    On my last day, I had a chance to meet some Fijian natives and we had a chance to talk about a variety of topics regarding Fiji. What they said about Africa truly surprised me. We are all the product of our environment. I am glad that I am to shed some light on some unknown that many people have about various subjects around the world.

      As an indigenous Fijian, I would like to point out that the title you mentioned is offensive and does not represent all Fijians. It makes the general population appear uneducated and is very misleading as it generalizes the views of a small group to represent an entire population. I would really appreciate it if you could change the title to "Views on Africa from a Group of Fijians" instead of "What Fijians Think of Africa."

      I've always wanted to travel there. When I was younger I worked in a clothes store in Central London. One day a Fijian man and white lady were in the store. They were both looking my way and eventually the white lady came over to me and asked where I was from. I told her my family are from the Caribbean and she responded that her Fijian friend told her that I am from Fijian like him. I knew at the time that the women wore their natural hair in afros and I used to wear my hair the same way.

Both speak different languages, and different religions. Majority of Fijians are Christian, and Indians are majority of Hindus, some Muslims, and when i went to Fiji few Indo-Fijian Christians. Many Fijians look typically Melanesians whether it is Papua New Guinea, or Vanuatu, but some Fijians are mixed with Polynesians mainly people from Tonga or the people in Eastern Fiji, and i met a few Fijian/Samoans.

    Fijians are beautiful people. I used to talk with a lot of them when I was in Iraq. Depending on who you talk with they have as part of their oral history of having connections with Africa and some will even mention Hapi(Nile) Valley people coming to Fiji in boats and these was way before the Indians were brought in by Europeans. Fiji is definitely on my short list for travel. Great video you should get around there more..👏🏿

    I have thousands of Fijians as Facebook friends and i can say without any contradiction that they are few people on earth that are as motivated to achieve academic success as Fijians. There are three leading universities in Fiji, University of South Pacific, University of Fiji and Fiji National University. These universities turn out thousands of graduates every year. Large numbers of Fijians also study at universities in Australia and New Zealand and also at the University of Papua New Guinea and University of Goroko. So Fiji is not all about rugby and Farming. There is much dignity in farming. Had you visited certain villages in Fiji, you would have noticed the respect many Fijians have for Tanzania.

      Yes. My son did extendive DNA testing. He is Part Fijian. It went back to Tanzania on his paternal line. East Africa. My husband who was Fijian could even translate some Tanzanian words. It had the same meaning. Example Koro. Village. So yes I am sure. I have studied Melanesians and the culture for many years. Look at them. Look at the people in Vanuatu. You will then see someone was lying about something. All off these people are descendants of Africans that navigated their way from Africa, Southeast Asia and into Australia and the south Pacific.

The guys you are talking with seem to be nice and friendly people. Farming is very important. However, Fijian may want to balance farming with some other fields to help them to produce simple farming tools. Fields such as engineering, technology, nurses, teachers, medical doctors, lawyers, trade school, and more. For them farming to growing their own food is very good, important, and makes Filian to be self-sufficient in agriculture and be successful in other fields. I like their simple and laid back life.

      If you study the melanesian DNA you will see that melanesians are not related to africans but closely related to polynesians and south asians, that is melanesians and Australian Aborigines both have very ancient DNA bloodlines close relatives.

    Thanks for the video, please, go to a village not a settlement, ask the village elders you want to spend afew nights, to really understand the correct and real village life. United States have been sending Peace Corps to Fiji for as far back as 30 years ago, they live in a village for weeks. You will never be disappointed,

    As a African American, we know we are from Africa and are making steps to move to Africa. Black Americans views are very different about Africa. We are still one but separate in a sense because of our mentality. I do believe there are Fijians who know they are from Africa. It has to be. I was considering moving to Fiji and South Africa to build a three way connection from America to South Africa to Fiji. Just a idea. Thanks baba for the video!

      ​@IvainTures As an indigenous Fijian, I would like to point out that the title you mentioned is offensive and does not represent all Fijians. It makes the general population appear uneducated and is very misleading as it generalizes the views of a small group to represent an entire population. I would really appreciate it if you could change the title to "Views on Africa from a Group of Fijians" instead of "What Fijians Think of Africa."

      @@IvainTures it's not being closed minded, it's important to avoid making generalizations about a nation based on the actions or characteristics of a minority group within it." You stating 'fijians" is referring to us as a whole whether you understand that or not.
      It's crucial to use language carefully to avoid unintentionally making sweeping generalizations. Clarifying that you're referring to a specific group within the nation rather than the entire population can help prevent misunderstandings.
