Jamaica is a great nation; the name JAMAICA , sells globally. Jamaica is so popular and well known around the world that many identify themselves as Jamaicans when they are not. A land of beauty, geniuses, pioneers, a land of “No Problem “ . Everyone wants a piece of Jamaica, so Jamaicans beware when foreign entities try to demonize Jamaica to keep you out and take over one of the most intriguing, beautiful, friendly, talented and culturally rich Caribbean islands. Jamaica , land we love.

Jamaica is not just Africans or Israelites as you claim. The Tianos, Spanish, Africans, the Coolies, chinese, were here living in the hills of Jamaica. The English was the last ruler.. the Lebanese, Syrians, Jews all came here running from persecution in the middle east. They all set up stores in the towns and ciries selling clothe, harberdasheries, drugs, and Jewels . They open bakies, bars, factories, grocery shops , motels, churches, and private schools Although the blacks were treated with hate, prejudice, scorn and jealousy, they rise and became more daminant . They stood their ground and take control of this Island . They are more aggressive, resilant, and persistant than the other inhabitants of the Island. They inter marry each other hence producing a mixture of all races..which make us so unique and peculiar. Out of many nations Jamaica became one people. God bless Jamaica always.
Proud to be Jamaican 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

A few laws, such as the Employment (Equal Pay for Men and Women) Act of 1975, which mandates that men and women be paid equally for equal labour, are among the few in Jamaica that forbid discrimination against women. Nonetheless, a 2023 editorial in the Jamaica Gleaner claims that women in Jamaica make 61% of what males do, a 39% difference. The widespread occurrence of men earning more than women is the cause of this.

Jamaica will also harness a new advanced Spirituality that encompasses unconditional love for everyone, peace that cannot be challenged by anyone or anything and the most harmonious living coming from a state of oppression, crime and the only country in the world where there are Christian churches per square mile.

Yes, the Manchester Club, also called the Manchester Country Club, is situated in Mandeville, Jamaica, and is the oldest golf course in the Western Hemisphere. Founded in 1865, the 55-acre course features 18 tee boxes and nine greens. Situated almost 2,000 feet above sea level in the undulating hills of Manchester, this course is regarded as one of Jamaica's most picturesque.
I'm surprised he left out Jamaica's most striking appeal, its natural beauty and highly varied topography.

For because of sin, humans have become imperfect in their ways and thoughts, fallen.. helplessly into the pattern of the enemy of man. ❤ Just like Christ, i will forgive and do for them as i would like to be forgiven.
