No, they are not. That one that was interviewed was a FAKE Ivorian and amigrant from an Anglophone African country such as Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia, Sierra Leone, etc. The one that was weaving a fabric was struggling to speak English. The Anglophones are coveting again counties with booming economies such as Côte d'Ivoire as an English-speaking country to prove the saying that all countries colonized by Britain became prosperous when they became independent which is very wrong 🤪😝🤣😁🤭
The RUclipsrs on the African continent are doing really good job showcasing the beautiful parts of Africa on the South Sahara side. This, the CNN and BBC don't show the world, they choose to always showing villages or undeveloped areas. Great job guys, Bravo!🤓👍

You guys are coping. Western documentaries and youtubers show everything, from the rich and developped sites to the lesser ones. Stop thinking we want your bad. It is just resentment.

yeah, but you have to acknowledge that this perspective was hard leaning on the priviledged upper class. The same way people outside of the U.S. might not know how terrible conditions are in places like indian reservations or in regions like west virginia. It is nice to see prosperity but it is valuable to allows be cautious of falling under the influence of propaganda (good or bad).
I'd say the problem is not western media shows a "false" Africa, but little Africa anyway. News is crisis. Crisis is war, terrorism, famine. Of course that is shown first, maybe giving some people wrong impressions. But hey, who in Europe should think people in Africa were overall living in mud houses? Ignorants do, not others. Thats not a point of media, but of education and intelligence.... On the other hand: Africa is diverse. Isn't some criticism about neo-colonial perspectives that people speak only of Africa like it was one country, while there are over 50 of them? So we also should not state things like "Africa in western news". And finally: progress is not just a matter of technology or infrastructure, but of social infrastructure, good governance, accountable and without corruption, free media, democracy and human rights. >Things not visible in videos.

Some nigerians think that Lagos is the most developped city in West Africa even in Africa but I think they mistaken most developped city with most populous city. Lagos is the most populous city but cities such as Abidjan, Nairobi, Luanda, Dar Es Salaam, and of course the south african biggest cities are more developped than Lagos.
@@fesderi3933 from what I see Lagos is not even more developped than Dakar, there is lot of area in Lagos where they didnt have full time access to electricity. Road are way better in Abidjan than Lagos. There is lot of reasons why Abidjan is way more attractive than Lagos I could mentionned some of them Abidjan is safer, cleaner, well organised,with better urbanism than Lagos.
True av learnt that too, they are a lot of nice capital cities in Africa that are low key and not announcing the beauty of their cities too. Talk of Cairo Egypt,Tunis etc..personally av found Lagos to be too populated with poor sanitation and electricity too is a problem. My dear Nigerian people at times learn to appreciate the beauty of other people's cities without comparisons with your own. Sending love and light💕
Am Nigerian and even I don't think Lagos is the most developed in West Africa, Lagos is good for business that's for sure but living in Lagos I would rather be in Abuja, Abidjan is amazing. Love it
The Ivory Coast story must be told everywhere. For a country that suffered civil war for years to come this far in infrastructure development is massively crazy and impressive. Even as a Ghanaian i say Abidjan is the most developed city in W/A and one of the well organized in Africa. I see my Nigerian friends in the comment section dont agree to this but hey, facts are facts. If you have been to Abidjan you would be amazed at their development. Long live Ivory Coast.
I stayed in Abidjan for 2 days during the Afcon 2024 the country is beautiful and i will call it a smart city and tech focused.. will lovely visit Abidjan and go other places in Ivory Coast very soon this year again.. the people too are welcoming and great reception... I love Ivory Coast ❤
at 3:45 - this was a teaching moment and i am HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED AS AN IVORIAN YOU COULDNT TAKE TIME TO EXPLAIN THE RELATION BETWEEN GHANA AND IVORY COAST AND THE REASON FOR THE SIMILARITIES IN FOOD, LANGUAGE, CUSTOMS AND CULTURE. IT IS BECAUSE WE ARE BLOOD SIBLINGS SEPARATED DUE TO CIRUMSTANCE DURING COLONIZATION The main peoples of the Ivory Coast are the Akan people (the largest ethnic group - exactly like in ghana), the Mandé people, and the Gur people. There are, however, many other ethnic groups present in the country The AKANS OF IVORY COAST migrated westward from Ghana when the Asante rose to power. This tale of their breakaway is preserved in their oral traditions. During the ghana Asante rise to power, the Baule queen, Aura Poku, was competing directly with the Asante king. When she lost, she led some akans away from Ghana and to the Central Ivory Coast. Aura Poku's descendant occupies the throne and palace she built, and is honored by the Baule as their nominal king.The Baoule are a part of the Akan people who inhabit Ivory Coast and Ghana.
Every country has such 'bloopers'. 'Show-off's of rulers. But the builders were proud of their achievements and the people who gave the money through taxes, can be proud too. So.. attend church as many times ws possible. Do not think of the ruler, but of your religion. Think of all the people together celebrating their holy days.
Cote d'ivoire is ahead of my country Ghana interms of developments and we were the first to gain independent from Europeans. But I can understand now that all of that mean nothing, may God bless Nanan Philip Houphoet Boigny. May his soul Rest In Perfectly Peace.🙏❤
I'm from a 3rd world country, and it makes me so pleased to see other nations that have had all sorts of challenges rise and make progress and lift themselves. It gives us hope. Congratulations and best wishes from Pakistan.
As an African (Black) American who is a Devout Pan-Africanist. I must admit I'm now thinking 🤔 about visiting Ivory Coast..... I just Love ❤️ Africa 🌍 so much.....and the righteous of Africa 🌍. I LOVE ❤️ BLAKK PEOPLE!!!! Big Respect! "The United Kingdoms of Africa 🌍."
I was born and raised In the Ivory Coast 🇨🇮. I live in California now but I go back home every year with my family . Hit me up when you are ready to go visit :) . Take care brother
Ghanaian here, who lived in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire for 10 years.... Have very fond memories of my time there and still have many friends there. Their first president, Felix Houphouet Boigny, laid the foundation for their development. Due to his longevity in power ie 30 years +, he oversaw a lot of the development before his death and laid the blue print for future development. (That's what Kwame Nkrumah would have done for Ghana if he had the same amount of time in power! ) Abidjan is a beautiful and well planned city. Amazing Place....and the food is yummy too! PS : The Akans (Baoule people) in ivory coast share similar culture to Akans in Ghana
@@fesderi3933 Yep, same people.... The cololonial borders divided us arbitrarily. That's why we must operate as though those colonial borders don't exist.
@@africanmindsetseries Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo and Burkina Faso are like the Scandinavian countries of West Africa. They share alot togheter in terms of languages, ethnic groups, cultures and civilizations.
it feels my heart with joy to see ivory coast thriving! Ivory coast was already a success in the 80s then had to give through a more difficult time, now it is back on track to express the full potential of the country and its people. Bravo aux ivoiriens !
The reason there are similarities between Ivory Coast and Ghana is because about 250 years ago there was a chieftaincy power struggle in the Asante Kingdom and one of the chief's nieces, Abla Pokua, broke away with a group of people who went and settled in modern day Ivory Coast- they still speak Asante/Twi and retain Asante customs.
Now this is development , wide roads , organised traffic , clean and neat surroundings . Good civic sense and excellent monuments and public infrastructure. As an Indian I wish if all parts of my country maintains standards like this rather than just some parts looking over-developed . I am completely impressed.

All civil wars, problems, corrupt rulers, gangs, poverty and backwardness are planned and protected by Europe ande west
Now China and Russia have taken advantage of the situation as well
Africa deserves more than that
African people are oppressed and do not deserve this

Abolish the English Language instead in all Anglophone countries instead because they speak BROKEN English despite many years of studying English even in South Africa 🤪😝🤣😁🤭
@@adamandsteve13you can chose own African langauges while at it Switzerland and Belgium all have 2 or more languages and each of them have two large cities with defferent different langauges France has two langauges and developed. Development is building roads and buildings and factories.
As an Ivorian, I have to say you did a great job!! Visit More Francophone countries pls
From France 🇨🇵 : Merci de valoriser mon pays la Côte d'Ivoire 🇨🇮 😍🥰❤️🩹
Ivory Coast, land of cocoa, Drogba, Champions and inspiration... ❤❤❤
i'm definitely coming 19:18
The success of Ivory Coast makes this Latino American happy!
Latinos are europeans of Iberian and Mediterranean origin we are not european we are natives to america at least those with blood tie to the land, but as far as africa hope they develop the right way because if you dont develop properly if you go to fast destroying nature you will have massive enviromental issues like in some countries in the americas
@@RM360CR that’s why this person said latin american…. people from the americas with latin ancestry…
@@RM360CR Well it depends not all Latin Americans are the same some have more African roots and some are more European. It's a really mixed group of people
@@Henry-bx2eeman Shut up.
@@RM360CR😂😂😂😂😂
Am Rwandan 🇷🇼 and proud of Ivory Coast
Some nigerians think that Lagos is the most developped city in West Africa even in Africa but I think they mistaken most developped city with most populous city. Lagos is the most populous city but cities such as Abidjan, Nairobi, Luanda, Dar Es Salaam, and of course the south african biggest cities are more developped than Lagos.
Lagos is the most develop city in west Africa,Lagos is a state , from economy to land areas covered Lagos is way ahead of any west African city
@@fesderi3933 from what I see Lagos is not even more developped than Dakar, there is lot of area in Lagos where they didnt have full time access to electricity. Road are way better in Abidjan than Lagos. There is lot of reasons why Abidjan is way more attractive than Lagos I could mentionned some of them Abidjan is safer, cleaner, well organised,with better urbanism than Lagos.
True av learnt that too, they are a lot of nice capital cities in Africa that are low key and not announcing the beauty of their cities too. Talk of Cairo Egypt,Tunis etc..personally av found Lagos to be too populated with poor sanitation and electricity too is a problem. My dear Nigerian people at times learn to appreciate the beauty of other people's cities without comparisons with your own. Sending love and light💕
Am Nigerian and even I don't think Lagos is the most developed in West Africa, Lagos is good for business that's for sure but living in Lagos I would rather be in Abuja, Abidjan is amazing. Love it
Lagos, Nigeria in general, has a lot of potential. What it needs is great leadership
wow! Hope someday i can visit the Ivory Coast🙂
from Philippines
This is sincerely a great country... they deserved to win our cup 😂
Thanks to you Steve we are travelling the world while sitting at home ❤❤
Thank you for this video Mr Ndukwu... looking forward to visiting Côte d'Ivoire
Love from Ghana... Africa is the future, can't wait to visit.
The Ivory Coast story must be told everywhere. For a country that suffered civil war for years to come this far in infrastructure development is massively crazy and impressive. Even as a Ghanaian i say Abidjan is the most developed city in W/A and one of the well organized in Africa. I see my Nigerian friends in the comment section dont agree to this but hey, facts are facts. If you have been to Abidjan you would be amazed at their development. Long live Ivory Coast.
Thank u so much ! 🇨🇮❤️🇬🇭
Good job ❤❤❤ i m an ivorian happy to see what u r doing promotin African country 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hope you subscribed
Hey 😊
I stayed in Abidjan for 2 days during the Afcon 2024 the country is beautiful and i will call it a smart city and tech focused.. will lovely visit Abidjan and go other places in Ivory Coast very soon this year again.. the people too are welcoming and great reception... I love Ivory Coast ❤
So proud to be Ivorian 🇨🇮✨ Thank you for this video !
Love the Ivory Coast so much! I have travelled the entire country. It’s beautiful and the people are magnificent.
You really inspire me to pick up my camera again and travel Africa. Love your content bro keep 'em coming.
Ive added Ivory Coast to my travel list.
at 3:45 - this was a teaching moment and i am HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED AS AN IVORIAN YOU COULDNT TAKE TIME TO EXPLAIN THE RELATION BETWEEN GHANA AND IVORY COAST AND THE REASON FOR THE SIMILARITIES IN FOOD, LANGUAGE, CUSTOMS AND CULTURE. IT IS BECAUSE WE ARE BLOOD SIBLINGS SEPARATED DUE TO CIRUMSTANCE DURING COLONIZATION
The main peoples of the Ivory Coast are the Akan people (the largest ethnic group - exactly like in ghana), the Mandé people, and the Gur people. There are, however, many other ethnic groups present in the country
The AKANS OF IVORY COAST migrated westward from Ghana when the Asante rose to power. This tale of their breakaway is preserved in their oral traditions. During the ghana Asante rise to power, the Baule queen, Aura Poku, was competing directly with the Asante king. When she lost, she led some akans away from Ghana and to the Central Ivory Coast. Aura Poku's descendant occupies the throne and palace she built, and is honored by the Baule as their nominal king.The Baoule are a part of the Akan people who inhabit Ivory Coast and Ghana.
❤
Well said, Ohemaa
But my french is not well-preserved.
Every country has such 'bloopers'. 'Show-off's of rulers. But the builders were proud of their achievements and the people who gave the money through taxes, can be proud too. So.. attend church as many times ws possible. Do not think of the ruler, but of your religion. Think of all the people together celebrating their holy days.
I fell happy when I see my Africa country develop much love from 🇪🇹🇪🇹
Africa is so beautiful!
Thanks Steven! I can't wait, Ivory Coast is now on my bucket list.
Fascinating film, thank you for showing us around Côte d’Ivoire! Beautiful country, wonderful people! Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪
Thank you very much!
Cote d'ivoire is ahead of my country Ghana interms of developments and we were the first to gain independent from Europeans. But I can understand now that all of that mean nothing, may God bless Nanan Philip Houphoet Boigny. May his soul Rest In Perfectly Peace.🙏❤
Our leaders are our biggest problem.they don't have the desire to develop the country.all they think about is to come to power to chop
It's not ahead of Ghana, stop propagating falsehood..the cities are designed differently. A Typical Ghanaian behaviour
@@marcq2029It 's ahead Ghana in anythings
I'm from a 3rd world country, and it makes me so pleased to see other nations that have had all sorts of challenges rise and make progress and lift themselves. It gives us hope. Congratulations and best wishes from Pakistan.
Ivory Coast is the best country in africa!!! from Rwanda!!

I like it when I see beautiful things about Africa.
❤️ Love West Africa from rainy Glasgow 🏴 lovely people and yummy food 🤤
As an African (Black) American who is a Devout Pan-Africanist. I must admit I'm now thinking 🤔 about visiting Ivory Coast..... I just Love ❤️ Africa 🌍 so much.....and the righteous of Africa 🌍. I LOVE ❤️ BLAKK PEOPLE!!!! Big Respect! "The United Kingdoms of Africa 🌍."
I was born and raised In the Ivory Coast 🇨🇮. I live in California now but I go back home every year with my family . Hit me up when you are ready to go visit :) . Take care brother
Ghanaian here, who lived in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire for 10 years.... Have very fond memories of my time there and still have many friends there.
Their first president, Felix Houphouet Boigny, laid the foundation for their development. Due to his longevity in power ie 30 years +, he oversaw a lot of the development before his death and laid the blue print for future development. (That's what Kwame Nkrumah would have done for Ghana if he had the same amount of time in power! )
Abidjan is a beautiful and well planned city. Amazing
Place....and the food is yummy too!
PS : The Akans (Baoule people) in ivory coast share similar culture to Akans in Ghana
What about the ewe in Togo and the ewe in Ghana
@@fesderi3933 Yep, same people.... The cololonial borders divided us arbitrarily. That's why we must operate as though those colonial borders don't exist.
I love ghanaians
Cool but where’s the middle/normal class 😐
@@africanmindsetseries Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo and Burkina Faso are like the Scandinavian countries of West Africa. They share alot togheter in terms of languages, ethnic groups, cultures and civilizations.
it feels my heart with joy to see ivory coast thriving! Ivory coast was already a success in the 80s then had to give through a more difficult time, now it is back on track to express the full potential of the country and its people. Bravo aux ivoiriens !
Africa must develop a lot because they have everything. Beautiful and optimistic video
The reason there are similarities between Ivory Coast and Ghana is because about 250 years ago there was a chieftaincy power struggle in the Asante Kingdom and one of the chief's nieces, Abla Pokua, broke away with a group of people who went and settled in modern day Ivory Coast- they still speak Asante/Twi and retain Asante customs.
You are the best in African individual documentary. This is world class.
Even our filipino fencing athlete choose to became a Naturalized Ivorian.so i wonder Ivory Coast must be wonderful to live in..
Such a stunning country, thank you for sharing!
Now this is development , wide roads , organised traffic , clean and neat surroundings . Good civic sense and excellent monuments and public infrastructure.
As an Indian I wish if all parts of my country maintains standards like this rather than just some parts looking over-developed . I am completely impressed.
They have reallly world class road networks that i must say
Happy for ya brothers, Africa is on making❤ I’m Ethiopian.
