      Suya of course. We even joke that darkness is one of its major ingredients. Eating suya in the daytime doesn't hit like eating it late at night.

    Lagos is very fast paced. Shooting in Lagos, not the whole of Nigeria, can be hectic. Shooting/vlogging can also be easy if you know how to read the room, that is, if you shoot in the proper places at the right time. So, it mainly depends on the areas you are at. If you're in an area where there are a lot of "area boys"/hoodlums, of course, they are going to want to get a tip from you. If it is an area where a lot of shady deals take place, they wont want you to shoot at all because they wont want their faces to be put out there. People mostly experience problems shooting on the mainland. It's easier on the Island because no one is really bothered about what you're doing and most people there are the corporate/working class.
    Also, seeing white foreigners trying to shoot strikes nerves of the people because they've been exploited in the past. Back in the days, they'll take shots of the people to run anti-african propagandas or narrate false stories about the people without proper research. So nowadays, the people have to know what the shoot is about before they allow white foreigners shoot in their environment.
    People like you guys would have it easier because you're black and the people wouldn't even be able to tell that you're not Nigerians unless you speak. Even when they notice you have a different accent, they'll think you're Nigerians/africans that just returned from overseas. They'll just probably ask you to tip them because they'll assume you have money. The tip wouldn't even be up to $10.
    And of course, everyone can shoot / record without any disturbance from anybody at public events like football games, concerts, carnivals, parties etc
    Generally, Lagosians are very friendly, welcoming, funny and lively people.

      Exactly 💯, was about to say same. Also shooting music videos in some parts of Lagos is a huge battle. You can watch interviews of Nigeria's acclaimed music video driector, Clarence Peters and his experience shooting music videos in Lagos. It's the area boys(Street gangs) that make shooting videos difficult, so you have to engage the police for protection. Of you're doing any shoot outside of Lagos, it's smooth sail.

    It’s better to film in other states/cities than Lagos. Its like being white and trying to shoot in the Bronx if you get my drift. There’re hustlers in these parts of Lagos. The more affluent part of Lagos is relaxed and wouldn’t care. I don’t know why the love going to Lagos, maybe because of the hype, Abuja is way better.

  • @iam_banbo
    @iam_banbo Рік тому +11

    the thing is you don't have to tip anyone if you're just vlogging your day to day activities as long as it just you but where the tipping comes in sometimes is maybe if you're going to shoot like a documentary type of stuff in some areas in which you might not even have to tip anyone to shoot in some part of the city
    so basically what am tryna say is you don't really have to be worried about tipping people before you vlog about how your day went there are lots of foreigner's living in lagos that vlog on a daily without any issue ......

In a soccer/football game it is different, nobody is bothered by you taking pictures in a stadium, not seen as personal as such l guess. That part of lagos is probably the worse place in Nigeria, Abuja, portharcout enugu, calabar etc have better and much civilised night life than this in my opinion.. Thank you.
