Friendliest People In Africa? by UKBobo(m): 9:26pm On Mar 27, 2012
I have been lucky enough to travel extensively in Africa and can say that I was welcomed the most warmly and with genuine fraternal love....in Senegal (especially in Casamance - near Ziguinchor). Sierra Leone comes a close second though! What do you think?

Zambia/zimbabwe People are very Nice. Senegal People are Nice too. Sudanese People are also Warm, North and south except when they are drunk though.
Re: Friendliest People In Africa? by UKBobo(m): 10:54pm On Mar 27, 2012
Damn. So you know about the Sudanese and alcohol. World War 4 anew. Somalians and Eritreans too cannot handle their drink and should avoid alcohol. I went to a Somalian dance once and at one point chairs (in all directions) started flying over my head. I cut out of there with a quickness. grin

I think its the Francophone countries with exception of Cameroun.

They are soooo warm and very accomodating to foreigners especially those that are from non-french speaking countries,IMO.

IGBOS are the most accomodating people not only the whole of Africa but the WORLD! We dont expect people to learn and speak our language cause we know you might not find it easy. We dont exclude you in our conversations knowing fully well that you dont understand it. We are not afraid of being dominated in our land cause we are already a domineering people;case in point; ask th southwesternerss..lol. We will never ever allow a foreigner to be intimidated,oppressed or marginalized in our land,except if you are troublesome. We will offer you food and goodies if you are a good person. Infact,if a foreigner gets in a fight with a native in Igboland we are more likely to side with the foreigner because we dont want the foreigner to feel like he has no help. IGBOS are indeed blessed but dont come near our women. . .lol

Most people from the Southern African countries (with the exception of SA) tend to be generally friendly, but my experience with [size=18pt]Malawians[/size] will forever be on my mind. I can't think of friendlier people with so much courtesy to offer. Malawians will go out of their way to make a foreigner feel at home.
Another group that I can think of are the [size=18pt]Northern Ugandans[/size]; such wonderful people. kiss

Ivory Coast is fire - I was there during the Coupe music revolution from 2008-09. Il bouge trop. Very friendly and I will not even talk about the fairer sex. Bete, Guere, Baoule all of them.

Ugandans from the North - Acholi speakers - cool ; Tigrinya from Eritrea - very reserved on the outside, but an inferno of emotion inside.

West Africa: Ghana, Togo, and Ivory Coast have some of the nicest people
East Africa: Eritrea and Kenyans are very nice people.
South Africa and Central Africa: Namibia, Angola, Congo, etc are also nice
North Africa: Moroccans and Egyptians are equally nice but not as nice as the sub-saharans.

So,you think Igbo people are not nice and welcoming,or are you just avoiding tribal bashing ?Ask none IGBOs who have lived in the east how they were treated. The only issue with the IGBOs is that they have this crazy ambitious nature and sometimes some people mistook it for "invasion". An average IGBO man doesnt take what doent belong to him rather he will work hard and get his own. Kemesia nu!

umm, I thought we rate others outside of our community. Of course Igbo are welcoming and nice but I'm rating those not within my community.

Then they are not friendly

I would say friendliest people depends on the individual and not a group of people. I have met many friendly people from Burkina Faso, Mali and Senegal.
Re: Friendliest People In Africa? by Nobody: 2:32am On Sep 09, 2012
The friendliest Africans I have met personally were Cameroonians, kenyans and Ivorians.
