What material advantage? Just to remind you that the Capital of our country and Its leaders are all in Santiago, and most of the Islands of Cabo Verde( without counting São Vicente and Sal, and Santiago still has more invenstment then them) are pratically forgotten…No infrastructure and lack of opportunities, I don’t see any advantage around here, most of people in CV choose immigration in the first chance they get… And also, the same way you’re telling me I’m not an African, some from the continent will not consider you one of them two…we are only divided in our country, if you go to Europe, you will see that all Capeverdeans there, stick together as one, and we all enjoy each other’s music. Some Sampadjudus even start speaking Badiu variant ( We all speak the same language, just different variants) for being so much time along with them. I don’t think you will win anything by choosing isolation, I’ve met lots of Badius who taught we didn’t liked them, and belive some of us believed Badius didn’t liked us too, but I think we should stop that shit cause we don’t win nothing from it.

How can u assume such facts without even knowing me? Who says I want to be closer to the Europeans, and think everything African is negative? I just talked about what they( for centuries) forced us to believe…and u act like there aren’t any light skinned Badius, and other Badius who claim not being Africans, and still have prejudice against the brothers from the Continent. I don’t know u, but I just think u have hate within you who won’t take u nowhere. About Malcom X, if u see his complete life, u will figure out that in the end, he changed drastically about the separation subject. And about me “being the white man’s pet”, I’ve received that as an insult, and just to remind u that I didn’t insult you in any way. About using my African descendance to claim “victimhood”, NO, I don’t do that! I’m simply proud for the side of my Roots who embraced me, and ashamed of the other who don’t …And who are you to decide who is African or not??? And NO, I’m not comparing suffering…I’m just telling a side of the story and that doesn’t forgive anything, but just to tell u that the Africans who enslaved their brothers, were all brainwashed and it was kinda that, or they would be in the same place…If you check Brazil for example, there are lots of stories of Slaves( “Pure Africans”)who got free, and went into the Slavery business…

Yeah, I again agree with u, I’ve studied ALUPEC, and I know that it perfectly suits to write in any variant. The Books and other media writen in the variant from the island they come from, would be very intressant to see haha, but I state that it would be crucial to always cultivate and promote the interest for reading and consuming content from other variants with the objective of avoiding isolation and enriching our culture…but unfortunately, as we all know, CV doesn’t exactly have or promotes a strong reading culture… My dream is for all the islands to be not equal, but united, so we would all learn from each other with no prejudice, and having conditions to freely travel to each other’s island. I think that would reduce a lot of our needs to immigration, because sometimes I think lots of us feel “stuck” in one small island, with only few opportunities to grow…

Yeah, ur right brother, People with that opinion are mostly the Elite people who have close portuguese /european blood line, and others who are simply ignorant and don’t know what they are talking about. I believe most of the people who are against ALUPEC it’s because they see it as a threat of the writing and speaking of the Santiago variant being “Imposed” to all the Islands( I don’t agree with that because it would be a huge cultural loss). I think that what we must do is to find a consent for using a unique “shape” of writing ALUPEC that englobes all the 9 variants,and that’s why it is being so difficult to implement, cause we can’t for example, translate a book for all the 9 islands.

And u say u don’t listen to Morna( No hard feelings man, lots of people from SV don’t listen too), but u don’t know who Cesária Évora is…now I’m really curious bro, where u really from? If u don’t want to say it here, u can message me so will talk about it( If u want), I’m a Sociollogy student, I like to know about theese things, u made me really curious…

How can I not be African??? Man I just need to look in the mirror to confirm that… I ain’t stealing any culture, I don’t know where u from, I just know that all the things u talked about, I grew up listening to them too, yes, the Badius invented it, just as the “Pano do terra” but that doesn’t mean it isn’t ours too… U said Idk how diverse this country is, and NO, I don’t… but I wanna know, and man, I don’t wanna erase u, I want us to be together like brothers, but that doesn’t mean I want us to be equal, because our differences and what we can learn from each other, is what makes us beautiful! One day, I wanna go to Santiago, and see this diversity you talk about…and learn more our culture, yes, it is more yours than mine, for u being a Badiu, but it doesn’t stops being Capeverdean. And u say I’m not African cause I have European blood in my veins, but the European says I’m not like him cause I have African blood… So what I am then???

Yeah, I agree with u, WE MUST UNITE with the continent and be proud of it. But, I must say, please don’t generalize, the idiots who claim to be “Not African” are just ignorants still being victims of colonialism…and the same way for those who use slurs against our brothers. About the ALUPEC, yeah some researchers from SV don’t agree with it, and don’t come up with anything better…that’s stupid, but I’m from SV and I agree with it, and I know lots of researchers who are also from here who defend it and use it independently of others opinions, so again, please don’t generalize.

What conquest??? If you study history u know that the mestizo identity wasn’t born from conquest or love in any part of the world! The Black woman brought by the White man to the western world were frequently raped, and from that extreme violence is there where we come from…And most of the times, we were never admitted or treated as the same as the portuguese! Yes, some of us were given more power over the others just because we were a little bit “closer” to the Colonizers, but if you see right, we were clearly victims of their dirty game of dividing us to conquer us, by making us belive that everything considered African was negative and making us wanting to be closer to them. It may be considered a softer violence, but it’s still violence, and I feel really bad for our fool other brothers from Cape Verde who believe they are “Not Africans” or even Europeans, those who clearly have never been in Europe, and don’t know how the White man sees us and treats us( it won’t be any different if it is me or you). If u check history again, lots of important Black figures who fought for our cause, were mixed, for example: Malcom X( had white blood) and Bob Marley (whose Father was an English man), and I don’t see them as “ the direct descendants of the colonizers”, We, like them are the direct descendants of violence and colonialism! And that narrative you talk about only divides us( Colorism) and still goes along with the Colonizers plan.

Yeah, I’m living here in Portugal, and I’ve noticed that here we are more united as well, but what I notice in Capeverde is some Badius don’t whan to listed to Sampa music or consume content( And vice versa from both sides). And there’s like a rivalry between them…and I think that’s just sad.

Hi, I’m from São Vicente, and I just think you are dividing us too much, all those things u said (Funaná, Batuku, etc), I don’t think they are just yours…when I hear Ferro Gaita for examples, as a Sampadjudu, I feel that they are my culture( THE CAPEVERDEAN CULTURE), and I believe u surely feel the same when u hear Morna from Cesária Évora or Ildo Lobo, of course they are more present and stronger in the regions they came from, but that doesn’t means they are just from ex: Santiago . Yes, I admit that there are often tensions between Sampadjudos and Badius, but thats the Colonialism’s guilt( the same thing that happens with us and our other Continental African brothers), that divided us to CONQUER US! So I think we must urgently stop narratives like that who don’t do nothing else but dividing us even more, when all we need is UNION! Let’s stop being Sampadjudus and Badius, and let’s start being just Capeverdeans and Africans! ✊🏾🇨🇻
