I couldn't wait for you to come to Barbados and you came for Christmas. This is the best Christmas surprise I received all week. I'm glad you and Trudy enjoyed !

Wow Barbados 🇧🇧 is an amazing island the people are what make the island shine , the friendliness,the hospitality, the culture, food and now experiencing that brilliant flamboyant dress tradition in Queens Park for Christmas is amazing wow the Bajans are lit 🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥 Rise !

My 88 year old Daddy is from Barbados, St Micheal, I have a warm love for Barbados, even though I did not grow up there. My Bajan grannie died, 2 years ago during Covid at 105 years. It's common to have centurions, on the Island and in my family.

There were 11 adults in the Ghanaian pastor's church when Wode Maya and Miss Trudy were there. Those 11 people represent 5 countries: Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Jamaica, and Belize. Contrary to what many say, Barbados is a melting pot.

In an online interview posted on December 27, 2023, in Barbados, Linda Taglialatela, the United States Ambassador to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean States who is leaving office on January 1, 2024, states the following about Barbados: "The quality of life here is so much better than it is in the United States because people truly embrace living." Wode Maya and Miss Trudy, through their videos, are showing that Barbadians do embrace living. I'm sure that on Christmas day poor Barbadians, middle class Barbadians, and wealthy Barbadians were equally happy because there is something within Barbadians that brings us joy and causes us to live our best lives despite our circumstances. That's my opinion.

For me, those Christmas trees with information about various African countries reinforce Prime Minister Mia Mottley's call for closer ties between the African Union and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) in order to tackle a number of challenges that continue to plague both regions. It reflects commitment and I congratulate you, madam prime minister and the people of Barbados. With love from Uganda!

I love how Wode Maya asked for prayer and how he got down to greet the little boy also. And how he explained the African diaspora is the 6th region of the African Union

Good on them and I wish them turns of Xmas and New years. 😃😃😃. My comments was time comparison between the late 60s/80s and whoever lived thru that period would sure know the nostalgic difference between then and now. Your millions of Nigerians abroad who flew home for the Xmas, certainly are loaded and surely it would be nice Xmas season for them but sure not millions of Nigeria at home. Ask your Nigerians abroad millions about their Xmas experience now and in the 70s. Endeavour to ask millions Nigerians at home about the Xmas now and in the 70s. Have a very blessed New Year

The Barbadians seems very nice people to me. Respectful.

I am taking my wife to Barbados in 2024. Seems like a nice place to visit

The attendance on Christmas morning is not as large as it use to be unfortunately . This is a wonderful Family ,Friends and Visitors event to celebrate together . Many watch from the comfort of their homes . Boxing Day is picnicking at the beach . ❤❤❤❤

Some people have beautiful spirits. He is one of those people. Keep up the good work my brother

Hello Woda Maya, I'm so proud of you for the effort you have made to unite our people. The Prime Minister of Barbados went to Ghana, to acknowledge Barbados connection with Ghana and Africa.

Wode Maya you are in my Island of Barbados I’m so happy. I just left there I’m so excited for you and Trudy. I knew you would go to Barbados when you announced you would travel to the Caribbean to go to Barbados 🇧🇧 Love you guys 🇬🇭

Happy Holidays guys! Thanks for showing me Barbados in the festive season. I went there before but this is lovely.

Lovely video. The Christmas in the park is a very good tradition. Such is a good tradition that motherland Africa should embrace & I’m glad that the Caribbean has been embraced by the African Union as the 6th region, according to what you’re telling us. I’m sure that having people in Christmas gear & walking around the Victoria falls in my country of Zambia would really look lovely. Great to see the 96 yrs old uncle & 86 yrs auntie going on strong. Love to Barbados & thanks

I really enjoyed watching this Xmas episode from 🇳🇬. Barbados is such a beautiful country and its people are welcoming.
