Proud seeing them all with afro hairstyle while African women busy buying expensive waves to look like others ... Proud people big respect Fiji 100% afro
Cause they are s s segregated from the poison of the enemies of Black people day in and day out telling them they should look like them with their laws, media and other poisons.
This is a biased statement. If black womens were not wearing weaves, you black men will still have something negative to say. Why don’t you be more domineering amongst your western men and develop your land rather than being a community of nesters.
Wow, my brother. Thank you for bringing the world to us. I an African American watching from Arizona. I do Missions in Brazil, Belize, and in Mexico. May the Lord bless you always.
I love Fijian People they are always cooperative and helpful and always smiling despite whatever circumstances they are in...one of the real happiest place in the world. Thank for sharing
My favorite RUclipsr still creatively and professionally educating us. Very friendly and intelligent people, beautiful afros, and LOVE the dress code!. Makes me want to visit! Thank you, again! Respect, best, and good health to you!
I love fijian people theyre very dignified yet loving! Pacific people are the salt of the earth! And i must say Fijian peole are beautiful love from Hawai'i.
It is so informative to learn that the Fijians themselves Recognize their African historical origins , The western colonizer media has been propagating a different storyline removing them from their African roots , everything is slowly coming to light now , thanks for your travels bro .
@@whodoesntlikesurfing The so called Australoid race was purposely made to divide Black people from Africa and Black people in Oceania, they new Black people are Dominant on the planet Earth , so they should be divided into different identifications to purposely create division among Black people period , We are one Globally and We are Strong than them .
I am going to see my Brothers and Sisters in the South Pacific.... Fiji Baby.... Yes we cover the globe... and the world continues to hide us.... no more hiding...❤️
Everything started from Fiji! Fiji is where the first sunrise comes from.. And the first creation of Humans beings happened before the great flood.. People will never believe it because the truth is hidden from everyone.
Got engaged in 2003 in Nadi. They trace their ancestry to Tanganika/Zanzibar/Tanzania. They love Gospel & Lucky Dubey is their favorite artist inspired by his 1984 tour. Simply beautiful people.
@Tui Kupp You missed the point completely . What was said in the video by Fijians & what was told to us in 2003 are consistent & accurate . I suppose you don’t want to hear it but if some Fijians claim their Descendants ( trace their Roots ) came from Africa , why is that an issue for ? I don’t recall hearing anyone claiming that Fijians of African Ancestry were the first Settlers. Further more nobody is claiming to be an Archaeologist ,I suggest you cool down your rough language man. Love & Peace
@Tui Kupp What is the misinformation ? Do you deny what you hear in the video ? Do you also deny what we heard ? Isn’t it true that some Fijians of African ancestry believe that hey are originally from Africa ! I am not sure how your condescending tone is educative at all but rather simply rude ! During our 3 week visit ,whenever I was asked where I am from ,my answer is always born in Senegal raised in Gambia & it will break the ice then the narrative will change to the link to Africa. That happened constantly, if you truly want to fight #Misinformation start in Fiji ,with our brothers and sisters there ,I am sure it won’t go well because they feel a sense of belonging & something big….. Africa. That is what you have a problem with but that is your issue !
@Tui Kupp You are not educating me , i have traveled the world and talked to people about Life & things. I was merely echoing the general sentiment about the African connection expressed to my wife and I in Fiji by Fijians. For you to call that misinformation is a bit too far & rich. The way you began the conversation/text/reply indicated to me that you want to fight ! I don’t have appetite for any exchange that begins with “Bull” & i can now see that in your mind you think you are a Teacher. You are probably one & good at it but ,that is not the question here or the premise of this video presentation . It is an African Brother Learning about the Beautiful Fijian Culture ….Talk to him ! Go to Fiji & work on your fight against #Misinformation. I am confident it will go well for you ! I everywhere we traveled people with make a connection to Africa in one way or another, I am sure you will have a problem with too right ? Why are you offended or mad about what they believe & claimed to be passed down ? Have a great week & all the best to you !
@Tui Kupp and Melanesians and Austronesians just popped up from nowhere ? You realize that latest studies have confirmed that Australian aborigines came straight out of Africa to Australia in the First Wave out of Africa migration. I'm sure Melanesians are as well, unlike the Polynesians who came from South East Asia.
@Tui Kupp Tell that to the Fijians who are expressing their Oral History as told to them . It is not Scientific but I suppose Polynesian Oral History & Myths falls in the same category ? By the way you have not answered my questions. Again , you sounding very condescending “Educate yourself “ in the knowledge of Science sounds like you invented science & I am pretty sure that is not the case.

It is unfortunate that the Br4itish brought East Indians to Fiji and now they (the Easty Indians) want to kick the indigenous Black people from Fiji out from their own lands! I think something should be done internationally to where people who are not indigenous to a land should NEVER have more rights than the indigenous people.
What Easty Indians you're talking about?. Indian people from India were brought over here as indentured laboures!. All the Indians caste are here in Fiji. South Indians, Punjabis, Gugratis etc etc.
@@sharonsiwan3849 Yeah ,true. Don't know where they got that story from(Indians wanna kick out the indigenous) made me burst out laughing. Hello there we (Fijian and Indo-Fijians are all ok).
I love your female guide! What an amazing woman. She has such a strong spirit. She explained the village dress code custom really well. !She will do well in life.
@@sonnytulavu9656 . That is correct and it's not only one boat arrived in Fiji. So what did Ur grandfather said and who are they? Because people a mixing this people from west and others. I do believe that the people from Naitasiri comes from the west because there is a very special people from Naitasiri still living next.to the mountain call Nakauvadra until today. To tell you the truth, not many people in Fiji knows this people until today, if anyone wanna see them, they have to go through that mountain call Nakauvadra.
@@nikeeddie9430 the first people that arrived were the Navitilevu tribe, but I've been told that the Nakauvadra too had a few tribes that settled there. Also some pre- melanesian people that settle there that have links back to the solomon islands Malaita province.
@@sonnytulavu9656.well, I think Ur grandfather has a made-up story or his from lapita family. Lutunasobasoba destroyed all lapitas from the west in the old days. That's why we got this two powerful man in Fiji call Udreudre and Navosavakadua. Your people trying to kill them but they got no power. Ratu cakobau was kicked out from the west by Navosavakadua, and the cnt pis off and went all the way to British for help. And from there we from the west we know that he went there 4 three reason.(1) get the palagi to kill our chiefs (2) to take our land.(3) to change our identity. Our history sold by Ratu Cakobau to British and that's why this palagi garret said we not from Africa. Ratu Cakobau was trying to overpowered the west but he couldn't. So he ask the British to kill our chiefs and hide our ancestors identity. But I tell you what? He didn't even kill our chiefs, and no one will ever ever destroyed our identity. We are African.
May god bless you brother. Thanks for finding all our family around the world and let us to get to know each other. The coloniser separated us to loot and destroy us.
Also, please can you make one video about you showing them pictures of your own country/culture. I'm sure they would appreciate it if you showed them Ivorian culture - especially if the culture is similar to their culture. By the way, thank you for making these videos.
Being a grandson of a fijian chief, our legend state we traveled down the river Rufiji in Africa south of Tanzania . Apparently we were warrior who also worked as gold mines Egypt
Rugby is our national sport so we should know anyways, especially when that was the same year in 1995 where we didn't even qualify for the world cup in South Africa hence Ivory Coast being there because they qualified once.
Bula Sid ...came across your vlog while watching two of my best African vloggers (We Are the Ocampo's and Another one is African Indian vlogger -Sandhira Chetty . Love watching all your Vedios.

We call the leaves "kontomire" in Ghana, West Africa. We also make stews and soups from the leaves. They are cocoyam leaves. They look lime spinach. This place is Ghana in another world.
Who told you Tanganyika story is new? Is new to you. Europeans with their stupidity initially gave all the black people there different names, trying to confuse them and the world that they're not blacks but it didn't work. These fijians and Africans knew this history long before Europeans. The Europeans did the same shit in Africa trying to divide us...Calling some blacks Bantu, Nilos, Cushitic, San just to say we're different blacks and that too didn't work. Very jealous, INSECURE, people
Taqaniika is where the forefathers of most kaiViti descendants came from the paternal lineage maternal from Egypt hahahahahaha that was centuries ago before Europeans Chinese and other sailors saw Fiji. Nowadays most of the descendants especially those that are so dark skin tell lies a lot of where they originally come from just look at the behavior yes happy down to earth and always smiling. It is a secret for most of them descendants to hide their origins hahahahahahaha other wise their families come search for their long missing relatives
@@shelbourneking4135 well the reason I said that is because I'm from the United States so a lot of people from the islands sounded like to me and sometimes when they're from Africa I can sometimes not tell
It's kinda the same when you hear afro-latinos speak compared to African Americans, or a Nigerian. You just know when somebody is foreign from your place of origin regardless of whether they look similar to your people.
Traditional clothes Vinivo dress liku skirts taurasese pants sote shirt look you very good in Fijian vernacular language now. Villages females not allowed to wear pants or shorts unless YOU THE CHIEF OWNER OF THE VILLAGE. BIG BOSS.
We are Global Indigenous people!! Love and Unity is the best key for us all together!!💯 Also Giving thanks to the Great Mother's/Goddesses and Great Father's/Gods and the Ancestors and Guardians!! Saying from Snefer aka Bashiyr!!👸🏿🤴🏿
For your information my friend , Fijians don't have roots in Africa. DNA and it's language points to Taiwan. Fijians use the Tagalog vowels when they speak. It's origins trace back to Asia namely Taiwan. This vowels is strongly used in Japan as well. The Tagalog vowels which is also used across the Polynesia archipelago is (A,E,I,O,U) which for a start does not exist in any part of Africa. Secondly , our DNA which is the ultimate proof shows no direct link to Africa but Asia and the South Pacific and in most cases , Amazon. If there was any DNA link , then it would probably be a one off night stand type thing. People in Fiji are not well informed of this issue because they rely on hear say stories over kava or similar type setting and make decisions based on similar vowel sounds as suggested with the "Tanganyika" fib where in our language, it's pronounced " Tagani-ika).Two separate words describing fish in a sack and not one straight word which would have sound Taqanika (Notice the "Q" in this spelling) as oppose to the above from Africa. Our DNA points to Asia where our numbers are so similar to that of Taiwan , Filipinas , down to Indonesia. None of it exist in any part of Africa. Our double decked canoes in the past use to carry more than 3000 men and women. Their features probably changed somewhere between Indonesia and Melanesia. Though Fijians look like Melanesian's,( Dark Skinned ) their culture and language are that of Polynesia.(Lighter Skinned) Melanesians don't have chiefly systems and protocols as those in Polynesia like The Kingdom Tonga for an example. Melanesia just have like some sort of a headman's of its group similar to a chief but that's all there is to it, A chief. Watching this video makes me sad because of the mis information these market vendors are carrying around as if it's true when It's not. That tour guide lady was totally oblivious to the potential damage she could be causing us Fijians to the outside world. Govt needs to put laws in place to control those type's of promotions where an inexperienced individual is involved. I am saying this from a sincere heart who has business interest in Fiji as well. I have shown this video to friends and so far one even responded with disgust and said that lady doesn't even know the Fintel building but she knows how to rot a tourist. On the same token, your video is the first where I've seen someone mention the term 'Black" Fijians. It's usually Melanesians or Polynesians. We weren't slaves in history but fierce warriors who established itself in Fiji some thousand years back and which was called" Fisi" by the Tongans or "Viti" in Fijian. These three countries are related one way or the other, Samoa, Tonga and Fiji. I hope this should shed some light as who we truly we are as Fijians. Have nothing against Africans either but rather not allow people carrying on fib hear say stories where it has become somewhat real to those market vendors. Goodness knows how far those stories have gone. Please stick to the DNA and vowels theory as proof, that's all. Peace. Here's one proof of many ruclips.net/video/ex603AVm3TE/видео.html Binaka .
i thought so , just didn’t make sense to me that our ancestors came all the way from tanganyika . I always thought our ancestors were austronesian people (Lapita people) who originated from south east asia . 🤷🏽♀️
The vowels you referred to are ALL without exception ALL used on the African continent by different African people. That is absolutely wrong. I see clearly this person is not a scholar of any sort now that does that mean that in trying to prove him wrong we have to invent things. Africa, is a continent not a country. A continent in which almost every other continent could fit in. It is the biggest one so please do not do like the individual who put up this video and come up with your own stuff. He has his opinion and others have their opinion, as for the reality it is not what people think. Also this out of Africa theory we always here about is a European invention. People is not to assume every African buys into it.
@Kazumi Mishima 007 My brother I finally understand why they say yall Melanesians & Australian Aborigines are connected with Niger-Kongoid peoples in Afraka & in the Americas. It seems that in the bible according to Zephaniah 3 & 10 that Niger-Kongos are God's: Beyond Nubia (Kush) and in Isaiah 18:1-2 it saying that Niger-Kongos in Afraka were sailing to their dispersed family. All this was happening in old times. I believe there is something to this because in Bantu Languages and the Languages of West Afraka you can see some form of Ancient Ebrew in our languages.
1st century cushites from Ethiopia settle in Tanganyika 10th century AD about this time the fable of fijian from Tanganyika ( Chronological History man in Tanganyika)
This is outstanding content. I wonder if African disdain for camera is due to mistrust of motive arising from colonialism? It is interesting that Fijians are so open to filming and documenting, perhaps because their heritage is not one of imperialism, colonialism and having been exploited? Just wondering....it seems that cultures that have not been severed are far more trusting. Your vlogging is exceptional, sir!
@@radinikorocaulagilagi8350 My apologies if I minimized an experience you have had via colonialism. I was unaware, as my exposure to Fijians has shown a fierce protection of customs, governance and practices. I am sincerely seeking understanding. It can be said that our brothers and sisters across the globe are generally friendly. Yet, many diasporan cultures, especially in Africa and Europe have an extraordinary disdain for filming. My intent is to understand this phenomenon.
We may have been exploited, but the British eventually left us alone to do our own thing unlike in other colonies. You can see that in our mannerisms and politeness and even picked up the British pastime of tea that we even offer tea to others as they pass by the villages and houses.
Some Indians/Indo-Fijians are very disrespectful to Black Fijians. I was so insulted when an Indian Spice vendor just went off on the Black Fijians knowing I am black just like them. It was a horrible experience & I let him know how his Belief & Attitude towards Black Fijians is unacceptable.
Eliman Gibba , there are good and bad people in every community, the person you dealt with might had a bad day and you know sh**t happens. ..its good that you reminded him where he stand ...but majority of indo Fijians are good people and they are the ones who have contributed immediately to the island of fiji and they continue to do so in so many ways....Btw wat nationality are you?
@@Jamestoko To be fair the incident ( my fiancee now wife of 13 years & together 22 years ,witnessed it all in Suva ) happened with 1 Indo-Fijian. It was & still baffling to me that he would speak of & about Native Black Fijians to us like that ! I must also push back on : I quote “ you know shit happens “ James it is commonly known that Indo-Fijians look down on the Black Fijians . True or Not ! As far as your point about Indo-Fijians contributing to the Developement etc, I agree to the extend that they have better financial ( my wife and I always look into Business opportunities every where we travel to & Business dynamics/environment/conditions as well ) opportunities than most Black Fijians > True or False ? A similar scenario is playing out in the Gambia where Indians control 99% the Super Markets and control much of the Economy ( Trade Market/Financial Backing ) & their biggest competition in the Market & Economic space , is not Gambians but Lebanese,Iranians, Pakistanis & other Immigrant communities. I will however edit my comment and say Some Indians instead. Love & Peace.
@@Jamestoko . Yep that is true James. I'm an indigenous Fijian from the west in Fiji and I was in a very bad day from work too. I don't have any problems with Fijian Indian because they belong to Fiji and not only that, they are Fijian. Don't put me wrong they a very good people cos hia in Aussie they a way better than any pacific islanders. They got the islanders heart because anywhere you meet them they come n say bula. Sorry if my comments was a little bit harsh to you but, to be honest I don't have any problems at all with them. Thanks.

Amazing people
Thank you brother. Your videos are amazing.!!!!!!!!
I'm native fijian and I do not believe in the taganyika theory but I'm invested in watching you visit places in fiji. hope you enjoy ur stay❤
Yep, your name tells me that you a not from the west. I don't know where Radinikorocau from.
My grandfather told me that people were already in Fiji way before lutunasobasoba and his crew arrived in vuda.
@@sonnytulavu9656 . That is correct and it's not only one boat arrived in Fiji. So what did Ur grandfather said and who are they? Because people a mixing this people from west and others. I do believe that the people from Naitasiri comes from the west because there is a very special people from Naitasiri still living next.to the mountain call Nakauvadra until today. To tell you the truth, not many people in Fiji knows this people until today, if anyone wanna see them, they have to go through that mountain call Nakauvadra.
@@nikeeddie9430 the first people that arrived were the Navitilevu tribe, but I've been told that the Nakauvadra too had a few tribes that settled there. Also some pre- melanesian people that settle there that have links back to the solomon islands Malaita province.
@@sonnytulavu9656.well, I think Ur grandfather has a made-up story or his from lapita family. Lutunasobasoba destroyed all lapitas from the west in the old days. That's why we got this two powerful man in Fiji call Udreudre and Navosavakadua. Your people trying to kill them but they got no power. Ratu cakobau was kicked out from the west by Navosavakadua, and the cnt pis off and went all the way to British for help. And from there we from the west we know that he went there 4 three reason.(1) get the palagi to kill our chiefs (2) to take our land.(3) to change our identity. Our history sold by Ratu Cakobau to British and that's why this palagi garret said we not from Africa. Ratu Cakobau was trying to overpowered the west but he couldn't. So he ask the British to kill our chiefs and hide our ancestors identity. But I tell you what? He didn't even kill our chiefs, and no one will ever ever destroyed our identity. We are African.
May god bless you brother. Thanks for finding all our family around the world and let us to get to know each other. The coloniser separated us to loot and destroy us.
What is beauty...remember the old saying...beauty is in the beholders eyes...
Thank you very much for making the connection from the caribbean

Thanks for documenting Fijian Life... this is good!,
This man is the real deal bro even better. ruclips.net/video/juGVsQd_CAg/видео.html
Great to see my hometown.
Wow that is my home town Fiji Nadi
Also, please can you make one video about you showing them pictures of your own country/culture. I'm sure they would appreciate it if you showed them Ivorian culture - especially if the culture is similar to their culture. By the way, thank you for making these videos.
I’m so happy to watch this from Australia Brisbane
Being a grandson of a fijian chief,
our legend state we traveled down the river Rufiji in Africa south of Tanzania .
Apparently we were warrior who also worked as gold mines Egypt
Omg thats amazing is there more to the story? Please tell, i love to hear these types of stories!
If you're still in Fiji there's a Nigerian RUclipsr living there you can do a video with.
What's the youtube name?
@@AlkebulanJahmiah Aijah U,She do contents about Lives in Fiji.
Hello Visual Poet! Please tell the Fijians that Ivory Coast used to play international rugby.
Rugby is our national sport so we should know anyways, especially when that was the same year in 1995 where we didn't even qualify for the world cup in South Africa hence Ivory Coast being there because they qualified once.
@@Samizouza Yes, they were inexperienced, I think and one of their players was sadly paralyzed during a game.
Miss Fiji Baby !
Sid please can you inform me more why the Fijians are mentioning Tanganyika ?
Tanganyika is ancient and tanzania is Morden

We call the leaves "kontomire" in Ghana, West Africa. We also make stews and soups from the leaves. They are cocoyam leaves. They look lime spinach. This place is Ghana in another world.
What you don't realise is that the taqanyika rumour is still fairly new. Introduced by the colonisers to explain away how we look..
Who told you Tanganyika story is new? Is new to you. Europeans with their stupidity initially gave all the black people there different names, trying to confuse them and the world that they're not blacks but it didn't work. These fijians and Africans knew this history long before Europeans. The Europeans did the same shit in Africa trying to divide us...Calling some blacks Bantu, Nilos, Cushitic, San just to say we're different blacks and that too didn't work. Very jealous, INSECURE, people
Taqaniika is where the forefathers of most kaiViti descendants came from the paternal lineage maternal from Egypt hahahahahaha that was centuries ago before Europeans Chinese and other sailors saw Fiji.
Nowadays most of the descendants especially those that are so dark skin tell lies a lot of where they originally come from just look at the behavior yes happy down to earth and always smiling.
It is a secret for most of them descendants to hide their origins hahahahahahaha other wise their families come search for their long missing relatives
Now you see more mixed races because of inter provincial marriages and inter racial marriages. They always hide it secret thing hahahahahaha
We learn it in schools in Fiji Social Studies and Social Science first settlers that saw Fiji and settled from Taqaniika Africa hahahahahaha

It's funny how all of them have an accent but they can tell that he's not from there. LOL❤
All humans have an accent , what are you really talking about ? He have a different accent , and he looks different to them .
@@shelbourneking4135 well the reason I said that is because I'm from the United States so a lot of people from the islands sounded like to me and sometimes when they're from Africa I can sometimes not tell
It's kinda the same when you hear afro-latinos speak compared to African Americans, or a Nigerian. You just know when somebody is foreign from your place of origin regardless of whether they look similar to your people.
Do one in New Caledonia 🇳🇨 with the kanaky brothers and sisters. And Solomon Islands🇸🇧 Vanuatu 🇻🇺 and PNG 🇵🇬
Marya is still single 😅😂🥰
Traditional clothes Vinivo dress liku skirts taurasese pants sote shirt look you very good in Fijian vernacular language now.

Is fresh seafood ( fish, prawns, crabs, oysters) on sale at Nadi Market? Thank you.
Thanks for 4 show caseing this wonderful topic.. sweat and blood to earn a living . All organic food stuff.
For your information my friend , Fijians don't have roots in Africa. DNA and it's language points to Taiwan. Fijians use the Tagalog vowels when they speak. It's origins trace back to Asia namely Taiwan. This vowels is strongly used in Japan as well. The Tagalog vowels which is also used across the Polynesia archipelago is (A,E,I,O,U) which for a start does not exist in any part of Africa. Secondly , our DNA which is the ultimate proof shows no direct link to Africa but Asia and the South Pacific and in most cases , Amazon. If there was any DNA link , then it would probably be a one off night stand type thing. People in Fiji are not well informed of this issue because they rely on hear say stories over kava or similar type setting and make decisions based on similar vowel sounds as suggested with the "Tanganyika" fib where in our language, it's pronounced " Tagani-ika).Two separate words describing fish in a sack and not one straight word which would have sound Taqanika (Notice the "Q" in this spelling) as oppose to the above from Africa. Our DNA points to Asia where our numbers are so similar to that of Taiwan , Filipinas , down to Indonesia. None of it exist in any part of Africa. Our double decked canoes in the past use to carry more than 3000 men and women. Their features probably changed somewhere between Indonesia and Melanesia. Though Fijians look like Melanesian's,( Dark Skinned ) their culture and language are that of Polynesia.(Lighter Skinned) Melanesians don't have chiefly systems and protocols as those in Polynesia like The Kingdom Tonga for an example. Melanesia just have like some sort of a headman's of its group similar to a chief but that's all there is to it, A chief. Watching this video makes me sad because of the mis information these market vendors are carrying around as if it's true when It's not. That tour guide lady was totally oblivious to the potential damage she could be causing us Fijians to the outside world. Govt needs to put laws in place to control those type's of promotions where an inexperienced individual is involved. I am saying this from a sincere heart who has business interest in Fiji as well. I have shown this video to friends and so far one even responded with disgust and said that lady doesn't even know the Fintel building but she knows how to rot a tourist. On the same token, your video is the first where I've seen someone mention the term 'Black" Fijians. It's usually Melanesians or Polynesians. We weren't slaves in history but fierce warriors who established itself in Fiji some thousand years back and which was called" Fisi" by the Tongans or "Viti" in Fijian. These three countries are related one way or the other, Samoa, Tonga and Fiji. I hope this should shed some light as who we truly we are as Fijians. Have nothing against Africans either but rather not allow people carrying on fib hear say stories where it has become somewhat real to those market vendors. Goodness knows how far those stories have gone. Please stick to the DNA and vowels theory as proof, that's all. Peace.
Here's one proof of many ruclips.net/video/ex603AVm3TE/видео.html Binaka .
Why they still look african
i thought so , just didn’t make sense to me that our ancestors came all the way from tanganyika . I always thought our ancestors were austronesian people (Lapita people) who originated from south east asia . 🤷🏽♀️
The vowels you referred to are ALL without exception ALL used on the African continent by different African people. That is absolutely wrong. I see clearly this person is not a scholar of any sort now that does that mean that in trying to prove him wrong we have to invent things. Africa, is a continent not a country. A continent in which almost every other continent could fit in. It is the biggest one so please do not do like the individual who put up this video and come up with your own stuff. He has his opinion and others have their opinion, as for the reality it is not what people think. Also this out of Africa theory we always here about is a European invention. People is not to assume every African buys into it.
You're an idiot. ALL melanated Black people are relatives. FOH!
@Kazumi Mishima
007 My brother I finally understand why they say yall Melanesians & Australian Aborigines are connected with Niger-Kongoid peoples in Afraka & in the Americas. It seems that in the bible according to Zephaniah 3 & 10 that Niger-Kongos are God's: Beyond Nubia (Kush) and in Isaiah 18:1-2 it saying that Niger-Kongos in Afraka were sailing to their dispersed family. All this was happening in old times. I believe there is something to this because in Bantu Languages and the Languages of West Afraka you can see some form of Ancient Ebrew in our languages.
I know they not African but they look like cousins of mind.
You better go deep in history lesson b4 coming to social media to render opinion
1st century cushites from Ethiopia settle in Tanganyika
10th century AD about this time the fable of fijian from Tanganyika
( Chronological History man in Tanganyika)
Remember this fully.
This is outstanding content. I wonder if African disdain for camera is due to mistrust of motive arising from colonialism? It is interesting that Fijians are so open to filming and documenting, perhaps because their heritage is not one of imperialism, colonialism and having been exploited? Just wondering....it seems that cultures that have not been severed are far more trusting. Your vlogging is exceptional, sir!
Camera disdain for camera i think comes sonce the colonizers started to take pics of them till today.
we certainly have been exploited by colonialism... our people are just very friendly like that 😭🤣
@@radinikorocaulagilagi8350 My apologies if I minimized an experience you have had via colonialism. I was unaware, as my exposure to Fijians has shown a fierce protection of customs, governance and practices. I am sincerely seeking understanding. It can be said that our brothers and sisters across the globe are generally friendly. Yet, many diasporan cultures, especially in Africa and Europe have an extraordinary disdain for filming. My intent is to understand this phenomenon.
We may have been exploited, but the British eventually left us alone to do our own thing unlike in other colonies. You can see that in our mannerisms and politeness and even picked up the British pastime of tea that we even offer tea to others as they pass by the villages and houses.
Tell us cost, flight time. Weather. Rout from america, Canada from africa to Fiji
Internet bro.
I love this bloke 😂
Some Indians/Indo-Fijians are very disrespectful to Black Fijians. I was so insulted when an Indian Spice vendor just went off on the Black Fijians knowing I am black just like them. It was a horrible experience & I let him know how his Belief & Attitude towards Black Fijians is unacceptable.
Aliman Gibba. Who is he? I wish I was there to be honest, God knows what I'm gonna do to him.
Eliman Gibba , there are good and bad people in every community, the person you dealt with might had a bad day and you know sh**t happens. ..its good that you reminded him where he stand ...but majority of indo Fijians are good people and they are the ones who have contributed immediately to the island of fiji and they continue to do so in so many ways....Btw wat nationality are you?
@@nikeeddie9430 your still living the primitive lifestyle, grow up little girl and don't be racist.
@@Jamestoko To be fair the incident ( my fiancee now wife of 13 years & together 22 years ,witnessed it all in Suva ) happened with 1 Indo-Fijian. It was & still baffling to me that he would speak of & about Native Black Fijians to us like that ! I must also push back on : I quote “ you know shit happens “ James it is commonly known that Indo-Fijians look down on the Black Fijians . True or Not ! As far as your point about Indo-Fijians contributing to the Developement etc, I agree to the extend that they have better financial ( my wife and I always look into Business opportunities every where we travel to & Business dynamics/environment/conditions as well ) opportunities than most Black Fijians > True or False ? A similar scenario is playing out in the Gambia where Indians control 99% the Super Markets and control much of the Economy ( Trade Market/Financial Backing ) & their biggest competition in the Market & Economic space , is not Gambians but Lebanese,Iranians, Pakistanis & other Immigrant communities. I will however edit my comment and say Some Indians instead. Love & Peace.
@@Jamestoko . Yep that is true James. I'm an indigenous Fijian from the west in Fiji and I was in a very bad day from work too. I don't have any problems with Fijian Indian because they belong to Fiji and not only that, they are Fijian. Don't put me wrong they a very good people cos hia in Aussie they a way better than any pacific islanders. They got the islanders heart because anywhere you meet them they come n say bula. Sorry if my comments was a little bit harsh to you but, to be honest I don't have any problems at all with them. Thanks.
