    Evelyn. I am American born and bred. I have a father who was born and raised in Ghana in Accra. I have a mother who grew up in Aparteid in South Africa. My closest friends are all 50-100% African blood, from Ethiopia, to Kenya, to Côte d'Ivoire to SA. You are the content we have been looking for our entire lives. This is EXACTLY how my family acts, this is EXACTLY what they do and what they talk about. Almost an entire video about Jollof rice? Legendary.

    I did the DNA ancestry test and found that I am 36% Ghanaian and 15% Nigerian a bit of Cameroon/Congo alone with a percentage of Senegal, so I would definitely like to touch down in Ghana and like to check out my cousins in Nigeria. Once you have the test done your inner being just go nuts. I was repping Ghana in my home even before I knew of my lineage with a statue of Ghana. I was look up how to make Jollaf rice , and saw you video an it piqued my curiosity with my on going study and search of knowledge in the culture. It been fantastic knowing.!

Whew...so many countries. South Africa....Egypt...Kenya...and from the looks of it Nigeria too! 😊 Haven't done the whole trace your DNA roots yet but I'm sure once I did that would also add a few places to the list.

    My first trip abroad was to South Africa, and the travel bug has bitten me several times since. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience. You're right. Africa as a continent gets left out of the conversations around social media and technology. Africa as a continent is changing, countries are building bridges and cultural connections, and your blog is part of that. And I can also relate to the travel visa struggle. The same problems occur for India.

    Man, my dad was "visiting" Nigeria for nearly 2 years teaching computer classes. I'm glad he's back but I really wish I told him about social media week. Man, Evelyn, I wish I found your channel earlier too.

    Hi!!! I could have never walked across that bridge! Y'all brave! I went on a mission trip to Rwanda almost 11 years ago! With layover in Kenya. For my 40th trip I'm going to Cape Town, South Africa next month!!! I'm excited and nervous at the same time! Do you have travel tips to survive long flights?

    I am from Houston and I have found myself in the middle of one of these jollof battles before. People fight like you just smacked their grandmas. I personally prefer Nigerian jollof. To me it has more flavor, but Ghanaian jollof is tasty too.

      funny enough my mum remembers when jollof wasn't a thing in Nigeria and she's only 50

    • @matthewwilkie2184
      @matthewwilkie2184 7 років тому

      241Genevieve I was just exaggerating. But that's interesting though. I can't imagine a time without Jollof.

    • @nnedianya
      @nnedianya 7 років тому +6

      +241Genevieve jollof has always been a thing but with the growth of wealth. my parents said it used to be only at Christmas. also Nigeria also grows it own rice now. so it's easier.

    • @matthewwilkie2184
      @matthewwilkie2184 7 років тому

      Yeah I thought Jollof was only for special events

    • @nnedianya
      @nnedianya 7 років тому

      Matthew Wilkie yeah but since we have we figured out how to make it cheaper with Maggie cubes instead of making stock from scratch. And importing cheaper ingredients it's more widely accessible
