EVERY COUNTRY IN AFRICA: What You Need to Know

An informative guide to Africa and African countries. This video will show you in detail about EVERY COUNTRY IN AFRICA.

This is the first of a 6 part series where 10 countries are covered in each video until all the countries of Africa are covered.

We chatted with her for a few minutes and enjoyed talking to her. It's true, we in the United States get very minimal in the way of learning about geography in school unless we take the time to teach ourselves either by watching documentaries on PBS , watching travel shows like Rick Steves' Europe , etc .

@Gurey ​ Come to Jamaica; reside with Rasta

[@lmn6023]

@Gurey That's because in the states you have the one drop rule, which doesn't exist in all places around the world. They are Spanish, in the same way that African Americans are African. I find it odd how Americans view someone as black who has mostly white ancestors as long as there has been a black person somewhere in their ancestry.

[@lmn6023]

@Gurey Because over the years they mixed with the Spanish. If a Spanish person and a say, Nigerian person, get a child, the child is as much Spanish as it is Nigerian. No matter how dark or light its skin is. If they grow up in Spain, they are probably culturally more Spanish and if they grow up in Nigeria, they would be culturally more Nigerian. So, if these people are mixed and grew up in an country that is culturally closer to Spain than to wherever their other ancestors came from, it would only make sense that they view themselves as Spanish.

Not targeting you in particular, but I’ve noticed, a lot of Nigerians know little about other countries in Africa... except perhaps Ghana... I find it disturbing. I had a roommate from Ghana and one from Nigeria and oddly enough, for me, they knew very little abt the rest of Africa except their respective countries. Not targeting you in particular, once again. Un constat.

[@uche_e]

@@naomicampana it's amusing how you used the phrase "not targeting you in particular" about twice. I guess you're avoiding trouble, lol. I come in peace 🤗 I am from the Eastern part of Nigeria, that is, the Igbo tribe and the truth is, I have little or no knowledge about the Northerners (Hausas). I do know a lot about the Westerners (Yorubas) because I have lived all my life in the West but I can't say same for the Southerners. And we are all in the same Nigeria 😅 I don't think any Nigerian sets out *not* to know anything about Africa and Africans. For me, it happened that I just wasn't just taught (I think the same applies for majority). Besides the recitation of African countries and capitals we did in primary school, the only other formal education I had about Africa came from my primary school French teacher who was Togolese. We might appear to know a lot about Ghana but that's majorly because they're a neighbouring country which has English as an official language. Thus, there are no language barriers. Also, we sort of have a going relationship with Ghana that we don't have with other African countries. For example; my secondary school, another Nigerian secondary school and Achimota School, Ghana has (or had) an annual tripartite games. We (our schools) took turns hosting the other country each year. I remember traveling to Ghana to partake in the Tripartite games and Achimota students coming down to my school the next year. This experience was not only fun, it was an opportunity to experience a new culture, learn and make new friends. I hope you understand this situation now. Kindly pardon the length of this my "little speech".

Truly, didn't mean to offend you. I grew up in the West as well. It's really just me realizing that Nigerians do not know much about the rest of Africa besides Nigeria. I always find it 4nud

Great presentation and an excellent way to express the diversity of this massive continent. 👏👏It is a shame that educational systems around the globe don't teach more about Africa, since it makes up a large portion of our world (Culturally, Historically, Geographically and more).
