    Nigeria is the worlds largest importer of Norwegian Stockfish, a traditional Norwegian food where cod is dried in the cold air over wooden racks until it's rock hard. During the Biafran war Norway sent some stockfish with their aid shipments, and nigerians are so fond of fish that they've been eating it ever since.

    If you are doing a filler episode on Malaysia in future episodes, here’s my explanation on the 13 states of Malaysia:
    1.) Perlis: The Northernmost and the smallest state in Malaysia and is most famous for its caves the famous one being Gua Kelam and is famous for its seafoods as the main activities there is mostly fishing, also lots of paddy fields and is also famous for Wang Kelian Border Market which is located in Padang Besar bordering Thailand. The Capital of Perlis is Kangar.
    2.) Kedah: Kedah is often considered a ‘rice bowl’ of Malaysia as it is one of the largest producers of rice in the country and its landscapes are mostly dominated by paddy fields. They even have their own Kedah Paddy Museum, Kedah is also known for places like Bujang Valley, Alor Setar Tower, Kedah State Art Gallery and don’t forget Kedah’s most famous tourist destination and its none other than Langkawi Island, which is very famous for its beaches, Due to its breathtaking natural scenery and landscapes. Langkawi is also one of Malaysia’s duty free zones and this also means that things like alcohol are openly sold there sometimes at a cheaper price without being subjected to tax regulations. The Capitol of Kedah is Alor Setar.
    3.) Penang: Consists of Penang Island and the one on the mainland known as Seberang Perai. And this also gave Penang the nickname “Pearl Of The Orient”. It was also part of the three entities of the Strait Settlements It is very famous for its rich cultures, history and UNESCO heritage sites with its colonial style buildings, temples, arts, and not to mention for its Peranakan Baba Nyonya culture which are people descended from Chinese traders whom have intermarried with local people and have created a fusion of Chinese and Malay culture and traditions, Penang is also known for being a food haven and its most famous dish being the Penang Char Kway Teow. Penang is also known as a hub for its circuit board manufacturing industry. Famous places include Penang Hill, Baba Nyonya mansion, Batu Ferringhi Beach, Fort Cornwallis, Kek Lok Si Temple, Penang War Museum and many more. The Capital of Penang is George Town.
    4.) Perak: Perak was famous for its history as a tin mining region and its history goes way back when the story starts with Long Jaafar, a Malay chief of Larut whom discovered tin deposits while he was bathing in a river and Since then, Perak have prospered for its tin ore mining productions and this also led to the migration of Chinese working as tin miners in Perak. These various Chinese clans began to rival one another and started vying for control over the tin industry and this led to the Larut war and Ngah Ibrahim, whom is the chief of Larut, and the son of Long Jaafar, began asking for help from a British superintendent from the British Strait Settlements named Captain Speedy to solve the dispute. Nowadays, Perak is most famous for places like Kellie’s Castle, Ipoh Railway Station, Gua Tempurong, Leaning Tower Of Teluk Intan and many more. The capital of Perak is Ipoh.
    5.) Selangor: Sometimes referred to as the “Gateway to Malaysia” as it hosts Malaysia’s main international airport which is Kuala Lumpur International Airport located in Sepang. It also host one of the largest seaports in Malaysia known as Port Klang. Selangor is also a major hub for commerce, industry and service sectors and has a lot of industrial areas cities like Subang Jaya, Petaling Jaya and more. Places of interests include Sunway Lagoon, Batu Caves, Sepang International Circuit, Klang River, Shah Alam Stadium and Cyberjaya.

    6.) Negeri Sembilan: The state is very famous and unique as it is the only state in Malaysia which the population mostly descended from the ethnic Minangkabau groups and that is why you can mostly see a lot of Minangkabau esthetics especially in the architecture, culture and arts. Places of interest include Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan State Museum, Istana Seri Menanti and many more. Capital of Negeri Sembilan is Seremban.
    7.) Melaka: Also known as the Historical state, Melaka was also one of the three Strait Settlements alongside Penang and Singapore. Melaka Is best known for not only its rich history but also a fusion of cultures as Melaka was considered as a hub for trading due to its strategic location in the Melaka straits and people from all over the world especially Chinese and Indian traders not only stop to trade but even intermingled and marrying the local Malay people in which the descendants became the Peranakan people not only included the Baba Nyonyas, but also the Chettis Whom are considered the Indian Peranakan which is an ethnic groups whom are descendants from early Indian traders intermarrying with the local Malay people and lastly, the Kristang people which are descendants from Portuguese settlers and colonialists.

    9.) Pahang: The third largest state in Malaysia and the largest state in Peninsular Malaysia. And this makes it the most geographically diverse state with vast natural rainforests which is home to diverse flora and faunas. So this is also the reason why Pahang has many national parks and reserves and the most famous one being Taman Negara, Gunung Tahan Wildlife Park, and more. Pahang is also famous for places like Genting Highlands which is home to Genting Theme Park and Resorts, Cameron Highlands which is famous for its mountainous climate which makes it suitable for planting certain fruits including strawberries, passion fruits and also tea plantations, Bukit Tinggi French Village and Fraser Hill and also Tioman Island The Capital of Pahang is Kuantan.
    10.) Kelantan: Kelantan is sort of like the Aceh of Malaysia as it is the one of the most conservative religious states governed by Sharia law with restrictions on clothing, gambling, alcohol, entertainment and etc. And this is also why Kelantan is the only state in Malaysia to have no cinemas and entertainment outlets, Besides that, Kelantan is most well known for its agricultural economy and is home to the most famous Gua Musang cave which is surrounded by limestone hills and popular with rock climbers and cave explorers. Kelantan is also famous for its beaches, handicrafts, marketplace and more.

Sarawak: The largest state in Malaysia and one of the two special states located in East Malaysia along with Sabah, it has one of the most unique histories, culture and status as it is one of the founding states of the Malaysian Federation alongside Sabah, Malaya and Singapore in 1963 which means that the state has certain autonomy and rights enshrined to Sarawak via the Malaysian Agreement 1963 which includes immigration in which Malaysians from outside Sarawak must bring a passport or IC to enter Sarawak and have a work permit if they want to work in the state. It is the only state in Malaysia to have a Christian majority population and have no official religion and this also explains why Sarawak recently also has a lot of separatist movements. Sarawak is famous for the Gawai festival and also famous for its lush rainforests, flora and fauna including the famous rafflesia flower and the Rhinoceros hornbills which gave Sarawak the nickname “Land Of The Hornbills”. Places of interest includes Damai Beach, Sarawak Cultural Village, Niah Cave, Semenggoh Wildlife Reerve, Mulu National Park, Niah Cave and more. The capital of Sarawak is Kuching.

      Part of Cameroon was Nigeria and when we ceded that part to Cameron a lot of Igbo’s remained there and this is a factual and well known story. The Igbo’s introduced their food, culture, customs and Nigerian slangs and pidgin into the rest part of anglophone Cameroon. It’s public information, you can read it up.

    19:22 The capital of Anambra State is Awka ("awe-KAH") not "Akwa". Prior to 1991, Nigeria had 21 states. Most states were split into two or three states, including Anambra, which originally encompassed what is now Anambra, Enugu, and Ebonyi States. And the old Anambra State's capital was Enugu (which is now the capital of Enugu State).
