Beyond Cooking: The Inspirational Story of a Gambian Chef

[@masannehtouray9329]

Thank you Chef Saikou Bojang for your dedication, determination and passion for the culinary arts and gastronomy. We are proud of you

[@habnjie5342]

Outstanding achievements. I am so proud of you, Chef. The ministry of tourism should be ashamed of themselves for not supporting this young man's efforts. Keep it up, brother. ❤❤❤❤

[@makeupbygloria]

I get so proud when my son cooks sometimes. Makes me realise whatever I taught him he learned

[@mariamanneh4561]

Same on the tourism ministry. What a shame.This is the opportunity to put Gambia on another level. Support your own, This is someone that needs all the help he needs to benefit our own country, what a shame.😢

[@dearlife7771]

He should go to bank or the government to loan him money that how they does it in Germany but you need to 25000 in your account

[@amadoudem2264]

Cool

[@stephanienwadieiiamhybasia]

I need to check out his restaurant, next time I’m in the Gambia. He is interesting. Good he made a great decision, before he became a Doctor.

[@dearlife7771]

[@hooks634]

So proud of you Chef. Keep doing what you do best and the reward is for the young Gambians you have given opportunities to showcase our talent abroad.

[@SUMMERGIRL4500]

This is beautiful. The Gambia is very beautiful. Thank you for the video

[@lovedolphins5288]

I will definitely go to his restaurant when I travel to Gambia ❤

[@queenayacodobae9421]

I love him and have loved him since we met at Lunar Lounge. They really did not know his true value. He is an extraordinarily devoted and creative Chef. I am vegan and his food made me feel right at hone. We Salute him. Total respect. Peace and Love for life.

[@Ganodidit]

He really is!

[@Haliz2024]

Chef ❤bojang is one of the best chefs in the country. MasahAllah he is fun to work with

[@jannetgeorge4280]

Congratulations and a very big THANK YOU Mr Bojang for making The Gambia proud.🎉🎉🎉

[@MillhouseSpeaks]

Fascinating! We need part two some time in the future!

[@natashacommissiong9985]

He is the best of the best and not just in the Gambia. The food is divine.

[@waddachelsea3262]

I'm so ashamed you didn't get the support you needed from the Ministry. You should be honoured and celebrated for flying the Gambian flag high. This clearly shows that our government don't have a glue of how to run the country for development. Such a shame. But keep striving brother. Slowly but surely. We appreciate and celebrate you. SPICE HUB IS BEA ❤.

[@bernadettegomez3855]

What a ashamed for Gambia not supportive when we are telling the whole world our main source of exports/revenue is tourism. Thank you brother for doing your part and encouraging someone like me; am working on my part.❤❤❤

[@lionzion5407]

I’m a chef in uk working in big hospitality watching this chef he knows what’s is doing! Keep it up bro

[@sankabojang9832]

Thank you

[@pauletteriggins9843]

Well done brother 👏🏽👏🏽what a journey? What a great accomplishment. You are an inspiration, and an ambassador God bless you keep raising the bars high for your country 🙏🏽🦾🇬🇲

[@mariamanneh4561]

Amazing story, God makes no mistake, you make your plans, but is up to the almighty to execute the plan. This is his plan for you, and his plan is the best.🙏💕 love it, lets explore what home have to offer. There's no place like home. Together we can make our country proud.Congrats, more wins, more blessings, in your endeavors.

[@bahpullo3494]

Coming back home it’s always my dream ! I’m coming home soon to invest in my own home country

[@mariamajadamaminteh868]

Very proud to see gambians willing to invest, work and live in The Gambia. Maybe you could try and contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs because representing Gambia internationally is used in politics to build a nation's appearance, same thing happens with sports. Give it a try. Other ministries like Trade, Industry, Regional Integration and Employment or even regional authorities could be helpful too. I'm so sorry to hear that you are not properly supported. Keep it up with the work, we need more people like you 🙌🙌🙌

[@WealthBuildersCorner]

Gano you did it again, keep up the good work, and bring more and more stories like this. As a new content creator you are an inspiration for me, giving value to your audience is what you are good at ❤

[@Ganodidit]

Thank you! Humbly flattered 😌

[@chernoassanjallow8379]

Passion to the ladder! Congratulations young man, you are doing great and keep up the great work. I am glad that you are inspiring young aspiring Chefs to realize their dreams. The lack of support from the ministry is indeed shocking and disheartening 😢 Misplaced priorities!

[@ous9296]

People like him need ti be supported. Our government is always like this. If you are waiting for them to support you then you will forever wait

[@musajeng7055]

Next time I come to Gambia I will definitely come to your restaurant insha Allah.

[@mamsitunz2638]

AMAZING STORY

[@Me-wd7ui]

Yes I agree a big shame on the ministry of Tourism, but also we the locals as individuals. Is high time we put the finger back to our own selves. Let's go out and eat at our own brothers and restaurants, that's the vital way of supporting him and any. We are very good typing the goods lol, but failing to show up. I have to know this guys place, in shaa Allah go get my plate there.

[@elizabethtamufor3743]

Fantastic testimony and inspiration for development in food, culture and tourism. Fantastic ambassador for Africans and wealth development for tomorrow's generation 👍👏🤓🌟🤴🎁💯%

[@bababobb3400]

Definitely Gambia needs to focus on this man congrats 🎉 brother

[@pams5488]

This guy is so right. A tropical climate and beautiful beaches are not the only selling points for The Gambia’s tourism. I hope the ministry of tourism start looking his way as they have a lot to gain from his efforts.

[@omarsey1251]

YOU GO BOY

[@baimustapha]

Keep bringing the inspiring stories bro 🎊

[@Ganodidit]

Sure thing brother

[@palaminceesay9642]

Where there is a challenge there is an opportunity. Now my message here is for all Gano did it subscribers what opportunity does saikous challenge pose and how can the Gambia tap into it. Forget the government of the Day as they have time an again shown how incompetent they are. I want all the best minds to harness what they can and of doable ideas to propel team Saikou and turn his challenges into viable business opportunities for decades to come in the Gambia. Your ideas please. I am waiting and listening guys don't let me down.

[@kiradaz]

From wanting to become a doctor to a chef. Something went wrong somewhere. But it's good that he managed to land on his feet. Perhaps he could not continue paying the high tuition fees with no support. No amount of part time work will allow you to pay for tuition. food and living expenses. And your actual academics will suffer greatly with having to spread yourself thin. But it's good he managed to make things work for him somehow.

[@khadijatop8145]

Very inspiring!

Respect brother😊❤

He was also involved in to DJ for a while

[@africanqueenmo]

The problem is the Education system that is from colonialisn and which elevates white collar professions. Food tourism IS the reason why people travel to Morocco India Middle East and South America. We must encourage youth to pursue these courses.

[@c0ntehlamin522]

My only favourite chef 👩‍🍳

[@bgsonsthriving.]

❤❤❤

[@Pepe55590]

In Gambia 90% of food it’s import very sad because local people are very very lazy, I was in coco ocean for 3 weeks and see around everything it’s import from eggs papaya banana bread

Noted with thanks.

[@omarcamara192]

[@noname-ph4li]

Gambia is not lucky. We have an incompetent and arrogant man running the ministry of tourism and culture. Chef Bojang should be an asset for the ministry in selling destination Gambia

[@adamabah1035]

Where is the restaurant based?

[@Ganodidit]

[@ibrahimkanyi6476]

Gano but i show you in the video you were dealing with Ebbeh 😂

[@Alexyanga1]

Honestly the ministry of tourism should really do something about this

[@queenayacodobae9421]

Spice what? You ate that word.

[@shaunbarry4325]

That country is a mess!! From The president to The ministries all are useless. Thank you Chef Bojang 🎊

[@jannetgeorge4280]

A very big SHAME to the Minister of Tourism! The worst minister of Tourism Gambia has ever got. So so sad!

[@annadibba7905]

do not rely on african governments..they r the reason we are not doing so well. its on us individuals to develop our continents. just look at Dante spearheading nigerias first oil refinery.

No support and hope for Gambian youths this is why they all leaving the country

[@mariamatouray111]

Damnnn what a shame

He was definitely not a License Doctor in UK. Trying to become a doctor and being one, is different. I know him well😅😅

[@kanamajohn219]

Set the f up

[@sankabojang9832]

Not even completed the medical field. I but happy still that I did something different

[@chronixxfan8701]

Oh, no doubt that you never gave up and ventured into something different and amazing. Im just correcting Gano for not getting his facts straight.

[@NoelBrowne-yq1ht]

I am always really proud of those Africans that take their pride, and skills back to where it all started"HOME" Those that see the West as better than back home. They're lying. The Westernized countries are set up to work you to death without any happiness. In the west, you work and work and work and work for why?

[@alloyudenkolo2952]

Good work. I need your contact please . Thanks. From the UK
