So many places in our beautiful mother land called Africa that we discovered thanks to you Tayo and BIG🙌🏽UP to ALL the African UA-camrs for your breathtaking contents and for putting Africa on the map like no one has ever done it before !!! Your brother from Congo🇨🇩 #ForAGreaterAfrica✊🏽
Thank you for bringing this to us, there’s a similar village in Ghana 🇬🇭 called Nzulezu There are many similar cultures in Africa. This tells us Africans are indeed one ☝🏽 people 🖤🤝
I have been to Ganvie and it is a sight to see! There is so much to see in Benin - a beautiful country. Didn’t know that it is bigger than Makoko village in Lagos. Well done Taiyo. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
You are simply in your Own League as we discover Africa through Your Lense! Wow! What a loaded educational and informational video. I am extremely blown by this information. You're the BEST in African excellence in content creating. The experience you are giving us through lense is in a whole other level. Just wow!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I said am not going to watch UA-cam today because I don't have enough data. But immediately Tayo notifications showed up. I can't resist. Let me grab my Pop corn
Thanks Tayo for sharing this VALUABLE and INFORMATIVE content of GANVIE lake village in Benin Republic with the global AFRICAN community! We are collectively CHANGING the NARRATIVES of every village, town, city, and nations across our beautiful Motherland one day at a time! 😊😊😊😊✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Tayo dude your content, research and filmmaking has grown immensely and you are a credit to Africa. Keep up the great work bro. Thanks for showing the world this amazing floating village. You work is encouraging people to venture to these amazing places due to your content.
Thanks so much Mr. Aina watching all the videos you did in Benin Republic 🇧🇯 really brought a lot of joy to me honestly, because my mum is from there and all her family lived over there, she has no one here in Nigeria except my dad and us (her children) . She visits Benin once in 2 years or more, and we the children barely visit. Seeing this video, men i just want to explore all of benin and get more closure to my families over there too. Thanks So much sir.
I was just reading about Ganvie last night Tayo and here you've dropped a video about it. Thanks. I didn't realize it was soo big. And it's great that you added the history of the town as well. I love the ingenuity of their floating hotel and their carvings
There's a place in Asia that's pretty much like this, the name escapes me right now, but they attract millions of tourists annually. I'm not saying this place should become a tourist trap, but it's sure got a lot of potential. Another cool thing about African countries that I love is how the average person speaks 3-4 languages. Thanks for another incredible video bro. Now I want to go visit Ganvie.
Yes, I know exactly what you’re talking about and that’s the first place I thought about when I saw this video. The country I believe is Thailand and Damnoen Saduak is the most famous water market.
Tourists especially from Europe and America's bring alot of bad habits to local villages . . If the villagers are happy and comfortable let them stay that way
They actually have their native language.the youbas are actually a tribe there and their dialect is quite different from the Nigeria yoruba.I speak one of the languages which is Ogu alada But I was born in Nigeria,Badagry so lol yeh
Loved it! The fusion of French, Yoruba and English. The ambience, the people. I'll love to visit it one day. Oh and it's "Oui" for "Yes" not "Wi". You're doing an amazing job! Thank you Tayo. Merci beaucoup.
Even I the citizen of Benin Republic🇧🇯 can't tell our story as much as you're i applaud you bro Tayo and I really appreciate you for this great job all the way from Germany🇩🇪 coming back soon to embrace my mother land again missing him badly😢 I love you all. Salut all my country people🤗
This is unique and outstanding content! 😎 What a joy to hear of African people who evaded capture as slaves because of their strength and ingenuity. 👏🏼 It warms my heart to see the people of Ganvie maintaining so much of their original culture. Thank you for this enlightening video, great work! ☺️ Greetings from Southern California, USA. 🇺🇸👋🏼
There are many sites of refuge in Africa where people evaded capture into slavery. Mountainous areas were common places of escape. The Akoko region of South Western Nigeria had many settlements in the surrounding hills as the region was constantly raided by different armies for slaves. The Atakora hills in Ghana also served as refuge from slave raids.
I have been following you for a while now and I must say, I'm inspired and humbled by your work. The sheer dedication and diligence that goes into all your videos is just amazing. Thank you for doing what you do 💪
Tayo when next you go to Ghana kindly cover Nzulezu. Would love to learn about their history of their existence and what life is like of people in that community from You. Do us the honor in future 🙏🏾
Three books were written in the 1800s "The Tshi speaking peoples ", "The Ewe speaking peoples", and "The Yoruba speaking peoples". They give you a a comparative history of these three groups along the western coast
what a fantastic reference to vernice as in you are just saying this is a floating city on water in Africa. Its amazing what they have achieved with the little they have! Tayo! this place is 100% cleaner than Makoko o...i had to go to ur video on makoko.....so dirty! we Nigerians get fundamental problems oooo....true both rich and poor. Its well! Their own is better even the houses! I enjoyed it. welldone
Very informative video. I'm learning so much about Africa that I don't get in the US. The perseverance and creativity of the African people is a testament to despite the circumstances we have the capacity, fortitude to survive.
That is mind blowing. And her fluidity or change was just like, woooo . So beautiful to have experienced through his lense. Genuine organic interaction.
The way the functions of the boats are divided is funny. 1. One for me to go and catch the fish 2. Second for the women to go and sell the fish 🐠 caught 3. Third for the children to go to school...

@@Nicholas-kn6hl they need to let my boy Sunday out though :cries:
This is a Photographer's dream ... 😍 all i see is a collection of beautiful pictures of people just living their daily lives in Ganvie .
For real.
If they know their stuff, they will blow the world with images from this place for days.
I just have to applaud Tayo for this world class documentary. Quality sound, quality pictures
This place is so amazing, clean and neat, thanks for showing the positive side of Africa to the world
Sorry, This is not clean man!
It can't be clean
Where do they get water for cooking?
Telling our stories by ourselves!😍Taiyo Aina much love.Africa to the world.

It's heavenly...I love West Africa
It is black art and culture. Other parts of Africa are cool too :)
A bro I gotta let you know man you guys are doing something fantastic
thank you 🙏
So nice to be introduced to another historical part of Africa. 🙏🏽🙏🏽. Venice in Africa 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Ikr. A floating hotel, how cool!
This is actually part of world history. I salute this heroic people, they are the pride of Africa!!!

Our Yoruba family lol, it's fascinating mixing yoruba with french like when you pronounced the price in English and she had to say it in french.
😂😂😂 I was struggling to understand the French
@@TayoAinaFilms 😂
Your so open-minded nice point u picked up
They actually have their native language.the youbas are actually a tribe there and their dialect is quite different from the Nigeria yoruba.I speak one of the languages which is Ogu alada
But I was born in Nigeria,Badagry so lol yeh
Also not all them can speak French fluently just like some Nigerians can’t speak fluent English.so they speak pidgin french
I watch Tayo Aina vlogs every time and always learn something about vlogging.🙌🏿🙌🏿
This video is giving me vibe. I'm definitely going back to visit Benin and will visit here. Thanks for all Tayo♠️
Loved it! The fusion of French, Yoruba and English. The ambience, the people. I'll love to visit it one day. Oh and it's "Oui" for "Yes" not "Wi". You're doing an amazing job! Thank you Tayo. Merci beaucoup.
@N G why not be technical ignorance is not a solution. Learning will not hurt you.
The Makoko or Nzulezu of Benin not Venice of Africa 😂
Wode maya, they are the same people living Makoko 95 % are benin republic
@@edigeorge548 He meant we don't have to be using European city as a yardstick in this regard. Wode Maya is a pan Africanist!
I believe he said this- to give Americans a frame of reference - but now i have to go search The Makoko or Nzulezu of Benin 🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♀️
True!
What? Nzulezu is not in Benin I beg
Ooh how I wish I can travel and explore the whole of Africa .one day is one day
Even I the citizen of Benin Republic🇧🇯 can't tell our story as much as you're i applaud you bro Tayo and I really appreciate you for this great job all the way from Germany🇩🇪 coming back soon to embrace my mother land again missing him badly😢 I love you all. Salut all my country people🤗
Thank you Tayo 😊 this is so good to know. And thanks for exchanging Yoruba with that banana lady 🖤

Loved this and loved the people. Gentile ...particularly the market lady in the boat. True testament to resilience of Africans.

And Nzulezu in Ghana, 🇬🇭 Ganvie in Benin 🇧🇯 and makoko in Nigeria 🇳🇬

look like I found another place to put on my places to travel bucket list, thanks for another amazing video tayo.
Tayo for president! 🙌 Your film making skills are amazing. Good job on this one.
It's so nice that Yoruba is spoken in other African countries Amazing!
This is Benin. They have Yorubas in that country who are indegenous
They have indigenous Yoruba population in Benin Republic.
Because you guys are talking about colonizers borders, get real
Le Benin est un beau pays. Peace and love from Senegal
Le Sénégal aussi est un beau pays.
It looks like a place i can visit it looks like an adventure and relatively clean.
I was there some years ago and the memory is still refreshing
Another great video bro. Thank you for sharing 🙌🏼
Nice one
Welcome to Benin Republic bro , you are doing well

Amazing documentary Tayo. Rich culture here. Thanks for sharing this
Well done.
If I’m counting well, the banana 🍌 seller is speaking 3 languages already 😅🔥
That is mind blowing. And her fluidity or change was just like, woooo . So beautiful to have experienced through his lense. Genuine organic interaction.

Wow the insides of the hotels and restaurants are beautiful
How deep is the water
I want to say THANK YOU so much for this incredible video. It has shown me how it looks like in different parts of this world.
I'm still waiting for the Porto Novo tour ( project sunghai) .
Sometimes, I wonder how you put together your video ideas! On top of that, is the super quality video editing style. 😭😳.
It feels like something out of a book. Thanks a lot for making these videos, Tayo. I can’t wait to see more of what you do! ❣️
The way the functions of the boats are divided is funny.
1. One for me to go and catch the fish
2. Second for the women to go and sell the fish 🐠 caught
3. Third for the children to go to school...
A lot of content from my mentor. Thanks baba T for this great content you are the best. God bless and protect you in all your discoveries.
