Kenya is even worse....the UGX is 3,181 to $1 US.

The orphanage we work with in Kensii can literally eat for over a week off less than $20, and they have about 40+ children there.

link ?
I'd love to send some money to help that orphanage out

Singleton would have loved this episode IMO.

It's already been said, but they should have stayed in Ghana. You never seen them so happy in previous seasons. I know Leon felt like he had a responsibility, but ain't no Morgan Freeman speech gonna stop a war, a very personal one at that. They're all adults on demon time. They ain't trying to hear it. Any other time, maybe, but when Jerome tells you to fukk off and your own best friend warns you to head back home, HEAD BACK HOME....but we already know exactly how things are gonna end up. :francis:

I'm gonna be pissed big time if Droopy ends up riding off into the sunset with his loony bytch after all the mayhem he's caused.

Damn breh...

I was working in the energy sector in Nigeria for about a year...with EDUCATED Nigerians with good heads on their shoulders...families... responsibilities...and even after only making $400 USD PER MONTH...I was still getting paid a lil bit more than my coworkers (they were making roughly $360 monthly)

Mind you...that $400 paid for my 2 cell phones... transportation...food... entertainment...haircut/hygiene...etc...for the whole month..and even though some of my coworkers were upset that this Yankee nikka came in their office and got paid a lil more than them...they were living comfortable too...feeding they families...saving for weddings...

This was in 2016 mind you. shyt crazy.

My bad y'all...I meant Uganda, not Kenya. I got them mixed up.

We actually work with TWO orphanages: one in Kensii, Kenya, where the KES is 128 to $1 USD.

The other one is in Jinja, Uganda, and THAT'S where it's UGX 3,181 to $1 USD.

Either way, it's a super sad situation. The pastor at the Kensii orphanage hit me up just yesterday telling me that they're in a severe food shortage and they're struggling to serve a single bowl of rice or maize with beans to more than 150 children at nurseries and primary school every day. It's so bad there that the kids can often be found watching longingly as children at neighboring nurseries are being fed, and they've heard reports of children as young as three years old saving their food to take home for the WHOLE family.

It's heartbreaking because we wish we could do more to help....so yeah, anybody who wants to help, I'll gladly give you the info.

Sorry to derail the thread, but more attention needs to be paid to this, and this episode really highlighted that.

Yeah man....as much as this country sucks, our dollar goes a long way in poverty-stricken countries and it makes you a bit more appreciative for how you live.

If you had $500 in, say, Andhra Pradesh in Southern India, for example, you could likely stay in a 5-star hotel and eat like a king for a MONTH (we work with a ministry there, too).

I would definitely believe that.

Even though we're in a recession...the USD...GBP...Yuan...Australian Dollar...and Yen...are astronomically stronger than most 3rd world countries.

And a majority of people who live in 1st world nations would have NO IDEA unless they went and saw for themselves.

Anyway....

Did anybody else actually MISS those scenes when Teddy and Oso would go and wreck shyt in foreign countries, like they did in Costa Rica in this episode?

Like that time they raided that crooked cop's fortress in Mexico?



That's one of my favorite scenes involving them in the show's history.
