Why Is Bob Marley Not A National Hero In Jamaica 🇯🇲?

[@chelseaclinton4535]

The Rastaman vibration is positive.The legendary Robert Nesta Marley is an institution and a true Pan Africanist who advocate for the freedom of Mama Africa.One love.💯🇯🇲🇯🇲🇰🇪🇰🇪🇬🇭🇬🇭

All Bob Marley's songs are hits with a message,he really deserves to be celebrated

[@MsWildberry1]

South Africa awarded Peter Tosh one of their highest honours for his work against Apartheid at a time when no other Reggae artists campaigned against the evils of Apartheid,, Peter educated other Reggae artists about the system of Apartheid as well as other injustices. South Africa honoured Peter and it would be fair if Jamacia should follow suit. Peter sung, campaigned, and called strongly and bravely for Equal Rights and Justice ❤💛💚🖤

[@Jamaica_Sun]

I've always argued that Peter Tosh and Jimmy Cliff were genuine fighters against Apartheid and promoters of Pan-Africanism. Sadly. their true and, therefore, more meaningful contributions towards the upliftment of humanity don't get anywhere near the billing of Bob.😥However, I do understand that Bob's recognition has more to do with money and serendipity than substance -- Bob was a perfect fit for the hippie movement at the time when his lifestyle choice fell out of sync with the tenets that were the basis of true identity recognizable with The Wailers, without whom we might never have known him. Though Bob never claimed to be a hippie, he was really more identifiable with that movement than with Rastafarianism; and, that helped greatly with his popularity and by extension -- his music. I can't have any issue with the fact that Reggae gained more popularity as a result of that. But, when it comes to fighting for Pan-Africanism or the general promotion of humanity's upliftment, there should be no question that Peter and Jimmy are WAY ahead of Bob. Yet, I don't hear anyone advocating for either of those guy's naming as National Hero!

[@MsWildberry1]

@@Jamaica_Sun Cindy Breakspear entered the Miss World contest when Jamaica boycotted it due to Apartheid yet Bob still dated Cindy. To me Bob and Cindy didn't care enough about Apartheid, while Peter and Jimmy was singing and campaigning against it, irrespective to the damage to their carers. It is a travesty that they do not get the attention they deserve. But at least South Africa has honoured Petah. Bob broke some tenents of Rastafari and there are many true Rasta that don't check for him. I find it strange that all the African content creators seem to wash right over those who contributed more for the liberation of Africa. Equal Rights and Justice for all. ❤️💛💚🖤

[@reneevernon3573]

Thank you so much Wode Maya for doing this video. I feel so proud as an African Jamaican living overseas! Jamaica possess so many national and international treasures: Robert Nesta Marley is just one of them who was so spiritually conscious about our African heritage, the corrupt world which we live in; injustice and oppression. That's why he was so vocal about peace, love, oneness, unity and repatriation to Africa. Because all Africans in Jamaica and the west are Africans living in a strange Land.!!! ❤❤❤❤👏 👏👏 👏

@@floralarrangementsbyraquel3378 One of Bob's daughters is trying to change that though: she's contributed a little money to the women's football team. However, even that may be seen as a business move. Imagine, a dreadlocked young man in New York tried to TEACH me about Bob Marley's greatness, and offered what he deemed as Bob's SELFLESS accomplishment of "sending all Jamaicans to school" Ironically, that same young man knew nothing about Jimmy Cliff who REALLY helped many to attend school in Somerset, St. James; nor was he aware that Shaggy continually contribute to the Bustamante Hospital for Children. So many Jamaicans with very little have helped our fellow Jamaicans through schools and hospitals; look at what many other artistes and athletes are doing -- Veronica Campbel-Brown and Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce, just to name a couple. Bob has never done any such thing! Yet, people are shouting from rooftops to get Bob named a national hero! But, how much can we blame the ignorance of these people when there are politicians who seek votes lend their voices to this ridiculous idea? KMY, SMH

There are several honours given to outstanding Jamaicans. Bob Marley was awarded the third-highest honour in April, 1981, which is the Order of Merit, for his contribution to Jamaica's culture. He has a statue and is celebrated at every opportunity. In time, he and others, if necessary, will be considered for national hero status. Knowing his personality, it seems hardly likely that he would be overly fussy to become a national hero. Jamaica is a nation of many amazing people. Why not keep the hero worrship to a minimum and focus on celebrating the positives on the tier that is currently in place.

A lot of people who grew up outside of West Indian culture do not understand that the vast majority of us are Christian’s and are not for the minority Rastafarian religion. As a result high society will not elevate any Rasta to a national hero. You can’t find a Rasta elevated to that status in any island. Not Marley , Tosh or bunny Wailer. Those legends are for the people . Not the government. I think he should be a national hero just as Barbados 🇧🇧 made Rihanna a national hero but I do not think it will happen for a long time.

[@Sweet-Rat-Milk]

True. It's easy for the elite to make someone like Rihanna a national hero, she's pretty, popular, and stands for nothing politically, she's not a threat to the political elite. Bob Marley was very political and demanded change for the poor people, that's why the elite don't like him.
