 It's really true that the hembas give out their wives for visitors that comes to visit them. During the olden days, it really happened. It was happening, but then until now it's really continued. Are you married? No, he's married. How many? He was getting married to two wives, but now he has a third one also now. Wow! Which means this one is now the new marriage. Will you ever give your wife to a visitor? Okay. What did he say? He said no. He said no to his wife, but then he said to the sister or cousin. Yeah, he said in that case he can give. You don't have a sister? She said... Can you guys believe that I hate myself? Me and one of the guys that is with us, we tried to risk and I ended up hurting myself. Man, it's more like a muzzle pull or something. Hey, but guess where I am? I'm back again in Oppo. Oppo is in Namibia, the northern part of Namibia. This is exactly the same place that I did that viral video. Ay-ya-ya! That's a woman's hand, man. Thank you. I hope you all enjoyed that juicy stuff. But don't forget that this is proudly sponsored by the Namibian Tourism Board. Yo! The first time that I came here I spent a lot of money promoting this country. But this time around they were like, hey Maya, just sit in the car. Gondwana will take care of you. Gondwana will make sure that you eat from morning, afternoon and evening. This is where I will be sleeping tonight, bro. I just can't wait. And this place is called Oppo Country Lodge. So everything that you see in here, it's more like the himbes. Believe me or not, it's going to be a good day. This is amazing, man. And we are chasing a waterfall once again. Never knew that Namibia would go waterfall, man. So yeah, come along with me. Let's go find this waterfall together. Whoa! Look at the view. Oh my goodness. If the river is running then it's... Whoa! That is the dam, right? Okay. So if they open the dam, obviously now it's before rainy season, then all of that water comes down here, goes down here and then takes the river. But there's a bit of water. Wow, that would have been very beautiful, man. This is what I saw. But it's sad that there's a dam there. So there's no flow of water at the moment. That's why this is so dry. I mean, I guess there were kind of waterfalls. Oh, it's dry! Yeah, it's sick, man. I don't know if my camera can do justice to what my naked eyes are seeing, even though there's no water at the moment. Damn! Look at that. Look at that. I wish there was water. But I feel like you're in Victoria Falls. This side is Namibia. And right over there, that's Angola, after the water. But yo, this water got crocodiles, man. So my brother, when I come here, don't sweat. It's time to go look for my room. Room number 33. Wow! And this is so... 1, 2, 4, 5, 2, 8, 9, 2, 5, 8, 10, 12, 16. And what about this one? Showing... Oh, wow! I hope I don't get lost, man. Let me just keep walking until I find where I am gonna spend the night. I'm lost already. Oh, wow! They've got DSTV in here. That's incredible! So I guess today is the day that the walk-up is starting and I found myself in a pool. How crazy that is. Definitely is gonna be somewhere. It's 25 to 28. This is where we're gonna be spending the night. Give me this one. Thank you! Whoa! 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Oh, okay. Are you all expecting a surprise? Just like... Whoa! Room for two. But I'm alone. It's something minimalist. Very simple. Starless, spacious. A bit modernized. And, yeah. Yo, the view! Oh my godness! View from my room. This is amazing, man. Look at it. I'm to a poor country lodge, a lodge that I never knew it existed. This lodge is situated on a hilltop facing the northwest with a bread-taking view overlooking a valley with magnificent sunset. Poolside is unbelievable. Like, I mean, this kind of spectacular view is only existed in Africa, yeah? My goodness! Believe me or not, this is one of the best place I've ever been. Namibia got vast land, so probably the land is filled with animals, man. Good morning. A poor and northern part of Namibia. It's a very early morning, and I had the best sleep ever. I mean, being surrounded by nature, it's one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Personally, I'm not in the right place, so places like this makes me feel at peace, man. And that's exactly how I felt in here. The view in front of me alone. Ah, it's priceless, man. The landscape, it's incredible. The resort is of the location where it's surrounded. It's just magnificent, man. I feel like when you're building resorts and you choose a location like this, even though it's extremely far, but it's accessible, right? So let's say this video inspires you and you wanna come see the Himba. You wanna come experience the Himba culture and you're looking for a place to stay. I would say that this is definitely the best place for you to stay. Or if you're thinking of visiting Namibia and you'll be like, oh, I'm just going to Namibia to see wildlife, experience wildlife, or I'm going to Namibia just to, I mean, climb the dunes. I'll tell you, yeah, it's okay. Visit Namibia is very important, but at the north, if you really wanna experience the authentic Namibian culture, it's priceless. Believe me, I've done so many things in this country. I've experienced everything in this country, the dunes, the desert, the ocean. But this place feels at home. It's the only place that I can relate as an African. Visit Namibia. Visit the northern part of Namibia. And you won't be disappointed. Take this from me. It's time to go see the Himba tribe come along with me. I'm not gonna do anything crazy. Just gonna ask questions from the previous video, things that people wanted to know that I never asked. It's time to ask that question. I think I also got attacked. A lot of Himba guys on social media were extremely mad at me for lying about their culture, which I found out to be crazy, man. Let me tell you guys something. My job is extremely difficult right now since I started getting a lot of people following me. I feel like my most hated people right now are Africans. You know, you're fighting for Africans and Africans are also fighting you back. And it makes my job extremely tough knowing that how come your own people don't appreciate what you do. I'm not saying, no, listen, don't get me wrong. I'm the most loved African content creator, whether you guys like it or not. I'm the guy that I go to places. People show me so much love. It makes me feel like, oh my goodness. I mean, why do people love me so much? But sometimes the hate that comes from your fellow Africans is worse than the one that comes from people that are non-Africans. And sometimes I'm like, wow, what's happening? And it's just probably a misunderstanding, but it takes it to another level. I think recently someone, even an African, tweeted that I hope you're burning acid. You know why? Because he said, I lied about the Himba people. And I'm like, how can I lie? Even the video about the Himbas, I was just asking questions. What we read was, when you come in here, if you come to the Himba village, as he just explained, a man can give the wife to a friend, my brother. Okay, yo, take care of him, sexually. Is that true? Yes. I never came up and said, oh, the Himbas have free sex or something like that. I was just asking questions. And the questions that I asked were answered by the Himba people. It was the Himba people that were telling their own story. I gave them the opportunity to tell their own story. I was just being a messenger. This time around, I'm just going to go back, ask the questions that a lot of you have been asking, and see what are the kind of answers that I'm going to get. And I'll put all of them together, including this video. And yeah, I'm going to take it from there. So come along with me. Let's go meet the Himbas. You guys see me? Good day. Everybody, you are more than welcome to Ovinyanga Himba Village. I'm the guide to over Himba people, as well as over Herero, especially in the north part of the country. Now we are actually arrived in the Himba household, which is the one that we see right here. I will explain to you about the whole construction of the Himba homestead. Actually right what you see here, that is the chief hut. The chief hut, that is for the father of this household. This man got married to three wives. And then all these three wives stay with him in his household. And then in the middle we have the holy fireplace. The holy fireplace is a place where he seek blessing to his spirit, to the spirit of the ancestor as part of their religion. I can say only a few Himba Christians, that is influenced by modern life, as people are now going to a poor or different city in Namibia. And then they saw that other people really go to church, pray and all that. And then in that case they got influenced, they go to church to become Christian. But during the olden days, over Himba people have to believe in the spirit of their ancestors as part of their religion. Actually when someone died in their compound, they buried this person like six feet under, and then they believe that the soul or the spirit of this person is still with them. It protects them. The younger ones are not allowed to greet elders. It's a respect sign. You just wait for the elders. Even though you are visitors, you are the one not to greet the child, the child, not like the children greet you. Only the elders. I was going to greet a child. What do I say again? I forgot. This is how the Himba lady really do look like by the traditional outfit. Start from the hairstyle. What you see right on top, made of sheepskin or cowskin. They call it a rembe. Can you imagine I spoke about of a herald lady, the lady with the head and the long dresses. Due to their outfit, some herald people also like fold kind of a newspaper as I have had of, fold it like this according to the size of the head you want or you apply the stick of Mopani branches according to the size of the head you want. And then you fold. It's like just a cloth, just like yours. You buy the material and then you fold the head. But then for a Himba, a different outfit, a rembe as a respect, represent the head for them. And then whenever you see a lady with a rembe, then you should know this lady is a married lady or a grown up lady. She is through her teenage stage like it's from the age of 15 upwards. They have a rembe. The younger ladies have two bundles of their hair front side. Front side, that's a lady. The boy also has similar hairstyle in your way. This is not the boy, but I just make a sign, like face back side. Like a rhino horn. Yeah, that is how the boy should look like. But this is also still a lady. Only that notch is younger than this. Later on it will also form two just like this. Actually they do it with their hands like from here up to here. Also the same applied to their grown up ones. From here to here. Similar mate. But then the okra, that red complexion okra is a stone that they just crush from the mountain. It's red by looking. And then they got a powder, okra powder mixed with a cream. Okra is good for the skin. Look how all their skin look like even until the grandmother. Such a nice and soft skin and for beauty as well. Can you imagine we have like hair and kind of like a bit rough skin and all that. So nice, soft and smooth. And then I have also noticed it doesn't cause any problem to the skin. No skin cancer. No dry skin, nothing. That is also the way of cleaning the body. Because the himba doesn't take shower with water. Nothing like this. They don't take shower with water. They don't take shower with the okra. Okra. And they mix with the cream. But then to take shower, what I mean like doesn't take shower, to take shower with water like every day just wake up to take shower and put okra. No, that is not their lifestyle. They just have to clean it with okra. Mix it with the cream. Ok what you said is that when she's not without okra on this cream she doesn't feel really good. It's like her skin is like dry and really kind of cracks and so on. Yeah but then with okra you feel good. With the cream. Then she really feel, yeah, now I'm ok. That's what you say. They don't bath. They don't bath with water right. Doesn't mean that during the menstrual cycle they also don't use the water they use the okra and the cream. As you say like when she feel now I'm now close to that time of my periods and you have to, you should be take yourself away from the people. Yeah just keep your distance like maybe you will be still in the same homestead but then you sit under the tree somewhere there as you see explaining like I have to remain silent just quite at that same place and then next day because it takes, sometimes it takes like maybe four days it depends and then for the next day it's also the same sport like just keep yourself until these days are over or otherwise as I have explained to you you can cut those more funny leaves you grind them on that place for the like blood stop and so on and then or otherwise you use those skin clothes from a little goat also to to protect that for you to know whether they have children or not you can identify by the straps they have on like one straps define one kid that she have one child and two straps like her sister means that she have two or more yeah the younger ladies their hairstyle have to remain like this until the age of between the age of 13 and 14 they are on once the hairstyle change to a grown-up hairstyle it's also a celebration yeah it's way by that by that time you have to apply the okra the trees will be removed Mokka there is my okehi once they smile they doesn't both men and women they doesn't have teeth underneath that's define that identification of their tribes you see them with normal clothing and then we smile he doesn't have teeth and then you should know this really him but man she doesn't have teeth down or top down bottom three teeth removed but then you leave the side teeth when you eat doesn't have to eat like this you eat it with the side teeth at what point are the teeth removed from the age of 13 14 they are on because the reason behind that they still have their teeth you have to wait for all the baby teeth to go down can you imagine once you do with this age these teeth will really grow again it has to be permanent even once you smile wow it's really true that the himbes give out their wives for visitors that comes to visit them during the olden days it really happened what's happening but then until now it's really continue existing but maybe we have to ask also like is it now it has to be your wife also or maybe your cousin or your sister I have to for instance maybe have five wife are you married he's married he was getting married to two wife but now he's also have the third one also now which means this one is now it's a new marriage will you ever give your wife to a visitor okay what is he saying he say no he say no but why isn't that they used to give their wives to visitors he say no to his wife but then he say to the sister or cousin in that case he can give he can give either a cousin or a sister it's like a kind of a cultural way according to what I hear from him but then sometimes he say it's also own knowledge it's like just general knowledge for instance Maya Maya here is my friend why can't I give him a sister just to impress you that's the whole thing about is what he say but it has to be a sister it depends from a family from a household to a household because what he say is like some chief or some headman they prefer I have five or six wife why can't I not give one I just give but that doesn't mean that you have to marry this lady just to impress you for that night according to the prayer but what if you impress me that night and he suits me a lot and I want to extend my stay he's still still alone then he say that it really happen in that case now that's why now it's getting to drop down little by little now it's not like now they don't want to do it anymore but then because this really it was like for instance me as Carigo I want to give it just like the second wife of my sister just for that moment but now I have noticed that these people now really fall in love now it's like now you want to take to Ghana take this lady to Ghana now it's like no in that case you say no you don't have a sister I'm just kidding this is what happened to me the last time I came here for me when it comes to my videos I'm just educating myself and I have a platform and I want to use the platform to educate you I don't take advantage of certain cultures but I feel like as Africans we need to learn our own culture and this is why I do what I do right even when I came in here I was not dressed like this and I felt like I'm disrespecting these people by wearing my own clothes I just went in there and as soon as I came out you saw that everyone was happy like hey he's one of our own and that's when they feel comfortable telling you more about themselves so yeah don't be mad at me I'm just enjoying myself and at the same time learning and educating you the last time that I came in here most of you were asking me if the homeless actually go to school so I had to come and show you the educated people so currently I'm standing just right outside the classroom and they're having a lesson at the moment yeah so just let me go in there and ask the teacher what's he teaching them and yeah just get to know about whatever that happens in here I just want to know is this school for only himbers or is it for other tribes okay my name is Lina Mohenye we are acting principal here oh wow the school is for marginalized people the himbers, the thembers and the most of them from Angola also so they come here to study yes but do they have to wear school uniforms? yes they have to what do you teach in here then what do you teach in the school the subject mathematics, English agriculture life grade 8 life science religious and moral education, physical education entrepreneurship next year we want to start with computer and accounting it's just lacking of resources that we don't have what are the kind of resources that is being lacked like computer here we are moving now that kids need to have computers but we are having nothing does the school have electricity? yes we are having electricity but no computer lab at the moment lab at the moment do you guys have an ICT teacher somebody who is going to teach about the computers yes they are there some is from Opuwo vocational training they can also help give us a teacher for computer until we advertise their post okay you will see me again here soon I just want to know I visited a Himbez Himbez have a way of dressing when the student come to school is it by force for them to wear school uniform or sometimes they have to come to the class with the uniform like the way of dressing really there is no forcing it depends on them but we encourage them so that they can be part of because sometimes they feel inferior alone not wearing the traditional dress but we encourage them to wear those who can afford wear school uniform those who cannot afford in traditional attire is the school free for them yes it's free wow free education what about the uniform we motivate the parents to buy but if they cannot afford then the child must just come to school a child that goes to school despite all these challenges who really wants to learn so why not we all come together and support their needs because I ask them what they really need and this is what some of them said I think after hearing whatever is happening in here as a community we can do a lot to help if you all come together because I think the government can try but it can't do everything because believe me we can do everything for everything but you and I as a community can put our resources together to help solve the problems that you are talking about I really wish we can create a GoFundMe page to support the school but currently we are having problems with our GoFundMe pages but all I am asking is to reach out to Tymie she lives in Namibia and let her know what you can do to support the school and we are all going to take it from there My name is Mr. Ghana Baby and I will see you all in the next one
