Let's keep it cool ! I won't let a senegalese mechanic fix my car's turning signal light without watching him closely, because he might sell the fuel pump, Ahahhaha ! ![]() [img]http://3.bp..com/-vmNBgj5_lQA/TnH8kOx3dpI/AAAAAAAACJE/r7Gm3MucUDA/s1600/map-of-africa.gif[/img] |

pendo89: TanzaniansThis may be truth. But some people say socialist Julius Nyerere was suspicious for being too friendly with Uncle Sam, it made him look like someone on CIA payroll.Nontheless other praized him for being smart enough to navigate smoothly between capitalism and socialism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF3CHxwhObE |

@OP -- From my contacts with numerous Africans, I'll probably say Burkinabes, Ethiopians and Malians. |

cheikh: @OP -- From my contacts with numerous Africans, I'll probably say Burkinabes, Ethiopians and Malians.Burkina and malians? Goodluck with snakes ! 2 million malians in Cote d'Ivoire, more than 3 million Burkinabe in Cote d'Ivoire . The results ? they destroyed this Country supporting war criminal Allassane Ouattara. 2 Likes |

CHIEF AGBE Burkina and malians? Goodluck with snakes ! @ ^^ What does personal/general honesty of the people have to do with politics/war? Ivoriens are generally lazy and much of the work in Cote d'Ivoire are performed by the people from across the border anyway. That there are many "foreigners" in the country is an indication that the Ivoriens are lazy ![]() ![]() |

cheikh: CHIEF AGBEDo u understand yourself? If malians and Mossi were as hardworking as you say, they should have stayed in their savana and plant trees in order to stop the desert from eating their two countries. Burkina Faso has six borders: Mali, Niger, Togo, benin, Ghana, and Cote d'Ivoire. Why is that it is always in Cote d'ivoire they go? because Ivorians are more welcoming people than any other africans. The issue today is foreigners such as malians and Burkinabe have abused ivorian hospitality to destroy this country once one of the best if not the best in Africa. How can you be a hardworking person and not able to build your own home? something must be wrong with you then. ![]() 2 Likes |

Hire a guy from Burkina Faso or Mali as a housekeeper. He will be the most polite person ever until the day he plans to leave. Once his plans are all set, he will steal your belongings, sexually abuse your wife, behead your children, cut your throat, set your house in fire after shooting a bullet in your head when you are asleep,then disappear. These are the most cruel people in the world. When you hire him,he will manage to bring a cousin , broher or a nephew, all of them will connive to do the dirty job. I prefer 1000 times a business associate who is only interested in money ,he will fade away after screwing someone up, without touching family members. ![]() |

Its between Gambia, Botswana, Tunisia and Tanzania. But I will say Gambians, except some of the Senegalese taxi drivers working in Banjul. I have traveled all over Africa, I have not seen any other African country that fear their president and obey laws like Gambians, they fear their president like a God. As a result, Gambians are not ready to commit any serious crime like armed robbery, scamming etc like other West Africans. Rather, most Gambian boys and girls do charms which they wear in their arms in the hope of marrying a rich white tourist. I am saying what I know, I am a frequent visitor to Gambia. They are not shy about their charms, they are bold to tell you that they do it to get rich European tourists. In Gambia, its easy to see a 14 years old boy getting married to a 70 years old white woman. Many old white men and women purposely go to Gambia for sex or marriage. In West Africa is is CERTAINLY Gambians. In East Africa it is Tanzanians, in Southern Africa it is Botswana, in North Africa it should be Tunisians. |

@ good girl they are rwandese not rwandans lolest! but i find them 'humble'
i think this is true. |

Ricky Ross Its between Gambia, Botswana, Tunisia and Tanzania. But I will say Gambians, except some of the Senegalese taxi drivers working in Banjul. @^^ The so called Gambian "honesty" as depicted by you is obviously a "forced" compliance based on fear of the president and believe me it is only recent since the reign of Yahya. I know Gambia and Senegal pretty well too. Many Gambians are actually semi illiterate and believe a lot in mumbo jombo/fetish/ Marabout. Tourism in Gambia has become a new found route to eldorado/heaven(Europe). It has messed up their cultural values. There is general poverty in the land besides the fact that they are generally lazy. As for the other countries you mentioned, you are very correct. |
Re: Who Are The Most Trustworthy People In Africa ? by Nobody: 2:23pm On Oct 10, 2012 |
Ricky_Ross: Its between Gambia, Botswana, Tunisia and Tanzania...... I don't know much about Tunisians and Gambians, but if you think Tanzanians are "trustworthy", think again. Lol. Trust me when I tell you that. Hospitable - Yes Boisterous - Yes Humble - Yes Inviting - Yes Accommodating - Yes (if you speak Kiswahili) But trustworthy? - Hell no! Those guys love easy money because they're too lazy to hassle for anything. They'd rather be con artists, or trap desperate older women so as to milk them dry. Tanzanians (their men especially) are crooks to the bone. They are rarely harsh and hardly violent, so cases of armed robbery are rarely heard in TZ, but, when it comes to the art of "wash wash", adding extra zeros to inflate figures, bouncing cheques and the likes, the Tanzanians win in East Africa. ROBBERY WITHOUT VIOLENCE is the order of the day in Tanzania. How people say they're the most trustworthy, I'll never understand. It is also the home of gigolos (that should tell you something). ![]() |

pendo89: @ good girl they are rwandese not rwandans lolest! but i find them 'humble'Rwandans...Rwandese - semantics. ![]() ![]() Don't know so much about them being humble but I know for sure that they're quite good at putting on a "humble" appearance. Trustworthy? Whooa! They don't even trust each other! (I think it's because deep down they know what they can do to each other). @ topic, Malawians tend to be trustworthy and IMO one of the friendliest Africans. It's not called The Warm Heart of Africa for nothing. ![]() |

lol! wewe! jeez! I have never been to malawi neither have I interacted with them so,can't tell. but ur description of my neighbours is harsh! lol.We kenyans find them slow and polite cz kenyans work like safari ants and are ever on the run. Got a colleague who went there and anytime I email him, he tells me to wait for a reply after 24 hrs cz, well what's the hurry ! ![]() I know they find kenyans to be rather arrogant and proud,(wajuaji)so they keep provoking yet they they need us and vv. Whatever the case,I think am comfortable around a tanzanian.100 times more with the gigolos. ![]() |

pendo89:EVERYONE finds them slow and polite. Lol. ![]() I lived and worked in Dar for a while and other foreigners would say the same thing about Tanzanians, including Zambians and Ugandans (who we also find to be relatively slow). pendo89:Lol. They loved saying "subiri kidogo dada....dakika sufuri". You'd go to a restaurant and you'd be told to "subiri". A bank teller would tell you to "subiri". A supermarket attendant would tell you to "subiri" while he/she is swapping stories with a colleague. I raised my voice enough times while there, I was tired of "kusubiri" for everything! ![]() pendo89:They are experts at making you feel comfortable and maybe that's probably why they can easily be con-artists (specifically their men!). No violence, just a little smooth talk and you're done. You'll be robbed without even knowing it. Never do business with them. Matapeli! ![]() pendo89:This shouldn't be a problem. ![]() ![]() The normal male population in TZ is always on the lookout for women anyway (that's the only time they're quick), and because they are often VERY good looking, seductive and smell really nice, it will just be up to you to pick the "best of the best". ![]() ![]() pendo89:Plenty of them in Tanzania and I've been to Lilongwe and Mzuzu severally. I've got friends there. |

Ricky RossMet with some gambians before, they display modesty most of the time.They look too nice to the point one wonders whether they are honest or hiding something. ![]() Tunisians, maybe yes. Many come out quickly and tell in a nice way what they really mean. Tanzanians? ' don't know them that much. 'Met two of them before, they seem very welcoming and don't try to put anybody down. Pushing further, egyptians look like kenyans to me, they need to be watched closely. It looks like they always have another plan set aside. ![]() |
