The girl who said Amapiano is just beats no lyrics doesn’t know what she’s talking about, Amapiano is literally prayer most times, the lyrics are deep and inspirational. Anyway, cool video , nice bunch of kids.
They think lyrics means English. No English = no lyrics 😂
People are ignorant and proud. Very sad
They don't understand the beautifully beats but some are starting to follow
U can understand also most africans are too behind, by talking too laud we know that's deep village mentality.
That’s how they talk loud which can be annoying but it’s their culture and not village mentality
@@richardchaupe7231 and it gets really LOUD!!!
As a 39 year old South African pan African man. I am so happy to see this. When i was in my 20s, the differences in culture were too glaring. With the internet, we are bridging the gap. The younger generation have their own subculture. Good job my girl
A real pan Africanist wants africans to fix their own homes
So so sweet and humble...love them all...proudly South African..Proudly African 😊😊😊
Proudly African ❤️🙏
South Africa u legendary🙏🏾 Nigerians can't speak their languages at home but they do in SA❤️🇿🇦🫶🏾🙌🏾
I love seeing how happy the kids are. Keep studying and working hard and grow your talents and expertise in Africa to make it big again. Avoid the trap of sending your talents outside the continent. This continent depends on you guys, Gen Zs are the new asset of the continent
Thanks 🙏🏿 for heartfelt message.
I love these kids. They are giving thoughtful and fair assessments. Wishing them a bright future
this was so much fun to make!!💕
Thank you 🙏🏿💐.
Nice kids , about Amapiano Nigerians have never been in the movement to promote it , it is something that is catching fire globally just jumping on it but don't want to admit it the ish is rocking them big time lol
Amapiano has influenced Afro beat that’s how big it has gotten! no dispute 😂🇿🇦🇳🇬
@@dirxtope and it's a beautiful thing to witness creativity of how artists fuse different genres n make bangers
@melusimkhize9424 absolutely l just wanna document and make video that’s helps us all have empathy towards each other. It’s all love ❤️
You don't understand music at all. Amapiano got a huge boost from Afrobeat and vice-versa. Music is art, and inspiration comes from art.
@@Oldman1912Never! Amapiano went globally coz of our dances and infectious beats. Nigerians hopped on the trend to benefit from it but trust me, no one else outside of Nigerians think that what Nigerian artists are making is Amapiano
This is so interesting, I'm 27 years this year and I have yet to meet any Nigerian descent age mates who've grown up here in SA. I grew up in East London, EC and went to school in Durban & Joburg but still haven't met one. So interesting to see such a perspective
Thanks so much for the remarks, it's interesting to meet people and interact there is always something to learn. Stay tuned for more bangers!
Be glad you never have to experience it.Secondly, it a good thing to know Nigerians are not many in South Africa. Eg less drug's and scams
Because those Nigerians are very mindful and careful about SA, because how SA treats foreigners
They are around you because you hardly recognise them.
They look much like your people.
@@user-wc4ls9gt6s fair enough, I hear you I guess.
Fasanyaaaa😭😭🔥🔥
Much love ❤ from Abuja Nigeria
Cap city l see you!
Surprised to hear the girl with an Afro say she'd choose to stay in SA even after everything she has said about the country and its people. 🤔
Modimo a ba tlose
But she never made any derogatory comments.
3 minutes in and this is really good!! 💯
I actually liked being invited to a Nigeran church, and loved being with my 9ja sisters lol..We South africans need to travel more. very important.
I hope we learn to accomodate one another. thanks for the comment
@@dirxtope I mean I felt welcomed and Fell inlove lol planning on going to Nigeria soon with my hommies.
@@tshepomakoro66exactly the comment I've always been waiting to see from a South African.
South Africans just need to travel a little bit more.
Ah, listen, our democracy has made us comfortable. It is not a bad thing at all, but the downside is that majority of us are not well-travelled. Even worse, there's those who grew up in one village, schooled there, high-schooled in the next village, went to varsity in the same district or province, and married a local girl. It is so easy to spot people who have not crossed local borders.
Great comment thank you!
@flourishthrive8670 I hope to make more cross culture videos not here to debate but to encourage diversity and curiosity.
I am not sure if they are fully Nigerian as in mum and dad or half South African
Please I would love to see more interviews on kids born by South African and Nigerian I would really love to see and hear their opinion about SA please 🙏
Hmmmm that could be an interesting concept will see what the team can come up with. Thanks for tuning in 🙏🏿🤗
@@dirxtope please I am so curious
They seem mixed
@@valentineisraelshabangu4069 Mixed with what?
@@MatomeMatshwi south African obviously but funny thing they all act is if they stay in Nigeria while enjoying the better life in SA
#Abahambe dont they miss Nigeria ?
😂😂😂
That's for those who didn't come properly.
Come on now 🤦🏾♂️
Kenyan's youth are fighting to change things in their country. SAns have been fighting, so when are they going back home to change things for the betterment of their country and be the real giants they claim to be. Can we be allowed to have our family meeting without non family members toe.❤❤❤Soweto
@@nokweyisangqungwana3103They say they're giving us jobs imagine these kwérèkwérês though
@@MatomeMatshwi as if they don't have unemployment in Nigeria. They must go and create jobs in their country. Go develop it, and share the knowledge they got from galavanting all over the world, and irritating everyone who was hosting them. Actually they must go build public toilets and teach their people, you don't do no2 everywhere and in public, but do it in toilets.
The interviewer has such a sweet voice
🙏💙💙💙
I wish our children in the african continent can learn to co-exist in a good way
@5:25
I'm South African, I had just moved from Limpopo to Joburg in 2018, and invited a colleague for my 30th birthday party. He hit me with a "what meat tray should I bring" and I'm so dumbfounded like whaaaa? And he says "yeah, when invited to a party you bring meat and drinks", and I'm like if you're gonna basically invite me to a coal-fire like that then don't bother. If you're gonna have a party or get-together, YOU MUST CATER FOR ALL YOUR GUESTS!!!!! Number one, it screams poverty in lipstick, number two, it's just stingy bad manners altogether, so you can imagine my Limpopo self shocked out of my skeleton. He was also shocked to leave with plenty left-overs, lol.
😂😂😂😂😂 Absolutely
No it speaks togetherness in happiness and struggle in a deep spiritual way something ninjas cant fathom
And Nigerians prefer to sell thier soul for status and money
#Abahambe
I love Nigerian women tjey are beautiful 🇿🇦✌️
Loooove your content young lady..Mondli,Durban 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Thanks just sharing stories as raw as it. ❤️🙏
The young ones will always fulfill the dreams of the old.
Omo una never go through anything for primary & highschool😂😭
Not to be ignorant but why do people who have bad things to say about staying in SA are still adamant on staying here forever. I mean these are kids and I appreciate their honesty but if they have an option to go to Nigeria and it's a better option for them then why not?🤷🏾♂️
True 👍
And they're many countries they can choose
Since they love the moslem culture why not relocate to Egypt or Libya
I wish we can stay with people from Botswana, Eswatini and Lesotho only not east-central and west africans they do things differently
Well not all people say bad things about South Africa just like not all South Africans call foreigners amakwerekwere…
In this world you going to have haters and also good people who love you…. There are more good people than bad people
You're not ignorant bra you're stating facts.Why are they here?
@@richardchaupe7231 that is why I am asking the people who are saying bad things
live laugh love dirXtope
Yes oo!
Is good to know your culture and life experience .
Dope shit mfan
Lol its all love. I love this
This is really good content. Please do more and feature also other nationals residing in S.A. 👍
This is good for Africa 🌍 and please people you need to be patient with South Africa 🇿🇦, even themselves they hardly accept or understand each other
Glad you enjoyed the video.
SAcn dont oppress each other on religious,, ethnic & tribal preferences like what Nigerians are doing in Nigeria so dont comapre us to animals from the jungle

Its interesting how they're accents are South African lol. Many Nigerians migrate because life is harder if you have to live there. The challenges are vastly different
A lot of SA are not expose especially those poor ones, they can't even afford money to travel to work in other country, why won't a poor South Africa travel to U.S, UK or Australia to work, because they poor and do not know how to go about the process, only the wise poor SA migrate to another country makes money and travel back to SA to invest
Thank you for keeping it polite kids❤
And honest, we are all flawed thanks for tuning in. ❤️🙏
Very insightful
I'm a South African and i must admit i do not get why our fellow Africans migrate for good! If you are able to move to a country and gained a skill and made money in that country then shouldnt the logical step be to go back home transfer thar skill and help develop infrastructure?
I for one think Nigerians are the richest Africans but that money is not filtering to Nigeria.
You are wrong on money not filtering to Nigeria .Nigeria accounts for 35% of African remittance. Nigerians in diaspora are doing a lot and investing in Nigeria.
@@marony3529investing how if there's no good infrastructure , roads , Hugh rate of unemployment , a lot of people wanting to leave the country, You have normalized leaving Africa for Europe, USA and Australia, so bad that u don't think that US blacks going to this countries may be affecting them somehow... Theres nothing to be proud of or brag about if u running away from Africa
I'm Nigerian our country is under developed...
@@marony3529 exactly that's what they don't know billions on dollars is being remitted into the Nigerian economy and many diaspora invest at home
@@siphamandlamkhize9766 Oga no body is running from his or her country it's just what we called opportunity we see opportunities within the diaspora and come back home to invest, it's also a way of civilization and cultural expansion. That's how the Indians, Chinese where able to influence the world through innovation in various aspects, like I said the world is a free world
22:30-22:35 this is where she is now truthful
🔥
These people come here but still speak down on SA ....Obviously south african vibe is not the same as Nigerian vibe , South africans are not loud and we dont like loud people...south african has highest purchasing meaning we afford things but we are just not loud in what ever that we do...SA always represents internationally not only in music evem sports , films and in politics we are just not loud .....we believe in staying and fighting for betterment our country we want economic liberation we believe and making sure that our country is clean and functional...Theres always steteriotypes attached to certain people just like how other africans mostly nigerians see south africans as lazy! ...South africans have rights such as freedom of speech , expression etc , SA we are very free people not stuck in old ways of life that much....When that girl says SAns do bad things and they know Nigerians parents wont allow them i wonder what are those things , remember SA is not a village we live a mordern life we are open minded here ...that girl who said amapiano is just beats she should have just shut up , she knows nothing amapiano has meaningful lyrics and its really tiring now amaoiano this and that is sickening...If SA is bad you people wouldnt be here abd still adamant about staying here , Just admit SA is way better than ur countries theres no need to have empty pride...Its not our fault that you come from backward countries and pls stop comparing yourselves to us
Geez, this channel are for kids and i see mature people coming here to make comments
Why are you so pained, are you sure you can comprehend anything at all? no one talked down on south Africa. They just said the truth about SA. Nigerians are loud that is their nature, SA are not that loud, that is their nature. SA are not that friendly and they don't really like foreigners , we all know that, I have never been to Nigeria, but I know they are very friendly and they say what on their mind, because I work with them in Dubai and also in the UK.
Me personally Amapiono is mostly beats, which is not bad, but afro beat is beats and lyrics, it more enjoyable.
Nobody is dragging who is the best , they are just giving their opinion based on what they have experienced from both countries. So just relax .
@priceelesslove8846 🙏❤️
@@priceelesslove8846black Americans are loud too not only Nigerians speaking from experience. It’s not indigenous in every native Nigerian. Different tribes with different cultures
@@PaLPfamilyplayz1626
I spent 10 years in South Africa and based on my experience, they are also loud when they're interacting in groups much like Nigerians.
The girl in pyjama pants is beautiful.🔥
I live in UK, I’ve only met White SA’s they were usually very fun to be around
Absolutely
Great video 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 maybe you should do another one with adults 😅
Great idea we run it by the team. 🙏🏿 the essence is too educate and entertain no bias.
Adult no ways
I think the problem about these youngsters is that they are speaking of their lived experiences and things that some of us South Africans do not want to admit. I'm in my 30's and shocked at the vast difference between us and the South African Gen-Zee's. Perhaps depending on where you grew up, the general climate was respect and being cordial. You can't do that with many of these kids now, okare it bothers them to acknowledge that not everyone is a peer.
And it is really funny to witness the ignorance of some South Africans hoarding iup on artificial colonial borders like African countries sprung up the way they look now. If only you knew how we looked before they cut us up only to stitch us up in all the wrong places. Many of you are despising your own brothers and sisters, yet many speak nothing of European foreigners who literally own this country. But anyway, ba tla re we talk too much.
Just by the way, the Western belt of Africa holds royalty. Before artificial countries, there was Negroland. But then again, our amazing education system can never teach you history.
This is a beautifully done video. These youngster's parents make me think of my own parent, even now there's things I wouldn't dare say or do because of my upbringing. Unfortunately now we have in the majority, a buddy-system parenting.
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
The kenyan girl so cute
Shem girls ur suffering from the sins of your uncles here in SA but I hope with your generation the perception of nigerians might get better and we can all get together
Uncles 😭😭😭😂❤️
Amapiono has massage ,which u don't understand ,because we sing in our native languages,so u won't understand it , because u are not South African
I’m curious to know what area you filmed this in? I’m from joburg north but I don’t really run into Nigerians where I’m from
Same here i don't wish to meet these things
@@MatomeMatshwi don’t be rude
@@Healingson You don't tell me what to do
@@MatomeMatshwi "Things"??? That's just disrespectful and honestly unacceptable!!! I'm South African born and raised Zulu and been in the US for the pas 5 years, Not every Nigerian is bad and i wouldn't want to be associated with bad South Africans either, Think of it this way... Would you want to be referred to as a rapist in Nigeria because South Africa is the Rape capital in the world???
Of course not, so yes, most Nigerian's sell drugs, human traffic and scam people, but that's not all Nigerians.
Let's have humility when addressing people, instead of making an emotional argument, please be considerate!!❤🙏
@MatomeMatshwi My dear I m South African and your comment is barbaric
Most of ladies their experience with south African is about suburb areas.
What's the issue with that 😏
This is Afrika
That's nice content my sister I enjoyed it I am a south african love to see the youth bring their views
Much appreciated stay tuned for more! ❤️
These kids will not fit in well in Nigeria anymore, if u did not tell us they were Nigerians I would not have known..😅. I love how Yorubas emphasize respect. Please be patient with South Africans, We got freedom just 30 years ago... In 60 years things will be better
Why say so. These kids will still fit right. They know first and foremost they are Nigerians and where home is. Kudos to their parents they have not lost what makes them Nigerians. The spirit is still vibrating from the way they speak and mannerism. So rest.
@@marony3529 mannerism? The way they speak? Are u sure u listened well? This is not how Nigerians from Nigeria speak.
They have acquired the SA accent doesn't dim the Nigerian spirit or make them less Nigerian. The way you treat non SA will forever make them not integrate. These I can already see from how they have expressed themselves. These Children will most likely relocate to the UK or America with in the next 3- 5 years.
@@siphamandlamkhize9766By how they speak , I meant the issues they have reservations about not necessarily the accent. Any body can acquire an accent if you live and interact with the locals.
@@marony3529 I know two Yoruba ladies who were born in South Africa, they said they just don't fit in Nigeria anymore when they visit, They love living in South Africa. If these kids decide to leave and go to the UK or America , this will say a lot about Nigeria. Why would they rather go and live in the UK or USA & not back home ? What does that say about Nigeria ? If u want to go that route please think harder.
The thing is attitude can be Suttle or Dominant ..look at how they refer or discuss South Africa....they live here and still degrade our country 🤔 🙁😑😡😡.
Sometimes it's better that they respect the people and respect our country.
Facts
When we retaliate they call us xenophobic
Sam was looking hella breedable the whole time 👁️🫦👁️

4:14 side eye side eye
THIS IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND educational TO TREAT EACH OTHER KIND ✌🏾❤
💙🙏 That was the essence. Thanks
Im actually shocked at what these youngsters are saying about our kids. First of all, the issue of "ukulumela" i thought its still done in all households, you will not just say "hi" to an older person, hi what, dog? The second issue of icurfew? My daughter who is now 37 years and only hadva child at 35 years old, had a curfew until 21 years old.
Greeting, that also, at work i fought with other races because they dont know how to greet.
SAn parents you're dropping the ball i must tell you, and nizokhala.
I'm with you there, also had a child at 36 and always had a curfew. But also, I feel ukuthi these kids are lying in certain things they said about our country...remember it is unfashionable to compliment South Africans nowadays, yet they still will choose to stay here over going back home.
@zipporahyourexplorer4891 you are absolutely bias, the kids shared their experiences giving both positive and negative remarks... Funny enough SA had more positive remarks than their home country proving the reason they live here... Stop being judgemental and watch the video with open hearts.
@@dirxtope I wouldn't have watched the video at all if I didn't have an open heart. You actually seemed very disappointed every time they had something positive to say about SA and couldn't hide it. Maybe you should apply your own advise to yourself and have an open mind about the country that has hosted you almost your entire life and quit the negative Nigerian mentality that your parents fed you about our country. The half Nigerian, half Kenyan girl was very bias and spewed nonsense about almost everything. The less she said about amapiano the better cause clearly she doesn't understand the genre enough to comprehend the lyrics, which is rather embarrassing since she doesn't even wanna set foot back in the country whose music she will die for 🙄. I've given this enough attention than I would've loved to. Enjoy my beloved God given, most beautiful, most talented, to die for country ✌🏾
Most Nigerian live in towns or cbds in SA
I'm Nigerian and l have visited the Townships like (Pheli, Soweto, Sosha, Kagiso) to eat especially and experience the atmosphere... And l love it

20:52-20:57 now she is lying, the thing is, she is not interested in knowing the languages in South Africa…I am from Botswana and way way older , and obviously I like Afro music as older generations do but I do listen to Amapiano sometimes and these guys have lyrics with deep meaning… here she is now biased.
At this point South africa is envied Look at how jealous these kids are, Cause they speak so bad about SA as if their countries are better but thhey still chose to come here and some of them are still very much adamant about Staying in South africa , I dont understand such people who always tryna talk down on SA whie they live here and dont even think of going back home .
They are no Jealous, SA treat them bad even in schools they are bullied
