Hola
I see posts about Turkish series in this series dedicated to Telenovelas which is mostly a LATAM & Iberian Peninsular affair. Or lately I have been missing some few changes on what Telenovelas mean actually & that the meaning has been corrected to include Turkish & other series
Hellow My Ppl
I have come across a tendency of we as Africans (both citizens & ruling elites) instead of accepting criticisms for how Africa remains the World's Poorest region, we find a bogey man to explain why we are poor & always stuck in victim hood mentality
When are we going to graduate from Bogey Man, Victim hood mentality & start taking accountability for our dear Africa ? Other parts of the world that have experienced it worse than us are progressing steadily while we are busy stuck in the past instead of focusing on changing the future
I wonder if Swahili wasnt standardized by the Germans would we even be speaking it today ?
I think Swahili as a language should just be a cultural language it cant evolve further than that. Like imagine we dont even have a chemical equivalent of water (H2O) you think this language is really useful ?
Hello Bananges
Do you think its okay to force ppl to clean your home ? Like what is the work of ministry of environment ? Arent you guys paying tax for them to do cleaning if they arent doing their job properly what are you paying taxes for ? And also the guy said he already did the cleaning so there was no need for him to harassed right ?

Hello Everyone
Hope you are all well
I grew up watching the multiple Hong Kong film/series including the one I posted. Hong Kong had some classics that make we reminisce on that time when they created some good stuffs. What caused the decline of Hong Kong film industry ? Like today I cant even bring myself to watch any modern day Hong Kong film/dramas
Ooh & BTW I liked that Wooden Wheelchair, as it a prop wheelchair or real wheelchair ?
Amakuru Ma ppl
Hope you are all well
I have been trying to learn languages so to test my understanding of it the 1st place I visit are these BBC (as well as BBC Swahili& Igbo) pages that broadcast in African languages. I wanted to ask if BBC Gahuza is legit or untrustworthy. I do feel when it comes to proper Swahili/Kinya Rwanda only BBC gets it right. I know you'll ask me why I don't listen to songs I do but I want straight up pure Kinya Rwanda/Swahili/Igbo and only BBC offers that. So I wanted to know the popularity of BBC Gahuza in 🇷🇼

Hello My Banange
I am from Tanzania
I would like to tell you we are very sorry for whatever you guys suffered thanks to the action of the man in the seen picture. There are silent victims from that guy too who are Tanzanians but do not dare speak up thanks to the cult of Pan Africanism. Many were killed, many became refugees but no matter how much they try to voice up against Pan Africanism Cult-they get silenced. But we never forget never NEVER!!!
Como Estas Mexico
All the way from Anglo-phone Africa but deep down I have always loved/admired everything about Mexico from her people, her culture, her telenovelas to her geography. Everything about Mexico is beautiful
VIVA MEXICO !!! MEXICO PARA SIEMPRE !!!
Hello Everyone
I have a question, why is BBC Amhara, Oromo & Tigrinya so popular ? Are there no other Ethiopian media to counter them in terms of population out reach? ANd are these medias usually biased or mostly factual? I want to know your opinion.
Hope you are well
I wanted to know why the Ethiopian diaspora is deeply divided like they cant agree to fight for a common goal unlike her neighboring Kenya. Yes Kenya Diaspora too is deeply divided but when it comes to fighting for changes, unity is the language and in fact the Kenyan diaspora has achieved tremendous success especially in the political field.
Why isnt Ethiopian diaspora united when it comes to topics like politics ? Yes there can be different, but it can be put aside for the sake of creating a better nation dont you think so ?
Hello Nigerians
I came across a funny yet sad disturbing electoral video campaign that deeply left a mark in my heart. Let me break int pieces my observations based on electoral campaign video
Politicians have no agenda for developing Nigeria, look they don't even say how they gonna make sure food reaches he boy able, not even a mention of how they gonna advance NG agricultural sector
By using the child , it seems politicians still sees their citizens as immature people. They are using gimmicks that only work ro children
At the end of the day, still people will vote for such kind of garbage after every four years
How do you guys think the system is gonna change and positively impact the average struggling Nigerian Citizen ?
One of Befikre's most under rated song was Je Taime, The Cinematography, the singing, the choreography, lyrics everything about this song was just too good to deserve such views. Sunidhi singing in classical Western style then you had Vishal melodious voice OMG. Its a pity such gems which arent remakes dont get the spotlight they deserve compared to crapy remakes. Are the viewers to blame for discouraging creativity by consuming more of crappy remakes or maybe its the fault of music producers not being to connect with the audience. I am really conflicted
Hello Guys, Hope you are all well
I realize that the African Film Industry is lagging behind if compared to other film industries. I mean take a look at local TV chanels and you'll see what am talking is true. The most popular film/series are mostly non African ones. You think there will come a day that African film industry will also be able to captivate African audience the same way Non African film industry did ? I yearn for that day to come.
What do you guys think ? Or are my views biased ?
Hello Algerians
I am a Non Algerian who came across Tinariwen Music Band. These Blue Men from the desert created their own blue version of music and I liked it o much. How popular is Tinariwen in Algeria ? Are they the most successful music band in Algeria or they are more popular internationally than domestically ?
Hola Mexicans
I am from Tanzania and here (and overall Anglo-phone Africa region) Televisa Telenovelas (dubbed to English) are considered one of the most successful Mexican cultural export in the 1990s-2010s. Televisa became so popular to the extent that they went to establish TV channels specifically for African region and also the Televisa telenovela craze was so huge such that some people named their kids after their favorite telenovela characters like Marichuy, Maricruz, Valentina et al.
Are Mexicans proud that Televisa has been at the forefront of Mexico cultural export and giving Mexico a good PR globally ? Do you guys feel proud of creating the world largest most successful Hispanic Media like Televisa ?
Thats All
Hope you are all well
Kenya & Ethiopia share border but on our end, it seems as if there is less interactions btn the two nations. Imagine Kenya that doesnt share a border with DRC yet it always feel as if these countries are more closer than the later. Thats not the main topic
As you heard the economic situation of Kenya isnt good at all. Fuel prices this time are driving people mad. Does the silence mean everything is good on your side ? I mean how are you guys faring off economically ? What do you think we Kenyans are doing wrong that you guys got it right ?
Kenya a land that sacrificed a lot to achieve the political freedoms that none of her regional neighbors have. After the 2010 constitution I thought it would accelerate Kenya rapid development. But somehow the situation is getting even worse compared to the times when Kenya was under dictatorship. Murders (wether its those in power or opposition) have somehow found their legal way into power through voting, rampant corruption, bogus treaties et al is still persistent like no matter the progress Kenya made I dont know the political class still manages to unleash the worst on its subordinates.
I ask myself why is
1st QN
Kenya which is more free than Saudia, Qatar or UAE still poorer than Saudia, Qatar, UAE ?
On top of that most Kenyans still go to work into those countries that arent as free as Kenya
2nd QN
Were all the sacrifices made still worth it ? Like if we are more free than the mentioned countries we should be an economic powerhouse that is on par with maybe with South Africa or Morocco dont you think so ?
3rd QN
What is wrong with KE ? How do we start to fix it.
Kenyans are inputting more yet receive half the output of the input they put in their nation. This doesnt sit well with me at all
A moment of reflection is needed nationally
I wanted to post this on r/Kenya but I wasnt able to
In this film Kajol has a shift from her roles of always hiding behind a popular male actor like SRK or Aamir or whoever it is. An independent woman whose love for her son surpasses everything. At certain times this film felt as if Kajol had over reacted. But to me this is arguably the best of Kajol's performance,
I never understood why it was so under rated or maybe am I the one who has a poor taste of films or maybe I am a feminist ?
PS: Please reply in English as I am a Non Indian who is a fan of Indian Movies
The name Africa originates from ancient Romans who used Africa to identify what is now modern day Tunisia. Then European cartographers eventually applied the word to name the entire continent.
Its high time we stop doubting the African-ness of North Africa. Africa is diverse and its home to ppl of various races. Okay guys ?
