Mate "brand UK" is still a major selling point there. I have seen other vloggers (Nigerians) visit to Kano and they weren't received the way you were. I never saw the fleet of cars before, none were turbaned. Kano and Hausa and Fulani culture is something very unique. They could do well with tourism if they could clean up their environment and improve security. The environment when u disturbed is surprisingly green. I was expecting dust and very few trees and lots of camels. The other thing that struck me was the rate of modernisation under the British. The conquest was in 1903, the airport in 1927, the Queen Mother's visit in 1957 this is all in a relatively short timespan. I discovered the British were only in Sudan for 60 years but their influence is less due to the direction Sudan moved in upon gaining independence from the British in 1956. Another great video (yet again). Nagode.
Thanks again for watching! And commenting, being able to communicate with viewers is one of the great joys of UA-cam. I guess the British Colonial legacy has remained stronger in Northern Nigeria. Saying that, I had a few people on the streets saying “Ni hao” to me. A changing of the guard. It’s a very nice climate up there, tropical savanna. Cool evenings and much drier. And if you watched Kano Part 1 we went out into the Kano bush to see the diverse agricultural farming. You’re right. Quite rapid. I guess by then they were getting quite good at it. You’re right, there’s truly huge tourism potential and many things have been well preserved. Sudan, would love to go there! Appreciate again, lots more to come. Hope you enjoy going forward 🙏🇳🇬
@@Waxbill No doubt I will enjoy. Your take on things is very different. Brits of yesteryear, WERE very reserved and kept the locals at a distance for a number of reasons ie fear of disease, danger or over-familiarisation with the locals that may result in a loss of respect etc. You have thrown "all caution to the wind" and seem perfectly at home there. I would never try Dambe boxing (Hausa boxing). I saw the episode where the guy graded hibiscus leaves this was delegated to rural women. Made me think that socialism could do wonders for such an environment... There are a whole load of Nigerians who settled in Sudan around the Gizera plains around Khartoum - some were pilgrims who never made it back, others were refugees from the time the British conquered Northern Nigeria some Hausa & Fulani nobility fled by horse to Sudan - where they stayed.

The fact that even in a place as rural and “undeveloped” as Kano can document history from 999 is insane to me 😮💨 just shows how much respect they have for their culture, tradition, and all. Great video as always, informative and entertaining at the same time😄
@@ThePolicyPodium Kano wasn't even rural for a long time. It was a major termination hub for trans-Sahara trade. The religion and other forms of influence bear testimony to that.
Great videos. One thing I've noticed about Nigerian culture is that it's very common to just have people hanging out anywhere you go. Like the large amount of people in front of the Emir's palace. I used to find it weird but living in the West, I miss it. It shows that a place is lively.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 🙏 🇳🇬. Have to say the begging was pretty frustrating and widespread. Saying that, it’s likely that salaries haven’t kept up with the rapid inflation of goods and devaluation of the Naira over the past few years. Not an excuse but there is suffering out there
They're probably paid very low wages. Do you think they'd be begging if they received fair or decent salaries? The Nigerian government should step in and pay for the maintenance of the royal palaces and staff salaries.
from kenya disgusted by these traditions , surrounded by very very poor and he has to be worship, a billionaire, he shouldn't be worshipped he should be improving the life of his people gosh!!!!!!!!!
Sanusi one of the most brilliant minds in Nigeria is wasting away in a position thats of no relevance to his people, Nigeria or africa! I mean even his security look poverty stricken Could be running for presidency to bring prosperity to Nigeria, but all for culture right... shame

For real. This is why I love Nigeria my country
