It is very illegal here to spread money we value our currency so much that we do not allow it to be stepped on anyhow, no drinking and smoking here. Never call me auntie because i am not your maid lol. Batswana and their funny way, i used to hear people here on YT calling me mom yoo ae i couldn't stand that but now i am fine. I learnt it means no harm. No harassing people here the police go lock you in the cell. Here we wear camouflage clothes tell them sis. Thanks for sharing sister
Never call me Auntie because im not your maid caught me 😂🤣😂🤣 everybody needs to see this comment sis I’m pinning it ooo 🥰🥰 thanks for this input African princess ❤️❤️
@@helengeorgeslifestyle My sister you know in Botswana if someone is maid they call her auntie so no one should call me that🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. You are welcome my darling sister
That's true, in Botswana we hate fights. We try by all means to avoid fighting
Yes oo you guys are very calm💕 we are the indabosiki 😀
The best teaching so far. I met a Nigerian who insulted us and even say Botswana is a bush and poor. He said Nigeria can feed all of us including our President. I told him but we Batswana never go to Lybia or cross oceans to Italy. I made sure to pass his name to the relevant office. He will never step his foot in Botswana. He cant insult my President and I fold my arms like that.
Good reply to a fool.
As a Nigerian, I hate proud and arrogant individuals. I'm married to a beautiful, descent Matswana woman who is a lawyer. Nice and descent people. God bless the Republic of Botswana.
Unfortunately the bush comments come from other nationalities too. Bitter people have nothing good to say.
Imagine how stupid he sounded that was bad and i love what you did i hope he doesnt step his foot here NONSENSE!
@@taofeekogundiwin8111 Amen . Well done sir 🙏
@@taofeekogundiwin8111 O yes, I know a Yoruba man in our town . Best ever Nigerian I met. He feeds Street kids. Rare to find, he is atleast creating a good name for Nigeria. My Dentist friend from Edo is also supporting me to feed Street children in our town. No matter how other Nigerians are tarnishing their country's name , these 2 guys I know are doing wonders. I love them so much these 2 brothers of mine. My brothers from other mothers.
Dumelang maa ! I like all your videos. I love Botswana 🇧🇼. I stayed 16 years in Gaborone . Now I live in USA 🇺🇸 but I like Botswana 🇧🇼. Keep it up 👍
Awww Dumelang raa and thank you so much 💕
dumelang Batswana 🇧🇼
we are big on respect sis. it's all about respect and treating people with utnost respect and manners. we don't take nonsense and we don't like violence, we want peace 😂 🤞🏾
"Even if you don't like it give a thmbs up"🤣🤣🤣I couldn't resist 🤣🤣🤣
Yaah my country my Botswana 🇧🇼 that's how we have been raised.PEACE AND HARMONY we are proud of them
✌💯👌🥰🇧🇼
I enjoy seeing my country from your eyes.😉 You see that Seswaa.? Ehn.. It should be a must for everyone that comes to Botswana 🇧🇼 Like always I loved the video
Yes oo Seswaa should be a must👌 Thank you so much Gladys for always watching i appreacite you 🙌💕💕
No. 4 & 7 are very true.
Botswana is a very calm and peaceful nation. We avoid arguments as much as possible. We believe in settling differences respectfully. 'BOTHO' is an integral part of our culture.
Also we very proud nd patriotic.
💯👌✌💕
we speak 2 languages in Botswana" setswana & English.do you speak english all of you in Nigeria...a country with far too many dylex😂 European some cant even speak international language
Sis Helen you said all I really love to listen to you talking yes and I am already in love with this African country is so organized and I can't wait to visit this country just to everything you are saying with my own eyes thanks for beautiful sit down video as always remain blessed sis 🙏🏾❤️👍🏾🥰
What I have realised is every country have their own style and culture. That’s why is good to be observant and don’t make assumptions what is acceptable in ur country won’t be acceptable in another. Love the way u put out these facts 😊
Exactly every country and their way 👌 thanks for watching vera 💕💕
No sister I don’t agree with you when saying don’t call everyone sister uncle brother you’re not telling the truth cc in Botswana we respect every unduly dear correct that one I am a motswana
Most of then they don't like aunti thing😮
I'm from Botswana but some of these things aren't quite true. There's nothing wrong with calling someone brother, whether it's someone u know or not. Aunty is aunt, ur mum's sister n it's also used, it's just that in the recent years people started attaching negativity to the name using it to mock or spite others to mean an old lady. Drunk driving happens week in week out, that's why bars n clubs are always packed with cars every weekend, so people break the law all the time despite heavy penalties.
People will always be people😀 thanks for educating us about the Aunty and brother stuff 💕
@@helengeorgeslifestyle But Helen is right , she didn't say it is wrong but just a warning for a foreigner to not expect the same energy as back home when they refer to a total stranger as 'aunt' and about drinking and she is also right, when police see you drinking while driving, instantly you are on the wrong side of the law, and test will be conducted, so that was a good caution as well, i think she is only wrong about smoking, you can drive and smoke in your private car as long as it is not marijuana which is illegal in BW.
@@calvinfranklin2927 I know she didn't say it's wrong. But I don't want other people to think we don't quite know the meaning of aunty in the English vocabulary for us to find it offensive hence I explained. The drunk driving I believe is illegal in all countries across the world, it's not just a Botswana thing.
She is quite it is quite to here someone calling another my brother,there is a way we refer to each other unlike in Nigeria brother is quite often in references,Phemo Bolokwe it depends where you are she is relating on most of her experiences
Well thats coz auntie is wat the kids say to the housemaid to be respectful so thats probably why some batswana woman might have a problem and batswana are kind of xenophobic some times but its a bit better now it used to be worse back in 2004 and 2006 but now they are used to living with foreigners. I don't know if you have noticed how they don't like it when you speak in English too much 😂🙆♂️😂😂 then they ask you why you don't speak setswana 😂😂😂 but the younger generation is ok thou 😂
Nne, you're the best travel plug to Bostwana.
Thumbs up for you 👍
😀 Thank youuu 💜💜
😂😂😂 it was fun watching this because am MOTSWANA staying in Botswana
Hi same thank you for watching 💕
Nice one. I'm learning
Actually gifting your money is not a crime it's just that everyone will be surprised of you because we don't usually do it .
Thanks for a great video though 😊
Oh okay, but i meant spraying money in a party like rain 😀 oh even gifting money is suprising wow im learning thanks for this input Tefo.
I just love Boswana joor. It's such a nice country. Thanks for sharing sis 🙏❤️💕
Thanks chi
As a younger Motswana, we do sometimes call people who are older than us Auntie and Uncle we just do it in our own language (Setswana). We do it most of the time to show respect for that older person. And for calling a person my brother or my sister we do it with our peers, especially when you are very close to that person.
Okay now i know better💕
Its very rare...the auntie/uncle thing is tru...i understand this becus i have friends from west africa...believ me we dnt use aunty and uncle,...unless its blood relative or very close (which is rare);...i rily get it
See how beautiful you look here🥰
Thanks for sharing
Serious 😀 thanks baby 💕
thats lovely big sis.....well said......problem no dey finish.....try dey enjoy...... awesome.....👍👍
Thanks nna 💕
Wooow!!! Boswana people mind their business 🙂🙂that's one good thing I'm loving about them
Is the aunty and brother for me😂😂😂😂😂I really like that about Botswana oo! They behave like ndi ocha in that one
Yes oo 😀 thanks for watching chi 💕
I can't help falling inlove with you ooh. I love your channel. Being a Botswana girl living in uk i can't help falling In love with your channel. It makes me home sick 😔 😞 Helen please let hock up when I come home. You are so lovely 😍 love you to bits ❤️
Awww i know the feeling sis 🥰 be safe okay we will sure meet when you come back home i love too sis 🥰

@@opeloelijah4677 😀 No one has never called me that oo 😄
That's good. It's a loving way of saying foreigners. Please have you ever been to kasane? It's a tourist area. Very lovely 😍
Thanks Helen i love the video I enjoy more when people talk about my nation 🥰❤️🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼
💞💞💞
Thank you for the great content.
Thanks for watching maatla 💞
Helen we do call people mum, dad, uncle or auntie. in the northern part of the country u dnt go around half naked.
Okay mirriam thanks for the input💕
Yeah but no 1 harrasses you. But I must say the harassment used to be there.
Helen, this is so informative... I'm liking your videos. Well done!
🥰🥰🥰
I like Botswana a lot
Nice
With respect to giving money at organised occasion, true people would expect you to be mature and give whatever money to one of the organisers to give to the main host. Smoking in your private car is not a problem, however if you have passengers in your car NO WAYS! Drinking is only allowed at home or at legalized business outlets. Tankjie sister!
Okay we are learning thanks for this input sir 🙏💞
Smoking in a car is wrong at every level except if the car is strictly used by you and you never share it with any other person because the smoke sticks to the seat and will smell like dry urine even after a month
True💯
It didn't occur to me that we are appreciated I have learned a lot about who we are...keep it up
Ohh my favourite utuber 🥰🥰
Lots of Love posh 🥰🥰💕
Watching from #Taung Botswana 🇧🇼 Africa 😍
😂😂😂 you made me laugh… bare “carry your righteousness and go”…….. if you try and drag someone because you don’t like what they are wearing, people can turn around and drag you for that… we love our sisters and we protect them from any humiliation.. what we believe in is that if you feel someone if not properly dress move them to a corner and talk to them privately, if you don’t embarrass them they might appreciate it😅 even though some might find it offensive because it’s their body and clothes so you have no say…. You can’t walk in public holding an open beer bottle or drinking it 😂 if the police catch you is either you empty it on the ground or get arrested…. And then we have the greeting (depends on which side of the country you are, north or south) In the north you are expected to great everyone who’s older than you as a sign of respect, then in the south the person who does the greeting is the one who came and found a person already there regardless of age 😅 they believe respect should come from both sides… that’s why we have a proverb that says “ an elder has to show respect to someone younger so that they may reciprocate it” but we still respect our elders 😊
Hey Helen.. Doing a better job than the Tourism guys. Keep it up. Luv you and your channel. God bless you and fam🙏💕
Thank you so much mamello 💕
I think I'll have to watch all your videos in here, on this channel. ❤
Helen do you know you look exactly like batswana...
I hear that alot 😀
@@helengeorgeslifestyle infact many igbos resemble people from southern Africa. I noticed that a lot. Even some of the igbo names are so similar to southerners.
@@kasikwagoma6740 wow, we're 1 like crazy
Hi Helen just subscribed. I was born and raised in Botswana only moved to Pretoria in 20 years ago. But the way I was raised in Mochudi anyone older is sister, brother or anty but in Setswana though. Over the years things change😂I enjoyed your video❤️❤️
Things has fallen Apart 😂 thank you so much for watching Anastacia 💕
@@helengeorgeslifestyle actually its still the same, only in Setswana 😂. Although its mostly a Southern Tswana culture. We say 'ausi' it means older sis. Or abuti for males....
Feel free to reach out to me if you really want to have fun out here, the ultimate Township Experience with loads of unfiltered Fun, where the fun is really at.
Serious where is it please how do i reach you

@@rig.1 The Ultimate Township Feel would be incomplete without the tour of the Iconic Tsakane and all the other townships in Gabs.
Hahaha!!! Loved loved loved it! 1st time on your channel. I actually learned more about Nigeria now 😂... about being humble YES! Otherwise it looks strange if your money is not in your pocket or bag, we don't know why u spreading it 😂. Loved it thank u so much! 😍😍😍🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼
😂😂 thanks for stopping by GOITSE 💕💕
Do a video on commonalities between Botswana and Nigeria please.

You remember right 🤦♀️ Ndi ara let them come here and try that nonsense and get jailed obara uru mtw!
My country 🇧🇼we do have respect
Is only in Nigeria that people show off
Im telling you 😄
Where are you located in Botswana? By the way i am from Botswana
Batswana are very conservative. We don't show off here. Very humble people. You are right about that.
🤣🤣🤣...by me speaking to you English is a big favour..
All your hints are important

Killer akere😂😂😂
Im a Motswana but also get amazed how Tswanas are so not keen to speak in English 😅

@@helengeorgeslifestyle thanks alot, I'd be looking forward to your response
I like the way hellen speaks😂😂.....am going to date a nigerian girl soon😂😂.... I like their accent.
😂😂 Good luck Bro and thank you so much 💕
What you are saying about the Aunty and brother thing is true. I said it on Facebook last time people tried to make it look like I wasn't telling the truth. It's there but not like in other African countries
Trueee they will not agree untill they go to other places then they will see that we carry Auntyship for head 😀
Video idea : try Nigerian food here in Botswana and tell us if it’s as good as in Nigeria
Okay that is a good idea thank you Laa 💕💕
My Botswana🇧🇼
Hello my sister please how can I get the visa and is it's that easy to get a job
Thank you my sister when I come to visit can I meet you you are so funny
Wow you know Botswana very well well we are very loving peaceful Humble we don't just get angry we don't show what we have..🇧🇼🇧🇼 here you start flashing money and you have no job then we know something is up... our dogs will not leave you alone... I'm a very proud motswana I love my country Ooo...
Yesss 💞
It will be considered rude to throw money around at an event, you would be shunned
Wow! Okay im learning
True throwing money in Botswana is considered disrespect,Even just throwing money to someone you have to hand it to them not throw.
Hi Helen, you're amazing indeed. You're programs are great.
I sent you a message to your email.
What are the jobs Nigerians do there? Are foreigners also in titled to the free education? Thanks and blessings 💕

Your definition of aunty and uncle is wrong. Nigerians has been wrongly using that, even me is irrigating me

Yes,especially taxi men. They will jus undress u nd whip
Wow, just like Nigerian northern part those days. I don’t know if they still beat .
