Oh God, Big up Jamaica. Trust me i am from Nigeria, but Usain Bolt made me to research more about this country and from now just changed my perspective about the Jamaicans. You guys are very nice and good. I love your national anthem, every word has a very useful meaning. I hope u keep the future generation will keep the legacy going, and the useless Media will change the view of Jamaicans to most Nigerians. God bless Jamaica, God bless Usain Bolt and God bless the Black Race. Keep the spirit.

I get goosebumps whenever I hear this anthem. It's almost like a call to action. We are so much better than we have allowed ourselves to be. We need a better Jamaica not for the rest of the world but for us. We need to restore that pride that made us ever so proud to be Jamaicans 🇯🇲

[@mohoho8783]

I am Jamaican, born and bred. Having lived in CA for the last 35 years. The realization that is evident is that Jamaicans, like people from other Third World Countries here in the US are often stereotyped as weed smokers , dunces and ignorant. Truth is, Jamaicans are on a whole are a proud, loyal, generous, sincere, trustworthy, kind and intelligent people. We are also brought up strict sense of morals and are taught to value others and to put our Heavenly Father at the fore front of all we do. Through these basic principles we are taught perseverance and the value of hard work through sacrifice. And, so you all know, we value education and high ideals. Weed smoking is not practiced by all Jamaicans. Weed or what we call Ganja was never present in our home while growing up. Get It Right!!!

[@f_a_reid86]

I second this being a resident in CA as well. It's the intelligence in us that raises our heads high regardless of the stereotypical views. While there are some who deserve such descriptions, you realize that this has nothing to do with nationality but the of oneself and surroundings. Nuff wutlis CAs deh bout to! #proudjamaican.

[@ladyclarke9903]

FACTS!

[@kimoybrown9206]

I was reading your comment and full of Goosebumps.

[@consistentlyloyal8163]

We are no longer called third world country. We are called developing country. There is nothing third about us.

[@coreaccount4376]

In terms of weed smokers per capita, Jamaica is somewhere near the middle, with the US, Israel, and Canada included in the countries where weed smoking is more prevalent. Who knows how stereotypes are formed, but what is sure, stereotypes often say more about the psychology of the stereotyper than the targets.

A beautiful rendition and which is actually The National Song (For Schools) set to the music of the English song "I vow to Thee my country".

Awesome! Well said. I was just saying the same thing after singing these lyrics and conjuring memories of yesteryear. This was predominately sang at school events. While the pledge is a spoken vow and of course, everyone knows the National Anthem. Thanks Andrea.

We weren't afraid of crime walking at night so much as scary looking shadows in the dark and the " rolling calf" which I never encountered but heard stories. Which now that I'm old I dont believe.

Whenever I hear my national anthem it brings tears to my eyes because of politics I had no other choice than to migrate to another mans country in order to create a stable life for myself. On the other hand the Jamaican government sold out Jamaica to Chinese government. I now do wonder if the prime minister ever sit and listen to the Jamaican national anthem. Those are some powerful words but unfortunately greedy politicians and lawlessness has destroyed our Island. The only time I felt patriotic is when I landed in Jamaica and knowing that it doesn't matter how far I travelled to I can finally say Jamaica here I come again to visit my paradise home.

[@Dj87691]

[@haiche-caribbean1583]

This (The National Song) and the National Song For Schools "We Build Our School" ( not unique to Jamaica; it was really The Commonwealth Song For Schools in the British Commonwealth), I always loved. The beauty of the National Pledge is that it transcends the trite tenets of patriotism and can be spoken of with great meaning even by a non-patriot comme moi.
