    I literally uploaded this video in the middle of the Irish countryside where the Wifi only had 0.11 MBps upload speed. It took all night and 2 crashes. Otherwise all is good. Hope you enjoy "Backwards-flag of Ireland French-speaking African country"!

    Even if there are little shells in your video. For example, since 2012, there are 31 regions instead of 12.
    Also there are a lot of islands on the coast. For example, the national Ehotilé park is maid of different little islands on a laguna created by the delta with the sea. There are also many different spots to road the waves like Bassam, Assinie, Jacqueville.

    Michael Jackson is believed to be descended from a tribe in Ivory Coast. That's why he was crowned king when he returned to his roots in Sanwi. Ivory Coast is a very beautiful and blessed country despite the bad leadership right now and the French still making coups and plans to try and keep the country under control , much like most other former french colonies in Sub-Saharan Africa.

      +Nick Pop I've never been to IC, but I have 2 sources :
      Once on TV, a french ivorian rapper got asked how he got so muscular, and he responded "because I'm a bété, all bétés are like that"
      And several years later, an ivorian student in my college also told me that bétés are very muscular naturally, even though I've never said about the bétés to him

    • @nickpop4649
      @nickpop4649 7 років тому +8

      Sony Ber That's nice to know. It's true that the Bété are naturally muscular. It's fascinating the diversity in among some African groups. Some groups like the Bété are naturally muscular, some are naturally tall, others very tall, others very dark, others lighter in skin tone on average. I find the overall diversity in Africa fascinating.
