 You look so shy. What's going on? Is it because you've never seen a Ghanian before? Not really. Oh, no, like, come on. I mean, let me give you a hug from Ghana. Maybe you'll be okay. Take care of yourself, yeah? Okay. My name is Maya from Ghana. Tell me your name and where are you from? My name is Nancy Maipo from South Sudan. What about you? I'm Helen Darcianu from South Sudan. From South Sudan. My name is Margaret. From... I'm from South Sudan. From South Sudan. My name is Nyagir. I'm from South Sudan. Oh, wow. Your name is just beautiful, just like your country. My name is Lucy Biel from South Sudan. My name is Nyayao Deng from South Sudan. What about you? My name is Daisy Nyakan. I'm from South Sudan. Madonna from South Sudan. From South Sudan. It seems... Tell me, what makes South Sudanese women unique? Perseverance. We're very strong women. Despite... We've gone through so much decades and decades of war, but our women have been holding the family strong. You know, they've been... The backbones of the family, the breadwinners. They've been the women who are encouraging. They're the women who have seen their husbands, their sons, their grandsons have gone to war. And despite that, that's helped it together. You know, many of us, at some point, have lost a male figure in the family. So it's been the women who have shaped the family by themselves despite it all. That's so beautiful. We're strong. Strong and beautiful. I think what it is is we're such a diverse country. And so when you look at women, like as all women in South Sudan, what you'll see is that we're so diverse. So like me, I don't represent what South Sudanese women look like. If you see another woman, she'll look completely different. Because in this region of Africa, we have so many different... We've got bunch of speakers, we've got nylotics, we've got kushites. So I think that's the unique aspect that we find in the women here. For me, I'd say it's the resilience and the ability to bounce back, even just watching my mom. You know, they've been through so much, years of civil war and all these things. And despite all that, despite that their husbands went away, they still kept the family together. And I really look up to that, and I hope that moving onwards, I'll be able to follow the same path. They're very strong women, first in it. I think the charismatic of a South Sudanese woman is immeasurable, to the extent that makes us unique, our culture... Our culture and behavior. You know, South Sudanese women, they love to what? To love everyone. And they love... They are not having like... this divided... This is foreigner, this is what they just deal with anyone. Okay. And example like you see in this environment, we have different tribes, we have foreigners, we are just like brothers and sisters. This is what actually make South Sudanese women so unique, they are not differentiated between... Or other tribes. Other tribes and their own tribes. And I think it's all about their strength. As you all know, we've been through so much as a country, but our South Sudanese men have always stood up to be strong. They are the ones who build our homes. Culturally, some of them build their homes. They are the ones who do all the work. And personally, I believe it's just a strength. And that's what makes us beautiful. Do South Sudanese women date out of South Sudan? Yes, they do. Are you dating out of South Sudan right now? No, I'm home. You're home? Yeah. How is home? Can you tell us, how home tastes like? Home is good. Do. Are you dating out of South Sudan right now? No, I'm not. But I have close friends that are dating people out of South Sudan. Out of South Sudan? Have you ever tried before?

Are you dating out of South Sudan right now? You know, funny thing is, me, I'm single. Single and searching? Searching, searching, searching. Searching for South Sudanese or outside South Sudan? Anywhere. Anywhere really. Anywhere really. We're African. We've got like, you know, we've got this whole African agenda. Yes. So how about let's diversify. Let's step into the vision. Yeah, I want to try South Sudan. Yeah, definitely. Do what you said. Yeah, definitely. Are you dating out of South Sudan right now? No, I'm not. You mean you're dating in here right now? Yeah. Tell us something about your man. He's sweet. Tall, dark and handsome. Yeah, absolutely. South Sudanese women are actually very versatile, you know. Open, open to what? Open to what? What are they open to what? We're open to dating outside of just South Sudanese communities, you know. It's like African. It's a personal choice. Yeah, personal preference. Are you dating out of South Sudan right now? Currently no. But have you tried it before? I have, I have. Which country? I've dated people from like other places. Where? Like Kenya, Lebanon, like California. Ghana? Yes. You tried Ghana? No, I haven't. I've tried Ghana actually. How was it? How was it? I'm from Ghana, how was it? It was good. It was good. I mean, was it the best one ever? Well, not really, but he was a great guy. How about you? You've tried out of South Sudan before? Yeah, I have. Which country? Ghana. Ghana. South Sudan. Of course. South Sudan. No, currently. But have you tried it before? Yes, I have. How many countries so far? Which country? Kenya. And Nigeria. Whoa, tell me, how was the Nigerian experience? The Nigerian experience, it was pretty nice. Pretty nice, I mean, and the Canadian experience. It was nice, but it was more of what I know home. Nigeria are very, they're very bubbly people. Oh, okay. They live large. I mean, do you love that life? Fun people? They're amazing people. Who doesn't want to be around fun? Right? West African is not how to have fun. Yay! But my Nigerian experience was different, but it was awesome. It was awesome. I mean, why should somebody out there marry a South Sudanese woman? A South Sudanese woman? Yeah. We are strong, like I said. We are kindhearted, we're hard workers. We got you, we cover you in every way. Be it domestic work, be it out there trying to win the bread. We got you all the way. You don't have to do it yourself. We have you all the way. Sometimes they are attracted by the characters, by the behaviors, and by the South Sudanese women, how they follow the tradition. Like if she loves one man, she stick to that one man. Wow. And what about you? Why should somebody out there marry a South Sudanese woman? Yeah, most of foreigners love to marry a South Sudanese woman because of what? You know, our culture is so unique. We love to stick in one husband. We don't want to move from husband to husband. This is our culture, actually. For us, when we are moving from husband to husband, like even though me and you, we have problems. Example, I have problems with my husband. I cannot leave him because of that problem. Okay, I will find the solution of that problem. And this is the thing all over the world, makes South Sudanese so unique because we are not jumping from man to man to man. What we heard is that South Sudanese women love money. Is that true? No, it's not true. It's not. I hope yes. You don't love money. Anything for my husband. Okay. Who doesn't love money? We all need to survive. We all love money. We all love money. So another thing, they are good at hustling. Oh, okay. Yes, they are. In what way? What kind of hustling? Business wise, they are just trying to make a living for their families and for themselves. Who doesn't love money? But who doesn't love money? We already have the money. Who doesn't love money? But who doesn't love money, though? I don't love money. You don't love money? Well, you know what? Money can sustain us, but I don't think money is everything in life. There is bigger things in life, just besides money. But I think, you know, just to live a comfortable life, that's why you'd have money. But then I don't look at it like it's the main priority. For you? Yeah. You need to have money. Money is everything. I think so. That's what I'm saying. Because all the problems in this country and everyone in this country is about money. Literally. Yeah, money, everything else will be cured. Like, it's the root of all our problems, but at the same time, we can't do without it. Because like, we need to sustain our lives, you know? Yeah. And then just to be comfortable. It is. I met a woman who told me that the sister got married. I mean, the dowry is like 500 cows. Yeah. Okay. So, yeah, that happened and it does happen, but that's only with different cultures. You know, I told you, like, you know, diversity, we've got like 64 tribes. So some tribes actually don't do that. So like, let's say my tribe, we actually don't even keep cows. Okay. So the concept of like, you're marrying a girl for cows is not something that we even have. But it's what it is. Yeah, it's true. Yes, true. But for some other tribes, you know, South Sudanese, there are some others and some others, their dowry is too low. But what is just, we are concentrated on love, you know? Sometimes we are even married with gods. Whoa. Five gods, ten gods, you know? It's not all the tribes that is married with expensive orders. It's not about all the gods. Just marry with money. Whoa. I just get married. Just money? Yeah. I want to say thank you so much for talking to me and I appreciate your time.
