Living in poverty without 24/7 light and a corrupt government that makes live harder than it already is. How do the majority of Nigerian people live and what do they go through. How do they tink about their government and how are they able to survive and to smile. How are they able to see the Beauty in their Struggles.
In part 1 of my Nigeria Documentary serie different Nigerians will tell you their opinion and give you a glimpse of their lives in Nigeria. Is life really that bad, are people able to work? Is corruption really a thing in Nigeria? This documentary will give you answers to these questions.
-----
In November 2019 I travelled to Nigeria and decided to make a documentary serie about Nigeria that consist out of three parts.
My Goal is to raise more awareness about the Nigerian Culture, The Nigerian People and the situation in Nigeria.

I’m a white American man. I was raised in a ghetto in NYC. Growing up my best friend came from Nigeria in 3rd grade. He was Igboe. I have a love for Nigeria, I would love to visit. I also always love when African Woman sing tribal songs together. (any tribe) It sounds beautiful. I don’t understand the words but it makes my heart happy.
This breaks my heart! None of this corruption would've happened if the all the tribes got along. Too be quite honest, the Igbos were RIGHT to fight for their OWN land and own THEIR own oil because they knew things like this would've happened.
When things fall apart
The igbos don’t own the oil
@@Love25648 now they don't but before they owned the LAND in which the oil comes from. Let's not play games
@@Love25648 The nation should all benefit from the oil ...for one Nigeria...many tribes but ONE NIGERIA
your statement is so contradictory. start off saying problems caused by tribes not getting along. end with, but igbos were right for not wanting to get along.
Great documentary bro... I'm from Baltimore, here in the states we are dealing with corrupt police as well. Keep doing your thing my brother may God bless you and your family. 🙏🏾👍🏽
I have been with the Sweetest man I ever met almost 6 years now ..He lives in Nigeria and I'm trying to learn all about his country ...Thank you for this video .God bless Nigeria. ...I'm live in the United States ....
My wife is Nigerian, I'm Zambian, iv lived in the western world like you, and can tell differences. Iv come to care and appreciate Nigeria alot, and I think Nigerians need to start appreciating your country more, there things about Nigeria that not even the western world have.. individual freedoms, access to the most fertile land, good food, great people.. forget the leaders, and make the most of what you have in front of you... one day the problems of Nigeria will be less. God bless Nigeria
You couldn't say it any better. Thank you for your message! Part 3 will be out this week
The third and Last part is out now. Chidi in Nigeria : ua-cam.com/video/YEVU2zVEaSA/v-deo.html
How can you tell people living in extreme poverty to ‘appreciate what is in front of them’ what an absolutely ignorant and privileged comment to make. We do not know their struggle and cannot tell them how to feel. Foolish
your comment is foolish to say the least; it's very offensive to the men / women who are living in, around the struggle. Bad leadership spoils everything, even the people's hearts! Your thinking is very immature and have no care in the world! It's not good.
i subscribed greetz from belgium :)
God bless you my dear brother
Its devastating, the entire continent is a victim of rape. Please ya Allah help them Ameen

Amazing Chidi♥️ Africa is such a wonderful country with all her sources. The man is woke!
Thanks!
Just found out that I'm half Nigerian, I absolutely love the culture🇳🇬💕
I wish I could even find out what tribe I belong too smh
Me too and I been diving deep in finding out more about the culture
If you all can tell your tribal names or your parents or grand parents I can help you
I’m Somali and I really love Nigeria I hope all Africa stand up for their own countries it happens in Somali too one Africa 🙏🏾
Wonderful. Thank you. Will watch the next two definitely.
You spoke well religion is a big problem in Nigeria
maybe one of the biggest
Jesus is the answer. Jesus doesn't want you in religion, He wants a relationship with you. Trust in Jesus, make Him your foundation. Among this crooked and perverse generation, He will give you peace and joy.

God 😱the English of Mama Eze is very good for a woman in her situation. She deserves more. Juts like everyone else in Nigeria.
@@christianjamesmiller8388 yeah of course I agree. However, a good control of the English language in a country like Nigeria means that she probably had a decent education and could be better off doing some white collar job or living a better life with the knowledge she has. English is still one of our official languages, and a good control of it could be a good thing for anyone looking to get a good job or interact with people internationally. It is not a necessity to speak English, but it is good addition to knowing how to speak your local dialect.
@@christianjamesmiller8388 that is true my man. I guess we all have a role to play. Nice chat man. I wish Twitter could be this nice too and less conflicting. 😂✌🏿

Thank you so much for this insight!! From America God Bless Nigeria!!🙏🏾🙏🏾
An eye-opener! People are so indignant, sad and angry about this massive corruption of the men in charge. Of course we knew this from the news media but when you make it personal and visible it has such an impact! I'm glad you've made this documentary and I'm looking forward to watching the other two.
And I'll certainly visit your website to browse the t-shirts!
With love from Helmond 😁👌👍💖

The government should be put behind bars. This is a disgrace to the Mother Land. The African should Rise UP AND FORCE THE Enemies! OUT! MY OPINION
Thank you for the unique perspective to a country I currently want to look more into! Greetings from Germany! ✌🏻
Nice Eyes of Chidi keep it up thanks for the video.

Great documentary
Thank you!
I have 3 friends in our church community who grew into adulthood in Nigeria and came to the US. I asked why they didn’t vote for different leaders. They said that they’re told if they vote differently, they will be cursed. I was floored. I don’t believe in curses because I know I’m covered by God. This just shows me how much their government has ingrained fear into them for wanting to do what’s best for them! I would vote good leaders into my government. I would take on a “curse” to ensure my children a better future. That’s just my view.
Hope next’s time you can come and ask the Pilipino 🇵🇭 people 😘🙏✌️😊
Nigerians are very resilient. They make the best out of any situations literally making 'lemonade out of every lemon' from the leaders who are exploiting the institutionalized corruption embedded in the systems of government.
The women are beautiful the men are handsome. They need work and food. My heart hurts.
Please please please somebody let me know how I can give back to the community when I visit Nigeria. As someone who lives in the Uk I think it’s so immoral to just go there and enjoy without acknowledging the true hardship of my people
This was wonderful!
Thank you!
When you get back to the Netherlands, ask their government why Shell is still exploiting the people of Nigeria, which is one of the main reasons why there is hunger in our land.
Good documentary though and thanks for your efforts
In order to exploit one has to sell. (If you know what I mean) Thanks!
Our Pastor is Nigerian. 🙏
very good
WAKANDA FOREVER!!!

Even if they are suffering they are still smiling❤😍😊 but i pity of those children.. love your documentary
This is amazing
Thank you!
I have many online friends who live in Nigeria and Ghana. I wish for them and everyone else to have better and more of what is really deserving to them. The talk you gave at the end of this video, actually brought tears to my eyes. I know from my friends telling me, how corrupt the Government of Africa, especially Nigeria, is very very bad. I want my friend/s to come to USA but the government is so strict for Africans to obtain visa's. If we are to come together as one world, Government/Parliament, Africa and America, needs to become more lenient for this to happen. If I were to rule your country, I would be sure everyone got exactly the help and needs that are needed and would no longer be going without food or medicines that are greatly needed. But, I am just an ordinary US citizen. The only way I can actually help is by just being a friend. I cannot send any money to them because US has stopped most US citizens (white,elderly) especially, from sending money in almost all the possible ways. My best goes out to you, your family, and ALL of AFRICA. I LOVE YOU ALL, GOD BLESS AND TAKE CARE AFRICA, ALWAYS
That man spoke facts straight up about bad n greedy leadership in all of Africa... But why is that the case? Is be curious to know why people think their leaders are this way.
same in philippines super corrupt goverment? life must go on survival is key weapon for everyday living?godbless
I Know what you mean! Salamat!

I like straight speech... Politicians corruption, bad leader is ok but for the Pasters, God is there for the judgement.. being a Christian let's 🙏🙏🙏. for them.
Tanke you so so much yoruba nation now and biafra nation now no going back bye
Locally people can do one thing is to limit the number of children born , this will make many economic changes in their local lives, elect people who are honest.
I just subscribed I love ur documentary. Nigeria is a good country but the leadership is the problems we are having.As a salary earner my salary is not enough for me.Nigeria is a lovely country in my next world I will be a Nigerian but this time around from a wealthy home.
Iovely 💕
Yes your so rich!
Absolutely wonderful
Thank you!

Pray!!!!!!!
I look at the fight black people here in America have had just to be considered human and I can blame Caucasians for the struggle of my ancestors and the continued struggle of blacks in America. I can blame poverty on the Caucasians here in this country because they are the 1% elite here. I just couldn't imagine that our own people are causing poverty in the Motherland! Smh My heart bleeds for Africa! Why are we doing our own people this way? I will never understand! Do they not believe in Karma? Do these people not have a heart? Are these people even human? Smh Great documentary. This really has opened my eyes to some things and I really just don't know how to feel anymore about this world smh I always dreamed of living in Africa but after watching many videos my plans have changed smh living there would ultimately cause me another battle to fight and another demon to deal with. In closing, religion has caused my people so much pain smh
Thanks for your reaction. There are a lot of truths in it!
He iis right
Amazing documentary
Thanks for watching!:)

Rise up and force them to open the border.The police should be punished!
I wanna travel. Love from India 🇮🇳
8:25 , 9:15 blessed country but bad leadership! The same script in my country Kenya
Same story... just a different country indeed!
They are not actually free as they believe......otherwise very informative documentary. Most things I already knew but some things was new to me. Brown people have to work together to help one another in different countries who are less fortunate. Ose!!
Depend on what your personal definition of freedom is and that is subjective. Thanks!
they need change fr
Let us pray, try to keep things together, try to do the best we can and still find ways to stay happy no matter what may come! Love from India.
Thank you!

How is it that you don't care about your own family? 😣
What do you mean?
@@eyesofchidi Leaders. Your countrymen are your family. How can leaders not care about their own people. That always astounds me. Watching this made me think of not only Africa but Venezuela, China, Haiti and other countries I am learning about where the leaders destroy their own. Sadly, I agree with the farmer that greed and notoriety blinds a person to selfishness. Simple as that. Good video btw.
❤️❤️
Mr chidi spoke the truth

this is legendary
Thanks!
God has really blessed my country nigeria,but we only have bad leader
na so
The country citizens all suffered
All because of Corruption from the Top to the bottom .
Yes
the good thing is that they dont have to pay for a dentist
yh they all have amazing teeth
Power corrupts. Yet we keep voting for centralized leadership and government. Same as in the west. We want and believe government to solve our problems. Giving away freedom and prosperity for safety and security.
When we become honest as citizens that each and everyone of us will corrupt with such powers we will change the way we vote and create true political alternatives.
God bless!
You summarised it very well! Thanks!
Let's support each other
