SJM looks like she's getting younger. I can't tell her age. Africa is good to this family.
@@irenedavo3768 No I don't. Who is that?
Because she is eating healthier food american food is filled with chemicals That is why Caucasians once turn 50 yrs old look like 90 yrs old man food
Ricky that hat Is awesome You like basotho people living in landlocked of south africa
Learn bantu languages #Uhuru Caucasians just age badly lmao
@@azaniabantu The more I listen to Africans and observe them, I get schooled and my eyes open wide literally and figuratively. I was under the impression that, that hat style was Asian. The one with the shape of a traffic cone. It is simular to when I watch the beautiful South African women do the Zulu dance. Then I realize that it is the exact dance of the people they called Native Indians. Which then tells me that so called Native Americans were Africans mixed with Columbus Europeans. Then I'm forced to ask myself the question; Why would they put so much effort into hiding our truth in other made up people???
If you are coming from the United States, I will recommend Royal Air Maroc. They fly from New York and Washington, DC.
Washington DC, USA - Casablanca, Morocco ---> 8 hours
Casablanca, Morocco - Banjul, The Gambia ---> 3 hours, 30 minutes.
There will be a layover in Morocco, and please, make sure you check the layover time in Morocco when booking your ticket. If the layover is more than three hours, the airline will provide meal tickets and accommodation for US Passport holders.
That’s good info my layover in Morocco is 14 hrs
I keep seeing your comments and they are so spot on! 👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you, you’re a wealth of knowledge.
Disagree about Royal Air Maroc they are the worst.. a racist and incompetent company that will leave you hangijg as soon as there is a problem.. Pick anyone but that company
@@christiankamga3069 I couldn’t agree with you any more. Racist, poor customer service… they don’t give a damn . And who layover 14 plus hours just to go to Africa? It isn’t like ur going to Asia from America. Air morac is horrible!
The dad is really enjoying this life. The hat and the outfit
I love how your family lets people know about the pros and cons so respectfully. It’s so encouraging to others who may want to move. Am so glad you all decided to chose The Gambia as a place to stay🥰
My flight was total 16hours, States to Brussels then Brussels to Dakar to Banjul I had 2 layovers 1 hour & 2hours last year fell in love with Gambia the people culture food everything!
Wow! Who did you book with? I have a 22 hour flight, 1 layover 5 hr gap
Same flight path I'm about to take.
HOUSING is the main expense in any city or country you live in. RE: The 1st question- The estimate of $20,000- $30,000 seems HEAVILY impacted by your family being large. You said it yourself, that an apartment for a SINGLE female for a whole year is only $3000. That's dirt cheap. $300/ month for nice apartment, $100 for utilities, $150 on food (if that), $100 on transportation, $60 for hair/ nails, $100 for misc = $800/ month for an individual to live in the Gambia x 12 months/ year= $9,600 for the year.
On your first trip there, that $3,600 40ft shipping container that you said is for a car and 4-6 bedroom home isn't necessary at all. Also, for anyone wanting to move, I'd suggest you not getting anything above a 20ft container until you've lived there for several months to be SURE you'll stay on the continent.... Spending $6K round trip on shipping when you realize you're homesick or wanna try living in some other popular expat nation isn't a wise move.
Single ppl, again, your quote is more like $10K to live there for a year. $20K- $30K for those with large families needing 4-5 bedrooms.
Probably around $15k to absorb other costs besides rent. And that cost also depends on the country too. Nigeria or Ghana for example are more expensive.
Also it depends if you’re going more urban or rural too I guess lol
We love y’all. Y’all are getting us through this pandemic, keeping our spirits high. We’re grateful!
Irene Davo in the US? Non existent as always
Man your dad just cracked me up! He's really funny. Much love from your East African fam in Nairobi, Kenya.
@Oti ugari Hi, Nairobi is coping well for now, i was so happy when the government decided to look out for the less privileged people in the slums giving them free water access by building the boreholes and also sending them some relief money for them to cope during this pandemic
@@irenedavo3768 Wewe shetani wa kusodomize vijana na kuibia wamama pesa ya chama... tuko radar yako
@@moierreur4872 haki huyu yuko kila channel kila mahali she is so annoying!!
@Oti ugari That's a bullcrap move...Why drill boreholes while we got a lot of surface water from Ndakaini dam and other rivers around the capital....Corrupt country indeed!!!
Our school system in Africa is still Eurocentric. Colonial education is still imbedded in the system. All over Africa,except Ethiopia and Rwanda. The reason Diaspora Africans on the Continent should be thinking of establishing their own school and in spare time ,maybe weekend,could hold workshops or lessons on Africa civilisation,spirituality and inventions. Especially African Americans inventors. On the continent we so ignorant of invention by African Americans.❤️🇳🇬🙏🏽
THANKS! My flight was Cancelled back in April. I was set to go to Senegal first than Gambia! I would like to go to Guinea Bissau too but now I will just have to give time, time. Maybe just come to Gambia then Visit Senegal and Guinea Bissau. My Lineage Guinea Bissau. A few weeks or more.
@@serinaobaayaa9898 learn Franch to communicate with the locals.
I’m not sure if my understanding of African school system being « Eurocentric » is exactly what you meant but I wanted to clarify that we may have a similar school curriculum ( subjects like Sciences, Mathematics, French...) as the Europeans (France for instance if we refer to West African countries that were its former colonies) but there are specific subjects to each west African country like History and Geography for example.
In my country, (Republic of Benin 🇧🇯 ) the history curriculum is objectively speaking, VERY well elaborated because not only we study the history of our own country but we do study the overall history of Africa as well. (and not from the western perspective)
@Gibson Ampaw I don't think so if all kids can enroll without segregation.
Also,if we must talk about African educational system. It should come from people who are from there,grew up there or lived there. The curriculum is so expansive that by the time you pass out,you have acquired the necessary knowledge. For example,the American school system does not teach kids about geography or (black) African American studies. That is why most adults are clueless about happenings elsewhere in the world. Some do not even know history because they were not taught. In Africa,they teach you African history,world history and social studies so that by the time you graduate high school, you know your history and culture. You can easily point to any country on the map and you will know that AFRICA IS A CONTINENT and not a country. Now,do you want us to forgo all that?
That's why Africa is free things prices are negotiable no pressure. I am so happy to see African American moving on continent. Yep in Africa u make ur own rules and you choose what u want eat. Also you can grow your own food buy lands build houses do businesses.
We love ya at Bag Family keep making these great video's. Thank you all.
Thanks for repping The Gambia
The value of ur family is so beautiful thank u so much for all of ur work in the Gambia and Africa God bless u all 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️🖤❤️✌🏾✊🏾
Teachers from the diaspora need to come over and open a school, provide private lessons or do their teaching internship at schools in the Gambia.
He said "what's that smell?" 🤣🤣 and then he said "you got beat up and then got your phone takin away" 🤣🤣
Lol. I laughed so hard i had to rewind. Im mean they just said it was safe. 😆 😆 😆
Let’s get her to 3000 likes! We need a part 2!!!
Love your family. Cant get enough of you guys!
You guys are so postive.
Love the truth and honesty from y’all
Thanks for this information! Your mom and dad seem so down to Earth!
I love what your family is doing. I got my whole family watching you and your family’s channels. We are from Tennessee as well.
I love how informative this channel is.
Y’all are so cool. Very inspiring and loving family. Thanks for sharing the light 🌱
You guys are such an inspiration💞. Every time I look at you're videos I see opportunities; God willing I plan to be there soon.
I can't wait to save money and visit. These answers were very helpful!!! Looking forward to part 2.
Thank you. Always teaching me about our Gambia
Thanks for the Q and A Keke and family, keep it up.
Yes, you got her to speak on some questions we all been dying to know
I’m enjoying you all’s video!!! I can’t wait until I can visit!!!!
Europeans did a number of Africa and her children but we coming back for her!
You mean North Africans
@Kennedy Kennedy From what I've heard from Nigerians, there aren't many Europeans there as there are in some other African countries.
@Kennedy Kennedy That's so interesting to me. I guess we tend to project our views of our countries onto other African countries because of the many similarities we might have and it's weird when things aren't what we are used to. I haven't been to West Africa but I do know that countries like Senegal are more similar to how it is in my country (Kenya) where there is a large European presence. I guess the main comment was more so about the countries more like mine. I know that my government still gives preferential treatment to Europeans over its citizens and I'm glad to hear Nigeria doesn't have that
@Kennedy Kennedy There are 4.5 Million europeans in South Africa and tens of thousands and thousands more scattered all over Mama Africa Research The Gambia you will find out that european men and women over 60 years old and older are deep into sex tourism in the Gambia looking for children and young adults of all ages yes it is true for sex and companionship it is out in the open sad and disgusting but true yes europeans are allover Africa CZcams search Google search will give you proof!!
@Kennedy Kennedy Facts are facts not antagonistic you also stated you never seen Europeans in Nigeria even though that may be true they are there also. I am not a racist I just stated facts. It does not matter what race go to Africa as long as people respect Africa people, countries and culture they should be welcome to go anywhere they want to go it is not about race it is about respect. Are you offended? No harm intended.
You're just so cute with some of your responses! Especially when your Dad said (" And you got beat up a couple of times, and got your phone taken right?"). Your glance, and quick whip: I DIDN'T GET BEAT UP!!! I'm still laughing at that spot of video. Priceless!!!💰💰💍💎

For citizenship, now there's a new legislation, when you arrive at the airport, they giving you automatic citizenship for two years and there after you get the citizenship certificate.
Nkrumah Shecku they working on it it’s not ready yet
Hmmm,who told you that. That's legislation is not passed yet,it has to go the house of assembly first and possibly a referendum.
African-youth exactly
Wellcome home family,much love

Wonderful video😍😍
I enjoyed watching your video very interesting
Love your videos, can you do at home vlogs?
Nice interview with SJM , maybe part 2 could be with Mr Rick?
Love the Pro Black vibe
Splendid
I think the average Joe doesn't have $20,000/30,000 to take to Africa. I believe the best senerio for those striving to go to Africa is to purchase land /plot to build on first then gradually relocate their. But need a liaison set up for travel, purchase, and a host family till transaction are completed. Then go back to America and work to save .... unless you have other income coming in.
Or you can buy or rent a house. You don't have to build
20 grand is a million dalasis thats alot if u have it ok cool
20-30grand is a bit much for a single person specially in Gambia. But she round that up just to be on the safe side. Depend on your living status it’s about 10 times cheaper compared to 🇺🇸..Peace and love from 🇬🇭
Follow your money! If you are going to buy land outside America you need to watch over any project once it gets started plenty of cheap places to stay in the Gambia. Don't forget to do your Research! Do not do online transactions for land or apt rentals go Airbnb until you can get some advice from other US ex-pats.
