Excited for more NY vids. That guy in the coat who knew Wizkid and Davido was woke! Interviewer, the least u could do is tell that girl we speak English instead of nodding your head blindly.
She might not even knkw her self she look like who have being to Nigeria ones in her life. I dont know how this people get there interviewers. If the have the good ones this channel whould have being a big success.
Bishap, there are many beggars and homeless people in New York . I even saw some picking stuffs from dustbin, so don't think only Africans suffer oooooo
I wasn't expecting people to know where Nigeria is let alone where Nigeria is. Only countries they teach us in school are of the white man's land and South Africa if at that. And I mean. the last time I was taught something about Africa was like 9 years ago
I like Batta Box but not this edition. She went to the wrong areas to hear the answers she was looking for.. The female hosts on the Lagos version have better presence and appear more experienced. In defense of New Yorkers , people from every country live here. From all those countries there are many religions , races and customs. So a New Yorker may not know Lagos but be informed about so many other places just through association. Most here know Nigeria before any other African country.
I was thinking this same thing. I am nigerian but i was born in new york city i visit nigeria all the time and i will tell you factually speaking 99% of black americans dont know anything about africa or nigeria to be exact and i will not be suprise that the interviewer dont even know much about nigeria either.
Pls guys notify us again when you guys will be heading to......34 street herald square...or Times Square....42nd street...abeg....abeg....thanks........i go come....with...plenty......people......abeg.....oooooooo
+Chinny Kelly the guy say the truth, Nigeria is giant of Africa by mouth, in only Lagos homeless ppl is more than ppl that hv homes, I go some places in Lagos I cry for Naija, see many ppl sleeping under brigde, bad Govts don't care, they only care for stealing & looting money to abroad
+ray leo Actually he is right you knw but it just hurts when u hear someone say that especially on video like this.....and guess what that is actually when it really dawned on u that yeah really my country needs to be fixed......and really..bad.....honestly...........ciao.....
They are in neighborhoods of Brooklyn. If she went to Eastern Parkway or Brownsville or other neighborhoods she would have gotten my informed answers. She's in Union Square, Manhattan, which isn't ethnic.
I've read some of the comments and I think people are misinterpreting when the woman says "I don't speak the language they speak." People are taking this comment too literally when she could have meant it figuratively. Even if she meant it literally she would probably think she was listening to a foreign language when she heard people speaking pidgin in Nigeria. Besides, most Nigerians are going to speak their tribal language like Yoruba, Ibo and Hausa among each other. There were two Nigerian women who worked in the office where I work and they always spoke Ibo when they were together.
did she just said will u live in new York or Nigeria , .. one small job in new York is like a bank managers yearly salary ooo… now ask me again if I want to live in Nigeria
In America, they don't think in Africa that a shame didn't they do like Geography at school , I guess they were not paying attention while they being taught at school it a shame
+eon001 I'm American and I've never had a passport but that hasn't stopped me from knowing a ton of stuff about Nigeria and several other African countries and even more about Europe, Japan and so many other places.
Wow lol glad I remember most of world history and that a lot of countries in Africa do have English as a primary language Lagos also has very beautiful woman of all shades
Abi o +Uchebuaku Moshe-Ilok especially all our presenters👏👏😝😝 Welcome to BattaBox! We hope you like all our other Naija videos, and don't forget to click Subscribe👍🙆
we Nigerians we do speak English life is also perfect living in Nigeria in case you are scared of safety also we are not suffering. Battabox please next stop italy + Paris i can work with you if you want cheers
Spot on JOYSAMSON82.The most georgraphically challenged and brainwashed creatures you could ever find on earth are westerners.Thanks to their distorted education curriculum and corporate media propaganda.
If you go to the hoods like Harlem, Bronx or Brooklyn, the responses would be even more shocking. Some folks in the Bronx have never even been to Brooklyn, let alone know anything about Lagos. Many folks out here are very content with their CHICKEN LEGS. :))
U guys in the comnents here are jokers ask Americans about Japan, Spain, England and they will get it bcoz they are highly recognized worldwide.... Now wat has Nigeria and Africa done to get recognition. Corruption and thievery??
that lil lady talking about she doesn't speak the language Nigerians speak. Girl hold up we real quick, the language we speak is english thank you very much.
Some do suffer there and that is a prime fact. Been there, know many people there and about to marry a Nigerian man. Some do have it very hard and jobs are scarce and pay is a mess. Not to mention the electricity problems, corruption and so on. However, most people handle being poor way better than some people here in the USA. Always smiling and being positive about the next day. Lagos and surrounding states have many beautiful places, nice people, and good experiences. Going back to visit in a few. Also, some people are easier to understand than others. However, Pigeon is used often and is easy for me to understand and use somewhat. lol!
Sad... i was there recently and would've have great answers for you guys. I'm obsessed with Nigeria and Africa in general. It's disheartening to see racist trolls in the comments lets delete them because they bring negativity and whining I stead of good suggestions for solutions.
Just because he is white woman does not mean he self hating will apply thecsame backward mentality if you see black girl with a white man. This is the mentality that's destrying black race and it's getting worse as years pass by
OK, please miss interviewer, I think it's your job to correct them, most of these people are ignorant, you ask them a question and they answer base on what they see on news and you just nod your head there instead of clearing them of their ignorance.... That's why I love that "wode Maya" guy.
Have you been to Lagos The most populated city in Africa... With a lot of people around the world Richest city in Africa... Even south Africa wouldn't dare
Donny Osharode Actually people in Nigeria speak what they are called it bidgin or something like that, I think they mixed english with their native language and their accent very hard to understand it for me and mayby for the all foreigners who aren't used to it. .
Lagos is in Portugal, so the guy who said Lagos was in Europe was technically right. Lagos, NG was named by the Portuguese.
+ShadeyBangs true story
Ah! Sade you're on point! Both informative and looking fleek in the profile pic
+Scopps94 thank you!
ShadeyBangs lagos is the largest city Africa what are you talking about
Shut up, America named us
Excited for more NY vids. That guy in the coat who knew Wizkid and Davido was woke! Interviewer, the least u could do is tell that girl we speak English instead of nodding your head blindly.
She might not even knkw her self she look like who have being to Nigeria ones in her life. I dont know how this people get there interviewers. If the have the good ones this channel whould have being a big success.
I hate to see or hear people saying "they're suffering in Africa " like seriously. Is that all you've noticed. C'mon bro. I dey vex oo
Lol. It's not their fault. Their media has always portrayed us dat way. We are actually suffering.
Bishap, there are many beggars and homeless people in New York . I even saw some picking stuffs from dustbin, so don't think only Africans suffer oooooo
@bishap global86 Idiot. You think starving is *annoying*?
Fuck you dude
Lol we are actually suffering. Also their media has always portrayed us that way 😂
Finally in the states! Can't wait for more
I wasn't expecting people to know where Nigeria is let alone where Nigeria is. Only countries they teach us in school are of the white man's land and South Africa if at that. And I mean. the last time I was taught something about Africa was like 9 years ago
most americans dont even know they own state na lagos they won know Lol
+Brodly Benzion exactly lol.
xD
And most people in Lagos don't know the US BUT WANTS TO COME OVER
@@bettyphifer3857 Why so salty?
He was joking. And people who live in Nigeria (Lagos) probably know about the US. Not all want to live there...
I like Batta Box but not this edition. She went to the wrong areas to hear the answers she was looking for.. The female hosts on the Lagos version have better presence and appear more experienced.

At 2:49 LMAOOO Nigerians speak English
The Batta Box correspondent failed at that job. She should have corrected that geographically ignorant girl about Nigeria's primary language..
+JoninhoFIFA Well it hard to understand there nigerian english
+TommySnoB SBDC *their
Their They're There same shit lmao
TommySnoB SBDC well if you're critiquing how a group of people speak english, at least use the right words. That's like third grade shit lol.
Ask them where Africa is and they might tell you its in the Bronx some place
+Kitty Cat lol
Your 100% right americans are very bad with global issues or georaphy
I've asked people where Africa is, and half of the people are answering me with bold confidence telling me it's a country
Some will say Compton 😂😂
I'm from the Bronx. And the way Africa is besides South African and a few countries. Nobody cares at all.
I'm so glad Battabox is in the US now. This is great! :)
People in NewYork get ready! We're coming to your hood...
are you serious? she couldn't tell her that Nigeria's official language is English??? that interviewer ain't shit
I was thinking this same thing. I am nigerian but i was born in new york city i visit nigeria all the time and i will tell you factually speaking 99% of black americans dont know anything about africa or nigeria to be exact and i will not be suprise that the interviewer dont even know much about nigeria either.

I'm so disappointed with the people she interviewed, they should know better, so many Nigerians live in NYC
Dumbass. Will she now go and be asking people if they are Nigerian ?????
Bright Olonilua The Nigerian Embassy is in NYC.
They are in neighborhoods of Brooklyn. If she went to Eastern Parkway or Brownsville or other neighborhoods she would have gotten my informed answers. She's in Union Square, Manhattan, which isn't ethnic.

Battabox should have a Battabox U.S/U.K channels.Great Video BTW.
Both are great cities
+Dana Mitchell abi o! But we prefer Lagos, but we're biased 😉
lool. those two guys in suits though 😂
Deji Bodunwa yesssss so European it’s so funny stupid
YASSSSS BATTABOX!!! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! THANKS FOR THE INTERVIEW
did she just said will u live in new York or Nigeria , .. one small job in new York is like a bank managers yearly salary ooo… now ask me again if I want to live in Nigeria
Nice People and good People.
In America, they don't think in Africa that a shame didn't they do like Geography at school , I guess they were not paying attention while they being taught at school it a shame
Not even remotely surprised by the answers. I think there's like 80% Americans don't even have passports.
+eon001 I'm American and I've never had a passport but that hasn't stopped me from knowing a ton of stuff about Nigeria and several other African countries and even more about Europe, Japan and so many other places.
You can say that again.
The only reason you might have one is to get out the county that you are in
Americans and geography: Wow, it's worse than I thought.....Funny, since every classroom has a globe.....hmmm.....
Wow lol glad I remember most of world history and that a lot of countries in Africa do have English as a primary language Lagos also has very beautiful woman of all shades
Where was I when you filmed?!! I'm at Union Square every day. I want to work with you guys! Hire me.
+Eunice Apia ah, maybe we'll bum into you next time.
+BattaBox Yes, let me know a head of time and I will make my way over. I'm always in that area. 😁
Wish you interviewed me. I'm not clueless about Nigeria.
This should've been done in Harlem NY.
New York duh... who tf want to live without convenience of water at tap and constant electricity.
Don't feel bad, Batta. I live in Arizona and 90% of New Yorkers couldn't find that on a map either.
Nigerians speak english
Next STOP - BattaBox in WARRI!!!!

More grace
lagos is in portugal as well
Should've come to Texas.
Lmao that's all the more reason for them to come to Houston. You won't have to look too far to find a Nigerian here.
Lota Mozie IKR
New York is the second most populated state of Nigerians so it's not really hard it's just that she's in Manhattan and not in Queens or The Bronx.
Lota Mozie Nigerian not much there
Next time ask them what 'Boko Haram' is and you might here some people tell you things like:
1. It's a school.
2. It's a country.
3. It's a food. etc
This actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The answers were pretty normal.
They could of asked me and I live down south and know more about Nigeria than the people she asked.
Ask Them About Johannesburg or Cape town i am Sure they will
know one
If you go to the hoods like Harlem, Bronx or Brooklyn, the responses would be even more shocking. Some folks in the Bronx have never even been to Brooklyn, let alone know anything about Lagos. Many folks out here are very content with their CHICKEN LEGS. :))
U guys in the comnents here are jokers ask Americans about Japan, Spain, England and they will get it bcoz they are highly recognized worldwide.... Now wat has Nigeria and Africa done to get recognition. Corruption and thievery??
that lil lady talking about she doesn't speak the language Nigerians speak. Girl hold up we real quick, the language we speak is english thank you very much.
About Lagos being in Europe,that's true......it's in Portugal......
i'm like a year late, but did that nigga deadass say people suffer in Nigeria??!!! Bruh look up Bannana island
Some do suffer there and that is a prime fact. Been there, know many people there and about to marry a Nigerian man. Some do have it very hard and jobs are scarce and pay is a mess. Not to mention the electricity problems, corruption and so on. However, most people handle being poor way better than some people here in the USA. Always smiling and being positive about the next day. Lagos and surrounding states have many beautiful places, nice people, and good experiences. Going back to visit in a few. Also, some people are easier to understand than others. However, Pigeon is used often and is easy for me to understand and use somewhat. lol!
Victoria Emmanuel They asked them their perceptions, if that's what he truly thinks why are you so butthurt?
Sad... i was there recently and would've have great answers for you guys. I'm obsessed with Nigeria and Africa in general. It's disheartening to see racist trolls in the comments lets delete them because they bring negativity and whining I stead of good suggestions for solutions.
thanks
that guy that said lagos is in Europe was actually kinda right (lagos, Portugal)
Yes and lagos nigeria was discovered by the Portugal as well
The one self hating black man with the white woman😕. Not sure even Nigerian but Lagos is one the best cities in the world.
Logos best city in the world no ways. ..Say Cape Town or Joburg in South Africa maybe
Just because he is white woman does not mean he self hating will apply thecsame backward mentality if you see black girl with a white man. This is the mentality that's destrying black race and it's getting worse as years pass by
Joburg is full of criminal police. My ccousin was robbed there
Aynna alilli yes you know damn well he won’t move to Nigeria no white women
Really 😂😂
OK, please miss interviewer, I think it's your job to correct them, most of these people are ignorant, you ask them a question and they answer base on what they see on news and you just nod your head there instead of clearing them of their ignorance.... That's why I love that "wode Maya" guy.
people there are suffering..no be small suffer!!!
I’m glad I’m not American, this is embarrassing 😭
It is not everyone that wears a suit and appears intelligent is actually so, some are plainly stupid and coating it with me suit
'' I don't speak the language Nigerians speak '' wtf??
Nigerians are too loud how can u compare living in NewYork than living in Lagos..... Like seriously 😂😂.... U can't even compare Lagos to Johannesburg
Have you been to Lagos
The most populated city in Africa... With a lot of people around the world
Richest city in Africa... Even south Africa wouldn't dare
Pretty reporter
Lolade is gorgeous
new york city to live
Shoulda told her we speak english tho
Donny Osharode
Actually people in Nigeria speak what they are called it bidgin or something like that, I think they mixed english with their native language and their accent very hard to understand it for me and mayby for the all foreigners who aren't used to it. .
lagos!
Well said know one can take that away from you.
WOW YOU LOOK VERY PRETTY 😍
What do you think they speak there!!!
We speak in english in nigeria a better more english than americans
+jiggar22 Gbagaun! "a much better english".
Lagos are living in poverty
Please come to Nigeria Lagos... Maybe you will not go bankrupt
Shame NYC..embarrassing. They should know better because NYC is multi-cultured. However, they need to go to the Carib, African neighborhoods.
LAGOS WAS IN DUBAI
