Thank you for bringing Africa alive for us viewers from an American cultural perspective. I’ve visited Asia many, many times but this year is apparently the start of visiting Africa in earnest.
OLA My Condolence, R.I.P. to the fallen.. May the good dear Father god keep on blessing you and your love ones. Someday soon I am planning on visiting, safe travels.
Very beautiful. Calm easy going beautiful people, clean, modern, organized places. I would love to be here someday. An enchanting place for touring. Love 🥰😍😘Cape Verdians.
Important information: Manjaku is the name of a West African Ethnic group found in Guinea Bissau, Senegal, Gambia and of course Cabo Verde. The Portuguese had a fort in Cacheu in Guinea Bissau and took people from the Manjaku ethnic group to populate Cabo Verde. One love Cabo Verde !
@@animemvp9862 Não sabem mais chamam guineenses de Manjakus? Eu mesmo fui chamado de Manjaku no aeroporto de Cabo-Verde quando estava de passagem para o Brasil!
@@Loveabounds. im cabo verdian i didn't know manjaku was a ethnic untill i was 20 years old. We use manjaku like white people call black people nigge#r
@@marcioluis3829from one state to another you find the same families and ethnic groups only the French, British and Portuguese tried to make it different.
The British didn’t build secondary school in the Eastern part of Nigeria too until independence in 1960. However, they built indoctrination centers which we call churches everywhere.
That must be why Naija is so obsessed with preachers and build so many megachurches there. As for education & scholarship, a large majority of brainpower seems to go overseas rather than be overwhelmed by a contrived religious society. One that doesn't have much care for logic.
Cape Verdean fishermen went to Bermuda and got stuck there and never came back most remarried this was during the early 19 hundreds of men , I believe so yes there are Cape Verdean bloodlines in Bermuda and names
People talk about how clean Praia is, unfortunately this is not true everywhere. On Sal island (Which is the most popular island for tourists) the centre of the main tourist town, Santa Maria, is kept quite clean, but walk just a few minutes from the centre and it is horrifically dirty and you are still surrounded by small hotels and tourist apartment buildings so you are not "Out in the sticks" so to speak. There is so much rubbish, dog faeces and building rubble everywhere it really is disgraceful for an Island that relies so heavily on tourism. if you ask a local person about the things that are not good on Sal they will all say the same thing "All the money stays in Praia". Don't get me wrong, I like being on Sal in winter, the climate and longer hours of daylight compared to the UK is an obvious bonus, and the local people are generally nice and pretty laid back, but the lack of cleanliness in Santa Maria is disgraceful and makes me wonder if this is true on other Islands.
Santa Maria was definitely odd. But i think the problem there is that it is basically deserted. No one seems to actually live there. On the other hand, Espargos actually looked like a normal clean city.
Well, the cleanest island is Fogo. São Filipe is the cleanest city in Cape Verde. I've lived abroad for about 12 years, but I believe it still holds the title of the cleanest city in Cape Verde. Fogo people have a different approach when it comes to cleaning.
U seem 2 b shocked by cap verdians clothing, it's natural for them it might look sexy to others and it's the same reality in every Portuguese colonised countries
Sexy ,are you kidding ? Maybe if you're a muslim fanatic, but otherwise, I have never ever seen a sexily dressed local woman on any of the islands of Cabo Verde .
Currency numbers actually don't matter much unless you are doing short term forex trading. But in terms of cost of living, food at restaurants is around the same as the U.S., transportation is slightly cheaper, and housing/hotels are significantly cheaper. Quality city center hotels go for around $50-$70.
@@cromy1778 I didn't say public transport, I said transport ie taxi cabs. From the airport in Praia to the city center is $10-$15 both ways, which is not affordable at all, considering the distance. Also feel free to name a good restaurant in Praia which isn't a tourist trap.
That high school is older than sixty years old: I went there. Most capeverdeans in the U.S. don’t come from Praia, the capital, nor the island, Santiago.
Statues do not give vibes, where are the man? Do they have cycling lanes here? They do not have plenty of tree lines along the roads/pavement. Dominant hard surface, grey infrastructure and limited green spaces in the high street. I am learning how Portuguese lack sense of building with nature and people into built. It looks like heat Island zone, pollution drawbacks. They have slightly similar traffic lights design to South Africa. Fresh Market place is clean big up to that, most vegetables here from African decent.
@@WillieFungo I want you to know that "relaxation culture " is a respected for that Sabbath ! Saturday = Sabbath Day . Do a small bit of research About Benin who in the not so distant past was called the " Slave Coast "but whose true name was The Kingdom of Juda ! Also check out San Tome and Principe Islands( the same people are in Cape Verde)and their connections to the expulsion of certain people during the inquisition from Spain and Portugal ! VERY Interesting .
Get your listening skills right my friend. I said it was the first secondary school in Praia, not the whole of Cape Verde. There was another opened in 1860. But I'm not counting that because It only lasted for 2 years. I make my content very carefully.
@@delianatygoodwing2857 depende do quesito? Infraestrutura? PIB percapita? Criminalidade? Tem coisas que o Brasil é superior a países de primeiro mundo, o Brasil é um país continental. Onde eu moro o IDH é superior a 0.800 e o PIB percapita é de mais de 30 mil.
Soo, if you translate portuguese language to english, it supposed to be, Cape greeners insteas of cape verdean, as the say here in Massachusets, it cannot be cape verdean, becuase in spanish,verde es green, not verdean, so literally is Cape Greeners, not verdeans, it's all good, for me,they are cape greeners, not verdeans!!
No, the DNA testing shows the paternal line for creole Cape Verdeans is mainly from Portugal and Europe generally. The reason is that very few European women were willing to move to Cape Verde. So the white settlers reproduced with African women. A large majority of the male slaves in such conditions did not reproduce. Around 30% of the population is badiu or "black" Cape Verdeans who will have both paternal and maternal African ancestry. But this will still be heavily slanted towards maternal.
@@cromy1778 Yea, whatever bro. I'm going to stick to my quality sources such as the National Library of Medicine, BioRX, and "Tracing African Roots", which sampled over 200 Cape Verdean 23&me results and found that vast majority of their African DNA came from Senegambia and Guinea. Also, don't tell me what I "meant". Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, and Guinea Bissau, all have the same DNA profile. Third, the Portuguese had very limited operations in Angola at the time of Cape Verdean colonization in the 15th century. I see that you are trying to "correct" me all over this page. But I don't post anything without strong factual backing and sources. If you have different theories, feel free to share them on your own video.
@@WillieFungo😲 I am so glad you are a thoughral researcher because I am so tired of white Americans trying to side step that their Europeans ancestors where all mostly responsible for slavery all in the New worlds of south and north Americas by them saying yours black ancestors sold also your black slaves to the Spanishs/Italians and Portugal. What do you say about that and what do you know in your researches the truth?!
@@WillieFungo It should be mentioned that paternal DNA is mainly due to r*pe. Those colonizers r*ped African women. Hence, that paternal Portuguese/European DNA.
No they didn't. The Portuguese ruled the islands, but 95% of the population was black or mixed, even in the 19th century according to a British accounts from 1832.
So why is this video "Shocking" as you put it? What was shocking about a tourist walking through a foreign land? It seemed like a nice enough tourist trap I guess. Didn't see anything "Shocking" about it at all. Kinda bland and desultory.
@@WillieFungoI find your response interesting, and revealing. You assume the usage of inflammatory language is what got me to watch your video. I looked through the video because I never heard of this place and love checking out new places. I was initially about to pass over it when I saw the salacious "Shocking." To me, this is a turn-off. Maybe others too? I don't know: Humanity is plenty base. There's plenty at the bottom. But I guess the job is to appeal to that base. Get views. Words like a come-on. A hook. A deception. Well, I guess if that's its job. I thought it was a nice enough video, I just didn't understand the "Shocking' part. I think such tactics are ultimately destructive to one's creative integrity and diminish one's message. Writ large, I guess I just have a hard time with the modern disregard for a word's meaning as well as bombastic or deceptive language. I think there is something fundamentally wrong there. And it concerns me that others do not use their word with integrity. Maybe that's frivolous tiresome or not worthy of consideration to others. Well, that's how I see it. I am sure you've another perspective.
Used clothes for sell ? And they prefer american clothes vs chinese? Lol who do you think is manufacturing those clothes? The real and the fake? Americans? Do a research to avoid thèse kind of mistakes Acores is part of Portuguese teritory too. If your Volg is like this i imagine the book…
You overestimate your knowledge. China sells a different quality of products to the U.S than it sells to developing countries because those items are made through contracts with U.S firms. Everyone knows this. You need to ask questions instead of embarrassing yourself. I don't have time to spell out every small detail for low information people like you.
@@WillieFungo i can be a low information Guy, like you Saïd but at least i can talk portuguese and criolo and those are the spoken languages in Cabo Verde, not English, and it seems that my English is not bad at all, because you can understand me. Now a question to you a High information guy can you speak portuguese, or criolo? And do you think that you have more information about Portugal and Cabo Verde then me?
