Benin is an incredibly interesting country in West Africa: ancient tribes with their unique traditions still live here, local kings rule, and everyone practices the voodoo religion. The locals wear incredibly beautiful clothing and eat unusual local food. Overall, it’s so vibrant here. Leonid went to Benin to show you how the locals live, why there are so many twins born in Africa, and what the unique traditions associated with them are. He’ll explore what the dish Fufu is like, how scars replace passports for the locals, and why children here are named after days of the week instead of regular names.

Your video is educational, informative and very interesting to say the least. So very brave of you to solo travel to Benin for obvious reasons and I am so glad it is translated to English.
Very interesting watch you communicate with the people.I enjoyed this very much.
Love this video. Keep educating us

Um bonitão deste solto neste lugar.
They hate Black people so much, but constantly trying to be where we are… Misery loves company!!
It would have been appropriate to give some money to all the people who asked to be compensated for allowing you to videotape them. Do you see how poor they are?? Now you have your cool video. Because of them. But what did they gain from this? They got nothing. This illustrates the all too common entitlement of Westerners, Americans, and Europeans. Always taking for personal gain, without giving back.
Beautiful video good commentary
Interesting information
But Benin has a beatiful ladys😮
Which benin in western africa the speak french
In Kenya 🇰🇪 we don't sacrifice Albinos kindly correct yourself in the video,in kenya we saw Albinos sacrifice in the News and some Albinos from Tanzania 🇹🇿 escaped from Tanzania to kenya.
What do you mean ‘African kings still exist’? Europe has kings and queens doesn’t it? Why wouldn’t Africa?
‘A 100% of the population practices voodoo’?? Have you taken leave of your senses Mzungu??
‘For a very long time people in Benin did not have any documents or passports’?? What lies are you peddling? Benin has been independent since 1960 for crying out loud! I met a delegation from Benin at a conference in 1980! I suppose they entered the host country on brooms if we’re to listen to your twaddle! I’ve also been to events in Benin from as far back as 1978…yes, we waltzed through immigration control because they had no idea what our passports were! Where do you come up with this nonsense?🙄🙄🙄
Body scarification is considered a form of enhancing one’s beauty. Each ethnic group has its own distinct patterns. The practice predates the advent of passports and documents and has absolutely nothing to do with being documents! Total nonsense! If Europeans want to come to Africa you’re welcome but please treat us with respect by being truthful about our cultures and traditions.
Military coups, hunger, disease are customary in Africa? Wow! I must’ve missed the conflicts in the Middle East, Kosovo, Serbia, Armenia and the military coups in Greece, Spain, Burma, Chile, and of course, the biggest wars, WWI and WWII did not happen!
