Campeh Jambarr: “Lazy” at home but Thrive abroad - The Gambian paradox
After the May 8th youth protests that shook Banjul, it's time for hard truths about our generation. Why did scores of young Gambians take to the streets? Why are over 35,000 of our youth risking death in the Mediterranean when Gambians abroad send home remittances worth 20% of our GDP. In this episode, we dissect the mental toll of job stigma that has our youth doing "backway" rather than certain jobs at home while thriving in those same roles abroad. We explore how desperation is crushing self-esteem and why the recent anti-corruption protests represent more than politics—they're a cry for dignity. Are we nurturing a culture that devalues local work? Or is the system broken beyond repair? Join the conversation that's dividing households across The Gambia. 🇬🇲
