Living Between Two Cultures: Nigerian Teens in South Africa 

As a 39 year old South African pan African man. I am so happy to see this. When i was in my 20s, the differences in culture were too glaring. With the internet, we are bridging the gap. The younger generation have their own subculture. Good job my girl

The girl who said Amapiano is just beats no lyrics doesn’t know what she’s talking about, Amapiano is literally prayer most times, the lyrics are deep and inspirational. Anyway, cool video , nice bunch of kids.

So so sweet and humble...love them all...proudly South African..Proudly African 😊😊😊

I love seeing how happy the kids are. Keep studying and working hard and grow your talents and expertise in Africa to make it big again. Avoid the trap of sending your talents outside the continent. This continent depends on you guys, Gen Zs are the new asset of the continent

Not to be ignorant but why do people who have bad things to say about staying in SA are still adamant on staying here forever. I mean these are kids and I appreciate their honesty but if they have an option to go to Nigeria and it's a better option for them then why not?🤷🏾‍♂️

I love these kids. They are giving thoughtful and fair assessments. Wishing them a bright future

Im Zimbabwean .but i love Nigerians more 😊❤

South Africa u legendary🙏🏾 Nigerians can't speak their languages at home but they do in SA❤️🇿🇦🫶🏾🙌🏾

this was so much fun to make!!💕

nice ,keep up the good work

Much love ❤ from Abuja Nigeria

This is so interesting, I'm 27 years this year and I have yet to meet any Nigerian descent age mates who've grown up here in SA. I grew up in East London, EC and went to school in Durban & Joburg but still haven't met one. So interesting to see such a perspective

Surprised to hear the girl with an Afro say she'd choose to stay in SA even after everything she has said about the country and its people. 🤔

You can imagine: "why are you working hard, are you promised a car?" The background are not same at all, even with the more academic load in Nigerian schools. Imagine when Nigerians then achieve more success, they would be generally attributed to drug and scam. I say this based on the recent crime statistics revelation of SA.

I'm a South African and i must admit i do not get why our fellow Africans migrate for good! If you are able to move to a country and gained a skill and made money in that country then shouldnt the logical step be to go back home transfer thar skill and help develop infrastructure? I for one think Nigerians are the richest Africans but that money is not filtering to Nigeria.

As a Black American my favorite African countries to visit are South Africa Nigeria Kenya and Uganda/Tanzania. I guess bc I respect the countries I’ve never experienced xenophobic vibes, I always was accepted from the Zulus and Xhosas we vibed 🤷‍♂️

I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this. Awesome content - you just got one new subscriber.

3 minutes in and this is really good!! 💯

20:52-20:57 now she is lying, the thing is, she is not interested in knowing the languages in South Africa…I am from Botswana and way way older , and obviously I like Afro music as older generations do but I do listen to Amapiano sometimes and these guys have lyrics with deep meaning… here she is now biased.

Nice kids , about Amapiano Nigerians have never been in the movement to promote it , it is something that is catching fire globally just jumping on it but don't want to admit it the ish is rocking them big time lol

I am not sure if they are fully Nigerian as in mum and dad or half South African Please I would love to see more interviews on kids born by South African and Nigerian I would really love to see and hear their opinion about SA please 🙏

I wish our children in the african continent can learn to co-exist in a good way

That's nice content my sister I enjoyed it I am a south african love to see the youth bring their views

I actually liked being invited to a Nigeran church, and loved being with my 9ja sisters lol..We South africans need to travel more. very important.

Amapiono has massage ,which u don't understand ,because we sing in our native languages,so u won't understand it , because u are not South African

I love Nigerian women tjey are beautiful 🇿🇦✌️

Loooove your content young lady..Mondli,Durban 🇿🇦🇿🇦

Thanks guys for the awesome content and we appreciate you for choosing to live in our beautiful country and thank you for adapting into our system that is adhering to rules and regulations of our beautiful country, hopeful you will teach other Nigerians that are residing in our country and do things cos that attract bad reputation to almost all immigrants, we ❤you as our own owk, peace

So they were raised in South Africa, but they still can't speak or understand any of our local languages? Can somebody make that make sense to me? Because if it was a South African raised in Nigeria, I'm very sure that he or she would've been fluent in at least one Nigerian language.

Fasanyaaaa😭😭🔥🔥

These people come here but still speak down on SA ....Obviously south african vibe is not the same as Nigerian vibe , South africans are not loud and we dont like loud people...south african has highest purchasing meaning we afford things but we are just not loud in what ever that we do...SA always represents internationally not only in music evem sports , films and in politics we are just not loud .....we believe in staying and fighting for betterment our country we want economic liberation we believe and making sure that our country is clean and functional...Theres always steteriotypes attached to certain people just like how other africans mostly nigerians see south africans as lazy! ...South africans have rights such as freedom of speech , expression etc , SA we are very free people not stuck in old ways of life that much....When that girl says SAns do bad things and they know Nigerians parents wont allow them i wonder what are those things , remember SA is not a village we live a mordern life we are open minded here ...that girl who said amapiano is just beats she should have just shut up , she knows nothing amapiano has meaningful lyrics and its really tiring now amaoiano this and that is sickening...If SA is bad you people wouldnt be here abd still adamant about staying here , Just admit SA is way better than ur countries theres no need to have empty pride...Its not our fault that you come from backward countries and pls stop comparing yourselves to us

This is really good content. Please do more and feature also other nationals residing in S.A. 👍

The interviewer has such a sweet voice

Omo una never go through anything for primary & highschool😂😭

#Abahambe

The young ones will always fulfill the dreams of the old.

live laugh love dirXtope

#Abahambe dont they miss Nigeria ?

The girl in pyjama pants is beautiful.🔥

The lady that said she guessed she didn’t look Nigerian amazed me. What do Nigerian ladies look like? 😊 Aside North Africans, Ethiopians and white Africans, my girl, you look too Nigerian just like any other black girl. You are pretty like Nigerians because the women from that country are some of the prettiest on the continent. Don’t say you guess you don’t look Nigerian again. It projects you as someone wanting to be who you are not.

Thank you for keeping it polite kids❤

Is good to know your culture and life experience .

Shem girls ur suffering from the sins of your uncles here in SA but I hope with your generation the perception of nigerians might get better and we can all get together

Very insightful

Lol its all love. I love this

The kenyan girl so cute

Dope shit mfan

@5:25 I'm South African, I had just moved from Limpopo to Joburg in 2018, and invited a colleague for my 30th birthday party. He hit me with a "what meat tray should I bring" and I'm so dumbfounded like whaaaa? And he says "yeah, when invited to a party you bring meat and drinks", and I'm like if you're gonna basically invite me to a coal-fire like that then don't bother. If you're gonna have a party or get-together, YOU MUST CATER FOR ALL YOUR GUESTS!!!!! Number one, it screams poverty in lipstick, number two, it's just stingy bad manners altogether, so you can imagine my Limpopo self shocked out of my skeleton. He was also shocked to leave with plenty left-overs, lol.

Im actually shocked at what these youngsters are saying about our kids. First of all, the issue of "ukulumela" i thought its still done in all households, you will not just say "hi" to an older person, hi what, dog? The second issue of icurfew? My daughter who is now 37 years and only hadva child at 35 years old, had a curfew until 21 years old. Greeting, that also, at work i fought with other races because they dont know how to greet. SAn parents you're dropping the ball i must tell you, and nizokhala.

22:30-22:35 this is where she is now truthful

These kids will not fit in well in Nigeria anymore, if u did not tell us they were Nigerians I would not have known..😅. I love how Yorubas emphasize respect. Please be patient with South Africans, We got freedom just 30 years ago... In 60 years things will be better

Great video 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 maybe you should do another one with adults 😅

We don't glorify English in South African

South Africa...the United States of Africa....they all Here...some selling drugs,some getting educated,some bashing it while in it...one thing remains a fact....when this country sneeze the whole of Africa coughs....

This is good for Africa 🌍 and please people you need to be patient with South Africa 🇿🇦, even themselves they hardly accept or understand each other

The thing is attitude can be Suttle or Dominant ..look at how they refer or discuss South Africa....they live here and still degrade our country 🤔 🙁😑😡😡. Sometimes it's better that they respect the people and respect our country.

At this point South africa is envied Look at how jealous these kids are, Cause they speak so bad about SA as if their countries are better but thhey still chose to come here and some of them are still very much adamant about Staying in South africa , I dont understand such people who always tryna talk down on SA whie they live here and dont even think of going back home .

When are yoll all going back home. Tsek

Black hoodie girl handle😭😅🔥i need that

I think the problem about these youngsters is that they are speaking of their lived experiences and things that some of us South Africans do not want to admit. I'm in my 30's and shocked at the vast difference between us and the South African Gen-Zee's. Perhaps depending on where you grew up, the general climate was respect and being cordial. You can't do that with many of these kids now, okare it bothers them to acknowledge that not everyone is a peer. And it is really funny to witness the ignorance of some South Africans hoarding iup on artificial colonial borders like African countries sprung up the way they look now. If only you knew how we looked before they cut us up only to stitch us up in all the wrong places. Many of you are despising your own brothers and sisters, yet many speak nothing of European foreigners who literally own this country. But anyway, ba tla re we talk too much. Just by the way, the Western belt of Africa holds royalty. Before artificial countries, there was Negroland. But then again, our amazing education system can never teach you history. This is a beautifully done video. These youngster's parents make me think of my own parent, even now there's things I wouldn't dare say or do because of my upbringing. Unfortunately now we have in the majority, a buddy-system parenting.

I live in UK, I’ve only met White SA’s they were usually very fun to be around

THIS IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND educational TO TREAT EACH OTHER KIND ✌🏾❤

I have two sons half Nigerian and half South African(me) this is beautiful to see. My husband and I try to teach our kids of both cultures, p.s 1st born loves Amapiano second born Afrobeats😂

4:14 side eye side eye

Pls can u compare NIGERIA DE GIANT OF AFRICA ,,, with BURUNDI , MALAWI,ZIMBAMBWE, CHAD, SUDAN , not with SOUTH AFRICA

🔥

I’m curious to know what area you filmed this in? I’m from joburg north but I don’t really run into Nigerians where I’m from

Trafficking

Why can't you ask other countries and you dwell so much in SA as a content creator to diffrenciate two countries. Not fair. I'm Nigeria and tell me if South Africans don't do drugs

Ashake is doing Amapiano

Most of ladies their experience with south African is about suburb areas.

This is Afrika

Sam was looking hella breedable the whole time 👁️🫦👁️

Its interesting how they're accents are South African lol. Many Nigerians migrate because life is harder if you have to live there. The challenges are vastly different

😂😂😂 thats south african for you, greeting only people they know especially in joburg

Demi shall I tell them the Nigerian words I’ve learnt from you?🙈🙈🙈

When you go rome do what romance do.

Very to watch...these are multiracial school kids, their accent says "model C" South African...probably not exposed to the township and learn real black SA culture

Yall SA need to chill, you call them kids then immediately started acting like kids.

Tje one anoit Amapiano..u honestly believe u making it more famous or known on our behalf...plz gal, plz

I'm chatting with a lady from Port Harcourt, she's Ikwerre and hot 😍🇿🇦✌️... she's oyibo 🙈

Most Nigerian live in towns or cbds in SA

Stop setting up these kids to become victims in another onslaught.

That’s so childish to think bad things about others.

These no afropiano

THOSE TODDLERS SPENT LARGER PART OF THEIR LIFE IN SA SO STOP ASKING THEM ABOUT NIGERIA WHICH THEY KNOWS NOTHING OF

U guys are so disrespectful

Foolish talk Nigerians do not take drugs why are SA taking drugs?

And they do sell drugs

I see less Nigerian in ekasi or township

Omo una never go through anything for primary & highschool😂😭
