This is the longest and toughest journey I've ever embarked on. I'm glad we did it together.
Thank you, too!
David owes you for all the driving duties😅
@@SCh9912 🤣🤣🤣
@S Chuku, Abeg Borrow me some money let me pay my debt.😂
Am epic Moment!!! To be Cherished in my Old Age!!!
why una take river rather than taking road trip to wukari?
I admire your dedication to document your travels in your beautiful country, sir. This was an incredible journey you undertook and your videos are inspirational. Best regards from an Australian man who loves Africa, may God bless you 🔥🙏💯
Thank you MegaUltra17, Warm regards
Northern Nigeria has a savannah (semi arid) vegetation while southern Nigeria has a forest vegetation
Oh my goodness, you and Big Willz together are a UA-cam match made in heaven! My two favorite Naija Tubers paired up and on the go. This is a treat to watch. Love ❤ both of you guys. Stay safe and keep it up!
Wow wow, Pretty Boomer, thank you for your kind support. I appreciate it
Thanks for this adventure as always. Please be safe out there.
Jamaicans and Nigerians are the same type of people, very creative and lively. Only the language is different, My uncle when to Nigeria once and came back and told us , Nigerians and Jamaicans are brothers and sisters, he believes the slaves that came to Jamaica came from Nigeria. This is why Jamaicans are the giants of the Caribbean and Nigerians are the giants of Africa.
Your uncle spoke the truth. Can't wait to visit Jamaica, sending love from Nigeria😘
I truly appreciate the efforts you put forth to bring your content to share the beauty of Nigeria with the world! Please keep up your wonderful work!!
Dear David, I travel and traverse Nigeria, through you these days….something I did in the early 90’s!
Let me also tell you, I smile just watching the smile you wear!
Nice work, you do on our dear country, Nigeria!
90's. When Nigeria was Nigeria! Now Travel across Nigeria is for the Brave! The Heart of Many fails them on hearing the would travel across Nigeria. And you can't blame them, we pray for better day ahead.
@@DavidNkwa we really 🙏 pray
Your work is always golden and evergreen bro
Thank you Bryan
Very stressful journey but worth it bcos of ur fans🙏👍
Thank you.
Hope the fans are sharing this video
Mambila Plateau the Swiss Alps of Nigeria. Awesome weather and European friendly. Tse Tse flies free and rich in cattle,milk and hides. A+++++
I loved this video. EVery minute of it. It was genuinely natural and the vibe speaks originality. I've literally taken a journey with you guys through the vast savannah! Godspeed !
Glad you enjoyed it!

News consuming can be fuss and isolating ' kudos to you my brother you're a giant one I mean I'm not disputing that Nigeria is going through insecuritie but they'll say it in a way that you'll be discourage to even go outside' like I'm looking at the North through your videos and I'm so amazed we need to get out sometime and just explore.
Very true.
The insecurity is not as bad as it seems
Fuel is 320,330,310 in port Harcourt.
Thanks to you and Big Wilz😘😘
Thank you
@Alice Effiong, thank you for watching ❤
Nwanne'm, proud of your work. You are doing well. Much love from Thailand.
Thank You Boss.
Kindly share the video on your social networks
Great content David. What an adventure this must have been for you guys. Mambilla and Taraba state are amazingly beautiful. So many others overlook these parts of Naija. Thanks for this. Weldone sir! 👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you.
Kindly share the video
For obvious reasons, sadly!! For instance, has anyone any idea of the budget for these areas🤷🏾🤷🏾….but we as a country MUST FACE THESE simple TRUTHS!!
A serious Government, State&Fed, should actively invest in and promote these attractions…Tinapa, I gather is in a sorry state, even after the exposure it got through ‘half of a yellow Sun’ biopic.
Thank you David
I pray to God to continue to guide and protect you as you go about documenting this places for us. The road in some parts are just too bad and lonely to be on.
Thank you
I'm happy you did impossible journey to possibly thank God you are pleased
Mr. David, you are doing amazing work. I am proud of your work. God bless you.
I am from Taraba...thank you...i have been a fan for long
Awesome.
Kindly share the videos.
More dropping soon
Thank you so much for filming this adventure. So interesting I really enjoyed. I can wait to see the final destination.
Coming soon.
Thank you
And they left all these spaces and continue rushing down to the East to disturb.
My goodness the ferry part got me hold my breathe 😄,,but its good adventure keep it up
Glad you enjoyed it
Since I came across your channel, I have been traveling through your shooting, by data
🤣🤣by data. Nice. Please kindly share the video
Chai nasarawa road don spoil finish
48 hours on the road and only 2 military checkpoints,scanty population, vast land
We all need security in Nigeria to embrace our true diversity
I really wish you will bring out time and do a series of the rivers in the southeast and investigate whether these rivers can be expanded into the Atlantic Ocean. This will give insight to people who wants to build and construct seaports in eastern Nigeria.
Thanks for suggestions, although that not going to be an easy task, if one is to do a proper documentary. So that will require good funding, so if we get one, we will, not for now, no way.
@@DavidNkwa ok
May God protect you on this adventures
Amen. Thank you
I cannot wait to see Naija live😅. This is good stuff o. Many thanks 👏🏿👍🏿✊🏿
Thanks for watching
I have subscribed to your channel and pressed the like button because I think you are doing something very original, educative and full of information. However the value of your work, is in my humble opinion, reduced by your side comments and other over-spontaneous mannerism. Do not forget that your work is being viewed worldwide and is also been measured against the quality of other similar works. Kindly reduce your side comments and concentrate on the subject matter. That is what the audience would appreciate. The opinions expressed here are strictly personal please. Continue to explore the wonderful country called NIGERIA and best of luck to you!
alright David Tukura, feedback taken. cheers
Love your video details, keep it up when i grow up i want to be like youoooo. Weldone bro
😂😂 Thank you
David Nkwa , kudos on this documentary. I'll love to follow you on one of these your trips around the beautiful country called Nigeria.
You are welcome to join, but its not for the faint hearted, all that glisters is not gold 😂
@@DavidNkwa yes I know, been preparing physically and mentally.
My kinda content. Watched every second. Well done guys 👏🏾
Thank you for watching Random MZ, Hope you are doing okey
@@DavidNkwa how can I be okay? Naija should change its name to “Time and resource wasting” land bereketey and people all over. No part of Nigeria should take more than 24hrs to get to even if traveling from the furthest extremes of the country. But our leaders are all about themselves and nothing else. Let me not cloud the joy you express in your contents. Keep it up
Naija matter gives headache, you can't take it or take life too seriously.
We stay happy today and hope for the best tomorrow ☺️
More Grace to you Sir, your videos are amazing, I am hooked to this channel
Lovely thank you.
Kindly help share the video
It is a clear video-streaming....The background music made everything enjoyable and interesting to watch.
Ka nwanne m..... Imela nke oma
Becareful oooo

Very educative, please be safe out there. Nigeria is a beautiful country.
Thank you
Are you SERIOUS?
I've been longing to do a road trip round Nigeria but the insecurity won't permit.
27:10 😂😅❤ 👍👍👍
love your video
Well done. You're dedication to the channel will get you far. I know it took a lot of time to edit this video because it was a done nicely.
Thank you.
WOG, hope you are doing okay 👍
@David Nkwa I'm definitely not doing my best but in due time the good Lord will restore me... Thanks for asking. 🙏🏿
keep up the good work🔥 amazing content
All are unique in this channel, Godbless You Bro.
By the way Taraba is not northern Nigeria but rather central Nigeria.
Taraba is in the North east, not Central Nigeria.
We dash una the taraba pls. Take to the south east if you like.
@@ahmednjidda6182 please no dash any state to any region. Use math concepts of longitude and latitude to determine each state’s placement.
Awwwww!! God bless u David
Why be say na only Big Willz drive? Una for share am now?
😂
Bad road
Una get liver, sha. E bi like say na Lugard pass that road last time, before una.
😂😂😂😂😂 Chei , i no think am oh
With that bad road why won’t fuel be 300 naira. Can you imagine the cost of maintenance on the tanker that bring fuel to that place.
Why can't govt build bridge for them
Its been awarded. But looks like its also been abandoned
@@DavidNkwa sadly
@Omotola Olaniyi-it would happen these bridges, when the Citizens recognise that they have to elect people with the capacity to make THEIR OWN lives better; and there’s no deity rights to rule when you have no ability to improve the place beyond the primitive
12:oo look at the joy in those young faces for the interaction….you can’t but imagine, if only Nigeria can harvest their strength and ingenuity
Very interesting video. My question is how was driving from Abuja to Ibi river? Did you use maps to navigate? And would Google maps serve a similar purpose? I would love to see map integrations in your videos.
quiero ir avisitarlo a fines de año
Well-done. I respect you, your works and effort.
Thank you
I'm confused as you keep repeating that you are travelling up North, while most of Taraba State is even more South than Abuja on the map.
So, you consider Taraba to be part of the South? Where are you from?
@@dermotwallace5533 Taraba is the Northeast. Look at the map
Taranaki is middlebelt please.
If you are in Taraba, you are already in Gongola. Both Taraba and Adamawa used to be the Gongola state. I believe the Gongola river is dried up.
Yes
Benue Trough and Amazing Nigeria. Benue Trough the Fertile Crescent of West Africa. God's special gift to Nigeria
👍
una dey try oh. well done
Thanks for watching
Great classic journey. Kudos!
David buenas tardes, tengo preguntas para ti , sobre un lugar lalamdo Port Harcourt
De Omoku, me gustaria poder saber si es seguro para visitar o vivir personas blancas
How does your Acura cooped with the rigour of this journey. I asked out of interest seeing you are driving one.
I hope the final destination was rewarding for U…..given the effort & time it took to get there
Thanks for asking. Yes it was. More video already dropping on the channel
Friendships, diverse friendships, are more precious than "silver and gold": keep treasuring them!!
Like, share and subscribe to and support David and BigWillz!!
@UC Ukaoma, thank you bro 🙏
I love your videos it's very real almost like we're with you on the adventure.
Thank you.
Kindly share
kudus bro you try if not because of insecurity i wish you would have come to zamfara State
Yes Zamfara, will be there someday. Keep watching.
The North of Nigeria is severely underdeveloped... The rate of underdevelopment is mind boggling...
These communities are sparsely populated, and they are very productive... These people should have small scale agro processing plants across the LGAs, these are farming communities... I mean setting up a drying plant is worth a LGA one month allocation from the FG...
They will make money and make money for the farmers
Nigeria has potential but this culture of grand theft and government corruption is killing us
No SOLAR POWER IDEAS rhere.
Africa needs to invest in air travel especially local traveling , driving for two days is hectic and discourages tourism within
Fact!!!
BUHARI in NIGERIA is manufacturing passenger jets ok copying BOEING'S.....ok
They should fix the roads
Yes they need to. follow our Northern and Eastern Nigeria Doc Series Here: rb.gy/zfcsy6 and rb.gy/mdz3fx
Ah you been dey complain say fuel cost for 300...haha now na how much Sir?...
i love your videos, i wish to explore nigeria too after hustling abroad most defnetly
Awesome.
For now enjoy with me, more video coming.
Kindly like and share the video
Thank you
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching Festus, Kindly follow our Northern and Eastern Nigeria Doc Series Here: rb.gy/zfcsy6 and rb.gy/mdz3fx
No wild animals sighted 20 mins in
🤣🤣🤔
@@DavidNkwa but think am... you guys were drove hours on an isolated road and not one wild animal, where did they all go to? Over hunting?
No other alternative means to wukari other than crossing river..preferably by road?
none that i know
I really admire your hard work in creating contents. Please, wear compression stockings if you have to sit for hours in a vehicle before you get to a destination. On the other hand, stop occasionally and stretch to exercise your legs. Thank you for the extra effort you take to shows us places in remote Nigeria.
Great suggestion! Thank you very much
U nut CASE
Taraba isn't up north, the parts u went through all are middle belt. I'm from Taraba, if not I went through the video, seeing ur heading, first thing that came to my was sokoto, zamfara and co
I did actually, but not on this video.
Keep watching more to come
If u're from Taraba u should know that Taraba is in the North east and Sokoto, Zamfara are North West.
@@DavidNkwa Tale correction and start mentioning them as the Middle-belt. They're not in the North.
@@1982mr1995 No, they aren't in the North but Middle-Belt.
@@dermotwallace5533 As Nigeria's geo-political region goes, there's no any region called middle belt. There's only North West, North east, and North Central in the North and Taraba does not belong to North Central, which consists of states like Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa, Niger, Kogi, Kwara and the FCT. The middle belt is rather a political identity championed by Northern christians (such as J.S. Tarka, Dan Suleiman, Jerry Gana etc) as a response to perceived political maginalization by the predominant Hausa-Fulani-Kanuri- Nupe Muslim hegemony during the post-indepence politics of the Lugardian North. And that's why the middle belt include christian part of Kebbi and southern Kaduna in the North West, christian parts of Adamawa, Gombe, Bauchi and southern Borno all in the North east. And these were merged with the North Central region or the real geographic center of Nigeria, FCT, Plateau, Nasarawa, Niger and Benue because of their predominant christian population.
Making a special prayer you don't get kidnapped by Boko Haram or the Fulani Herdsmen. Stay safe pls.
If you're going from Abuja to Gembu in Taraba, why are you calling it Northern Nigeria? Going to the North would imply you go to Sokoto, Kano, Jigawa, Borno, Bauchi, etc. Gembu is literally to the South-East of Abuja.
Taking this type of adventure, you must sure of your tyres and spares
With boko haram... This is risky.. Your channel diserve 10mill followers
Nna no road and the ppl are now so used to suffering. Hmmmm
Sadly
Sadly!
Though the people are partly to blame; they have to rise up and take the Bull by the horn….and vote lousy leaders out!
Thank you for all you're doing, putting the True Nigeria story out there to the World by a Niga boy to the Universe.
I pray for you and your team that The Lord will be Mercyfull unto you secure and establish you. Amen.
Thank you
STOP bothering GOD in KENYA too much THIEVES there and NIGERIA...
You are doing great job 👍✌🏾😅but be careful exposing at night for your safety Goddess IJN
Bro were you not afraid of bandits and others in this journey ?
😂😂Fear Fear Man no they buy motor, you don't forget? But seriously, God is my Shield and Buckler he watches over me and you and if you are conscious of that, nothing will move you.
3:35… next time be sure to either take an Hausa speaking crash course, or do it online before heading off!!!
Yes Boss!
Seems the northerners are blessed with Bush meat
🤔
The journry would have been faster if the roads were not so bad
Always wear a car seat belt for your safety. Others traveling in a car should do same.
Mind where u go to in the north if not u may be a victim of Fulani boko halam killers ok
Please you guys should be careful of boko haram .na dia territory ooo
Cowards die like female dogs. Real men dare to explore. So keep your pessimist mind to yourself. Taraba is safe.
Too much of your face. Wish you had point the camera on the landscape.
Agreed! And more interaction with the locals. Moreover, you should be aware that pidgin English is not a lingua franca of the northern areas of West Africa as the coastal regions.
What an adventure....🏞.. I watched the whole video...
