- (My Love & Pride) The Africa They Never Show You.
The artist in me cannot help but create & express myself. So I decided to combine my passion for ART & MUSIC to express the love, pride and respect that I have for Mama Africa.
I hope that everyone who decides to view or share the video will also show love & respect for Africa & its awesome diversity of beautiful people.
Kind Request: Keep it PEACEFUL. The idea is to promote integration & encourage UNITY & ONENESS.
I also came across a comment/response on this video that someone had made showing the beauty of the African continent as a whole. I really loved this profound words and so I am going to share that response with everyone. It reads;
"It will be a beautiful day when Africans learn to respect and care for each other as they so emphatically like to care for foreigners. Then maybe, we can actually start to take care of each other and the millions of Africans scattered all over the globe, rather than always depending on people outside the continent to help us."

This ticks me off in a way. I'm a 40 year black man that has been born and raised in southern California, USA. I've been to Altlanta, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco and of course Los Angeles. All these cities have very nice and very poor Hood type cities. The only thing they show us of Africa is Lions, big Crocodiles, starving kids in Ethiopia, some small military exercising in the Sahara desert. I got a little interested because of the terrorist attack at a Radisson hotel. I said to myself, Why is there a Radisson hotel in the middle of the Sahara desert? I once was blind, but now I see. Man they keep us poor people so blind and deceived.
Funny cos my woman was so shocked first time she came to africa it's was nothing like she expected . Nothing like what she was watching on TV. And she was more impressed how people were welcoming and open . Most of people talk about africa as if it was a country they forget it's more than 54 countries with all colors of human race. The most beautiful continent with the most beautiful heart people. No matter what the system tries those people stand strong with smile on their faces. Jah luv
For most people living in a world-power country it just isn't what it appears to be to those who live outside of it.

YOU IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NIGERIAN BORN PHILIP EMEAGWALI DID NOT INVENT THE INTERNET.
HE'S NOT A DR. AD HE CLAIMS.
HE'S A TOTAL FRAUD.
GOOGLE:
PHILIP EMEAGWALI FRAUD.
YOU WILL LEARN HIS WHOLE SCAM.
Everything man invents falls apart-not much lasts long.
The inventors need to invent a vehicle that needs no repairs, gasoline that doesn't burn-out. This is just a start.........
Thumbs Up if you think We need an updated version of this after 13 years. And it gets better every year
👍🏿👍🏾👍🏽👍🏼
Africa is the most diverse continent on the planet. Mama Africa is amazing
+roshard tamplin - You've been? Which part?
I haven't been. But I'm going someday soon. My vacation spots will be in Afrika
The most diverse continent on the planet has got to be North America considering we have everything.
Logic
Hahahahah! It's Indian land YOUR land is Caucasian Mountains
Logic he means genetically even though most Africans look the same they are more genetically different from one another then you are to an Asian
Feeling the African pride anyone?
Barbie Kerry I already am.Let them run 'Murica into the ground.Seeing this video, I,d love to visit the Motherland.
Sure! Im glad for you guys keep up the good work and i hope you guys can make more skyscrapers and make the city's look huge and better then some us citys
I am not African and I'm feeling African pride for some reason
🇬🇭 🇬🇭 🇬🇭
As a USA citizen of African (Original People) ancestry, believe me when I say "all nations & people seek to position in Africa". African people rise and never seek greener grass elsewhere. Let's water our grass and it will be unmatched! Then we will heal the world. Respect.
This video made me cry. Why they lied to use so much in America schools like Africa is poor disease infected which still didn't kept me from wanting to go back but this is just another part of life I'm missing out on. Where most of my real family is from not slave cousins. So much information but the journey doesn't stop here for me :(
Whites & non blacks would like us to go back, but the US government has historically discouraged blacks from returning through propaganda because they make money off of us. even with the socialist aid the US government gives blacks, they still make quite a bit of money off of keeping us here
PAULA Pérez you sound sexy
PAULA Pérez wow.
scottyplusfive don't talk to her, she's mine
Don't feel down life will get better and if you didn't know the true look of Africa its fine now you can say positive things about it without feeling down negative people. want to hide the truth that has been (hidden for decades and it is ongoing still to this day but to know the truth study and when you get enough money go there. its a life changing experience one cannot forget.) but there is beauty all over the world just know the world has its pros and cons but it would be beautiful if people loved each other regardless of the culture they are from but you live on earth with some negative people out there but don't let that stop you from seeing pictures of Africa or other places remain calm and you'll meet people who have a warm personality and they would treat you nicely like everyone else if nice back so if you walk in there with a positive attitude people will be attracted to you they love when people visit just being yourself is always key.
is it not time we Africans unite and take our destiny in our hands not minding how they make us feel,we are great people from cape Town to Cairo, I love Africa
WE ARE ON IT, MATE
OMG THIS IS SO TRUE EVERY TIME I GO TO AMERICA THEY ALWAYS SHOWING SOMETHING LIKE EBOLA OR A BAD PART OF AFRICA JUST MESSED UP
Thank you for sharing the pictures of Africa.
debora king fucking racist
+debora king to call all white people devils is so insane.
This video is old. Africa is growing so fast most of the cities here are totally different now. Go Africa and Asia!
YES!!!!!!
THE WHITE MAN MODERNIZED YOUR WORLD.
YOU CAN NOW SAY GOODBYE TO THE PRIMITIVE AFRICAN LIFESTYLE.
WELCOME TO THE 21ST CENTURY.
That's why most people are depressed and live on anti-depression medication trying to keep-up with useless inventions.
+The Truth Yeah no they didn't bud. I take it that you look at every good part of Africa and assume that America or "White Men" had something to do with it because all you know about Africa is the villages and slums and what not. Why can't you just accept that not every good part of Africa or any other places were built or "MODERNIZED" by "THE WHITE MAN". You sound like Uncle Ruckus from "The Boondocks" right now, GET OFF THE INTERNET!!!
+The Truth Africa wasn't always primitive ever heard of the ghana and mali empire they were prosperous while europe was hell.
yummy:
FUCK the White media and its stupid lies!
Fuck you too dude. Hehehe
you fucking pig .shows only the bad part of Africa ,and make ppl to hate their country and take resource in America we are eating our resource .ok pigga
"white media" Fuck you. how dare you cast aspersions on a whole race.
I love Africa for the people....not the buildings or built up cities. For it is their heart that calls to mine through the Living GOD! Bwana Asifiwe!
Jessie campbell amen
Amen, welcome to beautiful kenya.
Amen
Jessie campbell Bwana asifiwe daima
Amen
I'm African American my ancestors r Ghanaians I was born in America for me Ghana is my home
Ghana is Beautiful!
Filip Gürtler Are you serious?
S Sailor there is ridiculous heat everywhere, even in your country
+africa ba So why don't you go home. Judging on what's hapening in US currently, it won't be long, before all blacks are shipped back to Africa from US and Europe. After all, if you feel, that Africa is where you belong, it is our duty to help you to get back there.
Filip Gürtler We aint gonna get down to your level get out of here with that bs SMH Europeans get on my damn nerves
Love to visit Africa one day. Greetings from an Asian.
THAT IS SO TRUE!!!!! Africa Is Beautiful! I'm Proud Of Coming From Ethiopia, Africa.
your very blessed to be born form a wealthy country
Owodohalo lol
PROUD TO BE ANGOLAN / NIGERIAN. PROUD TO BE AFRICAN.
Whoever posted this must be from Kenya :)
Lol true, i thought im the only one who witness that
I am glad that I have seen this. I hope one day to take my family to one of the many places of Africa.
Above all that u've seen, in Africa we have love to give.
Thank you my friend.
I went to Somalia and Ethiopia, twice, and I will personally post a video of my country's beauty its amazing, but you also missed Morocco. there is much more to Africa's beauty than this.... Like the landscape, waterfalls, rivers, valleys,forests, mountains, beaches, animals, safari, deserts, natural wonders, and the geography in general. but great video.
Many times all that we in other countries see of African are the landscapes, waterfalls,etc. Programs almost always focusing on animals and barren land- leaving people with the impression that every place in Africa is a remote village without water or sewer disposal systems-food is sold in open air markets on a blanket on the ground-whole communities waiting for relief aid-dirt roads-children with flies on their face in tattered clothing and on and on and on.
We want to see the diversity of the continent, the people (many, many are very beautiful) -the different living settings-the old and the new-all of it. Not just poor, poor, poor.
Susan Jones hehehe. I agree, I bet everyone knows that Africa has giraffes,lions,zebras,cheetah etc and amazing wildlife but no infrastructure, is hardly show, no skyscrapers, no villas,houses,apartments, no roads, no cars. I know exactly what you mean. there is so much more to in Africa, and they should show diversity, glad we have the internet.
Susan Jones Well its up to you guys in the west to change that image - but you guys are more worried about having sex and marrying white women or some other dumb bullshit. Ya'll ain't handling ya'll business.
Caroline Lincoln Lol dumby it's not up to US. Have you ever watched an Africn program where it only shows the bad sides of Africa? Tell the jews that control the media, and your white parents or whatever to stop dissing Africa, because when they come to Africa they feel like kings here.
Yea you're so right! I'm from Cameroun and my dream is to visit Morocco, I love that country. Casablanca, rabat, Marrakech, Agadir, Tanger, the desert and to ride on camels. I love this country so much!
I AM JUST EXITED (y) HAVE NO WORDS. GREETINGS FROM GEORGIA, FROM CAUCASUS. GO GO AFRICA, U CAN BECOME THE MOST SUCCESSFUL CONTINENT, U HAVE EVERYTHING FOR THIS, JUST CONTROL YOUR GOVERNMENTS AND TAKE CARE OF THEM TO AVOID CORRUPTION. DO NOT LET WEST TO STEAL YOUR OIL, DIAMONDS, ETC. FOR THIS, U DO NOT NEED TO HATE SOMEONE. WEST IS GREAT, BUT THE PROBLEM IS IN U. BECOME MORE DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY AND TAKE MORE CONTROL ON YOUR GOVERNMENTS, THAT IS THE ONLY WAY. BEST WISHES ;))
Much love.
Are you seriously suggesting, that blacks should stop goverment's corruption and theft? What a revolutionary thought ?
Young Luo The proxy colonialism? You must be talking about Chinese neo colonialism in Angola and Sudan. The Proxy colonialism sounds to me a bit far fetched. There is nothing proxy about black tegimes floging minerals and oil to Europeans and Chinese .. and then pocketing the money, instead of reinvesting it back in their countries.
R Jensen ohh you can't wait to colonize Africa again, sending troops to help with Ebola, a disease that you are responsible for creating. Hey what are you doing Europe, scared of loosing Africa you common bitch aaahhh, is that why you are migrating to Africa in droves? don't tell me is to help grow the economy and to build roads, you've never done that for the last 500 yrs, you will not do it now.
R Jensen You are full of shit, from what you have written I can tell there is no point of us carrying on with this conversation. If you wan't to know anything that is happening in Africa in terms of development, there are thousands of TH-cam videos you can watch and educate yourself, what about this particular video that we are commenting on? you choose to be ignorant at your own peril.
Good job! Reminded me the good times I had in Kenya, Nairobi, Ethiopia, and Eritrea. Africa is a great place to visit.
you missed some countries I lived in. This was a very calming, soothing video. I loved living in Africa. Nowhere near the stress of living back in the states.
You missed Mozambique, I don't know why, but it is as beautiful as the rest of Africa :)
Maputo, is a beautiful place...
R Jensen ur point???
R Jensen Your life must be realy boring, a total mess! Taking your time criticizing and pulling down Africa(ns) won't get you anywhere! Get a life dude, I pity you!
Fabius Kamali don't pity me. I have lived in Africa, for a long time. And have seen a large part of the continent. I actually pity you. Because you have never been outside the slum, that you live in. You are just a troll.
R Jensen
U r de troll u talkin bwt, u most probably lived here as sum fake ass missionary workin 4 ur corrupt West.
Beautiful art u have created! I love the pictures, the music and the way u created it! All we really hear in USA is that Africa ie either poor, fighting, wars, or danger. I have never seen anything so beautiful as this video! I think u r educating the world with this video. very beautiful!
Im A USA citizen but originally from Zimbabwe i get pissed when people ask or talk only about starvation, poverty, deserts, some parts of starving people i dont refuse that this is in Africa but . Africa is a big continent not Every part of Africa is like that
Africa a paradise in this world....
Takes me breath away! Well done and may the ancestors watch over our great motherland!
what ancestors.....you mean dead people?? See stupid illogical beliefs are the reason why Africa will remain the poorest continent
Visit wealthy countries-streets, buildings, cities, towns...................etc are named after dead people- even the money has dead people on it.
No my friend, Afrika is not poor because it is the richest continent on the planet, which is why it was carved up and is still being pillaged to this day. Afrikans are poor because your leaders have lost their souls and have become puppets to the enemies of Afrika. The Afrikan masses are poor because they are bereft of their historical memory. Africa is a cultural extension of Asia and Europe. You willingly practice their religions, wear their clothes, make their language and politcal systems your main operating ones.
Christians, Jews and Muslims all follow their ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and are flourishing because they have the proper mindset. Imagine putting a Apple operating system into a Microsoft computer and vice versa. They won't be able to function properly. Well, that is what is happening with black people all over the world. You cannot be equal to someone if they are your conquerors and you adopt their ways even when you don't have to. You follow them now because you are convinced that their ways are better. For goodness sake, you even carry their names. Where have all that gotten black people? Yet look at the people we follow.
See Richard, You are wrong, Africa isn`t the poorest continent, its the exploited continent.
Richard k mackin you look like a black bast*rd
Africa is so beautiful i love mama Africa ❤
In these cities you can walk around proud and tall, and respected as a black person, with nobody questioning your humanity. That only happens in the mad lands of America, Europe, and Asia, filled with people steeped in ignorance about Mother Africa. African-Americans should holiday and settle in Africa much more than they presently do. The word is out. Africa is beautiful. Africa is modern. Africa is enjoyable. Peace.
I love this video, As a black American living in Georgia, I didn't know that this Africa existed. All I saw growing up was the constant bad news from the continent. Living in the Atlanta area, I have met so many smart educated Africans and they have expanded my knowledge of the countries in Africa. Thanks for posting this.
Americans where are those lions and tigers you keep on talking about? MY AFRICA MY HOME
Yes ,they keep saying it's natural forest , lol
my heart aches almost on a daily basis as I think about moving to Africa- I have no more tolerance for living in the belly of the beast (US)
55 000 African American moved to Ghana alone ,not to mention other countries. You are welcome to any country in Africa, save yourself some money, and go build you a mansion. 50 to 100 k will be enough. Zambia is the country without any war history in Africa . Don't be scared of poverty, while they discriminate against you.
+marty mart you're welcome home man!
YOU MUST BE CRAZY.
THE ONLY GOOD PARTS OF AFRICA ARE THE PARTS IF THE CONTINENT THAT HAVE BEEN WESTERNIZED.
+The Truth let me assume you've been to Africa and actually stayed..
+Dejan ReSBa Ethiopia is doing very well, at the moment South Africa and Nigeria is where it's at.
What a beautiful content we have, I wish every African can watch this video. It leaves a sense of fulfillment
Long live to Africa and African people. ✊✊✊✊ I was in Botswana and Ethiopia and I have to say that they're better than before, but we've a lot of work to do.
right
that is why i love my africa they work very hard and 2020 you will see more results from this beauty continent. GOGO ÁFRICA.
Mother Africa you are looking beautiful today 😊😊😊
Jerrell hamilton She has always been beautiful and welcoming to all
nairobi is the best
thumbs up for Nairobi, Cairo,and Johannesburg! looks really nice.
Am proud to be African am coming from Kampala Uganda i love my Africa my God bless you for God and my country
For all those who think Africa is poor. IN YOUR FACE!!!
Africa isn't equal to Europe in development, of course. But Africa isn't nearly as bad as it is made out to be in the European media and in the minds of Europeans. Neither is Europe the paradise it's made out to be.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! When I became "enlightened" to what I was missing in terms of the "other" Africa--everything good we typically are NOT exposed to--I felt cheated, lost and anxious to know more. This type of information and imagery, alone, would begin to open eyes to the (unintentional) ignorance many of us have about ourselves and each other. Thank you for sharing your video!
Thank you for this most beautiful video. I actually felt the soul of this incredible continent. Just keep moving forward.
you that are making negative comments about Africa, u have not been there, u r just talking based on hear say, and the news that u v watched on TVs, you know nothing about Africa,let us talk that live in Africa,and in Europa and America, us that has traveled around the globe. Africa hosted a world cup,if it was bad they would nt have allowed the world cup to take place there... Beautiful, green,lovely,kind people with sweethearts....thats Africa,live with it, u cant stop it.
I love the way you write!
love this video! Proud to be Algerian, African🙏🙌
I know. But the majority of them are Berbers aka native north Africans. Anyways African is the person who was born in Africa.
oh yeah I see, tbh I will still say I'm African bc my country is in Africa you know cx but I totally understand you.
Mina xo somepeople are ignorant to say Algerians are not Africans the person who is born Africa and his motherland is in Africa is the real Africans habibti stay blessed proud to be Somalian, African too :)
Habon Mohamed thank you and that's true! Thanks god there's someone who understands me in here cx
LOL woah there, chill. Why are you mad? smh
Kenya.. mmmmmh Proudly
This is BEAUTIFUL and I Love the music! #NaijaSista
All the earth is beautiful. But for me Africa is the most beautiful place in the planet and that includes the Middleeast that is Northwest Africa. Then second place my Caribbean. Third place south America, fourth place Asia including Australia. Five place North America. Six place Europe. But number one Mama Africa diverse people and diverse landscapes I witch Africa was more bigger, with more African and more hebrews. Melaneted people are so beautiful. I am light skin we are beautiful also. Yahuah blessed Africa and the entire one day we will be back in the New heaven and new earth living in peace. For now we cannot enjoy the continent and the earth. Because the earth was giving into the hand of the wicked
There is a Place for Every African American In AFRICA!
What kind of bullshit talk is that? Get on a plane to any African city and see how many whites are on that plane. Almost 60%. They travel to Africa as much as we travel to Europe. Stop the noncense
We as Africans have a great role to play in publicizing the continent like this video is doing. Our silence enables racists continue their assault on the continent. We need to spread to the entirety of the earth, the glorious beauty and riches of the continent.
all we have to do ;is not to show up is not important, important is to do what is right to do,anyone will see it,without forcing
Dalox Tutu Crad432, you have the right approach. We remained passive for too long and that is why the images of Africa are distorted. "KEEP up the FORCE". My African brothers and sisters, keep those videos coming showing the world something other than poor, flies, sadness ,corrupt leaders, war, famine, in- fighting and diseases. As we see, they make and keep some people very nervous.
im from philippines it amaze me. youve been blessed more than us. here we have the most corrupt politics we are also rich in resources but we are robbed everyday by those greedy monster.. your country is a paradise no doubt
R Jensen *54 African countries. Not 25. Even a grade one student in an African country knows that, you idiot!
Lara Cee why call someone an idiot for something that anyone can google?
Rudolph Applegreen re: Lara Cee? She is just a troll. All the information can be checked on the Internet, in university libraries, or on various African government websites.
Rudolph Applegreen probably because "idiot" just like Stupid means : lack of intelligence and R Jensen is the definition of it! if you wanna know about Africa you go there i learn by yourself! plus thinking that google is all about truth and that google is smarter than you...well that just bring you back to what Lara Cee just said!
Rudolph Applegreen Exactly why he's an idiot, right?
This is Africa, the best place to be.Forget about Ebola and all these civil wars and enjoy the beauty of our mother land.Love you Africa.
Literally take out all the tourist funds it would all be Somalia.
you've got it backwards Logic, take out all tourists funds from Europe and it's a rap. Stop with the deflection, Africa had endless other resources.
Leonidas 😭🍼
Sandy Barr Did the Indians sprout from the Ground on this land? Where did they migrate from? Conquest and war over Territory have been ongoing since the beginning of Man, The white man Founded and Built one of the Greatest Empire's in Human History in less the 400 years, The United States of America 🇺🇸 people risk there lives daily to get here!
The Indians were not exactly as peaceful as some want to believe and Tribal wars over Land and Resources were common, there are Wars going on TODAY over land specifically in that Shithole Africa.. As of 1776 The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS A COUNTRY AND ANYBODY BORN HERE IS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN!
Sandy Barr
Answer a question with a question lol.. You claim that this is the Indians land they are "Natives" Well, in fact..No, they were NOT Native and obviously wasn't smart enough, Civil enough or strong enough to build a Country.. Sorry, Truth really doesn't care about your feelings
3:16 yes lagos.represent!!
I don't understand why all the rich African American celebrities in
aren't investing and developing Africa
. Like Jay Z and Beyoncé could surely do something big. Like have their own hotel or airline or develop the agriculture
If I was as rich as them I would try doing something like that, and I'm not even African American (not even American actually)
@@banjotiki3910 or even try and help the impoverished suburbs
Why does the US lie about Africa?
I think it's awful that many white people hate black people just because they have a different skin color. Maybe racism is part of the reason Africa is depicted as such an undeveloped continent. I love people of all colors and wish that everyone else could too.
Reason is so the blacks in America don't get to know the truth. It's a ploy to keep blacks separated. Remember, black unity is a huge threat to white supremacy. The other lie white America will tell black Americans is that black Africans hate them. It's another huge ploy to try and keep us separated.
Whoever keep refering to the colononists building these cities..get your facts right and check how they left Africa in the sixties. Again anything they built with money labour came all from africa...please give us a break!!!
The images + music makes me feel so ..
Lol ikr it’s soooo intense
Halleyuyah!!
All praise the.most high in the name.of Yasha/ Jesus Christ our savior and king of kings!!🙏
I'll bet the gang of racist ass holes at Fox will never show anything positive involving people of color a anywhere.
bigUPs Mama Africa.. Birthplace of ALL man and mankind. Where EVERYTHING began (reading, writing, science, fine arts, astrology, astronomy, math, religion, agriculture, architecture, ... and anything else you can fathom.
#Mama_Africa
Very true buddy!
BlakCrown Soundz It all begun in East Africa for Arabs and for Europeans. But at that time 85 thousand years ago, Bantu (blacks) were still hanging of the trees in Ghana and Guinea. That is where they lived till 1500 AD, when Portuguese established Lagos and traded slaves with Arabs. There were no Bantu Africans in East Africa till 18th century. As far as sciences in sub Saharan (South of Sahara) Africa? Yes in 15-16th century, some Arab mathematicians and astronomers thought sciences at Timbuktu madrassa. As identified in manuscripts found in Timbuktu library. When Arabs left Timbuctu in 19th century, blacks have managed to destroy large number of these manuscripts. That is how much they have appreciated the sciences.
***** what are you inferring to? Surely not that racist crap above, written by some half literate moron? The fact is that Europeans (Greeks) have learned about mathematics, architecture and medicine from Persians and Arabs. You have heard of al-gebr? Or perhaps not, you are just a primitive, repeating some racist rant. The fact is that Middle East .. Sumerians (todays Iraq and Syria) were the birthplace of European culture and in most cases, the origin of European tribes. Now you are probably thinking .. yeah, but who thought Arabs? Trust me, at that time 5-6 thousand years ago, "your ancestors" were still swinging from tree to tree. You were what they call, late developers.
***** hope u ain't smoking something?
greetings from Cairo, Egypt! Mama Africa
Hi, LET'S PLAY 🔝🔝🔝 AMAZING GAMES 👈 👈 👈 😃😃😃
As a South African, this video makes my heart swell with pride... This is INDEED our beautiful continent... VIVE L'AFRIQUE!!!!
Huh
Oh my God. I almost cried(Lol my soft ass.). Those places are beautiful
I long to go to Africa. I am proud to be African.
Beautiful, everything great originated from Africa
nothing is great for you if can't understand this written statement...you can't read troll.
Africa is beautiful and adventurous. Im glad i didn't listen to people and took the journey. Its a amazing place and my second. Shout out to Lagos Nigeria :)
text me back on google account thing
Africa is is my heart......Africa is full of mysterious nature things......Africa is my home land.......I love Africa and Am proud to be African......Viva Mama Africa
I think of all the Lies Te Lie Vision has told about Africa. And yet u see all this wealth & modern looking cities. I am an African American who has never been to Africa but would very much would like to go some day. I have many African friends from places like Ethiopia, Congo, Nigeria, & so forth. All of whom are very nice. I think we as African Americans get fed lies about our continent of Africa where all life on this planet started from. Some African Americans believe we are not even wanted there, like Africans wouldn't want us to come visit. I think they would welcome us with open arms. A lot of African Americans however have been brainwashed into thinking otherwise. I think that they don't want us to know our history which we have a vast array of. I found out when doing my family tree that my ancestors are from Nigeria. They say most African American Ancestors can be traced to West African Countries.
Come visit!
kingsley Hyacinth And the igbos are isrealites
vizzel1000 welcome to kenya
I don't think so lying troll!!
vizzel1000 in fact you won't even recognize African American... Because we are all the same we love you guys but whites vividly stand out to be different
Thanks for the video Africa is beautiful indeed
thank u for opening my eyes!
I'm waiting for the white supremacists to spam this video.
Oh my!! Woooooooow!!! God bless Africa!!!! So beaitiFUL! I pray the colonizers out of our lovely homeland!! What a dream and what a day it would be for US ALL to go back home!! If African Americans were able to see these sights, America would be a distant past. Thank you so much for sharing. ✊🏾💗💗
Wow this is so beauiful and i love the music its so nice.I always wanted to go to africa after my teacher went there and she said it was beauiful.Thank for sharing and I dont know whats going on with this embola virus but it plays no games.Fake or not I pray we all get through this and be safe
I can understand u being worried about your safest. First of all let me assure you that the situation is not as bad as they make you think it is. Africa is a continent of 54 countries and only 3 countries are ebola-affected countries ( Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone). Which means 51 countries are completely safe. Don't forget the same people that never show you these images of Africa, are the same people you let inform you? Will you keep listening to them?!! That's a choice you need to make. And btw none of those affected countries were shown in this video
stop making these videos or we'll stop getting international Aid lol
Who said this please? Can you show your face.
JACKIE BLAKE why
Its not a question of why. I mean I don't see what is the problem of whose making these beautiful videos. They're are actually showing you how beautiful Africa is, you know the real Africa. It really does make a change in seeing the negative side of Africa because that is what is been constantly shown to us the negative side, trying to say that all Africa is like this when it isn't. So please why do you object because there's noting bad about it or is it SCARING!!! YOU. So please tell me what seems to be the problem.
JACKIE BLAKE i thought you were the one who replied to me saying show your face so i wanted to know y
Look I guess we don't need to know each other's face, maybe I'm getting a bit extreme there, like getting a bit extreme making that comment. Just want to really know why you object to this beautiful video. So I ask you again why do you object please. I just want your feedback, is that so bad?
Africa is beautiful, live with it!
Africa is a beautiful place but because the media in the U.S. wants to paint the narrative that it is filled with poverty and only starvation some never learn the truth of what Africa really looks like. I hope one dya that I can go to the homeland and witness the incredible cities and the people.
Most diversely built buildings I've ever seen.
Jesus loves you!
We have been lie to far to long
Not really. The video just displays centralised areas of relative economic wealth within the largest continent. It pays no mention to the horrible GDP of it's nations, the awful crime rate etc.
Must be new to the board. The GDP experts came and left a few years ago when they realized that the country with the biggest gdp in the world has the same problems. They packed up their indexes and left.
You can thank the chines and other European countries for the rise of Africa. They build it up, but steal it's resources.
To bad you can't give credit to African people for building it or financing it. Many if not all places in africa that have any remote city worth mentioning were formed and founded by European or out side nations like the Chinese, dutch, Middle eastern, etc, They build stuff, but steal Africa's resources. Take South Africa for example it was founded by the Dutch aka Holland and they formed their government and started the whole thing to what it is today.
Europe is home, be happy to be there. They come to African videos praising Europe all the time.
i served in the U.S. army so i know first hand how america can make a country look bad. when you think of south korea you tend to think of some shit like vietnam or kim jung ill. but when i stayed there for a year i fell in love with it and almost didnt want to come back. united states is the fucking matrix and so many countries are gaining on us or already even better where its not funny. id love to visit africa one day. This video was amazing. if you want to see somewhere do your personal research, were blessed with the internet now so you can get the opinions of others
I live in South Africa and since early 2014 technology and engineering has been moving fast right now it's February 2015 and 80% of south Africans are using smart phones to communicate, study etc. even preteens and teenagers.
Great video. Please do a second one. Many many more new cities and improvements since this video was made.
the africa they never show you
it is shocking they should show people this
Sandy Barr Yeah, it shocked the world to see that African is more than poor, flies, sadness, corrupt leaders, and daily challenges.
max croom It's sad to see that it shocks people to see that Africa is like any other continent-that it looks just like the rest of the world.
*REWATCHED!!*

I love being black
Who would believe that such magnificent cities are in the so-called "sh*thole" countries? God bless #Africa.
Sweet darling Loreen, thank you so much for uploading this beautiful piece. Yes, they never show us American people of color our Motherland. An Irish man who sings in a band here in the States comes from South Africa and speaks highly of it.
This generation of Africans have lost the notion of progress and self-determination and are total demoralized without knowing. These ideas were current merely 50 - 70 years ago during the struggle for independence, and within a very specific context: riddance of European domination of all aspects of African societies: economical, social, political, and militarily.
That the goal of economic, political, and social self-determination is now substituted by flashy "infrastructure and some skyscrapers" on a tenuous or non-existent local foundation, hardly any of which were built by African engineers, shows the total intellectual disconnect between todays African and the founding fathers of our modern states. It is worthy to note that the current project of national pride in Ethiopia, the GERD dam, is being built by Italian Contractors simply because local expertise is non-existent. What rational explanation can be given except that, when this heavily capitalized project is being financed locally by government bonds?
This is the real situation in Luanda, Angola:

I am ashamed that those who are obviously literate enough to post these videos don't think deeply enough. Unfortunately they are the most vocal in public opinion or government and will be leading us back into our pre-independence states if more sane people don't take control.
What meaningful measures of progress do the countries shown in the video have?:
1. How many of their universities use texts at the advanced level that are written by local intellectuals?
2. What is the actual literacy rate beyond the primary level?
2. What percentage of the economies is actually controlled by ingenuous industries?
3. Is there an active heavy industrial sector and is it indigenously controlled?
4.What percentage of highly skilled workforce are locally educated and indigenous?
5. How many of the countries shown here actively promote deep social, moral, and cultural values, which are the foundation of any national identity?
These are a few of the real measures not buildings and highways. Unfortunately, a major aspect of the reality is what we see on the news which should humble us into deep thought and action.
It is saddening, if not callous, to site Angola as an example: the leadership of this country is a huge let down because, after a tragic civil war of 20 years, the government is catering more to Europeans and appears to be more concerned about bailing out Portugal's economy and providing jobs to Brazilians than building a competitive work force. How about providing for the millions who had hopes after the civil war? Majority of Angolans live in shanty towns surrounding the glitzy cities whiles expatriate Portuguese and Brazilians take refuge from their economic woes in Luanda.
you make good points but the video is a step in the right direction, many people's heart will be uplifted and hopefully changed for the better as well.
We are gods! I am happy to be an African!!!! I love Mama Africa!!!
Thank u for a little beautiful movie. Places I have never been to I just traveled around in my mind. Thank u for the beautifulest songs ever. Thank u!
you forgot one of the most important countries: MOROCCO!!!!!!!
This is very beautiful I love to see my black people rise and prosper.
i love my Africa
And mind you this video according to updated year which is 2009 a lot of improvement has happened in Africa since then
This is only a teaser; apart from being made in 2009, there are plenty more better sights of Africa. I study in North America but I Can't wait to go back to Africa. I live my life there. I miss talking with all my neighborhood, I miss the sun, the food, the music, the people. People are so much kind, helpful and sympathical there. I wish there was good french speaking universities there, I wouldn't have come in this country :(
I agree! They don't show these parts of Africa in the media, however I was sooo surprised when they showed the city part of Africa on Avengers 2 movie.
***** Okay that's your opinion and I won't fight you down for it. I don't blame you for believing everything the media shows you. I too once believed that all of Africa was poor until a lot of people I know started traveling there and they were surprised because it was no way near as what the media portrayed and said it was just like Europe. That's why I don't believe everything the media feeds me and I would only judge a place based on my experience and not the bias media. The media only shows the poor parts of Africa because it generates the most interest and they turn down the positive stories. No one cares what America gives a crap about, do you feel people wake up each morning for the sole purpose of pondering ways to impress you people. Hell no!! If the media only portrayed the trailer slums part America, wouldn't you think that everyone outside of America would believe that all of America was like that.
***** I know that and as I said before if they only portrayed the trailer slums in America everyone would believe it was like that. Meaning that there are rich and poor parts of every single country, it is something that an economy cannot escape. But why only portray the negative parts of Africa? Why not show the poor parts of England or France too?
saharatopia I hope, that you are not comparing trailer parks in USA to African slums? You should visit slums in equatorial Africa. Outside the slums of India, nothing compares.
saharatopia That guy General and S.Sailer are just white Supremacists who hate to see anything good about Africa. Don't try to reason with them. Africa has extremly rich people and extremely poor but the media focuses on the poor. Even the poorest Africans, unless they live in slums in big cities are usually leading comfortable stress free lives in their villages because they own their houses/huts depending on their abilities, they grow their own food, raise their own livestock etc, . Statisticians love to say Africans living on less than a dollar are poor but wouldn't you live on a dollar a day if you didn't have to worry about rent, food, electricity etc?
Finally, most African economies are growing very rapidly and lots of Western Europeans will in the not so distant future be moving to look for jobs in Africa . Indeed lots of Portuguese are already running to Angola and Mozambique to look for jobs. www.theguardian.com/world/2012/sep/16/portuguese-exodus-angola-el-dorado

OMG i love Africa !!
African are the nicest and the happiest people in the world !!
Peace and love to all my african brothers and sisters
I am from Nairobi, Kenya! Born and raised, and 'yes' the 'well to do' enjoy a type of life that the American Upper class can only hope to enjoy. I was blessed, but I grew up seeing how my next to next door neighbours lived. I have seen riches that you cannot imagine, and poverty you cannot endure. I love these videos because they paint a very different view, of the view that you have of us 'Africans'. I also know what the reality is for us Africans...but I can stick my head up high and say that, 'except for our thieving and lying politicians (ours have been PROVEN to be 68% worse than yours when it comes to graft!! ~ Our presidents are at 800%)
Graft? Please explain. Yes, I am African American would love to come home to the Motherland.
Filmtress Mu No such thing as African American, u either American or ur African. u need to listen to that song but its true thoo.
No, QB. I don't have to choose one or the other. But you do. You stick with your description of yourself and I'll stick to mine. Actually, I'm a Primordial being but I don't think you understand this. Keep it moving.
Why?? God4bids but lets say der was war btw 2 other country and Americans sided for country one and Africans sided for country 2. which would u side??
Just becos we are in der country dnt mean we have to be like them, am nt saying we shouldnt accept their culture but we JUST SHOULDNT BE LIKE THEM.
being born and raised in America doesnt really make u an American cos ur parents arent really Americans.
Who says "African Americans" are like the white man? Or want to be? The white people are NOT true Americans. They are invaders. They established what they call the United States. The real Americans are the Indians. Many include us. The real Indians are Copper Color and very dark skinned. There were lots of Africans who were already here in America. Just because I say I'm African American doesn't mean I'm with them. It means that I am of the group that was possibly ripped and pulled from the Motherland and held in bondage. My lineage survived an ugly era. Just claiming African takes that away. So I'll claim it as I see fit. I'm really Primordial/Lemurian/Nubian Goddess but I'll settle for something simpler for now. In the meantime, lets just enjoy this video, huh?
This video is old. Lagos is more beautiful and developed more than this.
but you can't deny Lagos has came a long way...
Shocked as hell.
