*Kindly click the thumb up !* did you like the boat ride ? would you eat the fish and gari ? llet us know what did you think about this video in the comment section
This is why I love my mama Africa ❤️
we have something strong in common then !! thanks a lot for watching, please feel free to share the video !
I’m an Ewe speaking Ghanaian who totally understands and speaks French…
Our resilience as Afrikans lies within the spirit of endurance we’ve carried for centuries…
Amazing hoe we are the best speakers of all the colonial languages and yet, we still maintain our native tongues.
If there’s a people worth admiring, it’s us.
thanks a lot for your feedback !
I wish you a very good day
U can say that a Million times!!!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🤗🤗🤗
@@Ludo_Liu If you are from FRANCE, please tell your country to STOP stealing from Francophone West African countries. Please tell them to also stop sponsoring military coups. Thank you!
They understand ewe there too in Grand popo
@@yaogan7678They speak ewe.It's part of their native language.
Am so pleased with this Man humility eating at the same pot. God bless you brother to show us this Isolated cities. The poverty is very high in some part of Africa but Resources are plenty it take time but they will get there🙏🏾💪👍
thanks a lot for your warm comment !
Glad you enjoyed the trip , please feel free to discover more videos on the channel !
Thank you again Brother, really enjoyed that visit. Brought back a memory of sitting in a small house in Eastern Ghana near the Togo border watching a friendly lady make me a pair of pants from scratch. I know what you mean about the heat. West Africa is really HOT! Keep up the great work.
that day was extremely hot, I am so glad these videos can bring you some nice memories and so glad to see you bringing more support in the comment section !
Happy Easter brother !
Everything about Africa is beautiful, unusual.

@@Ludo_Liu Awesome, I will be looking forward to the weekend then. I found your channel yesterday snd have watched some videos already, I particularly like the episode when you crossed the Nigeria-Bénin border, the conversation you had with the Nigerian officer, he was as shocked as I was, but most importantly was how you are able to intrigue and engage people with beautiful honest conversations.
Beautiful People in Beautiful village.. Another great one from you mr Ludo. Thanks for sharing and Happy Easter to you and your. Stay bless

Many languages were used but everything became clear between you and your warm hearted hosts.
This time your questions were more detailed and it made conversations very interesting. 👍 Thanks a lot.
21:00 you can actually get lost in that mangrove labyrinth.
26:30 that local language sounds very fluent to me ... words run as quickly as the crabs on the shore. 🙂

i really loved that boat ride in the mangrove ! it was a perfect warm up before the Gari
I Love it😊

Thanks for sharing. Very beautiful boat ride. Good interaction with the villagers.

Do you know these people, or you just randomly show up and make new friends and receive hospitality?
I didn't know them, it happened the way you said, randomly and they were really hospitable !

happy weekend !
Bonne promenade dans la rivière
merci Bernardo !!!
Keep up the good work Ludo! Hope you received our little donation 🙏🏾...With love from the Caribbean Island of Guadeloupe. If you do have a bike tour of West Africa in the future, I'd love to come to Lagos next time with my girlfriend & my best friend. Best wishes!
woow thanks so much, i will check the paypal account, if you did use it I must have had it !
that s really nice of you ! I will be glad to meet you if you are coming around, I am based here, and i won't move now
@@Ludo_Liu yeah I used the paypal link you told me of. Wow it's neat that you are based there for now....I envy you cos we hope to retire to a quiet countryside in West Africa someday. Do you know that you have a few fans here in the French Antilles? Most of us have ancestry from Nigeria & Benin so we do love watching your inner countryside trips outside Lagos. My best friend & I plan to visit Nigeria again by October this year & try to cross the border to Benin this time. I will keep you posted, best wishes Ludo!👍🏾
@@GorillaExploration wow that is so nice to see some people have such interest in my work ! I'll be glad to meet you if you come around ! Happy Easter!
I’m coming over. InshAllah.
Hope your wishes will become true ! Thanks a lot for watching !
Canada is making not only Speech but Thoughts non permissible!! It’s tragic what’s happening up here.
It’s getting better and better now. And yes you need a microphone so we can hear you better
did you have difficulties to hear ?
i am using one, but not on all the shot, cause in fact when i am conversing with someone i should use several.
thanks for the feedback !
yesi need to work on sound more as well as colour maybe...
What music in the background love it
It is called weather any storm, by Cody Francis
Love it too ! thanks for watching !
A really great video! So brave of you to be eating local food! Thank you for taking me on this journey… helps to satisfy my wanderlust!
You are so welcome! I don' t need to be brave for that, if you were tasting it, you'd probably finish the full plate
Happy Easter !
Un village vraiment tout près du paradis par ses paysages et ses habitants. Toujours ce superbe accueil
merci beucoup !!! j'espère que tout va bien pour vous !!!
Nous allons profiter de l'aprem qui laisse un peu de place au soleil apres une pluie tropicale ce matin

bon début de weekend !
Hello Ludo… nice to see your face again . Please I will send you message on your DM to find out something about Benin
Please do! i'll try to answer, you can see my face on the three previous videos in benin :) also if you want :)
What camera and editing sofware do you use? Thank you.
go pro and adobe premiere
They are steeped in tradition
yes traditions are strong there ! thanks for watching
So serene and uncontaminated, perfect place to take a break, eat a lot of organic fish !
Vodoo, simply means free the town or free my people in other words.
thanks a lot for your warm comment, stay connected if you want to see the next episode coming today
I thought Voodoo is used to mean African witchcraft....Magic.!
@@justinamusyoka4986 : That's what the colonizers told the world. Voodoo is an Ewe word and that's the literal translation. The practice is a DIVINATION, eg. AFA
@@thedoingwell Thank you for the clarification,its sad how i've been using the term voodoo.
@@justinamusyoka4986 : You are always welcome. We've got a lot of work to do in creating awareness. It was a pleasure chatting with you. You should check out the "Destruction of the black civilization by Chancellor Williams". Very interesting book with 26 years of research.
Ludo I love your contents, you sound like a Mauritian am I right?
thanks a lot for watching and fr your comment.
I am french
Is it true Nigeria hardly has places like this left due to overpopulation ? Meaning calm beaches.. i did drive inland in Nigeria and see some nice calmer places close to benin City ( not Benin country ).. but at the coast it all seems populated.
you find places like this not far from lagos, you can see one of them in a older video i did. In fact there are many paradise to be found on the coast of Nigeria !

This village is very interesting and how they live , voodoo is what they believe in but they seem just like normal everyday people
thanks a lot for commenting !
Your DNA is more African than a Frenchman .Really enjoyed you videos.
thanks so much Mr Michael ! please feel free to share them :)
You asked how much is a new boat. I wonder, as they do not have much money, do they trade /exchange barter goods when buying a new canoe instead of using cash? For instance might a canoe be worth 4 or 5 goats?
this may happen, yes i agree oon your analyse. however a goat is not cheap at all, it will cost the same price as a boat almost for an adult
I could tell how hot it was in Alongo immediately I noticed the palm fronds hardly moved.
yes it was really hot !
Thanks for visiting once more !
I wish you a great week !
What’s the name of the song playing in the background, please?
it is a song from cody francis, "weather any storm."
hope you enjoyed the video
Ludo, are you a Nigerian - French?
I'm mesmerized by you.
I am a french, or maybe was a french, long ago... i am a citizen of mother earth, now staying in Nigeria since around ten years
@@Ludo_Liu
Your spirituality exudes passion and you cherish
mother earth and your fellow brothers and sisters.
You are a testimony to
JOIE DE VIVRE!🌺❤️🧡💜💐🌹💜💚🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
thanks a lot ! i really appreciate !!!!!!
Vous êtes de quelle origine Ludo?
je suis français
Getting better with your videos and local interactions. Is Nigeria losing you to Benin?
thanks a lot ! No chance, my home is here in Naija, and even if i happy to go out and relax for some holidays, i start to miss the lagosian hustle after very short time out.
I think you should stay more in Benin, safer than Nigeria.
@@debbieolly2989 mumu man
Hey guy. Are you Nigerian?
kind of maybe, yes :)
No offense but u are now looking more Nigerian than me thanks for taking ur time to do this still waiting for u too get a Nigerian citizenship u deserve it for free seriously
no problem sir, i cannot be offended by such a remark, in fact i would consider it as a compliment
Thanks so much for your warm support
How much money you dispending to this travel, in 💶 euro?
I have spent around 400 euros
C'est ça l'Afrique. Est un "blancs" peut aimer de cette manière façon? Non. Même quand tu le salut, il te repondent pas car tu est "noir".
L'homme "noir " c'est Dieu même en personne car il est amour.
quel est le rapport entre ce commentaire haineux et une vidéo qui met en avant l'humanisme ?
@@Ludo_Liu c'est la façon don't ils nous maltraitre chez eux que je compare à l'acceuil que nous les offrons en Afrique. Prénons le cas de Ukraine tout ressament et ce que moi même je vie chaque jours, j'ai froids au dos. Mais nous "noir" n'allons jamais cesser du bien partout dans le monde même si nous sommes maltraiter, humilier par les autres.
Slow down with the eng!ish at the bottom line ,,give us a chance to read it
I wish i could slow down, but i am afraid that the subtitle should follow the rythm of the conversation
I suppose this would have been the same way the invaders came into Africa all nice and questioning, until they decided they wanted what the Africans have.
what are you trying to say here ?
@aria mason and same question here... what is the link with that video topic, the present time and me....
what are you both trying to say ? coming to another topic that have no link with the original topic of the video... is that video about colonizations ? and the crimes happened during that time ? I guess if a black guy was doing the same video you won't jump out of the topic to express your frustrations. Yes I am white, yes i wasn't born here... yes colonization happened, can you trust me if i tell you that I was not here ? that day... my father, neither, his father neither...
then... if you want to comment on the topic or on the people or on the video you are welcome, if you want to keep vomiting your frustrations here, just pass your way and go to another channel
edit : this answer to aria was also answering this comment she did somewhere else: "This generosity is what got them enslaved in the first place. They love the white face. Reverse this and let them go to France to explore some village and see what happens. I'm sure the hospitality would not be reciprocated."
Just outside of the topic and kind of "aggressive" outside of what i expect in my life, and on the channel : peace, and brotherhood...
This might not be a bad idea - if they invade us again - considering the mess we've made of everything since they left!
Common…I bet you are typing these words in France…are you are an invader? Please show maturity and don’t ruin this good work for Mr Ludo….take your negative attitude away from here
Please let us Africans stop being bitter about the past and move on! Ludo is doing a great job educating everyone including Africans about the cultures and lifestyles in Africa we don’t know about. Good job Ludo!😊
