As an African, thank you for putting effort in the pronunciation of places and tribes in these videos
Starving kids in Africa could have eaten that comment *smh*
Viktor6665 Okay dude, okay
Matko Zivcic u dumby
shut up mate why are you just abusing people he probaly lives in a actual house ive seen you on the street
I am from Benin, and he actually butchered most of the pronunciation ^^. But hey, it couldn't be helped, the pronunciation is quite difficult sometimes. Overall, it is a pretty good video, I really enjoyed watching it :)
I am Beninese, and I approve of this. I can't imagine the amount of work you put in. Congratulations
@MUFC Tottenham is better
@MUFC stop commenting these
Have you even Benin Benin tho
Love Benin 🇧🇯
Love you, Benin
🇧🇩💚🇧🇯
I love learning things about random countries. I found this video because I was trying to learn about Benin (I can't even remember why) but holy wow. This is pretty much my ideal channel. Thanks for being awesome!
I found it when I wanted to learn something about Georgia ... it is my favorit now
Kikyo4815 mittui chu dang hram hram rawh 😁
I know right!!
I was trying to learn about the Albania-Serbia conflict history (after watching the Granit Xhaka - Xherdan Shaqiri double-eagled pro-Kosovo Albanian celebrations at the Switzerland v Serbia match at the FIFA World Cup 2018), and ended up getting hooked to it.
Most poultry 🐓 and car 🚙 imports in Nigeria are from Benin.
Most electricity ⚡️ demands in Benin are met by Nigeria.
*BFFs* 🇳🇬❤️ 🇧🇯

DUDE YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO AMAAAAZZZINGGG MY TEACHER HAS PLAYED HALF OF YOUR VIDEOS IN CLASS AND I FEEL IN LOVE WITH GEOGRAPHY BECAUSE OF YOU! THANKS DUDE FLORIDA LOVES YOU!
donnaven urrea Haha what?! Really? Your teacher at school? Awesome!!

Miami Cubans are the worst. Most of them are really bitter and rude.
+donnaven urrea My teacher did too
man I wish my teacher played these in class but I discovered these on my own when I become a geography teacher when I'm older I will use these they will probably have all the videos out by then cuz I'm only 14
I am Haitian and took a dna test and found out I’m 41% Benin togo, never even heard of this country till now
haitians comes from there
@Stanley Dougé I was told most was coming from that zone, central africa is not so far from that zone so i wont be surprised by this. I didnt knew for madagascar thanks.
I'm from Canada. Parents are from Jamaica/guyana I have 47% Benin dna
I took a DNA test as well in 2018 which at first didn't reveal Benin/Togo at all but after a reconfiguration of more accurate data it turned out that I am 38% Benin/Togo
Ehrenmann!
This is the first country I literally knew nothing before the video... Keep it up Paul :) (oh and Bandiaterra lol)
LeoSienna Bandiaterra was an april fools joke
Karen I know dear, I saw the video
***** :(
+LeoSienna All I knew about it was the Dahomey slave trading, but I didn't even know it was in Benin specifically, just the general area.
Guinea Bissau was the first for me
Youve been uploading quite quickly, i like that
Bora Dingdong Especially considering he has to cover around 196 different countries

Bro kudos. I am from Benin born and raised. First generation in North america. For a non Benin dude you rocked the story of "ma patrie". You actually did it justice..... compared to what others think of Africa in general. Good job. Keep up the good work. From Benin to you "a tin kpon". Means basically"you tried". Well done!
Bhutan's friend zone is gonna be an interesting one, seeing that they typically like to stay isolated.
Devin Mitchell i will describe that in one word for you: India !
AFGR Damnit, wrong TH-camr!
Devin Mitchell they do have india for ..well ..... everything!
What about North Koreas friend zone?
Devin Mitchell Also Bangladesh... Just those two... And noone else...
Huge respect for your efforts you put in every video, I am a science student, but love for History and Geography never goes away from me, you made it so amazing!! Cheers
cant wait for Zimbabwe
97555555776 years
Yeah you might be waiting for a while... sorry dude
you NEED to wait for zimbabwe m8
Me too lol
last country lol
I have to thank you for all these geography videos! They're just awesome! Keep doing'em, please... Congratulations!!!
So far, the most popular Beninese dude is actor Djimon Honsou
Also, there's a great singer called, Angelique Kidjo.
*Hounsou
Kemi Seba and Eguntchi Behanzin
I wasn't sure with your style at the beginning but I'm starting to like it more. I definitely see the styles of vlogbrothers, CGP Grey, and wonder why. I'll have times in the video where you say something and I imagine the channel that would say that in their voice. All that being said you bring a lot to the table with genuine personality and just kept up the good work subscribers will come with time.
Ps. What are your plans for after all the recognized(or unrecognized) countries
I really really like WonderWhy but they need to start uploading more. All of their videos are super interesting.
Vat19Nvjds Both WonderWhy and CGP Grey has a lot more editing work they have to do in their videos before uploading them. Not to mention, their lives must be very busy.
AFGR Dude fuck off. Youve said that on every comment.
Devin Mitchell Yeah I could imagine but still WonderWhy hasnt uploaded anything in like 2 months. His 2nd most recent video is like 5 months old.
Vat19Nvjds yeah I know his videos are fantastic and I wish he could put up more, but I always try and remember that youtubers are people too and not robots, well except CGP Grey
Devin Mitchell I can't really speak for Wonder Why, but I know that CGP Grey has a system but he does extensive research on all topics which takes up the bulk of his time and editing comes second with the stylized animation. He talks about it a lot on Hello Internet
I'm in love with this channel! Keep it up guys!
Yeah....for me, Benin is the Amazing country in the africa 😘😘...i like benin from egypte.
The channel had grown so much since the Albania vid. Good job!
When you are talking about west african countries (Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin southern part of Nigeria and northern part of Cameroon) you should mention about that tribes are in language very close in these areas. And if you are going to talk about history in some cases you should look in to it as "when muslims concurred modern day "Mali" region some of the people from Ghana empire who refused to change their religion fled and mixed with the people of "forest"
Btw sry for English. Not first language.
S.E.M Asantehene Your English was perfect!
Apart from Djimon Hounsou the actor (blood diamond, fast and furius7) who is from Bénin there is also Agelique Kidjo the two time Gramy aword winner who is also from Bénin!
U know what??? This is great!! Good job with all of these. I did my ancestry and found out i am 43% Benin and i had never heard of the country so this video is a great introduction
I'm 34% myself
44% percent Benin/Togo here. It's still a bit vague to me I want to know so much more about it
Same it was in my Ancestry dna aswell
Discovered this channel yesterday, and I've been bindgewatching since. This is so good!
Your videos are wonderful! Keep it up :) I've been learning a lot.
I am in love with these videos! I am always looking forward to your next video every week! It's getting me prepared for my geography course at university fall semester! I really enjoy your content! Please keep it up!
Thank you so much for these! The pronunciation, as well as the content, is so helpful. I teach middle school history, and we use these to supplement our geography studies/tests. That way students are learning about the countries whose names they are memorizing.
yay Bhutan will be interesting!
Lebanon!
Adam Mokbel
what about Lebanon
it's gonna take time bro
Adam Mokbel Still waiting for Norge.
Elijah Emery OH NO ELIJAH HAS FOUND ME!

I immediately regret binge watching all of your videos. I need more! Have you thought about doing the origins of country names? It's always been something that I've wondered about!

Good job 😀

I am 29 years of age and from the UK. I have been lucky enough to have travelled from a young age, however in our geography lessons in school we never had any lessons about the location of countries or any information given to us about cultures/countries outside of Europe (apart from learning about other religions in Religious Education and a module on American politics (the Kennedy years...Cold War etc) I appreciate schools don’t have time to teach everything but it would have been nice to learn more about countries outside of Europe rather than just learning about cold and warm fronts and all that crap lol. However I realise not everyone is as interested in other countries and cultures as I am. I really think this video series is awesome and fascinating. Thank you for having the patience and passion to make so many country themed videos. I’m gonna be wowing people with my knowledge of countries after watching all these lol. Great job! :)
O my God. this chinese man knows our History more than some benineses... I am proudly ADJA. Benin and Togo are the same.. french colonisators separeted us.
Chinese?
Victor Gabriel well just by looking at him, he does look like he has some Oriental ancestry of some sort. Why are you surprised?
fdfxd2 For some, Chinese is used interchangeably with people with Oriental heritage. It's not a big deal.
He doesn’t sound oriental at all. He’s an American.
I'm happy the french came they contributed to the language and taught french!
my best youtube channel ever... this guy's killing it
Damn that Savannah sure has sass. You might call it... Sassannah!!! No...? Okay
10/10
Talking countries, and now talking biomes. WHY NOT. XD
Sassannah Republic
The best
These videos are great, good job mate
Miranda Sings music up in here
A mirfanda !
Voker Ha it's actually generic music from youtube that they let creators use for free.
Ikr
When I first heard it I was like "I AM WATCHING A MIRFANDA'S EDUCATIONAL VIDEO" but a single comment killed it for me. Thanks m8.
OMG YASSSSS
Bhutan! Can't wait!
I think I watched the intro so, So many times!!!! Makes me laugh every time XD
You make geography fun and funny. I love this channel
Nous parlons Français (LA PLUPART DU TEMPS), not "plupart de temps" ^^
and : Nous avonS une relation étrange
Your channel's growing so fast! Keep it up, I remember when u had 3,000 subs and you were working 2 jobs (:
Fun fact : Benin was once called the Dahomey - it first acquired the name “Benin” in 1975.
Why did they change the name to Benin?
@@kiampakuingi9812it was renamed Benin after the Bight of Benin, the body of water on its coast.
@@kiampakuingi9812 It was changed for neutral reasons, since the name "Dahomey" is heavily tied with the Fon people, and as mentioned over 40 ethnic groups live in Benin, so the name kind of implies favoritism to the Fon.
@@Starterpack8811 actually it was named after the kingdom of Benin in nigeria
@@kiampakuingi9812 it was named after the kingdom of benin in africa
Great vid Paul!!!
Benin's physical geography is kinda like a Minecraft world with many biomes haha
+Joshua Takahashi stfu
+John Smith have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
Joshua Takahashi
wat
+John Smith or asked the grinning bob cat why he grins?
+Joshua Takahashi You are original man! hahaha
Thanks for this video my Dad is part from Benin and this means a lot
A small comment at about 3:27... 'M' (upper case 'm') is NOT the symbol for meters.. 'm' (lower case 'm') is. 'M' is for 'mega' (as in Mm is 1000000 meters).
Thanks!
Hey Paul, love your channel, if I can just propose just a little addition I think could really help. When presenting the country, it would be great to get a sense of how big it is, so maybe if you compared the size of whatever country you're presenting with the size of Canada or the USA (or another country most of us are familiar with) then it could give us a better idea of it's size?
Let me know what you think,
Thanks!
My father comes from Benin😹
I love your videos and I'm really happy to see your video quality and subscriber count growing each month!
That said, it's killing me knowing that we are potentially years away from so many interesting countries just because they start with end-letters of the alphabet. Any chance you will deviate from the alphabetical ordering at all? Maybe you could continue with A-Z videos regularly, but throw in a random country once a month or so.
Tom theWonderDog All of the countries he has done so far have very interesting aspects, why don't you just be patient and learn something new.
9:28 Thats not Soviet Union, thats Russia. Where are the baltic states, Ukraine, Belarus and the -stan countries?
#nitpick
Nitpick? Um... no. Mistake that huge (literally :3) is REALLY not nitpicking. If Kaliningrad was forgotten, then it would be nitpicking.
Forgot the Caucasus countries
Sorry, them too. :)
TheFancyRoman Because if you are angry go make your own version!
I appreciate how you say nouns the best way you can!
When's the Bhutan video coming out?
Can't wait....
YYYEEEAAAHHH!!!A NEW GEOGRAPHY NOW VID!!!!
I don't know WHY, but, for me, Benin is the most amazing country in the Afrika
Gabriel Fagundes i'm glad you appreciate our country 💪
I am curious to know why?
Yea so true !
This stuff is great man. But it would be awesome if national geographic wanted you to do a 30 minute show of each country. That way you could get more in-depth, because I want to know more about each country.
The real Benin is inside Nigeria Benin city, Oba hatoKpere ise!!!
YES!!!!!!!! One country closer to Sweden.
Liking these videos and great with so many coming out right now.
Mathieu Kérékou died 6 days ago...
Yes he did(also i dunno why I'm saying but this comment is 4 years ago lol)
I love your channel!!!
I'm just here for the Korea videos that are coming out in like 18 million years.
*70 years later*
Yup...
Still waiting...
Love from the United States of America to Benin! 🇺🇸❤️🇧🇯
