  • Blacks in Fiji can trace their roots for thousands of years back to the Lake Tanganyika area in East Africa.
    Lake Tanganyika is an African Great Lake. It is the second-oldest freshwater lake in the world, the second-largest by volume, and the second-deepest, in all cases after Lake Baikal in Siberia. It is the world's longest freshwater lake. The lake is shared between four countries-Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Burundi, and Zambia, with Tanzania (46%) and DRC (40%) possessing the majority of the lake. It drains into the Congo River system and ultimately into the Atlantic Ocean.

      Fijians definitely originated from Africa, but they Pacific Island people 🏝 alot of people in the pacific are mixed between Black, Asian and European, But not 99% are melanated I'd say about 40% Melanesian, 40%Polynesian and 20% Micronesian.

      I might add a little scientific info because of the times that we live in. A certain percentage of the population carry a gene not found in the general African population. The gene originated from Netherlands man- a cousin you might say to homo sapiens. This gene makes you more susceptible to serious illnesses from the virus that has been around the last two years.

    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.

      Every African can not only do AEIOU but can pronounce very Japanese word with almost as good local accent regardless of if they know the meaning or not because the language has same grammar rules as many Bantu languages while at it there is a meeting place in Africa with Asia its called Madagascar where half the people have A LANGUAGE SIMILAR to that of the Malaysia/ Philippines mixed with Bantu language DNA also same as some of the coast of Mozambique right up to the islands in Asia and this was done through ancient travels of ALL people not by slavery.

    Get the Facts straight . There's nothing supporting they came from Tanganyika or Tanzania . Indigenous Fijians are believed to have arrived in Fiji from western Melanesia approximately 3,500 years ago, though the exact origins of the Fijian people are unknown. Later they would move onward to other surrounding islands, including Rotuma, as well as blending with other (Polynesian) settlers on Tonga and Samoa. Today and in future they will be embracing Islam as their religion & they will be all Muslims soon.

      If you truly know your Koran then you should know that Mouhammed wont be coming back to save you but Jesus, If you truly follow all the verses in the Koran, then follow this ... look in the book of Surah and read it all. Theres a verse there which clearly says, if you're confused about the so called holy koran , go then and ask the people of the book or bible because that is where the koran was mis interpreted from to suit Mohammed's filthy habits because he changed it and forced mostly the poor to follow it by force. So if Mohammed's dead and gone and not coming back , why waste your time on him. Seek the people of the book where I belong and Iam advising you to follow Jesus now who had promised to return one day to save his people or miss the band wagon and end up in hell where Mouhammed is right now as we speak.. I am from the people of the book which the koran has authorized you lot to follow. Do it or realise and know your destiny from today onwards,Peace.

    And, lived in constant fear of ending up in the LOVO (oven).
