Why are Africans coming to Jamaica?

Africans make up their fair share of the population of expats to the Jamaican shore. They come to Jamaica for a plethora of reasons, from the food to the culture, the music and business possibilities. They are occupying space and living in a way that Jamaicans could learn a lesson or two.

    Jamaicans and other African descendants in the Caribbean are most welcome in Africa. We should encourage reconnection and sharing of good things. I hope that in the future, the Caribbean will be formally recognized by the African Union as the 6th region of Africa so we can grow stronger together. After all, we are the same people.

    It's funny that you should say that because this is how the Jamaicans were in England during the Windrush era UK. They worked together, networking and helping each other and this included living/renting, buying houses together and also with African, mostly Nigerians at the time and some Ghanaian people too. In addition to this they were supporting their family back home. Some need to get that spirit again and jot just think about the self alone. 🙌🏾🙌🏽💝💝🇯🇲🇬🇧

    The funny thing is Jamaicans in America work together even the Chinese and Irish Jamaicans they have scholarships to help Jamaican descendants and students coming to local universities. They help other Jamaican Business, encourage financial support and even celebrate Jamaican independence as well as send back money to improve Jamaica healthcare.

    When I was in Kinshasa, my friends and I used to attend concerts to remember Bob Marley. The artists were actually Congolese, "Zairoïs", at that time! Those who, like me, who weren't necessary 'Rasta' had impressible collection of Reggae artists. Admittedly, I knew more Jamaican artistes than other africans on the continents. Truth be told! We have seen the like of the great Lucky Dube, Alpha Blondy and others! I know, because now, at 63, i can remember that at 20, i was crazy about people like Black Uhuru, Jimmy Cliff (whom I attended his concert!), Steel Pulse (one of my favorite groups), Rita Marley, the Melody Makers, at that time (Marley family), and so on. You would think "we think Jamaixan" , though we didn't know the slight rhing about the slang we wish we spoke! We liked to say, "Yeah Man" 😂😂 So funn y when I think about my youth, and youth and young man time; everything seemed smooth despite problems that occurred: political and all the BS, onnrhe continent. We love Jamaica, because Jamaica NEVER deny us! "AFRICA UNITE' ( Bob Marley) has always been like an anthem; it's like a prophecy of somerhing that still need to be done. Ya heard me! Peace on Earth!

    Africa is coming to the Caribbean, full stop. This is the result of an initiative started years ago by the then Prime Minister of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Patrick Manning. He had visited West Africa and met with several leaders. There was a reciprocal visit by these leaders later. Links were established and areas of common interest were identified. It took some time but those initiatives are finally bearing fruit. The Africa Export Import Bank is currently in negotiations to set up operations in the Caribbean.
