Great video but I disagree with one thing: 17:28 - all Eastern and southern African countries highly value their local languages. Swahili is most spoken by Easterners and some in northern Mozambique, whilst in South Africa you have 11 official languages (including English). In Namibia, English is the official language but most people speak their state-recognised national languages as lingua franca between communities. In Botswana you speak Setswana and parts of SA and Zimbabwe.
@MidnightTheOne Except for Swahili in East Africa, Zulu in South Africa, Setswana in the Swanaland area, and Kinyarwanda, most southern and eastern African languages are rapidly going extinct. In Namibia, most early millenials cannot effectively communicate in their local tongues. I have been to all of these countries. Angola's situation is likely the worst in Africa, with the people who make up the south-south geopolitical zone of Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, and others following closely behind. Even in Kenya and Tanzania, many who speak Swahili lack proficiency in their various languages. Swahili has driven many local tongues to extinction as it surges as the lingua franca.
Also at least in my school in luanda I have a choice to learn a national language I tried to but it's too hard, also in our portuguese we have some words of some of our native languages(But I think that it's an informal portuguese)
I usually don't comment but I will leave it here😅. I don't think people understand the impact of Portugueses in Angola, as you said wolof is untouched language meanwhile in Luanda not far ago people couldn't speak, or dress like African the assimilation was a real thing to the point our grandparents thought it would last forever, that's why they shaped us to integrate into the system by the way we dress, the way we speak etc because they wanted to give us a better life. Also, Senegal is not that mixed as Angola that's why they were able to maintain their blackness. Kaluanda just like to be well presented 😅 doesn't matter the social level I guess it is the consequences of colonialism, we got a lot outsiders calling us "Negropeans" to some extent nor that I agree with that, colonialism or white supremacy but it helps us to integrate in the west with respectful approach while others struggle a lot. I agree Senegalese are humble but unfortunately, many struggles a lot in the west. Note: the new Luanda Portuguese is a kind of urban style/slang, I disagree that Brazil and Portugal don't understand us, in fact it is much easier a Brazilian to understand an Angolan than a Portuguese.
Looks like you are very proud to be called negropeans?With all portugueses did in angola,which angolan in his/her right mind would want to be associated with these very murderous people?Angola is a cultural disaster and a lot of it is due to the ruling political elite which colonised to the core.It is a disgrace to have so many people walking about with very weird portuguese names .Thankfully ,luanda aint the whole angola.Bambundu and bakongo are trying very hard to bring back africaness.
@@BantuCityDiaries I would say that more than 90% of bakongo people in angola or luanda speak an african either kikongo or lingala.If you go to a place like palanca,everybody speaks lingala coz many angolans were born in Congo.Then again bakongo of angola and congoleses are just the same people.Check the video of kinkole market in luanda titled ^ECHOS RDC 2022 NA ANGOLA : T0LANDA NDENGE BA CONGOLAIS BAZALI KO SURVIVRE NA ZANDO YA KIKOLO^
@benbewa Very informative! I'm on the "Echos RDC" on RUclips "ruclips.net/video/W8KcrMuy9XY/видео.html", they spoke mainly in Lingala with some French introduction, I could barely understand. Are these Angolans?
@@BantuCityDiaries It is a mix of congoleses and angolans of bakongo ethnicity,but it is difficult to know who is who coz they all speak lingala and look pretty much the same.Bakongo of angola and congoleses are the same people separated by artificial colonial frontiers .
What you've shown isn't even 10% of Luanda. Luanda is very big. Poverty is due to the fact that 2/3 of Luanda's population emigrated to Luanda and around 8 million Congolese disguised as Angolans...
@carlsbond103 The city of Luanda is very small and congested place; it isn't that huge. However, the Congolese claim is quite amusing, but I appreciate your input.
@NkosiMunjiZulu Kilamba City was a fantastic idea. I remember when this was in the news a long time ago, I thought, wow! Angola has done well. However, I've reviewed some videos and found that Kilamba lacks adequate maintenance. Still, Kilamba was and remains a great idea. The next time I come to Luanda, I will definitely visit.
@@BantuCityDiaries There are many urbanized places like kilamba in Luanda such as: Centrality Vila Pacifica, Zango 8000 , Centrality of the Sequel , KK5000, Rose Garden, city of Talatona etc... you can search for these places on google maps or youtube
One fact is Dakar has no slums but in Luanda massive ones with an extreme poverty you don't see in Dakar! But we all know that Angola is richer and way bigger country
As an angolan, i can just say that you are not far from the truth about your comments of Angola, the only thing i can not agree was one picture shown that does not belong to Angola😂, the vrest, unfortunately or no is true.
Bro can you just leave Lagos alone!!!! 😅
By God 🙏 power I will visit Dakar
Nice video
Thanks
love to Senegal, from Luanda

Thank you for a wonderful comment. I have learned and will
Incorporate in my future videos. You made a lot of sense.

I love dakar, Luanda, Abidjan and malabo. I love africa
Luanda has a blend of picturesque skyscrapers and colossal shanty towns
That's where Dakar come on top. It has less poverty and shanty towns.
Being Muslim is not any African tradition but Asian Arabic why are you comparing that Angolan is loosing it’s African heritage
I can't remember implying that being Muslim was African.

❤😉
Escravos ❌
Africanos raptados ✅
I note that despite things are expensive in Dakar 2 or 3 times than Luanda, there are many poor in Luanda than Dakar
Absolutely correct!
@@BantuCityDiaries thank you
@@BantuCityDiariesbro visit kilamba in Angola

Spot on!
You are right , the consequences of the slum is the 27 years of war.

Thanks for stopping! Sometimes, whilst narrating, some clips/images can overlap. 🙏🏿
Both cities are similar : colonial design, fast growing cities, many infrastructures
All cities in Africa is the same shit
Cape Town, Sandton, Parkhurst, and a few other white-controlled South African cities stand out.
