Why are you shopping from Adorama!?!? That's where all the big time movie people shop in downtown NYC (and film students too). I'm not necessarily an advocate for shopping on Amazon, but you can find decent external mics there for less than 50 USD. Meanwhile for the price on Adorama you could get a whole new vlogging camera.

Ok may god help you
Et merci encore
We are one as Africans, we should feel free everywhere on the continent, I love grâce’s courage.
Congo & Nigeria connection, this is how it should be Africa for Africans.
we like nigeria but we do not want Rwandan
@@JeremithegamerJTG more Rwandans live in Congo than Nigerians
I'm a Congolese living in South Africa, thank you for showcasing my country ,I hope you've been treated well and my country is one of the most welcoming country in Africa where felow African brother live peacefully
true 🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩 i'm congolese too and can say that true
Yes i love my country
I BELIEVE YOU 👉
Congo and Nigerian the two African superpower ❤️❤️❤️
super power?!!in science or music and only wood
Let's be realistic, Africa will host a number of regional powers including DR Congo, Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya others to soon join are Ghana, Ivory Coast, Angola, Tanzania, Algeria ...
@@gukira9105 Good point we need to take research in science seriously and fund research located in Africa.
If we put as much effort into science as we do in entertaining others we'd be a lot better off.
I swear to God, you're correct 👍👍👍
@@africanday7337 thank you, the bigger nations sometimes fall into the trap that they have a monopoly of wealth and power in Africa. This is a serious mistake. Even the tiniest nation has outstanding individuals who can make a big difference. When all of Africa is flourishing we can then benefit.
This is so good we all Africans 🇨🇩🇳🇬
True.
true 🇨🇩🇳🇬
This Nigerian brother that lives in Congo since 96 looks so much Congolese. I guess if he don’t say they won’t know.
Thanks for the video. I once worked in the DR Congo as a civilian staff with the UN peacekeeping Mission. I once stayed in Kinshasa for seven days. It was magical. I mean I was shocked with the level of comfort I had staying in the ordinary part of town.The Congolese are hooked to our Nollywood and music.Even when they couldn't follow the language they still flocked around their TVs and were able to relate the stories of the movies to me.That is telepathic. They respect Nigerians very much for our work ethics and intelligence, I didn't take tht for granted at all. Thanks.
Wow!!! That's quite encouraging for a tourist. I love Fally Ipupa - "Associé na ngai"
Literally all Congolese grew up watching Nigerian Nollywood 😎🙏🏾
I grew up watching The Rumble in the Jungle boxing of Zaire, 1974. Also dancing the music of Sam Mangwana, Franco, Le TP OK Jazz - Toujours ok 😃
@@jayh243 nah u the only one lmao

Welcome Nigerians
You are welcome as long as you bring love and peace....🇨🇩 🇳🇬
Thank you, we love you too
true i also like nigeria 🇳🇬 grew up listening to some nigeriams music in kinshasa congo 🇨🇩🇳🇬
This was an informative video. All Afrikans can live as one. It is the Europeans who under cover cause problems in these countries.
Thank you
We don't even need these useless countries borders. We only need one Africa
When an Igbo man trader tells you, "we are trying small small" just know he is making a killing. Ogbugo ozu na high sea.

Thanks for this comment
Sending sister Grace ALL the positive energy on her journeys. 👊🏾
I’m putting in lots and lots of more positive energy in that your huge positive energy parcel to her 👊🏾❤️
At least it is not like South Africa.The Congolese have no problem with Nigreians or other Africans .
We never had problem with anyone.
Is some of our neighbours like, Rwanda, Uganda etc who have problem with us. They’re even killing us.
But there is a huge number of Congolese in south africa running away from war is war over okay you only fight with yourself interesting south africans fight outsiders not themselves 😭😭😭😭
@@dineomolapo9934 That's because the Eastern part of my country is still home to militia groups from Rwanda, and Uganda
@@dineomolapo9934 we don't really there are a lot of people in congo who look for problems and most of them are not congolese but people from Rwanda
@@dineomolapo9934 and there is really no war in congo it stoped already don't trust the media
Another interesting episode, like the one Nigerian you interviewed in his shop said obtaining visa to enable you travel through the continent is not necessary, I rightly second that reasoning, but then let's look at it from another perspective not all African economies are the same in size, there are a lot of issues that needed to be addressed, for instance talking about the inequalities in the economies, some countries in the motherland tend to be extremely attractive whilst others are not, there must be some mechanism by the AU to be tracking the influx of people, which parts of the continent needs the different types of labor force so that over influx people in certain areas doesn't lead to tension and over stretching of that local economy
You are right, in Europe they managed to do it in 2006 when over ten countries were accepted in the EU, I remember people from the less poorer countries mostly from Eastern Europe swarmed western Europe, I was in the republic of Ireland at the time, it was like a gold rush!!!
@@mosesturyahabwe6239 So some form of control needs to be established to protect native populations or we could end up with more xenophobic episodes.
Someone with common sense..
And they say South Africa is xenophobic without even understanding our situation.
Where there is scarcity there's bound to be problems
@@tholendlovu1700 what Leopold wrote is absolutely true and valid yet it can not be used to justify South Africans being xenophobic. There is scarcity in other countries with refugees they did not turn xenophobic because of it. Xenophobia can not be justified under any excuses.
@@fatou1975 maybe you think the term xenophobia bothers us, you can come up with more other
terms we'd still wouldn't be bothered.
We've welcomed people in the country across the globe for over a decade with no issues and 3 altercations makes us xenophobic?
A question to you now how did those altercations come about?
And why is the term refugee coined to those people who have settled in the country.. could it not been for infighting amongst themselves ?
What do you coin that?
Yaaay You did it thank you so much, I suggested it on your last live , thanks for following up with this interview and keep sharing the light 💡 on Africa. Let’s us know when is your next live in the community I would love to participate and share some more key things with you and this journey , We are all part of the same fight for a new Africa
Yesss!😀. We will do another livestream soon
I love nigerians they are hardworking people .africans lets learn to love one another.i am a zim. in zim maybe 40per people are not zim .malawi .moza..zambians .southafrican having land in zim .we dont fight .how can i fight my own people we are one.we share everything land belongs to God.

There's no borders here in United Kingdom. Even in Europe there are no borders. Africa should unite and stop this border stuff. Thanks for Sharing Sis Bless you.
PREACH ON
What is the work of the African Union
We are getting there pretty soon. There is the African Free Trade Area Agreement to which most countries have subscribed. There will soon be free movement of goods, services and people.
I agree with you. Is the same Africa. We have to build our own countries
Africa Motherland 🌍🌹
A question you didn't ask the president of the nigerian union : 'where are located nigerian citizens in DRC apart from Kinshasa?
Thank you for your support 🇨🇩👁️👁️🙌🏽
One love AFRICA. “United we stand, divided we fall”
Yes, United we stand
You always do a good job, May GOD bless you abundantly!
Thank you, Amen
I really appreciated the way you do your vlog and videos,by presenting DRC because many people around the world they know only about war from this side of eastern part (Kivu etc...)
I'm from Congo-Brazzaville and I have been twice in DRC(Kinshasa),people from DRC are very kind and most of my friends they are from DRC.
I left my country since 2004,been in South Africa for 11 years now working in tourism sector between Seychelles and Mauritius.
Yes, we have to tell the true story of who we are
Africa for Africans!! loved this.
I love African and I am proud to be Nigeria
You r run by a puppet government that running the country to the ground.
I am a Congolese maried to a Nigerian 🇨🇩💖🇳🇬
my wife you are welcome
Your intro music always send me dancing!
Yes oh💃😀
@@africanstoryteller please, Grace drop the name of the singers.
Thanks for video about Nigerians living and doing business in the Congo.
Congo DRC with Capital at Kinshasa is a very big size country.
Thanks very much for showing us the beauty of Africa😘
Nigerians are hard working who spread their wings all over, bringing their business spirit everywhere.
Yes, I was pleasantly surprised to find them here
Grace thank you for your best vidéo in KINSHASA I'like so mutch your work and mouvement you can follow your best reportages in KINSHASA.
Thank you
@@africanstoryteller you should go to goma is good thrre too but go with someone who knows it amd cam show you places it not super dangerous but it just better with a local who knows it well amd can show you good places
please show other places in DR congo then just goma
Thanks for your interview. Next time remember to chip in some questions too,like if they marry the locals .
Alright, I will
Not surprised at all Nigerian are all over and to make money, and the igbo community especially. One Africa,one love😍😍😍. People forget the population of Nigeria. Biggest in Africa , so you will see Nigerian migration.
Just subscribed. You are doing great with good contents.
Thank you and welcome to my TH-cam family 🤗😍😍
Grace, you luke 100% Congolese, like member of my Congolese family.
Yes, I am
We look the same, have similar cultures, we’re all African, one love ❤️
Thanks grace nuff love and respect. One love. Iceblack
Nigerians are everywhere you go in the world. I even seen one in Antarctica.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 seriously?
I mean 1 out of all black people in the world are Nigerians lol
Yes we are your Indians and Chinese of Africa
😝😝😝😝😜😜😜😁😁😁
One love guys. Igbo Kwenu! I don't trust that "Small Small" my brodaaaaa.With love from Kenya.
Well, we're all one people, so why would Nigerians in Congo be a problem? I'm Congolese and say no to xenophobia.
Is the peace between Rwanda and DRC? I heard that eastern Congo has some rebels?
@@AfricaTekk rwanda want our natural ressources they r working for white ppl
@@rrr-sy3ql true we must fight back but people need to stop filming how much money congo has like the video about the mountain full of gold they need to stop if they keep on doing that they are just showung our money
@@AfricaTekk well the only problem are the rebels but rwanda is the problem they want war with us but we just want peace
@@rebeccam.7249 You are contradicting yourself. You have stated that the ONLY problem are the rebels. But in the same statement you have stated that Rwanda is the problem. I want to believe that Rwanda and the rebels are different entities. I think DRC/Rwanda conflict is very complex which is further compounded by existence of precious minerals in Eastern Congo. Who are the rebels and what are they endlessly rebelling against?
Virtue Grace: You are as graceful as your name. You are articulate and fluent. You can do more for Africa if you add some history and interviews of locals.
Thank you, I will. Any topic suggestions?
@@africanstoryteller short African culture, indigenous religion, and history.
@@africanstoryteller If you do not have time, try to give us some info on local markets
LIVE IN OUR COUNTRY DRCONGO AND RESPECT SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF COUNTRY .THIS IS THE ONLY THING WE ASK YOU
How? Respect is reciprocal.....
Igbo my Igbo people! ✊🏾
You are sure to find us thriving in every corner of Africa
Everywhere, I tell you 😀🤗 #igbokwenu
Stop the tribalism connotation and lets be Africans!!!
@@sammesamme-nlar2829 Exactly! What is it about Igbos that makes them think that the only identity they should carry with them as they travel around the world is their "Igboness"??? Why do they lack a Nigerian outlook? Africans are trying to create and nurture an African identity. But the Igbos commenting here and elsewhere are not even concerned about nurturing a Nigerian identity. It is their "Igboness" that they strive to push forward. Dear Igbos, I love you all. I think we all do. Your creative aggression is a plus for Africa if well channelled. But we are trying to nurture an African identity. So bring onto the African platform, your Nigerian identity. Igbo identity is too narrow for a Panafricanist mindset that Africans must develop.
@@georgeodhiambo598 I really appreciate you for your comments but please if you are not a Nigerian try to know why igbos prefer to identify as Igbos instead of Nigerians. The truth remains that the Igbos are not don't believe in the Nigeria created by the colonial power and that's why the identify as Igbos before saying Nigeria and they are hoping to leave the Nigerian colonial contraption one day. So that's why. Just try to ask any Nigerian around you and you will know that they Igbos have been agitating for over 50yrs
@@SpiderDike-kb8dh No, I am not a Nigerian, not even a West African. I am aware of some historical aspects of Igbos within the Nigerian context. So there is some fire burning threatening to cause more disunity in Africa. Would you want to be the generation to be remembered for putting out the fire or do you want to be remembered for adding more fuel to the fire? How do we hope to build a more united whole from a more fragmented Africa? An Africa we are busy fragmenting ourselves? How will Nigeria be taken seriously when it comes to the table of Panafricanism but as a divided quarrelling unit? What is it about Igbos in Nigeria that is beyond resolution? Colonisers did not draw up any boundary in Africa while taking into account the prevailing conditions on the ground. The boundaries were arbitrarily created only to serve the interests of the colonial powers. But then, they went away, more than 60 years ago. What are we doing to develop an Afrocentric view of things?
Another good one, pls keep it up.
Thank you
God bless Africa
@Virtue Grace sister, you are making history!
Thank you
Good job. Keep on keeping on.
Thank you
Africa is one , love and peace!
I wanna visit Congo soon; the region where locals discovered a mountain of Gold and other precious stones
That’s in the eastern part of the country. N you will need escort for that my brother
Goma is a beautiful city for tourists. I trust if Moise Katumbi becomes president, the entire country will experience peace and development with Motorway from Kinshasa to Lubumbashi
Love your videos, you should have asked him like how many Nigerians are in their association so that we have an idea of how many Nigerians in the Congo
That was a nice content.. Make it a habit anywhere you travel now as part of your content.creations.
Yes, I will. It's a series in content now
Good job my sister, just joined ur family.

@YAH' NATA TSHILOMBO nononoooo
@YAH' NATA TSHILOMBO ALL BANTOUS Are not Jewish people we can't talk about it on TH-cam!
@@yveskibambe there's a lot to say about following our ancestors: Salomon and the queen of saba, we are from the lineage of judah even in the bible there is some specific evidence but TH-cam is so limited to talk about.
Take a look: www.britannica.com/topic/Kadima
We both know that kadima is a Luba name so why do kadima is located in Israel as touristic territory and political party ...
There's many more ,like a rabbin on the Jewish orthodox community and Also from the Levites lineage CALLED LUBAVITCH do you think it's something randomly called like that.
We have to find another platform to communicate and I will give you many explanations.

Africa we are one apart of South africa
Are we really one? There is ethnic fighting in Ethiopia right now. Tigray vs Government
There you are talking about the fight of one nation Ethiopians, but we are talking about the African continent which is one as one people apart of south africans
@@houstonbirinda5648 Are Ethiopians are not Africans? Their fight is not important bcos it's internal? Their fight is affecting the whole Africa because there is a refugee crisis
@@AfricaTekk Even Europeans, Arabs, Chinese, Indians etc also fight, so nothing strange
@@nenitafrica6851 just bcoz other ppl are fighting that does not mean we must do it too
I am surprised to find out Nigerians living in Congo and not working in the embassy or for their government
Actually, they are plenty! We blend perfectly together! Someone from Lagos will feel at ease, ones the language barrier broken. Kinshasa, Cairo and Lagos are the biggest and busiest cities of the continent. All of them counting more than 15 millions inhabitants.
I'm not surprised. Nigerians are not known for scrupulously following rules relating to international travel. Additionally, DR Congo is a much larger and wealthier country, so more opportunities abound.
@@oceejekwam6829 Much wealthier? How?
@@billinuma8078 DR Congo has the largest untapped mineral reserves in Africa estimated at $19 trillion, we have not looked at agriculture and forestry etc. Nigeria is barely making $430 billion/ year and that includes everything combined.
@@oceejekwam6829 I wonder where you get that information from! Nigeria earns between $20 and $27 billion from oil and gas alone. In terms of potential Nigeria has a lot of minerals too. I think as Africans this focus on minerals has not helped in any way. In terms of earnings or the size of her economy, DRC is nowhere close to countries like Ethiopia, Kenya, or Tanzania. Nigeria is by far Africa's largest economy.
Nigerians are good people .we love theme
Thank you
Then Ghanaians will tell u Nigerians are taken their job. Nigerians are everywhere in Africa. I visited Cameroon and I thought I was in Nigeria
is jealousy and bitterness I have visited Ghana I could not live in that country for a week
We must start rebuking that mentality and it's even worse in South Africa
If u good wav the business wy not we kongolais we welcome every one sins the sixteen
From what I've read, African ppl have been criss-crossing the continent since the moment we landed there. That will always continue.
The watch word is doing business legally and obeying the laws of the land! Ghana will continue to uphold it's laws regardless of who whether indian or nigerian
Just too crowded for me. Wow!
So much like Lagos.

That is a good thing, because often, few criminals among us gives Nigerians a bad name.
