This made me cry 😭😭 may God help us Allah amin
the reason was much of Africa is the way it is is because Africans leave to live in Europe or America and forget about coming back africa to dedicate time money and resources they gained into actually building africa so africans can make a living there and won't need to reply on hello from the colonizers.
3:30 They all look so excited to be there!
Emotional story 😢
Racism has been mankinds most dangerous virus that moves on from one human to another. 😮
They blame France for their failures in life? Pathetic
They love smoking non stop.
The reason his 2 brothers no longer communicate back to family in Gambia is because they are in an even worse situation in Europe than back home in Gambia, but they are to embarrassed to tell the family back home that Europe is as big a failure today as Gambia itself.
This is FACT ….
I am European born & bred but left the EU 12 years ago because life became impossible for me to survive anymore.
What chance does an uneducated African stand. I will tell u in truth, ZERO.
i like how they offer everyone business opportunities ,thats hard !!
I really fell sorry for you paabi stay strong always bro 😢😢😢
You guys should stop wearing sunglasses, you are blocking your 3rd eye, hence why you smoke like Europeans and think like Europeans and why you spray deodorant on your clothes like Europeans, you are not European
The father putting his hopes on a practically helpless son is a form of emotional blackmail. What is the father himself doing to sustain his family? They keep saying the brothers abroad are not taking care of them. They think once a person lands abroad, money starts flowing. Clearly the brothers are still struggling themselves and are not in a position to help.
That said, Paabi doesn’t appear serious to me. Spending money on clothes, clearly cigarettes. You think countries that grant asylum and refugee status don’t know how to select? Of course you have the ones who will be liabilities but most are serious about doing well financially.
Long story short….. it’s not everything glitter is gold .
Just look at the faces when they're telling them to set up a business or go back to school. Some of these jokers can't even be bothered to not fall asleep. When that one guy said 'follow our dream' he meant 'chase free European money'. No drive, no ambition. Not talking big time career here. That's just not for everyone. But these guys are expecting for others to take care of them for life. Like the brats they are.
With this attitude and mentality, am afraid that if you make it to Europe you will not do better saying that you have two brothers here but are not doing anything is typical mentality of many Gambians as if there is a tree where money will grow
Not all are successful….Libya is very dangerous place ..please Barrow must start to utilize his youth…instead of his belly
Master p
“Only few of them make it” looks like they have all make it through 🫣🤦♂️😂😂
This is all that Americans ask, that you stay in your country and make your country better, learn how to start a business, stop wanting to run to another country, America is overwhelmed with migrants, you will be homeless without a work visa if you come here. Be strong and of courage, turn to Jesus Christ in prayer, he will fill you with his Holy Spirit and give you the power to overcome.
Paabi has no interest in doing anything in Gambia, his interest is to travel to Europe, and sadly it is a poor choice for him. His father also influenced him to go to Europe just because his other children are not sending money at home, I weep for him, his other colleague made it because he has decided to settle at home. It is the mindset, I am not sure paabi can still make it even if he gets to Italy as he mentioned.
It's crazy with all the risks what can 3000 do for me It's crazy you no😢😢😢
Alhamdu lillah
There must educate young men in Gambia not to go to Europe especially if they dont speak the language, only for studiesthey should leave differently thx risk become drug dealers or married for papers or both.
Europeans weren't deported when they came to steal land and resources
…what they spend for this journey cost mostlikely much more than 1000 Euro and in plus a lot of sacrifices and pain…
Being from France, I can tell you that when he says the French government pays the Algerian government to stop them is total BS!
The street where I live is crowded with African illegal immigrants from all over western Africa. And they enjoy life on a daily basis. They do not work but do not seem to care a bit.
So, please, be honest!
The people who have been hanging out here for years have never been bothered by police or regular inhabitants of those streets I am mentioning.
If some of you were naive enough to think money would fall from the sky just by landing in France, well, sorry but you were wrong.
Every country and government deal with their own problems.
And every country and government operates with taxpayers' money.
When there is no more money to distribute, what is a country supposed to do?
His smoking in front of his elders is quite disrespectful.
Every Gambian in the UK I have met was a drug dealer😂
Good we don't want you here.
Isn’t it so unfortunate that, white peoples unprovoked colonized us, left us in a mess, then they refuse to acknowledge what they’ve done to us and pay Arabs to protect the borders (by killing Africans) in order to stop immigration?
I hope a Gambia man messages me!! I will bring him to America to live!
I know gambians here in the netherlands. Some of them are illegal and very poor and sometimes homeless. When you are legal here and got children than you nearly dont have money left to send to family. The idea that we are all ATM's is ridiculess.
