  • Such a nice young man selling the breadfruit I like how he believe in God
  • Even when Christ returns,some people will be out selling and buying 🤦🏾‍♂️ watch.
  • Young man, if you die and leave your family, they will be suffering for a long time. I am sure that your family would rather have you alive than have to bury you. Life is too precious to risk it intentionally.

    When God is in the vessel smile at the storm
  • EARNESTLY PRAYING FOR MY BEAUTIFUL JAMAICAN PEOPLE DEM. RUN WEH BERYL‼️‼️‼️🪘🪘🪘🔥🔥🔥
  • I was four years old when hurricane Gilbert hit Jamaica. It was very scary in Wilson's Run, Trelawny. BUT the people of Jamaica that I know are prayer warriors, we prayed all day and night for the hurricance to pass. Prayer works: As I sit here, Holy Father who are in Heaven please shine your loving mercy on this island of Jamaica, protect my grandmother, I profess in the name of the almighty God the bringer of life, the one in charge let Beryl pass over Jamaica, I say these words in Jesus name.

    Respect for these people who live to such a survival level that they have to hustle their goods even if a hurricane is close by. Beautiful vegetables and fruits. Life goes on and I might be lucky. This is the spirit that no social programs or media information panels with well coiffed gents and ladies would stop.

    Mi a listen but mi mind just a focus on the knife weh she a use a dig out har nails. Same knife weh a go use cut the produce 🫠🫠🫠
  • The fact that citizens believe they have to take chances with a hurricane because they have to be living day-to-day to feed themselves and their children should be telling the wider society and the government that something definitely needs to be done... The economy in Jamaica is supposed to be booming according to the metrics being boasted about so there's no reason each and every Jamaican shouldn't be able to at least survive comfortably, once given the opportunity to have gainful employment and a standard of living that is attainable. Leadership, role models, education, healthcare. These are a few of the things that need to be bolstered.
  • I know we have to hustle: but God said "In all things use wisdom" Remember it's also going to be costly for your loved ones to bury you!
  • U know seh mama strong like Beryl. Yuh think it can move her. She shall not be moved😂! Never a dull moment in JA.
  • “He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.”

    Nothing like being hard working here. Respect nature and go indoors while lasts ! This reminds me of a Nigerian actor who just drowned in River Niger while crossing the river to shoot a movie without a life jacket. He even made a video while on the boat saying " Guys this is the risk we take to entertain you". He was even telling the guy that was riding the boat to please slow down because he is an only child and he has 3 kids to care for. He drowned the following day crossing the river the second time snd 3 other crew members too. God bless the people of Jamaica and we praying for a restoration in the land ❤
  • Respect to Jamaicans. They know no fear.. Jamaica land we love🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
  • Who will be going out to buy goods in a hurricane? Listen and be wise.
