Hi I’m a wholesaler and I have been trying to find buyers on B2B platforms however most seem to be illegitimate.

We are based in West Africa and open to Worldwide buyers.

Happy to supply more details upon request.

Thank you.

According to statistics, around 14 countries in Africa were animists majority in mid 20th century now is none. Why?

Hi All, holiday greetings to you all. I'm planning a trip to Kenya or Tanzania next year (2025) during the wildebeest migration from India! Any suggestions how a group of two should travel there? Are there any recommendations in terms of what we should do vs what we should avoid? How can we best explore the wildlife (not too expensive). If there are suggestions in terms of stay? If there are specific periods (I'm aware July to sept is peak season) which are best for visitation!

Here in Brazil, views on autism have changed a lot in recent years. There are laws to protect autistic people and combat ableism (discrimination against people with disabilities), and people are also more educated about autism. However, there are still a lot of problems here, especially if you come from a poorer community. In many places there are no psychologists, pedagogues or professionals prepared to deal with autistic people, bullying is still constant, many spaces are still inaccessible due to noise and other sensory stimuli, there are still many stereotypes and wrong beliefs about autistic people, among other problems.

How do people deal with autism in your country?

I live in the state of Alaska, where gun ownership is relatively high (around 65% owning guns, and open carry without a permit is legal). The reasons people cite for owning guns here include hunting (moose, caribou), recreational shooting, like target practice or at a range, or family tradition (gun passed down through grandfather etc.) Also personal protection or protection from bears.

Most of the African students I meet at the university here seem to not really understand gun ownership, and mainly associate guns with gangsters and criminals. When I try to assure them that most Alaskan gun owners are not gangsters or criminals, they still don’t seem convinced.

A friend of mine from a church in the States is going to Sudan and he said Africans don't want to work for Chinese companies because they think the Chinese will eat them. I said that sounded like the sort of rumor the CIA would start. What do you think?

Sorry. Very racist. Racist all round. But...I want to know. I like Africa, I want there to be investment and better roads and such. So I'm sort of hoping it's just not true.

Do many people in your country watch anime and Korean dramas, or listen to Kpop? What are the most popular anime, Korean dramas, and Kpop groups in your country?

Hi everybody! I love African music and know that large part of it from the 80s to 2000s was released on tapes. I also love this format and collect music on cassettes. I wanted to look for some (Subsaharan) African cassettes (many albums are difficult to find online) on online marketplaces and maybe even buy myself a couple, but sadly without much luck. I only found some for sale on South African website, and some were available on Western marketplaces.

Many countries have such marketplaces/auctions and you usually meet many people selling cassettes there. Is there such website for Subsaharan Africa where people sell their old stuff, and many cassettes are available? It may be Pan-African website or just a site for a separate country. I've tried searching for tapes on Jumia, but it looks like nobody sells them :(
Thanks in advance!

I live in Alaska but I’m friends with several university students who are originally from African countries (Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Kenya, and others).

We’re all around university age or slightly older and most of us are single. I’ve noticed they all seem to have a weird stigma surrounding condoms. I told them they can get condoms for free many places around campus, and they seemed to think this was unusual or didn’t trust the quality of these condoms.

I usually just buy packs of condoms from the store, but they also don’t do this. They’ve even asked me for condoms before, and when I ask why they don’t just buy them themselves, they seemed surprised. What’s up with this? Is having condoms taboo in Africa? My white American friends are not like this, they just keep packs of condoms in their bathroom or medicine cabinet and it’s no big deal. Is having sex outside of marriage really this taboo in some African countries?

Is the following interaction correct?

A: Ansuf yis-k s axxam.

B: Tanimert.

For those who have been to Cameroon, how many days did it take to get your visa?

I applied last week on 26/11/2024, and I still haven’t received a response

Thanks

Hi,

What is the best and most economical way of exporting items from Malawi to the UK?

Thanks

I'm an acadmeic in the U.K., and I've recently received PhD inquiries from two separate women named Samuel. One is from Ghana and the other from Nigeria. Is Samuel a common name for women in West Africa?

Hey all. Love Africa wanna see more. Only went to Morocco. Of the twenty something nations I’ve been to, they did something I never experienced anywhere else in the world. The smallest question asked to a local was met by, how about something for my time. Basically, every time we asked for help and if they even lifted a finger they thought they deserved about $10.

I later saw a group went to Zimbabwe with a local. He took them to his local market. When the bloggers started recording the market, the locals got angry. They said “if we are being recorded, we should all be paid.”

I just saw a video where a tiktok guy was going on the street asking people to name a country started with Y. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDFBvTcRjwl/?igsh=ZGE2ZGU5N3piZG5j The guy answered one and then asked, how are you going to compensate me?

As an American, I can’t relate to this response and am curious if there are some cultures where people’s time equals money, and why?

A while ago now I read some post here slandering black Americans, saying how their culture "glamorised promiscuity, crime and overall degeneracy". Also that they don't know their own history and will assume every SSA is related to them etc. Obviously I don't share those sentiments, people are people everyone's different but it had me thinking if black people in the UK were perceived as negatively as black Americans might be.

The only negative stereotype I've seen is gang violence being attached to black people here but that's just an issue with poverty in general and a lot of white people in poverty will turn to crime.. Otherwise would I be incorrect in saying they are perceived more positively? There are Afro-Caribbeans which like black Americans are descendants of slaves but there are even more black people here with direct family connections to SSA countries therefore would be more acquianted with their families culture and heritage no? I mean even in America there's plenty of African immigrants as well as Afro-Caribbean but it seems that the attitudes are mostly harboured towards the black Americans that had been there for generations longer.
And I'm not talking like Africans are some hivemind I know plenty will hold none of the negative attitudes I'm just curious to know how they perceive the differences in diaspora populations.

Edit: It's honestly tiring having to deal with the bizarre levels of defensiveness and suspicion that I've been getting from some people. I literally came here to do nothing more than gather some insight, which I was partially successful in doing. There is literally nothing more to gain from asking this other than just that, and I can't even begin to say how pointless sowing division on fucking Reddit would be. I can't tell if the people doing this love drama or just wanna argue about something, but they're certainly overestimating how invested I am in this topic...
Either way I understand it's a controversial topic so can only lead to downvotes

Interview request for a school project

Hi! I’m a college student and for a class I need to interview someone who immigrated to the US from Africa. I’d really appreciate it if someone has time to give some short answers to the questions below. Thanks so much!

Describe a happy memory growing up. What did you do before moving here? When did you move to the US? How old were you? Did any relatives come with you? Why did you move to the US? What was it like to move to the US? How did the US differ from your expectations?

Shameful reality…read or watch this CBS article- https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/ai-work-kenya-exploitation-60-minutes/

Hello, American here. I'm creating a christmas around the world music playlist to learn more about the world and it's cultures. With Africa the biggest continent it also a lot of culture variety including both traditional and modern music genres. So my questions are what christmas songs are cultural significance to your country/culture, you feel is underrated or you just really like?

I am really intrigued by him singing and would really like to find out what he says and learn more about how african rapping like this is "built" (e.g. what words are used for something so energetic and such and what context one could appropriately sing this, im a music producer)

I work in the US in the tech sector. "Effective Altruism" has become trendy. The basic idea is that, we should try to make the world a better place, and use our resources effectively when doing so.

One of the most popular ways to do this, is to give money to charity in less wealthy countries where there is perceived to be more need. Give Well top charities is probably the most popular, which distributes money to fight malaria, distribute vitamins, and encourage vaccination.

Another popular one is give directly, which simply sends cash to poor households.

Every year, around this time, I consider where to give money, and mostly end up going with the same choices. But, living in the US, I'm super far removed from the impact of any of these charities, no idea how these efforts are perceived or the impact of them on people's live.

So I guess my questions are:

1. Any perspectives on the Effective Altruism movement? Given that one of the main conclusions is that people in wealthy countries should donate to causes in Sub-Saharran Africa?

2. Any thoughts about the particular efforts: (bednet distribution, vitamin distribution, vaccination campaigns, direct giving to poor households)?

I am from and live in Bahia, Brazil, it is well known as the Africa outside of Africa because of its marking Afro culture and population.

The majority of people here is pardo from afro-euro-descend and, depending on the presentation of their phenotype, they may identify as pardo or as black.

I know that the perception of Africa in Brazil is totally different from the perception of Africa to the people living in Africa. In Brazil, it has a very huge emotional and historical context, and in Africa itself, it is just the continent they live.

What I want to know is if Africans living in Africa really perceive some kind of brotherhood with pardos like me.

I saw several Youtubers interview people from remote African tribes and I can't help but wonder, do they have access to government institutions? Do they pay taxes? Do police ever come out here to check for crime? Are births and deaths documented? Obviously, every country is different, so I'd like to hear about multiple countries.

I've activelly searched for it(due to the fact that they also speak portuguese just like me)but did not find that many angolan youtubers,i've also searched for english speaking african youtubers,like from nigeria,and barely found any.How popular it is where you live?

Does it happens?

I have see and been on many sub-reddit and hear people having adhd but not see or hear from any African that has it.

I'll start. I love Afrobeats but Francophone African music just hits different and puts me in a different modd. Especially if it's a slow song!
