Thank you so much for sharing shiveli, I was like where do I know from? Then I realised that we had been watching you and my daughter. Your nursing journey inspired her so much. Love you so much and may the Lord continue to bless you in your endeavors ❤🙏
As an African American I am loving your video as my DNA says I’m 4.8% Ovambo. It caused me to immediately think of my ancestor who was taken. Most people outside of Africa are actively taught that Africans all live rural lives, never mind that much of the USA did until about 50 years ago, some in the world and the USA still do. Rural life is much better for us than what we have in urban environments, no matter how pretty things seem. I would love to visit
@@iyaloobeau That is wonderful, I’ve never been to west Africa, only Eastern Africa almost 20 years ago now. The flight is so long so this time I need a fully reclining seat so I can sleep. I would much rather be in your homestead that a hotel. At my age the youngsters will have the chase the chickens but I’m a fair cook
I’m curious of the more traditional foods you cooked, what is the name of the spinach of old. What did your grandmothers cook, their grandmother? This looked like the same spinach I have in the USA but I am fascinated by the original dishes. What do you all call yourselves, not just the land, what is the name of the language you spoke? I hope I’m not asking too much or being rude, just interested as an African American we were denied knowledge of our African family knowledge. Half of what you cooked was the same as I do except I now try to stay away from premixed spices and herbs, trying my best to mix my own. I do use some premixed, but mostly one ingredient spices. Thank you again❤❤❤
@mamabear52 We call ourselves Ndonga people, we speak Oshindonga.. We live up north esp in Oshikoto and Oshana region in Namibia..The spinach We cooked is known as " Omboga" Its a seasonal speciality usually in December until February..But we dry it or store it in the deep freezer to enjoy in the other months..
@mamabear52 For the spinach We usually just use fresh onion, tomato, vegetable oil, salt and chilli.. In Namibia we have "kapana spice" It goes with everything..But if you can find Aromat in The US, you can use that
@@iyaloobeau The spinach might be local or traditional, that is my question because so much of what we eat today often is shipped worldwide. For example tomatoes, cassava are indigenous to the Americans, dishes such as pasta, of Asian origins yet we associate them both with the Italians. Same with potatoes, much of the European tomatoes are grown in African nations but are not of Africa if that makes sense. Before importing the “spinach”, was there another green?
This has been a good day for me, I really appreciate you responding to my questions. I see you answered the spinach question already but comments help the algorithms, so I’ll leave it so more people can view your videos. We know so little about Namibia, me only because I was fascinated early on because i didn’t believe the enslavers stopped at your (our) borders.
Ich habe schon für eine längere Zeit keinen RU-vid gesehen von dir, ich mag deine Videos, ich liebe Namibia, Namibia war eine Ehemalige Deutsche Kolonie gewesen, ich ich lebe in Kanada, habe Deutsche Wurzeln, ich bin in Paraguay in eine deutsche Kolonie geboren und aufgewachsen, ich liebe Deutschland, weil meine Wurzeln da verankert sind, so wie du auch natürlich Namibia liebst, du solltest dein Land lieben was du auch bestimmt tust, wir Deutsch Stämmien sind Namibia viel liebe schuldig, Deutschland steht vor eine Landes Wahl, ich hoffe das die AFD rein kommt, die AFD sind nicht gegen Ausländer im Land, die AFD sind gegen die Massen unkontrolliertbare Einwanderung, die was legal in Deutschland leben, da arbeiten Steuer zahlen ihre Familie versorgen die sind Herzlich willkommen. Gott Segne dich und sei ein Segen. Ich möchte noch so gerne nach Namibia kommen, dass beste Land der Welt kennen lernen. Grüße aus Kanada.
