Hello guys, this is a video about me sharing my experiences of living in Ireland, let me know if you agree or disagree with some of the things i mentioned.
Yes you are on the money
Very good
I have a strong love for the Irish folklore and music and I would love to visit it before I die, but looking at some of these comments...i'll admire from afar
I'm Irish but left almost 10 years ago in my late 20s for Australia and now new zealand, I miss it dearly and am seriously considering moving back next year, videos like this help a lot, just hearing an expat talk about ireland the way I struggle to talk about New Zealand or Oz is making my decision easier, long story short, I miss the craic. Awesome video, thanks
No snakes because the Ice Age cut off the island and they never got here when the Ice Age was over. For the same reason we have much fewer native mammals than Britain, which in turn has fewer native mammals than mainland Europe.
And I am sorry you experienced ANY racism. There is zero excuse for that.
And thanks for a lovely video!
Thanks for shedding more light on this topic, I learnt something new from you and thanks for watching
The ‘snakes’ are symbolic or irish people themselves, we are pagans, at least we were until the Catholic Church invaded with mercenaries slaughtering the older generations and using the children left to populate under a new rule of government/media & religion exactly like what the ‘covid 19’ lie is being used to do while repopulating with ‘new’ Irish from anywhere but Ireland.
This is common in society but social and mainstream brainwashing desensitises the ‘smart’ or ‘good’ people into defending the 1% while attacking their neighbours trying to help, happens every couple of years when the rulers realise that nobody believes their lies anymore so what do they do? Divide the people of a nation enough to make room for a new demographic who aren’t as clued in on how these people operate, basically what democrats do to the black community in America every four years but we only get this every 100-200 years, it’s genocide, it’s war, it’s slavery, it’s oppression but the people have their consent manufactured for them.

Your grasp of both Irish history, and current affairs, seems to be coming from the lonely wee universe associated with QAnon...
The Catholic Church NEVER invaded Ireland. Ireland became Christian after the various missionaries who were amalgamated into the mythical figure of Saint Patrick converted the native rulers and people. The Catholic Church itself did not exist as an institution until the Great Schism of 1054, when the Eastern Orthodox Church ceased to be in communion with the rest of Christendom(or vice versa, obviously). In Western Europe, the term 'Catholic Church' really only became a thing after the Protestant Reformation...
NO, the Welsh-Norman mercenaries invited in by Dermot Mac Murrough did NOT indulge in "...slaughtering the older generations and using the children left to populate under a new rule of government/media & religion..."
On the contrary, they married Irish women and integrated into Irish Gaelic culture...
The rest of your post is just sad, paranoid nonsense...
Your embrace of the 'Race Replacement' theory is particularly stupid...
@@gloin10 that’s what I was taught in school, never really added up until I start researching the Jesuit order, Jewish mystery schools and the Masonic order as far back as Egypt.
I understand why you believe what’s put in front of us, it’s only natural but you should entertain the possibility that we don’t know everything, or anything for that matter and start seeing if things add up to what the Victors write for us to read.
As for qanon, it’s mostly bs distractions but the pedophilia ties to big politicians is very easy to see and even easier to connect to the dots.
@@equinsuocha9174
Bullshit you wrote ab initio, and paranoid conspiracy theory bullshit is all you have to offer.
This lady gets Ireland, starting this with the weather is a key insight. But to be fair its not cold, it never drops below -5 for long. Winters are colder in Spain :) But it must rain 200/365 days. Then spuds, then tea. On the money! All the way! Yer wan here is great craic!
Thanks for your lovely comment Niall
She really gets ireland and comes across as a very fair and nice person she would be great working in public realations
Thanks for your kind comment
This is the first positive video I've seen for the past few days I've been gathering information about potential places to relocate to. Nice one
This is a great video! It's really cool to hear about your experiences. I moved to Ireland about a year and a half ago and I love it! I've been posting videos of my experiences here on my channel. It's such a special country!
Thanks for watching Claire, will check out your videos. I agree Ireland is a lovely place to live.
I am Irish and I think your video is brilliant. Very fair and accurate. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
Lovely video, beautifully presented Amaka.
It is so nice to see that you have become familiar with the ways and customs of your adopted country and have settled in here..😊
Wishing you and yours all the best.
Take care.
👍
Credit where it's due Amaka...and you are a credit to your adopted country...
Thankyou...
You always have lovely content...go girl
Four seasons in one day! Yeah, sounds about right.
True story sis
It's perfectly normal here.
For most of the time, we are the first bit of Europe to feel the impact of the weather systems which come across the Atlantic Ocean, so we get lots of rain, and regular storms. These dominate our weather situation.
However, we are also influenced by cold weather systems which can come down from the Arctic. Then there are the utterly unpredictable systems which sweep east out of Siberia....
All in all, being a meteorologist in Ireland is NOT an easy job...
Please how much does a normal appartment for family of 5 cost like 3 or 4 bedroom appartment in Limerick
It's all very fine here until it rains.
Great video. I hope you're still enjoying life in Ireland!
I sure am! I love living here
God bless you, Amaka. I hope and pray that all goes well for you here in Ireland. Slán agus beannacht Dé ort. Health and the Blessing of God on you.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇮🇪
Thanks Michael
Great video. I have visited Ireland many times first with my dad who grew up in Limerick and recently on my own. Would love to move there.
It’s a beautiful country
Plz god over the next few years this country will be clear of racist ppl we definitely all need 2 live as one in this great land👌💚

Interesting to hear about the English, Anglo version of Ireland.
No idea how I ended up on this video but glad I did..A very factual and interesting look into Ireland from a different perspective!very true on the spices tho I have cooked for Nigerian friends before and I always have the spice ready for them to add after!:-)
Hahaha @ having the spices ready.... thanks for your lovely comment and for watching.

Nice job. Very informative

Beautiful and interesting content
When I came to Ireland in April 2018...i waiting for summer but.... When Irish summer come for me is not enough warm. I never swim in Ireland. Too cold. I am from Croatia and there is 30 to 38 degree. In Ireland 27.Too cold.
Welcome to the North. Island on Atlantic ocean.
It's good that you don't have boring mosquitoes. 🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟
thnks for sharing your experiences of ireland, here we can have four seasons in one day
Absolutely! Thanks for watching
@@amakaugwu2773 your welcome
The mood of the Irish changes like it's weather.
👍❤️ You really have described Ireland 🇮🇪 perfectly.. And Cead mile failte. Have you visited Belfast
Very enlightening
Adaobi Ogbonna thanks for stopping by .
Great video, found it interesting to hear outside perspectives on this country.
The reason we don’t have snakes btw is because the main theory is that the land bridges that connected Ireland to Britain thousands of years ago flooded before they could migrate here. There’s at least one species of snake in the UK I believe, but famously that species isn’t here.
Thanks Finn for the clarification and for watching.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
good for you ...
We the irish are in a stiff competition with the Welsh for native celtic words that mean nothing like they sound
I wanted to visit, so there is bks there.thank u for video
Great content
MyLotanna thanks
The Rents are High in the U.S. now too
Hi, I'm indigenous Irish and I have to say "well done to you girl". This is a very accurate video. Personally, I love our Irish food but I expect an African would find it bland. You're right that it doesn't have as much seasoning as African food. Though, I do also like African food. I love spice and found it very tasty when I tried it 🙂 Even in an Irish stew, I put in extra black pepper to make it a bit spicier. The story of Saint Patrick expelling the snakes is only a myth. But I don't think our climate is the reason either, because England has snakes and their climate is similar to ours. I could theorise why we don't have snakes today but I don't know the real reason why.
Cos St Patrick drove the Snakes from Ireland.
@@rosemaryfarell5264 He didn't. Ireland never had snakes. The story of Patrick banishing them was first recorded almost a thousand years after Patrick lived. The story was a copy of a similar legend regarding St Columba, and even the clergyman who recorded the story, Gerald of Wales, didn't believe it was true.
I was being funny but thanks for the info
@@rosemaryfarell5264 😅sorry I took it seriously
The Irish and their potatoes- the highlight for me🤣
You have no idea 🙈 one year we got bad snow and the shops shut. All I was worried about was running out of potatoes 🤣🤣 That's when I realised some people do live up to stereotypes 🤭
My deceased father was of the firm opinion that if there weren't potatoes, it wasn't a real meal.
There will be another famine in Ireland if we run out of potatoes
Not everybody is bad its just got out of hand with the number now some live in tents same as the homeless, the thing is accomadation rarely goes to the homeless its the same as the Uk.A man on the streets may not be contributing in taxes or work but his parents ,siblings and relatives have over the years they deserve help dear.
I just love your voice 🙂
Thank you
Someone should make a video about whats its like as an Irish person living with African migrants in Ireland.
Why not do it yourself?
Or living in Africa,
@@seanogallchoir3237 Thousands of Irish immigrants live in South Africa.
sledding is a form of banter unique to Ireland it's a good-humored insulting if someone was bosting about how great his family was yes yours met mine on the gallows for sheep staling
Personally i think the reference to snakes refers to the driving out of the coptic church by the roman
When do you plan to return to your own Country? It would be nice when you return to your own Country to make a video of life there. Thank you. Go raibh mhaith agat alig as Eire.
The snakes St Patrick chased outI believe is the English. And thanks for staying.
Given that England wasn't an actual thing when the mythical Saint Patrick arrived in Ireland, that's rather unlikely...
PAGANS
Are there places to get your hair done? Braids, plauts?
No snakes or mosquitoes in Ireland how cool ... you can't have it all this kind of makes up for the weather!
Brilliant video. I'm Irish and just saw this now. You are very honest and not patronising. I'm sorry you have had to deal with some racist incidents, but there can be ignorant people that don't reflect the views of the vast majority. One of my friends emigrated from Cameroon about 13 years ago. He had 2 young daughters born there and had 2 sons born in Ireland. He is very funny. We were talking on the street one day and his wife came up to us and started shouting at him in a different language. When she left I asked him what he had done wrong. He started laughing and said that Cameroon women talk like that all the time. It's a funny little cultural difference and I think people should embrace these. Most west African families I know the woman is definitely on charge. They are all very funny and outgoing. Sadly, we haven't had a lot of them making it in the sporting world just yet, but I think that will change very shortly. Again, I loved your video. Hope you are happy in Ireland and life treats you and your family well
Hahaha I can totally relate to the “shout talking”, it’s a way of life Jimmy, thanks for your kind words.
Whats the craic=Whats the fun lol
Have family in Ireland
Do not come to Ireland.. We suffer mass immigration issues.. There is no property.. Nearly 100 people died sleeping on the streets last year
I’ve never heard that Ireland doesn’t have mosquitos…I’m moving tomorrow😍😂
Sorry to disappoint. There are mosquitos here but not as bad a problem as in other countries
@@jimmymcguinn2885 I’ll take anything better than this especially for the accent 😂
@@itslexigee3207 To be sure, to be sure :-D
Great video, any form of racism is unnexceptable and I’m sorry you’ve had to go through any of it. I’m glad you have lived here for so long and seem to really love the country. Ireland will only become a more beautiful country when we accept and mix with other culture.
Ps. I agree with the food, hate potatoes and most Irish food is bland, but modern Irish cuisine that mixes with other cultures food is helping :)
I really love living in Ireland, thanks for watching
@Any One you obviously fall into the Nazi belief of the “great replacement”. You are a bigot if you actually believe that. All cultures can mix. Irish culture is a mix of Old Irish, Celtic, Norman, Viking and Saxon cultures, it won’t hurt to add more to the melting pot.
@@lukemurphy7165 You are a fucking idiot if you are brandishing rubbish like "Nazi Great replacement", unrestrained immigration from Africa, Asia and South America will destroy what Europe is, the Irish just like the rest of Europe have a right to say stop, we want to preserve what our specific genetic particular heritage is.
Pls am nigeria with spanish pasaporte but will like to move to Irlanda with my family but dont no how to get about it pls i need help
Dont we are full up.
I'll give ya that one too, our food is shit

@@amakaugwu2773 nice vid, presenting is natural to you....info on Irish language speakers in link from cso , am from a Gaeltacht myself and live in Dublin. I learnt English in school, never spoke it in my home growing up; (practiced speaking it with tourists/ English cousins, fluent after a summer) am in my 40s and I'd say most Gaeltacht children today would be exposed to English before starting school.
My school teachers would hit us if we spoke English, wasn'tallowed, Irish only. ( 2 teacher school) corporal punishment was banned in '82 here, but some schools didn't get that memo and it continued another good ten years for some. Not slap, but proper hits/ battering so many people over 40yrs old experienced that kinda schooling here,

Please Africans leave us alone, we did not ask you to live with us, neither did we colonise you, in fact we have been overly generous with our money and time where charity is concerned towards you, why do you feel you need to live amongst us and accuse us of racism?
Common get out of here...
@@thulilebeautyvilakazi7664 Yes, Please get out of here.
@@mactirethesonoflir1536 Thousands of us live in South Africa.....
@@anneoleary8190 the descendants of the Irish are discriminated against like all white people by the bantu regime. I put it to you that we as a people owe Africans nothing, in fact in view of what Ireland has done for Africans, dead Peacekeepers and aid workers, countless hours of free charity, billions of euro in charity and taxpayers money gone in there, into a continent that Ireland would fit over 350 times, I think they owe us, a lot, a significant lot. We owe them nothing, least of all to become a dumping ground for their overspill population
@@mactirethesonoflir1536 Much more Irish living in South Africa than africans living here. And no, they're not discriminated there, there's no "bantu regime" . You're a lunatic and a retard spouting MAGA talking points. Back to school or find a doctor.
Referring to the LGBT community as making "lifestyle choices " is a narrow minded comment. I appreciate that you probably didn't mean it that way, but that's offensive.
No one chooses to be gay, lesbian, etc.
Veganism/vegetarianism, sporting activities, drugs and alcohol, even knitting bloody cotton socks, etc. are all lifestyle choices...
These kind of references actually take away all the hard work Ireland has achieved regarding LGBT rights.
PS: I love the rest of the video though! Funny and true 👍
@Daniel Murphy, thanks for enlightening me on this subject matter, I will take feedback on board when making another Video. Thanks for watching
I do think she meant that if you are LGBT you have the same freedoms of choice as everyone else as to how you choose to live your life ie whether as married partnered or single etc... in many countries that choice doesn't exist so it was relevant for her to mention that.
Isn't marriage a lifestyle choice? Wasn't it a lifestyle choice available to a particular community once and now available to the wider community?
@@jimmymcguinn2885 what's your point, seriously?
You choose to be married.
You cannot choose your sexuality. If only it were that simple....
@@imastaycool You agree with me then, marriage is a choice in Ireland, a lifestyle choice unrestricted to binary or non binary
Ireland isn't really Irish anymore.
Complete and utter nonsense.
Ireland is far more Irish now than it has been in about 100 years.
We had the English/British maltreatment for more than 560 years, and they did their very best to extirpate our culture, language and people. We're still here...
Under that rule, and the aftermath marked by the War of Independence, the Irish Civil War, the Wall Street Crash, the Economic War with the UK, the Second World War, and the economic desert of the 1950s, we were poor, our population was nearly destroyed by emigration, and we discovered that poverty is not a great basis to build a flourishing culture...
Now, thanks to our EEC/EC/EU membership, Ireland is a rich country. Our society is confident, outward looking, and welcoming. Our culture is in far better shape than it ever was. Our games, pre-Covid-19, were seeing record attendances, while our music is thriving.
And now our food, music, dance and other aspects of our culture and society are being enhanced by the 'New Irish', who bring their own ideas, attitudes and foods to us.
It is much easier to be Irish in a proud, rich and confident country where the curse of effectively compulsory emigration has been lifted...
@@gloin10 I, as a Scottish Protestant, have far more Gaelic blood than any New Irish, as you call them. I can tell by the way you are writing your sales pitch that you probably aren't even ethnically Irish and I know so many real Irish who agree with me.
@@pictishblood5688
The issue is not, nor never was, about the daft concept of "...Gaelic blood..."
Is that green?
The fact is that, thanks to more than half a millennium of English/British interference in Ireland, our population was decimated, not once but at least twice, while our culture, language and society was under sustained and consistent assault during that period.
Your attempt to use the 'No True Scotsman' fallacy against me fails, because I was born in Ireland, of Irish parents, was reared in Ireland and educated in Ireland.
I am "...real Irish...", as "...real Irish..." as anyone can be. I have never had the slightest inclination to be anything else for more than 60 years, you silly ignoramus...
As for your alleged "...real Irish who agree with me...", sorry, but that's one problem with being an English speaking country stuck between the UK and the USA;...
We have no national linguistic filter to stop your sort of ignorant bullshit leaking in, and some of our population are idiots, just like every other country...
My country was, when I was young, a poor, grey, depressing Catholic theocracy. Now it is rich, vibrant, and far more colourful.
We are much better off being an open society that welcomes immigrants. These are people who WANT to be Irish. They appreciate Irish society and culture, because they were NOT born into it, and are able to make serious comparisons about it.
@@gloin10 Thank you for your enlightened views. We need a lot more fellow citizens like you embracing the reality of nationality being based on people sharing a common experience and common interests in the same territory. It is not about blood but about culture. And culture is an ever evolving, living entity. Best wishes to you.
@@valerieh84
I would not be claiming any particular enligjtment.
I simply try to behave like a civilised human being.
There is also the reality that marriage to immigrants/foreigners is a feature of my family and indeed Irish society in general these days.
For most Irish people, being anti-immigrant is a bit difficult because one of your family is probably married to an immigrant, and some of your grandchildren are probably called Pavel, Ivan or Aylin...
It's rather difficult to be rabidly racist when your own flesh and blood is half 'bloody foreigner'...
