O que eu sei é que esse subreddit é sobre Angola e a nossa cultura, então acho importante que nós, angolanos, eduquemos as pessoas sobre a nossa cultura.Apelidos são algo cultural em Angola. Mesmo dentro das famílias, as pessoas têm apelidos que podem ser nomes, algo que você gosta de comer, um objeto que você ama ou até emoções. É por isso que em Angola você ouve pessoas a serem chamadas de Tio Chorão, Tio Feijão, Tio Sorriso, Tio Funge etc. Faz parte da nossa cultura.

Quando começámos a receber imigrantes, essa cultura continuou e começámos a dar apelidos a todos os cabo-verdianos: Budjurras, congoleses: Langa, são-tomenses: Santola, portugueses: Tuga (sim, fomos nós que inventámos esse apelido), malianos: Mamadou, senegaleses: Sene, guineenses: guigui e vários outros.
O Sene vem de SENEgalenses, Mamadou porque é um nome muito popular no Mali, principalmente entre famílias malianas em Angola. Langa veio do Zaiko, uma banda que criou um som chamado Langa que era muito popular na comunidade congolesa em Angola. Tuga veio de PorTUGAl.E não podemos esquecer o nosso próprio apelido Mangop.

We’ve got a friendly weekly 6-a-side game at Frenford Clubs, Ilford every Sunday from 11am–12pm.

We’re a mixed group with people from different backgrounds and ability levels, and I thought I’d see if any Angolans in London fancy joining us.

You definitely don’t need to be an amazing footballer. It’s just a relaxed weekly kickabout and a good way to meet people.

📍 Frenford Clubs, Ilford

🕚 Sundays, 11am–12pm

⏰ Arrive around 10:45am

👟 Astro trainers only

Goalkeepers rotate. No slide tackles, aggression, shouting or arguments.

If you’re Angolan and based in London/East London and fancy joining us, comment or DM me.

Hi all! I'm Angolan/Belgian, based in Luanda/Antwerp, and I'm looking to connect with local English speakers for work, whether that's collaborating on a project, freelance work, or building a team. If you're good in English and based here, drop a comment or send me a DM. Would love to hear what you do too!

Existe algum site confiável onde eu possa comprar um domínio .ao para Angola? Os únicos sites que encontrei até agora parecem ser sites fraudulentos.

I'm a Canadian (F34) and looking to travel Angola mid-October to mid-November (that's the only block I've got possible, and I know the weather will be changing during that time)

I'm trying to figure out the top spots I NEEEEED to visit in that time, and the best options to get from place to place. It doesn't seem like buses are super often or popular?

Normally I public transit everywhere whenever I'm exploring a country, even if it means a 15hr bus rather than a quick flight lol!

What are the big names for bus companies? Or pre-booking websites if I need to pre-book bus tickets?

Any surf spots that are beginner-intermediate waves at this time of year? I'm a longboarder and have been surfing for 5 years, but love little "baby waves" that I can walk on my board and play on, rather than ripping short-board waves.

I've also lived in Brazil 6 months of the year, every year, for the past 5 years, so my Portuguese is pretty good :)

ANY TIPS OR HELP AT ALL IS VEEEERY MUCH APPRECIATED <3

Is there anyone who can tell me whay happened to Nacobeta?

I remember I was watching the tv and then I have heard Ba ba ba etc. Which was Nacobeta's original song alongnwith Puto Português I think, on the first listen I didn't rememeber where I have heard that song before but them it came to my mind that it was a song I used to love when I was little.

The commercial playing that song was a McDonald commercial and I was so so so happy that an Angolan song made it to a commercial of such a bit company so curious I went and search what happened to Nacobeta and with my deepest sadness I have found out that he died some years ago, one thing I hate is how hard it is to find info's about Angolan singers or kuduristas especially when you try to find them when you live outside.

I have tried everywhere to find more info about him but it only said that he died cause he was sick (I think Cancer) but I am not sure.

With that said I was wondering if McDonalds pay him for the song or the money got to his family (don't know if he had wife and kids, but even if he didn't he surely had a family of origin) because seeing his family struggle after making all thise money from the commercial would be a punch to Nacobeta's memory plus investigating I have found out it wasn't even the original song but a Buraka Som Sistena remix.

Does anyone khere knew Nacobeta personally? Or knew his music? Does anyone know if his family get the royalties from the commercial?

Can someone connect me to a local university/ college that needs a project management instructor online?

Thank you.

New to Luanda from San Diego. Visiting for a few weeks. Looking for friends n what not. 24m.

​Olá a todos,

​Tenho 17 anos, sou de Angola e estou atualmente no último ano do ensino médio, no curso técnico de Perfuração e Produção de Petróleo e Gás.

​Estou a planejar o meu futuro universitário e pretendo mudar de área para Engenharia de Máquinas Marítimas / Mecânica Naval em Portugal (com foco na ENIDH). Tomei esta decisão por procurar:

​Maior versatilidade de atuação profissional;

​Oportunidades tanto no setor onshore (terra) quanto offshore (mar);

​Melhores remunerações e maior mobilidade no mercado internacional.

​No entanto, por ser uma mudança grande de país e de vida, tenho alguns receios e gostaria de ouvir a experiência ou conselhos de quem conhece a área ou passou por um processo semelhante:

​Estágio Embarcado e Licença Marítima (STCW): Como estudante internacional da CPLP, quão desafiador é conseguir o estágio praticante necessário para obter as horas de navegação e a licença marítima em Portugal?

​Exames de Acesso e Adaptação: Qual é o nível de exigência real nas provas de ingresso (Matemática/Física) para o Estatuto do Estudante Internacional?

​Pressão Familiar e Autonomia: O investimento da minha família é alto e o medo de falhar ou não me adaptar ao morar sozinho tão jovem pesa bastante.

​Aos profissionais da área náutica/offshore ou a quem já emigrou para estudar em Portugal: como foi a vossa trajetória? Que conselhos dariam a alguém na minha posição para se preparar melhor desde já?

Why does every security guard I come across have guns. I just got to Angola last night, I noticed there are no traffic light too.
