I agree. See lots of negative comments against tourist youtubers or expatriates who try to tell their experiences in africa. Quite often we Africans don't want any criticism at all. No country is perfect indeed but life is about where am more comfortable to live. It's a personal choice after weighing on things. WHAT I WOULD ADVICE EXPATS IS TO FIRST NOT ONLY RESEARCH ABOUT AFRICAN COUNTRIES BUT ALSO VISIT DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND MAKE UP THEIR MIND. HAVE HEARD MANY EXPATS WHO WENT TO GHANA FIRST TIME AND SETTLED BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ANYWHERE IN AFRICA. LATER WHILE IN GHANA, THEY START VISITING OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES AND END UP RELOCATING AGAIN. SO MY ADVICE IS SEARCH AROUND SO U CHOOSE BETTER. ONE THING I MUST POINT OUT IS THAT ONLY TWO REGIONS IN AFRICA HAVE A HIGHER QUALITY OF LIFE:NORTH AFRICA ARAB STATES excluding Sudan AND SOUTHERN AFRICA:South Africa, mauritius, Seychelles, Namibia and Botswana. Am african currently studying outside but I have travelled africa. Its sometimes just little but important things that pulls u off. Constructive criticism builds.

I can tell you that what Anton's is saying is true..Rwanda used to be a French speaking country then one day the president woke up and ordered everyone to switch to English because the president was brought up in An English speaking country..! and had some issues with France...!They all got confused ..! You can not change the education system just like that ..even now as I speak there are teachers in Rwanda who can not express themselves in English and yet they are supposed to teach in English ...!!

Decades of Africans migrating to other continents to make a better life for themselves outside of Africa but African Americans get bashed for leaving countries they were NOT raised in but decided to initially repatriate to. It never ceases to amaze how shockingly easy it is for us melaninated people to tear down each other than to build each other. King you are welcome to go wherever your heart desires but just want to say thanks for taking another chance on the continent.

Things are not perfect everywhere, thanks for your honesty, something a lot of people can not do. We know pros of Rwanda and it's great to know cons too, there is a lot to change there too. Especially attitude towards expats, the staring, hateful and bad comments and not being open minded. Despite Rwanda development it has a lot to change as well. people shouldn't just focus critics but consider them to change and grow. What you experienced is so common and it's something people should work on. Keep being honest and giving us raw information.

I am watching you for the first time. So far I agree with you. What I don’t agree with is since I’ve been looking at Rwanda, I’ve been seeing African Americans (not you so far) there and in other African countries telling the native Africans that we as Black Americans believe that Africans are dumb, that the children are starving, that the people are wild. It brings tears to my eyes. If we are to try and locate or even visit there, we are being set up for exactly what you have experienced there, a type of racism IMO. Also, the people that I have heard so far that are interviewed by Rwandans are speaking like they came there to save the country, or take it over. The country is already in a safe and beautiful place. They also speak about the “expat communities”. If we are to move there, we should be connecting as a people. What it looks to me is that they are separating just as the colonizers did. I just wish they would think before they speak. I seriously hope you understand my comment. I’m just saying that we need to be more humble and grateful in visiting and locating to Africa.

Dude, I saw your video with the reasons why you left Rwanda, so I’m not here to bash you. However, I will say that it’s not just in Rwanda that people stare …it’s any country, where they are not accustomed to having tourist! Most of these countries have just started to open up and they’re not accustomed to people who look different from them so they’re not necessarily staring because something is bad they just do because they’re not used to seeing foreigners in their country! I lived all over Latin America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, my wife’s from the Philippines, the Filipinos over there still stare at me when I come there! Same thing in Latin America they stare at you because you look different, and the majority of the people who live there look like them so they’re not accustomed to being around people who don’t look like them! It’s not all bad sometimes they wanna say something but they don’t understand the language, and they are not trained in the way of Western etiquette so they don’t know it’s rude to stare because that is a western thing not so much in their country…So, if you are bothered by them, staring at you, that’s your own insecurity because you need to study these countries before you go it sounds like it more you than about them! If you are going to continue to travel different countries and you don’t want to be stared at you might want to look at countries where they are accustomed to having western foreigners who visit their country!🙏🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I went back to see that "Leaving Rwanda" video to see what the fuss is about but I see you have blocked the comments. Most of the video seemed to be about the language barrier that prevented you and your business partner from getting yellow fever vaccinations and/or attending a university. You also mentioned the lack of certain creature comforts that you had become accustomed to. If I may comment, I would be reluctant to move to a country where I was clueless about the local language. I would make it my priority to learn at least some prior to arriving and then I would make it a point to take classes once I arrived. I speak English and German fluently and Spanish, Romanian, and Japanese on an upper intermediate level. I'm not trying to brag, just trying to show that someone with average intelligence can become proficient in foreign languages if they put their mind to it. I only learned Romanian because a Romanian once challenged me, asking me why Romanians had to speak German or English with me. I knew I would be seeing her again in a few months and decided to surprise her. I think she appreciated the effort!

The primary issue wasn't that they didn't speak English. The issue is we were lead to believe that they were an English speaking country, but that wasn't our experience when we got there. Multiple sources told us that Rwanda was English speaking, so the issue is the fact that the misleading left us unprepared. I learned Spanish and have studied French and Arabic, but there aren't many resources on Kinyarwanda for English speakers, unfortunately, as it is only spoken in a single, small African country. If I would have stayed in Rwanda, it's only natural that we would have learned Kinyarwanda. As I say frequently in all of my videos, one should learn a local language. I personally love learning new languages, but I wasn't alone, my life was tied to a business partner who was also interested in relocating.

I'm black British of Caribbean origin and I have to say that your video mirrored my experience of Rwanda when I visited in the summer. On the whole Rwandans are warm and helpful people and the place is simply beautiful with good infrastructure. However I did notice the following things which could be better: 1. Some instances of poor customer service, rudeness and sometimes unfriendlyness. (I'm not gonna mention everything that happened). 2. Assuming that black travellers are Nigerian and having a negative disposition towards people that look different to the locals. 3. English isn't as prevalent as I was led to believe prior to visiting. Which I don't have a problem with, but there were occasions where people would pretend they understood English just so they could have your custom or just coz they didn't want to say they couldn't. This had lead to disagreements or just general confusion 4. The food in restaurants was generally not very good and it could be difficult to find somewhere to eat (not in all places though) 5. Lack of available goods and services, for example, very little to buy in supermarkets, shelves empty etc and imported snacks/foods sometimes tasted off or were past their sell by date I give all of this feedback coz what Rwanda do well, they do really well and there are more positives than negatives. I would definitely go back but those were some of what stood out in my mind

In every countries that people visit, they have different experiences, and you have a right to chose whichever country you feel comfortable, but I listened to your video on why you left Rwanda, and the issues you mentioned, to be honest, I don't see them as anything major, but that's your experience and you have the right to feel that way about it, my take on the video is, first about the language, every African country speak more than one languages and if you did the research, you should have known that their first language is not english and they are promoting the language because they want to add english as one of the language spoken in the country, many countries have been doing so, including China, then you said people starring at you was also a issue, but did they look threatening when they did so? and you also mentioned your experience going to get a vaccine and what happened, why would you want to go to a place where according to you has only one building and a shack, especially since you are not a local, why didn't you go to a place in the city? and the part of the video where you mentioned a friend relating his/her experience at the college, you weren't there, so you cannot present what that friend said as factual, that to me, that shows bias, what I took away from this video is, people should be open- minded. especially when they are visiting different countries with different cultures, because if you expectations are not met, I am sure you will be putting out other videos on why you left other countries in Africa including Namibia.

You opened your statement with suggesting my choices & experiences are valid, then proceeded to suggest otherwise by attempting to delegitimize all of my experiences. Is this your attempt at gaslighting, or what? What you fail to realize is, no amount of research can totally prepare you for an experience. You compared Rwanda to China, but nowhere does China advertise itself as an English speaking country, so very poor comparison, buddy. Other African countries, like Namibia, speak many languages, and English is spoken totally fluently here. Rwanda just doesn't measure up for me - that's my opinion and I'm entitled to it. Also, your criticism of every action I mentioned, as if you were there with me living these experiences, is ignorant, for it's always easy to criticize someone else's actions when you weren't there. Share a story of one of your bad experiences in life, and I can pull it apart and tell you everything you did wrong, even if you tell me otherwise. Lastly, Namibia is beautiful and I love it! Meets all my expectations because nobody mislead me about Namibia, unlike Rwanda. Africa is an entire continent! Don't assume I'd have the same experience in Namibia that I'd have in Rwanda. You sound offended that I left Rwanda for some reason. Don't take it personal when someone shares their experiences, dude; it ain't even about you! Lol P.S. I had many other stories of language issues in Rwanda, but I don't have the time or desire to recant all to you. Even if I did, you'd shoot them down and make some tired excuse.

@@AntonsClass I am not from Rwanda, never been to Africa, but I know that english is not their first language, so I don't understand what you said that no amount of research could prepare you for that and I stand by what I say about China, and also in Namibia there are tribes that I am sure are not fluent in english, if you are happy in Namibia stay there, but I hope you won't be making a video about your discontent there either, because it seems to be a thing with some black americans that moved to Africa, in the beginning everything is wonderful, then later there are all these problems, and I am a woman.

@@AntonsClass agree with you. It has Good governance and one of the few most organised countries in africa. From inception, the Rwanda Investment and development board was headed by a Singaporean as technical adviser. I think he just left few years AGO or still there up now. However, I think the person is referring to HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX and GDP PER CAPITA. GDP PER CAPITA OF RWANDA IS AROUND 800 USD PER PERSON. OF COURSE ITS NOT IN TOP 10 on these two pillars but it IS AHEAD IN AREA OF good governance and ease of doing business.

p e leeeeese. Go and watch your video, it is not what you are now pretending it to be. Are all the people who expressed their "..PERSOAL..OPENION". as you say wrong. Be brave and try to fix what you said starting by admitting that you came with an expectation that was not based on getting the right information, and you did some obvious mistakes that led to you ending up in weird places. Rwanda like any other country is not perfect but it is not what you were saying.

What I can confirm here is the starring part. It is very common in that part of Africa to star at people to the point you feel that they are trying to take your panties down without touching you. English language…. please be aware that this country was a Belgian colony, and that English was not introduced there until after the 1994 genocide. So do enough research before expecting Rwandans to be fluent in English! Good luck in Namibia and hope you don’t reverse your praises in the coming weeks about it again.

I was well aware of Rwanda's past colonization. However, as stated in the videos, I was informed by multiple sources on the ground in Rwanda that I would have no issues using English in Rwanda; that was not the case for me. And Namibia is absolutely beautiful! No complaints and it is a very livable country.
