Hi The Demouchets,
Frankly speaking, I'd say that choosing to do reaction vidoes of other content creators is truly smart of you guys. Luckily you two exude such beautiful charisma, soft spoken personality and empathy as a couple in all of your reaction vidoes. And these things make you attractive as a people and leaving your TH-cam family (your subscribers) utterly impressed and always coming back for more contents on your channel
.
Circling back on the smart choice of doing reaction videos instead. Not only do you get to enjoy watching videos from other content creators with so much enthusiasm and open mindedness as you get to react to it. However, you also get to learn a ton of new things, increasing your knowledge bank from all of the different varieties of vidoe which you consume. If you ask me, nothing is more beautiful than that. And I particularly enjoy your reactions to the videos just as much you both do.
Moreso, the today's reaction vidoe was especially dear to me because I am Nigerian.
I couldn't help but grin from ear to ear seeing your genuine reactions of excitement of a very colourful nation and of curiosity in a bid to understand why certain things are the way they are in a country called the giant of Africa. And that warms my heart.
Well, should you decide to have Nigeria as one of the countries in Africa in your bucket list to visit. Be rest reassured of an overwhelmingly amazing experience - the culture, food, people, sightseeing, wildlife, night life, parties, music... The list goes on.
I'd have particular love to host you guys there. But unfortunately, I live abroad.
But hey, here comes the goodnews. Should you guys then at anytime decide to visit Germany particularly the North of Germany, feel free to hit me up. I'd be more than delighted to host you in my city and give you a guided tour. And we could explore other cities together as well, hopefully time permits.
Similarly, by the nature of my job and career which you can probably deduce from my channel name, US is a place I frequent especially the port cities in the East and the West Coast. I hope you that you'd be just as happy to extend the hosting gesture as well :)
Anyways, I just really want to appreciate your guys. You are doing so well, which is also evident in the steady growth of your channel. Can't more happier for you both.
I bet I'm speaking the mind of everyone when I say we excitedly look forward to your reaction videos always.
Keep doing what you do. Stay safe and healthy. And I bet its never to late to wish you guys a Happy Thanksgiving (I hate to say in arrears already) haha
Kindest regards from Germany! ❤️🇩🇪
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtfulness. Thank you for seeing us beyond the content. We are learning so much and building a beautiful, loving community. We'd love to connect when the time comes. Happy Thanksgiving! Much love to Nigeria! God bless.
So much people are in poverty here in Nigeria because of the bad/corrupt government, the money that is being made by the country is actually embezzled or stolen by the people in government living the citizens in poverty.
@ideastv2583 In the book Alex Haley wrote, it says The Gambia.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT well he got it wrong. Kente cloth is from Ghana.
There is no town called Porno, it's Borno, capital of Borno state in the North East.
And there are numerous natural deep sea ports, but for political reasons, all is concentrated in Lagos.
Thank you. I was going to comment this and saw your comment.
Capital of Borno state is Maiduguri
500+ languages in one country is mind boggling 🤯 so much diversity ❤ very interesting country
I don't think it reaches that amount 🤔 it's 300+
@@sadiqsabo1726 You got it wrong brother, about 250+ ethics and 500+ spoken languages.... They are not far from the truth.
500 +
It's not a true 500 languages spoken in Nigeria the truth is is different Clans have different dialects it's all to me at least send a gambian and in the family language it's a very tonal collection of languages I can hear the tone and almost everyone understands if you can basically speak your but your understood but there's certain dialects that are more popular but every family AKA Clan had a different section of the Kingdom that's still intact today culturally it's just passed down but it's not really true separation of a language like y'all can understand each other it's like if someone can speak English and Spanish just like and it's called Spanglish it's like a mixture of English Creole mixed in with local African dialects y'all know what I mean anyways take care and God bless.
@@amenhalleluyah1111 There are even more than 500 cos we have 371 tribes and no tribe speak the same language
Nigerians has different type of tribe but we are ONE,we are not scared of anything or anybody,we act the same,we think the same,Lagos and Abuja aren't the only beautiful place in Nigeria we many places like,Port Harcourt city,Enugu city, Asaba city,Akure city and many more but I will recommend Lagos for you guys if you wanna come to Nigeria,and don't forget we are the GIANT OF AFRICA 💪🇳🇬🔥🇳🇬,we are so smart and business minded people we don't hate on others and we don't give a f*ck to anything others says about us, Nigerians are the happiest people on planet earth dispute or bad government and economy we still put smile on our faces,other Africans says we are scammers no we are not we are just too smart for them and it in our DNA we are the BEST in everything both GOOD or BAD but we are not proud of the bad sides of us either okay....PEACE 🔥🔥🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬💪💪💯❤️❤️🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Much love!
also from Nigeria, from Ekiti but live in Lagos
Abuja has a more tolerable weather than Lagos. It's not as humid and temperatures can go lower. Plus, it's a laid back city compared to Lagos.
Nigeria is bless with everything whe have so much things that you can find anywhere
I love how y'all want to learn about my country Nigeria, love y'all
I'm from Nigeria and I'm in my 60's I do loveee your Channel.a.lot. I think my daughter told me about your Channel and ever since then I've been hooked. I don't watch too much TV anymore but I still watch you Guys. Such a nice young family ! God bless your family. Nigeria ia a very very good country. The people have a very good heart but the Givt. Corruption is on another and THAT is the main problem of Nigeria. Otherwise it's a very good country. You guys will enjoy yourself ! If you guys have any questions about Nigeria , you can reach out to me. I love what you're doing cos you're trying to Learn about your roots. Very commendable !
Welcome to the family, Star! We’re grateful for your support. Much love!
about the scams, statistically speaking with numbers and not stereotypes Nigeria is nowhere close to most other nations for cybercrime we just got unlucky with the stereo types lol, china, america, russia, canada, austrialia all come before nigeria
Factzzzzz
Well we have the numbers to change that narrative, it’s time to rewrite our story…just as you have done here…thank you ❤
Don’t forget India, Romania Bangladesh Pakistan all come before Nigeria in cybercrime
Iam very honoured to be a Nigerian!!! LOVE my Country.
We mount 🇳🇬 ❤
As a South African I really enjoy the beef between Ghana and Nigeria jollof I don't know how are we going to settle that beef😂😂😂
No beef at all. Jollof is actually overatted. Try Nigerian fried rice....you will never mention jollof again trust me❤
When Ghana admit our is better!!!!!
It’s not real beef , Nigeria and Ghana are like siblings
Those people are like witchcrafts dont mind them..
Nigerian jollof is better
This guy finished the fact of the facts about Nigeria. 👌🏾
I think the coolest place in Nigeria in terms of weather is Jo's - Plateau State according to people.
Mandika’s are also in Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal and Mali I think! AND Jollof rice is called Thiebu dieun in Senegal and is the national dish which is cooked a little bit differently, it is also known in Ghana. But Jollof is a kingdom we shared. In the end we were one big kingdom before countries were created I love us 🥰🥰🥰
I love that now you're on the road to 100k
Thank you for being on this journey with us!
I don’t know if it was intentional, but I think that swole dude was portraying Shango with the lightning ax. He’s a powerful Yoruba thunder orisha/deity similar to Thor.
Yes, I thought of that.
When it comes to yam/food,no one comes close to the igbos,the yam festival is very beautiful and fun,the yam can be prepared by roasting with delicious sauce, some pounded yam,porridge, soups,and many more.
Just when you think you've heard it all... Something new pops out from Nigeria.
As a Nigerian, our main issue is corruption and greed of the elites and politicians. Gross mismanagement of money and resources. Also…TRIBALISM!!!
Corruption is everywhere in the World. Don't take ownership of it and don't let them pin it on you.
@@yomi7742 if obesity is the main cause of my deteriorating health, and I acknowledge that, it doesn't mean no other person is obese. All that matters is that I recognise my issues and work to fix them, so I can be healthy, happy, and stay alive.
As man thinketh so is he.
Borno with a 'B' that dude trippin lol.
I love you guys!! Whenever y’all do your Ancestry I hope y’all are mostly Nigerian!!❤ I need some sort of connection 😂
😅❤ Chile, you just took support to another level! We're gonna need to redo our wedding day if we are so we can have a traditional wedding!
@@TheDemouchetsREACTyou guys need a Nigerian wedding
Thanks for the reaction, and if you do decide to Visit nigeria I'd recommend Lagos over Abuja, Abuja is more quite and clean, but you'll get the real Nigeria experience by visiting lagos there you'll find the Yoruba and the Igbo people, all the Wedding videos you've been reacting to are from those 2 ethnic group.
Thanks you for the recommendation!
@@TheDemouchetsREACT If you can... still spend time in both Lagos and Abuja....and its a good recommendation to connect with a popular Nigerian TH-camr to get the real feel...
You did get to see other tribes not only igbo and yoruba that live in lagos .different ethnicity people .lagos is made up of different ethnicity living there . Different ethnicity of nigeria 🇳🇬 ok
As a European (although my wife is from Calabar), Lagos is definitely more authentic but Abuja is a bit more organised. Think NYC v Washington DC. Calabar, Cross River State and Akwa Ibom are lovely but can be confusing if you don't have anybody to guide you. Make arrangements to meet up with Nigerians to support you, or else you'll miss out greatly. If you can get there at the right time, don't miss the carnival in Calabar. Over two million people visiting and attending. You'll also find the best egusi there. Lagos has people from all over the world, not just from Nigeria. Literally from all over the world. Do try suya from a street vendor. It's delicious. 🇳🇬
For the fish, we have it smoked, iced, dried e.t.c. We use them to make soups, and stews
The funny thing is most people have their own house and not paying mortgage.....it doesn't matter how much they have ..... poverty is not as normal as other countries poverty because their is always something to do. Some people don't even understand what poverty is
Wtf is this comment? Most people have their own houses???? People don't know what poverty is because there's always something to do?????
Lovely reactions, with love from Nigeria.
Much love!
Well, there is customary laws and federal laws that run separate and alongside. So, traditional rulers are not ignored by government, but they have influence in their own tribes, rather than nationally. So, there is an election next year ,so while presidential candidates campaign, they go to the traditional rulers to show respect as they influence their own people and can endorse them.
Love this!
Bulaba balubu ???
@@pee-buddy 😂😂😂😂
God bless PDAPC
Well while visiting Nigeria drop by Lagos too
A visit to Nigeria can't be complete without experiencing Lagos.
The weather in Abuja is a little more humid than Lagos yes take your coat especially when you visit between September to January
Our chiefs, kings (Obas, Igwes and Emirs ) are all traditional rulers they are seen as custodians of our heritage and tradition.
Sometimes they act as diplomats between the locals and government and vice versa .
Will do!
Lagos is more humid than Abuja. Abuja can be very cold in the early mornings but very hot in the afternoon.
Corrupt government is why there are a lot of poor people
In Nigeria, the most popular way would probably be frying, but all other ways of cooking the fish is also very common.
For the yams, I don't know who makes the best yams, but it's a very common food in the Yoruba land and Igbo land for sure, I don't know about the hausaland and other ethic groups. We boil, roast, fry, pound our yams, basically any method of preparation.
Sort of the same here. Our ancestors didn't have yams here so they substituted with sweet potatoes using the same preparation but no need to pound them because they are soften quickly.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT you don't get it the pounded yam the writer mentioned above is normally served and used as swallow 😜 the pounded yam is served in a plate and in another plate any soups of our choice
@@davecod9936 I agree but for the sake of understanding, you can substitute "swallow" with hard paste & use sauce in place of "soup".
If you go to Abuja is gives you chill vibes like going to LA /Dallas/Charlotte . Lagos is lit all around like NYC/Houston/Miami/ATL
We live in Dallas, so we'd fit right in.😅
Traditional leaders play immense importance in Nigeria & most of Africa..the governors even revere them (monarchs) but their functions are ceremonial whereas the governors are executive.
To further simplify, it's akin to what is obtainable in the U.K (though in the U.K it will seem the royal family play more importance than the PM - at least, during the queen)
Summary of Nigeria:
Diverse indigenous language and ethnic groups, but the major ones according to political zoning;
South-east,South- west, South-South and the North,then according to ethnic groups, Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba.
English is the formal means of communication, the informal means to communicate is Broken/Pigeon English (which is a combination of English and some common phrase in each indigenous language also expressions means different things according to the context it's used).
There are 36 states, but 4 major urban hubs and economic centres; Lagos stands out cz it was formerly the federal capital territory,hence the British developed it and the port is sited there hence the economic advantage,then you have Kano, Onitsha, Abuja(present federal capital territory). The relationship between the government and the traditional rulers is both political and economic (hence the influence they have), the government needs them when it comes to the election to mobilize votes for them and in communities that have natural resources the traditional rulers broker some interest there. There is poverty, despite the country being rich cz the politician take advantage of every opportunity to rip the citizens of what is due them, from the solid minerals to crude oil (which the countries majorly thrives on as opposed to agriculture and other source of the country finance before the oil was discovered.
Yams have a cultural place based on the South eastern tradition. Some states rarely generate any internal revenue and are sustained monthly from the money gotten from oil in the south-east and South-South. The south-southerns experience extreme hardship due to oil spills on their land and water polluting it, hence those in the rural area can't farm or fish,then due to the corruption and the people not getting what is due them yet it's taken from their land, there is an illegal breaking into pipes and refining it locally, hence black sooth or air pollution holds a common place. This a sketch summary; above all the people wake up every morning despite the odds against them and holding unto hope which they create a palpable existence of as all Nigerians believe there is a silver lining at the end, and they won't throw in the towel or give up till they behold it, hence the cultured resilience.
Love y'all's reactions. Much love for Naija
If u want to come to Nigeria, come to Lagos, Abuja is closer to the dry part of the country.
If wanna vist the middle belt of Nigeria Jos plateau state has the best view and landscape, lastly the best climate
Lol its so funny that yall like ABUJA too ! Its kind of suburban from the looks. Thats definitely where I want to visit. We are so American at the end of the day lol
16:22 She is correct the mandinka are in Gambia. The hausa are in Nigeria Niger and Cameron. The mandinka and the hausa are 2 different ethnic groups. They are both predominally Muslim though With a few christians. As a Nigerian 🇳🇬 myself I felt the need to chime in. Props for your investigations and videos
I’m a subscriber to your channel. Thanks for sharing great videos, my observation here is , your wife looks like Igbo part of Nigeria, your husband looks more from the southern part of Nigeria, Igbo is the Eastern part. I know some Nollywood actor that looks like him. Much love.
What is the name of the actor? Welcome to the family!
Our kings and Emir is just like the power the Queen of English has, colonialism disrupted a lot of their power but still they are very powerful kings and Emir.
I wish northern Nigeria will learn to control their population becos 60percent of poverty is from the north. Nigeria is a very unique country and very diverse
Correction: The twin capital of the world "Igbo Ora" isn't actually in the Igbo land, though somewhat similar names, it's actually in the Yoruba land and the word "Igbo" in Yoruba is pronounced and means something completely different from the Igbo ethnic group
In this case it means the Bush or forest.
@@MajorrBison Yes, and that's also where Igbo=weed, gets it's name
Lolz Abuja is definitely a lovely place to be bcos of the beautification of the state plus it's also the Federal Capital of the country....... Abuja is a warm area bcos it's part of the Northerner part of Nigeria. But Lagos Might not be the place you want to visit but it's actually more cooler that Abuja.....Most especially cooler at the Victoria Island area's of Lagos.
I think that the different monarchs talk to the Primeminister much like how the King of England and King of Spain talk to their Primeministers.
Okay, I understand now.
President not prime minister
Now this is what happens with the kings before colonization africa had chiefs and kings now when the whites came they brought their leadership and many of the african kingships were destroyed.at the time africans gained independence they continued with the white leadership of government but the kings did remain for the purposes of cultures and leadership of tribes.which is a sense of belonging
I thought someone was gonna clarify your confusion as to the existence (more appropriately 'subsistence') of monarchs when there are governors, the Senate and there's a president.
Simply put, most African countries had a political system and it was rooted in monarchy. Colonization forced the western political ideologies and systems on Africans. In Nigeria, we first used the cabinet/parliament, where we'd have a prime minister and the Queen was the head of government. At independence, we used the presidential system.
Despite this, we never forgot or reduced the respect accorded to our traditional rulers. The British understood this, and that's why they used the Indirect rule (you can read about that).
With time their influence and dominance declined and now these rulers are just ceremonial heads, while federalism is the actual political construct we have and use.
2:06 The geography now guy pronounced that igbo name Nnadi Azikiwe airport properly.props. 🇳🇬🇳🇬
Thank you for doing this reaction 🥰
You're welcome! Be sure to send in more links so we can get them in the que.
I enjoyed this alot!👍
U js gained a new subscriber l love ur channel and content
Welcome to the family!
Yes, you are right about the roles of the traditional rulers, Kings, Emirs, Chiefs etc. Because Nigeria is a multi-cultural society, with so many ethnic groups, these traditional leaders are the custodians of their local traditional, acting as a liaison between the government and their people. They also will negotiate on behalf of their people, in situations that may demand such. In some cases, the position is handed down from ruler to succeeding child, in other cases, there are a couple of families that are part of a cluster of royal families. In such a situation, the position rotates among these families.
we are the ''richest'' but not the most developed, it has the largest economy, but a ton of other African countries have a larger GDP ppp and a higher HDI, like South Africa, Seychelles, Egypt, Botswana etc. it's like India which has one of the largest gdps in the world, higher than France and Britain but the two other countries are most developed while India has the most number of people living in poverty.
Secondly, About the poverty gap in Nigeria; There are two factors that create this situation;
1. External Factors
- What a lot of people do not know about Nigeria is that Nigeria was created as a subsidiary of the Royal Niger Company, The British colonized this area, for the purpose of extracting resources and profits to the coffers of the British empire.
-The reason our independence was bloodless was because the British has successfully laid down infrastructure that allows them to continue to enjoy the benefits of a colonial master of Nigeria without the need to be physically present. Read (Neo Colonialism)
-Even till date the growth and development of African countries are closely metered by the European Union using tools like IMF (Keep them in-debt), UNICEF(Humanitarian Service on the media, Biological warfare of screen - Check south Africans infected with HIV at health centers) and In the case of France (Creating, funding and managing) terrorism in the area to ensure disability and unchallenged access to the resources in the land( Gold, Oil, Uranium Cobalt, Tin Tantalum (African Vibranium) etc.)
2. Internal Factors
- Corruption, Nigeria has been hijacked by a group of political elites, who have stolen in excess of trillions of Dollars from the state. and guess where they hide the money (European Banks) crazy right?
-Societal PTSD, The Nigerians that would have fought this corruption unfortunately witnessed the most brutal period in out history, check Nigerian Military coups, Biafran War (Civil War). After all they witnessed were afraid to fight, assassinations of leaders who spoke out on corruption was the norm, even The Late Fela was imprisoned at some point for speaking out.
The new generation, my generation never witnessed the war, so we do not have the same ailment as our parents, that's why we have the courage to fight and i swear to you Nigeria will turn around in our life time.
Sorry for the long read. cheers!
amen and it shall pass
I appreciate y'all showcasing the beauty of Nigeria 🇳🇬. Advise for your travel, I'd have recommended Lagos because its the melting pot of everything Nigeria. There you'd find the richest and the poorest...from people to properties...also you'd find diversityof cultures/food jumbled into one. That'd be my recommendation for a first visit. Anyway just my 10 cents.
Damn, Dude really tried with that video, he did good
I would say stewed or roasted fish. Alot of tilapia and catfish
Also, the monarchs are influential to their tribes and have ties/close relations/friendship to many politicians and people in government but don't hold any official power over the country and how its run.
The Traditional rulers are Essentially figure-heads. "Officially" they're unelected/permanent government employees because the state allocates some money/resources to them.
They're still Important because they're respected by the Local populace. They can't officially make or change Federal laws (They can make local laws as long as it doesn't contradict the Federal/State law) but they can still use their influence to do that. If the Monarch proposes something, the local Populace is more likely to listen and follow them compared to a regular Politician/government official.
To win an election in certain towns, The Monarch has to be on your side etc
Think of it like the Monarchy in England but on a lower level.
Lol.. cybercrime is rampant among the youths in Nigeria, sometimes even glorified by said youths, not all though. It definitely has a lot to do with rate of unemployment and failing education system in Nigeria
We have no problem with tribes. The only time tribe becomes bad is when used by politicians to decide pple but we do respect and value our tribes
Hiiii,
About the local monarchs, they're respected within the community. They don't make laws or anything but they settle disputes, create job opportunities and shake hands with state governors. They can endorse politicians and influence elections.
The kings and ethnic leaders have always been the original leaders of the land before colonisation. Colonisation was the westernisation of most parts and the government was formed after amalgamation. The government makes and enforce policies and laws but the ethnic leaders are respected by the people
YOU GUYS SHOULD WATCH DOCUMENTARY OF NIGERIA CIVIL WAR. AND WHERE NIGERIA OIL IS AND WHO HAS BEEN RULING NIGERIA.
Knots came from Guinea. The Mandingo tribe is in think four country. Guinea, Ivory Coast, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Lemme subscribe y’all. You great at what you do. 6 plates of fufu and egusi soup waiting for you in nigeria. I’ll also add to chilled coke from heaven’s fridge.
Thank you! You're so kind!🥰
Don't worry guys it will always be hot for u guys no matter where even the tropical region except for Jos where there was snow one certain time
The reason y nigeria as large poverty it's because of the government,the country it's been managed by bad government.
That's gonna change soon🤞
@@Boti_Dimi yes we are taking our country back in 2023
Nigeria as a country is not poor Nigeria is the richest country in Africa
You cannot just blame the government as the sole reason for the problems of a nation. We have the civil servants which are part of us, the people. Then you have the irresponsibility of the people who complain about everything while breaking laws without a second thought. Driving against traffic is normal, and throwing dirt on the streets also is normal to many. I can speak on electricity theft and fuel subsidy which does not make any sense. I can also go into population where some believe that it is good to give birth to between 5-10 children causing a population explosion which is a large strain on the per capita GDP. Unless these issues are tackled, no great government can make a dent in the issues facing Nigeria.then there is religion and tribal issues too. Language is a very big issue we all like to fool ourselves is not a thing. A yoruba man is angry if a Hausa is president. Everything he does would never be appreciated. A Nigerian would rather have a useless president from his tribe rather than a sensible president from another tribe.
@@ngoziikemefuna500 True talk bro
As a Nigerian, i still say this; having the largest economy(2nd largest now, very recently overtook by Egypt on both GDP scales), doesn't mean sh*t when the economy is barely playing catch-up to the population; it's the reason why looking at just the economy paints a very distorted picture...
It's like saying Nigeria has a larger economy than Norway, at $1.3 trillion, and $452 billion respectively; but then you realise that Nigeria has approx. 220 million mouths to feed with that economy, which puts it at a per capita of approx. $6000; and Norway only has approx. 5 million mouths to feed with their economy, which puts it at a per capita of approx. $82000... Norway will obviously have a way more modern standard of living, and better too in terms of many stuffs, like having more economical leeway to make sure that every sector of the country works excellently well for its 5 million people, and that it's 5 million people lives comfortably relatively speaking.
After all that, you then realise that "largest economy" doesn't mean anything when the entire reason for the economy being that large in the 1st place was just more people putting their hands on the economy, and the economy just had to play catch-up.
Nigeria currently has the 2nd largest economy in Africa, but there are some African Nations whose economy can better take care of their population than Nigeria's can; so i don't consider that large economy nonsense as anything.
No matter where you are heading to in Nigeria DRESS LIGHT
Africa is first kingdoms before. Government took over kingdom but kings is are still close to their people even if we heve reginal leaders too people trust their king than politicians some still have power but not in all Africa.
Hi The Demouchets,
I heard you mention that Abuja is where you're going to visit if Nigeria is the country you'll be visiting in Africa. May I suggest Lagos as well. I know you seen a video of Lagos and how it looks like, but I tell you what, the Victoria Island in Lagos is a place you'll want to be if you decide to visit Nigeria, trust me.
Abuja is 🔥, I will advice you stay in the southern part of Nigeria, there there's a lot if rainfall. You can just remain in Lagos or you can visit port harcut
The the mandika are part of the housa Fulani who live in several African countries they're one of the biggest African ethnic groups
The climate is humid but beautiful. Check the weather forecast before coming. It can change at any moment.
We called our Kings, Royal Fathers they play advisory role in government and communities
You don't use fufu to make meatpies or puff puff, you use flour could be wheat flour or cassava flour or even corn flour if you please
Fufu is not garri
Garri is different and can be eaten like cereal with cold milk and groundnuts (or peanuts like Americans call it)
Or made with hot water (eba)
But fufu is not garri
They are different even though the both come from cassava.
When i lived in Lagos the population then was 13.8million, wow we are now at 21million? Lagos must be busting at the seams
There's a part 2 of this video that corrections were made you guys should go check ✔ that out too
If you're coming to Nigeria pls come to the south they are also many beautiful places here
Guys are you going to do ancestry test to know where were your ancestors from? There are many tests and thats not that expensive. Its like 99$ for each person as i remember.
Still researching. 😊
Easily Africa's greatest and most influential country, destined to be the first black superpower of the modern era. It is projected that Nigeria will be the 3rd most populous nation on Earth after China and India by 2050. This will make her a magnet for investment from companies all over the world. The future is bright for this African giant.
See a King as the Chef of a town (county) - In the Us these King of Chicago would be the Mayor of Chicago (and as the Mayor is less powerfull as the president in the USA the King of the City is less powerfull as the President of Nigeria.
The only difference is that the Mayor in the US is elected and replaced after some years with a new elected one while a King is the "Mayor" by blood/family and maybe sometimes by election and is Mayor until death.
We pound yam, we fry yam, we boil and eat with eggs, we cook yam as porridge, we smoke yam.✌️
Lol heads up! Ain't nothing humid about Abuja. It is dry and airy. If you want humid you have to come up Southe or go West or East
Cool to see this video
You know due to cultural diversity,the traditional leaders are the components making up the heirarchy of power in the political system. So they serve as the connection between their people and the state government, therefore they are entrusted with the care and rulership of the people in accordance with the national law and democratic priority.
The cultural leaders are the Kings and Emirs. They are meant to be the voices of the people. In most cases you cannot have access a tribes or communities or villages without the approval of the kings and figure heads. The government reigns over the kings and Emirs, however they cannot do without them. Think about it like Government is economic and bureaucratic (overall leader) and the kings are for the people and for the culture. I most rural parts of the country, kings and figure heads are even more important to the people than the government.
The town is called BORNO not Porno. It’s actually a state
The information is dated because the Lagos-Kano Railway line is not the only functioning railway line. As a matter of fact, it's the oldest and perhaps that's why the information is so out there. However, it's an old line, so it is a narrow-gauge line - the older railway standard. In the last couple of years or so, Nigeria has built and began to run three other railway routes; Lagos-Ibadan, Warri-Itakpe and Abuja-Kaduna railway lines. All of these three newer lines are Standard-gauge lines, a newer railway standard. These three newer lines are the only ones that are fully air-conditioned.
The wealth is only in the hands of few but we’re resilient and innovative. We don’t depend on the government for anything. We create our on jobs and infrastructure like housing, water
The Mandinka is a nomadic tribe similar to the Fulani spread across west Africa.
If you're going to Nigeria, go to delta state Asaba
Because Nigerian still hold their cultures and values dear, which also includes respect and regards to the monarchy. this gives the monarchy a high influence in the community and among its tribes. therefore, the presidential or state goverment might still need the influence of these monarchs in getting somethings done peacefully in each region being headed by the monarchs. they do not hold any political power, but they are highly influencial and hold a certain amount of customary power, if i may put it that way.

Yeah.. Ghana is our annoying brother, emphasis on annoying 😅😁
😂😂 I can understand this. Everything I say Ghana, I say it how Wode Maya says it. Ghana baby!
People won't understand what some of us Nigerians who are open-minded are going through in the hands of some of our own people and our leaders especially from 2015 when the late buhari took over power. And no Africa country sympathized with us rather they're trying to make sure pull us down by either insulting us or saying malicious things about us. But when any African country have problem, nigeria goes the extra mile to help. South africa, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana and more have benefited from us one way or the other. In fact, most people don't know that it's a law that "Africa is the centre piece of nigeria policy". And one more thing, Nigerians are very poor but it's mostly the northern part of nigeria. The same northern part of nigeria who played and are playing a major role in the challenges we are facing
@TheDemouchets .. CORRUPTIONS IS OUR GREASTEST PROBLEM ..
Before the invasion of the Europeans, there were empires spanning the whole area of west Africa, so you will find several trides in several countries, because they are actually one people but divided by the Europeans
Kings are head of ethnic groups and former kingdoms. They are just ceremonial just like the monarchy of England
According Nigeria constitution, Government have more power than kings. A governor of a state have power to remove king within that state and also have power to appoint king if he choose to. King normally rule over their community (traditionally) within each state. Before Nigeria got their independence from British in 1960, kings used to have absolute power within each tribe but British took most of the power from them and gave them to government to over rule them.
4:27 She is a 100% right you are supposed to say ethnic groups not tribes.❤️❤️👍🏾👍🏾⚡️⚡️
The Mandika are not found in Nigeria but Gambia, Senegal and others west African countries
Kunta Kinte was born in The Gambia.
Most kings(traditional heads/rulers) have some influence at the grassroot level. Colonialism/military dictatoships stripped them of most of their powers so they are mostly ceremonial(regional?)/figure heads.
