As a Nigerian 🇳🇬 I can't even take the risk of traveling these roads, knowing the security situation of Nigeria 😭💔. This Lady is a fearless Legend 💯💪
My brother this is the same thoughts that I have. She's very brave. Let GOD take care of her until she reaches her destination safely and successfully.
I sincerely hope she makes it through I don't know if she knows what she's in for
very unfortunately you are right.....
She is naive, but as long as she knows she is risking her life, its up to her.
The thing is, sometimes, when you are not fully aware of the danger you are in, you might just come out unscathed. She clearly doesn't know the dynamics of this particular region she was crossing the river, Niger State! Just Google search "Niger State and Kidnapping by Bandits or ISWAP"
Hello Noraly, your story with the policeman asking you for money is catching public attention here in Nigeria and was shared on 'X' and other local social media platforms!! You did the right thing refusing to pay, ride safely dear 🙏
I am guessing this ferryman will become viral too....just saying....
Since when do the Police not ask you to dash them?
@@AdeboFunkyVoodoo since you have 3 cameras running?
Good luck 👍
They're currently under investigation and will face disciplinary action soon. They should be used as examples so we can have some sanity on the roads.
Noraly, the way you interact with the locals, the way you show respect even when they disrespect you, the way you remain professional and the way you tell your story even through some of these adversary is definitely something I wish everyone on UA-cam would learn from. Your channel is definitely a teaching experience for everyone. Love your channel and keep it up❤
From a Nigerian that has lived all over the country.... I don't even know what advice to give to you at this point. I can only just wish you good luck. The simple truth is that you are threading a very dangerous path especially doing this in the current region you are in... this doesn't mean anything bad is going to happen but be very aware that the possibility is high.
Wishing you journey mercies. Stay safe
Rate of kidnapping is very high. Wishing her all d best though
Я тоже думаю она просто мазохистка ) Если она выживет это будет фантастика)
What you are doing now traveling through the Niger state is called tiger by the tail,all the same I wish you GOD'S SPEED AND journey mercy
It's just like beeing Serb in Kosovo, Serbian province occupied by Albanian.
She's just lucky. I wouldn't be surprised if one day I read a terrible news
A foreigner on a kitted out adventure bike must look like dollar signs to the ferryman.
Oh, yes. To hem, she screams money.
Sad but true....
Chris de Burgh did say not to pay the ferryman.
@@rztrzt If his name's Charon, you might want to, though.
@@rztrztUntil he gets you to other side!
As a Nigerian, I will not dare to take 20% of the risks you’ve taken in Nigeria or in any part of Africa for that matter. I wish you the very best of luck on your adventure.
It's common for non-African travelers to push their way and escape without trouble. But not always. The risks are high.
I was about to type exactly the same thing
It's so sad that we have been sooooo impoverished that we can't enjoy the simple things of life
The backroads are a state
If you are Nigerian, you should know the country ? why spreading more and more negative things. this is far from being really dangerous...
@@Ludo_Liu negative but true....
We cannot continue burying our heads in sand and hope the negativity will go away.
This video just reinforces my firmly held belief that travelling isn't just fun, it can also be _highly_ stressful !!!
Daylight robbery from the ferry man😂. He’s prices aren’t stable 😅.
This is like National Geographic on a motorcycle with laughter . I feel like I am there .
The same with me. When the vid ends, I find myself suddenly in the living room again, with my wife and my cat.
More like an extreme episode of Survivor 😱,
😂 NatGeo with wild animals😅
National Geographic won't go where she goes
I can't say I'm really enjoying this season very much, I'm very nervous about some of the locations and situations you are finding yourself in and I'm watching very apprehensively !
It's partially relieved by hearing your laughter and mostly because I know as long as you are uploading videos then everything is OK but I also realise that could stop at any time and that scares me !
Be safe Noraly !
Have the same feeling here, from the Netherlands, keep our fingers crossed so far so good. Thanks for youre concern for our Noraly.👍👍🇳🇱
The only time you should worry about Noraly is when she stops posting videos.
Yes, if I was able to travel the world, then I would skip Niger.
Be a little positive in your thoughts. Try not to be lily-livered.😊
Noraly exhibits so much courage, hence, my admiration for her.❤
These places are a lot safer than you think. I've backpacked through Africa a few times. Outside of a few areas you must avoid much of Africa is safer than the US and many metro areas in Europe. Worst you'll encounter is people trying to shake you down. Violence is highly unlikely.
No matter what u hear about Nigeria or Nigerians just know we support people the most, even India with a population of a billion+ didn't give her a million views in 5 days. Respect 🇳🇬
Noraly's remarkable ability to find humor in challenging situations shines through in this video. While many of us might succumb to frustration, her infectious laughter turns a potential conflict into a lighthearted moment. 🤗
well put
She is laughing when she feels uncomfortable or under the pressure.This is her way to go through it.
Intuition and instinct 💯. Fearless and at the same time witty. A gentle soul and a road warrior.
@@adrianolszewski231 yes i agree, it's a defense mechanism, laughing in the face of danger can help you release tension. very common for infantry soldiers throughout history
Please as you go through the country, I would advice you ply the major roads even if they may seem longer for security reasons. I hope you enjoy your stay in my beloved country 🇳🇬
Yea, seems off the main road it’s sketch.
Or better yet, avoid West Africa altogether.
@@bakerbill4274 you won't have this content to watch now. Would you
@@bakerbill4274 not everyone has to be lily livered like you.
@@bakerbill4274 Seems she has had a relatively smooth run through most of West Africa so far - all things considered.
I've travelled to many states in Nigeria, but I'll never take the kind of risk you are taking. I'm highly impressed and won't mind hosting you anytime you pass through Lagos.
I actually think the police officer asking for money in the other episode did not realise her cameras were recording.
My favorite part of this episode were two guys on the scooter that weren't havin it when Noraly passed them. The unofficial race was on! 😉
😅😅😅
Hate seeing Noraly getting pressurised and ripped of by those ‘ferry officials’. She deserves better
@@awflower123 I was thinking as well what a special event it would be for him to ride a bike (even for a short moment) that costs more than he may earn in a ..... year? decade? lifetime? ;-)
$20? Is not ripped off
@@nathansmith7153 Um, yes it is. When the normal rate is $5, you are paying a 400% markup.
Consider her a diplomat🇨🇦❤️
@@pikolophotografне неси чушь
I swear some of these locals riding 4 up on a cb125 with road tyres across some pretty gnarly terrain is one of the most impressive things about all of this lol
Imagine these guys racing on competitive machines
They're the Toyota Camry of the moto world - indestructible!
I fell off a CRF250L in the mountains of northern Vietnam……families flying past on Chinese copy Win 100cc or mopeds on road tyres……..embarrassing
to them, its just normal
Young lady, you are very brave and fortunate. Keep that camera filming at all times and make sure the people you come across know that they will be caught on camera if they do anything to you.
From Saudi Arabia, I tell you that you are a brave, strong woman who does not know fear. Strong woman is the phrase made for you.
As a Nigerian, I am concerned about your safety because of the INSECURITY in the country.
As a foreigner, even if you must do this, you should be in a group and NOT alone.
She’s crazy she should at least have someone else with her rapist do also exist in Nigeria
stupid comment from a Nigerian Nigeria is safe more safer than some foreign country
She has a lions heart just the truth
@@Festusonwudiwe-xl4ur I'm afraid she just has that westerner's false sense of security everywhere they go. I'm sure she's done her research and knew what she was getting herself into, and did it anyways. Hope she's fine.
@@ahmedsalah5364может она сумасшедшая или надеется на камеры
Of all the places you have visited, Nigeria has given me the most concern for your safety.
Yeah, that's because everything u know about Nigeria is from the western news n social media. Nigerians are extremely friendly n receptive people. Keep watching. U will be amazed if u try visiting Nigeria.
I'd be more worried for her in the USA
I did be more worried is she was in your country
I like the calmness you displayed even when you know that the ferryman is trying to rip you off, you could have traveled through other route which are more safer than going through these villages, watching your videos all the way from Helsinki this morning is giving me some kind of nostalgic feelings 😅😅
I swear brother, I was like how would she handled this people? And she did absolutely great ❤
Your riding skills and confidence is sky high . Riding on Nigerian roads is never easy and not for an amateur.
This series has been one long cautionary tale against traveling through West Africa.
It's making me want to go.
Exactly! "Where not to go on planet Earth."
She's amazing in her instinct to go and do things that the average person would say 'no way'....That's one reason why she has the best motorcycle adventure channel on the internet.
Exactly, all I know is one day if she stops posting videos, we'll all know why.
Sadly you are 100 percent spot on. @@davidcouture5970
You're my hero, I was in a near fatal motorcycle accident 2 and a half years ago and watching your vlogs from my couch in Southern California makes my traumatic brain injury less lonely and makes me happy. Thank you.
Nigeria is lovely, but I watch the vlog with some anxiety when you travel through Africa. Thank you for inspiring many young girls like my daughters. I introduced your vlog to the girls so they learn to be independent, freedom-loving women like you! Praying for your smooth ride and safety.
As a South African from Cape Town. I share your anxiety. We have a saying. "there is no place in Africa for sissies" and that is the truth
Rouge policing is almost everywhere, but Nigeria is a difficult land with kidnapping for ransom and internet frauds. I never know how safe even the locals feel when they travel away from home like Nurali?
Nigeria is not lovely. This... This is Nigeria.
@@shrabonibabu not EVERYWHERE
@@captain_context9991Where are you from?
The reason Noraly can go anywhere most can’t is strictly due to “Law of attraction”. Her frequency is always positive, no fear, no anxiety, no complaining, no worries, true to Herself, honest, passionate for Her journey, down to Earth with everyone She encounters, no negativity, She’s balanced spiritually (Ying & Yang), etc. Whatever you put out will always comeback to you. Thx for showing us the world Noraly! You’re an inspiration. :)
I was looking for this comment!! This is exactly what is happening. It's all about frequency!!
@@floopowder79 :)
I stress-watched this episode. Your courage is admirable. Stay safe Noraly! Thank you for showing us the world
Chick is amazing.
No one in history has spread more smiles
Around this planet
Than Noraly.
She is a living legend.
David that is a 110% accurate statement! We are blessed to be her watching this a legend. She is creating a legacy most can only dream of. Peace!
CHICK?
Chick is rude
Many solo travelers, especially women, are traveling the globe, engaging respectfully with the locals, sharing knowledge via YT about remote cultures and foods, whilst spreading smiles. Some do not document on YT and instead find other creative ways to share their experiences and lessons with others.
Noraly is not the first nor will she be the last, yet she is doing a good job at demonstrating, as others have, on how to be humane and level headed in uncertain conditions esp as a woman in this devolving patriarchal world.
@@QuintessenceLuminescence you GENIUS.
But WOMEN avoid AFRICA.
Twenty minutes in Noraly’s company just flies by.
She’s just great. I really feel like a pillion passenger travelling to the heart of Africa.
Welcome to Nigeria. Famous, world over.
These people are ruining the good name that blacks have around the world.
Yeh absolutely right
She can be the NEW PRESIDENT.
Did you know something about morocco? I suggest my last video ❤❤
I was in Nigeria for 2 month as a medical student in 1972. This video is very interesting for me. I hitch-hiked from Zaria to Lagos (no money) and survived - Was a bit young, crazy and lucky. I think you are the same! Nigerians are in the main a great people, I grew to admire them very much, but there is more danger there than in the West. I think you are protected by being such a weird and unusual apparition for the average person there - so was I. The military and the police seemed to me to be the problem when I was there.
You are brave. I can't see myself doing this. Not with the insecurity in Nigeria at the moment.
You've got a heart of steel. Kudos and safe journey as you traverse the rest of Africa.
What an episode! Hair raising (the ferry fiasco), fascinating (the ancient cattle breeds, drying grain on the road!) and fun (the two guys racing you on their bike).
Just when I thought my admiration for Noraly couldn't get any higher, she raises the bar yet again. I wouldn't be able to deal with all the difficult situations and people single-handedly like Noraly does. But that's why I'm sat in front of my computer, and she's having an incredible adventure. Kudos to you.
I love how you carry yourself!! You’re giggle even when things are a little sketchy just commands respect!! ❤
This woman deserves billions of views. i am amazed by her courage.
The things you encounter and accomplish each day never ceases to amaze me! The river crossing was another example of how your many, many river crossings have been accomplished. It seems they’re rarely easy! Thanks for sharing another day in your adventures. Ride safe Noraly!
Noraly paid for the entire village to cross the river I think.
@@terryrobertson111 …. She sure did! The people and places are always amazing!
@@terryrobertson111 18 euro/20$ she can pay that
It's the same thing every day. She doesn't even stop to take in the local sights and share them when she does.
@@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr I just find it so strange that everyone sits around waiting for someone else to pay their way
Dear Noraly,
I am a Nigerian born German now, living in Germany. I love the part about the police guys asking for money.
LOVED the way you handled the matter, very good and well done...
Please keep safe and enjoy your journey through Nigeria and further to Cameroun..
Fleeing to a European country as a Nigerian screams weak
@@capricornenergy4195 Please note, I've been here since 1993. And the country had helped me to be a very good IT engineer. Nigeria would never have given me such an opportunity. I say thank you to the country and people.
I am really grateful...
@@capricornenergy4195What can't you read in born German?
@patrickayooladokun you not German that's the point. Why you were born in white European country in 1st place
@@capricornenergy4195 That is a question that my mother can answer, but she died peacefully 2021.
Good that you (nearly) missed the rainy season. There is still a lot of mud in places. But you are an excellent rider, you manage these sections well. Safe journey, Günter/Nürnberg
Thanks for bringing us along on your journey! You rock.
You’re more patient than I ever would be. I could never survive. You are far more brave than I could ever be.
You are right,. she's more than brave. Those routes she followed are simply teeming with bandits and robbers. She could easily be taken hostage and a huge ransom demanded before she is released. As a woman, one of the bandit leaders could even decide to turn her into a bride. He would take her deep into the forest where she can't be traced. By the time she gets her freedom, she could be the mother of several brats. As she traverses to the Cameroon border, it's not bandits she could encounter but islamic terrorist groups like boko haram. When they take her hostage, it is curtains and babies. Personally, I'll suggest she cut short her Nigerian and African adventures. It's nice viewing for us but simply too risky for a white woman.
@@user-jj9db5mx4u is this man telling some bitter truth? I am worried af for this woman now!
Adventurous is more fair comment
Hi Noraly. My Nigerian wife here in Canada is watching your trip through Nigeria and she is terrified. She prays for you to stay safe.
Tell your Nigeria wife, to pray for her self, Noraly is safe
She is isn't terrify if it was you wouldn't have gotten married to her. No country in this world without their pros and cons. Let us all look at the good side how the locals are nice to her we often ignore the bigger stuff and focus only on minor negative things
All I can say you were created very special. I think you are just one in a million.
You are so brave. I'm thinking a little crazy too :-) Really enjoying your channel. I'm from South Africa and would never have the guts to do the trips you do. Be careful out there......Africa is a wild place. Never let your guard down.
It’s quite common in Nigeria to bargain, even as a Nigerian you’d often need to master the skills of bargain which often starts from ridiculous prices . I understand that it’s not so in most western cultures, but it’s not uncommon in Africa and Asia.
So true as an African who travels in Asia quite a lot, I am able to get good prices as a foreigner because of bargaining skills even if I get overcharged but I always seem to be overcharged better than Western foreigners for the same services or goods
it everywhere not only in nigeria
It would get quite tiring I’d think.
I found bargaining to be the normal thing in Africa. Elsewhere too.
I hate bargaining.
Wow,your sense of calmness when you knew the ferryman was trying to rip you off with the 15,000 Naira quote is not only admirable but is a travelling skills that needs to be learnt.
Thanks for bringing us along for this epic adventure.
Bless up 🙏 🙏 ❤❤❤❤
he was not ripping her off....he gave her a good deal...40000 is the cost of a full ferry...which he will wait and get...she wanted a fast crossing....he lost out here
@@esohekate5621 He did rip her off though. If the minimum amount was 40,000, then with all of those other passengers at 4K each, it had certainly been exceeded. She negotiated down her sole passage in an empty ferry from 40k to 15k. He simply wanted to take advantage of her because for a lot of Nigerians, foreign = money.
@@fomab passengers with bikes?
@@fomabMost of you lack understanding. She didn't pay 40k for the ferry. She paid 15k for herself and the bike.
@@patrickayooladokun On the contrary, you appear to lack understanding. If the charge is 4,000 per person or vehicle, why is her charge 15,000?
Ive been to Nigeria 4 times.
And to be honest i love Nigeria. I know that their cities arent exactly europe or asian countries. But its always easy to get by in Nigeria and the people are very very welcoming. I love Nigeria. But i do agree their cities need better infrastructure.
You are the pioneer among us, all we do is commenting while you are creating history.
Noraly, you could be ambassador for any country. I love how you handle tricky situations with people! Add that onto driving through the most challenging terrains. You, my dear are a SuperStar!
Lovely, your boldness is commendable. We (Nigerians) are a mix of good people and opportunists. Ride safe and use the main roads as much as possible. Enjoying your vlogs.
I fear when I see her on those roads and wonder why she chooses to: 1. For her safety because locals are naturally lovely people, warmer than city folks, but the vast spaces also make crime easy. and 2. For the image. Many people would be seeing these videos for the first time and this is the image of Nigeria they'd have.
She's simply inspiring!
I'm a Nigerian and I just stumbled upon your video and i subbed immediately..i fell in love with just your sheer audacity that i can never have😂 ,love to see it❤
Not only nigeria or africa but every nation has a bad people but condeming the wrong doings of your co-country man makes me love to watch all of this videos and feeling safe on side of noraly...
I know there is always hope for most least country in africa to leave with love and peace for visitors and for the locals, its because of the many good people on this videos and to the people on the comment section living in africa that reflecting their anger of sympathy to all of those bad guys in their community...
ALASKA eats mud for breakfast and asks for more!
Nigeria is a tough place, but Itchy Boots is up to the challenge. Happy Trails!
Is it only Nigeria?
She fail to pass through the city ways
Being a motorcyclist I always have to admire Noraly's courage facing her every day issues. Also can't believe the everyday local riders' skills two or three-up riding the worst of local roads, as well as the conditions the poor little motorcycles have to endure on each journey.
Wow almost 2 million subscribers in 5 years! Way to go Noraly. 👍👍
You can tell she's risking her life for this ...big ups to you, it ain't easy especially here in Nigeria
Watching your videos, I often have one thought: as long as we get presented a video, you made it to your next destination or to the next village or town.
Managing all difficulties, crossing borders, mud and swindlers, makes you so adorable 😘.
As a Nigerian I don't even know if this part of Nigeria exists, well Nigeria is too big for one to know every part , Thanks Noraly
This is Pategi area of Kwara State
Marvellous courage and grace you are my heroine always thankyou for your films I love them love from england xx❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good to see you on your Honda again.. ride safe..
I sometimes worry about her traveling through certain countries alone.
You should be worried, especially when we, the people of the country, dare not travel thru these exact locations solo.
did you worry when she pass through Colombia and Mexico drug den?
@@theafricanwahalabro she's a white tourist they would treat her different 😅
"Sometimes"????
She is surely brave.
i just discovered this channel and i binge watched like 5 episodes.
i think what i like about is the format - the way it is filmed, i almost feel like i'm there
i also admire the courage of going throught those places of earth which are known of being dangerous
You are correct and many have said they feel like they are right there during the video. Once I was so into the scene I caught myself waving to a passing motorcycle like I was there. Keep binge watching you won't be sorry. Peace!
I feel so anxious watching this. She is so cool.
I'm a cyclist (Nederland hé XD) but I admire your driving style, controlled, not going to maximum speed whenever and wherever it's even remotely possible. I'm taking example :)
Noraly delivering seminars for keeping composure in difficult sitations. Thank you for being awesome.
Your spirit and ability to laugh at what most of us would consider stressful simply amazes me, Noraly. Another adventure in the books today with an every widening audience. Your videography and commentary is always spot on. As always, thank so much for taking us with you. Stay safe and we'll see you in the next video!

That 'bike race' with the locals towards the end of the video - after passing river Niger - was just hillarious, I think they have also enjoyed it. For them probably it was not the first time they went on that road ;)
Absolutely Amazing Woman in the world.. What a brave & Bold.....No one take risk like this.... Little bit danger area... But she managing the situation smoothly 🎉❤🎉
HEY NORALY! You have such a great sense of humor and incredible tenacity. Very excited to watching you traverse this incredible country.

I have done videos on skiing for 20 years and with a camera Canon L1 with an external battery, and a backpack, it weighed 20 pounds, I wore a backpack backward with the battery on the back of my neck and now you have all of that on your Helmut and more battery in pock your little cameras of today and digital editing, digital hard drive so small.
I am so amazed at what you create with those tools of today. I am so amazed that a whole editing suite fits in a little laptop and you are crashing through all this mud, rock, and holes and some crashes, and at the end of the day you put this story together and the music matches the mood. You have opened my eyes of 80 years and my viewpoint has softened on so many fronts as to what the world really looks like, we are so lucky to have you telling your stories and making the whole world fall in love with you. Thank so you very much for your very hard work. I know a little about how much time takes. It takes 4 hours for 5 minutes on Facebook for a ski club for me, [I'm sure your much faster] and they downsize the file so much, it looks so poor it feels like I when back to tape of old.
I am new to your channel. So inspired by your travels. I do worry about your safety, not just by people with ill intentions, but in case you injure yourself on the bike in the middle of nowhere. I also ride and look forward to catching up on all of your emails. Keep up the travels for us lowly senior citizens who cannot experience what you are so blessed with seeing and SHARING with us.
I agree that it's amazing that the local motorcycle riders maneuver through the muddy terrain with ease. They obviously are use to the challenges of the muddy road. You're not doing so bad yourself! I'm a very new subscriber and enjoy these vlogs. BTW, I'm visiting Amsterdam, Hoorn, Rotterdam, and Nijmegen via the river cruise. I can't wait! Wishing you continued safe travels.
I've never heard of this route to Abuja; the most common route from the South is through Lokoja, and there's a large bridge there, and after the bridge, it's like 150-200km to Abuja... There's also a longer 2nd route from the South that cuts a bit to the East through Onitsha, but then you still have a large bridge there in the Onitsha bridge... Never heard of a route coming from the South to Abuja, were you have to cross the river using a ferry.
Lol doesn't get views though 😂
I was also wondering how can the GPS lead her down there. Ferry to Abuja. It’s too stressful for her.
@@blademanx huh?

So much love... You made my year with this amazing documentary... Am speechless.. Much love from this side ❤❤❤❤❤❤... I will always watch your videos... God bless you.
This is the second video of Itchy Boots I've watched and it it superb. From the camera work to her interactions, the edits, all 5*. I'd have loved to see some drone shots of the river she was crossing, but I also can understand that Noraly may likely not want to hang around. Simply being an outsider in many places makes you a point of interest - to the 99% who are good, and the 1% who are less so.
To anyone criticising the boatman, please don't. He's a business man and this is just how things function. My view was that the ferry was waiting until it had made enough £ before leaving - she could break out the money to allow it to leave. Yes, she will have paid for that, but, sometimes you pay for convenience and for the reduced risk of an overloaded boat.
My own experience is from working in the electricity and gas industries across sub-Saharan and North Africa - this stuff is par for the course, but Noraly is clearly superb at asserting herself in a friendly but clear way. There are a lot of guys I've worked with who thought that money or over-confidence bordering on aggression were how to get past an over-charged meal, a police "check point" or past a bureaucrat. And sometimes it is just not putting yourself in those situations. Some have had very bad outcomes indeed and barely got out without a beating. Noraly handles herself far better than most people I've seen - someone to learn from!!
I'm thrilled to have found this channel - I have A LOT of catching up to do! :)
Looking forward to seeing the Cameroon visa process - I must admit, I normally paid a fixer to do this stuff for me, but it was on the client/company bill!
