Nice video. I appreciate. Just came back from Lagos, after a 8 days visit for business purpose. About safety, i can assure you that from a WHITE MAN perspective things are quite different. I've been lucky enough to walk on the streets in pairs all the time, and besides a few disctricts in IKEJA and V.I. still couldn't make it without childrens jumping on me or people touching or asking questions with a very curious, if not even threatening manner a few times. After all, you are a black african young guy visiting another african country. Blackness brotherhood still matters, you can't really feel 100% like a "tourist" or a "stranger". Personally, i would not recommend a white guy to go to rawer and more crowded realities like Alaba Int. Market on his own; i mean, it's not that you put your life at risk, of course, but kidnappers or thieves are all behind the corner. Better to know where to go, and who to talk to.... Anyway, i totally agree that most Nigerians are super kind and sweet people, and tireless worker. There's overall a very nice vibe that you can feel, which is at times touching and contagious. And that's the main reason why i hope from the bottom of my heart that Nigeria will recover soon from this tragic crisis. Nigeria deserves much more than this.

Gano I commend you for a very high standard of journalism, I cannot but bow my hat in respect to you and the way you conduct your interviews. I am also genuinely happy that you've conducted this interview with Fadi Hosheimy, indeed he is an absolute gem for Gambia. Anyone who knows the Hosheimy family will readily attest to their love for Gambia and Gambians and anyone who wishes to deny their positive impact on the Gambian economy is being dishonest and a blatant liar. I am someone who has been working for an international financial institution that serves many African and Asian nations, my work took me to Gambia where I resided for almost 5 years, alas now I have been transferred to other locations, work must continue I should say. During my work and stay in Gambia, I have been able to be in contact with many people, both at the professional and personal levels and what I am about to say will be a bitter/sweet pill for many. I can't tell you how happy I was when I saw this interview, I felt that my sentiments for Gambia have been rewarded in seeing the new generation take responsibility for running itself and nation as well. Fadi is an inspiration, a real professional who is indeed an education for everyone who has his future and his nation at heart. You dear Gano are exactly the same, bless you both. I enjoyed every single minute of this interview as I do all of your Vlogs, but here my joy was marred by some comments which I felt were undilutedly racist, prejudiced and downright nasty, but at this stage may I just say that am thankful to God that most Gambians are not like this and these comments as we know come from a small minority that certainly does not reflect the spirit of the real Gambia which is way way above this gutter level of crap. For these racist Gambians, this is what I have to say: Is Obama an American citizen, yes or no? And where does his ancestry hail from, Kenya? Right? And what about Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Malcolm X, Muhamad Ali hence and so forth, would anyone in his right mind dare challenge their US nationality? How many Gambians have moved to the diaspora and indeed took various US and European citizenships respectively, would anyone challenge their citizenship? And why does this racist Gambian minority want to doubt people like Fadi whom I understand is a genuine Gambian like everyone else? Do these racists understand that there are many Gambians who have indeed succeeded in Gambia, people like Jah, Taf, Jabbie and many more entrepreneurs like them, should they be seen any less than Fadi? Fadi clearly stated that he did not choose his skin color, nor his religion, nor his name, but Fadi chose to come and serve his country of birth, yet Fadi is like many Gambians of Lebanese origins, at least he can trace his roots in Gambia to 4 generations, can these pitiful racists be able to do the same? Are these racists capable of employing one Gambian and improve his life or are they just good at sitting all day under the shade of a Bantaba drinking all day Ataya and criticizing anything that moves on two or four legs? I have seen such people simply sit, insult people and dream of going to Babylon, then when there such people commit the worst offences in Babylon, in fact the Barrow administration's biggest headache are the huge numbers of illegal Gambians in Germany, they alone constitute a serious challenge to both Gambian authorities and the host nations, thankfully many Gambians abroad are not like this, far from that, they too have seen many of them succeed abroad and repatriate a lot of money and they also brought back big investments back home. Here we are, with another brilliant and very inspiring interview of yours and just because Fadi's ancestry is different from theirs, instead of this being viewed as a marvelous example with which many can learn from, what do we have but envious, jealous and filthy racist remarks which thankfully DO NOT represent the majority of Gambians. Fadi, just like his father, grand father and great grand father has found his place in Gambia and is someone who is married to a Gambian lady whom he has shown sincere love, pride and gratitude, and I as a person, a married man and a father can only show respect to such a gentleman. Fadi did not hide anything using borrowed robes, his education, culture, professionalism and sincerity have been clearly manifested, this man certainly does us all big pride. On a final note to these racists, sure thing, I also served in Lebanon as well and this beautiful gem of a country though stunning in its beauty is also a victim of its geopolitical location and also its success. here I must tell these racist commentators that in Lebanon there are countless of Africans studying in some of Lebanon's best universities, go and ask anyone of them if they're happy there or not, get the answer from the horse's mouth. Sure thing, Lebanon is far from perfect, sure thing, Lebanon needs to work on itself a lot but as I just said a little earlier, Lebanon too is a victim of circumstances thus the laws imposed not to allow Palestinians prime in line to acquire properties here like those they sold to the Israelis in Palestine, so these laws sadly affect well-intended people. Take a look at how the Lebanese integrate in their host nations, from Africa, to the US, South America, Australia, Asia, the Lebanese are seen by many as being positive to their nations, except of course to these Nay-Sayers whom as I said can't see beyond the tip of their noses. Finally I want to say this, my work and my stay in Gambia was exceptional positive and I cherish the friendships I forged there, but also I was a victim of racism several times but that never impaired my view of the majority of Gambians whom I see as great people. Again Gano, thank you ever so much for these great interviews, we all come out of them more informed and more educated. Fadi, bravo, you do Gambia great pride.
Yes, school is good, but why teach a foriegn religion at the school. School should focus on teaching mathematics, reading comprehension, and science and technology (or a trade: plumbing, electrician, ...). Religion is a presonal thing, and foreign religions(Christianity, Islam, ...) has done more harm than good to Africans.
