Fiji, a country in the South Pacific, is an archipelago of more than 300 islands. It's famed for rugged landscapes, palm-lined beaches and coral reefs with clear lagoons. Its major islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, contain most of the population. Viti Levu is home to the capital, Suva, a port city with British colonial architecture. The Fiji Museum, in the Victorian-era Thurston Gardens, has ethnographic exhibits.

On my last day, I had a chance to meet some Fijian natives and we had a chance to talk about a variety of topics regarding Fiji. What they said about Africa truly surprised me. We are all the product of our environment. I am glad that I am to shed some light on some unknown that many people have about various subjects around the world. If you enjoyed the conversation, kindly hit that like button, subscribe and share the video. Thanks so much for watching !

As an indigenous Fijian, I would like to point out that the title you mentioned is offensive and does not represent all Fijians. It makes the general population appear uneducated and is very misleading as it generalizes the views of a small group to represent an entire population. I would really appreciate it if you could change the title to "Views on Africa from a Group of Fijians" instead of "What Fijians Think of Africa."

I've always wanted to travel there. When I was younger I worked in a clothes store in Central London. One day a Fijian man and white lady were in the store. They were both looking my way and eventually the white lady came over to me and asked where I was from. I told her my family are from the Caribbean and she responded that her Fijian friend told her that I am from Fijian like him. I knew at the time that the women wore their natural hair in afros and I used to wear my hair the same way.

We despise violence and we vibe with nature. I am glad and Proud of being black in this life journey. God trusted us with one of his best characters LOVE. And we have not failed him we give love to everybody.

@@IvainTures LOL, You cannot tell the difference between Fijian and Indo-Fijian.? In reality Ivain they don't mixed like that with each other. Both speak different languages, and different religions. Majority of Fijians are Christian, and Indians are majority of Hindus, some Muslims, and when i went to Fiji few Indo-Fijian Christians. Many Fijians look typically Melanesians whether it is Papua New Guinea, or Vanuatu, but some Fijians are mixed with Polynesians mainly people from Tonga or the people in Eastern Fiji, and i met a few Fijian/Samoans. But you are learning.

@Josephcollins-yz9jq Ай бұрын

I have thousands of Fijians as Facebook friends and i can say without any contradiction that they are few people on earth that are as motivated to achieve academic success as Fijians. There are three leading universities in Fiji, University of South Pacific, University of Fiji and Fiji National University. These universities turn out thousands of graduates every year. Large numbers of Fijians also study at universities in Australia and New Zealand and also at the University of Papua New Guinea and University of Goroko. So Fiji is not all about rugby and Farming. There is much dignity in farming. Had you visited certain villages in Fiji, you would have noticed the respect many Fijians have for Tanzania.

Look at them. Look at the people in Vanuatu. You will then see someone was lying about something.

Thank you so much for your educational and informational video. I have only met one Fijian person in my life. She was married to a white man. She was beautiful and friendly. The guys you are talking with seem to be nice and friendly people. Farming is very important. However, Fijian may want to balance farming with some other fields to help them to produce simple farming tools. Fields such as engineering, technology, nurses, teachers, medical doctors, lawyers, trade school, and more. For them farming to growing their own food is very good, important, and makes Filian to be self-sufficient in agriculture and be successful in other fields. I like their simple and laid back life.
