🇸🇱 Saying Sierra Leone doesn’t have clean water at all is an exaggeration. Clean water is available in many places across the country—let’s be fair with the facts. 💧

Hmm I just left Sierra Leone and not every one is living in absolute poverty like he is exaggerating some of these things. Like I get what he is saying but clean water is in Sierra Leone and I never heard someone stated it luxury and I grew up poor in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 hmm it hard to understand his intent what some of his words are not factual

I’m not defending myself but just to be clear…I understand why some people may have taken issue with the video. A lot of what I said was based on my personal experience and broad observations, and because I was trying to keep the video around a minute and a half, there was a lot of additional context and nuance that simply didn’t make the final edit. I’m not saying poverty doesn’t exist in the U.S., it absolutely does. My point was more so about the differences in infrastructure, access to resources, and economic opportunity that I personally witnessed while in Sierra Leone. This was my experience and perspective, not an attempt to define Sierra Leone or its people as a whole. Take it or leave it🤷🏾‍♂️

I think you should have said “most people” or “many people are living poorly,” rather than “the people.” That distinction matters. I live in the States, travel often, and return to Sierra Leone regularly. From my experience, Sierra Leone itself is not poor, it is underdeveloped in infrastructure and economic opportunity. Those are not the same thing. Like the USA, Europe, and many other places, Sierra Leone has both wealth and poverty. There are affluent communities, middle-class families, struggling families, and everything in between. If you only experience one side, you don't get the full picture. I grew up in Sierra Leone and have spent the last 12 years living in the United States, I've traveled to other countries, I've experienced life on both sides. I've seen people in Sierra Leone who, in terms of homes, land, businesses, family support, and overall quality of life, live better than some people overseas. We should absolutely talk about our country's challenges, but let's also paint a complete picture of Sierra Leone, its beauty, resources, wealth, opportunities, culture, and potential. The next generation should see a country they can help build, invest in, and be proud of; not simply a place they need to run away from. 🇸🇱 Just my opinion, based on my own experiences and facts. Keep going bro. Great contents you've been dropping ✊🏾🙌🏾

No such thing as a first generation African American. That term was coined for black Americans specifically.

It's so funny how people use America as a metric for standard of living for us in Sierra Leone. There is barely a country in the world without poverty. In my observation, you came with a mindset and saw what u wanted to see.

When you say the people brother you’re generalizing. I don’t think it’s fair to say that. You’re making a video of Sierra Leone, you can also make video about poverty in the US, imagine if there was no welfare, why not talk about that and generalize. We make the money over here yet we pay so much tax, bills, debt, etc. people on SNAP. Why not focus on the good things and positive stuff you experienced in Sierra Leone. This is sad
