Nicaragua - The Real Third World (Documentary)

[@m1r2ms4]

@9:54 he really meant Maras, not Murders. Maras are the famous gangs that control drug traffic from Honduras to the US and have caused serious violence problems in the norther part of Central America, Mexico and even the US.

[@Jabrils]

oh man. I really messed that up. Thanks for the correction, I am pinning your comment. - Jabril

[@m1r2ms4]

Yes, no problem. Very good video btw!

[@aleidanunez4563]

Martinvs Serranovic you don't know what you say, maras doesn't control any drogas. You need to know more after you make en opinion.

[@ileanahope466]

Aleida Núñez The Maras gangs originated in El Salvador and Los Angeles and have nothing to do with Nicaragua. They're control some drug traffickers but the government of Nicaragua does not let them infiltrate the country. This is one of the reasons Nicaragua is one of the safest places to live.

[@He_Menace.Music02]

Aleida Núñez en el salvador la mara controla casi todo de eso fue que este señor estaba diciendo

[@bernardsebranek8957]

My mother was born in Nicaragua in 1937, and immigrated to the USA in 1958. I was born in the states. In 2014, when I was 50 years old, my mother and I left the USA and moved to Nicaragua. Because my mother was born here, I was able to get my Nicaraguan citizenship in a few months. I have no regrets leaving the USA, and at the moment, I have no desire to return to the USA. Nicaragua is a beautiful country, and the people are kind, and loving. Regardless of the poverty, the people here are proud and willing to help you and share whatever they have with you. The people of Nicaragua have had to deal with the war in the 80s, but they have grown strong and I don't know anyone here who is not happy and they all want Nicaragua to prosper. The media, and other governments around the world usually only speak badly of Nicaragua, which is sad. I invite anyone to come here and experience the beauty and goodness of the nature and the people of this country. I love Nicaragua. It is the country of my heritage. I don't ever think I will leave.

[@leticiaescobar6428]

Bernard Sebranek I also was born in Nicaragua and I to would like to move back there. How do you make income there did you got a job there??knowing that in the USA you have a lot more resource.

[@bernardsebranek8957]

Hi Leticia. I was lucky enough to retire at the age of 50. I don't work. My mother and I currently live on her social security from the USA. In 7 more years I will be able to collect my own social security. We live in Nandaime, which is much cheaper than living in places like Granada, or San Juan del Sur. We have a very comfortable life here with her pension. If you are on

[@bernardsebranek8957]

Leticia Escobar if you are on Facebook, friend me and we can talk more.

[@bernardsebranek8957]

Leticia Escobar I don't work. I was lucky enough to be able to retire at the age of 50. My mother and I live very comfortably with her social security. In 7 more years I will have my own social security. We live in Nandaime, which is very inexpensive, but I am looking for a house in Carazo.

[@yeetyeetonthestreet-colinm1186]

This is exactly how all my family is, after visiting this summer I now want to live there as well haha

[@anthonymolina2802]

I miss Nicaragua tons. I've lived in the States most of my life. But I don't know why when I go to Nicaragua for maybe 1 month or a few weeks.. I feel at home. I feel more at home than I have ever felt, in my home.

[@user-mt6jt9co7b]

That's the same with me, whenever I go back it feels like home.

[@joahnnyr2102]

Siempre tendrás las puertas abiertas a NUESTRO hermoso país

[@m1r2ms4]

Also, @11:29, when she says "el pueblo" she is not referring to a village, as it says in the captions, she is referring to "The People." In Nicaragua and many parts of Hispanic America, we refer to The People (the nation) as El Pueblo, which is the same word for town or village.

[@randomgamerdude98]

Martinvs Serranovic i was just about to comment that lol

[@briggs9187]

Nicaragua has separated the people from the country and the government, which is what makes the Nicaraguan Spanish Dialect very rich (Or just different from other countries). El pueblo is the people (La gente), El pais is the country but also sometimes referred as the people too but depending on the context it could also mean "US" or all of us. And El Govierno "The Government", this is used exclusively for "Them" the Government, the ruling class that makes decisions for El pueblo or El Pais.... Honestly, it is a way to separate "them" From "US"... Back in the 80's the largest congregations During the revolution, used to chant, El Pueblo Unido, Jamas sera vencido, The People United will never be divided, Something I will never forget growing up during the Civil war in Nicaragua.

[@MrSholffmans]

I'm from Leon Nicaragua and is great to see people from the other country having good advise from Nicaragua, well done!! with this video.

[@erickm119]

Nice video Dude. Going to Nicaragua next month for two weeks, I'm bring my two boys so they can see where his dad was born and grew up until the age of 15. I'm 44 now buy damn miss my country, we may not be rich as in the US but in Nicaragua we have so much that we take it for granted.

[@PapaPete-80]

My kids are half Nica on their moms side and I make sure that they stay proud. Nicaraguans are my people. Never met so many beautiful, hard working people in my life . Nica love.

[@guillermone1]

I will have to agree with most of what was said. I work with immigrants from all over Latin America, and to me the best and most humble are the Nicaraguans. Very nice, great and down to earth people. I really like them a lot. I think it has to do with available resources. I noticed that the more prosperous the country the less human qualities are displayed by its natives. I hope that if Nicaragua one day becomes a rich country, they will never stop being who the way they are. They remind a lot of people from the Dominican Republic, always pleasant, ready and willing to help others.

[@ericschmidt6129]

Great video. Not the run-of-the-mill tourist video, but something that reveals the character of the country and its people.

[@JonnyBoi1984]

Great video! Last year, at this time, I joined a Canadian mission team to Nicaragua and El Salvador. It was the most eye opening experience of my life. After the first day, I knew I had to go back! And I am joining the team again this month! I cannot wait! The people of Central America are beautiful inside and out! My Spanish is a little bit better after a year of chatting with all of the friends that I made while I was there! 50+ new Facebook friends the day I left!! 💜💜

[@ChinaDoll305]

Thank you for your service and dedicating your time to help others.

[@uchihadabba699]

I left in 74’ . Was 7. 10 yrs ago I was going through some problems and drank a lot. I heard my mom say she was going in April. Said “can I go”. Sure she said. Changed my life around. I stopped drinking , got in shape. I’ve been back 6 times for Semana Sangana. I want to live a long life just to go back time and again. If life has got you down, take a trip down there, and re-invent yourself. I loooove your video homes!!!

“No self confidence “ we have confidence . We stand up for injustice. We fight! So different from what Paul said.

[@greekfathers8144]

Hi!!

[@Nica-Ra-Wata]

Nicaragua is paying greatly for the way most are, which is, racist, social divide, and the easily manipulated by politics and religion, I am Nica but our people need reeducation from the start, bunch of "jinchos" walking around looking to drink flor de caña and the such...

[@rogervallecillo292]

@@Nica-Ra-Wata hello. Let's say that what you say it's true. So we are aware of what the problem is and has been since God knows when. But why Nicas are like you said? Is it learned behaviour and if it is, learned from whom? What about those that have governed? The ones that are governing now, what about them? Do they, present and past leaders have anything to do with that? Should they share some or most of the responsibility or blame for the mess we seem to always find ourselves in? If you take a little time to study our history you'll find the answer. But in a nutshell I'll give you the answer. The ruling class, since the conquistadors always saw themselves as a completely separate entity from the natives. The natives only served a purpose. The natives were no more valuable than a mule or an ox. Somebody to work the fields, the mines, to serve in their homes and in their beds. No need for education. Keep them as ignorant as possible. Give them the basics and not more. Throughout the years that's what Nicas have had imposed on them from all sides. Liberales, Conservadores. Same bull all around. There have been a few that broke that mold. But the ruling class has always managed to cut it short. The latest example of that is the fiasco we are experiencing with the Ortega government. The guy and his associate's were once the heroes of a popular revolution. They fought for the rights of the poor, the 90% of Nicas. But if you look closely since their coming to power, back in 79, it's as if we are living word by word the novels Animal Farm and 1984 simultaneously. There's a percentage of Nicas that are educated and willing to have another chance at having a nation that works for everybody not the other way around were the majority works for the very well placed and connected few. And I'm not talking about a communist or socialist system. Heck not even the savage capitalist system. Instead a system that borrows the best from all types of ideologies to elevate every person. The problem though that they face is one that has many faces and when you have people in places of influence and power that don't care about nobody else but themselves they will use those weaknesses to their advantage. If you combine a lack of education, a very low living standard with a sense of distrust and selfishness boy that's a pretty steep hill to conquer. Lack of education breeds poverty. Poverty breeds dependency and servitude. Thus the ones with the means can and always will manipulate the masses. So, are we Nicas as a society the result of the circumstances that surround us ( a system imposed and taught to us ) or are we innately hardwired to be as you said a bunch of Jinchos that will never learn? What do you think? By the way I am a Nica.

[@Nica-Ra-Wata]

@@rogervallecillo292 Take a trip to the Caribbean Coast and you will see how the Misikitos live so differently from the rest; they live better lives, they speak three languages easily, and mentally more advanced, why? It is the freaking Spanish roman republic politics from ancient time taken to our land that is retarded, we need to depend in a more advance and progressive system or even a new culture taken from Denmark or Finland for example, and remove our minds from the hispano, and just become humans, get rid of politics in our land, wow, I would rather have anarchism than these pieces of shit rule our land...

I really like this documentary, the only criticism about it is that Marcela´s subtitles-translation from spanish to english weren´t good enough, my god that lady uses a beatiful spanish, almost like a poetiza.

very true, agreed!!. and I live in Nicaragua., Would not change it for south beach.

[@genesisorozco2872]

I was born in the u.s but my mother is from managua Nicaragua and I lived there for a year when I was 14 and I have to say it was the best year I have lived in my life, it touched my heart to know where I come from and even though it is poor people there are humble and it was WAY more fun than the united states

[@jocelynwolters293]

My husband, our children and I have a travel channel on youtube, we have lived in a few countries and have travelled to many more. I have witnessed poor people around the world. In most cases ppl just beg or tout wares with little interaction other than to harass you into giving money. In Nicaragua a boy (about 12yrs old) was touting palm leaf flowers. We said no thank you and he moved on but, as he did he asked if we were finished eating and if he could have some of our food. We gave him everything on the table. He ate with the hunger of one who has been hungry for days. Later he found us and said he needed to give us something for what we had given him. He made us a palm flower. That flower was a treasure in my eyes. He had little and yet felt the need to earn what he'd been given. We encountered such acts often, this need to earn. Though many are desperately poor, they are kind, proud, hardworking and rich in spirit. Nica is a beautiful paradise made more so by it's incredible people. No country has touched me like Nicaragua.

[@elihumansell4458]

I wanted to express how happy and proud I am to be born in Nicaragua, I was born in Matagalpa, Matagalpa, Nicaragua I reside in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania USA, because Nicaragua is like no other, everyone could make a living and be successful depending on the individual. I attended grammar school through a Catholic School ( colegio San Luis ), I love the integrity, innocence, and good sense of community among every Nicaraguan. I grew up in the city of Los Angeles California, and when I first came to the US I was very scare the fact no one here in the US wear Uniform, in Matagalpa you'll know which school you attend is base in the color of the uniform, true every single person works hard to have and acquire what you want but in Nicaragua you have to work harder though, and nothing is serve in a silver platter as many kids here I the US are accustom to get everything that Mom and Dad provide them, in Nicaragua you have to earn it and Know the value and sacrifice that took to get such thing. I am very fortunate to have had the education I gotten in Matagalpa and all the memories I have still in my heart. I encourage any one to visit Nicaragua

[@TuAmigoElMorrocoy]

I grew up in Latin America and now living in Canada. One of the things I miss the most is ironically the things that people consider "third world" the areas without tall buildings, rural towns where people grow and raise their own food, the vast jungles
