Stay cool Stay tuned and remember, this is Earth, your home. Learn about it.
Actually the African country episodes are my favourites since we sadly never really covered Africa in Geography class back in school, it was mostly Europe, North America and Asia. Through Geography studies at University I have a pretty good handle on South America. I'm a teacher by the way and really appreciate these videos. =D
Neat I’m only 8 and I am a geography teacher in Denton youth school
Mine too.
Same but we only did
Nigeria
Ancient Egypt
And South Africas Apartheid nothing much else
We even skipped south America because of covid

The only thing I know about Gabon is Aubameyang plays for them
Lord Sanogo Will Win The 2094 ballon d'Or i kind of expected him to be mentioned in the video :/
Me too mate;DDD
Now you know surfing hippos.
Lord Sanogo Will Win The 2094 ballon d'Or HEY I HAVE SEEN YOU IN 442oons, football republic and football daily and now I have seen you in Geography Now.
123 guy The sequel I'm everywhere : D
Wait. People aren't watching the Africa videos??.......... WHYYYYYYYY????????????
NikkiLahvU2 well i watch all his videos anyway
Matthew Cobon me too! 😆
NikkiLahvU2 yup
i watch every video, i'd say more people are interested in major countries. Most African countries aren't big players in the world field
fuckakakaka Yeah, I get chu. But I'm a big geography fan so it's crazy to think some people are just nitpicky. Besides, the ones that aren't major countries are like hidden gems. I know about Britain and Russia but I never knew anything about Gabon.
I'm so proud i was born in this small but beautiful African country
So do I
Gabon is nice
me too
Je suis vraiment fier d'avoir passer mes 10 premières années de vie là-bas.
i wasnt born here, but it seems very nice!
I actually look forward to all the African countries. Africa tends to get ignored in the west
SirVolcy i love to learn about them too but that is annoying that we can't visit them easily.
in Asia or at least in india I can say that Africa is ignored a lot and have a lot of stereotypes too
Ojas Chahal that's especially strange considering the proximity and that many Indians live in Africa.
Not tends, is. Which is a big shame
SirVolcy i think south africa and Kenya plus the Northern part are known in the west
I like learning about those small obscure countries the most. because i learn so much new stuff.

plz stop saying small country
Small by reputation and political bearing, we all know Africa is a monster when it comes to size.
And small by population. I mean, 1.5 million? That's like a one bigger city.
1.5 million population is very small for a country m8.
Berlin has over 4 times that in poppulation.
Vjorp True
NO country is too insignificant to learn about, and no peoples are too obscure to respect and love ❤️
"Gabon is like a sister of Congo who got rich and changed her last name." I like your descriptions; really creative Barby!!!!
My surfing hippos don't want none unless you got Gabon hun
Mi Les Oh mon dieu, regarde a ceci hippo...
damn bbbbbbbbbboooooooooooiiiiiiiiii
Major Sinopa ma dieu?
Well ok that was unexpected. Nice (Y) :D
I'm never bored with ANY Geography Now video
This is the only channel were I can click like before I even watch the video. They are always fascinating. I used to love looking through an atlas as a kid.
Same
the newer ones are too long for my liking though (I don't really care about sports or music), but I'll still watch it out of spite
Ludacris's wife Eudoxie Briges is from Gabon! And a proud ambassador of her Teke culture :)
He forgot to mention 2 things. Oklo and Gabonionta, both near Franceville.
Oklo is the unique natural nuclear reactor that went critical 4 billions years ago in that location.
Gabonionta, the fossil of one of the oldest multi-cellular life forms on earth. 2;2 billion years old.
I had no idea those exist! Thank you!!! (Sorry I'm four years late)
If there's only ONE thing you need to take away from this episode, just remember....Surfing hippos.
Geography Now SURFING HIPPOS!!!
Geography Now NOTIFICATION SQUAD I LOVE YOU FINALLY A NEW COUNTRY *kiss me papa*
Geography Now he must've commented it in private and then published this
the funny thing is that if you take Gabon and put an a to the end like Gabona you'll get the hungarian word for wheat!
shocking i know!
486th view
Funfact: Gabon means "good night" in euskera/basque.
I think.
Sergi Monserrat Mascaró Yes, I'm basque and I can confirm it.
You're right. I was about to comment that!
Sergi Monserrat Mascaró in albanian means mistakes
Ghost Hunter it sounds similar but it's not mistake
Thanks! !! en español Por favor! !
Gabon is easily my favourite 'among the obscure African countries'. Even before knowing about the surfing hippos. Glad to see it covered.
Hi excellent video about Gabon from a Gabonese guy. You have described quite well my country. But 2 importants things are missing (II know that you cannot fill everything). We have the only natural nuclear reactor Oklo and the oldest fossil unicell organism. So Gabon is the birthplace of all living organism!!! wahouuuuu
WHOOO
Cool, interesting places to visit.
I actually like small, relatively obscure country videos more. I already know a lot about the big ones.
www.afrik.com/le-continent-africain-plus-grand-que-les-etats-unis-la-chine-et-l-inde-reunis
is not small
same bruh
Gabon is larger than the UK. Not England, the UK
Gabon seems like a really nice place
It is
rzeka I somehow compared Dominica (in the Caribbean Sea in the Americas) to Gabon for some reason.
After watching this video, I'm kind of craving visiting Gabon! Things seem to be really cool and interesting over there.
Man Lamp m8 Ebola has never been in Gabon. take a couple of seats
Ebola has been all but eradicated in Africa at this point. There is barely any left even in West Africa. It's never even been in Gabon.
🇬🇦❤️ ça fait plaisir devoir quelqu’un d’intéressé au de petits pays inconnu comme le Gabon et d’y consacrer autant de temps que pour un pays plus grand et plus connu. Merci j’ai appris plein de chose sur le pays de mes ancêtres 😃
🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦
Im gabonese 🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦
Me too!!!
@@antelmotrevizo5840 me too!!
@@antelmotrevizo5840 what?
Or gaybone is
Your country is lovely, love from Ireland!
The obscure African countries are my favorite because I don't know anything about them, so it makes the video much more interesting in my opinion!
Last time I came this early, people still liked to make "last time I came this early" jokes.
THE PARADOX!
Lucas Williams please don't
123 guy The sequel Haha I'm sorry
Salut de l'Azerbaïdjan! Je ne suis jamais venu au Gabon. Mais les forêts du Gabon m'intéressent. Aime de l'Azerbaïdjan!🇦🇿❤🇬🇦
Lots of love ❤️ to Gabon 🇬🇦 from India 🇮🇳
Can you sing "I'm a barby girl" for a video?
PLEASE
-wut-
haha yes it will be funny😂
Maybe Japan video.
YOU ARE A GENIUS
Gabon really seems great. Hope to visit one day. Much respect from Denmark 🇬🇦🇩🇰
I'm currently in Gabon now. And the CAN 2017 is going on. I almost forgot how humid the air feels 😂, also you forgot to mention that Gabon has unique parrots that can speak!
Hello hi
I'm a high school French teacher and show your videos of the French speaking countries. I have my students tell me something interesting they learned, and pretty much everyone mentioned either the surfing hippos or being shaped like a witch in a top hat.
Hello I am very impressed by your video and by the number of information in it. I am Gabonese and it is very rare to see a person retailing as much a country that is not originating and just for that bravo to you and thank you for doing all this research and for allowing others to discover our beautiful country.
Vive le Gabon. Aime si tu es Gabonais.
you presented my country so well wow thank you i even think there are some gabonese big shows that cant present gabon the way you did thanks...
I went to Gabon with my family in June for two weeks for the first time in 10 years and it was so great! Happy to see a video on Gabon 🇬🇦
Afcon is currently being played in Gabon atm.Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the star player for Gabon, who currently plays for Borussia Dortmund in Germany.
To be fair, the reason why I'm loving this channel is because of the more obscure nations like Gabon, Estonia, Antigua & Barbuda, and others. The ones I am looking forward to the most are Oceanic countries since no one really talks about them at all.
0:09 nice jingle
I am actually born and raised in Gabon and I must say Kuddos for outstanding pronunciation for all the complicated names! I am super impressed!
wow barby, you've slowed down. the last time you uploaded a country video was last year. pick your speed up man!
Jerrin Thomas he took a break because his father had medical problems
Mathias Falk irony isn't always easy to recognize when written
Nyancat7 But if you did have a good sense of humor and some "basic" intelligence, you would get the joke.
Jerrin Thomas haha nice
Jerrin Thomas His dad is sick dude. Check out his Facebook page.
Fun, just take a look:
African Country's Names in english - Name in Portuguese -what the name means in english
Cameroon -Camarões - shrimp
Gabon - Gabão - cloak
Sierra Leone (actually resembles spanish) -Serra Leoa - Lioness Mountains
Cape Verde - Cabo verde
Ivory Coast - Costa do Marfim
Gambia - Gâmbia - from the portuguese "Câmbio" meaning "trade"
Contless Guineas - guinea kinda means rich place, or place of the blacks
Madagascar - from "Madeigascar"; Marco Polo's name from his book given to the island in 1502 by the Portuguese
I'm sure there's more, but I think it's enough to help get you an idea of how many contries have their name from the Portuguse langage and don't even realize it.
Caçador Especial you know ivory is simply the name of the stuff (elephent's "horns") and that it was called coast because it was an outpost of the french right?
Outpost of the French with Portuguese previous discovery. The Portuguese discovered that land and simply named it according to the most abundant resource avaliable.
Caçador Especial thx for this explanation
@@cacadorespecial6030 there for a Portuguese colonial
Mbolo, Gabonais représente.
Vive le Gabon et l'Afrique.
mbolo

It's an incredibly beautiful country. I like the people, I like the country, I love it. I mean it's wonderful. Is anybody from Gabon?
Yes.
But bladdie expensive💵💵💵💵💵💵💳💰💳💰💷💶💳💰💵💶💰💰💴🏧
Last time I was early, Gabon was still part of France
SantomPh algeria was an entire french "département"
Senegal and Algeria were part of France
Gabon was never part of France, it was a colony
+Pipsy congrats '_'

salut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Salut

Salut
Bonjour du Canada
Nice! Gabon seems like a really interesting place that not many people care about.
I prefer the smaller countries you do! It's easy to find information about the big ones, but you bring light to the obscure counties. Way cooler to know about
Damn i kind of want to visit Gabon now
진짜??
All Korean ppl wants to visit all African countries lmfao
Vive le Gabon, vive L'afrique!!
Honestly, I think I'm more excited about the videos on smaller countries. I don't know enough about them and this channel is a really great way to fix that. Thanks, Barby!
I have a cousin who is born in Gabon. He kept the dual-nationality, even though he now serves in the French army. I hope I'll see this country one day.
You are welcome
so very NOT bored by the African countries! love your channel!!
Aubameyang 💛💛💛
Black German PIERRE EMRICK AUBAMEYANG GET IT RIGHT HE FAST

Did he even mention Aubameyang?
Borussia Germania he's french born
Aubameyang ⚪️🔴⚪️🔴⚪️🔴
The Africa Cup of Nations (football/soccer) is in Gabon right now!
*I'm Gabonese thanks a lot for the video !*
I just wanted too say that you've been extremely helpful for me. I am entering the finals for my school geography bee. Last year I did not study and came in 3rd, but this year I have been studying in the form of watching your videos. Thank you for the help!!!
I don't ignore the African countries, i think they're some of the most interesting ones, especially because of the culture, people and traditions. Can't wait till you get to Ghana btw!
Enfin. Très bonne video, comme toujours. Vive le Gabon!
Alvin G vous êtes du Gabon? 🇬🇦
Oui, je le suis.
I'm gabonese so proud of it
please keep that beautiful forest !! dont ruined it .it the most green country in africa
@@ayalqie4587 I'm going to be an entrepreneur when I grow older and Gabon has so many minerals I could sell say goodbye to the forest
@@tambal40 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
I enjoy all your videos Barby! I find every episode very interesting and as much as I'm anticipating the giants and "less obscure" countries I always like learning about an "obscure" country like Gabon! I'm always excited and eager to see a new episode of Geography Now!
what a beautiful country..........thanks buddy to prepare such a beautiful video .........you present your data so fast. nice presentation......Gabon is beautiful country with unseen beauty as i understand by watching the file.
yes finally after a good while a new video. I'm personally looking forward to the Greece and Georgian episode.
alex Johnson GERMANY BEERS
AdrianAtGaming haha yea I feel that video would be interesting but controversial for obvious reasons. interested to learn more about Bavaria
i actually wait for countries im not familiar with cause you make understanding them and their culture entertaining. :) but I just actually watch everything you create :D
The obscure African country episodes are my favorite since I learn the most. I already know a lot about north america and western europe, I come to this channel to learn new things about other countries, not just to re-hear things I already know!
I'm a big fan . I've never missed a single episode. Keep up the good work !
I'm going to Gabon! NOW!!!
Come my friend!! I'm in Franceville the city of Brazza !!😇
@@Nashlepoumaayangtv WOW! 3 years I waited for this reply! 😂
@@NandiCollector 😂😂 yeah! Because i see that vidéo at this moment! But Come fo Gabon ...
@@Nashlepoumaayangtv 😂😂😂
Trust me Gabon is amazing . I’m from Gabon
keep it coming geography now! excellent stuff.
There are countless videos on the world's larger nations. Finding informative and interesting videos on smaller, lesser known nations is rare. Keep these up, these are the best GeographyNow videos.
Peace, from Canada.
Thank you for your opening message it was needed!
Yaay! Finally new video, Thanks Paul!
Thank you Barby for all the interesting content you publish. Personally, I am more interested in the "small and obscure countries" which I know very little about, rather than the "big ones", which more or less we know more things about. So keep up the good work and keep standing up for the little ones ;)
As a daughter of African immigrants, I'm glad to see so many of your comments that are saying you love to learn about African countries and wish you learned more about it in school. The west usually always views African countries in a negative light. There is sooooooooo much more to. Africa than what the western media shows on TV...
My mother is from Gabon :)
that's video made me smile ! Thanks !
0:57 Doesn't the shape of Gabon actually resemble the shape of Texas?
And California smashed into it
I can see that.
We're not all American you oversaturated cabbage
bvabva THATS WHAT I THOUGHT
I was thinking that too. Honestly, though, I think it kind of looks more like Guatemala with buttocks.
Additional random factoid - Gabon is the first country I've ever Googled to have a website that isn't Wikipedia show up first in the search results. Like this comment if it is currently your favorite CZcams channel!
James Bone I
Lots of love for this channel.
Barby,
Because of your episode on Ethiopia I was able to have a really nice coversation with my uncle from Kenya, because for starters, I actually knew where it was. Please keep it up with the obscure African countries.
The African cup of nations is currently being held there.
Gabon is a country that has the same independence date as Indonesia, which is 17 August, only the year is different. Indonesia love Gabon
Cool. I like Gabon now.
This is, so far, my favorite episode.
Best channel on CZcams thank you for all the awesome videos
LOVE FROM IRAQ
Am I the only one here, especially because of the obscure countries? That's why I subscibed!
Gabon also has a surprisingly high level of proficiency in French, even compared to other African countries where it is also the official language.
The population is very urbanized and relatively wealthy by African standards, so perhaps it is not that surprising.
thank you for the info... quality content and presentation!
I love learning about these countries!
Great video man, thanks for doing this in such a detailed and enthusiastic way. I just got DNA test results back that my father's lineage comes from this country. Im trying to find out as much as i can about it and this video helped. Thanks
When you're from an African country and you're perfectly knowledgeable about Gabon and Gambia yet know nothing about all those tiny European nations (I'm from South Africa btw which isn't even close to Gabon)
Haha touché!
THE Gambia
I relate
Thanks for this video, your animations have really improved and the production quality is really good. Please keep making these videos!! (:
bless this channel for the amount of times it’s helped me with homework
Now I really want to go there!
Do go there
Gabon for Life 🇬🇦. Thank you, that was awesome!!!
TBH I primarily watch this channel to learn about "obscure" nations like many of the smaller African nations cause there really isn't any higher quality content about there to learn about them from. That's partly why this channel is awesome :)
I love learning about Africa and other unpopular places!
Love from Croatia
Allez le Gabon. Nice video Barby
Julien leroux Il s'apelle Barby?😊
I personally find these obscure nations(e.g. Sierra Leone, Moldova, Nauru) more interesting than big ones like Spain, or the USA.
I wish these were longer I love them, so much!
I was actually surprised that you didn't cover the fact that Gabon had a natural nuclear fission reactor near Francville.
Actually, African countries are the number 1 reason I started watching your channel; I already know a fair amount about the well known countries. I'm still looking for a good source on the exact history that lead to the borders of each modern African country to develop. I know most of it comes from colonial boundaries, but the decisions that lead to those largely arbitrary borders is still mysterious to me. I have started to learn that they aren't all as arbitrary as I thought though, partially thanks to your channel.
One of my favorite African nations
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER!! THANK YOU!
Wonderful!! THANKYOU
