You are observant glad you see a pattern to how south Africa do things theres always a reason behind... first you asked about mogudu- black 'dirty' tripe that's just how we like it has been like that before we were born, personally i think it's more tastier.. i discussed this with my Indian colleagues they like the 'washed/white' what's nice about South Africa there are options and you are free to choose what works best for you.. so on tripe it's a common thing in the Southern Africa you can travel to Namibia, Botswana, Swaziland, Zim and Moz all our sister countries when you travel that's what you will find. Black Africans liking to walk/track right let me take you back when whites arrived in SA the fact that you see Townships with blacks only, it was as a result of segregation laws blacks were moved from the lands of their ancestors.. the cities and suburbs that you see now at some point they were not allowed to set foot except when they come to work and go back to where the Apartheid system built them houses you now know as townships, note i am not talking about rural/farm areas but TOWNSHIPS here. The segregation was such that there were black only townships, coloured only townships and Indian only townships guess what of all the groups blacks were at the bottom in everything. There were and still are industrial areas where businesses and manufacturing takes place those areas, they hire lots and lots of blacks . Although there was a system of transportation buses, rail and cabs back in the days, it was normal to see people walking from the townships to those industrial areas to work.. because of the types of questions like this, i would suggest you take time and go to museums, libraries and art and cultural centres for history lessons you will discover a lot and have more understanding of how some of the things are the way they are.. One Nigerian vlogger who is based here had a video and she mentioned something without realizing her lack of understanding the history of this country, her parents came to visit her family here in SA and she said her mother was suprised how blacks and white live separate she thought it would be like in the America or Europe. Had she first had historical background or question from South Africans instead of coming with assumptions it would have made perfect sense why things are the way they are. You asked about parliamentarians well on that i think it's their way of exercising their democratic rights it doesn't mean it right though, but hey 🤷🏽♀️ it is the way it is.. Songs and dance nation South Africa is a singing and dancing nation from back in the days from traditional, classic, pop,contemporary google about history of music.. if possible watch SERAFINA during struggle days music was giving our music hope, when the railroad network was built by our people at the background was our blacks people singing during the hardest days to pass time our fathers, brothers would go in the deepest part of the earth in the mines in all these areas one thing was and is still uniting them music they will sing together. It made the pain they were feeling and how they were treated bearable. I always say no one understands South Africans because no one has walked our walk, I've just realized just as African Americans starting coming to South Africa that are the only people who understand us and i am not saying that to disrespect anyone but the history we have understand each other better than the rest of others South Africa is just South Africa not like any other country, we have our way of doing things, that may not necessarily make sense to others but to us they do. Research, try watch old SA television or programs you may pick along where or how things are practiced...

Interesting video. Appreciate your curiosity about our ways and the respectful approach. I laughed silently on the question about our parliament, because I used to watch YT videos of other countries’ parliamentarians fighting and be highly entertained. One of them was of Nigerian parliamentarians beating each other, throwing chairs etc. Our parliament was still very polite and stiff back then, zero drama and lots of decorum. Little did I know there would one day be an EFF and a Julius entering parliament, and forever changing the well mannered, very western style😂😂😂😂 You would not believe it if you saw videos from back then. It was so boring that no one even watched the parliament channel on TV, till Julius turned it upside down 😂😂😂 Hope you continue to have a good stay in South Africa. Trust that we have no issues with fellow Africans, unless something is off or they’re disrespectful in some way.
The song and dance is actually a learning curve for me, I actually thought all Africans in the continent had the same thing. I think for South Africans traditionally we have a song and dance method taken from our historical cultures where song and dance was a way of telling stories and communicating with people whom weren't of our tribes language and culture. This was kept and practiced even apartheid times and now carried into the current South Africa. So we naturally are in tune like that. Oh yes I walk 3kms a day as a must, learnt it from my grandparents too. We use to live far from services, towns and schools, walking was the only way to these places and somehow we still walk long distance because its in our genes. In big cities though we don't like getting parking fines and hence choose walking over parking problems
Our songs always goes with moves because of the what the song is al about. Be it happy song or sad song or liberation song etc. Some songs originate from struggle from time of our forefathers the songs were kept from generation to generation to date 🇿🇦🌺
....l used to leave my car at my girl friend's place and we will walk to the next suburb in Cape Town for a dinner date. We were both working professionals...
Im umXhosa, and we call tripe "ulusu". I prefer my tripe with the black layer but sister prefer hers white. Walking is a form of exercise. as for the singing and dancing its part of our lifestyle. in my village people would even create songs when they fight with their mother-inlaws 🤣🤣🤣. If your mother-inlaw is giving you hardships, just create a song
About clean and black tripe, when we slaughter a goat, sheep or cow we have what we call (ukuFukutha) in isiXhosa that means u eat the netted look like tripe uncooked or roasted mostly by men in the kraal we sprinkle a bile, we preserve the fresh animal taste or flavour some put it on fire but most do not, doing tht its a culture. Same thing when cooking it people make sure that they clean it to certain extent but still wanna keep the flavour, the thorough cleaning somehow almost all the flavour is gone in which some people like it very clean, so it depends on how u grew up used to.
I see that all your questions have been answered ... SO, I'll leave a comment 🙂. I really enjoy watching your content, there's something about your genuine curiosity and how you ooze femininity.
Each culture is different, a diced blanket usually blue and white is a tswana culture. But not everyone wears it but only married woman. Mogodu, all of us eat it like that and it is very nice like you said. The dance and music, we are musical tribe..
If you really serious about learning about our culture I suggest you visit the museum so you can get the answers you need sis thanks for your interest ❤
I think black tripe is the best tasting type as long its thoroughly rinsed and no small stones or grains of sand in it As for walking long distance it's therapeutic, sometimes i leave my car to think deep by taking a walk Then dancing part well its how we are whether present day SA ,apartheid SA, or Zulus going to war during Shaka era it psyche us up, so i think dancing is just in our DNA Blanket part symbolises from girl to woman , motherhood, and maturity too
As south African we think differently and see things differently than the central African..our short distance can be your long distance like the city of tshwane you can work it all by one day what because we where there before all those buildings where there.
Walking long distance: I would say, Yes there’s a link to history. I want to make an example about the province where you are currently living in (Kwa-Zulu Natal/KZN). There was a King Known as “Shaka” and his predecessors as such. People were without any form of transportation, so moving from one point to another by foot was quite an ideal situation, they had no choice. The Kings were explorers and had to acquire land, so in doing so, they had to move and cover such a long distance along with their followers or people in general. There was a time when the King had to send one of the Chiefs for an errand from KZN to Bulawayo in Zimbabwe, and he had to track. He travelled as if he is just going to buy something to a spaza shop, I mean he never felt the distance even if it was a trip that will cover some days. The Chief went to Bulawayo and came back few days later. So tracking is in our DNA, we can travel by foot for miles, we don’t care. I guess that’s part of the lineage, we took it after our ancestors. In addition, I don’t want to repeat what my fellow SA indicated in one of the comments, he put it nicely, I just add into what he said, I hope you will understand. Song & dance in every situation I would say that’s part of the package of being gifted, can’t explain it further than I did in the 1st part of the video. It is part of our DNA, in every situation we sing & dance, and apply the correct and appropriate moves that fits the situation, not just any move. The value that music and dancing has in our lives as S Africans is magnificent, like, again my fellow commentator has also indicated, it’s not easy to explain this to a foreign person because it requires one to have an experience of it and the background (knowing it by experiencing it, NOT being told)
Lobola Blankets to cover the bride That is part of the culture, not only the blanket, but also in some certain tribes, the bride will be expected to were specific clothes as well, like the Ndebele tribe, they were certain valuable bits and more. Point of order, very dramatic situations in parliament Politicians are very deceptive in nature, they always play poli-tricks, manipulate people unto their advantage, therefore as we have elected the candidates into parliament, we expect them to fight for what we are expecting from the government, (those who are ruling). So if you will be soft, you will not win your point to your advantage. Remember they are elected by us (the public) to be our voice in bringing the government into account since we cannot all be in parliament. The fighting and struggle that you see is because of standing firm in bringing the government into account. All the party elected candidates in the parliament have a role to play in making sure that they deliver what they were expected to do as the public mouthpiece. So this drama and chaos is fuelled by defences and putting forward of one’s point, especially when one has to account. Unfortunately, in other African countries, parliament is just formalities, not a place of real accountability. One cannot stand and accuse OR criticize the President or any Ministerial officer, you only do so because you have already signed your death warrant!! You don’t care what will happen to you.
The history of South Africa did not start during the apartheid era, there were times long before that and apartheid itself did not exist in all parts of South Africa and there were many white South Africans that suffered from it too who got tortured and killed. Apartheid was basically like a cold civil war.
Tripe - it’s the difference between bleached and unbleached. I personally prefer the unbleached. We clean our tripe thoroughly, just not bleached. Chlorine is used to bleach it until it’s white. I can never eat that 🙈🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♀️
@@oyinkanhoney yes that is true you guys use hot water at longer times. That washes away the black stuff which contains a lot of flavour but understandably the texture of the black stuff is really weird. I think you put it well in the video. When I teach my friends from other countries I tell them of mangos, some eat mango with the mango skin and others prefer it without. I personally think mango skin brings sweet and tangy flavours to the mango and others just want the mango flesh which only be sweet only.
1. I grew up eating it like that, and i find it has more flavour when its ‘black’ when its ‘cleaned’ it lacks that dungness. 2. I love walking yoh!!! Its clears my head also the adventure anything is possible on the road 3. wow what a Que, i think its just who we are, we sing when we cannot speak. 4. ??? 5. From the time ive know parliament its dramatic… but also its the journalist they choose to show us the crazy side of those adults acting like children
The three step dance and turning to all four directions of the clock, is popularity done during weddings where everyone joins even the grand pa's and Mama's was popularized during the 90's in an era of transition from apartheid and then it was called (Codesa Google the political history thereof). It just became popular around the country. White tripe where they even add sheep head and feet is normally Indian and whites who do that and they wash it with Coca Cola. For us blacks naaaah! Big winter Blackest I also learned that the Zulu and Swati culture do that. The Batswana wear a blue and white on with blue Seshweshwe dress. While Basoth wear blackest all year round its cultural nje. During funerals they put a blacket over the coffin as in olden days someone would be buried with a cow skin. As modernisation took over cow skin was replaced by a blacket over the coffin ⚰️ the significance thereof I don't know as I am Born Again and I never showed deep interest.
The tripe of a cow 🐄 natural when it is dark it shows that the caw was eating natural grass the grass paints the intestines of the cow but with the tripe it stays in the tripe longer i think you know the colour of a cow s excrement , but if the cow is being feed dry grass and some different feeds it tripe will be what you call clean, and at times if you remove the top layer of the tripe the not so dark part appears ,it is clean still even if it is dark provided you cleaned it with tap water or you cleaned it thoroughly.
I've tested bleach tripe, girl, its tasteless ooo, I prefer our "dirty" triple. In southern Africa that's how it's eaten. There reason you prefer bleach tripe is because you mix it with other meat and vegetables when making your soup. Just imagine eating steam bread with the white sauce 😅😅
Yes definitely, the white tripe absorbs the spices and flavours of our many other ingredients. Steam bread with white tripe sauce is actually so funny 🤣🤣🤣
Black tribe is still clean. It just depends on your preference about how deep clean you want it to be. People in SA prefer it to still have that natural smell. I have seen Chinese also prefer it like that
Good content. Curiosity makes us learn each other’s cultures & lifestyles If it’s done respectfully then it’s a good thing, like you did. I also have many “why’s” about Nigeria 1) Why do you guys like wearing sandals every time? 2) I see Nigeria is full of market places selling food. How sure are you guys of the cleanliness and hygiene of food sold there, especially meat because it’s so sensitive? The meat sometimes has flies on it. Doesn’t Nigeria have municipal by laws & health inspectors to regulate food marketplaces? 3) There is over 500 native languages in Nigeria. Does it mean an average Nigerian has to be fluent in most of them? 4) Why employ a gate men in residential houses, when there is electric gates, CCTV cameras and alarm systems? 5) How come Nigerians always seem loud and confrontational? Always ready to “put you in your place” 😂 I also saw this on Big Brother Nigeria. 6) What’s up with the walking stick all of a sudden when a man is rich? Is it a status thing?
Hi there. Let me address the point on why we trek long distances etc. There is actually a reason that has to do with our past; it was called "Apartheid Spatial Planning"- what it means is that the government regulated who lived where in relation to economic opportunity and is was based on race. So White ppl were allocated land near to financial or industrial centres and then a bit further away you had Indian and Coloured people and furthest would be Black people (generally, sometimes the Coloured or Indian community will be further). So the basic structure was that you had a white urban centre and then a few townships surrounding it to serve as labour reserves. Worst of all, for a long time Black people were not allowed in the CBD after a certain time so they had to only come in for work and leave to Black areas immediately afterwards (it was usually far enough that you cant cause trouble easily but near enough to allow for the trains and buses to get you to work). Hope that helps
Very helpful answer. I'm always eager about new cultures and I appreciate people like you who take their time to answer instead of bashing. Thanks for being here 🤗
I had a colleque who asked why South African don't eat rice like west Africans, Well we are not a rice growing region and we were not colonized by rice eating people
I'm not sure were you bought your tripe, but like chicken feet some stores will sell the clean and unclean chicken feet. The cleaned feet would have the yellow skin lining intact and the clean would mean it's peeled-off. Now with tripe, you can still buy both the "black" and the "white" (cleaned and not cleaned). The cleaned one would usually cost a bit more than the non-clean. The "white would usually be Lamb or Goat tribe and the "black" would be cow tripe(I'm not sure if it's the first or second stomach). I mean, some stores sell diced butternut and so much. Otherwise, in this country, we eat the whole cow, head-to-toe.
There is such a nauseating / unpleasant competitive debate between Nigeria and South Africa. I believe every Nation has its own culture. In a multicultural society, each part of the caltural society practice its own culture differently. Sometimes it's not even a question of cultural practice, but an individual practice style of doing things. This should not be generalized as a South African culture. We all know that every Country has different culture, different people with different characters and different cultural practices. In a Democratic society like South Africa, there is a Bill of Rights which explains individual rights and the protection of those rights. People have a right of choice, religious belief etc. All those rights are constitutionally protected. For as long as the exercising of your right does not infringe upon the rights of others. Now I have been watching with dismay, the debate and the Competition between South Africa and Nigeria. I am a South African and I believe both Countries have a lot to offer. Good and law abiding Nigerians come to South Africa with good intentions. That is acceptable. But there are those terrible Nigerians who will come to South Africa with bad intentions. We all know that one rotten potato spoil the whole bag. Where such incidents occur, people are not going to individualise the situation, but generalise. For instance, how many countries in the World are sceptical of granting Nigerians a Visa? There are so many. How many Nigerians with the Country's population of over 200 million people, have left Nigeria for greener pastures. How many Countries in the World have greener pastures? Those are questions to be asked before a person leaves his country searching for greener pastures. The reputation of your country comes first before trying to play patriotism with everybody. Build your country first before criticizing others. One thing I am proud of being a South African is that even when the going is tough, they will stay and join hands to fix their problems with their government.
@@bonganibophela2819 that big box we buy at Chester Butcheries filled with a mix of usu, ithumbu, usnyaka etc we cook/boil that , and that is specifically called Umgxabhiso nothing else...atleast in the Durban area where I am from
White tripe is tasteless. I remember seeing it in Mexico when i lived there. It looked like a piece of cloth. 😂😂😂. There flavour came from the herbs and spices thwy put not the actual meat. South Africans are not afraid to embrace their culture, hence we speak our mother tongues. Whereas most African countries shy away from their cultures and mother tongues, especially the more educated thwy are.
I need you to try white tripe in Nigerian soup, I really hope you enjoy it. Too delicious. But honestly mogodu is yummy 😆😆😆 If there's one thing African countries can learn from SA, it's to embrace the beauty of our languages l. Thanks for responding 😆🤗
do the nigerian government build houses for poor people ,what about pension fund,unemployement fund road accident fund i wish to know please talk about that on the next video
Wrt drama in parliament... #Parlie is basically where we make laws, so as a rainbow nation not always we'd want the same thing hence the drama (but MPs are protected, the drama u see is supposed to end inside th walls of parliament) unlike all whites/blacks parliament the law making process is a bit difficult whn blacks, Indians, coloureds & whites hav to represent their own needs # regarding every event being represented by a songs,
Why do South Africans not attack people of other countries. It is getting out of control. I am one of the people who never critisize other people from other countries but I am getting tired of how people don't understand West Africa and South Africa are completely different regions af there is no reason to be critical
Blanket. You're now part of our family, you even have a blanket here. A wife is to withstand the heat of marriage + raising a video & she is to cover herself at all times
🇿🇦👋🏾Hi mam. Without being too long. What kind of state is Nigeria 🇳🇬 (socialist, communist or capitalist)? I'm curious without being political. I'm sorry I couldn't help it 💔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭 I'm looking for the truth I don't like to make false perceptions.
Oh, and for the "struggle songs", its something we learnt from Zimbabwe during the struggle against apartheid (the Zimbabweans had songs fighting for liberation). We call it "toyi-toyi"... Thats different from the song and dance in weddings etc.
We herd our own cattle so we consume our own we know the difference between cattle, goat and sheep, if you get cows ovals being white than they are spoiled. South Africa doesn't have a culture ? For real or slip up Foot soldiers, our soldiers used to walk to Tanzania
It's inadequate and inappropriate to put an entire African country under one umbrella as each sub culture has its own distinctions, I hope you get me. Its like saying African culture and not differentiating between Ghanian and Ethiopian cultures, for example.
South Africans are confrontational. Look at how the whites can easily take on the talkative Malema, black on black on blacks, especially about the country. Sans take country matters personal ( On Parliament)
I think your should be very careful of your Question especially culture it can put you in trouble . culture things here it can be sensitive , respect other not question
I believe if you are a Nigerian you have no right to be publicly asking whys. In Nigeria there are many whys, eg why do your pm Tinubu not qualified for his job?

I am South African living in Canada, and you will never see or hear me complaining about Canada. Of course there are things I dont like about Canada, but as a guest here, I am respectful to their laws, customs, and culture. However, I find most Africans, especially Nigerians are EXTREMELY disrespectful about South African way of life. And instead of answering politely, they get defensive. If they dont like SA that much or find our ways weird, they can kindly go back home
Black tripe is nicer... Y'all don't walk/hike? Music and dancing, it's just in our DNA 🤣 Blankets: I don't know how to answer this Point of order ma'am 😅in formal assemblies like parliament or public debates you can't be raising your hand to speak and you can't also just interject innit? So... Point of order is how you bring the house's attention to a violation or something. These are all normal things to us so it makes me wonder what other parts of the world are like, I can't imagine life without any of these things.
I thinks that's the beauty of exploring cultures, realizing that your normal is very different from someone elses. It makes one more curious about the world and more respectful of others. Yoh we walk out of necessity but I just find that South Africans enjoy it waaaaaaay more than us. Like its a thing here. Thanks for taking time to watch and respond I appreciate it 🙏🤗

If you really serious about learning about our culture I suggest you visit the museum so you can get the answers you need sis thanks for your interest ❤
Dancing and singing is in our blood, it just happened, even during apartheid years dancing and singing were part of the struggle.
It's pleasing to watch! 😆
I think black tripe is the best tasting type as long its thoroughly rinsed and no small stones or grains of sand in it
As for walking long distance it's therapeutic, sometimes i leave my car to think deep by taking a walk
Then dancing part well its how we are whether present day SA ,apartheid SA, or Zulus going to war during Shaka era it psyche us up, so i think dancing is just in our DNA
Blanket part symbolises from girl to woman , motherhood, and maturity too
Great answers, I'm learning. Thanks 😊
Why nigerians always why Southafrican this sans that noo man
South Ah's are magic, we are always in sync when it comes to any kind of gathering, we don't practise are just click like that
😂😂😂, most of these songs are created there and then, on/at the moment. ❤❤❤.
As south African we think differently and see things differently than the central African..our short distance can be your long distance like the city of tshwane you can work it all by one day what because we where there before all those buildings where there.
Walking long distance:
I would say, Yes there’s a link to history. I want to make an example about the province where you are currently living in (Kwa-Zulu Natal/KZN). There was a King Known as “Shaka” and his predecessors as such. People were without any form of transportation, so moving from one point to another by foot was quite an ideal situation, they had no choice. The Kings were explorers and had to acquire land, so in doing so, they had to move and cover such a long distance along with their followers or people in general. There was a time when the King had to send one of the Chiefs for an errand from KZN to Bulawayo in Zimbabwe, and he had to track. He travelled as if he is just going to buy something to a spaza shop, I mean he never felt the distance even if it was a trip that will cover some days. The Chief went to Bulawayo and came back few days later. So tracking is in our DNA, we can travel by foot for miles, we don’t care. I guess that’s part of the lineage, we took it after our ancestors.
In addition, I don’t want to repeat what my fellow SA indicated in one of the comments, he put it nicely, I just add into what he said, I hope you will understand.
Song & dance in every situation
I would say that’s part of the package of being gifted, can’t explain it further than I did in the 1st part of the video. It is part of our DNA, in every situation we sing & dance, and apply the correct and appropriate moves that fits the situation, not just any move. The value that music and dancing has in our lives as S Africans is magnificent, like, again my fellow commentator has also indicated, it’s not easy to explain this to a foreign person because it requires one to have an experience of it and the background (knowing it by experiencing it, NOT being told)
Lobola Blankets to cover the bride
That is part of the culture, not only the blanket, but also in some certain tribes, the bride will be expected to were specific clothes as well, like the Ndebele tribe, they were certain valuable bits and more.
Point of order, very dramatic situations in parliament
Politicians are very deceptive in nature, they always play poli-tricks, manipulate people unto their advantage, therefore as we have elected the candidates into parliament, we expect them to fight for what we are expecting from the government, (those who are ruling). So if you will be soft, you will not win your point to your advantage. Remember they are elected by us (the public) to be our voice in bringing the government into account since we cannot all be in parliament.
The fighting and struggle that you see is because of standing firm in bringing the government into account.
All the party elected candidates in the parliament have a role to play in making sure that they deliver what they were expected to do as the public mouthpiece. So this drama and chaos is fuelled by defences and putting forward of one’s point, especially when one has to account.
Unfortunately, in other African countries, parliament is just formalities, not a place of real accountability. One cannot stand and accuse OR criticize the President or any Ministerial officer, you only do so because you have already signed your death warrant!! You don’t care what will happen to you.
The history of South Africa did not start during the apartheid era, there were times long before that and apartheid itself did not exist in all parts of South Africa and there were many white South Africans that suffered from it too who got tortured and killed. Apartheid was basically like a cold civil war.
We are spiritual people. Songs feed the spirit, food feed the body
Lovely!
Tripe - it’s the difference between bleached and unbleached. I personally prefer the unbleached. We clean our tripe thoroughly, just not bleached. Chlorine is used to bleach it until it’s white. I can never eat that 🙈🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♀️
Ahhh no we don't bleach with chlorine in Nigeria, just really hot water 😅
@@oyinkanhoney yes that is true you guys use hot water at longer times. That washes away the black stuff which contains a lot of flavour but understandably the texture of the black stuff is really weird. I think you put it well in the video. When I teach my friends from other countries I tell them of mangos, some eat mango with the mango skin and others prefer it without. I personally think mango skin brings sweet and tangy flavours to the mango and others just want the mango flesh which only be sweet only.
Why Nigerians leave their countrie to South Africa, i mean most of African countries love to leave their countries for South Africa, why
Beautiful video
Thanks 😊
1. I grew up eating it like that, and i find it has more flavour when its ‘black’ when its ‘cleaned’ it lacks that dungness.
2. I love walking yoh!!! Its clears my head also the adventure anything is possible on the road
3. wow what a Que, i think its just who we are, we sing when we cannot speak.
4. ???
5. From the time ive know parliament its dramatic… but also its the journalist they choose to show us the crazy side of those adults acting like children
Thanks for taking the time to answer I appreciate it 👌👌👌
The way I hate that white tripe. I thought it was goat tripe. So horrible 😂😂😂😂😂
The three step dance and turning to all four directions of the clock, is popularity done during weddings where everyone joins even the grand pa's and Mama's was popularized during the 90's in an era of transition from apartheid and then it was called (Codesa Google the political history thereof). It just became popular around the country.
White tripe where they even add sheep head and feet is normally Indian and whites who do that and they wash it with Coca Cola. For us blacks naaaah!
Big winter Blackest I also learned that the Zulu and Swati culture do that. The Batswana wear a blue and white on with blue Seshweshwe dress. While Basoth wear blackest all year round its cultural nje.
During funerals they put a blacket over the coffin as in olden days someone would be buried with a cow skin. As modernisation took over cow skin was replaced by a blacket over the coffin ⚰️ the significance thereof I don't know as I am Born Again and I never showed deep interest.
Thank you so much for sharing, this is very insightful and I'm glad to be learning new things😊
The tripe of a cow 🐄 natural when it is dark it shows that the caw was eating natural grass the grass paints the intestines of the cow but with the tripe it stays in the tripe longer i think you know the colour of a cow s excrement , but if the cow is being feed dry grass and some different feeds it tripe will be what you call clean, and at times if you remove the top layer of the tripe the not so dark part appears ,it is clean still even if it is dark provided you cleaned it with tap water or you cleaned it thoroughly.
You're so beautiful african sister, South Africa 🇿🇦 loves you
Thanks my sister, answer to the last question, it is democracy, and it is part of the debate.
I've tested bleach tripe, girl, its tasteless ooo, I prefer our "dirty" triple. In southern Africa that's how it's eaten. There reason you prefer bleach tripe is because you mix it with other meat and vegetables when making your soup. Just imagine eating steam bread with the white sauce 😅😅
Yes definitely, the white tripe absorbs the spices and flavours of our many other ingredients. Steam bread with white tripe sauce is actually so funny 🤣🤣🤣
Black tribe is still clean. It just depends on your preference about how deep clean you want it to be. People in SA prefer it to still have that natural smell. I have seen Chinese also prefer it like that
Yeah true. Oh wow I'm going to research the Chinese use of black tripe, thanks for mentioning. 👍👍👍
There is a saying, 'When Africa is sad, Africa sings. When Africa is happy, Africa sings.'
So we sing and dance. We are Africans like you.
Walking long distance is tiring but it help us to sleep better at night. Is part of exercise 🏃🚶
I need to start doing it 😆
Good content. Curiosity makes us learn each other’s cultures & lifestyles If it’s done respectfully then it’s a good thing, like you did. I also have many “why’s” about Nigeria
1) Why do you guys like wearing sandals every time?
2) I see Nigeria is full of market places selling food. How sure are you guys of the cleanliness and hygiene of food sold there, especially meat because it’s so sensitive? The meat sometimes has flies on it. Doesn’t Nigeria have municipal by laws & health inspectors to regulate food marketplaces?
3) There is over 500 native languages in Nigeria. Does it mean an average Nigerian has to be fluent in most of them?
4) Why employ a gate men in residential houses, when there is electric gates, CCTV cameras and alarm systems?
5) How come Nigerians always seem loud and confrontational? Always ready to “put you in your place” 😂 I also saw this on Big Brother Nigeria.
6) What’s up with the walking stick all of a sudden when a man is rich? Is it a status thing?
Hi there. Let me address the point on why we trek long distances etc. There is actually a reason that has to do with our past; it was called "Apartheid Spatial Planning"- what it means is that the government regulated who lived where in relation to economic opportunity and is was based on race. So White ppl were allocated land near to financial or industrial centres and then a bit further away you had Indian and Coloured people and furthest would be Black people (generally, sometimes the Coloured or Indian community will be further). So the basic structure was that you had a white urban centre and then a few townships surrounding it to serve as labour reserves.
Worst of all, for a long time Black people were not allowed in the CBD after a certain time so they had to only come in for work and leave to Black areas immediately afterwards (it was usually far enough that you cant cause trouble easily but near enough to allow for the trains and buses to get you to work).
Hope that helps
This is a brilliant response, this concept applies to Namibia as well. Till this day.
Very helpful answer. I'm always eager about new cultures and I appreciate people like you who take their time to answer instead of bashing. Thanks for being here 🤗
Insightful 👌
@Oyinkan Honey: U THE ONLY NIGERIAN LADY I LOVE
Our mogodu is the same for all tribes unless by choice one decide to wash it until it's white
Oh thanks for helping me clarify 👌
You Are Beautiful 👑💯♥️ U Better Not Walk Anywhere A Queen Has Transportation 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣
Lmao a passenger princess any day. But for real I need to start getting my daily steps in 😅
In europe ppl walk a lot especially London!!! Its good 4ur heart general health & circulation!!!
I had a colleque who asked why South African don't eat rice like west Africans,
Well we are not a rice growing region and we were not colonized by rice eating people
Like me I use walking as part of my physical training or my health
I sincerely need to discipline myself and start doing this💯👍
@@oyinkanhoney it helps there's much difference on your health
❤
In south Africa 🇿🇦 we are the same
I'm not sure were you bought your tripe, but like chicken feet some stores will sell the clean and unclean chicken feet. The cleaned feet would have the yellow skin lining intact and the clean would mean it's peeled-off. Now with tripe, you can still buy both the "black" and the "white" (cleaned and not cleaned). The cleaned one would usually cost a bit more than the non-clean. The "white would usually be Lamb or Goat tribe and the "black" would be cow tripe(I'm not sure if it's the first or second stomach). I mean, some stores sell diced butternut and so much. Otherwise, in this country, we eat the whole cow, head-to-toe.
Awesome 👌
I also know that Lamb has white tripe, then a Cow has Black tripe in colour.
even in protest South Africans will still sing
It's quite encouraging honestly 👌
Beautiful Queen 👸 ❤
🙏🤗
Black tripe is more sweet as long as is clean clean .
Can u do a video about dog markets in nigeria
There is such a nauseating / unpleasant competitive debate between Nigeria and South Africa. I believe every Nation has its own culture. In a multicultural society, each part of the caltural society practice its own culture differently. Sometimes it's not even a question of cultural practice, but an individual practice style of doing things. This should not be generalized as a South African culture. We all know that every Country has different culture, different people with different characters and different cultural practices. In a Democratic society like South Africa, there is a Bill of Rights which explains individual rights and the protection of those rights. People have a right of choice, religious belief etc. All those rights are constitutionally protected. For as long as the exercising of your right does not infringe upon the rights of others. Now I have been watching with dismay, the debate and the Competition between South Africa and Nigeria. I am a South African and I believe both Countries have a lot to offer. Good and law abiding Nigerians come to South Africa with good intentions. That is acceptable. But there are those terrible Nigerians who will come to South Africa with bad intentions. We all know that one rotten potato spoil the whole bag. Where such incidents occur, people are not going to individualise the situation, but generalise. For instance, how many countries in the World are sceptical of granting Nigerians a Visa? There are so many. How many Nigerians with the Country's population of over 200 million people, have left Nigeria for greener pastures. How many Countries in the World have greener pastures? Those are questions to be asked before a person leaves his country searching for greener pastures. The reputation of your country comes first before trying to play patriotism with everybody. Build your country first before criticizing others. One thing I am proud of being a South African is that even when the going is tough, they will stay and join hands to fix their problems with their government.
So are you saying what you heard in this video is criticism?
Point of order is not stupid it means you have something to say LEARN don't be ignorant like other foreigners
If you can point me to where it was referred to as stupid in the video I might pay you some attention
I stayed in London for 5yrs we walk a lot to go everywhere.
South Africa would no owe you any explanation
Nigeria and South Africa are two independent countries with different cultures
My sister, you really have a serious problem with South Africans. Every video you do makes it very clear
WTF 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why can't they just go home
@GrumpyTinashe you must also go back to 🇿🇼
If that's what you see, then you need help somewhere. Don't bring this energy here please, find somebody else.
@@oyinkanhoney Just go back to Nigeria guys we really tired of you pretending to be genuine
In KZN we also not call it Mogodu, we call it Umgxabhiso...Mogodu is a Sesotho term
In KZN it is not umgxabhiso but usu , umgxbhiso is anything that is boiled since ukugxabha is boil.
@@bonganibophela2819 that big box we buy at Chester Butcheries filled with a mix of usu, ithumbu, usnyaka etc we cook/boil that , and that is specifically called Umgxabhiso nothing else...atleast in the Durban area where I am from
@@1HourOf. Maybe you say that I stayed in Durban as well but its either "usu" as specific or "inyama yangaphakathi" if its tripe and intestines.
In Zulu it's Usu or inyama yangaphakathi. Umgxabhiso referes to any boiled meat.
Oh thanks! I learn everyday 😄👌
Dem girl you so gorgeours❤
😊🙏
White tripe is tasteless. I remember seeing it in Mexico when i lived there. It looked like a piece of cloth. 😂😂😂. There flavour came from the herbs and spices thwy put not the actual meat.
South Africans are not afraid to embrace their culture, hence we speak our mother tongues. Whereas most African countries shy away from their cultures and mother tongues, especially the more educated thwy are.
I need you to try white tripe in Nigerian soup, I really hope you enjoy it. Too delicious. But honestly mogodu is yummy 😆😆😆
If there's one thing African countries can learn from SA, it's to embrace the beauty of our languages l.
Thanks for responding 😆🤗
do the nigerian government build houses for poor people ,what about pension fund,unemployement fund road accident fund i wish to know
please talk about that on the next video
Wrt drama in parliament...
#Parlie is basically where we make laws, so as a rainbow nation not always we'd want the same thing hence the drama (but MPs are protected, the drama u see is supposed to end inside th walls of parliament) unlike all whites/blacks parliament the law making process is a bit difficult whn blacks, Indians, coloureds & whites hav to represent their own needs
# regarding every event being represented by a songs,
The black is the flavour
what are you using for your hair?
We walk as kids and it kinda sticks
Why do South Africans not attack people of other countries. It is getting out of control. I am one of the people who never critisize other people from other countries but I am getting tired of how people don't understand West Africa and South Africa are completely different regions af there is no reason to be critical
Blanket. You're now part of our family, you even have a blanket here.
A wife is to withstand the heat of marriage + raising a video & she is to cover herself at all times
Only finding out today that there’s clean tripe and dirty tripe
why didn't u ask your friend about the blanket ?
Indians clean their tripe. We a Zulu tribe don't take away the nutrition away from this delicious meat
The nutrition? 😆😅
I didn’t have “clean”tripe until I lived in the US and Mexicans call it menudo. No lie I didn’t like it. It was way too clean it lost color and taste.
Oh wow that's interesting. I guess we just get used to the tastes we grew up with. Wishing you all the best in the US 😆🤗

Hahaha funny because I even mentioned your name in the video 😅❤️

Just think if you wash tripe too much the test go away.
but Nigeria people also walk
Why "japa" is a trend in nigeria
🇿🇦👋🏾Hi mam. Without being too long. What kind of state is Nigeria 🇳🇬 (socialist, communist or capitalist)? I'm curious without being political.
I'm sorry I couldn't help it 💔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭 I'm looking for the truth I don't like to make false perceptions.
Why all Africans come 2SA !!! Make a video about dat
Oh, and for the "struggle songs", its something we learnt from Zimbabwe during the struggle against apartheid (the Zimbabweans had songs fighting for liberation). We call it "toyi-toyi"...
Thats different from the song and dance in weddings etc.

Foot soldiers, our soldiers used to walk to Tanzania
It's inadequate and inappropriate to put an entire African country under one umbrella as each sub culture has its own distinctions, I hope you get me. Its like saying African culture and not differentiating between Ghanian and Ethiopian cultures, for example.
@@oyinkanhoney dont understand what you saying are you responding to my comment?
What i can tell you my sister is that no psychiatrist can deal with our madness. SA is not a country, it's an amphitheater with mad performers.
🤣🤣🤣
South Africans are confrontational. Look at how the whites can easily take on the talkative Malema, black on black on blacks, especially about the country. Sans take country matters personal ( On Parliament)
I think your should be very careful of your Question especially culture it can put you in trouble . culture things here it can be sensitive , respect other not question
I believe if you are a Nigerian you have no right to be publicly asking whys. In Nigeria there are many whys, eg why do your pm Tinubu not qualified for his job?

I am South African living in Canada, and you will never see or hear me complaining about Canada. Of course there are things I dont like about
Canada, but as a guest here, I am respectful to their laws, customs, and culture. However, I find most Africans, especially Nigerians are EXTREMELY disrespectful about South African way of life. And instead of answering politely, they get defensive. If they dont like SA that much or find our ways weird, they can kindly go back home

Point of order ma'am 😅in formal assemblies like parliament or public debates you can't be raising your hand to speak and you can't also just interject innit? So... Point of order is how you bring the house's attention to a violation or something.
These are all normal things to us so it makes me wonder what other parts of the world are like, I can't imagine life without any of these things.
I thinks that's the beauty of exploring cultures, realizing that your normal is very different from someone elses. It makes one more curious about the world and more respectful of others.
Yoh we walk out of necessity but I just find that South Africans enjoy it waaaaaaay more than us. Like its a thing here.
