as someone from Moçambique, south east africa, i love this ! in Africa we have such amazing people, such craftsmanship, so many artists, yet foreigners still think it’s a desert and a rainforest where there’s just lions running around - that’s why videos like this are important for Africans. we are the richest continent in natural resources ! what a great place ! God bless Africa

[@MeganKugs]

I love this video and I love this comment! Far too many people forget, or never even know, that Africa is the birthplace of humanity. The cultures are so varied and vibrant, the people seem incredible and the resources are incredibly abundant. (Unfortunately, because of that wonderful abundance other countries love to come in and scoop up as much as they can. Profiting big time from the resources of the land and the labor of the people without proper compensation to those people. Not just with natural resources either there are so many ways in which the world exploits the endeavors of those from Africa and many other places in the world. That’s a reality that needs to be changed). My fiancé and I decided a long time ago that we must visit Africa once we have the financial stability to do so. His family originates from Nigeria (his father was born there but moved to the US as a child) and it’s very important to us both to see and experience the land from in which his lineage was created. We’ve discussed moving there someday as well. What a joy it will be when we finally step foot on African soil!

[@MY-zx6lz]

RIGHT CANNABIS GIRL - YOU DO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE WATCHING, RIGHT??? FOREIGNERS ARE NOT HAVING SLEEPLESS NIGHTS WONDERING THAT NO LION RAOM IN EAST AFRICA! HOW IS THIS VIDEO IMPORTANT TO AFRICANS?? IT'S ABOUT MURDER AND THE WEASEL WHO DID IT!

[@africalexa]

@@MeganKugs It’s so true ! Africa and Africans have been exploited for centuries. It’s a bit of a pity, but i can’t imagine myself living anywhere else. Nigeria is amazing ! you should definitely go. the nice thing about africa too, is that it’s pretty cheap - especially if you’re coming from the US. you’ll be able to do all sorts of fun things and really get into the culture ! i wish you all the best.

[@LordOfSweden]

We literally saw some sub-saharan african grinding some beans like in the dark ages and calling it artisan

[@africalexa]

@@LordOfSweden i don’t think you realise that when products are hand made there’s a huge attention to detail, if everything was machine made there’d be loads of defects and the quality would be nowhere as good.

[@kathyohara6658]

While they might be expensive to the consumer, the artisans benefit the least. Africa has some of the most talented artisans in the world. I recently opened a small shop in my home country, selling only products made in my country, by her own citizens. They deserve the exposure and the benefit for their hard work.

[@Roshaad]

I married a Kenyan and we just recently returned from Jamaica to see all this Kenya/Jamaica YT interaction. Its great being able to take your spouse and kids to your homeland to experience it again with them, and through their eyes. I'll say visiting Kenya as a Jamaican is like being a celeb, an artist at the museum in Nairobi took time out to just talk Jamaican culture history and music with us, when he should have been showcasing his art. Famous musicians stopped to take videos with us at the airport, and Jamaican flags are everywhere around Nairobi. The feeling is mutual for sure, and I agree that I long for the day when the various tribes and other Africans embrace each other like we embrace them.

You go to some of the more ancient villages in Africa and you’ll see humans that make you feel like a lazy slob. I’m talking they’ve mastered the area around them to the point lion packs run from them out of fear. They build and maintain their areas with no modern hand tools or electricity. They absolutely live off the land and have their own society and generational knowledge.. it’s so neat. And that’s where modern man first started so these are the OG humans. I wanted to go there as a kid but now I am old enough to realize the best way to support them is to leave them alone and leave their resources and culture alone. Any non technological society that isn’t dependent on the capitalist market should be left alone entirely and support them by ensuring they can be left alone.

As someone who lived in rainy season climates and had to learn to deal with repairs. I want to suggest that they building scaffolding to get up the tree during the rainy season. Once built of bamboo, pipe it can safely be moved. I found the oil part very interesting as I use very little oil in my cooking. I use Alum stone for deoderant, interesting it is used in rugs.

[@apemancommeth8087]

Africa should be planting those trees everywhere it’s possible! Short term it won’t provide much, but long term there’s tons of benefits! Clean air, shade and far more productive renewable resources that it can trade with! Seems so easy saying that but there’s probably a catch!
