Nice city I plan to visit next year from America (Dallas, TX born and raised). All the content I've seen does make Namibia seem very empty compared to other countries but it is very nice looking.
The main reason why the streets of Namibia are empty is because there is not much business is done on the streets. Namibians go to shopping malls and have isolated marketplaces. is just how the country is well organized. Pedestrians are rare to find in Namibia because the transportation system is also convenient for everyone and affordable.
Welcome to my motherland. Clean country, vast spaces of land and fewer people. Enjoy your time, Africa for Africans at home and abroad. You’re home don’t worry.
I really enjoyed to see you interacting with that polite a beautiful LADY! Namibian people ,in general, are very humble, friendly and polite people. In Addition, In Angola we call it funge, but in Tchokwe , a local language, we say chima
I travel africa and realised that the reason streets are full in africa is coz municipalities allow people to trade on the streets. If those people were not allowed to be on streets they will be empty. Look at Lusaka now. If u were in Lusaka May last year and go there now u will be shocked as to what happened to CBD. THE CBD was chaotic until government decided to ban trading in CBD last year and send people to designated points. Since then Lusaka CBD is no longer congested. The hawkers dirtify cities and towns. In Namibia trade is only at designated points mainly far outside CBD.
@@sam3407Is not about that, we need clean street not dirty as I am seeing in some countries. Infact our city was the cleanest city in the whole continent, now due to politicians who probably wants to apeace the masses and compromised on the cleaners, bad spots are appearing in the city now.
🇺🇸🇺🇸 Hi Lenox J, good to see you are smiling and enjoying your traveling Adventures!! Namibia is a BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY!!!!! Maria is very kind tour guide😊 Very enjoyable Lenox J!! Much love🙏🏽❤️👍🏽
Your vlogs are perfectly done.keep creating I can see you becoming a world class content creator.As for namibia I am thinking Abt visiting..the city doesn't look like an African city..I love living in sparsely populated city not like Nairobi
Namibia population is 3,2 million in 2023. 2.6 million was last census of 2011. The latest Census was last year 2023. Windhoek has a population of 500,000 people. One thing I know is that even if Windhoek had 2 million people, the streets will still be empty coz Namibians dnt do trade on the streets. The streets in Namibia towns are only full Monthend. Infact if u arrive in Namibia Monthend, u will not believe its the same place that was empty. After month end they withdraw from CBD. Its also full from 4h30 pm Monday - Friday when people are knocking off from work.
The city is not necessarily empty, but people generally do not walk. They either drive or take taxis. Most areas aren't flat and walking uphill isnt an easy feat. That's why there's a car passing almost every 3 seconds. Thats the substitute for pedestrians.
Sima also.means ugali , Nakula sima na mboga commonly used at coastal cities of Kenya, upcountry they tend use the word ugali while Nairobi wasee usema Sembe ama Ugali "
@ but then why go to other countries to simply complain about the difference from what you’re accustomed to, are we supposed to live life in an identical way? Didn’t he learned about intercultural at the university? We don’t loom the streets unnecessarily over here because we have got homes and offices to keep ourselves busy.
What do you mean residential areas with no people? People are there inside their homes and business places, is only that Namibians don't walk in the streets that much. Most people own cars, especially in cities and towns.

Hi dude! I am Sebastião of Angolan nationality, my dream is to live in Namibia, especially to learn to speak English fluently and I am looking for someone to help emigrate there. Can you help me?
This is interesting. How did all these Bantus end up with similar sounding names for ugali? The fact that maize reached Africa in the 16th century when the modes of travel and communication were limited, that's a very long distance to travel by foot. Maybe it was a staple of common Bantu ancestors, and maize replaced an ancient grain or cassava. Namibia: Oshifima South Africa: Nsima Malawi: Nsima Zambia: Nshima, Nsimam, shishima Kenya: Sima, Ngima, Obusima, Obokima Uganda: Busima Congo: Nsima Mozambique: Xima
Speaking for Aawambo in Namibia and Angola, Oshithima is mainly made from pearl millet. Maize was just introduced about 100 years ago. And it's not really popular. We have always used pearl millet.
@@israelkisaila8401I am comparing ancient bantu names. The name “Posho” is of recent origins, probably a Swahilized name for “Portion,” referring to a ration of food given to workers during colonial times.
@@M_KK Yes, millet and sorghum were probably the original grains used for making the dish but when maize entered the scene, it quickly gained popularity due to its widespread availability and affordability. The ingredient changed, but the meal remained the same. It must have been a revered food, judging by how the name stuck. Perhaps the original name the Bantu progenitors used was something grand like “Obosimamah” meaning the meal that makes you stand firm against the challenges of the gods. 😄Or it could just be a humble name meaning “pounded” due to how it was prepared. In Kenya, the millet variation is still available, although its less common. It's prized for its nutritive value despite being more challenging to cook due to its sticky nature.
Namibia should be the new Pan African country for all blacks world wide. Namibia infrastruture is just like South africa. Electricity is good , water etc. Their currecny is strong also. We need to reach out to our Namibians brothas and sisters and ask them. Nigerians, Jamiacans, Black americans, Uk Blacks, Brazilians, Trinidads, Puerto Ricans, dominicans, Somalians, ghanians, belize, South american and central american blacks. We can do this and bring more business and skills, healthcare industry nurses doctors, surgeons, auto mechanic shops, transit system, service jobs, paramedics fire fighters, barber/hair salons, caribbean /nigerina/ethopian/black amereican restaurants etc. a International black wall street i see forming here soon.

Ooh I get it now
No traffic jam, Namibia is so beautiful I need to visit there
Traffic is only in the morning and at 5pm
Yes, it is amazing to see empty streets unlike the other cities you have visited in the past, Namibia is beautiful so is your guide.Enjoy, Cheers!
So cool to see Namibia... I hope one day i will be able to visit the country... Great video Lenox

Street vending has messed up many African cities & caused many people to die from cholera in many places
It's changing drastically, soon Windhoek will also be dirty. This is due to the useless councilors we have currently

Windhoek is very clean 👌
Say that again...
It really is!
Clean with no people

Why rarely if ever scooters and motorcycles ?
Rarely bicycles , pedal power or electric ones ?
I dint spot any within the town
I was there July ‘23
It was mobbed - super busy
That’s when 🇬🇧 and Europe travel to Europe
Go then- you’ll see the massive difference 😊
Good to see you alive safe stay
Thank you

Dnt expect to meet people in town at that time of the day
Maria she is so talkative I like her
Enjoy your stay Lenox.
Thank you, I will
If you are still in the country try to visit the coastal cities, Walvis Bay and Swakopmund, you will like it.
Yes headed there
She is very right that a lot of people own cars and pedestrians are very few in Namibia.
In Windhoek you will 6 cars in a house of 2 people.
but in Namibia poor get poorer and rich get richer
@@pendypaul3366I am sure someone will differ with this narrative, it all depends to wh you are speaking though.
Nice one bro. Keep it up.
Thanks ✌️
Hello Lenox. You went mute after arriving in Namibia? Enjoy the country and I see it’s very clean.

It's still empty
It doesn't matter really, in some countries that's a population of a small town.
good content
Thank you😎
Our country is organized that’s why you barely find people working around and just selling their things everywhere
I agree. I will be back so soon🤗🙏

lol @car passing every 3 seconds... most cities are virtually a large parking lot day and night. No traffic jam in a city is beyond heaven!

Sima also.means ugali , Nakula sima na mboga commonly used at coastal cities of Kenya, upcountry they tend use the word ugali while Nairobi wasee usema Sembe ama Ugali "
Is getting job easy in namibia as a foreigner
Im not sure about that
Ugali is oshithima in Namibia ,I think Tanzania Swahili is thima, us Wambo Namibians originated from Tanzania according to ethinology.
You keep saying no people on the street, what exactly are we supposed to be on the street for?
Just good vibes😂
@@lenoxjunior we are having good vibes in our homes or offices, not on the streets
@@JoanaNdeshy 😂 I get you🙏
