This was fun, Brittney! Thank you for having me! ❤
You are such a kind spirit. If you and your husband would like to come to Abuja, my guest room is waiting and ready to be used!
We will be there hopefully soon! I appreciate it! ❤
I'm so happy you're posting regularly again.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you! I’m trying! 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
This girl is pretty with a beautiful bone structure on her face!! First time seeing a Kenyan without the signature forehead 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂💀☠️
Some Luos and Luyhas have this look. Beautiful bone structures and amazing jawlines and thick hair with 'small' forehead. The big forehead gets more prevalent when you start going East amongst Kikuyus, Embus, and then full blown amongst Cushitic groups.

Lazima ungetaja kikuyu 😂 Kumbaff!
I have been to Lagos, Uganda and now I am in Johannesburg South Africa. I must say Lagos is hot as hell, my skin always looked great like I had a steam facial everyday. The food in lagos is excellent! EGUSI 😊
I love Laura’s vibe. She’s beautiful and smart 😊
She’s super smart, so gorgeous!
I'm kenyan and i have always been looking out for your content🖐️ ❤
💋💋💋💕
Brittany, I started watching you because I had an interest in Kenya but wanted the experience through a black diasporan lens. I stayed with you because I genuinely love your personality and you appear to be very honest
Thank you! I really love that and appreciate it. I try to be honest and transparent because fake people on UA-cam make me cringe LOL.
This was such a chill interview. I enjoyed it ❤
Thank you so much! 😍
There are so many tourist sites in Nigeria, it's just that the government are not interested in it , visit places like Bauchi state where you find the Bauchi warm spring, calabar you will find the obudu cattle ranch, the slavery museum e.t.c,ogbunike cave in Anambra,olumo rock in Ogun state,Jos one of the coldest city in Nigeria and so many more nice video by the way really love the conversation between the both of you
Government must not be interested. Private sector can take up the challenge.
I do plan on going to Jos! I’ve heard that many of these places start off very nicely, and then the maintenance goes down, and it becomes not worth visiting after a couple of years, but I definitely am going to check out as many as I can
Great to hear from you again, much respect from Kenya 🇰🇪
Hello there! Thanks for watching!
You guys vibes is amazing, almost as if you've known each other from creation of the world..
That’s how I was feeling! ❤️
She is so natural. Fantastic representation of Kenyan ladies. Really good ambassador of a good desired spouse. Great conversation, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching 💋💋🥰

Laura is a special person. Nigerians and West Africa is lucky to have her (and you). Lots of great ideas... like Minister of Tourism 😂😂😂, Npesa 😂😂😂
N-PESA 😂😂😂😂😂
Brittney Waldwell: do you notice something I noticed. You and the Traveling Miss/Susan were honest about the Nigerians being negative or blocking the progress of Nigeria. Whereas, your current Kenyan friend is a little more positive about Nigeria. She seems to like being in Nigeria and marrying a Nigerian. I ❤ you guys. jtsdrd, USA
Laura has been here for years compared to me who has only lived in Abuja for two months and Susan who was traveling through’ 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I love your channel, got to know through travelling miss and i have subscribed, your videos are worth ❤

Please you guys should be consistent here, 9ja go see join this beautiful train soon, it takes consistency.
Yayyyyyy ❤️ this warms my heart!
There's a tourism minister in Nigeria but it is a merged ministry called Ministry of Information, Culture & Tourism. That alone has Been an issue many of us Nigerians have been criticizing the govt for. That attitude was inherited from the past military govts who focused so much on petroleum income. Tourism needs to be taken more seriously now. For instance, There are world heritage sites in Osun state Nigeria, waterfalls as well as other attractions scattered around the country. There's interstate train service between Abuja & Kaduna, Ibadan & Lagos. Very interesting conversation.
Thank you I actually plan on making a video about it separately because the tourism and travel vlogger vibe could be a lot bigger here! I was actually very ignorant to the various trains that are here in Nigeria until I did some digging because it’s just not pushed often
Here via @LauraExplaura - totally loved both of your interviews. #subscribed! 💖
Welcome my love! ♥️♥️♥️❤️💕💚
@@BrittneyCaldwell Gracias!💝
There are trains in Nigeria though but building Lagos to Abuja might take a while. Right now the major trains are Warri to Itakpe (Itakpe is 2 hours from Abuja), Lagos to Ibadan, and Abuja to Kaduna. So unlike Nairobi to Mombassa, Nigerian train routes do not link the most popular cities (Lagos to Abuja).
I would love to actually try a train!
The Nigerians blundered on this. You needed an Abuja - Lagos more than Warri to Itakpe.
@@thedante7722 I agree. But Warri-Itakpe was already halfway completed by Military General Babangida in 1987. Then they only just started thinking of how to build Abuja. What Buhari did was to then complete Warri-Itakpe in 2020. Warri-Itakpe was also built with Steel industry in mind. Both Kogi and Delta had Steel complexes then. Ajaokuta was not completed and Delta steel was sold by the Obasanjo Government in 2002 during return to Democracy.
Kumbe Laura you have a ki congratulations
✨✨✨✨💞💞💞
Brittney for Minister of Tourism! 🙏🏽👏🏾😆
I've heard Nigeria doesn't have much in the way of tourism.
Not at all! From what I’ve heard whats built is always quickly kind of not maintained
Nairobi's tourism is quite intentional. I heard some Cameroonian lady say that.
SUPER on the forefront!
You should take the transportation buses for the route to Abuja to Lagos I stay in Lagos as a black American I would not dare waste my money on a plane trip I'll pay those 30,000 naria and if I want extra space still pay 10,000 naria extra so no one sits next to me 🤫
We love you Brittney
I love you back! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
My Kenyan sister and our nigerian in law ❤
💋💋💋💋💞💞💞💞
Huh what I never thought about coming to Nigeria and going to a wedding lol weird she said that on 26:25
I think we need to start tagging government officials on this kinds of videos, our government thinks everything is politics.... its very difficult for even common Nigerians to travel around talkless of foreigners... I think we start tagging them.
Please! My husband has been to Nairobi several time but only 3 cities in Nigeria ☠️☠️☠️☠️
@@BrittneyCaldwelleah that is why the flights are expensive, if there were enough train options then the flight prices will drop. And also Nigeria is almost double the size of Kenya so it will take a long time to complete these train projects, there are a couple of them ongoing. Another problem is that the government is more interested in their pocket only
Laura and Brittany you know l love you guys right??
WE LOVE YOU BACKKKK 💕💕💕
Hey Brittney 🙋
Hello my love!!! Miss you!!!
@@BrittneyCaldwell Nigeria ain't as good enough as Kenya🤧 but i follow you wherever you go, I'm waiting on you😌
Just passing through
💕🥰💕💕
Lagos is not really for Tourism, it is more for Business. Calabar was developed for Tourism by Governor Donald Duke but it slowed down since he left in 2007, but it has pick up in recent years. places to visit in Calabar and events are:
1. NATIONAL MUSEUM CALABAR (was built in the 1800s)
2. CROSS RIVER NATIONAL PARK
3. TINAPA RESORT
4. Calabar Carnival (Event for 1 month)
5. OBUDU MOUNTAIN RESORT
6. CHIEF EKPO BASSEY’S HOUSE
7. DUKES TOWN CHURCH (the first church in Nigeria)
8. MARY SLESSOR’S HOUSE
9. AGBOKIM WATERFALLS
10. DRILL REHABILITATION CENTRE
11. KWA FALLS
12. CALAVEGAS (still under construction)
This was SUPER useful!! WOW
Thank you so much!
@BrittneyCaldwell Calabar is now a shadow of what it used to be in 2007. It was the all and all for Nigeria in 2007 in terms of tourism ( many African countries were hosted there every December). The Governors who came after Donald Duke unfortunately did not share in that vision and over the years they abandoned the infrastructures for tourism there.
@@okiemute7744 The Carnival still holds but it was stopped for 2years because of covid, but It took place last year and it will be held again this year. Yeah the previous governors didn't do well to maintain some places like Tinapa resort for example. Hopefully the new governor will bring things back to life
@@albah289 the first church in Nigeria is in Benin city
There's ministry of culture and tourism both at federal and state government levels with hefty annual budget 😅
I am sure, but is it showing??? Is the budget working? 😂😂😂😂
@@BrittneyCaldwell Yes the budget is working. But for who I don't know 😀
Cash is king! Carry those sacks Brit 😂😂😅
Brit we Kenyans are still here. drop something controversial 🤣
Ah beg ooooooo! 😂😂😂😵💫
🇰🇪 - EVERYBODY in the WHOLE WORLD
❤Loves M-PESA in KENYA.
🇬🇧 I saw a British Guy who was even Buying a Newspaper and a Bottle of Water paying with M-PESA.✔️👌
🙏🏿😊😊😊😊😊
We have minister of tourism but the current government is yet to appoint his cabinet members.
Another thing is, the government is lazy and not ready to make good revenue that comes from tourism.
which is actually INSANE!
It's the algorithm, not the people, Brittany.
Makes sense!
wondered what happened to you since you left Kenya
Check out all of my prior videos and you will have that answer! 😙😙😜
Im among the one third kenyans 🙂
😂😂😂😂😂 hello ❤️
Ugali is a colonial food fed to prisoners by the British in Kenya and was used to solve famine emergency after British chased people from their lands
This makes so much sense because there’s just no way a Kenyan woke up one day and decided flour and water was the food of choice LMAO
but it common in a lot of Southern African countries also in some Asian countries
Ugali isn't a colonial food🤦..Ugali has been there since,only Africans used Sorghum,Millet etc depending on the tribe's economic crop in pre colonial times..and that's why there is brown Ugali, it's the OG Ugali..What was introduced to Africans is MAIZE that was never there.Dont spread misinformation please.
@@BrittneyCaldwell..Ugali was there before colonization..It is Maize that was introduced to Kenya.. different tribes made it from different crops at the time.
Minister of Interior

Honestly, the problem of Africans getting westernized is everywhere; I believe the problem is the same in Nigeria.....it depends on where you live in Nigeria (that's how corporate working elites live in Nigeria too).
Is westernization a bad thing?
@@BrittneyCaldwellDepends, building good systems like infrastructures, health, education etc like the West is good but adopting western culture and beliefs is bad.
@teeolaseinde, depends on what you mean by westernized, if it's about western culture and beliefs then maybe only Lagos is abit Westernized but not so much. The rest of Nigeria is not.
What part of Nigeria are you based
Abuja! FTC
@@BrittneyCaldwell FCT. 🍾🍸💕
As a Kenyan I would feel restricted living in Nigeria, there's no freedom of movement
This is true. But for safety reasons I get reducing bodas, but that is something I miss HEAVILY!
Brittney is from Yoruba tribe Nigeria not Kenya
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nobody cares
Our constitution allows you to have two citizenships. Nigeria is just the birth place ...😂😂
Nigeria is not for fainted hearted. It’s like walking on a tar pond. Ugly but doable if your boots hold
Pray my boots HOLD 😂☠️
@@BrittneyCaldwell . 🙏🏿
These are my exact words about about Nigeria.
