00:00My biggest dream was to always go to Africa.
00:04I booked the flights to Benin Republic and after two weeks I found out that I got pregnant.
00:11In two years she will be a single mother.
00:14Black men hate weave on black women but will let white women parade in black aesthetics, black hair and black accents.
00:22I didn't notice that my accent changed. My accent turned Nigerian when we fell in love.
00:27Who is gonna tell her? Tell me what.
00:31My name is Sarah and this is my partner Cyprine and my accent turned Nigerian when we fell in love.
00:39In 2021 I saw this beautiful lady on the story post of an artist in Nigeria, Olamide.
00:46She was vibing to the song with her then boyfriend.
00:49I saw she loved horses and I was like, ah, this is really my person.
00:55Then I saw his page with dancing and dancing to Afrobeats.
00:59I think in 2022 we started to keep more contact because then she was not in a relationship anymore.
01:07And my biggest dream was to always go to Africa.
01:11So any country in Africa.
01:17I booked the flights to Benin Republic.
01:20And I think from the first day that we met, we were just together.
01:25We never said, are we together now?
01:27At the beginning, of course, when I went, I did not tell my family actually that I went to Africa.
01:33I just traveled alone and I only told my mom like five days ago.
01:39I said, mom, I'm actually going to Africa.
01:41What? You're going to Africa?
01:42I said, yeah.
01:43I did not tell anybody because I knew that people would come and say, ah, Sarah, I don't think you should go.
01:48It is too dangerous.
01:50It is too this.
01:51And I was like, no, I just want to do what I want to do.
01:58This is a dish I ate for the first time in Benin called Banga soup.
02:04This is the palm cream.
02:06We have already cooked meat ingredients for it.
02:09Banga spice.
02:10Let's get started.
02:12Okay, show us the dish.
02:14Ah!
02:15Damn, you're cool.
02:16We eat all the food before it's finished.
02:26After we met, I actually went back home.
02:29And after two weeks, I found out that I got pregnant.
02:32It was not planned.
02:33It was not intentional.
02:35And we said, okay, but we are sure that we want to keep the baby.
02:39I said, okay, that's meant to be.
02:41It's meant to be.
02:42It's meant to be.
02:43But he could not be with us while I gave birth because they didn't allow him to come.
02:51The visa took too much time.
02:53And I had to give birth alone.
02:55Yeah.
02:56I had to see everything on the video call.
02:58Yeah.
02:59It was very, very emotional.
03:01But now you're here.
03:02Yeah.
03:03Yeah.
03:04Yeah.
03:05Yeah.
03:06I'm proud of it.
03:07Ah!
03:08There it goes.
03:09One minute now.
03:11One minute.
03:12No.
03:13It does.
03:14It doesn't like the testing.
03:15Never actually speaking.
03:16It's not finished.
03:17We met after one year again.
03:19After one year.
03:20I flew with our newborn baby.
03:22Four months old.
03:23I flew alone to Africa.
03:24To Benin.
03:25And we met us then again.
03:28I actually met our child only the second time I'm meeting Sarah.
03:35And me not seeing him in real life till it got to four months.
03:39It was something I never thought.
03:41I knew I wanted to be a father someday.
03:44But I never thought that was how everything was going to come out or pan out.
03:49But yeah.
03:50And since then, she's been visiting till we could actually reunite in Germany.
03:58Voila.
03:59My darling wife made us a nice grand dish.
04:03I can't wait to start it.
04:06While learning to make manga soup online, I also learned and picked up some pidgin and
04:13Yoruba words.
04:14And somehow, Max had also turned Nigerian.
04:17It just happened.
04:18Proud of me, baby.
04:20To the seeds.
04:22Okay.
04:23I've noticed before.
04:25Mmm.
04:26So sweet.
04:28Our TikTok page started growing.
04:32It was there that we got a lot of judgment.
04:35Judgment like, in two years, she will be a single mother.
04:40I'm with her because of the German passport.
04:44They said, don't trust African men.
04:47See this one.
04:48Please don't come back to Europe.
04:51Somebody said, disgusting.
04:53Disgusting.
04:54Oh, wow.
04:55Wow.
04:56Who is going to tell her?
04:57Tell me what.
04:58Tell her.
04:59Yes.
05:00Somebody said, African men are gay and chitras.
05:04Trust me.
05:05I know for real.
05:06Oh, wow.
05:07Yeah.
05:08Single mother incoming.
05:10I like men as now gold diggers.
05:13Oh, wow.
05:14Yeah.
05:15Really?
05:16Am I digging gold?
05:17Oh.
05:18Somebody said, black men hate weave on black women.
05:22But will let white women parade in black aesthetics, black hair and black accents.
05:27And you have the Nigerian accent.
05:29Oh.
05:30She should keep crying.
05:32I think we are strong people.
05:34We don't care.
05:35Like, we just live our lives.
05:37I like the judgment because it makes us viral.
05:42Oh, gentleman.
05:45We're about to show you some African attires and Greek traditional attires.
05:51This amazing Ankara material.
05:55The western part of Nigeria.
05:58We are the Yorubas.
06:00I'm a Yoruba boy.
06:01And we live there Ankara for events like weddings, naming ceremony.
06:08I think I speak Nigerian English for like since 2019 now.
06:13So six years.
06:14She's a prof.
06:15I'm somebody when I speak, I can adapt to the language then.
06:18Or when I speak Greek, I adapt to Greek.
06:19When I speak German, I adapt to German.
06:21She picks up the accents everywhere she goes.
06:24And this is my Greek traditional dress.
06:28Can you hold this please?
06:30It's very heavy.
06:31It's very heavy.
06:32In Greece, each area has their own kind of dresses, their own language, their own dances.
06:37So this dress is now coming from the area Pontos in Greece.
06:42Shout out to the Greek family, man.
06:45I didn't notice that my accent changed until one day I was speaking.
06:50And then my friends came and said, Sarah, what are you speaking?
06:54I cannot even really understand you.
06:55Are you speaking English?
06:56I said, yeah, I think it's Nigerian English.
07:00It is heavy because this was usually for the people that were a bit richer.
07:05They would wear this on their head like this.
07:10But now we wait for dancing our Greek traditional dances.
07:14What I love about Sarah is determination to get things done.
07:29And I think as a man, you need a woman who is driven.
07:35I love that she has a very beautiful eyes.
07:39It's amazing, you know.
07:41It's a long distance and finally, we are here.
07:47What I love most about Cyprien is he's passionate about wanting to have a family
07:52and passionate about wanting a good life.
07:55And for those judging our relationship, I pray you find healing.
08:00Keep on.
08:03Keep on.
08:04We are here.
08:05Hopefully you find healing.
08:07Go swipe, love don't judge.
08:30Be true.
08:31Bye.
08:32Bye.
08:33Bye.
08:34Bye.
08:35Bye.
08:39Bye.
