    My mum was born in Northern Nigeria. She and my grandparents had to flee to Southern Nigeria because The Fulani’s and Hausas were killing a lot of Igbo’s. This was in the period leading up to the Biafra War. My grandfather who is ethnically Hausa knew his wife and daughter wasn’t safe in the north no longer so he left behind all he knew and set up a new life in Enugu. He lived there until his passing in 92.

    My father is Nigerian and I've been to Lagos, Iragberi (where he is now the King), and Ibadan. It is so sad that in a country with so much beauty and wealth there is so much suffering. It's so underdeveloped for what it could potentially be. It's still beautiful and the people are some of the kindest, most beautiful, and welcoming I've ever met. I've said for years that Africa should in all actuality be the strongest super power on Earth. Everything you can imagine is there on that continent. Most abundant in wildlife and natural resources. If the countries on the continent could unite, they'd be unstoppable. Nigeria has been at war with itself for so long. The mega rich and the dirt poor. Over two hundred languages in one country , why? Still has the potential to become better and I believe one day it will.

    Nick your filmmaking skills improve with every series. The Venezuela, Libya, Pakistan, Brazil and Nigeria series stick out brother. I think that you are connecting more to your creative nature with every video and you have a well laid plan of what you want to capture. And the unexpected elements that add to the story of travel documentaries are portrayed so well here. One thing I get from your films is that everyone is struggling and everyone has a story to tell. Additionally it reminds me of the 16 countries I’ve travelled to and so many people just want peace and lead a serene life in this rough world. The media separates and mixes up stories to bemuse people and keeping us fussing and fighting. Thank you for your films. They are truly an art and we are privileged to view a snippet of what our fellow brothers and sisters in their respective countries endure. Bro, you have one of the most unique travel vlogs.
