🏾
Congrats Adrian. Wise move. Definitely Jamaica's system affects productivity. Too much red, black, blue, pink, green and orange tape! No fun doing any business in Jamaica. I pray one day this changes especially for the younger generation coming up. The land is such a beautiful place and we have some God bless people in sweet Jamaica!!!
I can live without fun, but efficiency and transparency are essential for a society to progress.
@@faithm2535 Bear in mind that the different tapes in the system does not necessarily mean transparency and efficiency. This is how some of these bureacrats rob the system by creating a lot of red, pink, blue etc tapes to confuse many and hide wrong doings in their own midst. So the more confusion aka tapes the more tiefing!!!
I used to be very optimistic about Jamaica, but not anymore. Safety is one of the biggest problems.
Even as an entrepreneur in Jamaica it is hard for us here. I live here and it’s extremely hard for Jamaicans to own anything. The system is a disgrace but I’m happy you got through. Drive safe and gwaaan travel on the gravel
Exactly, I really want to move back home but it’s too much . They need to do better

There are ordinary people in Jamaica who do are very well in business. I think you did not research the country's lending policy properly before you returned to start business.
The car is very nice Morris. Congratulations on your accomplishments. Blessings. 💛
Love how real you are!!
Good luck on your journey!!
Good for you👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽This Covid thing made us realize how well we should live. Sending you the best🙏🏽
God bless you stay strong Hoping to see Alisha and the kids. Just circle Jamaica man everywhere nice and cook up something nice we will enjoy it
Watching you from Trinidad, and I admire your vibe, you're on the right track, so big up yourself man.
Knowledge is power. Thank you for sharing. Massive congratulations. I am very proud of you. Blessings on top of Blessings to you and your family always.
Thank you, thank you. This info is so important to know. Because I too tried to to open an account in Jamaica while here in Canada and could not do it. I found Jamaica make it difficult for their own people and easier for foreigners to their country. Yes Jamaica needs to do better.
Congratulations Adrian 👏🏿
I have been watching you ever since you started doing videos from you were in your car waiting for the owner of the restaurant in Ajax I see the determination in you to do better. The line that I never forget is when you say you want to work for yourself just goes to show you what happens with determination.
You have shown how faith works. It takes hard work and dedication you really put that in on the CZcams community.
I'm trying to find the words to tell you how you give me meaning to keep going. I know this is just a comment on a CZcams page but it's truly heartfelt. Thank you for sharing your story your words are set in stone you are such a inspiration I'm so proud of you and congratulations to all your progress you have made. Yes Jamaica banking system should get with the times I want to invest in Jamaica but they make it so hard just to get on the Jamaican stock exchange. Anyways I love Jamaica and thanks for sharing your story what an inspiration. Blessings and Abundance. 🙏🏾💪🏿💯💥
Happy for you Morris, nice car too!I love that you were talking about us,that we have to wake up after covid. It was hard and that's when I was thinking that we have to have sumn there. I told my relatives and friends the same thing some really do and few might not want to but that's our home. I am just praying for peace and hope to retire in my forever land we love. I hope you will bake a potato pudding on coal or wood fire if your family will like it
Just start watching! It’s clean love the car. New subscriber from Florida. 💯🙏🏾
