I am not AFRICAN but when i see an African country doing good i feel very happy.
Exactly, the less black people in Europe, the better.
ME TOO! Im so proud of them, without being an African either
Where are you from???
@@EmperorJuanRaphaelwhere are you from???
I agree
As a Nigerian living in Côte d ivoire for over a decade now, I can tell you for free that we are really enjoying life in this part of the world 😊
It looks like it ! It is beautiful ❤
facts, nigeria needs to learn to close it open sewers like Cote di Voire.
Je suis une camerounaise mais Cote d'Ivoire ses nous belle famille Et Camerounaise - Ivorian ses son les jumeaux at the same time Lol
LAGOS can't be compared to Abidjan
What do you mean, Lagos is beautiful than Abidjan
As a Libyan its nice to see another African country that went through civil war have such a nice resurgence. Gives me hope!
Nous sommes de cœur avec la Libye. Vivement qu'elle retrouve le chemin de la paix au grand bonheur de tous ses fils et filles.
It’s a great story but the thumbnail is definitely clickbait, it’s Jakarta, I can say that with 100% confidence, If ur curious to find out yourself, the pic is taken somewhere around the Jenderal Sudirman road, the building on the left of the picture, is a Marriott serviced apartment I believe, which is def not in the Ivory Coast
I'm proud of this. When an African country wins, we all win. Much live from 🇰🇪
They use the CFA franc and are forced by France to store 79% of their foreign reserves in French banks 😂😂😂 they have no control over the CFA franc whatsoever
@@RUTHLESSambition5 stop following fakenews. CFA is one of best currency in Africa. Any country is forced to use that. Some countries like Mauritania and Mali leaved CFA and Guinea Bissau and Equatorial Guinea join in 2000.

This is definitely NOT the Africa the Western news media likes to show. Glad to see that parts of Ivory Coast is doing really well and that Abidjan is a functional city.
yeah, but you have to acknowledge that this perspective was hard leaning on the priviledged upper class. The same way people outside of the U.S. might not know how terrible conditions are in places like indian reservations or in regions like west virginia. It is nice to see prosperity but it is valuable to allows be cautious of falling under the influence of propaganda (good or bad).
@@DrGodzirrathe video clearly showed different part where different social class lives. Nothing like propaganda here
Chinese media also don't show this. Stop going on our nerves.
Yes, they prefer death mosquitoes
I'd say the problem is not western media shows a "false" Africa, but little Africa anyway. News is crisis. Crisis is war, terrorism, famine. Of course that is shown first, maybe giving some people wrong impressions. But hey, who in Europe should think people in Africa were overall living in mud houses? Ignorants do, not others. Thats not a point of media, but of education and intelligence.... On the other hand: Africa is diverse. Isn't some criticism about neo-colonial perspectives that people speak only of Africa like it was one country, while there are over 50 of them? So we also should not state things like "Africa in western news". And finally: progress is not just a matter of technology or infrastructure, but of social infrastructure, good governance, accountable and without corruption, free media, democracy and human rights. >Things not visible in videos.
As a South African, I'm really proud of Ivory Coast. The country looks clean, and I'm proud of the development.
Have you analysed what is going on there? It is the foreigners who buy this country, the Ivorian is the workforce

The KZheadrs on the African continent are doing really good job showcasing the beautiful parts of Africa on the South Sahara side. This, the CNN and BBC don't show the world, they choose to always showing villages or undeveloped areas. Great job guys, Bravo!🤓👍
UK documentary travel presenter Michael Palin is showing off how cool Nigeria is recently on UK tv😊
@user-lf2ov1eu9y - Only now because African YTer's like Steven Ndukwu and others are showing another side of Africa, Western journalists can no longer sell the propaganda Africa is only about wars, poverty and disease.
Spot on! They sustain their propaganda for more grants and very coy humanitarian efforts.
Fax. Even those traveller youtubers don't go to these parts of the country. They only go to poorer slum areas
As an American 🇺🇸 Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 is the best country in west Africa….
U mean as a Ghanian 😂
You're from Ghana 😂
Not the most developed though
Ivory Coast is really beautiful
For Africans the best place to be right now is Africa ❤🌍 love from South Africa 🇿🇦

Ironic to say as a modern Egyptian
So you do not know history, nor do you know Egypt’s historical connection with its African neighbors, and the common struggle to gain independence from Western occupation, Even the ancient Egyptian kingdom included Sudan and the Congo. The artifacts, rulers and kings have been shared among us since ancient times. The land of Africa is a land of great civilizations. Don't just look at the last 300 years @@AhmedN.-ky8ii

The success of Ivory Coast makes this Latino American happy!
Latinos are europeans of Iberian and Mediterranean origin we are not european we are natives to america at least those with blood tie to the land, but as far as africa hope they develop the right way because if you dont develop properly if you go to fast destroying nature you will have massive enviromental issues like in some countries in the americas
@@RM360CR that’s why this person said latin american…. people from the americas with latin ancestry…
Some nigerians think that Lagos is the most developped city in West Africa even in Africa but I think they mistaken most developped city with most populous city. Lagos is the most populous city but cities such as Abidjan, Nairobi, Luanda, Dar Es Salaam, and of course the south african biggest cities are more developped than Lagos.
Lagos is the most develop city in west Africa,Lagos is a state , from economy to land areas covered Lagos is way ahead of any west African city
@@fesderi3933 from what I see Lagos is not even more developped than Dakar, there is lot of area in Lagos where they didnt have full time access to electricity. Road are way better in Abidjan than Lagos. There is lot of reasons why Abidjan is way more attractive than Lagos I could mentionned some of them Abidjan is safer, cleaner, well organised,with better urbanism than Lagos.
True av learnt that too, they are a lot of nice capital cities in Africa that are low key and not announcing the beauty of their cities too. Talk of Cairo Egypt,Tunis etc..personally av found Lagos to be too populated with poor sanitation and electricity too is a problem. My dear Nigerian people at times learn to appreciate the beauty of other people's cities without comparisons with your own. Sending love and light💕
Am Nigerian and even I don't think Lagos is the most developed in West Africa, Lagos is good for business that's for sure but living in Lagos I would rather be in Abuja, Abidjan is amazing. Love it
Lagos, Nigeria in general, has a lot of potential. What it needs is great leadership
As an Australian I have always said. You want to invest, invest in Africa. It's going to become a major powerhouse in the world, it's only up from here
Actually there’s a history told of Ghanaians and Ivorians coming from the same ancestors. The Ashanti tribe of Kumasi Ghana , used to have its powers extended to some parts of Ivory Coast ; there are the Ashanti people in each country. There are the Akan people in these countries . The Capital of the Ashanti region is Kumasi , and there is Kumasi in Ivory Coast too .
As an Ivorian I think there is still a lot to do for the development of Ivory coast....
It’s a part the south of ivory coast, but this reality is spread out to other tribes throughout Africa. Remember our countries were created by colonial demarcations!!
Wow, this is Ivory Coast? IT'S BEAUTIFUL. I'm speechless.
Yes. It has always been developed and the people are nice
Lol
Lovely to see this. I am Rwanda 🇷🇼 proud of my brothers and sisters in Ivory Coast 🇨🇮.
My husband wants us to move to côte D’Ivoire and see this video makes me feel little more comfortable with the idea 😊
Go for it!
Love how the locals can communicate in English. The country definitely has lots to offer.
As a South African i really like this country.
Thank you for putting my beautiful country on spotlight, Abidjan is the Future! ❤ 🇨🇮🇨🇮
Our pleasure!
So beautiful am leaving in Abidjan yopugon
❤❤❤
I am an American who has been to nine and counting African countries. This was one of my favorites. I will say that while "modern" conveniences are great, please make sure that as you "develop" that you don't replicate the mistakes of western countries. Development is relative. I have slept in the best hotels on the continent and stayed with very wealthy friends in palatial mansions but one of my fondest dearest moments was napping in a small village on a mat with "grandma" and awakening to feast eaten with her loving family.
Cool but where’s the middle/normal class 😐
Wow....I'm impressed. Ivory coast should be a dream holiday destination in West Africa.

I Went to Ivory Coast during the AFCON. Nobody in the world can have fun as the Ivorians do it. Maybe I will put together my videos and share on KZhead.
Abidjan is the definitely the most developed city in West Africa ❤️❤️,much love from South Africa
One of the best city in west Africa; agreed, but to say "the most developed", mere hype
Never ever say that, its not half the city Lagos is in terms of development
@@richardabraham9047 I have been to both cities so I know what I’m taking about Abidjan outclasses Lagos ,everything works in Abidjan.

As Chinese 🇨🇳 I congrats our African brothers! You guys doing such a great job. I can't wait to visit. Keep going
Why is it that some Nigerians can't just appreciate other people's cities without comparing them to Lagos?? Av learnt that mostly they want to come out as the best in Africa, of course it may be popular with alot of famous people but that doesn't mean other places are not good as well. At times learn to appreciate other people without comparisons. Blessings upon Africa 💕
No body compared here
Stop lying. Nigerians are the most Afrocentric people on the planet. Everywhere Nigerians go we are always promoting Africa. No other country in Africa has done more for Africa than Nigerians. You can check the record. Many Nigerian soldiers have even died for peacekeeping missions to help other Africans (check your facts). This is the type of stuff we don't brag about. Yet, if we talk about being the best in anything else (which is verifiably true), you will say we are bragging 😂 Make we brag small, abeg.
@@StevenNdukwuHe's talking about the comments section sir, not your video. Your video was beautiful and amazing but there are some wereys in the comment section unfortunately
As an African (Black) American who is a Devout Pan-Africanist. I must admit I'm now thinking 🤔 about visiting Ivory Coast..... I just Love ❤️ Africa 🌍 so much.....and the righteous of Africa 🌍. I LOVE ❤️ BLAKK PEOPLE!!!! Big Respect! "The United Kingdoms of Africa 🌍."
Dear African Sisters and Brothers. This is the great image of Africa that you do not see in European traditional TV. Living in Europe, they always show the other side, i.e. the African weaknesses. But Africa is progressing more than ever and the new generation makes it stronger and stronger. My origins are African and I'm very proud of Africa. God bless Africa.
Its good to see both sides not just the good part, thats very unrealistic. Every country even developed countries have problems, and people love seeing a balanced perspective.
@@simba8665 just book a ticket already and see it for yourself bro . Why do you feel pained that the good part was shown ? There are plenty of videos on KZhead showing the contrast you want to see so bad
Well what image u expect when the European nations are literally getting invaded on daily basis with People from Africa. So obviously the images will not be a pretty one
as a Kenyan, we desperately prayed for ivory coast not to go down the Congo route of war. see what peace has done. Abidjan is just soo beautiful..well done ivory costasrians..looove from nairobian, Kenya.

This is the most developed part of ivory coast no other place
@@tundebakare6887 ok Oga we’ve heard , set awon developer

I wish to abolish the French language and revive the local languages. The cultural and civilizational heritage in Africa must be fully restored
Now this is development , wide roads , organised traffic , clean and neat surroundings . Good civic sense and excellent monuments and public infrastructure. As an Indian I wish if all parts of my country maintains standards like this rather than just some parts looking over-developed . I am completely impressed.
Ivory Coast, land of cocoa, Drogba, Champions and inspiration... ❤❤❤
i'm definitely coming 19:18
Ivory coast is a beautiful country. I wish to visit one day.
I was here last August. This is the most developed city in West Africa. The city and the country in general is very organized unlike what we have in Nigeria.
I didn't know much about Ivory Coast until singer Melanie Thomas from Abidjan joined Now United. Through that pop group I learned more about the beautiful heart and spirit of the Ivorians. She is a wonderful representative for your country.
Ivory Coast is the best country in africa!!! from Rwanda!!
🥱😂
😂😂 let hear word
😃😃😃😃😃
what's in Rwanda ? Lmao
Cote d'ivoire is ahead of my country Ghana interms of developments and we were the first to gain independent from Europeans. But I can understand now that all of that mean nothing, may God bless Nanan Philip Houphoet Boigny. May his soul Rest In Perfectly Peace.🙏❤
Our leaders are our biggest problem.they don't have the desire to develop the country.all they think about is to come to power to chop
Abidjan is so great !!! I love my country 🇨🇮. It's wonderfull ✨🥰
Hey.😊
@@YusufMontanez hi😊
So I’m American, but I’ve loved this video. I can’t wait to visit. I’m sure there were a million reasons not to build the basilica… but when I think of Notre dame or sagrada familia… those were built on the backs of people in different countries, before industrialization and took decades to construct. I think it’s beautiful and I wish I could do more to draw people to visit
No... president houphouët-boigny built this basilique as a sacrifice for God in order to bless the country and his grandchildren. He took his own fortune to do this as an altar for God. No one is really complaining about this in ivory coast presently... a lot if People are proud of it in IC..
@mariejouli what are you saying no to?
Love the Ivory Coast so much! I have travelled the entire country. It’s beautiful and the people are magnificent.
Ivory coast is the most underrated country in Africa. And it's very developed
Not really.
It is. @@JonGreeny
@@great7939 Your opinion. Ivory Coast isn't underrated and neither is it very developed.
@JonGreeny well it is your opinion too. We know it is. Now that the AFCON happened, things are very fast. 🤗
@@great7939 In your opinion is Ivory Coast developed more than say Cape Verde or Mauritius?
at 3:45 - this was a teaching moment and i am HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED AS AN IVORIAN YOU COULDNT TAKE TIME TO EXPLAIN THE RELATION BETWEEN GHANA AND IVORY COAST AND THE REASON FOR THE SIMILARITIES IN FOOD, LANGUAGE, CUSTOMS AND CULTURE. IT IS BECAUSE WE ARE BLOOD SIBLINGS SEPARATED DUE TO CIRUMSTANCE DURING COLONIZATION The main peoples of the Ivory Coast are the Akan people (the largest ethnic group - exactly like in ghana), the Mandé people, and the Gur people. There are, however, many other ethnic groups present in the country The AKANS OF IVORY COAST migrated westward from Ghana when the Asante rose to power. This tale of their breakaway is preserved in their oral traditions. During the ghana Asante rise to power, the Baule queen, Aura Poku, was competing directly with the Asante king. When she lost, she led some akans away from Ghana and to the Central Ivory Coast. Aura Poku's descendant occupies the throne and palace she built, and is honored by the Baule as their nominal king.The Baoule are a part of the Akan people who inhabit Ivory Coast and Ghana.
❤
Well said, Ohemaa
But my french is not well-preserved.
Every country has such 'bloopers'. 'Show-off's of rulers. But the builders were proud of their achievements and the people who gave the money through taxes, can be proud too. So.. attend church as many times ws possible. Do not think of the ruler, but of your religion. Think of all the people together celebrating their holy days.
I was in Abidjan in August 2023. Wonderful people,such a vibe. Mad respect from Kenya 🇰🇪

Hey 😊. How are you doing ?
Ghanaian here, who lived in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire for 10 years.... Have very fond memories of my time there and still have many friends there. Their first president, Felix Houphouet Boigny, laid the foundation for their development. Due to his longevity in power ie 30 years +, he oversaw a lot of the development before his death and laid the blue print for future development. (That's what Kwame Nkrumah would have done for Ghana if he had the same amount of time in power! ) Abidjan is a beautiful and well planned city. Amazing Place....and the food is yummy too! PS : The Akans (Baoule people) in ivory coast share similar culture to Akans in Ghana
What about the ewe in Togo and the ewe in Ghana
@@fesderi3933 Yep, same people.... The cololonial borders divided us arbitrarily. That's why we must operate as though those colonial borders don't exist.

Really surprised that the guest didn’t know that the biggest ethnic group in both Ghana and Ivory Coast are the Akans who are the same people separated by a colonial border. When Africa eventually removes the colonial borders, many such same ethnic groups separated would finally be reunited.
These boarders are here to stay.
All over west Africa countries there are ethnic groups in between borders .. Ghana, Ivory coast is are nationalities ..

Not really! Corruption is rampant with a 35 billion debt. Show the villages not only Abidjan.
@@Atchinin-ih4wq There is any country without debt?
@seydoutraore2867 Tous les pays ont des dettes à l'exception de la Suisse. Cependant, les dettes ne sont pas gratuites. On doit les rembourser. Le ratio dette/ PIB de la CI est de 57%. Nous avons une dette de 39 milliards de dollar. Ratio dette/PIB. Ethiopia 31% Botswana 18% RCA 11% comment allons-nous rembourser cette dette? En gestion, tu prends des dettes que tu peux rembourser. La CI emprunte des dettes pour payer des dettes à court terme. En d'autres termes, la CI n'a pas une reputation de solvabilité.
@@Atchinin-ih4wq le Ghana a 90% de taux d'endettement, le Sénégal en 75%, L'Angola 80%... Poser la question '' comment allons nous rembourser '' c'est avoir une faible culture économique. La dette on la rembourse tous les jours. C'est un élément inherent à l'économie d'un pays. Le service de la dette existe dans Tous les budgets. On rembourse et on en prend. C'est un cycle sans fin tant qu'on est un État ou une entreprise. Bref la Côte d'Ivoire n'est pas le pays le plus endetté d'Afrique. Il ne fait même pas partie du Top 20 des plus endettés. Donc trouver d'autres arguments quand vous voulez dénigrer
@seydoutraore2867 La dette est un cycle sans fin quand tu as des personnes irresponsables qui administrent un pays. Prenons Seydou Traoré comme exemple, tu ne prendras pas des dettes jusqu'à la fin de ta vie. Les dettes sont nécéssaires pour les projets dans un pays, mais le pays doit aussi faire de la collection interne pour ses projets - impôts, revenus du port etc... Chez nous, nous avons tout vendu. ÉÉCI d'alors à des compagnies qui ne paient pas d'impôts, on a vendu aussi la RAN, et La SODECI. Nous avons 12% des ressources pétrolières et si nous exportons notre pétrole, la France prend encore 6% du revenu et prend les autres 6% en dévises si nous voulons du CFA. Nous avons un pays qui existe pour que la France soit au concert des nations pendant que la population vivote. On construit des ponts à péage pour avoir de la collection interne après que a vendu nos compagnies - des compagnies qui ont le monopole du marché . La corruption est rampante en CI. Aucun audit n'est exécuté dans l'administration.C'est incroyable mais vrai. On prend une dette de 39 milliards, comment allons payer cette dette? Avec quoi? Les ponts et routes à péage? Le Ghana et les pays que tu as cités ne sont pas la CI. Parlons du Ghana, ce pays a de serieux problèmes économiques, ce pays n'a pas une réputation de solvabilité.. Quand tu prends une dette, une partie de la dette est à court terme ne doit pas susciter de problèmes. Aller prendre des dettes pour payer d'autres dettes - la partie à court terme les Américains appellent ce plan moribond un pas en avant, deux pas en arrière ( One step forward, two steps back) Être digne de foi financièrement parlant, c'est pouvoir payer ses dettes le moment venu et si le pays veux prendre d'autres dettes pour d'autres projets le pays doit avoir la certitude que le moment venu cette dette sera remboursée. Mr.watara est un économiste, malheureusement il y a des économistes qui ne sont pas de très bons gestionnaires. J'ai le droit de le critiquer, car il a dit qu'il fera la CI l'Indonésie de l'Afrique. La CI est loin en dévéloppement des pays Asiatiques. Watra construit 10 ponts à Abidjan et prolonge l'autoroute, c'est du jamais vu.
They have reallly world class road networks that i must say

I am truly impressed by the quality of roads and its connectivity to various parts of the country. Ghana could learn a thing or two. But I guess our leaders would rather use hundreds of dollars to build national cathedrals that are no where to be found. 😓🤬
Oh!!! my dear Say it again !!
I discovered your videos when you where showing Nigeria real estate and Nigerian touristic spots many years ago .Good Video as usual . There are still few things that can be done from a Tourist Point of View apart From Assinie, Grand Bassam and Yamoussoukro Which is already quite ok . The Banco Forest is the second largest urban forrest in the world with lush vegetation.That tropical Forrest is inside Abidjan , Only Rio de Janeiro has a bigger forrest .There are many national parks and some museums to visit in Abidjan . There is a touristical Town called MAN where people visits hand made traditional Liana bridge and waterfalls there is also the muslmim north with some traditional mosquee , there is also the weavers of waranyere in the north their products are different from those you saw as it is a different ethnic group so the fashion is different .BBR abidjan Boulay Beach Resort is getting famous too . Our country focused on agriculture before , not tourism but I think for a country third the size of Nigeria there are enough things to visit for one week at least .As the country is similar to Nigeria with a lot of muslims and Christians living together we also have two very big and very modern World class Mosquées the Mosquée of Plateau and the mosquée Mohamed 6 ... So Definitely I think there are many things to do for a tourist in CI .
Good to know, will add it to my list for next time
Cool but where’s the middle/normal class 😐

WOW I ❤ the city Abidjan. The first time that I traveled to Abidjan from Ghana was in 1994 at age of 15yrs old. I stayed at Abobo I am now 44yrs old and I cannot to be back there again. I like to share a little bit of history of why the city of Yamoussoukro has "the sacred crocodiles". When the Baoules decided to relocate from where is now called Ghana, precisely the Asante/Ashanti Empire due to some Royal internal misunderstanding, on their way they came across a river full of crocodiles and could not cross it. The princess at the time of their journey whose name was Abla Pokou consulted with her priest then the priest performed some miracles. The princess had a little child that she was holding and the only way to cross this river was by throwing her little innocent child into the river as instructed by her priest, as sacrifice, giving the Baoules a pass to the other side. As it happened the entire group were able to cross the river to inland and made it to their destinations. "Ba" in the language of Baoules is "child". "Oule" is also "the dead" hence" Baoule, "The Dead Child"! Thank you!😊

Non, si tu es haitien, tes ancêtres sont forcément du benin, du togo et Nigeria. Tu vas adorer ces pays si tu visite
@@angelozue7925 merci broh

I am old and dutch, but homesick for Africa. Tears....
You should visit soon
The French was my barrier when i visited Abidjan during the Football season in February, but menn Abidjan, Ivory coast is beautiful 🎉. Well planned city and clean ❤
No wonder, Abidjan is often called the Paris of Africa Abidjan is a nice city. This is better developed than Lagos. The high-rise buildings are properly clustered (good city zoning) unlike Victoria Island and Ikoyi and Lagos Island in Lagos that are a mix of high-rise and family homes. The roads are also great.
lol, Paris doesn’t have high rises so what’s your point. People are just freaking funny..
Residential buildings* not family homes....the only place you see family homes is in lekki.. Paris has a lot of old structures and less high buildings, whatchu saying?
@@moham.279 bro Paris definetely have high rise buildings. Type in Paris la defense.
U know Abuja is the Capital of Nigeria right? And Lagos is not only Ikoyi and Victoria Island????
Abidjan is a village in front of Paris. You are joking,Do you really know Paris ? Then how many high buildings do you have in Abidjan compared to lagos, only your plateau of 3 km2 got about a dozen of high buildings, the tallest is about 120m whereas Lagos got a plenty of them and the tallest building of west Africa is in Lagos for the moment.
I watched this video again..damn I'm so proud!
I am Ivoirian and you did such a great work at showing my country, thank you! :)
I’m so proud of my country Ivory Coast’s 🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮 Thanks very much for your amazing report
The reason there are similarities between Ivory Coast and Ghana is because about 250 years ago there was a chieftaincy power struggle in the Asante Kingdom and one of the chief's nieces, Abla Pokua, broke away with a group of people who went and settled in modern day Ivory Coast- they still speak Asante/Twi and retain Asante customs.
Nice one my brother and congrats 400k keep growing in Jesus name and Africa is beautiful... ❤🇿🇦
Thank you
Thank you for highlighting the beauty of the Ivory Coast. respect from Canada
Abidjan is very beautiful and well planned out city. For me,those two churches are necessary and worthy for the Christian community for the country Ivory coast.
The more successful African countries we have the better , if we can just have even 30 rich countries in Africa then most problems of an African child will be solved , we will immigrate less to Europe and we will circulate our money in Africa. We just need 30 rich African countries , it can be done its possible
I always come in Abidjan for vacation for the last 4 years. And my last time there I spent 9months before relocating to Suisse 🇨🇭.
Cool but where’s the middle/normal class 😐
Born and Raise in abidjan.most of osun state citizens are in ivory coast and God's grâce are on us
This so beautiful I need to visit, can someone take around when I'm ready? I really love to visit Ivory coast. I'm Ghanaian btw.
