God bless your house.
Hello!
How are you?
are you in Windhoek or in swakop??
I miss that country.
@afroamericaninafrica I am so glad you back on youtube. Can you do a video about african furniture design on how you furnish your home
You don't have to worry about no high price property taxes like we do in usa
Your video got 40K views because Africans living in America want to come home to the motherland.
Absolutely! We're waking up and seeing that we can do better elsewhere.
And trust me, many Americans want to return too.
We sure do
I love how patient you are with your son.
Sunkiss Flower I love it too!! I aspire to be like this when I have my children ❤️.
thank you 😌
my sister in law we love you
Namibia is very advanced infrastructure wise. And arguably one of the most beautiful countries in Africa along with Botswana, Ethiopia , Tanzania, Kenya .,South Africa.
I just wish the places that black American's ancestors actually came from had better infrastructure. Places like Nigeria, Ghana, Gambia, Senegal, Cameroon where our 4 or 5x great grandparents were taken from need this level of advancement.
Lol I don't think Ethiopia is close to advanced...we are way behind
Remember Southern Africa is more like the American or Europe because of the Apartheid.
@@judithbatse7667 Botswana is all black hands, it was never colonized or under Apartheid
You seem like you'd make such a gentle teacher
I am Namibian, i am from Okahao. I have stayed in Otjiwarongo and i am currently in Windhoek. I have been watching your videos for a long time. i am proud of what you have achieved. I am glad you like it here, Africa is home. ya'all welcome home.
Thanks so much 💗
Namibia is expensive to live in simply because the banks are owed by Europeans mainly for profit on Africans.
To change this, we need to create our own banks and aquire big tracks of land and turn them into serviced lands and become our own developers.
Namibia is as big as California but has only 2.5 million people and Europeans wanna keep it in this underpopulated for their selfish interests.
We need to populate it in order to make their presence very insignificant..
Agboka D5K and also after economic crisis the namibian dollars has dropped drastically...back then things were really cheap because 1US$ was equivalent to N$ 5...now it’s at N$13 so it is really expensive. I hope we really regain our economy back.
It tickles me when lance interrupts🤭🤭
All children seem to have 'radar' when it comes to their moms, LOL!
I have fallen in love with Namibia through your videos. Thank you for answering the questions.
Very beautiful house and thanks alot for sharing
Thanks for answering our questions. Your baby boy is so handsome 😍
It's been awhile your little man is all grown now glad to see that you're doing marvelous😉❤
Love the front door. Having a wall around your property is a must. I like the area you are in it's very close to shopping, and I don't feel you are too far away for everyone. Plus there are a lot of people building in the area.
As a Namibian i really adore❤️ your blogs, thank you..
I know we have similarities with SA due to the past but we are the motherland of africa
I recently subscribed to your channel, after having followed You-Tubers in West Africa for a long time. West Africa seemed to have been a natural draw for me, being an African American. Your channel gives me an experience of the diversity that exits on the Motherland. Thanks for your broadcast, very well done and most informative.
congulats. I love your sensitization of African Americans and other African diaspora. My worry is that they are not coming to Africa in enough large numbers. You need you to come like a flood. We are not saying give up America , am against that myself because it's like surrendering to the white man in a country that you built in blood and sweat. What we are saying is that we need you to have a piece of Africa as much as you can. Africa is so untapped, we just discovering a belt of gold here in Zambia from Mumbwa in central province to mwinilunga in north western province. in the past 1 month Oil has been found oozing out on the ground in gwembe southern province.What am I saying? am trying to say that please let's work together and enter an era where Africa 's resources under the ground, in the sea, on land and in the air are exploited by Africans on land and in the diaspora to end our poor existence accross the globe.
I love the sensitization work you are doing .Subscribe to Eat Love migrate channel and link up with sister ES.
Well said👏🏿👏🏿
Advent munga what a great Ideas...am Kenyan & I keep saying the AA need to buy buy buy part of Africa now than later but keep their American citizenship!
@@muurisoras5878 You are so right today coming from work. I just wanted to go home and just get my bag and my passport and just leave. Believe me we're coming I'm tired is cold we worked all our lives for nothing .We put everything into the system and we have gotten anything back out.God bless you my sister .I was looking at Ghana then maybe Gambia. ♥️
You are correct it's time for us to go home now. We have been disconnected from our homeland too long. ♥️
Love from Qatar
I use to live in Namibia! I love your updates
Your channel is great, it suddenly popped up in my recommendations a couple of months ago, been watching you ever since.
I'm from South Africa but I still think Namibia is still cheaper on housing compare to SA . You will never find anything that cheaper
I love it! Thank you for sharing.

You have the best voice ever!

You have no idea how long i have been waiting for a video so honest and informative regarding building a house in Namibia. Thank you so much and much love from England xxx
I am very proud of you. My greetings to your family
I've been watching your videos since you were talking about teaching in Namibia and it has been a joy to witness your growth into wife, mother and entrepreneur over the years. Looking forward to all your channel will have to offer in the future. #fellownewyorkerinthebronx
Happy you posted so soon. I plan on moving to Africa ( just dont know which country) but your videos as well as other youtubers living in Africa will hopefully help me to choose one that is suitable for me.
Thanks for the updates.
I am so happy for you Queen
Awesome, beautiful house. Saw the house on your last video 😍👍🏼👏🏼🙏🏼
Hi, your video came as a recommendation. I like it very informative. By the Grace of God we will be in Namibia soon for exploration. Now I have just watched part1 and 2 of your wedding. Stay blessed.
When you owned house in sub Africa you owned forever because their is nothing like foreclosure in Africa
Nobody will emit you from your house
There is actually.
No because in Africa majority people build from the ground. Then a less number buy.
There is actually. Depends where it is
Hey sis. Good to see you. I really enjoy your videos.
Really love your content 🙏🏾.
I just discovered your videos about a week ago, it's such a pleasure watching them....Lance tickles me.
You seem Caribbean to me, you said 'hush' to Lance regarding his feet burning...are you of Caribbean descent?
Tomar1226 she African American with African descent.
My grandma and Mother always said to us growing up "hush " to us it's just a word. I believe black ppl said ..But she have Caribbean roots.
I just subscribed, I think I'm gonna love you more..🤗🤗💖💖 you are so brave sister.
Well done!
Thank you very much my sister for the information
I love your session hey, and keep it up. I am a resident of Walvis Bay, and seeing how you are marketing our country is something that I will always cheries. I am hoping to meet up with your family soon
That's a good information Thanks for sharing nice video. You're looking good Good evening from new York city that's a beautiful house.
Thanks or the great info my sista!
All The Best to You All
Really enjoyed this video. Tackled quite a bit. Looking forward to the retirement one
That's what I was thinking. Well presented and deserve some recognition
I just subscribed. Nice video and also to say that your son is so cute.
Congrats again! I can see why land would be more expensive in Namibia.. In my country Kenya, most new land developments are not serviced fully-only water and electricity . I can see that there is tarmac road and even street lights in your neighborhood. So I guess if you discount these factors then land in Kenya is cheaper.
Makes sense
Namibia is more modern than Kenya ,so I assume that's the reason it's higher ,there are more towns lands than village lands in Namibia
Namibia more modern than Kenya?
Congratulations family🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Congratulations to you and your family and God bless your marriage.
In Burundi, $80,000 is still a reasonable amount for land and a two storey house if you want to build in the city. But going outside the city would cost you half of this amount.
I like the sun.
Congratulations to you and your family on building your home!
Serviced plots of land in planned developments generally cost more than (multiples of) unserviced plots of land. For a given general area, any significantly 'cheaper' lands most likely do NOT come with roads, drainage, water mains and connections, electricity lines, planned layout and other controls and features of typical planned communities like yours. Raw land in the 'bush' could be dirt cheap almost anywhere, but likely does not have the services and utilities in planned communities. The cost of land-plus-building varies based on features, finishing, and factors of production (local versus imported building materials for instance). Some countries import significant proportions of building materials and finishes, and with those, higher prices. All that said, the price of land and building are greatly influenced by 'Location! Location!! Location!!!'
Congratulations once again! Best wishes to you and your family!!
Congrats on the house
Watching from cape Town South Africa
I enjoyed your channel so much. I'm a South African living in Angola. It is a bit of a shift even though it's the same continent. But I love it.
Thanks for sharing.
Im Namibian and i travel accross the border to Angola to buy stock for my business ..i am in love with Angola
How is living in Angola? I am looking to african country to live , but not sure where. Is angola a nice country in terms of facilities ?
@@sylvisvlogs6215 hi my SACU sis. What are you stocking in Angola? I actually love Namibia too.
@@mariemarie2449 yes Angola has good facilities. But it is very expensive. Everything is expensive here including food, schooling and accommodation. Also remember that it's a Portuguese country. But I love living here.
Thank you so much for the information Sis. Many of us are trying to leave America. There is a mass exodus happening right now! You will see! Blessings to you and your family and thanks again for sharing.
Sister, I love all your videos!!! I hope your channel is monetized and you are receiving income from it, because you definitely deserve it!!!
Hey I just came to your channel I never saw it before. but I'm from the Netherlands but lived for almost 2 years in Namibië bc my father worked there for René Kids Centre I don't know if you know that organisation but I really like your channel😊
by the way sorry for my bad English but I hope you understand it😉
I didnt realised your house video had generate so much interest, this seems to point to the disaffection of many African American, and their quest to seek economic fortune outside of America, something to ponder, i wish them well, i'm happy for you and family cuz . My question is, about public transportstion, bus or train to the capital, schools and security in your area. "We Gatherin".
Cows chilling in the streets lol, what a contrast from New York City.
Land part is expensive
I have a dream of settling in Namibia. I see so little about your country on t.v. I kept looking at your photo just to compensate.. great job. May you build another house and another for sale
Here is another subscriber from Namibia 💃💃😅😅😅😅
Hiiii! 💓
Wow!! Loving your vlogs 😊 Are you learning the native language? And Lance? I am so impressed with your life sis😊.
Thank you Kaylen!!!! Very informative as always. Side note: are you going to sell your earrings on Etsy or your own site. I'm sure I've commented before on your unique earrings. I love them.
Nice ❤️
Love to you from Los Angeles, CA! Your videos are so interesting and your beautiful personality comes shining through.
How does the Patreon setup work?
To build a house in Namibia is too expensive compare to build a house in Nigeria,with $80,000 you can build mansion house with huge land.
Abbey Oluwa the standard of living in Southern Africa is a higher than west Africa so building a house tends to be expensive when compared to Nigeria.
Abbey Oluwa yes this is true... but the standard materials are not the same at all. The materials in Namibia are very strong compare to the bricks and building materials used in Nigeria.
The houses in Nigeria can not be bought with a bank in Namibia.
i would believe that..i swear my country is unnecesarily expensive😒
Yes land is very expensive in Namibia, and we import most of our building materials, thats the problem
@@tkntinda you seem proud that things are expensive in your country I hope you know cost does not mean quality especially because in your case you Namibians are merely paying cost of transportation spent in shipping those materials and not the quality.
Futhermore you have never been to Nigeria that makes you very incompetent to speak about buildings IN Nigeria.
NOW, you saying Nigerian building materials are poor shows the white supremacist Brian washing you have been fed throughout your life, tell me which cement company in your country can rival Nigeria's Dangote cement or BUA cement? everything used in building is manufactured locally that is why it is cheaper in Nigeria as well as the fact that there is little bureaucracy and red tapes around building in Nigeria.
if I want to sell my land here it's totally up to me I can sell it for 3 billion or 1 dollar this has made land really cheap in Nigeria compared to Namibia, because they'll always be someone willing to sell his land cheaper. If no one just wait something urgent sickness, travel, marriage,education,death/burial something unexpected will make a land owner reduce his price.
In Namibia on the other hand building materials are imported from places as far away as Asia and Europe instead of buying from other African countries the same way Benin refuses to buy cement from its neighbours Nigeria(one of the biggest producers of cement globally) but imports from china instead, tell me then how won't it be more expensive to build when transportation of these materials alone cost a fortune?
also fewer people own land in Namibia than in Nigeria this means there's more sellers in Nigeria than sellers in Namibia meaning sellers can place higher prices and not worry about competition if you can't afford it someone else will BUT in Nigeria it is the opposite if you don't want to sell to me someone else will sell to me good example of this is parts of Abuja in Nigeria where houses cost around 80,000usd and many cost even more I saw one of 197,000usd and laughed the agent was my colleague in Law school I laughed and told her plainly with that money is own my dream houses and a big farm and house in another country, all those houses are empty please visit and see for yourself nobody will pay that much for house in Nigeria when there are available alternatives in other parts of the country equally as good as those ones eventually the prices fall.
Don't be jubilant my friend tell your government and people to build factories and manufacture that's how you industrialise stop giving Europe your money
May you please do a house tour after you moved into your new house ? I like your content .
i like this
Love love your videos. I am from Grenada located in the Caribbean want to start my channel as well.
I think the reason why your last video got so many views, which is good, many Black Americans are so done with the United States, we are looking to relocate to the continent. Most of the people I know want to leave but just don't know where to go or how relocate.
Seems like standard operating procedures like the USA re: home purchasing, land, etc.
That's a huge fire. i v never experienced bush fire like that, i would definitely be paranoid if the fire surrounds my house like that.
Thanks for the info! Yeah, I was researching Namibia before & they are one of the few places where it’s easy to buy property as a foreigner (other countries like Nigeria require citizenship to own land while foreigners are allowed to lease property).
As far as solar panels go, I know China manufactures some inexpensive ones, although they are (to my knowledge) not as good as the ones built in America. I guess my only question is what is the food like in Namibia‽ Is it spicy‽ (yes, I love spicy food & miss Nigeria because it was automatically spicy)
The food in Namibia is very Spicy and delicious.
Namibian food is not anywhere near Nigerian food in terms of spicy 🥵 hot pepper. Namibian food more like western food...totally different from Nigerian taste, I can attest to that.
This was very informative. I am also from NYC and love learning about Namibia from your perspective. Also, I read that Namibia is a lot like South Africa (European vibe) is that true?
South Africa is just a bigger version of Namibia, the European vibe is very much alive here.
Ann it is a former German colony then later apartheid South Africa occupied it.
As a South African I would say yes due to Aparteid and colonisation but both countries have African government. ... remember like slavery in America we are talking about more than 360 years of whites in SA and Namibia.
Yes Namibia is similar to SA in terms of European vibe if you talking about the oldern buildings and townplanning but I think its more Western in culture. We love your music, movies, food, your celebs are welknown here. But we r a rainbow nation with many different tribes so traditions and the daily way of life is vast. I'm a local Namibian, living in the same town as this lady and also lived in Bloemfontein SA so yes things are the same. Most our products are imported from SA so everything was known to me plus they stock Namibian pasta which I think is the best🙌
Kenya and Rwanda are also dope
Rwanda is my second home in my head. I have dreams about owning property there, lol.
OFF GRID SOLAR SYSTEM WILL COST YOU NOT MORE THAN $2500 US DOLLAR MAXIMUM SISTER
IF YOU ARE SMART YOU CAN EVEN GET WHOLE SOLAR SYSTEM LESS THAN $1500 DOLLAR WITH BATTERY COMPLETE IN SOUTH AFRICA
GOOD LUCK SISTER WITH YOUR NEW HOME
Fiber optic network will be deployed once the cable operator (Telecom Namibia) determines the commercial viability for deploying fiber optic network because it is costly.
Have you done a family road trip from Namibia to Zambia and zim to view the vic falls?
Your son much look like you.You have done a great job.Africa is home for black people.Lets join hands together and build the continent
To buy land in Nigeria is much cheaper than Namibia.I bought over 3,000 square meters of land in my hometown 2018 at $10,000US which big enough to build anything
That's awesome ☺️
How can someone ask if there is a carpet floor in Namibia.??
Bjay 😂
carpet flooring is not advisable in Africa humidity and dust will affect your respiratory system best to buy a rag or carpet at the local supermarkets
😂 they expected dry grass on floor
Please come back
How do stay in shape? You look so fit 😍👏🏾
love your video
Hi the its the lady that met u in the taxi yesterday
Hiiiiii Elina!!
Everything sounds good with one exception; did I hear correctly? did you say that the taxes are the equivalent of $60 per month? That I find is fairly high; $720 per annum; the utilities are relatively cheap but the property taxes sound pretty high. Perhaps I didn't hear correctly. I am not in the US; I am comparing with the Caribbean, Barbados to be more precise.
Hi dear, wow amazing content thank goodness for an ambassador like you and for presenting our country like this. We have to meet someday. Pls contact me when u'r in town or pop in to my shop next to Waltons. (Smart Mobile Shop).
Wat a beautiful woman
Beautiful house , sister can you tell me the name of this city in Namibia ?
