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.

I wasn't born there but my Grandfather's are from there James Alonzo Folkes, his father Quacs Folkes, and Quacs father Robert Folkes. Mary rose Manning who is James A Folkes Mother. I want to go visit very soon.

[@Lailan6885]

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!

Yep. Mia Motley IS Amazing 👍💕 Some other PM in Caribbean need to take notes

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.

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

Barbados is really lovely. I visited a long time ago and would love to go back for carnival. My friend who is now deceased took me to the interior parts not just the tourist areas. The people were very kind and friendly to me. Ooh I enjoyed myself!

You need to visit the rest of the Caribbean Islands like ST. Lucia 🇱🇨 and Dominica , ST. Vincent and the Grenadines and also Grenada.

[@Lisa-k5o2n]

Please go, then Africans will realise that we are not all Jamaicans. Or Jamaica is not the capital of the Carribbean. You will educate the world about how unique each island is, we have our own government, flags national pride. National foods.

Christmas in Barbados has a different feel to it. Beautiful and downright real. Maya really showcase Xmas day in Barbados. We used to have a great experience of Xmas and New Year in Nigeria in the 70s and early 80s as well but now the country has gone to the dogs and pigs

[@african-history-fountain]

Not according to the millions of Nigerians the world over who flew back home for christmas last week, and are in 3 day long parties and festivals in their hometowns as we speak.

[@ayilafola7156]

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

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.

[@cherylholder930]

Thank you for the joy you bring to our world. This was truly lovely. A few years ago you showed how Christmas was celebrated in a village. I remember it was based on a collective work concept. You built an archway with plants nearby and shared gifts with the children. It was so beautiful . Blessings to you and yours throughout this journey that you share.

[@kingslj]

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
