Inside Africa's Most Feared Ghetto🇺🇬
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лип 2024
- 🇺🇬 Part One: Whilst visiting Kampala, the capital city of Uganda I took a visit to the central market and met a collective of guys who look after an area called the Bermuda Triangle. They took me on a tour and explained exactly what happens when thieves are caught. Mob justice Uganda style. Join me in the ghetto.

Enjoying your stuff more and more. I love how you can switch hats to talk to different people, be sweet to kindness (like with children asking for money) and then quick and sharp to defend yourself from uncomfortable situations. That's a real craft. Looking forward to what's coming soon! Saludos desde Berlin

@@CallumSk8er You'd be surprised at what the human body adapts to if needs to.
One of the reasons Bald is so good at this, is his ability to quickly read people and know exactly how to act and speak to make them feel the most comfortable and open up. Whether it’s a taxi driver, a bunch of women cooking, or potential street thugs, he knows how to make friends with them all.
In a different world he could have been a great speaker and life couch lol, kind of like Tommy Robinson.
Brilliant. One of the nail biting best. Hope you and Ben stay safe. 🙏
WHY NOT? The new motto of this channel 😂😂😂

Where do u get your Hitler and Michel tyson stickers in Uganda?
You know your history and you're so good at preparing your content giving a brief tour to your viewers- love that!
When Bald travels to places we would never dare to visit, this is one of the best channels on UA-cam. A lot of those interactions could have gotten very hairy very quickly. This was a masterclass in disarming hostility. Great job. Balls of steel.
I watch Sabbatical as well. But even he could not face more than one day in Congo.

It's incredibly impressive to see someone with such highly developed social skills. Best travel documentaries.
Yeah, Bald charm skill is 100 percent.
Excellent video, time went so quickly. Looking forward to the next. Stay safe Ben. 😅
I think personally one of the best video you ever did and lots of things around you
You did amazing Bald, well done and big balls to do it. You are one of a kind and be remembered throughout history.
It's astonishing how easily you connect with people. That is probably the biggest part of what makes your reports so incredibly unique and authentic.
Happens on a daily basis for most of people that don‘t live in western countries
Bald is immune to intimidation, it’s a masterclass to watch him. Like when the guy in the bus station said Give me my money. You can see how he put his hand on his shoulder to deter him and then brought the attention of other people. The guy got embarrassed and ran 😂
He for sure looked mean and would have hurt him under different circumstances

@@inmydarkesthour2278 That is not true. It is just a misunderstanding of they dynamics. Actually I am a big fan of Bald, but he misses out on showing the essence of the countries. So I would like to share my perspective of Uganda which you can see in my latest video I just posted. It is completely different to his perspective. Even in the ghettos in countries I have visited, the way you engage with people changes the dynamic. Having been in the same situations, I generally realise people are all the same and fun around the world. So I hope I can share a different perspective. the episode is called "Uganda is Fun"
I absolutely love eastern Africa, people are unbelievably friendly. Would love to see more videos out of this region Bald!

Are you joking or actually being serious lol?
Love the video, Bald!. Keep them coming!.
That first "Why not!?" had a level of apprehension & menace like no other....
I lost it on that first one haha. Toooooo smooth with it.
Your skill to deescalate any situation always amazes me
According to them, They have the best president and his son seems to be their Hero but they have no food,shelter, hospital, etc. what a people 😅
they're your people
They always have their own reasons why
18:00 that kid brought a tear to my eyes. He is shy and doesnt want to be rude and just ask for money.
11:46 Bald's tour guide looked so deflated after having his speech repeated after he worked so hard to practice it 😢 ("I thought I said it clearly enough") was probably what he was thinking 😂
You're looking way too into it. Just enjoy the video mate
Reminds me of the British skit where a reporter interviews Talibans or Mujahideens in English but there are subtitles
I agree he didn’t need to do that
Pretty rude.. Baldy put on a show like he was interpreting mesopotamian for his viewers. I could understand the guide fine
@@jenersharma Why do i need subtitles i speak perfect english!!
This feels like a Blair Witch Project style found tape recording already.

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN
The thing i like in Benjamin the most is that how he handles "give me money" situations. Where other travelers would get completely defensive, anxious; he just keeps the smile, jokes around, give some compliments, and telling that he is bankrupt!
I swear, this video was the most chaotic and savage ride
@@Seneditiz But he exploits the people, he has enough money to help them out a bit. I think it's not right to use them for content, while earning a lot (with more than 4 MILLION followers) and not giving something.
Everyone in Uganda speaks English. I love that😂😂 Thanks for coming to Uganda 🇺🇬 and filming with nice video.
Very few content creators will have the guts like you! bravo! 👌🏻
Imagine if Bald wasn't confident enough to say no when they incessantly demand money from him. He would become bankrupt for a second time.

Shallow texbook 'history.' Amin was much more complex than an 'evil dictator who killed 300k of his own people.' And he also convenitenly left out which foreign country trained and supplied those armies.
Also, British 'explorers' like Livingstone and Speke didn't 'discover' anything, the source of the Nile was always known! From Ptolemy's map, to Al-Idrisi's map, to Venetian maps etc. it's baffling that people are still being misinformed by Eurocentrism...

Worked with a bloke back in the 70's who had been one of the Ugandan Asians forcibly expelled from Uganda by Idi Amin, He and his family lost everything, his home, car, belonings and his business, he was one of many taken in by the British government, he was always grateful to GB for giving him another chance to thrive, which he did, good bloke he was, always upbeat despite the hardship he'd suffered.
Met a few of those in Canada. They were Ismailis who followed the Aga Khan. They mostly originated from the state of Gujarat in India.
Was that WINDRUSH?
