Tell me why I busted out crying when I saw Jordan dancing! I can't believe how much the kids have grown; I've been watching them for years 😢😊
Happy birthday, Naomi🎂! You’re such a beautiful and intelligent young lady.
if nigeria is country to make money and business why are negerians in Ghana
Same reason Americans, Lebanese and Chinese are in Ghana to do business?@@albertwillson5408
I'm British/Jamaican background but was born and raised in Toronto Canada like Rochelle. A lot of the time I say "it takes a village to raise a child" I believe that it takes more than just parents to help raise a child. Guidance, and support from grandparents, aunts uncles, even Godparents.
*VILLAGE = "community of people smaller than a town"*
I dont see how anyone's taking offense to the word when it actually means a rightly nit community that's more like family.
facts....
it's because of how the west portrays the continent as poor village....
yet they can't survive without the resources
haha I just commented this exact same thing before I saw your comment
I agree!
“It takes a village to raise a kid” is an African saying 🌍
Wow people are soo sensitive now a days. I knew exactly what you meant when you described Ghana as a developed village compared to that area of Nigeria. Of course it’s not an actual village but it still has that closeness and community feel
🥳Happy Birthday Naomi!🥰
Jordan KILLED his dance! Well done👏🏾
I love how the kids are obsessed with their baby brother ❤
I haven’t seen Naomi since she was about 10. She is as gorgeous as we all knew she was going to be. Happy birthday 🎂 Naomi. ❤
She says thank you!
These times people will belly ache about all sorts. Once you have good intentions behind what you said, best to just leave it at that. 🥰 Happy Birthday Naomi. *ENJOY* 🥰🎂
15?! Wow, time has gone by! Happy Birthday, Naomi! You've grown to become such a beautiful young lady.
Hey Rochelle, the word "Village and Villager " is a negative term in most cases in African culture. Myself as a Jamaican/Canadian knows this. I understood what you meant, but even I cringed when you said it. You just need to gain some cultural competence.
Some would say Negro is not derogatory, however we as Black people know otherwise.
Facts & I’m a silent viewer-Rochelle should know better, she’s old enough to know it could come across different from what she actually meant😩
Completely agree with this, it's the defence mechanism that gets me..
I'm African and no it's not negative, please stick to defending your own culture that you know about and are familiar with. I can't stand when other cultures talk about what is offensive in another culture for another people so confidently and generally. Always somebody getting offended and trying to "correct" someone on somebody else's behalf. As you can see the two African's she spoke to in this video also didn't really care cause it's not offensive unless you are just looking to be offended.
@@alicedoors4826don’t speak for all African because some ARE indeed offended by the term village. Didn’t you see them tussling in the comment section?
Happy Birthday Naomi! She is such a beautiful young lady. 😇
Wow I’m not even through watching this video…. I had to stop because why did Jordan’s debut make me literally tear up. Look at him thriving in his new environment 🫶🏿🥹. Crazy how we watched him grow up.
Naomi is a chocolate princess so pretty ❤❤❤❤
OMG I am overjoyed to see this handsome latest addition to your tribe! The baby looks just like baby Jordan! 😊😊😊
In Twi (I can't speak for the other Ghanaian languages), the word village or villager *depending on its context* has a somewhat of a negative connotation to it. It just is what it is... So I think the disconnect here has more to do with language and culture than anything. IMO, if you choose to expatriate to or visit another country, you should have some reverence for the culture and not impose your own ideals. So, instead of dismissing the comments on your previous video, you should seek to understand rather than to be on defense. I think it's also important to consider how big Nigeria and Ghana are when comparing the two. All love, just want to help you understand why people were offended by that comment. And Happy Birthday to Naomi!
Respectfully-no one should have to tell Rochelle this stuff-she also claims Jamaican ancestry-she knows the ramifications of making certain comments/statements that folks can take it the wrong way or become sensitive especially when comparing cultures/countries💯It just comes with the territory but hopefully you will think twice before making certain comments and also respect the opinion of others (it may not have hurt you but clearly it hurt others)-have some compassion/understanding, eh/aye?🤔
Be more open to others. We do not view village as a negative. Appreciate your country more. The simplicity of the village.
@naturalempress8564 you make no sense. She never said it in a negative way so it shouldn't be taken negatively. If say I like GREEN apples and they make you sick. Should I have to think twice because of how they make YOU feel? Should I think twice and include RED apples so they don't feel left out? The analogy I'm giving sounds bizzar right? Just as foolish as your comment. People need to grow up and like Rochelle said look at the context of what she was saying and stop taking things so personal 🙄
There's a famous saying "it takes a village to raise a child" which essentially means it takes a whole community to raise a child. This is because village means community.
I agree with what Rochelle says, it’s not a big deal. As a born and bred Guyanese who was naturalized as a US citizen and have traveled to many African countries and lived in Nigeria for a year its not ok for people make generalizations about the US, but it happens all the time and many people judge you because you are considered yankee and all other notions they have not even experienced . It goes both ways and all about maturity in understanding where people are coming from. If anything I’ve meet more resistance from West and East Africans who totally disregard that I am Guyanese.
It must be soo amazing to watch your child be brave enough to do something like that infront of a crowd Go Jordan 🔥🔥 and happy birthday Naomi!!
Oh Rochelle, I think i understand why Ghanaians may be upset about the village thing. it can be understood like they still living in huts with no electricity, no cars, civilisation etc you know that narative that is still being thrown around about Africa.
Its pronounced as 'Lay-gos' not 'Lay-Goes'
The island has trees everywhere, like, every street has loads of trees im not sure where you only saw concrete lol granted its a more quiet affluent area where people arent just walking in the streets. but if you went to the other side of lagos where theres hustle n bustle you will see kids, people speaking mostly yoruba language, beggers on street, hawkers, stores etc
Happy birthday Naomi x
I can't with Jordan😂He mashed up his part of the choreo, big dancer Jordan
Happy birthday Naomi!!! I remember when you were just a little girl!!!🎂🎉🎁🎄🎈🛍️🎊👑🌸⭐️
Right?! Where does the time go
Bathe him in a ph balanced soapy mama. I get ring worm when i dont bathe for a month or more. So just keep that skin clean
@@Trusttheprocessagain you don't bathe for a month?😮
You baby will remember this for the rest of her life ...... I wish my momma would've got me dresses made. It's so awesome ¡❤
Come on, i think Rochelle chose to stay in Ghana for a reason. If she didnt love it there i dont think she would be there. I do agree maybe she couldve chosen a different choice of words to describe it since people are offended easily, but i think she just meant more of community-like atmosphere/ closeness as well as there being more greenery.
I think its obvious that she only compared the two places because she was recently visiting nigeria and she is broadcasting her experience and her point of view to give the viewers an idea for those who've never visited. Both places look beautiful and both places seem to have something special which makes it unique.
Anyway lol
Happy Birthday Naomi✨🎉
I’m so impressed with this vegan festival! I’m vegan and to know that Ghana supports type of dietary choice is very progressive! Happy Birthday 🎈 Naomi! Peace and love 💕 from New Jersey, USA!
So beautiful at 15. HBD Naomi.
I see nothing wrong with villiage i love how you speak about Ghana ❤
Naomi is so beautiful! She has grown so fast. Happy B-Day Naomi!!
In the Black American Culture the word village is positive. We always say, “It takes a village to raise a child.” Never knew that village has a negative connotation in other countries. It’s just a difference in Cultures but I’ll definitely be respectful of that when visiting.
Certainly. Eg in Ghana,if you really want to insult someone, you call them a villager. Same with Nigeria, I believe from their movies ive seen. It hits hard. I think what didn't help is calling ghana a village in comparison with Nigeria.. if you know anything about the relationship between these 2 countries, you'd understand the reaction. I like that you have said you have learned from this. So many commenters, ignoring the cultural difference and having a go at Ghanaians who feel offended. They just need to learn and not expect Africans to drop their cultural ways at tye drop of a hat and see things from the foreigners perspective. I get it, village is deemed superior in some parts of the world.. what you do though when in a new country is try and understand them, then try and show them the light. The approach being used by some UA-camrs doesn't work.
Happy Birthday Naomi!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 You look so beautiful. Also, Jordan, you killed it at the school show!
Naomi has grown up to be a lovely young woman. Happy Birthday Naomi!
Jordan did a great job filming!🏆🏆
I totally understood Rochelle's sentiments. Guess these are the nuances of culture, where a word can mean one thing to someone & something totally different to another person.
Jordan,s dancing was fire ❤️🔥… HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAOMI!! 🎉❤
Naomi continues to grow into such a beautiful young lady and Jordan had too much swag with his dance!!! Didn't look nervous or anything. You must be so proud of your kiddos Rochelle! 😊
This vlog was so fun❤ Happy Birthday Naomii🎉🎉🎉🎉 And good job Jordan!!
Happy birthday Naomi - she is so pretty. Jordan did his thing... congrats...
Omg Naomi 😮 she has grown up so beautifully the years have flown by, god's bless. Happy belated!
Tinea versicolor isn’t a bacteria, it’s a fungus. (Yes there’s a difference.) Bop bop just needs antifungal soap and/or cream on his skin. It’s treatable.
oregano oil is anti-viral and anti-fungal, it's also a natural anti-biotic, just doesn't kill all the good bacteria
I used to have tinea versicolor when I was younger. I was told to use Head and Shoulders shampoo or products with selenium sulfide in them. Eventually it went away.
Happy belated birthday Naomi, been watching you since you were 6 hard to believe how fast time flies. You’ve grown into a beautiful young lady ❤️
She says “THANK YOU” ❤️❤️❤️
Jordan! "Keep quiet my friend!" That's a Ghanaian boy right there! Children are amazing with the way they adapt to anything. Happy belated birthday to the beautiful Naomi. I was watching your vlogs almost a decade ago. God has brought you far and the blessings will continue.
Lmao I love the sibling rivalry between Ghana and Nigeria 😂.
Happy Birthday Naomi. She is growing into such a beautiful young girl ❤🎉
ETA: omg Jordann! His dance performance got me so hyped!!
In truth, we as Nigerians don't have a rivalry with Ghana. You can see how a small thing like saying Accra looks like a "developed village" and Lagos looks a lot like Canada, with a lot of skyscrapers like a "concrete jungle" can trigger so many. Nigerians are really just playing along for kicks.
I had to go back to Jordan’s performance 3xs….he definitely killed it 18:50 wow! What a talent…🗣️Go Jordan”, that was 🔥
🥳🎉🎊HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAOMI 🎂 hope you had a wonderful day. You look so blessed, I love your hair and can’t wait to see how the dress turns out. And massive well done to Jordan on his performance, you got so much skills I love your dance. Rochelle you are so amazing keep going hun. And bop bop is forever the silent star of the vlog he is soooo handsome. Love and blessings ❤
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Y’all are gonna think I’m lying, but I’ve never been to a hospital or doctor (since my arrival in this place, 41 years back). We do everything natural. And I love it. I will/have gone to the dentist, but that’s about it.
Ringworm generally is circular and has a raised ring. What he has is Lota (Tinea versicolor) I used to get it alot as a kid as well. In my country doctors would make an ointment mostly from Sulphur and that would have worked. It stinks but gets the job done.
O ok. I did have a lil red ring around it
I also had this and my doctor told me to use Head and Shoulders shampoo or dandruff products with selenium sulfide. It helped and went away!
i cant wait for you to move to Nigeria we love the way you appreciate Nigeria nicely.
Lol ❤️
I doubt, Rochelle will move to Nigeria. She’s better in Ghana.
Nigeria is fun, and has a lot to do but if you want a safer, quieter, and stable place, stay in Ghana.
@@cecechampion4🎯
Hahaha, don't forget that Ghana and Nigeria have some sort of rivalry. It's not a serious thing, but it comes up every now and then.
You will be surprised to know that sometimes, it takes simple things like jollof to spark this rivalry 😂😂😂😂
@@cecechampion4 spoken quite like someone from a "developed village"
Not you singing fabric land in Ghana... 😂😂😂😂 I'm Screaming 😂😂
I’ve always wanted to do that. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s child is spitting image of is mom. 🎉
Jordan is hilarious “keep quiet my friend” 😂😂😂 dont talk to mommy like that ooo 😉 Happy Birthday Naomi 🎀 May God bless you with many many more breathtakingly beautiful years IJN Amen!
Naomi looks gorgeous!!!!
Naomi was beautiful for her Birthday. Chelle you have three beautiful Children. I enjoyed the vlog. I love hitting the streets shotgunning with you. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Thank you so much 🤗
Happy happy birthday to the beautiful Naomi!! All of the children are just beautiful and smart!! Happy birthday 🎂 🥳 young lady!!
Naomi is so beautiful. Happy birthday! Jordan did a great job.
Ok let me chip in, village is not a derogatory term but it has a negative connotation when it is being compared to something. There are more languages in Ghana but twi tends to dominate bcos it is easy to understand. So most ppl tend to learn it. Moreover the twi language spoken by the akans transcends most parts of the country.
No, not because it is easier to understand but because Akan peoples are the most populous in the nation.
Nothing negative about the word village connotation wise or other, even in comparison. I can compare a village to the inner city and still there is absolutely nothing negative. Only difference and preference.
@jayjee735 Yes, that's exactly what I meant by the word transcends. More twi speaking ppl(akans) in Ghana
OMG, baby boy is soo cute..Rochelle gave birth to her double...Bless him💙
Naomi is such a stunning young lady!! happy birthday princess 🥰🥰
Happy birthday Naomi! You’re growing sooo beautifully! 😍✨🫶🏿
6:02 Ghana is definitely a village in a certain sense 😄 Some ghanaians don't seem to understand that, they only know ghana (they don't understand the beauty and infrastructure design the country is missing even compared to some other african countries). A very distorted self perception (a good amount of other africans have this distorted self image as well). There are many things we need to improve and renovate, the only issue of course is money (but some specific things can be improved aesthetically without spending too much).
But that was definitely not the way to say it. Calling a whole country a village 😄
She is 100% right. Lagos Island is a city, it's like downtown Toronto vs. Shelburne. Ghana is more rural and community based, Lagos Island is more business oriented, the commimunities are more gated etc. Everyone drives, and is more closed off, so yes you are 100% right. Ghana is more like what we would describe village and Lagos island is more of a metropolitan vibe.
You’re comparing a city to a whole country…
@@yo-a she said LAGOS ISLANDDDDD and ACCRAAAA!!!!
YOU SAID LAGOS AND GHANA DINGBAT@@nicolebusari5493
@@yo-ayou don't know that Lagos economy is bigger than the whole of Ghana right ???
Gosh shes sooo beautiful ❤happy belated birthday girlie🎉
No sweetie. You said "developed village." Why try to change your statement?
Not tryna change it. Maybe even “modernized”. Jus added some context to it 😃
Wow can't believe she is 14. Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁
Happy Birthday Naomi 🎂🎉🎉!! Wishing your beautiful daughter Rochelle many more years and blessings to come ❤❤! Happy Sunday to you Rochelle and your family 🥰💞!!
It takes a "village" to raise a child
A community of people looking out for each other, kids ,small net village. I get it..
However the word village MAY offend some Ghanaians or Nigerians depending on how they use the term village. But..every body has an opinion rather it be negative or positive
Happy Birthday Naomi 🎉
Hi Rochelle, the condition on the body of your handsome prince could be Tinea Versiculor likely due to fungal condition. You don't need to worry much, if it's fungal condition a topical or anti fungal creams, should get rid of it.
that's why she's using oregano oil, it's anti-fungal
i was so hype when Jordan was dancing !! go Internet nephew!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣
Omg I love your vlogs so authentic. Jordan got moves!!! Beautiful family❤ I can’t wait to visit Ghana it’s been on my bucket list for a while now.. soon!
Happy birthday Naomi🎉🎉
Happy Birthday !! 🎉🎉🎉 I don’t be wanting ur vlogs to end ,I don’t be finished with my food .
🎉🎉Happy Birthday Naomi. 🎂 Best wishes for you as you grow.
Jordan living his best African life! Love to see it!😊 Happy Birthday Naomi🎉
Fuol is Fava beans. It's soo good 😋
Rochelle you are over explaining.
You even said on this video ‘I’m comparing Accra to the islands… the islands are a lot more ADVANCED than anywhere else in Nigeria’. Nothing about that talks about ‘community’ that you are now stating.
You are from Jamaica, I’m sure you know there is a big difference between how people consider village life and a city life.
When you explained it to the Nigerian man you even said, what I meant to say was XYZ. Great, but that’s not what you actually said, so people were offended by what you actually said which was ‘Ghana is like a developed village’, which can cause offence in the country you currently live in.
Also, perhaps asking a Ghanaian person for context and then you’ll understand why you received such comments.
As someone said below, instead of just dismissing it, understand the country you have expatriated to.
Simple💯
This is not actually true (though the point can be taken to move past this silly issue): the islands are not "a lot more advanced" (whatever that may mean) than Abuja, nor even particular areas of greater Port Harcourt (e.g., GRA, Trans Amadi or CFC junction, secretariat area, NLNG Residential Area).
Having visited Accra, I'd say the most appropriate comparison in Nigeria is the city of Uyo - green (more so than Accra even), developed, nice scapes, not many highways or highrise buildings, with a small community vibe. The bottom line is Accra (small town feel) is not Lagos (global city feel) and vice versa, that's simply the point she was making.
Rochelle, that’s Naomi’s baby 😂. Happy Birthday Naomi 🎉!
@18:25, the word is confident.
Happy Belated Birthday to Naomi 🎉🎉🎉She is such a beautiful young lady!!!! BOP BOP & Jordan are so handsome continue to have fun with your beautiful family Rochelle ❤
Happy Birthday Naomi! 🎁🥳❤️🙏🏿
Such a beautiful and interesting blog! Happy birthday, beautiful Naomi 🎉❤
Happy Birthday Beautiful Naomi. Glad to see you enjoyed your Birthday with Family and Friends 🥳🎂❤️
Happy Birthday beautiful Naomi🎉🎈 Jordan has the moves 👏🏾
Omg Jordan you’re so talented and brave but doing the worm took me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Villages is where good organic stress free life happened .I love everything about Ghana .I am from Jamaica living in Toronto
If is funny that the word village in the UK has a mostly positive connotation for people. I personally understood what Rochelle meant and did not put me off ever visiting Ghana, actually the complete opposite.
Happy birthday Naomi, hope you enjoy your day! Best wishes. God bless❤
It’s the comparison. I notice it’s not a good idea to compare Nigeria to Ghana and vice versa about anything. It’s been ongoing dispute between both countries. Just don’t do it to be safe.
Common, do you mean Lagos and Ghana because it is an insult on Nigeria to compare her with village Ghana?
U were in apart of Lagos which is very developed. Nigeria is the richest country in Africa which u cannot compare to Small Ghana . There's money in Nigeria to make if u know the right way.U were in rich area in Nigeria so u didn't see the real Nigeria. Nigeria was a beautiful country to visit yrs ago .Its a little fast paced Ghana . There's nothing wrong with a village but Ghana is definitely not a village.If u want peace u stay in Ghana if u want wahala u go to Nigeria lol 😂 People like Ghana because of the layed back vibe . Nigeria is not for the weak. Its over populated, there's poverty like Ghana but they r on a different level . The hustle is different over there.Nigeria a country so rich and yet so poor.
It's about time these comparisons stop. From the way she's talking, there's a huge possibility that she will be moving to Nigeria, which is fine.
It is the fact that it had to take a video like this to show how a Ghanaian like you really feels about your country.
Dem go explain tire, ALWAYS!!!
In New York City, we call the neighborhood of Harlem a village because everyone looks out for each other and the children. Sadly, with gentrification, that is changing.
It sounds like a form of eczema, my son has the same thing. You’re doing good, by treating it before it gets out of hand.
Awww Naomi looked so cute, love the hair!
Awwww look at Jordan 🥹he did a great job! Happy Birthday Naomi
6:22 I was just thinking the same thing. How nice the people are and friendly. That try use village vibes for real ,where everyone treats each other like family.
lil man is getting so big and sweet!! Blessings on your earth strong young lady!!
Your children are so beautiful 🖤
Happy Birthday Beautiful Naomi ❤ I think the village thing may be more about classism.. Africans are big on stature and money. Village is sometime associated with having less and/or having old fashion ways. Of course, Westerners are moving in the direction of less is more but with Africans more is more.😫😂♥️
Happy belated Birthday to Naomi 🥳 🎉💐🎂🎁🎈I hope she had an Amazing Day
Happy Birthday Naomi you gotta watch she because she’s a lil cutie the boys gonna be on her….
Happy birthday Naomi, you're beautiful inside and out
I wish you were still in Ghana to get some young ackee to rub on the ringworm. Growing up in Jamaica thats what the older folks used on us as kids. Also, some adults would use a sulfur-based ointment for ringworm too.
Happy Birthday Naomi 🎉
Happy Birthday Naomi!!!!!!!!!!! 🎉🎊🎈🎉🎊🎉🎈🎊🎉🎊🎈🎉🎊
I am grateful to be able to say “village” and villagers without anyone getting upset.. When I lived in America I lived in a village, it’s a better way of living . It’s a compliment I did not find Rochelle dismissive or disrespectful at all. How many things do we have to be careful about..🤨 I needed to update, I tried to find your friends Vegan business I tried several times to find the name but I was I was not successful
Rochelle, your daughter is so cute! Tell her, HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎉🎉🎈🎈🎈
I agree with you Roti ! Village to me is similar to community family everyone know everyone type of vibe, it’s a very beautiful thing.. I do see the other side of it too but 🤷🏾♀️
Girl you sound like me. I have lost trust in doctors. You are such a good Mom!
