WODE MAYA God bless you for this video. I love the way you lovingly helped to you counter the negative stereotype of Africa. I only wish other Africans can do the same Every time they get the opportunity.
My bro thanks for representing i just started recently following you and i just watched this video africa is hot aperspective we all africans dont share because we from different parts of africa you been to kenya recently wait you go to rwanda you won't find the same kinda hottness you experience in morroco ghana to my understanding which countries close to the sea are hotter i dont know why but i just wanted to lay it out their for u to keep an open mind don't take in anegative way that am trying to shoot down your opinion thanks bro
Thnx for the video but y don't u show even the east African countries like Kenya highlands, tanzania, Uganda( the pearl of Africa) it's tropical like and wildlife then Rwanda hills. But u only talk about the northern part of Africa
BAP's 'Wake Me Up' will leave you shookt have u ever been to one of the African nations?what the fact is is that china sends in bad goods(rice,eggs,phones, and what have they....so u should just shut up and just address ur country on how to stop killing people..i am a Nigerian and most of my the places i know is better than china...go to Nigeria and Ghana n some to African countries and see ur people there. Say what u know n have see n not to blab..its not working here
HAHAH Im actually black african myself (Ethiopian) been to Ethiopia many times, so I know what I am talking about. Its a fact that Africa is poor.....and pls dont embarrass yourself "most of my places I know is better than China"
Sometimes it's just a gift from God for people to be naturally positive and send out good vibes. And yes, some people have to work at it and be patient. I fall in the latter category :-)
Ghana man thank, you have being doing good job to show the whole world that Africa is not poor....we are better than others country a cross the world,we are proud of ourselves as African,beauty, environment, weather,etc.. pride of Africa....one love, together as one.....
I lived in Germany for over 10 years and I watched a lot of TV. I never saw for once German TVs show any pictures about black Africa that was not about poverty. The Nigerian capital is probably more beautiful than the most beautiful city in Germany. But I never saw footages of the Nigerian capital for once on German TV. But there are many German companies making billions from the same Nigeria and they have been there before Nigerian independence. Talk about racism.
@@WODEMAYA, my brother, you can hope from now till kingdom come and nothing will change, unless we ourselves, change for the better. Nobody will tell your story, unless you tell it yourself. That is the only way to liberate our land.
The rich ones are smart, why would the want others to come and exploit and enjoy what they are enjoying? The have to make it look as bad as possible so the mumu ones dont come and shorten thier ration🤣🤣
I love these videos because you are really teaching people that Africa isn't just what is seen in the adverts and documentaries shown on tv and the internet. Everywhere does have a bad side and a good side it's not all doom and gloom
I think people need to travel a lot,esp.to Africa and see how beautiful the continent is.Media only wants people to see the"ugly" side of Africa! Been to Tanzania, Egypt, Kenya, it's breath taking!!!
I like this guy, educating these Chinese people who think Africa is bad as they think, showing them the fact, it’s a really beautiful thing.... Good job bro from America 🇺🇸 but I’m an African, can’t wait to visit China 🇨🇳 and Japan 🇯🇵

You are doing a wonderful thing young man! I am a 58 year old African American woman and I love your videos. Keep up the good work. Knowledge Is Power!
We have never worn leaves in Africa, neverrr i think she is referring to people from the islands and Papua new guinea, solomon islands....anyway awesome vid as usual!😆
charmaine jay i see what your saying. but mever is too big a word. in africa there are varying tribes. who speak different langauges...presentlly about 3000 languages across the xontinent. before it was more maybe around 4000 languages . with diff customs beliefs.etc and some dress differently. some lived naked. some had great clothes laced with gold etc like the ashante and others. some had robes since they lived in the desert etc . these days most everyone wears the same style of clothes.
it is not really about wearing leaves or not it is all about perspective, the presenter got it exactly right when he said it is media propaganda, the lady was only repeating what she had been fed but thankfully the short guy is doing what he can to change this in his own little way
It's so sad in this 21st century, people still have this perception about Africa ... Big ups to you for championing this move. Africa to the World. #NewAfricaNation
This young man's efforts will definitely add him to the list of Africans who have stood tall for the continent. His philosophy is not just about our own narrative told by us but also decolonization of our minds.
The FACT that Agadir, Morocco my hometown was used for the thumbnail and everything makes me so proud for some reason 😭😭. Like he could've chosen the capital or any other city in all of Africa but it was my little insignificant city.
Yeah right, just a few people, there needs to be an anti propaganda campaign on a global scale to show everyone the truth that Africa has both highly modernized and ancient civilsation and all the extremely important inventions that black Americans gave to the world that we are using everyday wile assuming they were made by white people. Make Films youtube channels, documentaries, music videos EVERYTHING showing African cities, african modern lifestyle, and complex African ancient civilizations, not just mali and songhai, but Bamileke, Asante, Zimbabwe, Nubia, Aksum, Gondar, and many more.
Wode maya. You are a great African ambassador to china( and the rest of the world, through RUclips). Most people outside of Africa only know Africa from portrayals from Hollywood or documentaries about certain scenic wildlife reserves of Africa. You are showing them the cities, which don't ever get shown. Of course, the awesome wildlife reserves of Africa should be known, as they are some of the greatest treasures on earth, but it seems that these areas are all that's ever shown, thus creating an unbalanced and unrealistic primitive impression of Africa, as if the Serengeti is all Africa has and the great hunting Maasai tribe represents all Africans. It's about time more of the urban side of Africa is shown! Great vid, educational and long overdue.
Wode Maya is a true ambassador in every sense of the world. I am so proud of that young man. He is telling and showing a true/positive image of Africa to the world. Much needed. Thank you Wode Maya!
Thank you Wode Maya for sharing this precious conversation with your Chinese friends, which helps educate everyone about the real Africa which is a glorious and beautiful continent. Your video effectively deals with common misconceptions that people have gotten from biased mainstream media.
I love this!! Thank you so much for educating another culture and dispelling misinformation. This is why it is important for cultures to mingle. There are poor and wealthy sections in every country. But in the West (including the Caribbean where I'm from), we usually see the negative aspects of Africa, Asia, India and the Mid East (basically any place that isn't Euro-centric) fed to us through media that has a certain agenda. This was highly refreshing, educational, and so much more balanced than mainstream media. Keep up the good work!
People in Africa think too that the entire USA is heaven on earth...please go in here on youtube and type in the search engine " Skid Row - Los Angeles". U will be shocked to see disheartening things about that very USA!
This is beautiful, as an African I really cant blame such perspectives. If you watch something long enough on media, especially on news you tend to believe it. This makes me question my own perspective of other countries because of media as a person in South Africa. Awesome job Wode Maya!!!!!!!!
GHANA BABY, I like the attitude of the group in the video. Although they appeared to be uninformed from thebeginning, later they seemed open minded and willing to accept the reality when you pointed them out, with the aid of your smart phone. You are doing a good job Bro. Keep it up. Cheers
My Pet True, every one can see that it was out of ignorance and documentaries they watch on tv especially from the western world, on the other hand we from the west consciously choose to portray Africa in distasteful manner! Again we have hate groups everywhere from the top to the bottom class. It makes it difficult for the innocent among us to defend the west!
bro thanks for the job you are doing in changing peoples mindsets about Africa. Really felt bad when i heard these people expressing themselves on what they thought Africa was. God bless your movement in changing the narratives
Thank you MAYA WODE for putting a profile picture of my former late President, His Excellency JOHN POMBE MAGUFULI... IT'S A GREAT HONOUR TO US TANZANIANS. YOU MADE US PROUD AND REPRESENTED US VERY WELL, THANKS AGAIN WODE MAYA. MAY YOU TRAVEL THE WORLD AND INFORM MORE PEOPLE ABOUT OUR BEAUTIFUL CONTINENT AFRICA. WATANZANIA TUJIDAI JAMANI.
Wode Maya, more respect to you man..wow.. you deserve all you are getting today and I wish you even better..you have put in a lot of work and just found out today you speak Mandarin..wow!
in fact am so satisfied with this video.... but next let take them to the next level.... by showing them some videos of African friends on the street. just to let them know it for themselves... we should make a live video for them to witness... that Africa isn't so like as and what they see on TV ... thanks
Wode maya i would like to see u in my country Ivory Coast in west Africa, and in DRC-Congo too. There are nice things to discover about those 2 countries! What is ur take bro? And about DRC, despite the war going in the eastern part of the country for so long now, there are still many many many wonrdrous things to discover in the rest of the Country. Recently on internet a white lady after a visit there, was talking of the beauties of sceneries in Kivu land in DRC, a "Divine place" to quote her. And to go back to my country Ivory Coast, it is the most developped in the sub-region. Surely u already knew about Wode Maya !
Bro you doing a great job to present our continent Africa what we are and what we can do God bless you always your videos are very interesting I learn a lot from it
i have to say, at least in china, the media actually talk about africa, in its good and in its bad. here in the west, you never see any reports from africa, it's as if it didn't exist or there's nothing happening.
I love the video but u should have shown them more than 2 photos, at least like 4 to 5 it would not take more than 7mins, you can still do it as part 2 tho😂😂😂 cause many channels also do it the same way,PLEASE
Wode Maya, you are slooowly and surely winning my heart. As a person who loves travelling its interesting seeing you get the word out there about Africa. GO YOUUU BRO.
I'm so glad that you're educating them. I'm a part of the African Diaspora. I'm American by many centuries, and sadly, many of my people think of Africa like this. People need to wake up. We can't be so stupid to think of stuff like Africa is nothing but desert. It's a continent surrounded by sea like all the others. When we think were better than another group of people based on the generalizations we follow, we actually show ourselves to be stupid, in lack of logic and our own individual common sense. Stop following the media dictation.
You've got me hooked. I came across your channel today and already I've looked at probably 20 or so videos. You're just right for this. You beam rewarding to you in everyway.
This one of the best videos I have ever watched... So natural and full of information. Seriously it has also changed my perception about ordinary Chinese😁🙏
I think that chineses in China are in contact with some of their people doing business in Africa...and God knows there numerous here in Africa . They could have on multiple occasions already said to their fellow chineses in China that Africa is not as backcward as most of those who are in China think. They could have done the job to change the mentality about Africa of their people at home to confirm Wode Maya' says!!! But anyway...Maya is doing a superb job!!! But anyway...
Let's see 🤔 they have been talking about how Africa isn't how they think it is for about an hour & I'm pretty sure they still believe it to be exactly as they imagined in the first place sad how closed minded people can be
You're wrong, maybe because you're used to being negative, the world is changing, people from different places will gradually change their minds by communicating, understanding each other, and we're not so closed in China, otherwise how could you get a message from a Chinese in RUclips? Believe that the world will be a better place, and then contribute your strength to it. Don't spread negative thoughts, which will only make bad people happy. 你错了，这也许因为你习惯消极，这世界正在改变，不同地方的人通过沟通，互相理解，观念会慢慢改变，我们中国也没有那么封闭，否则你怎么会收到一个中国人在youtube的留言。请你相信这世界会变得更好，然后为此贡献你自己的力量，不要传播消极的想法，那只会让坏人开心
That's great! I have watched more than 200 videos of yours man. Since I got introduced to your amazing YOU TUBE channel in 2021 I'm always yearning for you to upload a nice vlog
it's sometimes frustrating though..I'm from Africa..a third world country..and yet I know more than I'm expected to know..I still say there is no excuse for this.
I would like to say to my african people that the western world is not too, an entire "heaven"!. I would like u in here on youtube to type in the search engine "Skid Row-Los Angeles". And u will see disheartening, disturbing, shocking videos, about that very USA side, medias don't talk too much about. most africans in their mentality think that USA is heaven on earth. U could go further and type too "Skid-Row during covid-19" And then later too "america hoods and the violence"; " ghettos in USA"
I am MAAYAAA..... I am really loving all your videos my brother. Saying hello again from Orlando Florida I am sharing your Channel with all of my friends we love people from Ghana they are some of the nicest people in the world
This is so great. To sit them down and educate them like this. This is the types of conversations we need to be having with ppl outside our race and sell a different idea of Africa to them. Counteract what entities like National Geographic has sold to the world for so many years. Well done!
Hey bro! Good job! I'm a big fan of yours.. and I really love this video but there's one thing in it that I'm not very happy with... We have such beautiful cities in the sub-saharan Africa so if it's possible next time show some of those cities instead of North Africa. After all the majority of them are not proud of our continent. They don't want to be called Africans. Thanks!
For sure Africa is rich, has no dirty places, weather is not hot, no deseases, no boko haram, all people well-educated and fat (because having too much food) etc. Just a paradise!
An interesting reaction, i feel more reactions of this kind should be done. Asians reaction to African stuff. Whites reacting to African stuff. Blacks ( various other national backgrounds) reacting to African stuff. And the vise versa of this.
I truly enjoy this. I had to do this to work and school many times growing up in America. And to somw this don't look like it will help educate ppl. But it do help. I've been told that because of my loving my continent and my nation Liberia, it has inspire others to love it too and want to go there to visit. Keep doing what u do my brother. I'm proud of you. #fave #episode
Yes , most of the pictures what you've shown are undoubtedly from Africa but the fact is still Africa is counted as the poorest continent in the world (economically , financially ) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_Africa but are all African countries and people are poor ? No ! There are many countries in Africa with high GDP and PPP compare to many countries in world , now having said that -Is China rich ? No ! Still China has a lot of issues and it has a long way to go as the human development index (HDI) of China is still low . Most of the people here in China know much about the rich countries (economically ) in the west but they don't know even in the west they've got poor people , homeless people . In NYC for instance there are more than 50000 homeless people www.coalitionforthehomeless.org/basic-facts-about-homelessness-new-york-city/ . When you say this to Chinese people they ain't believe it cause when they see Hollywood /European movies , all they see is skyscrapers, richass lifestyle and how economically prosperous and modern people in the west are which is not 100% true . It's hard to get a job in the west that's why people from the west are running to east ( from western countries to the eastern countries) but this is somehow isn't well understood by most of the Chinese people cause they're unaware from the rest of the world ( mostly ) .
Africa is the richest and most socially free continent. It just isn't the most modern in many instances. In Africa you have the most economically democratic place in the world. Westerners like to fool the world by using words like income to define wealth. First of all, many African nations' currencies are derivations of western currencies that exist at a fixed rate in relation to the western currency they are a derivative of. Therefore, what a European means is your average African has less purchasing power than your average westerner. However, your average African also has more assets than your average westerner. Land ownership is far more democratized in Africa. So, even if an African person's labor and product is valued less on the international market, your average African has more purchasing power within their own society. A great majority of Africans own the homes (outright) and land within which they live. A landlord cannot come one day and kick them out of their homes. Westerners exist in an alternative reality that is largely media, marketing and consumption driven. Your average westerner has been misled to believe that the only way to judge the value of something is via its aesthetics. As a result, westerners think because their homes may look more polished or their cars look newer, or their clothes look newer that they actually lead higher quality lives than the average African. This couldnl't be further from the truth. Unfortunately, Africans like the Chinese and the westerner are falling for the same media brainwashing the west consistently puts out via Hollywood. Africans real problem is systemic and it is systemic because there is a western cancer holding Africa hostage via military imperialism and threats of violence. France is one such example of a country that strong arms African nations and bombs, invades and stages civil unrest in order to bring independent minded African leaders under their control. Some of you blinded by your ignorance and brainwashing will instinctively reject all of what I've said. However, it won't change the truth, nor do I care actually.
francois williams Well , you can't say that . Some Chinese are ignorant for the fact that they don't know much about the world but calling them fools is pretty farcical , China is the second largest economy in the word en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal) and developing extremely fast . The lifestyle of people here in China is changing rapidly as the average household income is almost 10000-20000 USD a year which is far ahead than most of the countries . A country can't develop in this pace with fools and (no offense ) but I totally disagree with you calling Chinese fools .
The continent is large with many ethnicities. He could have shown them a lot more. I think he had an in by speaking their language. That's why speaking in tongues in the Bible was so important.
Wode Maya, that was one great interview and elevating content you put up there. Well ✔ done my brother. You are definitely 👍 putting Africa on the mind of the world🌍. Good point for speaking 👏 the language.
why do they agree to be filmed saying this brainless stuff? and why do they continue to talk as if they are right when they were ignorantly wrong about something? arrogance.
barrelrolldog actually I appreciate their honesty and it makes this video far more meaningful "I have come to the sinners not to the healed, for what help do they need?"
Africa is a continent.....when you asked them about what they think about Africa?....it's doesn't make sense coz Africa is not a country.My South African🇿🇦 life is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar different from people in Ethiopia... etc .Plz be careful coz being a viewer hearing that is poor,shortage of water...etc...thats not South Africa🇿🇦....I am a South African🇿🇦 when I have to identify myself to others.....plz be very careful.....Africa is not a country but a continent....it's like asking how is life in Asia 🤔🤔....kind of stupid🙄🙄

Bro u're doing good keep the good work
My advice to you is DON'T EAT WHILE YOU'RE TALKING.. It's annoying to viewers..
Most of the people in the world think they know about Africa. But in reality they only know it as how Western nation present Africa.
AFRIKAN TRUTH hope wode maya does something on african inventions and technology. check out benin sculptures
The whites only look at egypt and say "oh, africa is just a desert with some old buildings".
G June36 actually Africa is very poor in terms of money and overall has bad health facilities and high mortality rates. that is a fact
BAP's 'Wake Me Up' will leave you shookt have u ever been to one of the African nations?what the fact is is that china sends in bad goods(rice,eggs,phones, and what have they....so u should just shut up and just address ur country on how to stop killing people..i am a Nigerian and most of my the places i know is better than china...go to Nigeria and Ghana n some to African countries and see ur people there.

HAHAH Im actually black african myself (Ethiopian) been to Ethiopia many times, so I know what I am talking about. Its a fact that Africa is poor.....and pls dont embarrass yourself "most of my places I know is better than China"
Congratulation brother for representing well Africa in China
Thanks bro
👍👍👍
Dont worry brother
MR MAYA is my official african ambassador haha
Big up men!
your so friendly and possitive it must have taken you a while to become that patient
Sometimes it's just a gift from God for people to be naturally positive and send out good vibes. And yes, some people have to work at it and be patient. I fall in the latter category :-)
francois williams lol you're bashing the Chinese in every comment. You need to get a life and worry about nobody else but YOURSELF. 😂💀 smh
Kushthee Msft people say I'm patient.....I don't really know why since I feel I'm in a rush.
I'm from south Africa, Africa is beautiful, Africa as a whole
The UN must fund this brother, he is really uniting and educating the world. Funding him would really help him become a global brand for Africa.
You have a point here. Man
😂😂😂are u kidding me???The UN profits from painting Africa in a light of poverty and dire need.They must hate this brother with a passion!!
@@mjo7430 you're right, they seem not to know the role played by UN in keeping the content down.
Don't forget the same UN is the one showing videos of Africa as poor to the world
If they had the opportunity, this brother would be history... western supremacists... SMH
Ghana man thank, you have being doing good job to show the whole world that Africa is not poor....we are better than others country a cross the world,we are proud of ourselves as African,beauty, environment, weather,etc.. pride of Africa....one love, together as one.....

I love these videos because you are really teaching people that Africa isn't just what is seen in the adverts and documentaries shown on tv and the internet. Everywhere does have a bad side and a good side it's not all doom and gloom
That's true
Exactly
I live in Africa Kenya but am still amazed by Africa's beauty!!
I think people need to travel a lot,esp.to Africa and see how beautiful the continent is.Media only wants people to see the"ugly" side of Africa! Been to Tanzania, Egypt, Kenya, it's breath taking!!!
or Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt, and Akure Nigeria I lived there my whole life and I love it
I like this guy, he's so friendly and has such a positive aura, wish i had a friend like him
You can. You just need to find them. (Though it can be quite hard these days)
I too love this guy...he has a positive aura!
I like this guy, educating these Chinese people who think Africa is bad as they think, showing them the fact, it’s a really beautiful thing....
Good job bro from America 🇺🇸 but I’m an African, can’t wait to visit China 🇨🇳 and Japan 🇯🇵
Visit Today?
@@realestgee869 Probably not, but it was a year ago. No one expected the atrocities happening in the world today
I’m also an African living in America (from Somali) planning to go to China and Japan as well, tell me bro have you gone yet and how was it?
Good video! You should let them know it gets cold in some African countries, and that South Africa has very cold winters.
Traveled to South Africa before, Nikki?
Nikki Reid actually in Addis abeba it's NEVER above 30. it's always 20 degrees
yasss!..it even snows!
I traveled to Addis Adaba in December 2016. It was like 1 deg early in the morning.

I'm not talking about ALL the ethnicities

But in the West (including the Caribbean where I'm from), we usually see the negative aspects of Africa, Asia, India and the Mid East (basically any place that isn't Euro-centric) fed to us through media that has a certain agenda. This was highly refreshing, educational, and so much more balanced than mainstream media. Keep up the good work!
People in Africa think too that the entire USA is heaven on earth...please go in here on youtube and type in the search engine " Skid Row - Los Angeles". U will be shocked to see disheartening things about that very USA!
This is beautiful, as an African I really cant blame such perspectives. If you watch something long enough on media, especially on news you tend to believe it. This makes me question my own perspective of other countries because of media as a person in South Africa. Awesome job Wode Maya!!!!!!!!
We as Africans really respect you young brother wodamaya legend
What Chinese in Africa Say About Africa will Shock You

WODE MAYA You are an intelligent and inspirational brother. You should bring more fellow brothers like yourself to get the word out. ✌from America.
WODE MAYA . What's up with you Chinese people, I thought there's no water in Africa. you can tell those folks ain't believe in the most high God
Another educative piece... Great video Wode mayaaaaaaaa!!! Peace
This is a great ex of a great guy abroad who’s embracing the reality of African people and how great they r .. thanks man
GHANA BABY, I like the attitude of the group in the video. Although they appeared to be uninformed from thebeginning, later they seemed open minded and willing to accept the reality when you pointed them out, with the aid of your smart phone. You are doing a good job Bro. Keep it up. Cheers
Felix Twumasi-Addow Thanks man!!!
They are innocent and nice common folks. Love Africa from China.
My Pet True, every one can see that it was out of ignorance and documentaries they watch on tv especially from the western world, on the other hand we from the west consciously choose to portray Africa in distasteful manner! Again we have hate groups everywhere from the top to the bottom class. It makes it difficult for the innocent among us to defend the west!
bro thanks for the job you are doing in changing peoples mindsets about Africa. Really felt bad when i heard these people expressing themselves on what they thought Africa was. God bless your movement in changing the narratives
Thank you MAYA WODE for putting a profile picture of my former late President, His Excellency JOHN POMBE MAGUFULI...
IT'S A GREAT HONOUR TO US TANZANIANS. YOU MADE US PROUD AND REPRESENTED US VERY WELL, THANKS AGAIN WODE MAYA. MAY YOU TRAVEL THE WORLD AND INFORM MORE PEOPLE ABOUT OUR BEAUTIFUL CONTINENT AFRICA.
WATANZANIA TUJIDAI JAMANI.
Wode Maya, more respect to you man..wow.. you deserve all you are getting today and I wish you even better..you have put in a lot of work and just found out today you speak Mandarin..wow!
You are doing BIG things with your channel may God bless you
I love the way they are interacting...😍. Good job and keep up the good work 👍
Wow.. God bless you Bro.. For projecting the beautiful African continent. You should be appointed a tourism ambassador for Ghana.. 🙌🙌🙌🔥
Great Job educating people and advocating for Africa brother. Wode Maya for life!!!!
in fact am so satisfied with this video.... but next let take them to the next level.... by showing them some videos of African friends on the street. just to let them know it for themselves... we should make a live video for them to witness... that Africa isn't so like as and what they see on TV ... thanks
This is nice I swear....I got so emotional while watching....keep doing what u doing brah
love from Tanzania
This youngman is in touch with himself and humanity. Wonderful experiences he will have for a life time.
Wode maya i would like to see u in my country Ivory Coast in west Africa, and in DRC-Congo too.
There are nice things to discover about those 2 countries!
What is ur take bro?
And about DRC, despite the war going in the eastern part of the country for so long now, there are still many many many wonrdrous things to discover in the rest of the Country.
Recently on internet a white lady after a visit there, was talking of the beauties of sceneries in Kivu land in DRC, a "Divine place" to quote her.
And to go back to my country Ivory Coast, it is the most developped in the sub-region. Surely u already knew about Wode Maya !
Bro you doing a great job to present our continent Africa what we are and what we can do God bless you always your videos are very interesting I learn a lot from it
i have to say, at least in china, the media actually talk about africa, in its good and in its bad. here in the west, you never see any reports from africa, it's as if it didn't exist or there's nothing happening.
What would be relevant to tell about them lol and we all know you’re chinese
Fixing ignorance, one ear at a time. You are doing great work my brother and congratulations on surpassing 1 million subscribers!!!!
I love the video but u should have shown them more than 2 photos, at least like 4 to 5 it would not take more than 7mins, you can still do it as part 2 tho😂😂😂 cause many channels also do it the same way,PLEASE
Good job brother, spreading the word to the people that Africa is not just dessert, proud Nigerian.
If you are come from Africa
👍and comment
We are africa
Good job you are doing. Educating people and showing another side of Africa, well done.
Hello Wode Maya, I enjoyed watching this video! Another great video!
Good to see u in here again Bernice!
Thank you Wode Maya!
@@WODEMAYA Thank you!
Wode Maya, you are slooowly and surely winning my heart. As a person who loves travelling its interesting seeing you get the word out there about Africa. GO YOUUU BRO.
I'm so glad that you're educating them. I'm a part of the African Diaspora. I'm American by many centuries, and sadly, many of my people think of Africa like this. People need to wake up. We can't be so stupid to think of stuff like Africa is nothing but desert. It's a continent surrounded by sea like all the others. When we think were better than another group of people based on the generalizations we follow, we actually show ourselves to be stupid, in lack of logic and our own individual common sense. Stop following the media dictation.
Letter B the internet exists now their should be no excuse anymore smh
You've got me hooked. I came across your channel today and already I've looked at probably 20 or so videos. You're just right for this.
You beam rewarding to you in everyway.
Awwwwwwww thanks for the love and support!
bro good job... The. media has not helped at all. will send you some rmb for your good works
osei somuah wode maya is the channel to watch to get educated
I salute you Wode Maya all the way from South Africa you're good broe keep it up ❤👊👌🌍.
You sound really fluent. I can’t wait until I am fully conversational.
This one of the best videos I have ever watched... So natural and full of information. Seriously it has also changed my perception about ordinary Chinese😁🙏
I think that chineses in China are in contact with some of their people doing business in Africa...and God knows there numerous here in Africa . They could have on multiple occasions already said to their fellow chineses in China that Africa is not as backcward as most of those who are in China think. They could have done the job to change the mentality about Africa of their people at home to confirm Wode Maya' says!!!
But anyway...Maya is doing a superb job!!!
But anyway...
Let's see 🤔 they have been talking about how Africa isn't how they think it is for about an hour & I'm pretty sure they still believe it to be exactly as they imagined in the first place sad how closed minded people can be
You're wrong, maybe because you're used to being negative, the world is changing, people from different places will gradually change their minds by communicating, understanding each other, and we're not so closed in China, otherwise how could you get a message from a Chinese in RUclips? Believe that the world will be a better place, and then contribute your strength to it. Don't spread negative thoughts, which will only make bad people happy.
你错了，这也许因为你习惯消极，这世界正在改变，不同地方的人通过沟通，互相理解，观念会慢慢改变，我们中国也没有那么封闭，否则你怎么会收到一个中国人在youtube的留言。请你相信这世界会变得更好，然后为此贡献你自己的力量，不要传播消极的想法，那只会让坏人开心
That's great! I have watched more than 200 videos of yours man. Since I got introduced to your amazing YOU TUBE channel in 2021 I'm always yearning for you to upload a nice vlog
it's sometimes frustrating though..I'm from Africa..a third world country..and yet I know more than I'm expected to know..I still say there is no excuse for this.
I would like to say to my african people that the western world is not too, an entire "heaven"!.
I would like u in here on youtube to type in the search engine "Skid Row-Los Angeles". And u will see disheartening, disturbing, shocking videos, about that very USA side, medias don't talk too much about. most africans in their mentality think that USA is heaven on earth. U could go further and type too "Skid-Row during covid-19"
And then later too "america hoods and the violence"; " ghettos in USA"
I am MAAYAAA..... I am really loving all your videos my brother. Saying hello again from Orlando Florida I am sharing your Channel with all of my friends we love people from Ghana they are some of the nicest people in the world
Paper Money Awwwww amazing!!Thanks for the love
Hahaha the misconceptions about africa is really funny. No water, no shelter, its hot etc. God have mercy
This is so great. To sit them down and educate them like this. This is the types of conversations we need to be having with ppl outside our race and sell a different idea of Africa to them. Counteract what entities like National Geographic has sold to the world for so many years. Well done!
Me listening to this on my bed, with internet and electricity and comfortable clothes...
Not in a mud hut in fact🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂...those people should know it. I am myself watching this from my beautiful mansion in West Africa too!!!
This is an excellent and enlightening interview. The openess and willingness to share perceptions was refreshing.
Hey bro! Good job! I'm a big fan of yours.. and I really love this video but there's one thing in it that I'm not very happy with... We have such beautiful cities in the sub-saharan Africa so if it's possible next time show some of those cities instead of North Africa. After all the majority of them are not proud of our continent. They don't want to be called Africans. Thanks!
I just discovered this vlog today, it's really informative and has pretty good quality videos 🙏 keep up the good work bruh
I'm starting to notice that in every video that is positive about Africa, the same few trolls show up to try and tear it down.
Preach brother. It's good to let others know that Africa is not a shantytown or a place where u always find war, hunger etc..
I love this
For sure Africa is rich, has no dirty places, weather is not hot, no deseases, no boko haram, all people well-educated and fat (because having too much food) etc.
Just a paradise!
An interesting reaction, i feel more reactions of this kind should be done. Asians reaction to African stuff. Whites reacting to African stuff. Blacks ( various other national backgrounds) reacting to African stuff. And the vise versa of this.
Bro you really doing a good job. I give you my respect bro. Thank you
Okay I love this but it also makes me angry. The audacity to just learn about a Continent from the news. 😭😭
You can't blame them. They have media that portrays Africa on the negative.
I truly enjoy this. I had to do this to work and school many times growing up in America. And to somw this don't look like it will help educate ppl. But it do help. I've been told that because of my loving my continent and my nation Liberia, it has inspire others to love it too and want to go there to visit. Keep doing what u do my brother. I'm proud of you. #fave #episode
Yes , most of the pictures what you've shown are undoubtedly from Africa but the fact is still Africa is counted as the poorest continent in the world (economically , financially ) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_Africa but are all African countries and people are poor ? No ! There are many countries in Africa with high GDP and PPP compare to many countries in world , now having said that -Is China rich ? No ! Still China has a lot of issues and it has a long way to go as the human development index (HDI) of China is still low . Most of the people here in China know much about the rich countries (economically ) in the west but they don't know even in the west they've got poor people , homeless people . In NYC for instance there are more than 50000 homeless people www.coalitionforthehomeless.org/basic-facts-about-homelessness-new-york-city/ . When you say this to Chinese people they ain't believe it cause when they see Hollywood /European movies , all they see is skyscrapers, richass lifestyle and how economically prosperous and modern people in the west are which is not 100% true . It's hard to get a job in the west that's why people from the west are running to east ( from western countries to the eastern countries) but this is somehow isn't well understood by most of the Chinese people cause they're unaware from the rest of the world ( mostly ) .
finally an educated and unbiased comment instead throwing tantrum like 8 years old kid got his lunch money stolen
Africa is the richest and most socially free continent. It just isn't the most modern in many instances. In Africa you have the most economically democratic place in the world. Westerners like to fool the world by using words like income to define wealth.
First of all, many African nations' currencies are derivations of western currencies that exist at a fixed rate in relation to the western currency they are a derivative of. Therefore, what a European means is your average African has less purchasing power than your average westerner.
However, your average African also has more assets than your average westerner. Land ownership is far more democratized in Africa. So, even if an African person's labor and product is valued less on the international market, your average African has more purchasing power within their own society.
A great majority of Africans own the homes (outright) and land within which they live. A landlord cannot come one day and kick them out of their homes. Westerners exist in an alternative reality that is largely media, marketing and consumption driven.
Your average westerner has been misled to believe that the only way to judge the value of something is via its aesthetics. As a result, westerners think because their homes may look more polished or their cars look newer, or their clothes look newer that they actually lead higher quality lives than the average African. This couldnl't be further from the truth.
Unfortunately, Africans like the Chinese and the westerner are falling for the same media brainwashing the west consistently puts out via Hollywood. Africans real problem is systemic and it is systemic because there is a western cancer holding Africa hostage via military imperialism and threats of violence.
France is one such example of a country that strong arms African nations and bombs, invades and stages civil unrest in order to bring independent minded African leaders under their control.
Some of you blinded by your ignorance and brainwashing will instinctively reject all of what I've said. However, it won't change the truth, nor do I care actually.
China's Human Development Index is high.
francois williams Well , you can't say that . Some Chinese are ignorant for the fact that they don't know much about the world but calling them fools is pretty farcical , China is the second largest economy in the word en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal) and developing extremely fast . The lifestyle of people here in China is changing rapidly as the average household income is almost 10000-20000 USD a year which is far ahead than most of the countries . A country can't develop in this pace with fools and (no offense ) but I totally disagree with you calling Chinese fools .
+ francois williams Wasn't responding to you, but whatever you want to believe
I am West Indian Grenadian, I love your channel. technology is bringing us back together
Am i alone November 2019
All i can say is well done my Brother, for showing us in a positive light!
First my brother!
thanks for building awareness, on how beautiful AFRICA is, and making them see things differently
peace up!!
keep it up!!
STAY BLESSED!!!!
Wait till China construct a speed train from China to Africa......yes they can do itttt
Love your work Challe. You are our voice. Long life ,health and wealth for you and family. Your goals.
It's good to educate them they just didnt study geography 😂
😂😂😂
I love that not only is he speaking their language. He manges to charm them as well . I wish I had his personality
Well done, i was pretty surprised what africa had achieved so far. Africa is not that poor than i thought__
We Africans don't care what u think
Wow😮😮 the media seems to be the biggest enemy of Africa 🌍 you did the great job 👏 young man. Keep up the good work
When people talk about africa they mean sub sahara, what you showed is north africa which mostly contains arabic people.
The continent is large with many ethnicities. He could have shown them a lot more. I think he had an in by speaking their language. That's why speaking in tongues in the Bible was so important.
The second picture was from subsaharan
Wode Maya, that was one great interview and elevating content you put up there.
Well ✔ done my brother. You are definitely 👍 putting Africa on the mind of the world🌍.
Good point for speaking 👏 the language.
they have internent in china so u cnt blame them for their lack of knowledge
Most native Chinese people are brainwashed from white supremacy or just willingly ignorant to the world.
God bless you my brother
For teaching them what they need to know...
why do they agree to be filmed saying this brainless stuff? and why do they continue to talk as if they are right when they were ignorantly wrong about something? arrogance.
man what these people even said on camera was quiet okay..comment from an ordinary Chinese about Africa can make u fell like fighting
barrelrolldog I noticed the same thing! People love their own bullshit even when confronted with facts!
barrelrolldog actually I appreciate their honesty and it makes this video far more meaningful "I have come to the sinners not to the healed, for what help do they need?"
My African brother I’ve subscribed to your channel cos I love all your videos... keep repping the African continent. Much love from Texas
Thanks For Subscribing!
Africa is a continent.....when you asked them about what they think about Africa?....it's doesn't make sense coz Africa is not a country.My South African🇿🇦 life is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar different from people in Ethiopia... etc .Plz be careful coz being a viewer hearing that is poor,shortage of water...etc...thats not South Africa🇿🇦....I am a South African🇿🇦 when I have to identify myself to others.....plz be very careful.....Africa is not a country but a continent....it's like asking how is life in Asia 🤔🤔....kind of stupid🙄🙄
Nodlelo777 Butep there's water shortage in Cape Town now. So yeah....
Luv2 Splooch ......you have a low IQ....Africa is not a United States of Africa.Africa is a continent NOT a country. Be specific!....
