The influence is undeniable, and many African nations embrace diverse cultural influences. Let's focus on appreciating the beauty he showcased rather than nitpicking semantics.
Surprise some? That won't surprise anybody. What's so special about it? Did Namibia's European-German aesthetic surprise him too? Which African country has no European influences?

Hi Steven, you are doing very commendable work. One can understand that your intentions were well-meaning. At the same time, there is also valid feedback from all the comments so far and I hope you pay attention to them.
As an African I am little disappointed by how you portray everything nice as European.Its like you were trying to say Cape Verde is too good to be African hence your heading.I understand the history but you can still appreciate the country as an African country with its own uniqueness
Right? I am so tired of those titles "Can you believe this is Africa"...jeez...stop already...can he just stop projecting his own ignorance on others..
This should be a learning moment for Steven. I understand the UA-cam system of trying to get traffic but cape Verde should be portrayed as African. People will still watch the video. An headline of Africa's hidden gem would have been better.
I mean Africa is typically portrayed in the media as “undeveloped” and “third world” so whenever people portray it how it as nice and beautiful it’s equated to Europe which is generally just more developed. It’s not really a fault of racism or anything against Africa but more just ignorance
@@ryonworthy7990 yeah im not denying that, im just saying people don’t know about that stuff which leads to people who believe Africa is underdeveloped
My home land is so unique 🫀💙🤍!!! So it doesn't feel like europe or anywhere! It’s feel like Cape Verde, and it’s that! We are so unique and particular. Just enjoy Kiss 😘 🇨🇻🇨🇻
As a born and raised Caboverdiano ! Thank u very much for this beautiful video... That said! i really dont like the title !! We are a beautiful AFRICAN country a little bit outside of Africa. We fought for our independence for a reason! We consider ourself africans and nothing else! Being watching your content for a while and yes its top notch !!
Would like to read more of your country’s histories over the centuries in any language. Newspapers that cover local people’s interests. Any official government sites that outreach to citizens of Cape Verde. Any books that cover the history of the languages that were/ are specific to the country. Also any that discuss life and language prior to or at the time the Portuguese came. Any other peoples are known to influenced the history and culture of these islands.
Being Cape Verdean, this vlog brings me a mix of emotions - happiness yet a sense of discomfort. It disheartens me to see everything from Cape Verde being labeled 'European' as if it's a mark of quality meant to attract tourists. Why can't we embrace and take pride in our African roots instead of attaching a European label to it? Our culture is rich, diverse, and uniquely ours; it should be celebrated as African, not overshadowed by a European narrative. Let's honor our heritage with the pride it deserves.
@@StevenNdukwu oh no need to apologise. I just hope that people embrace Cabo Verde as an African country. I hope you had a great time in Cabo Verde. 👍🏾
@@Osaze_ab so why judges and legal practitioners in courts adorn wig and gown? how did they ended up speaking english? how come they practice a european religion? should I go on?
As a Cape Verdean, I am very happy to see your video about Cape Verde, as our country is not well known among our brothers in Africa. I always say that we should attract more people from our continent to visit us. What I didn't like is the comparison with Europe. Africa is beautiful and we are more than happy to be african.
@@stoleethatsme YES it is! And if u still in doubt go see it on the map… and if that’s not enough than come around and see how we are treated by the European.
Welcome to Cape Verde: Where Cultures Collide and Your Gateway to Business Innovation Embark on a journey of discovery to the hidden gem of Cape Verde. Tucked away off the coast of West Africa, Cape Verde beckons with its unspoiled beaches, vibrant culture, and inviting atmosphere. Explore the charming streets of historic towns, immerse yourself in the rhythm of local music and dance, or simply unwind on pristine shores lapped by crystal-clear waters.
I take it you've never heard of Wode Maya? He's been traveling and showing the beauty of Africa for years and has over 1.5million subscribers, check him out.
That's just your ignorance and inferiority complex. The country does actually look like Europe. Not because it's "good" but because they used the same city planning and architectural styles as Portugal.
@@diogobezerra467 Have you ever been to Cape Verde? Because if you have, you wouldn't be babbling ignorantly like this. And yes, they are parts of Luanda that look very European.

@@diogobezerra467 How could someone look at a drone video of Maputo or Luanda and say that it looks like Lisbon? I don't know why Africans always argue so blindly.
People will do anything, bring down their own people to get ahead. This has been happening for years. Thats how the European nations have been able to take over and colonize many continents.

@@kingtutsirai994 bad idea, there are not enough jobs for locals in cape verde (it is an underdevelopped country with few opportunities) so it is not a good idea to have foreigners come to occupy jobs that could be occupied by capeverdeans. It is better to move to Canada, USA, UK, Ireland and EU because they look for foreign workforce.
Carbo Verde is a beautiful West African country. The former governor of Edo State in Nigeria 🇳🇬 married a very young and beautiful Cape Verde lady, that caused a lot of controversies years back.❤❤❤
You will! We your sisters and brothers from Cape Verde are very proud of what you are doing overthere in your country Burkina Faso for your country and Africa as whole ❤
Steven you always out do yourself Cape Verde is so beautiful, the video quality is top notch. The story about the Frying pan is so sad and heartbreaking. Thank you Steven you too much
Ive always had a soft spot for cabo verde ever since I started enjoying the music of Cesaria Evora , amazing traditional musical culture of morna and coladeira. That unique mix of portuguese criol and african beats is something to behold!
Africa is diverse simple….it doesn’t need a European label to make it good…just be proud of our rich heritage…you don’t go to Portugal and see the Moorish architecture and say oh this is so African….i have said enough….
I loved this episode the history ,the architecture, the people ,the food and the cinematography ,it is so perfect ,love from 🇹🇿 will sure visit the village ❤❤❤
Nice, I love Biafra. You are welcomed to come to cape Verde. I saw videos with magnificent mansions in Nigeria, is it possible for Nigerians to come to cape Verde to built the same kind of millionnaire luxury mansions? In Airbnb they can be rented to European tourists for 1000 EUR per day.
It always amazes me when the locals say stuff like "They don't know we exist", "The Africa they don't want you to see", etc. It's 2024, not 1964. People are traveling, vlogging, blogging & the info is available @ our fingertips.
Was there in December its like my country in the caribbean and our language is almost similar ...Had a very good time there. I even planning to move there in September, currently I live in Gambia
Stories of slavery will always make you remember the pain our ancestors passed through for us the generation to have a wonderful and beautiful life to live.

Africa is Africa must not be compared with Europe.Africa is blessed 😇 even European know that.there’s no Europe in Africa.Africa is blessed with everything 🙌🏾
Yeah hey i just wonder until when everything that is beautiful in Africa must give praises to the European that's why the Europeans think they own us we don't belong to them and never we belong to mother Africa ❤️🇿🇦
@lolicon4 The reason why many migrate is because there are more monetary opportunities. If many of these countries provided the same financial opportunities that are in the west,many people would never migrate to the UK, USA, Canada or Europe Many are leaving beautiful countries,lovely climates,great food and amazing culture to migrate..its literally for material opportunities
Exploring a new destination brings a renewed sense of hope to life. Discovering something new fills us with pleasure and happiness. It's truly a beautiful nation, where people proudly uphold their culture while embracing the world beyond. Thank you Steven Ndukwu made this video for sharing such a wonderful experience.
I was watching the video on a television where I couldn’t read the comments. I had to use my phone to see if anyone commented about that insensitive moment where he laughed about someone surviving for 2 days. To say the least, I was disappointed.
That was very insensitive, I would think he knows better and to the Lady/Guide, those prisoners are the reason why you can walk around free today and have an opinion.
Most Africans minds are still colonized, even as they try to look down on us in the USA. But, that's the trick of "Psychological Colonization" to look down on another group of Black people, to be looked at more favorably by Europeans....
Lol, they are very attractive when they are young but from the videos I watched they did not age well, once they hit the wall they are average ''mama'' (and capeverdean woman have reputation to be highly skilled at nagging their man)

I knew about Cape Verde in the 2013 AFCON, I have always wonder how beautiful that place must be, seeing the beautiful Cape Verde ladies in 2024 AFCON explains a lot, now this vid explains more... Thank you for this Steve
I am dissapointed that you have to put this title on your video and why Cape Verde needs to be “portrayed as European look alike” no…. Cape Verde is not European, it is Cabo Verde. It has 10 islands and all of them have their uniqueness. Actually they have it all…. mountains, nature, city life, dunes, desert, beautiful beaches…. Cape Verde is a gem, Cape Verde has beautiful people, Cape Verde as the best weather, no malaria, no dengue, no mandatory vaccines… and please don’t only go to all inclusive hotels…. rent a small hotel, an apartment, food is relatively cheap and you experience the real traveling. I will always remember the words of my friend Kaka from the island of Maio. Gracia don’t go to a AI or very touristy island, because you will always be with europeans. he was right
U are right but u have to understand Africans bcz CNN and BBC didn’t show African beauty they always hide an peoples allover the world believe that Africa has nothing
Cabo Verde, an awesome place but invaded by European tourists not because the locals don't care but for the VD under the sun. Now the situation is that they can control the country by money right? That's the F*cking game! And create business, build hotels etc. The power of money by the West! So why Africans didn't invest there and tourists come there before the West instead to go in European countries all the time for fun? So dear Africans as an African I tell you: don't cry and blame our bro if he puts down a satirical title that makes sense! Is the volume right? By the way, good sensibilisation bro for the majority of our brothers being always in the darkness of our resources in africa 😉! I was passing by🚣♀️
Africa is extremely beautiful… if we can explore and develop our resources, cub insecurities, and tell more stories like this to the world, we would have the Europeans rushing in to our continent . Cape verd is top on my travel list!! And yes I don’t plan to travel there with any lady… If you know 😅😅 Love your content Steve ❤
I was rooting for Cape Verde in past AFCON tournament, they were fantastic in the group stages and scored some screamers. Now i get to see where all that talent comes from, thanks alot bro and if you see Bebe tell him he's a baller 😅
Hi Steven! Cape Verde ranks number 1 among all African portuguese countries: Angola, Mozambique, Guinea, Sao Tome... and it is due to good governance. Well done Cape Verde. Greetings from Angola
@@lolicon4No we are not Portuguese country. We were colonized with meant stolen and brutalized. You are very arrogant stupid and ignorant to think that is good thing. We are not Portuguese country but are African country! Africa is going to be great as a whole continent as one despite colonization continuing neocolonization.
Very insightful film! Many thanks for sharing this. The horrors of the "Slow Death Camp" are etched in history. Mosquitoes relentlessly tormented the prisoners, while doctors served as grim harbingers of death, not healers. These brave souls, politicians who dared to defy colonial rule, endured unimaginable suffering for a better future. Their stories deserve to be known. #Frigideira Confining these political prisoners to sweltering, airless rooms or cages under the scorching sun goes beyond cruelty. Laughing about this from @25:57 appears a mockery of their sacrifice. These 2,824 individuals faced horrific deaths in the pursuit of freedom. May their memories be a blessing. Amen. #RIP

This is ABSOLUTELY a GREAT video Steven. Thank you for showing us this GORGEOUS gem in AFRICA 🎆💕
Cape verde is beautiful and never knew its visa free for West Africans❤..they people re friendly
Cape Verde is west Africa and west Africa have a union.
Yes, we are part of the Ecowas
my friend. know your area please. also go open a restaurant and sell cape verde fish and support them.
Nigerians will ruin it
@@kingtutsirai994 bad idea, there are not enough jobs for locals in cape verde (it is an underdevelopped country with few opportunities) so it is not a good idea to have foreigners come to occupy jobs that could be occupied by capeverdeans. It is better to move to Canada, USA, UK, Ireland and EU because they look for foreign workforce.
I've been waiting for this Cabo Verde🇨🇻 for a long time now. I have to say Steven Ndukwu you never disappoint. Topnotch quality video ❤
More to come!
Dawg you can see where we Caribbean people came from Africa so beautiful
Carbo Verde is a beautiful West African country. The former governor of Edo State in Nigeria 🇳🇬 married a very young and beautiful Cape Verde lady, that caused a lot of controversies years back.❤❤❤
I think it’s Ethiopia lady
@@peter-hx6oeNo. She's Cape Verden.
One day I will try to travel to this beautiful country. Much love from Burkina Faso 🇧🇫♥️
I hope so too!
You will! We your sisters and brothers from Cape Verde are very proud of what you are doing overthere in your country Burkina Faso for your country and Africa as whole ❤
Luv S/o Burkina Faso Sum Of Our Ancestors Migrated From There Togo Benin Liberia 💙✌🏿
one of the best videos I have seen for years. So well done
I just watched three of your videos and I love them Bro. Keep exploring Africa and show it off to the world. We are beautiful!
Steven you always out do yourself
Cape Verde is so beautiful, the video quality is top notch.
The story about the Frying pan is so sad and heartbreaking.
Thank you Steven you too much
The title of this post is just rooted in a colonized mindset.
Exactly, as his fan extremely disappointing!
@@Melanated4ever he lost fans w/ this title; guys an idiotic, European boot-licking lover
Nigerians love white’s thats why🤦🏾♂️
slave mentality!
Change the title Steven
I've been to Cabo Verde once and it was one of my best trips ever. Kind people, beautiful landscapes, delicious food!
So good!
Ive always had a soft spot for cabo verde ever since I started enjoying the music of Cesaria Evora , amazing traditional musical culture of morna and coladeira. That unique mix of portuguese criol and african beats is something to behold!
Woooow! Giving me chills great cinematography buddy
Thanks a ton!
gotta visit cape verde @african tigress. COME back to Africa and represent.
Africa is diverse simple….it doesn’t need a European label to make it good…just be proud of our rich heritage…you don’t go to Portugal and see the Moorish architecture and say oh this is so African….i have said enough….
it is european
beautiful video as always. some pple made strong observations, hope you've been attentive.
What a beautiful island.,,now on my bucket list
Love from 🇳🇬
From Nigeria the Fulanis zombies Republic 🧟♂️

Your videos are always top-notch! Thank you Bro!
I appreciate that!
❤I'm in love with this beautiful country already. Can't wait to visit
I started watching around 23k views now am done watching around 26k views, you rock man, welldone
Wao added in my list of my tourism destination, sending love from Biafra Nigeria.
Nice, I love Biafra. You are welcomed to come to cape Verde.
I saw videos with magnificent mansions in Nigeria, is it possible for Nigerians to come to cape Verde to built the same kind of millionnaire luxury mansions? In Airbnb they can be rented to European tourists for 1000 EUR per day.
Awesome! Thank you!
@@michaelmatisse2808 possible? Waoo!
Biafra don't exist tho.
@@Osaze_ab doesn't exist in your brain,
It always amazes me when the locals say stuff like "They don't know we exist", "The Africa they don't want you to see", etc. It's 2024, not 1964. People are traveling, vlogging, blogging & the info is available @ our fingertips.
Agreed. When ANYONE says that. It's also a bit egotistical. Most people DON'T CARE that you exist. They're simply getting on with their OWN lives.
Africa is so beautiful and diverse.
Our beautiful Africa!
Was there in December its like my country in the caribbean and our language is almost similar ...Had a very good time there. I even planning to move there in September, currently I live in Gambia
ARE youbfrom Curaçao? Because paiamentos and Cabo creoles similar
@@MissCriticizer yes I am from Curacao
@SilverliningF.Do you live there if so for sure I will reach out
@SilverliningF. Yes I would like to have friends there.
U Should Definitely Come And Stay Here My Mom From Curaçao My Dad From Here Badiw From Praia You'll Adapt So Fast We Are One...
I came early today 💃💃💃💃,cape verde is so beautiful like OMG😱😱.Sir Steven thank you so much for this 👏👏
The home of Cesaria Evora...my beloved songstress ❤❤❤❤....watching from South Africa❤❤❤.
West Africa is beautiful
Stories of slavery will always make you remember the pain our ancestors passed through for us the generation to have a wonderful and beautiful life to live.
Man I’m just blown away, AMAZING 😮
Je ne savais pas que cap-vert 🇨🇻 était dans la CEDEAO 🫣. J’ai récemment découvert le cap vert lors de la CAN en Côte d’Ivoire je croyais que c’était un pays du Maghréb😝 hors que c’est en Afrique de l’Ouest je croyais pas. Dans les prochaines années je pense voyager et mieux connaître ce pays qui a eu les mêmes ancêtres que moi ❤
Beautiful content my brother. Keep motivating us. Much love love from South Africa, Benoni
Africa is Africa must not be compared with Europe.Africa is blessed 😇 even European know that.there’s no Europe in Africa.Africa is blessed with everything 🙌🏾
Yeah hey i just wonder until when everything that is beautiful in Africa must give praises to the European that's why the Europeans think they own us we don't belong to them and never we belong to mother Africa ❤️🇿🇦
why do you hate Europe but you migrate here?
@lolicon4
The reason why many migrate is because there are more monetary opportunities.
If many of these countries provided the same financial opportunities that are in the west,many people would never migrate to the UK, USA, Canada or Europe
Many are leaving beautiful countries,lovely climates,great food and amazing culture to migrate..its literally for material opportunities
@@sabelohlatshwayo 🫶🏼🫶🏼
So true. Africa for Africans.
All the Europeans escape their shitty cold weather and try to label Cabo Verde as "European" lol. white people..
Steven!!!!!! #YoureBack....❤
I never went anywhere
Thanks a lot for taking me to Cape Verde. I am hopeful to visit one day. Stay Blessed! 🙏
Beautiful Africa. Thank you for sharing
Cape verde near nigeria and ghana. It will take long time but one day all of africa will be rich.
Keep dreaming; afica can not to get rid of corrupt politicians.
Exploring a new destination brings a renewed sense of hope to life. Discovering something new fills us with pleasure and happiness. It's truly a beautiful nation, where people proudly uphold their culture while embracing the world beyond. Thank you Steven Ndukwu made this video for sharing such a wonderful experience.
I must visit the beauty.
This country looks beautiful. I would love to visit and learn its culture! Much love from 🇺🇲
I think laughing at the prisoners for the length they survived in the camp was quite insensitive.
Hello I liked all untill that part where both are laughing about it ,same on both of them.
I was watching the video on a television where I couldn’t read the comments. I had to use my phone to see if anyone commented about that insensitive moment where he laughed about someone surviving for 2 days. To say the least, I was disappointed.
BEYOND insensitive.. I was mortified..
That was very insensitive, I would think he knows better and to the Lady/Guide, those prisoners are the reason why you can walk around free today and have an opinion.
I felt shame as an African having two young Africans laughing hard at death. Shame on them!
Damn..... you truly understand your craft. Saluteeeeee
Seriously! Your mind is still Colonized .
Most Africans minds are still colonized, even as they try to look down on us in the USA. But, that's the trick of "Psychological Colonization" to look down on another group of Black people, to be looked at more favorably by Europeans....
Yes!
Yup it’s digusting
Nigerians are heavily colonized
Im sure it’s even more insulting how he likes all the comments that are complaining 😂. The never of this coward
Very Nice. Really Big Things are happening & will continue to go all In ALL of Africa
Boss always anticipating to your notification.
The beautiful gyals them i saw at afcon was all i needed to know that Cape Verde is now my dream place
😂😂 same bro
Me too
These "gyals" are belong to SampaJew ethnicity, they do not consider themselves to be Africans and are racist against Afro-Cape Verdeans.
Lol, they are very attractive when they are young but from the videos I watched they did not age well, once they hit the wall they are average ''mama'' (and capeverdean woman have reputation to be highly skilled at nagging their man)
These "gyals" are belong to SampaJew ethnicity, they do not consider themselves to be Africans and are raysist against Afro-Cape Verdeans.
00:28 I'm watching frm 🇳🇦.I thank you Steve to show us Cape Verde,this is an amazing Ireland 🇮🇪. I love it and you are inspired me to know such as a beautiful place. So soooooooo nice. 👋👋👋👋🇳🇦
Hello! Ndukwu well done.Welcome to visit beautiful country Burundi where there is garden of Eden 🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮
Incredible adventure for you Steven. A trip to Cape Verde also Known as Cabo Verde 🇨🇻
Looks like a place to put on our list, enjoyed watching. Great quality video. Love from Barbados ❤
Thanks for watching!
I'm from South Africa and never knew Cape Verde looks like this. I however wanna see indigenous people and their lives and that's where I would rather visit. I love your Channel. Really love Cape verdean Life
We don’t have indigenous here, we are simple Cape Verdean. To let u know majority of us are a mix race population around 77-78 % of us. There is pure black Cape Verdean which is 19%of us too, and then small percentage of white/árabes Jews people.

There's alot amazing in this African country..i die to visit one day..too natural mama Africa.. Thank @steven ndukwu
I knew about Cape Verde in the 2013 AFCON, I have always wonder how beautiful that place must be, seeing the beautiful Cape Verde ladies in 2024 AFCON explains a lot, now this vid explains more... Thank you for this Steve
You only consider them beautiful because they're mixed.
Obvious colourism
I am dissapointed that you have to put this title on your video and why Cape Verde needs to be “portrayed as European look alike” no…. Cape Verde is not European, it is Cabo Verde. It has 10 islands and all of them
have their uniqueness. Actually they have it all…. mountains, nature, city life, dunes, desert, beautiful beaches…. Cape Verde is a gem, Cape Verde has beautiful people, Cape Verde as the best weather, no malaria, no dengue, no mandatory vaccines… and please don’t only go to all inclusive hotels…. rent a small hotel, an apartment, food is relatively cheap and you experience the real traveling. I will always remember the words of my friend Kaka from the island of Maio. Gracia don’t go to a AI or very touristy island, because you will always be with europeans. he was right
U are right but u have to understand Africans bcz CNN and BBC didn’t show African beauty they always hide an peoples allover the world believe that Africa has nothing
Cabo Verde, an awesome place but invaded by European tourists not because the locals don't care but for the VD under the sun. Now the situation is that they can control the country by money right? That's the F*cking game! And create business, build hotels etc. The power of money by the West!
So why Africans didn't invest there and tourists come there before the West instead to go in European countries all the time for fun?
So dear Africans as an African I tell you: don't cry and blame our bro if he puts down a satirical title that makes sense! Is the volume right?
By the way, good sensibilisation bro for the majority of our brothers being always in the darkness of our resources in africa 😉!
I was passing by🚣♀️
@@juliaogandaga3802 its was not invaded by europeans, it was created by them the portuguese
Africa is extremely beautiful… if we can explore and develop our resources, cub insecurities, and tell more stories like this to the world, we would have the Europeans rushing in to our continent . Cape verd is top on my travel list!! And yes I don’t plan to travel there with any lady… If you know 😅😅 Love your content Steve ❤
I was rooting for Cape Verde in past AFCON tournament, they were fantastic in the group stages and scored some screamers. Now i get to see where all that talent comes from, thanks alot bro and if you see Bebe tell him he's a baller 😅
Couldn't agree more
Hi Steven!
Cape Verde ranks number 1 among all African portuguese countries: Angola, Mozambique, Guinea, Sao Tome... and it is due to good governance.
Well done Cape Verde.
Greetings from Angola
They are not Portuguese , they are African.
@@faa9261but they are ex-portuguese. also, as a European, i don't see negative effects of colonization.
thats cos you are a european and ont see anything, many negative effects@@lolicon4
@@lolicon4No we are not Portuguese country. We were colonized with meant stolen and brutalized. You are very arrogant stupid and ignorant to think that is good thing. We are not Portuguese country but are African country! Africa is going to be great as a whole continent as one despite colonization continuing neocolonization.
Thank you for showcasing my country!! 🇨🇻🔥
Which your country? You're a White man, we don't have White in West Africa
Which your country? We don't have White in West Africa

I was born and raised in cabo verde.i learned alot from your videos
Great content 💜💜🎉
This documentary is solidddddd by far!!!
Very insightful film! Many thanks for sharing this.
The horrors of the "Slow Death Camp" are etched in history. Mosquitoes relentlessly tormented the prisoners, while doctors served as grim harbingers of death, not healers. These brave souls, politicians who dared to defy colonial rule, endured unimaginable suffering for a better future. Their stories deserve to be known. #Frigideira
Confining these political prisoners to sweltering, airless rooms or cages under the scorching sun goes beyond cruelty.
Laughing about this from @25:57 appears a mockery of their sacrifice.
These 2,824 individuals faced horrific deaths in the pursuit of freedom. May their memories be a blessing. Amen. #RIP
Beautiful I didn’t know it existed thank you for sharing the beautiful country love from somaliland and Atlanta GA👏👏👏👍
