  • My journey through this great country continues, it is chaos with a certain order. I see things I've never seen before; it has a special essence. Heading to Calabar I find a couple of areas a little tense...

      In Nigeria you will find both extreme poverty and extreme wealth, there is basically no in between, or middle class. You will find nice expensive cars on poorly mantained roads. It's almost embarrassing in a way, at least to me. That people show off their wealth like that, but they don't even have good roads to show off on. It's like putting glitter on a turd.
      Honestly this guy is brave. My parents are Nigerian immigrants and we're considering going to Nigeria next year, and honestly I'm terrified. The stories we hear about people getting kidnapped and murdered make me extremely reluctant to go, yet here this guy is travelling through the streets with barely a care in the world. And he's very obviously not Nigerian in appearance, which makes him more of a target. I would never do it, even though I obviously blend in more easily.

      @Gentleman...Driver Рік тому

      People tell you all kinds of stuff. In Marocco they warn you to go to Algier, because "there are bad people" and "Ali Baba" (Bandits). When you go there you will see only nice people, who invite you to their homes, offer you a bed and food and tea. When you tell them that you are heading to Tunesia they tell you not to go there, because "there are bad people" and "Ali Baba". Then you go there and they are very friendly again.
      Its repeating. And those people who warn you, they have good intentions and all. They are worried about you. But they have never left their own country. So what they tell you is just rumors and bullshit.
      Even in Europe they tell you not to go to Italy or Spain "because its dangerous and people will rob you there." Truth is they are the most beautiful countries with lots of friendly people.
      Anything can happen anytime and everywhere. If you dont want to travel thats your loss, really. I have seen the world (two times from Europe to South Asia [through Iran and Pakistan by the way], one time from Europe to Siberia and one time from Europe to South Africa ---> and back again). They were the biggest adventures in my life, and you get used to the lifestyle. Its hard afterwards to get to a "normal" job. Because what we find is normal is actually not. I wasted so much time sitting from 9 to 5 in an office.
      Backpacking, travelling with the bike, and press on, continue on your journey, on your life, that really changes you and your perspective on the world.
      I can only recommend to do this.
