    I have never been to Africa, I have always wanted to visit Africa (South Africa, to be specific) but after watching one of Tayo Aina's videos about Namibia, that's now my new destination of choice. I really admire Tayo Aina for his concerted effort in showing the ignorant world that Africa isn't a country (it's a CONTINENT), that it's not just wildlife and poverty and that It's not the best country in the world but it's also not the worst. Keep up the good work!

I am more vigilant and aware of my surroundings in SA, but nothing is stopping me from living and enjoying life there. On the other hand, I am also vigilant and aware in Amsterdam. The only difference is, crime rates in e.g., The Netherlands are not on display as it is for countries in Africa. There are a few 'rules' I am following (also adviced by friends that I met there): (1) stash it, don't flash it, (2) money withdrawal only from atm's inside, (3) not walking back roads or streets, (4) not roaming the streets by foot in the evenings.

Funny enough in some of the classes Professors used to tell us the challenges that European countries face in governance, but we never get to hear that side of a story, only rainbows and butterflies. With regards to education, we didn't educate ourselves, it was imposed on us through colonial education and it was somehow conditioned in our minds that knowing about them is something to be cherished.

    It's interesting how they mentioned everything except People; they mentioned food, nature and natural resources yet they barely mentioned the African People. And that's the problem Europeans and the west in general have when dealing with Africa. They only see its nature and its resources. They never see the people and that's messed up. They behave as if Africa exists free of people. It's all nature and natural resources to exploit. Nothing else. They need to learn to see the people, then and only then will they truly understand Africa.

    Unique content considering what we know Tayo for. But, great idea. From someone who have done something similar before I must say it’s not easy stopping people randomly to speak to them.
    I don’t know if people watching this video noticed MOZAMBIQUE and ANGOLA comes up a lot. The reason is because these are some of the LUSOPHONE countries. Considering Tayo did this street interview in Lisbon, Portugal you can understand Lusophone countries (Portuguese speaking)coming up. Imagine doing the same in Paris or London you can imagine Nigeria coming up a lot in London. Having said this South Africa came up a lot too and understandably arguably the most developed country in Africa. As per the poverty narrative. I reserve my comment but Africa is rising and this narrative will change.

    Plus the difficulty of approaching people will be overcome the more times it's done.
    It is importantto not overthink about rejection or how they feel because your atmosphere can create how you want them to feel.
    Because they don't know what you want, you have to behave friendly yet positive like you know them (smile, cheerful, funny, calm, charismatic or whatever is needed) introduce yourself quickly
    Eg. Begin with Hi 👋 lady in red, let me take, share, steal one minute or excuse me! (Be funny) I'm Tie from you tube University or studies and I'm currently conducting an exciting study to see how much the average person knows about Africa...
    Some will walk away but treat them friendly, say "have a nice day. Then think positively that the next one will stop or simply go to those that are already relaxed 🎯
