In Nigeria when we say "vegetables" we actually mean green leaf, and not the other stuffs that qualify as vegetables too (carrots, cassava, lettuce, onion etc)
And the tribal mark thing is just on the face, that culture is phasing out though
Also the intestines thingy gets cleaned thoroughly, it's pretty good
Btw you have to be aggressive to survive in Nigeria, if you acting all calm and collected, yeah sorry you'll only end up last in most scenarios... You gotta be tough
Bravo! you guy's are changing the negative narrative about Africa and Africans.
Everything about Africa is same with different names,street foods,life style.One love Africa.love from Zambia 🇿🇲
Well said brother Rob 😘🇬🇭
Every tribes in Nigeria ve their own tribal marks like me I have mine in my face and its my identification where I'm from . Am an Edo guy from the great Benin kingdom in Nigeria I have mine when I was like 5yrs old by my grandmother. May God bless her soul she died last year 113yrs . Luv you granny forever continue to rest in heaven 🙏🏾 solid granny
The tribal marks was also one of the defenses against slavery. Back in the day, If a child is lost, the marks can help with reuniting with the family.
True. And it's not by accident that coastal West Africa is where you find the culture of 'tribal' marks, as that was where the slave ships berthed and took captives from.
That Abacha at 7:50🤩 I'm Nigerian and have eaten a lot of Abacha, but that one looks sooo nice
All the food you saw there are organic and natural healthy and no chemical combination.
The tribal mark is not just the face my grandmother has a whole palm tree drawn on her stomach. During her days it is a beauty standard. Love your channel ❤️❤️
15:51 - Shaki = Tripe (Tripe dish is a delicacy around the world, just cooked differently) 17:33 - Boli = Roasted plantain (NOT banana). BTW we do also eat banana and groundnut (peanut) combo
You're right
That whitish cereal he had in a bowl after the Abacha is called "Ogi" and it is made from grinded corn which is then fermented that gives it a slightly sour taste not millet. The reason why it is white is because they used white corn in making it. You can mix sugar/milk/chocolate powder into it for a more sweet taste
Some parts of Nigeria actually use millet or Guinea corn, esp in the north
Oh yeah thats true.
Its Lagos and the pap is white that's why i said white corn because its more widely used there.
But, we Igbos call it Akamu btw... Everyone, with their own name for it
It's same as GRITS; only its texture is smooth like cream of wheat.
Lagos means everything to me, Lagos is Life
Same here
Port Harcourt is second, treasure base❤❤❤
Once you're big in Nigeria,then you're automatically big in every part of Africa.
Oneafrica onepeople onelove Oneunity 🇳🇬✌
Amazing video guys. As an African,a Nigerian and a Lagosian I appreciate this ❤️
Puff puff is similar to Jamaica's fried dumplings or festivals...fried dough
The more I learn about other cultures, the more I'm convinced we all come from the same place.. my ancestors marked their faces too.. for tribal identification and also as a way of telling family history and also tribal heirarchy ❤
Yay! Another lovely Nigerian reaction!! 🔥🔥🔥.. shout out to the guy making these videos as well 👏🏾👏🏾
Nigerians like food o, we dont joke with food.
I saw this video of one of our Nigerian youtuber in UK where she showed their lunch on a Sunday afternoon and she said that was the heaviest food they ate that day and I was like "Whaaaat!, how can you call those snacks heavy?" That's like snacks to me in Nigeria and you call it heavy?.
We like food abeg, we no wan wahala
i knew you're a nigerian when you said nigerians like food o and o is the keyword
That’s why when people say Africa is so poor, they live with less than 2 dollars a day….
They actually have no idea what you can buy with only 1 dollar. It can be a lot.
When you don’t want to eat local and want to go to a supermarket and those kind of thing. 2 dollars won’t be enough.
Street food is huge in Africa. Every corners, every streets, lot of people sell food. Baked, fried, fresh…something. If you stick to local food and fruits. You can eat an entire week with 10 dollars.
But people always forget the context.
Yes,thank you for this comment
Bolé (Boli/Roasted plantain) and groundnuts (peanuts) are considered a snack over here in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. The ultimate combo is Bolé and roasted fish...i know how many of my Lagosian friends have been converted to the "truth" 😀
Yeah u know the deal
Not Port Harcourt o. Port Harcourt uses a sauce. Bole sauce. Na Edo people and the West dey use groundnut.
The tribal is form identification of tribes and l have one as well on my forehead it was given to me by my grandma the whole of my family has one
Lagos, a city of contrast. The good, the bad and the crazy 🤣. If you get street smarts here nobody can fool or intimidate you anywhere in the world
I swear 😂😂😂
Nice one. Love from Coal city Nigeria
I'm a Nigerian but I don't think I can live Lagos street life, there's a lot of calm and beautiful states in Nigeria to stay and hustle....
Lagos is the best though, I love the rush
@@babayanskireacts554 Lagos is not the best in anything. Make money in Abuja and see, if they beg you to go to Lagos; you won’t agree
@@Peterjev6 I swr 💯
@@Peterjev6 I swear Abuja just dey balance life for person. Lagos life too stressful abeg
I am a Yoruba man, I love those street food....
Yummy and soft, sweet and hmmmmmm
Nice reaction guys, actually for the balance you pointed out, the people usually have a cloth folded and placed on their heads to pad whatever they carry. That gives the balance when the goods are on their heads.
Awesome 👍 your channel is game changer, especially when you enlighten the world on positive attitude about Africa. Thanks for the videos ☺️👊🙏
The tribal marks are given for many reasons
Like a child whose realm of reincarnation wants to take back through illness, And for protection spiritually
Some are for physical issues like against food poison, stroke , etc
Just to mention a few
And every ethnicity has their unique ways and difference of style marking
Some are done on the face , hand , stomach etc
About the tribal mark, it's also given on other body parts like the chest, and back. Where i come from, the southern Nigeria (Bini tribe). It's sometimes given on the stomach from traditional health reasons.
Beautiful video I must say. Lagos captures cultural melting pot, every tribe is represented in that city that is home to over 25 million people (that is just the registered perm residents. If we have to count people that are actually in Lagos, it's over 30 million). The local food is the way to go. The restaurants and eat-ins are so expensive.
You don't need a flat head to carry anything on it, many people roll up a large scarf/fabric, place it on their heads before putting the item on. It takes skill and practice!
Lagos can be A LOT for Nigerians too, so it's okay.
If you have a sensitive stomach, you also don't have to eat street food. I literally eat only roasted plaintain and roasted corn(sparingly), you can get almost every "street food" in restaurants too
I love when he said its good baby food, he was totally correct
Shaki is the stomach of the cow. I think cows have a four chambered stomach so the shaki "meat" can have different patterns on it depending on the part of stomach that it is.
In Nigeria, roots are not considered vegetables. So food stuff like yam, cassava & the likes are not seen as vegetable. The exception is carrots.
One thing people on other continent don't know is . People on African is living there life normal as other people in other continent.
They can't spend 100 dollars on street food in Lagos or anywhere in Nigeria it's not possible.
100 dollars is almost 80,000 Naira when you change the currency
Expensive restaurant you will on meal tho 😂
Thank you exploring our way of life 🙏🏾
It's more Dan 100,000 naira currently. Sadly
@@khadijasulaiman2023 sadly it is 😔😔
Tribal marks on the face back sometimes feet meaning A tribal mark is a specific mark that comes in different shapes and sizes, common among the Yoruba tribe. It is used commonly for identification, beautification, and even for inoculation against childhood diseases.
It does not taste like cornbread, they make it like baking bread but fried instead of baking it.
Thank you so much for what you are doing ❤
I'm southern Nigeria ❤❤❤❤
Well-done My wonderful American couples
BEFRS is my favorite UA-cam channel. I recommend checking out his Madagascar trip as well as his videos from his adopted homeland of Vietnam.
Like I told my American friend,we all eat the same thing,we just cook and prepare it differently that all.
We begin as babies doing this in our play time 😂😂❤
Tribal marks differs according to your culture,some are in the upper arm , stomach and face
Fun fact Sonny actually had a show on the Travel Channel but it got cancelled. I think we benefitted since we get TV studio quality content
Some tribes have it on their arms like the people of OWO Kingdom in Ondo State Nigeria in which the king's palace is the largest in Africa.
Please visit Port Harcourt if you want proper bole
We eat it with a nice tomato sauce and dried fish
We have the best bole in Nigeria and the world
I realllllyyyy like your channel, it's giving family friendly, cultural awareness plus giving a united front as husband and wife, common now👏
Personally I feel you guy should open another channel, with a more professional background like a news channels style and target some more deep rooted and sensitive stories from around the world. ❤️
C’mon now! We’re doing it for the culture!👏🏾👏🏾 We share discussions on this channel. We’ll aim to do some more often. We’ve been asked to do a podcast countless times, but we’re just a tad busy right now. Thanks for seeing us and being apart of the family!
She mentioned "Shaki" that's the stomach, it's the best part
i worked in Nigeria for 4 months, Nigerian food whether it's street food home cooked meals is not fattening it's so very healthy.
Different varieties of food in Nigeria.....yummy
Thanks for sharing; take care 🌈
Don't be scared wifeee. .😂😂 you will love it 💕
I don't know why lagos people eat bole with groundnut. It's really odd😅
This guy was just on Joe rogan a few days ago. The show is hype! Anyone who's had a hotdog or sausage it's usually always wrapped in intestines. Sometimes animals skins.
Hollering is definitely expected in some inner city areas... "SERVE! Gimme a large food, fry chicken and oxtail gravy deh!" lol
I miss Abacha, been ages I had it & am even in Nigeria
I love this particular one
You guys are awesome
Puff puff is my favourite…
I love puff puff
You are doing a good job.
In regards to the tribal marks… it’s mostly a tradition found in most ethnic groups across the Country and can be done in different parts of the body, depending on one’s ethnic group. In my case, I have one on the side of my stomach and one that run from my chest to my navel, and the one on my face are so small it’s hardly noticeable. (Owan, Edo State) 😊.
I think they refer to shrimp 🦐 as crayfish . Their crayfish are ground dried shrimp it’s in powder form added to almost every soup as a spice, it is not crawfish 🦞
This makes me hungry 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Some tribal marks can also be when you were very sick they use it to cure your sickness mixed with some medicines
He dint beat the $100 challenge😃
I live in lagos and I can say u have to be a hustler
Tribal marks are mostly on the face, but some tribes have it on the forearm is for beauty and identification.
You guys go with a lot of Imodium 😀
Africa is blessed you can react to mountain of gold I
Send link.
Lagos is fun and lively
Tribe make are mostly on face but there are some on the belly
The pap ( pudding) is made from corn not millet
it can also be made from millet
Exactly what I was about to say
It can also be made from sorghum
Cow intestines, shaki is just "tripe" Caribbean's will also be familiar with that, not sure if Afro Americans eat tripe, I know Jamaicans use it in manish water and other dishes
Boli miss it so much 😢
He is on TV. Travel Channel I think.
Most people with tribal marks have it on their faces. But I know another tribe in Nigeria, the Bini people, some of them have tribal marks on their belly. Tho some were given as part of the traditional treatment process when they were sick as kids
Bro is speaking the truth. If u live in Lagos and u are not wise. You cant be wise again😂😂😂 forgett!!!. Especially when Nigerian knows u are not Nigerian wise, u gonna bro!!! U are used😂😂😅
Fairplay to the whitie, his taste pallet; bold!
How do I send you guys video of some of Nigerians festivals & rites for your reactions?

Roasted plantain (bole) and groundnut? Port Harcourt people, should we tell them?
African Life style
Make una just visit Nigeria jare!
In D.R. Congo, for the tabwa (tribe) people; tribal marks were mainly for women only.
They were to symbolise that the girl had become a woman and ready for marriage.
Hahajaha banana and nuts. It's respect your retrain to make that joke.
Reason for the marking was to help people not to get lost for ever. Those tribal marking where for identification, and was the reason some Yorubas taken into slavery by europeans were able to trace back their native home, people like Samuel Ajayi Crowther and Sarah Forbes Bonetta Davies both had tribal marks when they were stolen/taken away by the europeans . Samuel Ajayi Crowther graduated with a PHD from oxford university and was the first black Bishop in the Anglican archdiocese. While Sarah Aina Forbes Bonetta Davies was the little african princess carried into slave ship but luckily adopted by Queen Victoria. Aina eventually got married to James Labulo Davies, a lagos business mogul who own merchant ship-liner in the 1800s.
Nice to meet you guys. Tribal marks were the thing back in the day (no longer popular: Amen). It's usually on the face but sometimes on arms. The old generation got them but the new ones don't. You don't usually see young people with them anywhere this days. Very glad about that.
Its pretty old practice mostly on the face tribal marks show u identity ,its gradually facing out ,although still done in villages!
I honestly though his show features on Food Network.
Tribal marks are majorly on the face for easy identification.
Nigerian meals are quite spicy too😂
Pls can you react to Ghanaian street food
By the Best Ever Food Review channel?
Omg Ghanaians its not a competition
By Mark Wiens. I don’t think Best Ever Food Review channel has been to Ghana yet.
It's pronounced like Laygos😅😅 not Legos😊😊😊
Some people get tribal marks on their arms in patterns like tattoos and painted with a green pigment not only on the face.
Lolz , some part of nigeria eats dogs , lolz but i dont eat it , lolz
Shaki is not intestine, it's called stripes.
Hi hi
Tribal marks are not just put on faces alone, it could be on the belly, waist ,hand or other parts of the body. Face is the most common though
Yes one can get tribal marks on different parts of the body, buy most on the face, hands and legs. For tribal identity, family heritage, medical issue, for different purposes though. Once u see one having a tribal marks, u can easily identify where they are from and all that . But people don't really bother much abt these anymore, since phasing out since the late 90's
Was it a collective decision to stop the tribal marks?
@@TheDemouchetsREACT Not collective. As time goes, people just lose interest in ancient practices and a lot of people who live in urban areas would need to travel far into the country where the traditions are still strong to do things right and so it just slowly dies off. It is not banned or anything and is still practiced deep in the country.
It's the same as fat cakes in South Africa
lol.... fat cakes...
And some tribal marks are given due to childhood Illnesses too.
How did they do street food and theres no fried yam, potatoes, plantain, bole with sauce, kpekere ( thinly sliced fried unripe plantain), then the biggest crime ,how can they try pap/ ogi/ akamu without trying Almighty AKARA( BEAN CAKES) ?😂
