- When I first heard Mamadou’s story, I couldn’t believe it. Trekking across 7 COUNTRIES on a bike? I appreciate Mamadou taking the time to sit with me and talk about his inspiring journey.

What a remarkable story. He did everything to educate himself in order to go back and teach others. My Allah help you to achieve your goals. Amen.
SUBHAN' ALLAH
“If you have a dream, God will help you.” Mamadou, you're a divine inspiration. Faith with works. You made no excuses. Blessings and abundance.🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
I had a dream that my sister would make it. She passed away on boxing day. Where was god then? There is no God
@@bboybreaks6487I understand you view and I too lost a friend, he was like a brother. I don't think God gives things to people because they want it, no one deserves anything. We get what we get and we do what we can. Ask God for assistance for what is out of your control but rely one yourself for what is. Pain doesn't mean there isn't a God, it just means that we are being tested because that is what life is, a test. I'm sorry for your loss and I wish you a steadfast recovery
@@pufftiloe Thank you and sorry for your loss. The lady commented "if you have a dream, god will help". I replied i had a dream and no, he didn't help. Why you reply to me and not her? Why didn't you reply to her saying god doesn't help those who dream? Did you only reply to me because i don't believe in god and she does?
@@bboybreaks6487 No I replied to you because I could see I could give you a bit perspective from someone who can relate. Whoever this lady is, she's clearly set in her ways if she ignores your reply. I don't believe in the same God she does, a God that gives you whatever you want because a God like that simply can't exist. I've come to realise, God doesn't look down with hatred or optimism but simply watches with a smile. Too many people refuse to understand that God allows us to suffer to make us stronger and better people and if they can't understand that it is not my problem because they are out of my control. I do what I can and leave the rest to God, when I was grieving, helping people made it better, making sure that others can live a better life whether they believe what I believe or not gave me perspective. So my advice, take a gamble that love exists and do a loving act, help someone, be the reason someone smiled today
Believing or not believing doesn't change reality, if you dream, doesn't mean God shares that dream. God's plan isn't ours and when we can understand and accept that, learn to flow with life instead of forcing it into something it isn't, then we learn to live a happy life
Very inspiring. A true definition of "let nothing stop you" Humanity is all we need.
I love how he decided to get on the bike in the hope that God would help him once he was on his way 💚
Ikr
Yeah no one stopped him from walking up 😂
Не знаю прочтете ли вы, Уилл Смит. Я глубоко уважаю вас , за ваш поступок мужчины. Я из России, и тут я не знаю человека который не уважал бы вас и не был вашим фанатом. Надеюсь еще увидеть фильмы с вашим участием. Я верю в вас. И не я один. Вы целестремленый человек. Выдержав удар судьбы, вы будите светить огнем любви еще ярче.
With people like Mamadou we see hope for humanity. The level of gratitude and appreciation no matter how tough life has been is unspeakable.
Instead of asking for a passport they offered him money after hearing his story. That was sincerely touching.
Hhhh
While the world tears you down, you're busy uplifting others. That's the mark of true manhood, Will. Thanks for showing the way.
Stop.. They have a right to tear him down after how he acted and there was nothing manly about what he did. It’s good to see him spreading love instead of hate. Be a supporter not a fan. Fandom makes you blind. He’s done his share of tearing down.
@@Yomommahouseokay haters let it go this is not the place.
@@YomommahouseThe man makes one mistake in a 20 plus year career and that gives you the right to tear him down?
Nah get out of here with that nonsense
@@-THE-REPENT- welcome to the gen z way of thinking. Hold someone accountable and you’re the bad guy lol clown. Notice I said “they” not me I like will smith but people have the right to feel the way they do. People like you just don’t want to hold celebrities accountable so you deflect.
FACTS!!!!!!
This is great, Will. Put more positivity out into the world. I hope your life will be positive and happy too. You were my childhood hero. Thank you for the awesome times.
Deeply heartwarming 💚💚💚
This was very touching! I share your sentiments, Will Smith was my childhood hero as well!!
Ikr
Greetings from Scotland What a lovely thing you did for that man, bless your heart Will 💖
scotland?
Crying uncontrollably! What a beautiful story! Thank you Will for sharing!
Will keeps pushing positivity and I love it. We need more of this in the World
Il a été en prison alors qui parcourait 5 pays différent en vélo pour atteindre l’université du Caire
On aurait pu le tuer ou le renvoyer chez lui eu Guinée
Merci à Dieu et à will smith
La foi en Dieu l’a sauvé l’a aidé 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪😅😅😅😅😅😅
Will Smith has always helped me be a better person through his videos.
I never cared about what “happened” I’m happy he’s back
What a gentle, yet very determined, hard-working, God-loving man Mamadou is, He wants to become a teacher so he can teach others he said, This man will make the best teacher because he is not selfish, he thinks of the good that he can do for others. A film will be made about this man's life and it will be watched and it will inspire millions of other people to do good things. Good on you Mamadou, you will do well in your life.
That was POWERFUL! God WILL meet you! ❤
This is a great story. Mashallah.
Will Smith is for me a person that I understand that everything what I want I just have to believe and put hard work in it and then I can do it. So thank you Will Smith.
A wonderful story Will. Loved to hear his story. You are beyond kind. It really touched my heart. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Strength is definitely a part of this brother's mind as well as his body. Blessings 🙏🏿🙏🏿

Hi Will. We almost missed this story entirely.
Thanks for sharing the inspiring tale of Mamadou Safayou Barry. It's a movie we'd pay to watch. (hint hint wink)😉
We'll do our part and pass it further along. This story really does capture the imagination.
It will inspire many Africans today and in the years to come.
You could almost already hear parents across Africa telling their children, "If Mamadou Safayou Barry can cycle from Guinea to Egypt, you can...{insert action here}!"
One Love brother.....from One Africa News Today!
Will Smith, what a blessing you were to this soon to be educator. The journey he's on will be beneficial not only to him & his family, it'll benefit the country of Guinea. Continue to spread blessings to those who'll use it to The Glory & Honor of God.
Blessings & Peace I leave with you.

Wow, what a fabulously uplifting video. What an amazing story of the utter desire to better yourself for the benefit of others. All these things we take for granted in the wealthier countries. We are so, so fortunate.
Mr W. May you live long brother.
The world needs more people like you to keep the balance
This was heartwarming Will. This is what you're all about, showing the world brilliant, caring and strong willed people. Keep being you Will, you don't deserve this continued stupid hate over one mistake. People need to forgive you and move on, you're one of the greatest action stars there ever was and your career doesn't deserve to end so soon just because of one mistake. Hope to see you in more action movies, you are a Legend ❤.
I love stories like this where it isn’t about celebrities but everyday people being magical and presenting God in a positive and wonderful light. Well done Will Smith keep them coming!

This was awesome, when celebrities use their funds to help those that are less fortunate.
Will thank you 🙏 for sharing this video. It was so inspiring.
People be hating on Will, but start reading his book and that will change your mind of him. Seeing this fits well with his upbringing & the value his mom, dad and GIGI instilled in him. Beautiful story!!
So happy to see that circumstances hasn't changed him from his core values (as conveyed in his book).

This is beautiful and cool Will Smith. I pray this young man is successful in his Journey.
