[@TheHardcoreboy747]

If you go anywhere in southern Africa 🌍 like for example Zambia 🇿🇲 & south africa 🇿🇦 shares a lot in common here in Zambia we call it traffic lights Robots also in south africa is called Robots 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@Monami_ke]

thank you for enlightening me

[@LaChicaconSuerte-1111]

Zambians are friendly and have manners. I like your video, but I think it would help if you could get to the point of each thing that you want to say more concisely and with less repetition.

[@SURESHKUMAR-qe3pp]

[@Monami_ke]

[@rudolphharrigan1804]

Gm beautiful I thank you for sharing this wonderful story

[@mulengachalata6805]

I like your observation about my country Zambia, when it comes to traffic....some of us who have been to East Africa don't even complain about it because its nothing here in Zambia. I am enjoying your video, God bless you.....ONE AFRICA, ONE NATION & ONE PEOPLE!!!!!

[@Monami_ke]

Thank you so much

[@alumbwesainent7700]

-The squeezing in buses in only in Lusaka. -Tuk tuk are seen as unsafe. -Almost all Southern African countries call traffic lights robots 😅 All in all Zambians are ambitious people with a respect for culture. Glad you visited Zambia 🫶🏾

I like your honest & the cultural shocks are actually not bad. I too had a cultural shock in 1997 to hear about 1K being called pini. I discovered then that it was a nickname for 1K because the people who used to buy good in lower denominations of the currency were now being subjected to buying them in thousands. The pain they felt economically was like the way your foot steps on a pin (pini) Thus was was was used as derogatory term 1K has no become an acceptable term to describe it. Therefore, next time you buy goods worth 10 shillings, you can call them 10 pini.

[@Monami_ke]

Wow! You have schooled me today…. I had no idea there was this magnificent story behind the name pin. I just thought it was a slang. Thank you for this elaborate explanation 🙂

[@charlesndeleki6546]

Your explanation is wrong. It has nothing to do with pain. Money was stacked and pinned in values of one thousand. If someone says he has 2pin, it meant 2stacks of one thousand. 5pin means 5 thousand kwacha.

[@vincentchowa]

No. The pin came a pin that was placed on twenty K 50 notes that made K 1000. The one Kwacha you see is actually K 1000. We just rebased by removing the zeros. So we used to call K 1000 one pin and it was transferred to K 1 after rebasing.

[@chelsysacalema3688]

No we have much more like palm ride, Zamcab, bolt etc it’s just Ulendo and Yango are the most popular

[@Monami_ke]

Oh okay…Now I know that there are other alternatives to use when i come back to visit. Thank you for that.

Nabataean Lusaka flats

[@PaulineKitoto]

😂😂😂 nimecheka hiyo accent 🤣🤣 I loved it!

[@Monami_ke]

Wewe wacha tu.. niliteseka kiliniramba when it came to accent

[@emmanuelmulenga3373]

We call them ma robots, cause they are stationed there,they don't move.

[@charlesmuyaya8534]

hehehe at about 10 20 hours you asked why we refer to traffic lights as robots. It comes from automation. The original image of a robot was a machine that could talk and perform actions with lot's of flashing lights about it.

[@kenmuye2581]

Your remarks in the video were derogatory! What you have explained in your written response above is different & quite correct. In fact, stand-alone houses are better than flats because one can even have a backyard garden. Building high-rise flats like in China, USA, or Europe is due to lack of land & not modernity. As Zambia, we have huge idle land for everyone. Therefore, when we decide to build stand-alone houses, it doesn't mean we are backwards. NO! Zambia is almost twice bigger than Kenya. I submit.

[@Monami_ke]

Watch the full video and listen with your feelings aside and then comment. whatever you just wrote here i infact say it 💯 just differently. No one said anything about backwardness in my video. Stop insinuating things that are not there. This video is not about competition between countries or rather it’s all positive vibes here. It’s not that serious!!!! Thanks

[@uceewonderstv]

U re cute, admiring from Nigeria

[@Monami_ke]

Thank you for the compliment ☺️😊 and for watching..

[@JohnDRiaro]

Is Zambia a good investor destination?

[@Monami_ke]

Oh yes! There so much room for investors there.

[@kingslj]

We too do find you Kenyans to be hospitable & friendly

[@livinginzedyapazedtv7658]

East African countries the have got that accent same as west African countries

[@ogone1465]

Everyone on Earth has an accent 😂

[@kenmuye2581]

You're a big lier on timing 20.55 to 21.08 about flats. Zambia has a lot of tall buildings for housing like Kabwata Flats, Kings land city, Lwipa puma plaza in Ndola, Premium Plaza in Ndola, ect. You didn't just explore Lusaka enough.

[@Monami_ke]

@@kenmuye2581 1.the fact that i said what i saw doesn’t warrant you calling me a liar . You can put your point across without calling names. 2. I didn’t say that there are no flats at all. but in comparison to my country there are not as many flats (that has 5th level floor)for housing in lusaka (which i clearly said am not sure) despite me not exploring all the places you mentioned. most houses are on the ground floor and that’s a fact!! this is simply coz zambia is a huge country with a small population therefore there’s no struggle for land and housing unlike my country . and that was simply my point and that’s a huge plus for the country.

[@Matakakamulete]

You can get a flat on 5th floor

[@technotambo2]

Your Dancing is so Good! Thanks! for appreciating Zambia! Zambians have copied alot from Afrikaans, in South Africa so you find words like Robots meaning Traffic Lights, Coloureds meaning Mixed Race, Foosake meaning Go! or get away from me, Basop meaning Watch out, Poloni meaning Salam, these are all South African Afrikaaner Words

[@Monami_ke]

You are most welcome and thank you too! Now i know!😃

[@alumbwesainent7700]

Copied?

[@technotambo2]

@@alumbwesainent7700 South African Jargons are unconsciously picked up by Zambians cause South Africa has so much influence on Zambia in everything
