As an Indian I really want Africa to develop. Glory to Africa
I hope our leaders can think like Palki instead of worrying about their pockets.
@@ibizawavey8630 we vote for these leaders, stop complaining and figure out how to end that problem in whatever country you're from bro
@@itsTheTruthTellerI can tell you that we didn't vote most of them in, especially Nigeria. Those guys rigged their way to power
@@itsTheTruthTeller
Africa can only develop if investor see potential for their return in Africa. Good luck Africa
Me too as an Black American
✊🏾🟥⬛️🟩
As an Indian-African this makes me happy ❤
Same❤
Let's go Africa! Develop your nation and hope you people excel at it ❤❤❤❤❤
Africa is a continent, not a nation bro but thanks for the love. We will only go as far as our power hungry, corrupt leaders take it. Only god can save us.
@@ibizawavey8630 no not god, it's 2023 that sh*t is not helpful anymore. If god existed the world and especially our continent wouldn't be fu¢ked up. Instead of complaining about leadership why don't we become the leaders we want to see that bring real change? Attitudes like yours are what keep all our countries down, you don't want to put in the work you're always waiting for someone to come rescue you.... It's pathetic bro, man up!
@@ibizawavey8630god help those who help themselves bro, join politics, then gradually rise in power take control and then take it forward, it is upto you and other african people
@@Yourbrother05reality doesn't go like that
@@Amoghavarsha. I was not suggesting this literally bro😆, But I get it
Im from kenya and im a fan of Firstspot by Palki Sharma ...my favorite journalist
Hiiiii fam
We 🇰🇪 should reject going to work in Israel and rethink our future plans .
Big population without a roadmap will ignite tribal and class wars.
Mambo vipi? Palki is great at what she does
Me too 🇰🇪 🇰🇪
pia wewe unampenda
Powerful message for Africa ❤
As An Indian I will be Happy to See them Doing Progress
as an Indian you should lobby your government to extradite the Gupta brothers for large scale corruption , money laundering and blatant racist attitudes towards Black employees.
We love u indians
We also love you India. You are great.
Yes! Africa is the cradle of civilization. India and Africa would grow together as friends 🧡 ❤
agreed
I've heard views , interviews of some of the African diplomats. Their knowledge about geopolitics & social issues was absolutely top class that will put any seasoned international politician to shame... Go Africa,, all the best from India..
The biggest asset for Africa is youth followed by natural resources. We are going to be the largest workforce anywhere in the world 🌎
Yes but the main thing is thag political and social stability without it youths will be misguided. Like now African youths are migrating to Europe and America illegally.
Yes workforce are needed but at the time of AI and Automation many things human can be compensated..
And Africa is facing a huge unemployment.
Most of the African countries are still plaguing with civil war, sectarian violence, corruption, economic mismanagement etc.
The problem is politics
Lies, with 54 countries in Afrika only 2 have civil wars. And not all the youths are migrating to Europe and America
@@JO-uf3mq many more going not 2 and there are ethnic religious violence.. Islamist terrorism
As Indian when I read what crimes has been committed against African people , I cry . I hope African countries forget their differences and come together for common goal and Develope like European Union . Glory to Africa .
The same crime was committed on Indian people by the British
As Indian ye likhna zaruri he kya. Har indian ese hi comment kar rha he
Thanks, we love to see the development India is achieving and am sure the future is bright too for India, congratulations for going to the moon recently.
What happened to Indians i SA?
You mean, develop 'better.'
I think it's already happening. Just a few years ago I was unhappy that the African media space was only filled with pranks and dances. But for some time I've been seeing a lot more involved in politics and other spheres.
I really predict those who've exploited and dehumanized Black people and Africa will have a lot of questions to answer in the near future. The grounds from what I see are shaking in Africa, it is gradual but fast.
Working with China, yes. Avoid the West, it's self destructing
Very well said. As a Black Indian, I can relate to those people. The Western mindset has influenced India negatively.
Our children are coming!
@@computer_mastery_tech_wisdom how you are black indian?
@@arunsarrati2606 he might be a Dravidian, couldn't explain his ethnicity
The love Indians have for Africa is massive 😊 ❤❤❤ thanks, my India's people ❤️
Talking of Africa, our problems have always been leadership and religion but it won’t be forever because change is constant and it’s coming, we will take back our continent our way of life our traditions our names our resources and our freedom. We were here at the beginning before the invaders came and we are still here and will remain here after they’ve all disappeared and gone because we’re the original and authentic ones. We never die but keep on multiplying. Africa is the past present and the future. Mama Africa we hail thee !!!!
❤
What country are you from that is still colonized, without freedom and without your own names in 2023?!😂 Stop making us sound like we're in hell when we aren't
They need to put stop on arab invaders and their religion.. African need to preserve their culture and progress instead of following stone age extremist religion
That's just some pure hatred and arrogance.
Past is Past u can't change them now but what u can do now is to take advantage and get FDI, Technology etc. And stabilize your society.
Not necessarily things will always change in positive way like many countries which went from good to bad and worst. Lebanon, Iran, Afghanistan even somewhat Pakistan was doing good previously but religious fundamentalism destroyed them even turkey is struggling nowadays
That's the point. Africa needs to claim it's original native identity, culture, way of life in parallel with economic development. Africans were nature worshipers and always knew how to co exist with nature instead of exploiting it to the level of extinction. Only then the economic development and prosperity will be lasting unlike today's west.
I am Nigerian, 23 old computer and communication engineering student in a university. Like she said our future is different from our parents: means brighter.
Just curious, how deep is Islamic mindset there?!
Demographic dividend will become nightmare with radicals. Just check Pakistan..
Wish you good luck to you and Nigeria!
you guys need to understand that islam is a religion not a culture, a Muslim in Pakistan won't behave the same way a Muslim in nigeria will behave, while the islamic mindset you are talking about is in the north of nigeria, and that is solely because of lack of education, and i do believe that within time they will catch up whether they like it or not.
@@kuyebaseet6846 dude! Islam is not religion, it is a political submission tool works over a long period of time!
People smoke because they can only see the effect after many years! Similarly you will see the effect after 500 to 700 year period!
Afghanistan has got 20% Islamist with guns and see good people are being ruled over by barbarians!
Similar fate awaits you, 20% radicals with gun is enough to nullify the effect of good 80%!
May Allah SWT bless your country and save it!
Last year, I was working full time, budgeting groceries, unable to afford date nights, and missing time with my kids. Now I learned how to make money online. Now am a SAHM, homeschooling, and making profits every week.
Who is your financial coach, do you mind hooking me?
Thank you so much for sharing 🙏
Am glad seeing this here today, your recommendation earlier this year was a blessing to my life and that of my family, am so grateful.
Is she really that good? I have seen lots of videos about her.
Investing in alternate income streams should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.
True unbiased news 🗞️.
It's biased, they're just less bias when it doesn't involve Indian interest.
@@bob-manuelwell, will u not state ur opinion if ur country's things r discussed and given to viewers ? .
Well in real , we Indians don't put our nose everywhere like many others.
@@bob-manuel
Doesn’t every news media soften their stance when it’s their own country??
@@user-ns6kv7mk3m funny how you guys are just proving my point, it's not truly unbiased if it's entire aim is to sell the Indian narrative, a proper wording will be less bias, I appreciate how unlike western media they seem to be painting parts of the world like Africa is a clearer light and no selling the starving Africa narrative. But unbiased != Less propaganda, truly unbiased must be applicable even to yourself.
@@-bigChungusVerified wow bibi 180° shift 😂😂
African youth will dominate. This is because Africa's culture is not messed up. The moral values are held up high. I pray Africans will continue to value their morals and allow male to be male and female to be female
Youth can be easily corrupted, they watch foreign media.
Africa has bigger thing to worry about than people being themselves. Leave people alone. Worry about employment, education and health.
@@briopalumpus8676 so do old people
Our cultures are very messed up to be honest, we either need to amend some and stop some entirely. Also LGBT has been on this planet for a long time you and I may not like it but it's in the public now and it will keep growing.
@@itsTheTruthTeller That is where you've deceived yourself! The more you push this garbage the more you make people hate it and push back. Keep it in the West or move there with it as Africas future has no place for it.
I have come across international students from African countries in Perth, Western Australia. They are very good people. They are humble and forward looking. Africa must reap the demographic dividend.
Happy to see your positive stories and images of Africa--you are arguably the world's best journalist -- I hope the unbiased broad perspectives remain in a world quick to promote negative, narrow images and information of Africans and Africa
Love from uganda 🇺🇬🇺🇬
Thank you Palki from Africa. The great thing with poverty is you learn resilience. We will build Africa slowly, for the next generations to come. This is great news
Africa lets rise my people.
I'm from Nigeria and I love the way you passionately talk about Africa Palki.
I agree! The Internet has made the knowledge of all history available to whoever wants to study. Much of the new Africa will take advantage of this. I think the story of the last half of the 21st century will be Africa rising.
Extra ordinary topic and wonderfully analysed, interpreted 🎉
I believe that the world run by gen-z's will be a lot better than it is now and it was before. What we consider carelessness is really just the disregard to the outdated traditions and suppressive rules. Gen-Z's in general are more confident, more open to new ideas that the older generations never were.
It is just a matter of time.. Africa youthquake is coming..
that mean is world global crime rate like never before, we saw it happening in Switzerland and in England. theft, stabbing, drug dealer. like never before.
let us hope so.
and those young Africsns will migrate to Europe ..
@@ayi3455 .. which Europe? Europe is just a neo-communist continent, hiding in capitalism propaganda..
Europe can't afford that@@ayi3455
Africans are genuinely Intelligent and hardworking...
Africa, stand up!
That's great news ❤❤❤God protect Africa
Very true ,very accurate on this
I love how Palki Ma'am addresses Gen-Z often because they'll be the torch-bearers of the future.
Im African and having Palki do this piece on Africa is the best thing ever😢. Thank you
The most important factor is whether genz is educated or not. Im so optimistic.
Very educated but very lazy and very soft
Africa we rise ❤
Balanced, objective and educated analysis of Africa
A world run by Gen-Z is one of my nightmares!
Gen Z is first world problem
These are gen-z of africa and asia. very different from the spoilt brats of America and europe.
@@charvaka5705gen z in Asia sucks as much as America and Europe 😅why do u think youth unemployment are so high in china because they are capricious and don’t want to work into factory instead they want to be influencer but this is the mentality of rich countries
@@charvaka5705 exactly 😂thank you
@@charvaka5705 Believe me this generation is different everywhere. They dlightly differ here and there but all are just too selfish than previous generations.
Our prophet bob marley said Africa unite for the benefit of ur people ❤❤❤❤❤ l love Africa, they call it Africa we call it home
❤ Thanks you for this analysis.
Wow thank you palki sharma this photo is of 2011 matric in alexandra south africa am the guy with the blue matric jacket we really dominating am a technical teacher now and am happy to see my self in your channel since am your biggest fan since from wion channel❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Extra ordinary measures are working for the youth ❤ from Sierra Leone
There's always light at the end of the tunnel..
There can't be a breakthrough if there hasn't been a struggle... In other words struggle is a sign that breakthrough is ahead.
Days are coming when Africa will break free from her struggle...
Thank you for the news about Africa Palk. You are the best 👍
When Palki said life is easier today compared to last century 💀.
My mind🗿: Within 2 decades of our century I witnessed earthquakes, tsunami(2004), COVID-19 (which is still haunting), Russian - Ukraine war(3rd decade beginning ), hyper-competition & distraction due to easy access to the internet, Overpopulation , Unemployment rate on the rise as many are educated but unskilled & After many years of education & scoring 70 -90% everywhere wages are same as an uneducated person & unable to afford basic living expenses. 8 more decades left god knows what will happen.
It just the beginning I agree with you Africa 🌍
Hope they get really good education and develop their country... India will support
We need young leaders, not leaders who can barely stand up or walk.
@@ibizawavey8630 yes ... powerful people
We actually do have good education and Africa is a fu¢king continent it's not a country... Also you know there's Indians in alot of African countries and they've been here for generations... You know this right?
@@ibizawavey8630 we need good leaders, whether they're young or old is not the point smh
Is India developed? First work on developing India and later share your support with others. First support your own country as it is still a developing country. Go and first get good roads, access to better healthcare, toilets, and education. Later share your support on behalf of all Indians with Africans. India is still underdeveloped in so many areas and needs support so focus on your country’s needs first.
we will progress - just one youth to take over a nation and watch
Thank you for saying the truth. You merit an award.
Excellent topics and delivery!!! When this channel especially Palki explains I remember it well and can use as reference point!!! Simple explanation with rich content and well presented!!!
The young African is becoming informed, the riden knowledge game is doomed.. because it doesn't benefits everyone.
🤔World of Gen Z? 🤨😢😱🥶. Definitely entertaining 🤣😂.
Yeah funny. You better hold your mother 😂
@@butchfils9464 already seeing early signs of trouble 🤣😂🤣😂
I love this lady he speaks facts!!❤
Yes, Absolutely yes!!!
Thanks Palki, you're the best.
The earth will rejoice and so will I ! Many Blessings to Africa ❤
Africa has human power, which results & explosion in population growth, and with the right leadership and guidance, we looking at a Renaissance, long overdue in the continent of Africa.
Thank you for this
Africa will and is rising and nobody is or will stop this.
Great insights!
Palki, your journalism is exemplary and topical.
This time 4 AFRICA 😻💓😎
WE HOPE SO❤👍🙏👌❤️
I am training people, which is why I started my youtube channel recently, on the ground. There is no problem of "instant gratification" stereotype. Africa is not the rest of the world.
We are not to be underestimated. Most countries of the world have underrated us but we are going to power the world.
Loved it when you said "we can't look at Africa as a monolith..." 👍🏾
Its going back to the original population. Everybody on the planet was African first. Civilization started in Africa. Every other group or nation came out of the African population. The planet is just going to revert back to it's original state.
Oh come on ......i mean we our descendants were africans ......we still cherish everyone in india , we believe the world is one family.....and world still has original population....i mean we aren't martians either ...... continent doesn't decides anything humanity does . Kudos
I believe that too, it might take even centuries but I think it is designed that way as Africa's cultures, way of life and interactions with nature and acceptability of different peoples shows consistency with time.
You and the fools who commented above me are delusional as fu¢k! 😂
@@TheLocalStandard moreover before asian African and American we are human. We should have some set of laws regarding earth and it's flora and fauna ......we must protect it being in a better position now....
Only think about Africa , which I think is horrible is people there eat bushmeat, which is really dangerous.....i mean , they cursed world with Ebola and aids/hiv and even malburg was traced in Germany it has its roots in African meat too ......
We shall get there💪
I really appreciate your endeavor to inform us on this. How reliable is the source of this data? Am asking this for the purpose of conveying it to our leaders. Thank u so much. Kindly reply and probably links..
Thank you very much for your great news
I must confess all your comments about the Gen Z came rightly correct and sincere.
My birthyear is the beginning of the Gen Z and everything you said was as if you were talking about me as a person.
Africa has a whole lot of potential opportunities to grow so strongly and powerfully like and even more than many of the American and European countries we consider as the world powers today.
Africa land of massive resources! African people, massive minds!!!!! B1
Thank you! Policies is the issue. Corruption led leaders can’t make good policies. Vote them out
It is possible that peoples can come together, prevent conflicts and build lasting peace. Countries and their leaders could show example. And Firstpost could spread the way.
Who the fu¢k are you talking about?
Go Africa..Your time has come.Make good use of it rather our country's. All the best.❤
Stop being negative. Africa will rise. Get ready for the African leadership of the world
Love Africans ❤❤❤
To our beautiful 🎉❤Ms. Palki. Thank you for always staying stunningly and elegantly beautiful! God bless you, your whole family, ❤🎉Firstpost❤❤❤Vantage team,❤ India❤ and the beautiful people of ❤❤❤❤India.❤🥰🎅❤🎉Happy Happy New!!! God bless to all.🎉❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Most African countries suffered a lot all through these decades. Hope their golden times comes soon!
Agreed yall 🙌🏾 Let's go Africa 🌍 Youth quake vibez
Intertaining indeed
Viva Africa. they will succeed
Maintaining political stability this region very important
Africa is a continent with 50 plus countries... so what region are you talking about?
There is an error in logic of systemic thinking
Youth without skills, entrepreneurial culture, investment friendly policies is of no use.
excellent report
We are Global Indigenous people!! Love and Unity is the best key for us all together!!💯 Also Giving thanks to the Great Mother's/Goddesses and Great Father's/Gods and the Ancestors and Guardians!! Saying from Snefer aka Bashiyr!!👸🏿🤴🏿
We come from the mother. But absolutely
Africa is big enough to accommodate all Africans please leave us alone with your analysis
India's superpower journey can start from Africa. After India, Africa Vishwaguru 2.
Which country in Africa other than Good Hope is best for the early settlers from India for a head start?
New Indians can deploy Blue Ocean Strategy. Cultivate customised economy, do venture cap and launch startups. Throw in platforms built on AI. Launch Aadhar and make everybody KYC ready. UPI kicks in and open the taps for the DBT, loans, credit, subsidies, payments and transfers to flow freely. EMI, SIP etc will follow. Vaccines can join too.
India Fintech world leader. Make all transactions compulsorily in INR. Dedoll will follow. America will resist. Ciber war breaks out, America Vs Africa. And the winner is India.
Glory to Africa with India.
Satyamev Jayate! 🪷
Jai Hind!! 🫡
India will start nothing in Africa. Are you crazy ???
China is ahead of you guys in African investment... so you've got to hurry up.
Africa unite! ONE AFRICA!
Yes good news to my hears an eyes africa will rise again an it showing in this time am here so glad for africa even iam not an African myself but iam from the Caribbean full for Africa
If you're from the Caribbean you're African too. The Canada, Australia New Zealand, USA etc are not Europeans but are all under the umbrella of "the West".
Africa is all over the world we're there are Black African people, these lands belong to us. Others take it with guns, we most do it with calm and humanity.
@@TheLocalStandard bless up bro thanks
Africa Unite 💪🏽🧠🙏🏽
In my opinion, it's leadership challenge and we're at it already
It’s already happening can’t be stopped
God bless Africa
Good !
I feel good when she talks. I'm here to see her
Yes, go Africa 🎉
We are in Africa and am telling you nothing will change in Africa!!!
One problem still remains - political leadership not just employment.
Yes they will 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
At least she came out with something factual unbiased for the first time I could remember her broadcast…. It’s often the other round about Africa, China or Muslims leaders. 😂
Remember, I love India, the people are very nice and some are just ignorant like in any country, racist to even their fellow Indians that’s sad.
Your nation has a long way to go too unlike many countries in Africa. I can’t be a bias to any nation or it’s people like must of the people outside Africa do when comes to Africa.
Your nation has attained a high level of progression in many areas, especially in technology, transportation, the Metros routes which your government is still investing in heavily… construction of new routes in Greater Noida region and many other areas, education etc that’s an obvious fact to anyone who lives in India even for a while likewise many countries in Africa, the difference is, many of you tend to see only what’s being shown to you in media about Africa.
There’s still a great battle ahead of your nation to address many societal challenges, the adaptive challenges are indeed dragging you back. The unimaginable opportunity gap between “classes” as you call them, there are many potential, creative young people plenty in your streets who could become the cream of your societies but they lack the opportunities to grow themselves due to many factors among which is the deep rooted social isolation. Some are minorities in their own motherland which is very sad.
There’s nothing like class of people in African countries, a poor could become rich with hard work and determination, no social structures or what so ever hinders other groups from attaining their full potentials in African countries. There was a day I vividly remember in one of the best engineering institute, it was India’s Independence day where foreigners in the University celebrated the Independence with Indians but there were some native who weren’t among, they were in hard labour cleaning, sweeping, clearing etc and they didn’t join the celebration because they are low class, the hard labour working society. This particular incident broke me 😢 as I couldn’t get it at all. One of my friend told me he hides his class because if his colleagues kneel it, they won’t befriend him, eat or be with them.
Must of the poor people in your country, according to my Dalit friend, remain poor for the rest of their lives In streets, begging and living in slums. I have seen a lot of that in my stay in Rotini sector 16/17 in the capital for that matter. These are things you will never find in the Africa i know, not the Africa many of you are forced to see in the media with children starving… I wonder if the media algorithms no longer function in changing the narratives every time the same pictures, sufferings, etc when Africa is the topic 😢 it has misled many about Africa.
In Africa, everyone is fit in the society.
4:54-5:03 Haha. It will be entertaining, It will will be positive and the world will be in safe hands of Young especially african changemakers. Shout outs to Firstpost.
