Nigeria is a secret gem to be discovered. It will be a great paradise for black people because of the numerous cultures within that Country. The government and Nigeria people are realizing it now and they are trying to improve the Country. There is opportunity to build wealth in Nigeria than any other place in the world.
We had a great great time in Nigeria it is a wonderful country and the people are amazing (despite all the negative headlines)As a family we cannot wait to get back there to experience more of what Nigeria has to offer. Our trip was most certainly enhanced by our host, who made our stay comfortable, educational, culturally enriching and so much fun. We are delighted that they have decided to provide tours as they are the ideal persons/family to do so. Personally I would not hesitate in reaching out to Deji and Ade Tucumbo, as they will ensure you have a fantastic time and provide an all rounded viewpoint of Nigeria. Thank you Deji, Ade Tucumbo and Abisola for being such great host and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thanks for the video! I don't understand why she said they couldn't walk outside the estate in Lekki. It's safe to walk outside in Lekki. I often walk around on the mainland without any issues, and Lekki is quite diverse and safe, even for an oyinbo, so please dont be afraid next time in Lekki 😊
With some economic challenges faced here, which really isn't peculiar to Nigeria; I wouldn't live anywhere else. Well done Deji, Adetokunbo and Abisola with her angelic voice. Looking forward to your next post😊.
Nice video. It always saddens me when its mostly Nigerians giving their own country bad PR. Despite the inadequacies we have, there are lots and lots of positives. No country is perfect or heaven. I wish government can step in and start reorientation of its citizens bc no good child points to his father's house with an condescending 'left hand'. No matter what, we should be proud of where we come from bc no one will fix it for us.
@@joyetinosa6965 I didn't infere all Nigerians though. I am Igbo and I detest that behaviour no matter what the reasons are. I will never be part of it. We complain of how we are being treated at various airports, but forget that many of us contribute to it with our constant bashing of our country.
Majority of Nigerians who live abroad are the ones who are afraid of their country and discourage others from visiting the country. I live in North America, my husband and his siblings are from the Western part of Nigeria. They all migrated to Europe and North America as adults and they always talk negatively about Nigeria. Even their 80+ year old mother that is longing to go back to Nigeria is discouraged by them. No one else can redeem the image of Nigeria except Nigerians themselves.
@@princessking7054 absolutely correct. I have made this observation. Its just sad. When you destroy the image of your country you still expect to be treated better by others.
Ah the nostalgia!! We had such an amazing time, we miss Nigeria and you all. ❤❤ what an informative video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making our visit to Nigeria a memorable one. We will be back for sure and can’t wait. Abisola, Sophia said that was a lesson we should have stuck to the Nigerian menus. 😅 Odabo! 😊🖤🙏🏾
Lekki is safe, they just don't snatch people off the street. I agree there is need to be careful but not paranoid. The Northern part is where most of the kidnappings happen.
@@ericaalexandrovnaadebayo4392kidnapping happens but happens around the world in certain countries. Im from jamaica its quite common for women and children to get kidnapped in jamaica depends where you are. Lagos is the safest state. I've been to Nigeria 5x and I frequently travel west africa including ghana and I have travelled from Lagos state to osun state by road and stopped in ibadan and osgobo more than once. You just have to make sure you have someone on ground who knows the areas , travel during day and be smart n stay safe . I love Nigeria.
Thank you for a genuine report on Nigeria. Please may I find out how you came about 😅he name Erin Jo gun ola .It’s the traditional name of Oba Akitoye dynasty
Another informative episode, fam! Enjoyed hearing about your friends’ experience (they were spot on about Cold Stone Creamery! lol). Thank you for what you are doing to counter the negative views of our believed country, while still offering balanced criticism where needed. Bravo!
Greetings cuz, thanks for your comment, We are really glad that we were able to show you some of our reality on your last visit, but even more chuffed to know that you are now considering visiting Nigeria more often.
Nigeria has more variety of foods compared to all other nations in Africa. Nigeria food technology. Crude Oil has really undermined the true value of Nigeria. I just cannot bare thinking of Nigeria especially how wasteful it has become with regards to human resources. Food is the only think keeping Nigeria alive in my mind Politics is definitely a NO NO When i am just about to forget i immediately remember "Pepper Soup" After Pepper Soup" i vow not to remember and suddenly "moi moi" comes creeping in my mind Accara, Jelouf rice so on and so fort etc etc Sincerely Ejike Sincerely Ejike
I hope the 🇳🇬 Immigration Services does something about this disgraceful conducts of its staff soliciting bribes from visitors at entry points. This paints a very bad picture of 🇳🇬 and Nigerians to foreign visitors and tourists in general
It happens all over Africa. They always ask bribes. Especially Nigeria and Ghana. Just tell them you don't have anything. Nigeria less pressure than ghana with bribes my opinion honestly.
I don't know who are the people saying all this nonsense about Nigeria, of a truth there are challenges but not a dangerous country especially Western part of Nigeria nothing like kidnapping and even the southern part. Kidnapping only happened in the northern part
There is a propaganda out there about Nigerians and Nigeria to paint us black, they don’t say that France, the USA spend money to destabilise Nigeria and hijack it’s democracy to guarantee that the worse possible leaders rule Nigeria. They forget about the size who deliberately underdeveloped Nigeria to keep us down and designed it to fail. They all fear Nigeria. They know that if we rise, Africa will rise. Break Nigeria apart destroy Africa and enslave them for a thousand years on their own soil while they take all of Africa’s natural resources. It’s why they say don’t go there because they were shocked that we turned out all right and produced citizens more intelligent than theirs in a genetic basis. They deliberately underdeveloped our country by targeting our people for the trans Atlantic slave trade more than anywhere else as we had more people in Africa. We faced near extinction and only 30 million Nigerians survived up to the run in to independence. Then the baby boom! Followed by an oil boom. And look at us today. Our success gives them cancer. And jealous and envious Africans who are the architects of the misfortunes of their own unborn generations join them for free to bring Nigeria down. They will all fail. We will rise. Adversity and hardship sharpens and motivates us to succeed.
Thank God you go there to witness the place yourselves. If you are part of people that send money home for a purpose. Then you have to pray and have a trust in the person. I do trust my brother and he did a good job after my parents past. We all make him a trustee of the things needed to be done but make the person comfortable in anyway you know.and alway ask if the person need help.Money is the root of all evil
You should not be jubilating yet because we were informed at Church in UK here 2 weeks ago to pray for a 9 month pregnant woman with her 5years old son who were kidnapped!!. You should rather continue praying for God's protection!!
Whats termed as 'dangerous' is relative. Certainly, Nigeria is not they type of country you can go to like many other countries without having a contact there to take you around. You will get scammed definitely and the scamming starts from the airport and like most places you will be charged more because you are a tourist. People are friendly but again beware of people with ulterior motives and people trying to scam you. Traffic is usually very bad in Lagos, road works or not. Its worth noting that the standard of kiving portrayed in this video is only for a few richer people and most Nigerians do not live this way in Lagos.
My friend the way I see you guys you are already lost. Nigeria and Africa are incredibly better than anti black people tell themselves. There is no country or continent without challenges. Next time put more places like Abuja, Kano, Kaduna and Enugu They are all beautiful places not as congested as Lagos.
Yes I agree there are more places than lagos but I'm sorry as a frequent American visitor those places for security is more unstable and a lot more police harassment and corruption than lagos
What do you mean anti black. Stop that nonsense. Telling the truth about kidnapping a on northern Nigeria is not being anti black. Telling the truth about leaders continually stealing money and never doing anything for the people is not anti blackness. What is blackness? There’s nothing like that it’s foolishness. Culture in Africa differs from country to country even though we are black. They enjoyed their stay. If they live longer and have to get drivers license, passport and accessing govt services it’s another story. Visiting as a tourist is awesome and yes Nigeria has very good things but there are bad things as well. We love our country we don’t love what’s bad about it and must work for improvement.
Which airport? Immigration officers were not able to ask us for money because there were armies standing with AK25 making sure no bribing. They even surprised my son because the place he has only seen guns was on fortnight and when we went to Madrid.
I find such videos boring! Really and truly boring! As a Nigerian, if there are two things we lack as a people, as a race, is our lack of curiosity and our lack of adventurism!! Which irks at times, we have our own strengths and talents, but exploration just isn't one of them! Christopher Columbus, Marco Polo, Vasco Da Gama , Bartolomeu Dais, Amerigo Vespucci, Ferdinand Magellan could never have been Africans ! There is nothing to be scared of !! Not in Nigeria! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
Just a possion of northern Nigeria state you here kidnapping.. you think kidnapping is all over Nigeria. common stop believing lies about Nigeria. am sure Nigeria is safer than your country.
Nobody is randomly kidnapping ppl in lagos. White ppl , CHINESE Indian walk freely in Ikeja and Lekki, Ikoyi, Magodo..all over lagos... Lagos is the safest state. I'm telling you from personal experience. I frequent Nigeria and I have a Us passport.
Yes they do ask. I've been to Nigeria 5x since last year and I also frequent ghana. They ask in nigeria for money at airport but they don't pressure you. They just ask. They smile and joke n say give oga something na once their nice or about to stamp your passport..when they ask to search your bag customs n probably wont search it you day you dont have money lol...or do anything thats their job....or they try take your bags when you arrive and carry your bags n tell you you need to give them something..or if they show you to a terminal they ask to give them something but I tell everyone from my experience they are WORSE in ghana. Ghana will ask at immigration , the airport to the outside to every traffic stop by police especially outside accra going to volta region or anywhere!..Nigeria police doesnt do that. Some may ask rarely at a stop but they dont pressure or intimidate you to give $ like ghana. In ghana every official bldg...and I prefer ghana to nigeria on certain things like light stability and access to American foods n variety of restaurants and tourism spots but they are WORSE in ghana. Nigeria doesnt pressure you. They just ask at airport and you say you dont they push their mouth and walk away..lol...No one can tell me I travel both.
That is your problem nigeria is my home we do not have any where to call home that is you and your family pls stop painting nigeria in a bad lightbulb if there’s no where you can call home what would you do dead on arrivals
No place like home, i love my country 🇳🇬 ❤️

I intend going to lagos this summer, can l have the contact of your airbnb ? It looks very clean.
Lekki is safe, they just don't snatch people off the street. I agree there is need to be careful but not paranoid. The Northern part is where most of the kidnappings happen.
But Nigerians will drag their own country in the mud . Thank you for come to Nigeria kudos to you and your family
Maybe you’re one of the Nigerians that drag it in mud…smh
No kidnapping in Lagos state. Nigeria has 36 states, depends on where you visit
There cases of kidnapping at Lekki
The cleaner child in my office was kidnapped at jakonde taken to EPE
Thank God 500 k the child was released

Some of the riches need to be reassessed as most get rich from cheating and stealing from their own country citizens. Is that called being rich?

How sure are you if it was really true? A lot is happening and people also fake kidnap, all these for money and propaganda
