I would love to get in touch with your guess.
As soon as I saw Malawi in title, the level of my excitement was 100. That's my country!!!🔥🔥🔥
I'm Trini and proud of our fellow Caribbean people in Africa
I totally agree with Lincoln. Malawi is a beautiful country and quite friendly. As a Jamaican who has visited Malawi I know what he speaks of. Respect Lincoln!
This gentleman is selfless: he built his company and turned it over to his employees for empowerment. How many people in this world would do that? He is his brother’s keeper. May God continue to bless and prosper him.

We love you too
Hello . I am a Jamaican living in the USA and have been to several African countries. I am a general, electrical and solar contractor here in Florida and planning to move to Africa (Malawi) this year. I would love to link up with Mr. Bailey once I get there. I am so proud to watch this channel and see my fellow Jamaicans contributing in a very positive way in other countries. Thank you for this channel

Best one I've seen, which says a lot because one was a cousin of mine. I was not prepared for his impactful story. So inspiring. We Jamaicans are definitely a special bunch!! Lord I wish this man could influence a stronger bond between Jamaica and Africa. 🙌🏾🚀
40 years! And hes thriving! Its beautiful to see this
🤣🤣🤣 you are here too? I'm glad
@@remmykopa1049 mmmmmmm mm morning
@@rosetyson7026 morning my dear 👍👍👍
I never had to leave the USA to earn a decent income, travel the world, and now happily retired in my 79th year. Do I have the good, bad and ugly stories, but I keep written audio and video journals. since age 15 to my present 79. Journals are brain dumps.
One of the most popular Jamaican bands ( Third World) keyboardist Michael Ibo Cooper lived in Malawi in the late 90's and in the beginning of the millaneum. I liked his talk show on Power 101 FM, I still miss him as a radio host since he left Malawi. Lincoln Bailey another Jamaican on another mission specifically the electricity project will go a long way taking Malawi to another level. We are grateful to have black people from overseas to set up such big projects that will have a profound impact on the economy of the country. Big up Xavier Murphy for the great work you are doing.
I am a Jamaican-Canadian who in 2017 built a school for pre-schoolers in a small village in the south of Malawi. With the help of my friends I have built 2 wells, provided 6 sewing machines, carpentry tools, a maize mill and installed a solar panel in the village. I have a number of sponsors who support young people to attend secondary school, mostly girls.. So I have visited Malawi annually since that time - except in 2020 because of COVID. Malawi is called the warm heart of Africa and the people are very friendly. .
I did my basic military officer training at The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the United Kingdom 1994 to 1995. My best friend while training was Richard Chidzungu from Malawi. A lovely person. He lives in Lilongwe in Malawi.I can even greet someone in the language of Malawi although I am from Jamaica. Ule bwangi. I love this story of a Jamaican living there
Yeah you're almost correct regarding its been a long time but we do say uli bwanji:how are you...
Anywhere in the Motherland is heaven on earth. too many of us are misguided about Africa, but we should never forget that Africa is where life and civilization began, May our creator continue to bless the mother land, and I will be home soon.
I love the fact he carried Ackee to Malawi.
As a malawian am very happy to have our distant cousins living among us.
Yes
Wawa man Sipho - my Mchinji comrade it is indeed great to have them amongst us

I am a Jamaican, married to a Malawian, love my Malawian family. Visit once yrly
He is so proud of my Jamaican /Malawian brother. I am Malawian/vincentian and am looking looking forward to move to Malawi
Make the trip bro.home awaits you.we have just legalised malawi gold too....Will wait wif a big blunt by the airport lol
@@geraldjones8010 Amwene sipho nkhani ya bwino
I’m a born Jamaican, was raised in the United States and I’m looking for a African home. I’ve never been to the African Continent.. but I can’t wait to visit and hopefully live there.
What can't a Jamaican achieve? Fantastic gentleman. Thank you. May his children return here
And get shot? Naaw! Let them stay in Africa
@@MsPumps2010 reality check omg!
Lincoln has an unofficial ambassador in Malawi has made us all proud...how can one not be inspired when you listen to the brief description of his journey. Wow!
I like this interview. This man is well accomplished and spitting a whole heap of facts.
We have flight from Nigeria to Jamaica now. Last December the first flight from Lagos to Danold Sangsters international airport in Montego Bay.
Really?? I didn't know that! That's great
I never know they have flight to nigeria from jamaica
They have straight flights with Air Peace from Ghana to Jamaica aa well
@@yardmantv742 the flight is from Nigeria to Jamaica. The air craft is owned by Nigeria, they were the one was organizing it for years now.
@@fitawrarifitness6842 yes that’s great
Jamaicans are great once they set their minds to it and access opportunities. He has lived a life of purpose...such an interesting interview and so inspirational!!
@Mark Watson Which is his own country?
@Mark Watson I agree with you, but I was born in England but I went to my families village to set up my own home and make a little contribution to St.Thomas. Jamaica is beautiful but complex and a lot of work needs to be done. People leaving the country over the years has had its impact on traditions, culture, values, principles, history, heritage, skills and these have not been passed down. The result a society were poverty is endemic and acceptable, crime rate previously unheard and a change in societal attitude. The situation is only going to get worse as the West struggle for their survival because Jamaica on so many levels is dependent upon loans and finance from the West and more recently China in the East.
We are all to blame for the condition Jamaica now finds itself, as we understand and know our history. We understand how the former colonial powers and systems work and we have the skills and experience to bring about change, but maybe we have lost a levels of consciousness, which makes us close our eyes or just become armchair critics of the country we love so much. The solution maybe is to go to African and find ourselves and then return to Jamaica stronger.
@Mark Watson Crime is a major issue but the youth are left vulnerable to preditors only too willing to show them the way. We have to look at other factors which contribute to our failing in Jamaica. An outdated system of policing and police force, legal system and judiciary, based on the English common law, that needs to be restructured and revamped. Unemployment, underemployment and unfair working condition single parent left to raise children on their own, without the support of both parents or the extended family, overcrowding in houses, the lack of educational opportunities, skills training, entrepreneurship training, access to university, the lack of government or non governmental agencies, churches offering appropriate consistent support to youth, families or provide a solution where their is dispute or problem. And the list could go on but in summary, the basic fundamental rights of a human being in the 21st century are not being met.
As for growth in the economy this is not true, putting the impact of Covid to one side, the economy is declining and unemployment has increased. In the east of St.Thomas there were 3 major employers, now there is only one left which is trying to hang on for dear life with significantly less workers and there is no replacement in sight. We are heading for a big blow up or crises, unless something is done soon, people are hungry and desperate.
Chichewa is easy you can learn,my father was Malawian, I've been there once its beautiful ,people are very nice generous and respectful
Muli bwanji?🤣🤣
As a Malawian this makes me proud 😎
Great interview. Africa is the place for this century
Hi Greetings!!!!!!
I am zambian missionary living in Jamaica . Zambia is Malawis good neigbor I hope you visit there one day. We call that food. Nshima and Kapenta yaa man i miss that. But i dont eat mice.
God Bless you
Thank you... From Malawi 🇲🇼
Mr B interview is surely a successful story, makes me proud to be a JAMAICAN
I visited Malawi in 2018 and it was the most wonderful trip of my life. This interview was awesome. I plan to return and set up a foundation.
I hear that malawi is very poor is that true
@@yardmantv742 yes, Malawi 🇲🇼 is a very poor country however you also have the very rich and the very poor. So you see parts of the country where the wealthy and the expats live and its just like any other developing country. If you get the opportunity to go into some villages where the real people live you will see the daily struggle. What really got my attention was the joy, peace , happiness and love the people were able to give in spite of there circumstances. I have visited many countries on different Continents and Malawi 🇲🇼 was my most enjoyable.
@@chrisc1881 Yes, we are poor but we are the most happy people on earth. Sometimes money is not everything, all we need is peace and Malawi has that
@@tadalaimwa394 I totally agree 👍, I told everyone I could see how peaceful and happy the people are.
@@tadalaimwa394 there are rich people in Malawi too stop fooling yourself
Amazing Conversation.. Thanks Xavier Murphy and Lincoln Bailey.. Zikomo kwambiri.. Mwatilemekeza ife A Malawi (You have honored us Malawians). Malawians are warmhearted. that's a powerful and true statement right there. This beautiful country is a conducive environment for investors as well.. Well spoken of my motherland Lincoln.. Zikomo, Thank you Sir..
As Malawian am proud of my country
Big up from Sweden,Jamaican living in Sweden 🇸🇪 ,🇯🇲
Nice one, only recently I discovered that Malawi has great musicians.
I love my Jamaican brother s!🇿🇼🇿🇼
I must commend Mr. Bailey for the great contribution he has made and is making to the African continent and for his representative of our people. .By the way when people hear maize, they think of poor countries, but it is one of our favorite breakfast foods in the US. We call it grits and I love it.
Education is a wonderful thing.....so proud of the accomplishments of this gentleman.
There was a Jamaican lecturer at Kamuzu College of Nursing when I was a student many years ago, am sure she’s retired now, maybe you could interview her too, her name is Mrs Chalanda
Thank you for introducing Lincoln Bailey. Very inspiring.
Big Up Malawi. Everywhere I go I hear positive things about your country. Big up Jam Rock aka Jamaica
OMGosh I know that little district. Big up Trinity Ville, Coley school to be specific. When I first came to Japan pre-facebook, during the Hi5 days, I met a Malawian, Chimomora I believe his name was. He was such a friendly smart & bubbly young man who talked about God non-stop. He spoke Japanese & a bunch of other languages, not to mention dialects! He eventually returned to Malawi to get married and I remember sending a video message for his wife-to-be. Thank you, Lincoln for showing that wi deh everywhey! Love from Japan
A purposeful life lived by this man who has travelled the African continent and is leaving meaningful and beneficial marks in whichever country he enters. This was an interview that could have been structure to eliminate the googled type questions. Malawi was never on my radar until now.. weathering the distance (plane rides).
,
I listened to the video of Ghanaian CZcamsr wode maya in Mozambique when he interviewed African American and she said that she love Malawi so much since people are friendly and very welcome who called her into, some even not believed that she's African American..... Malawi it's indeed friendly country
My team and I was looking into Rwanda to open a jamaican restaurant but now we will look into Malawi more. Love this channel, learned alot in a few days. 💙🇯🇲🇯🇲
Great gentleman and great interview. Have worked with him on a project here in Malawi
I would love to learn about solar energy in Malawi from this gentleman. Great interview.
Get him contact...
Man this gentleman. Makes me want to move to Africa. He makes me know that's its possible. Great video. Love it.
Thanks for all this info. Will be looking to visit Malawi once the pandemic lifts.
Inspirational. Your best interview, in my humble opinion. I'm drawn to Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique.
Hi, I just subscribed to your channel because of this interview. I am impressed and. motivated by Lincoln. What an accomplished man! You did a good job. With the interview! Thank you! I am a Jamaican living in Canada and I watch a lot of content about Africa - the motherland.. I agree with all that Lincoln said about Africa and development, colonialism and the need for Caribbean people, especially Jamaicans, to establish links with our brothers and sisters on the continent.
What part of Canada u live...I am from Jamaica..I live in the USA
Sound like he made a home for himself and did not forget his roots.
My friend is dying to see Malawi so am taking him this December specially he wanna visit Likoma Island 🏝

I can’t wait to see it for myself
You definitely should visit Jamaica ❤
@@ArtsyIslandGirlJamaicanVlogs yes I was going to visit last month but this covid quarantine set me back, sure in future.
@@Upgrade24 I know right.
Please do
Another great interview, keep them comimg!
Respect Mr. Bailey ' Jamaica gives to the world, in all spectrum of levity, one Africa one people one love, home and abroad ❤️
My mind is sufficiently blown by this interview and the casual mentions of "I helped set up the ministry of energy in Kenya" 😅🙌🏼 amazing! Big up from Nairobi :)
Thank you very much sir for doing your work for your descendants that light in the bottom of the Atlantic ocean we are very proud of you🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Great interview as an Economist Mr Bailey is making such an impact for Malawi and all those in the diaspora looking to move to Africa to make it great ..... there are so many opportunities waiting.
He has reinforced my interest to invest in Malawi.
One of the best interview. 🇯🇲
We need Jamaican cuisine in Malawi. Jerk chicken 😋
There are some critical points made,thank u sir for enlightening us and making Jamaica proud.
Ian Boyne profile miss you Sir Lincoln. The government of Jamaica need to give you a merit. Tremendous achievement
New subscriber. Love the insight about Malawi. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾😍
Great interview ,I am a Jamaican who lives in Saudi Arabia and now United Arab Emirates but Africa will be my home.
Lovely smiling face and great interview! From St. Lucia 🇱🇨 and it's time to reconnect with the heartland! Za. 💗
Lincoln, I wonder if you can remember me, I was one of the first people you met when you came to Malawi and I was the one who helped you get your house for rent in Area 9, which I believe you eventually bought. I am so happy you are still there. At that time you were on a short contract. Now you are speaking like a pure Malawian...the accent lol. You are a success story.
Is there way to contact you directly, I want to travel to Malawi
U live in Malawi...

Eagerly awaiting episode.
Very inspirational interview, am really inspired watching these interviews 👌 Xavier, sharing with my family group.
Another great one Xavier i,m in awe just listening
Beautiful interview, very enlightening and educational. Thanks
This was an amazing interview. He really is doing amazing work
Good interview, not easy with such an interesting guest, just letting him speak is counterintuitive but it works, I’ve been to Africa three times and cannot wait to go back for a longer stay.
Great interview with Lincoln Bailey and his work in the African countries especially in Malawi. I loved what he is doing to improve the lives is the people. I wish him continued success in his new project.
This Gentleman Mr Bailey has sure made use of himself...what a blessing...he's living his purpose
First of all, very, very proud of you my brother. I am also appreciative of the fact that you are promoting Africa our mother land to her children. May the Almighty continue to prosper you with excellent health, happiness, and an abundance of blessings.Thanks you so much.
I love this interview,wonderful gentleman
Love this!!!
I love Malawi Mapenga coffee coffee. It’s second to Blue Mountain and cheaper too.
Wow! What an interesting interview? Superb, indeed. Makes me want to visit there.
Thank you so much for this so inspiring
I enjoy this interview very much, really an eye opener to Caribbean people. I Will like to visit.
So educated, knowledgeable and eloquent. Amazing sir!
To the jamaicans who really need to connect to AFRICA we had one JAMAICAN youtuber Judy-Ann Hines on the CONTINENT of Africa she teaches in Qatar but she's travel the continent of africa very regular.
Very interesting Mawlawi is considered to be a poor country
There is a Radio personality by the name of Lawrence O'Donnell who supports a cause there I think with UNICEF that builds desk for schools over there and also supports girls education seeing many girls off to college. Very interesting project.
Have been wanting to travel Malawi for years...Now watching this video⁉️ What a life story - And first time I hear about Malawi from a person! FYI: There are a world of native fruit types worthy of an outsiders review... Thank you for sharing this❣️
You are most welcome
This is great my brother
one love

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged for the Lord your. God will be with you wherever you go 🙏 JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE ETERNAL 🙏.....,,,,,,,,,,,,////
@Shepherd Bushir Prophet My brainwashed sister fell victim to your scams, she has finally stopped calling you a prophet, she's now warning others that you are a scammer!
@Shepherd Bushir Prophet A mother in South Africa has accused FAKE Prophet Shepherd Bushiri of ruining her family’s fortune. The woman, Felicia Sibeko, claims that the Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) church leader who is commonly known as Major 1 swindled millions she had invested in his gold and forex commodities scheme.
Love to see my caribbean brothers in africa from trini
great interview
Great interview! I'm on my way.
my mom who grew up in Kensington St James....told us that cane field rats were good for asthma and bronchitis
Yessss!!! I live 3 miles from Kensington St. James!! My father told me how his mother used to do that when they had a bad cold. He cried when he discovered what she did lol😂
Thank you sir. Your love for my country and other African countries is surely inspiring. Timakunyadirani
Beautiful story❤❤
We can't all leave Jamaica what about our ancestors who are buried there. We have to learn to live as a international family respecting each other.
Madam, Many ancestors dreamt of returning home but sadly never got to..
@Pauline Atkins when your ancestors arrived in Jamaica they just wanted to go back to Africa, to their families. Am sure a lot of their descendants wanted to go back and prayed for their descendant to go back from where they come from
Africans living 🥰 in love
Sadly when i went to visit my grandma tomb at May Pen cemetery,it was gone,so she'll be happy when i move back to the Continent, Mama 🌍 here we come, Jamaica 🇯🇲 is becoming a lesser safe place to live,visit and invest in,The Politicians, Police, the Gunmen, so called friends and family members, Don't know who to Trust,Scares the hell outta me my friend,that's why we're running,Grandma use to say, Ah Man Whe Runs From Ah Fight Will Live To Fight Again,people like me who can't defend myself from wicked people have to runway to calmer grounds.
