I met this lady in Gambia she is so genuine and down-to-earth she inspires me.
Yes, I also met her and visited her restaurant several times. I'm looking forward to returning there during the Winter months
Same love her to bits a real one
Big Up Jamaica and Gambia.
I can't wait to visit the gambia this year super excited
This is beautiful
Amazing woman. Now this is a woman who is bringing something useful in Gambia. Also, she is fairly paying her staff instead of taking advantage of them.
yes unlike Black acres of the Gambia does
Nice one
Jamaicans love Africa and Africans, the rastafarians, Marcus Garvey and other preach and sing about going back to Africa fr I was a small child I been hearing them talking and singing
Finally someone that doesn't need to go on holiday anywhere else but the beautiful nations of AFRICA. I can't wait to do the same. I love my people and wish I was woke sooner. It's God's plan though so no regrets.❤🥰
Coming back soon to mom Africa
Yes,my friend. Was booming in his business and they raised the rent on him he had to give up the business place and go back to Jamaica and start all over again.they know,who we, are 12 tribe of Judah .we, will rise one day.shalom
@@ceceilreid8929this Bible referrals of 12 tribes of Israel you and many others need to slow down with.
If only I could move Jamaica and Haiti islands closer to the continent ❤❤❤
Big up QUEEN ..... Thank you for choosing THE GAMBIA 🇬🇲! We are coming soon to you with numbers .!
I love this comment
My sister said her parents came to a country that they did not know, but she came to a country that she knew because she visited first. Sometimes we get push back from friends and parents about moving to Africa, but they did the same thing when they left the Caribbean for America and England. The difference is, today we have the internet so we can at least get an idea of where were moving to and we can visit before making the move. I will be moving to Ghana very soon once my preparations are complete, I've visited three times already, but my mind was made up after the first visit. Also, what she said about England at the start of the video is very true...folks, even if you don't want to move to the continent, why not invest in what is possibly the final frontier for people of color?
Good point
Nodding and smiling from ear to ear; what a nice interview!
Wow! Me too.
Cool nuh man!
Some African Americans feel the same way as the Black British, like we don’t belong here even though we’re born in America and the UK. Africa is home to all of us wooly haired melinated people.
💯
My question is why are the Africans not going back to their countries?
So much tear😢of joy 🥹 Jamaica 🇯🇲 and Gambia 🇬🇲
We must repair the breach Africa's children must come home and Africa must unite
Congratulations my Jamaican sister keep up the amazing work blessings
This interview made me cry. I love her already. So real and genuine.
Mama Malaika, i salute your courage and efforts 👌🏾 💪🏿. I like your passion for our beloved motherland. You are most welcome.
I also like the tribute that you have paid to Marcus Garvey by naming the restaurant after him.🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for educating the African diaspora about the motherland 😊❤
Any time!
Educating? She don't think there's warfare in Africa and villages needing water? There her about Sudan, Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Congo, Uganda... I can tag her in many videos of Black Americans paying for water holes in Gambia and Kenya for villages.
@@WebnationAfricaI've been watching you channel for a while now and you are doing a great job.
Fantastic interview, this is my SisTar spent wonderful time with her in Gambia, now I want to move back home because of what she has taught me.
Lots of interview with Jamaican Diasporia. I love this. More please
I don't understand why they don't go back to Jamaica, but all the way to Africa😮
Very good video i respect this woman 100 per cent everything she is saying is true
Wonderful interview. May those making these moves make a success of their transition. Relocation is not easy and success is not guranteed but with the right attitude and mindset you do stand a better chance to succeed anywhere in the world💯
The entire system is set up to have you live on the verge of homelessness on a monthly basis and keeps you from accumulating money so you can move forward. In the US if you are paid 8 dollars an hour your rent in those areas with be 700.00 dollars per month and more with each year increased by 50 to 100 dollars. If you live in an area where the salaries are at average 20 dollars an hour then the rent is 1,700 per month. The math does not work out with what is realistic. This method makes people live in marginal debt with no savings that would sustain you for 6 months so it is easy to become homeless and always living on the edge. People should learn how to live together!!
I too am a second generation immigrant and my mothers mother was asked to come work in England from Dominica 🇩🇲.
My mum came here when she was 12 approximately, and has never been home since. Says there is nothing to go back for.
Like this lovely sister, I grew up and lived in Brixton most of my life. The way Brixton has been gentrified is crazy. We built this country up and they use us and toss us away like an old tissue when they don’t need us no more.
Im coming home. Hopefully at the end of the year ❤🎉
Wow, people are really different. Did you ever have a deep conversation as to why she chose not to visit again. Was most of her family in the UK, Zero attachment to the place at all. I am on my way to relocate home and whenever I do it always feels so peaceful. As much as i value diversity, it seems to me most not all black people are always at the back of the bus when so many races are put in one place. You may be economically well off but even the lowest of the other races somehow feel they are better than black folks. Happy for you and hope Africa is all that you imagine. If your mind is open you will enjoy it and there is nothing like knowing everyone in positions of power look like you. Yes, the continent has challenges but when you mature you realize home is best.
@@muchit3629 If you leave a place at 12, it not's your home. She grew up in England.
@@nakho3550 That’s your opinion. It is still her homeland. Funny thing is the natives always have a way to ask you where you are from if you have an accent or if your name sounds different. Hey, we all have or make choices that we have to live with.
@@muchit3629 since you know it all, stop asking stupid questions.
@@nakho3550So you can make the decision about what people can call home.
Well done to Madam Malachi and her staff. Wishing you all success with Mo2 and continuous joy.
Thank my sister u’er realy talking like a Gambia diaspora the situation we are in thank u guy’s this a education episode ❤❤❤
MO2, I really do appreciate your simplicity. I am your brother from the Cameroons, I am building in the Gambia to make it my new home. I hope to visit MO2 soon.
May the Creator and our ancestors reachly bless you and your family.
Ancestors my foot, You have been watching too many Nollywood movies, can you name one of your ancestors, Are you living the African dream then?
Much love and success from the beautiful island of 🇯🇲. ❤
Big up WebNation Africa.Nice to see you now in the Gambia interviewing the Diasporeans now living there.Keep the videos coming.
🎉🎉🎉 another great interview!!!
I love Jamaican food. Please make a brand throughout Africa. I love the name Mo2.
I visited Malaika's restaurant while in The Gambia earlier this year and it was a vibe (and the food was great, too)! Well done to her and congratulations!
I loved this interview. I am a African American, who left and repatriated to Tanzania. This is a beautiful, kind and honest woman. Great Job to our sister.
Wonderful beautiful vibrations. Lovely lovely lady. I've patronised her business many times. MO2 serve Delicious food and have excellent customer service. Madam is totally commited to her customers as well as her staff, always aiming to please and she goes above and beyond. Fantastic energy always smiling and friendly. A great space.
Such a well executed interview thank you for sharing your experiences so many people can relate to. Let us take ourselves out of BABYWRONG and go HOME to OUR MOTHERLAND ✊🏿🫶🏿
I've met this wonderful, friendly woman before. Great food. Very interesting conversation...
This is a very good interview! I found her to be very authentic, very genuine in speaking about her life’s experience. Maybe you can interview her when she comes to Ghana along with her son!
Im do happy for her,black people please unite, we all we got.
You have christ.
Gambia on my bucket list
We need a Jamaican restaurant or 2 in Uganda!!!!🎉🎉🎉
I was thinking of partnering with her to bring it to Uganda!
“Every time we build something. They figure out a way to take it”
Preach
This woman has always been brilliant, genuine and ambitious.
I have known this beautiful woman from we were children.
I am so proud of what Maliaka has built and is building.
Wonderful and inspiring interview.
I am coming to Gambia and coming to MO2 to enjoy the good food and ambience there. ❤❤❤💪🏿👍🏾🤗🤗🤗
I met Malaika and her some of her staff in December 2022 and she was very hospitable. Her restaurant is amazing... like a hall of fame lol
Fabulous interview. Excellent, just excellent! I am so happy Madam Malachi mentioned the Namibia video produced by Wode Maya. That particular video took my breath away and she is correct, you have 54 countries on the continent to visit for a relaxing vacation. The sit down with the employees was insightful and emotional. You can see they are respected on the job, flourishing.
This is fabulous, I will visit when I reach Gambia hopefully very soon. Blessings.
This guy do ask some brilliant questions when he is interviewing someone
Thank you 🙏🏿
Compared to WodeMaya, this brother asks great questions ...his follow up questions are related and connected to the subject.
@@WebnationAfrica Are you Ghanaian and have you lived abroad. I always thought you were Ghanaian but i heard you say us diasporans and Ghanaians like you may not be Ghana. Just curious.
I agree
true
he flows well and listens very attentive
"Every time we build something some way some how they find a new way of taking it"...She is spot on with that and its crazy here in Europe right now.hmmm.
Hahaha. Go to a building site anywhere on Europe and the only black people will be security guards or maybe cleaners. F you know about building
Very intelligent woman....Ms Malika is a gracious black woman doing a great job in The Gambia. Great enlightening interview. Keep up the great work Webnation...
Love this interview ❤🎉
This was so good to watch. Love it. I liked it, I subscribed, and I shared. ❤
Thank you
What a wonderful down-to-earth interview. I enjoyed it from beginning to the last word. I agree with what I heard. Momma Africa is Home.
Thank you Webnation for all that you do for the diaspora community 😊 watching from the USA 🇺🇸
Rise Up to one and all... I give thankhs for this interview as i fulljoyed all aspects of it 👏🏿😍
The Proprietor Empress Mylika is my good sistar, I have eaten at all her restaurants in gambia many times... I have also been privileged in the past to have had my creation to be added as part of her dessert menu...
Mylika has also hired me to DJ at numerous events past and future,,, She is a real inspiration😘👌whether you are an afrikan born on the motherland or in foreign (as they say in jamaica)
May we have a chain of Mo2's across the continent and beyond...Marcus Mosiah garvey Lives On and On and On🔥🔥🔥
Hey Millitantangel,where have you been???Why no more videos on your channel???I used to watch and like your videos and also you cousin Ayesha Mae videos about the Gambia.I hope all is well with you in the Gambia.God bless.

EXCELLENT PRESENTATION.I like how she presented her views of Africa and Jamaica. Great interview 👍
You are an Inspiration!!
God Bless You, and all your Endeavours!!
I spoke with this lady last time I was in Gambia (March 2023). She is always cordial and takes time to chat with all guests. Beautiful setup and very popular spot with the Gambia expat and tourist crowd.
Excellent interview. Thanks to the host and trail blazer.
One Luv to you both!
Much appreciated!
I’m going to see this lady and her restaurant when I go to gambia.
She is an amazing woman.
Great interview brother.
Loved this episode. Thank you for showcasing this beautiful woman and her business. I only want to say that I have visited Jamaica and the service was excellent!❤❤❤❤
Great content !! Just subscribe to your channel. Keep up the great work you are doing. Bridging the gap. Africa for africans.Love the smiling coast of Africa. The Gambia.
Thank you soo much 🙏🏿
What an amazing video! We love so much your work
Wonderful to know MO2 is still here in.the Gambia, i am a viewer of many videos from the Gambia.There are so business opportunities there especially building supplies , or the conveniences the diaspora would be more familiar with. One suggestion to webnation please visit SMILE restaurant by Zendeya it's a unique place.
What a lovely channel. Just discovered it. New subscriber
My prayers for your business to expand in Africa and you shall have sincere love and peace for you in Africa. ❤
This was an awesome video, loved it immensely.🎉 I got a sense of community, inclusion and the workers being treated like her family🤗 members. Brought me to tears🥲 listening to her workers, talking of their experience working under her leadership🤝and guidance. This interview was Just beautiful. 🌴🤎🖤🌴 Well done!🙏🏾👊🏾
I ate at this restaurant when visiting Gambia. Beautiful lady and very real....I recommend this restaurant when visitng Gambia
Excellent Interview 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✊🏽🖤
Beautiful interview ❤
Thank you for a balanced interview 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Amazing 😊 interview well spoken..i love your passion and would want to work with you
African Leaders owe these Caribbeans apology; they've been abandoned for too long
Get over it, Sorry but Africans don't owe you anything.
Our DNA is calling us home. No matter how far removed, WE are children of the soil! I appreciate and love that she is changing the practice of poor customer service in Jamaican restaurants. I can never understand how people service some so sacred as a meal with nasty attitudes. It's disgusting. Customers are why you have a business. If we don't come, it fails. Keep up the good work
Excellent interview 👍🏿🇬🇲
Not insult it’s a critique for me, so that’s my stepping stone to growth in over standing that I’ve not seen❤❤❤❤❤
A WONDER-FULL place..great tasting food. Great interview. Give thanks.
What she said about the news is so true😂
What an awakening! She speaks facts! I'm a Jamaican and I can never undertand why some Jamaicans/Caribbeans want to run to the UK and the US! We have all of Africa and the entire Cariibbean where we are wanted and truly belong.
Are you living the African dream then?
@@BeautiesOfAfricainc getting there my friend! 😊
This is a great interview, thank you so much!
Strong lady. We are all proud of you. Hope to visit your restaurants, when you open in Tanzania. Let us get in touch. I could be your friennd in business.
Great interview, however, one point, I was born in the 70s in the UK. Many JA's did not see themselves as Africans and clashed with Africans in the UK, mainly Nigerians, especially in the 80s.
I like your interview questions. You know what viewers are curious about. Keep asking penetrating questions.
Another gold nugget. Keep it up my man. 👌👍
Thanks! Will do!
I know this woman very well and regularly eat at her establishment. She gets knocked back but always comes back fighting.
Excellent! An inspirational and encouraging video for those of us in the diaspora 🇯🇲 who are preparing to permanently leave the Uk and return home to Africa!
Thank you!
May our African ancestors continue to shower blessing on you. 🙏🏾 👍🏾✊🏾
LOL Are your ancestors only in the Gambia? why can't your ancestors shower blessings upon you in the UK, opps do they need a UK visa?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
y'all talk about ancestors, but don't even know your family tree.
@@BeautiesOfAfricainc HI IMPORTANT IS THAT CONNEXIONS IS BEING MADE. AND THAT ISSSS AFRICA.
Take action! Don’t worry about how things are going to get done. Just Be It! Let the chips fall where they may.
Good interview. I’m first generation American. My parents are Jamaican and Honduras born, migrated to the US. My kids are born in America too. Similar issues here. It never really feels completely like home or that black people belong here.
Are you living the African dream then?
What an amazing interview. A well rounded grounded and inspiring woman! Thank you so much, I’ve been looking to leave England and find a place I can really call home!
Great interview, all Caribbean people have had the same experience in the UK, all Caribbean islanders fought hard to progress but were pushed back. Time to reconsider options and get out
Hahaha. Excuses. Black people are done
Great job Webnation keep up the amazing work blessings
I finally subscribed😂 this interview as the others are great.

lovley testomony Malika well spoken and truth talk
You are really doing an awesome job with this channel! The content that you have been bringing us so far has been of great quality and excellent subject matter.
Keep up the good work🥂 and don't compromise or sell out.😉
Glad you enjoy it!
Africa has its challenges (like everywhere) but i do miss it terribly.
Well done Madam blessings
Great interview!
What a great interview!
Amen love it Mo2
No you can still go a State Pension at 67 years in 🇬🇧 Uk even if you leave to go to another country. 😅😊
Fantastic interview
My father said he earned more in Jamaica than he did when he arrived to bitter England. But after having children it was hard to return.
This is very true. What is really interesting is after studying British History for several years I realise that the British establishment has been "spinning" for centuries. My parents generation had a real shock when they came to England and saw how poor the white working class people were spiritually and materially.... many Caribbean were better off in the islands! However, we are where we are and Britain now has a sizable Non European presence in the island. Karma.
Sure he did...
I have a deep love for our Mother Land.
I've listened to every word you said and, I will come too!
Thank you wise and thoughtful observations
BRIXTON and many other communities were lost to the original people
The point about news and coverage spot on Western media shares parochial views
I’m definitely going to check out The Gambia 🇬🇲
