The government is no historian. That's why she is doing it. Would you like the governement to use taxpayers money to employ a researcher to fund such a research? If it did, would you be comfortable with that? This should be the work of a historian. Besides, that's why they have a national library with archives with historian documents.

Maybe so, but she said Paul Bogle fought for qoute "fair treatment of all Jamaicans" which definitely incorrect. Don't believe me then read Paul Bogles book. Yes he wrote and was calling to arms all black people in the spectrum of who know today as black people. Not sure if he also included mixed race, mulatto or whatever they tended to call children born to the slave owner or white overseers. Remember Bogle lived after the freeing of black slaves and there was a pronounced cast system. Remember a lot Indians and Pakistanes wirked in the coloniall administrational systemy of commerce. Here's a qoute from his book "Skin For Skin". "Every black man must turn out at once, for the oppression is too great; the white people are now cleaning up they guns for us”. Now correct me please if I'm wrong.

Jamaican history is extremely rich and I love that about my country but there was a reason Edna Manley didn’t use the photo for the monument even though she knew about it, I’d also go as far to say there were doubts before the first release of the photo which is the reason for the delay and the fact that the original is now missing is mind blowing to me. I do hope you receive responses from others with similar backgrounds in the photos for a follow up. This could just be the pivot needed for future generations learning about the national heroes accurately.

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

Thank you so much for sharing this comment 🙏 Well, I've been actually doing the research on this photo for almost 12 months now. The video here just shows the tip of the iceberg. So far the evidence shows that this photo might be very much connected to Paul Bogle - it's either him or somebody who was close to him or his family. This project is still in progress. Once we finish the research, we'll be making a full documentary about Paul Bogle.

Wow !! Thank you Irina for the time and effort you input in this detailed research. You have exceeded your already excellent standards with this project. On behalf all our proud Jamaicans, we salute you for your passion, committment and desire to do a deep dive in this matter to find the truth and bring clarity. Thank you. Now, go celebrate by having a wonderful Christmas.

Irena, maximum respect. Ukraine's loss is Jamaica's gain. Please stay with us. We need you.

[@sharonfearon3263]

Irina Irina. Great researcher. You are phenomenal. You left no stone unturned. Thank you for restoring our National hero. Paul Bogle’s picture authenticity. A lot of people think of Jamaica as a third world country. They forget that this was a British colony and that things like photography and indoor water and electricity was present in Jamaica ages ago. Even though these things wet for the rich only it was there

[@nelliecurrie5625]

Again I was glued to the screen stopping to replay at points. Big thank you for your research into this National hero. It answered quite a bit but there are still unanswered questions. There's no doubt. This is not Thomas Jennings!

[@joelgibbs564]

Omg Irena, I'm always excited when you're about to drop a new video but, this one was like waiting for a big movie to hit the big screen, trust mi, great work no sugar coatings around here just straight research and an open mind in search of the truth 🎉🎉🎉 bless up Irena ❤ we love you ( AKWAABA, AKWAABA) to Jamaica land we love, thank you for your hard work.

[@kearyfrancis1352]

Irina as a jamaican and someone who is into history of the island I salute you for a job well done. Jamaicans needed this after so many years of this confusion. How could the Jamaican government turned a blind eye to this.

[@chayden1402]

Wow you are a "BEAST" when it comes too journalism 👏 👏🏽👍🏾my goodness why hasn't the jamaican government given you a award yet. Excellent job

[@chestermorris1911]

outstanding piece, thanks so much for shedding light on this subject. As a Jamaican I grew up believing that the picture was of Paul Bogle. Thanks for clarifying the circumstances of the controversy around it being displayed as Mr. Jenning as well. Well done.

[@rachelannlowe]

Thanks Irie, you did a wonderful job. I recently met Paul Bogle’s great granddaughter who is a singer from England. Her name is Janet Kay Bogle born of Jamaican parents Clifton and Monica Bogle. She was awarded 2 months ago at an award ceremony in Miramar Florida along with other accomplished Jamaicans, including Rory from the sound system “ Stone Love “ She resembles the photo of who we Jamaicans know as Paul Bogle . I think you should research and contact them for more accurate details. Stay blessed and continue the good work you’re doing for Jamaica 🇯🇲.

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

Thank you for sharing! Kindly note, the living descendants of Paul Bogle cannot possibly have last name Bogle, because all of them are descendants of Paul Bogle's daughter, whose last name via marriage was Clarke. So, if you see a person who has last name Bogle - it's almost guaranteed they are not directly related to Paul Bogle. They might be related to his brother - Moses Bogle or most likely they come from a different line of Bogles.

[@donnawalker8937]

Thanks for clarifying that Irene. People share all kinds of misinformation because they do not know the facts. We are doing research into one branch of our family tree and we have gotten as far back as 1892 and still working through the historical documents. This kind of research does take time

[@lorrainenelson2484]

Paul Bogle had a son. Janet Kay Bogle is the great great great granddaughter of Paul Bogle.

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

@@lorrainenelson2484 Paul Bogle had 2 children. Cecelia Bogle (born in 1841) and William Bogle (born in 1845). William was hanged in 1865 together with Paul Bogle. However, William had a son, Nathaniel Bogle (grandson of Paul Bogle). However, the only descendant who survived after Nathaniel was Phillip Bogle, who died in 1990s. That's it. No more Bogles from the side of Paul Bogle's son. However, Paul Bogles daughter had many descendants, because her son had 13 children, all had last name Clarke. The land that belonged to Paul Bogle still belongs to a person named Felix Clarke, who was the grandson of Paul Bogle. Felix died a long time ago, but the title for the land is still in his name I have the title for his land and I have the original documents from RGD for ALL Paul Bogle's descendants. There are no more living direct descendants of Paul Bogle with last name Bogle. There are lots of people with last name Bogle who came from a different line of Bogles though and also there might be some after Paul Bogle's brother, Moses Bogle.

As a very proud jamaican living in the United states I would love to take this opportunity to thank you for the immensely important work that you've embarked on which is to shine a bright light on our culture, our history our people and who we truly are. You may have been born in Ukraine but my dear you are a jamaican and you'll continue to have our support and our love. Please continue the good work - IRIE LOVE

Wow! Mr Ogilvie of Wentworth High School was my extra-lesson Math teacher in the 1966-67. He was a good teacher indeed...

Ah great! Here is a question: What is the correct pronunciation of his name? Ogilvie - stress on the first syllable (O) or the second ("gil")?

[@8js4s10]

I really appreciate this lady's work and time she devoted to bring forth this clarification to this story .

[@gloriarobinson1869]

Good day Irie, must say when you undertook your" Investigative Journalism Study" you were being prepared by Higher Powers from above, to pursue this work in Jamaica, only, you knew it not then. Recently when I saw on the internet a photo of Paul Bogle being circulated from US claiming him to be one Jennings of America, I blinked twice😂😂, exclaiming 'what', 'who', 'noooh way is he an American. Bogles' picture and achievements has been taught to us in School, how is he now being portrayed as an American, but I was confident in myself knowing exactly who he was, so I was not upset. Your thorough research and professionalism brought him back to his rightful place. Thank you for your hard work, and thank God for transporting you to Jamaica to continue in this wonderful work you are doing. Have a happy holiday, you and your family.

[@lorrainejones2763]

Thanks so much for taking this on. Looking forward to watching.

[@maestrocaron888]

Fantastic research topic Lady Irina, can't wait to watch it.

[@lloydroberts2130]

Good night to you Irina, Jamaican born, watching from Yonkers, NY, USA, 12/21/23, 10:28 pm, great content , you have gotten me very interested with these Historical findings, also when I heard the last name of one individual in Jamaica with my surname, whose name came up in your research, although I am not familiar with that person it just aroused my curiosity if that person could have been within any part of my own family tree, the reason for my thought about this is just because of what I have learned from your presentation, anyway history goes a long way once research is undertaken. Thanks again for your work and in my opinion the Almighty Power’s has placed you in Jamaica to teach, inspire and inform the community that research is necessary and is needed before any commitment’s are made, again great content.

[@stevereid5615]

Happy for the research. So many people were saying the US was right and Jamaica wrong

Excellent, excellent, excellent research and journalism. Next level 🎉

[@raymundofantastico]

Irina, I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the incredible amount of research you put into your videos. As a fellow Jamaican, it's truly inspiring to see how dedicated you are to dispelling myths and presenting all viewers with factual information. I did notice a recurring error in your presentations, though, and I thought it would be helpful to bring it to your attention. In English, it's important to include articles when referring to decades. Instead of saying "in 1950s" or "in 1970s," we should use the correct form, which is "in the 1950s" or "in the 1970s." It might seem like a small detail, but it can make a big difference in terms of linguistic accuracy. I genuinely admire your dedication to research, and I encourage you to continue the fantastic work you do in promoting Jamaica on the world stage. Your videos are informative, engaging, and truly help to shape a more accurate understanding of our beautiful country. Thank you for your hard work, and I look forward to your future content. Best regards!

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

Thank you so much! And i appreciate your help with my English . Yes, articles are indeed a pain for any Ukrainian, as we don't have them in our language. This situation is funny, because I deliberately avoided using "the" with any decades, as I thought because decade is a number - no article is needed. Oh well, will know for future. Thanks! PS I'm surprised you've mentioned only one mistake, I've counted quite a few here :)))

[@raymundofantastico]

@JAMAICAWITHIRIE , well, I just wanted to highlight the recurring ones, and surely one of my main intentions was to give you credit for your work, which is greatly appreciated by many of us. Highlighting all of them would've probably been overwhelming (refining one's skills takes a lot of effort and time) 😄😉
