As a beninese I love how you represented my country!! Everything was spot on👍🏾👍🏾. All your videos about Benin are just amazing!!
What a beautiful country. You've got the secret sauce.
Safe for the payment for services in foreign currency I guess! What happened to your local currency?
Rubbish
How can one have ur residents
Why doesn't Tayo have a million plus subscribers already? He never disappoints.
I agree❤️
You're saying the fact!
Lovely th-cam.com/video/AsPKU9BMgLs/w-d-xo.html
He will get there. Slow and steady. 😁
Share his channel...I got here though a friend. Tayo is doing great with this ...I am amazed with his sharing..
Tayo u are absolutely brilliant.
I mean I know that every African country possesses an enormous potential, but trust me this is over the roof. Kudos to Benin from 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Everything you said about Benin is absolutely true. It's truly a place of peace. There's constant light, my goshhhh. The road so clean and free, no traffic 😂😂. I love the country. The beach, clean and so serene. The most amazing thing is you can go out by 2am freely, without having to worry about arm robbers
Please I want to know if business Flourish over there. Was told it's not a business center like Nigeria, please I need ur honest opinion
@@chiomzeejayclothings it's depends of the kinda business you gonna undertake over there.
Tbh...i was born and brought up in lagos, Nigeria...I will relocate soon when I'm independent...its beautiful and clean.
Its my father's land I have been there twice tho. When I was little and secondly when I Lost my dad....I miss him tho but I hope to revive his legacy 🥰❤
Benin Republic is a small country on another level, a 3 hours drive from Lagos.. It is the definition of peace and tranquility. I love the old architectural designs, though the city doesn't really speak luxury but you can see that they pay attention to details. The country is clean and driving in this country is too sane that I was almost getting uncomfortable LOL. I have visited the country 3 times this year. Once I can't hold the Naija stress, I just take the 3 hours drive to cool my mind. I did some reviews of lovely places to visit there. You can check it out. . LOL But all in all. Well done Tayo you are doing a nice job. I can confidently say nobody does it better
nice video...question... how many Benin's are there.... as the world map shows Benin, Benin city and this video is about Benin republic ... sorry if im sounding ignorant
@@Cleo1John It's ok to ask questions. Please feel free to ask there is Benin City in Nigeria. Benin City is the capital of Edo. Its made of up of a tribe with rich culture and people. Benin Republic on the other hand is a country. It is Nigeria's closest neighbor to Nigeria. It shares a border with Nigeria in Lagos. I made several videos on my last visit to benin Republic. Kindly subscribe I will be uploading more
@@Cleo1John Leke above has explained accurately. In addition, there are two Benins. One to the geographical left of the Yorubas in Nigeria and one to the right of the Yorubas, within Nigeria. The geographical coastal left of the Yorubas, the Yoruba coast itself, and the geographical coastal right of the Yorubas were, by Europeans, termed collectively, the Bight of Benin. On the left is now a country Benin Republic, named after that Bight supposedly, in the center are the Nigerian Yorubas, and on the right is the historical Benin empire, afterwhich the entire bight was named. Hope that helps.
How do you cross the border without harrassment??
@@ijeoo1 once you understand the modus operandi, it's easy. Always ensure you have all your documents. I always travel light that way it's easy for them to search my bag. And I handle the stamping myself. Within 10 minutes I'm done. While other times, I get the service of an experienced driver who drives me all the way to Cotonou from Lagos. He understands the road.
When you are from BENIN REPUBLIC 🇧🇯 like i am
You feel so glad and amazed to see people show our beautiful country.
When i get abroad i usually present BENIN REPUBLIC through NIGERIA 😅 by saying do you know Nigeria? When the Guy say yes i say, voilà we are there best neighborhood ,the small country in the west of Nigeria. 😅😂😅😂
Ah the way i'm happy to see this video and i look foward in next years coming we do better than that and get ahead and being knowing from the world 🤩🤩
Nice vide tayo keep on going you get a new follower ❤️💯
I’m happy the video resonates with you! 👊🏽
😂😂😂😂 Hello neighbor!
@@redbunnyclassic hi from your brother neighbor. 😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😂🤣😂
Same! I always refer to Nigeria and tell people that I'm from the small neighbor in the West 😄
One of these days i so plan to visit benin republic
Benin is beautiful! I am so glad that you guys are taking the time to travel around Africa to show the world a part of the continent that is hidden by the western media. While watching this video, I couldn't stop thinking about the millions of people in America and the Caribbean who were taken away from Benin. It's hard to imagine that some of my ancestors once lived on that land. During Oyo Empire many Yorubas migrated to Benin. Haiti also has a very strong link with Benin.
Beautifully stated, Hortense 🖤
Yoruba and beninese are the same people !
No Benin kingdom is different from Benin republic
Benin kingdom is a state in Nigeria while Benin republic is a country in West Africa.
When the young lady spoke about voodoo and when Tayo went to the python temple I immediately thought of the similarities to Haiti. Thanks for confirming that for me.
I'm a Ghanaian that was born in Benin and schooled there at the famous Ekinous Bilingual Schools (which I'd like you to visit when next you go there...) and I was always travelling to Nigeria and I even stayed in Aja Illaje(Ikota) for some months. I stayed in Togo for some months too and now I'm back to my country Ghana ❤... My point is: we are distinguished by our various nationalities, languages, but the culture and our way of life is very similar... I wish you could visit the main capital of Benin which is Porto-Novo... You'll know that you're in a different country because of the serenity and fast movement of the traffic, but you'll still think you're in Nigeria because you'll meet one Yoruba person every 10 metres you walk... Nice video though ⚡... Too bad I saw it today 😢
I am a Kenyan living in Benin 🇧🇯 . You hit all the points about Benin! I am now subscribed! Great job 👏🏽
Wow.. this is awesome
Anyone wanting to meet me in Benin inbox
Karibu sana dada. Hope you're enjoying the zemidjan 😆🇧🇯🇧🇯
How did you end up there? Just curious
@@gildashounmanou4301 asante sana!!! 😃
Our continent AFRICA is beautiful. Nuestro continente ÁFRICA es hermoso. From Equatorial Guinea 🇬🇶🇬🇶🇬🇶🇬🇶🇬🇶
Africa is beautiful.
Hola.
Tell him to visit Equatorial Guinea
Sí, hermano mío, África es la madre naturaleza, la cuna de la humanidad. Desde Nigeria a Guinea Ecuatorial con mucho amor. Africa unite!
@@lagosian123 Así es.
Back in the 1970s we would drive from Ikoyi ( Lagos ) to Cotonou.
It took over 3 hours after dealing with Awolwo Road , Broad Street Go Slow.
Cotonou was a quaint little town then.
Watching this video, it is very heartening and encouraging to see Cotonou grow into a City, but , seemingly, in a planned systematic way.
Thank you for your Travel videos Oga .
My late mom is from Benin(Dahomey), from the Ametornu family. She got married to my dad (a Ghanaian). She died about 10 years ago and the last time I went there(Benin) with my mom and dad is in the 90s.
Someone should help me locate and get in touch with my mom's family in Benin. Her surname is AMETORNU.
Hey what's up?
@officialeli527 have you met them?
I believe I can help
I am simple. I see Tayo, I click. Ads come up, I watch. (even though TH-cam is trying it with them double ads). Keep up the great work bro, personally proud of you.
Chop Knuckle 👊🏽 ! Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
Lol, have you seen those 45 minutes ads, TH-cam is definitely trying it with those ones but I am game with the 30 secs ads.
I love the idea of you doing the narration instead of a voice-over. Because of all you have shared, I will definitely visit the Benin Republic. Thanks a million, bro.
Thanks bro! Appreciated
Honestly I will visit too, its a must visit, thankfully it's a neighbour country with Nigeria.
@bigwillz, don't bother. I will take you there if you wish. Hailing bro. Enjoying your videos as well. You guys are making us proud. We can now show our white ignorant friends the best is still in Africa.
@@miltonsworld4818 That will be super cool bro.
@@toheebadeshina2740 Tayo has shown us, it will be nice to go spend sometime there.
I'm a Ghanaian in Benin currently because of school. Everything he is saying is SO TRUE. It's an expensive a little and a beautiful clean country 😌😌😌
Bénin is like a second home to me and I really can’t wait to go visiting again. I lived there for a good amount of years and it feels like I left a piece of my soul there that keeps calling me to come back. Watching this video made me very nostalgic really. Le Bénin aura toujours une place spéciale dans mon cœur❤❤❤
I was in Benin Republic in Cotonou in the early 90s from Lagos on a working visits and again in 2002-03 from UK where I have been sojourned for nearly three decades. I am thinking of retiring now and Lagos has recently been unattractive due to the current socio-economic & political intrigues. I have been thinking of Cotonou, a quiet, clean and peaceful location very close to Lagos outside Nigeria to invest in a very decent property in a top notch area and have my peace of mind. Fly into Lagos once in a while to attend events and family. I then saw this video that confirms my thought process. Thank you Tayo.
Not compulsory you stay in Lagos in Nigeria, you can try some other States like Ondo state. You will love the serene
Same thoughts I have. Whenever I make money ,I will buy land by the beach and stay forever. Benin republic is a good place. Peace of mind and tranquility
@Ayomide Ahmed, I know all the Western States like the back of my hand including Ondo state where my late mother hails from. When you get to the stage in life that I am at the moment where I can see 60 around the corner, jumping into a car 🚗 to attend to business or function in Lagos after experiencing transportation in Europe for over three decades is unappealing. For me Abeokuta is next location. If there was a fast, safe modern train link to Ibadan perhaps but ideally what is needed is a circular, regularly train that goes from Lagos to Ikorodu to Sagamu to Abeokuta back to Lagos. That will probably decongest Lagos. Irrespective of whatever is on the ground, for me safety & power (electricity) comes first and I am not convinced we have that yet in the South West.
I visited Benin Republic when my sisters went as French students on an excursion. It's a pretty nice country, no traffic or the vibe of a bustling city when compared to Lagos. Francophone countries differ in sights, sounds and taste (cuisine) from their Anglophone counterparts. Na road I use o, and yes even back there na so so stop we were stopping on the road. Cest tres bon 💖
"Francophone countries differ in sights, sounds and taste (cuisine) from their Anglophone counterpart"
like what?
Nah nvr see anything, our president is also building and improving infrastructures daily.
Am in Benin republic .... Inbox md
Thank you for your appreciation
That's probably long time ago. Right now, we have traffic almost everywhere in the two mains city which are Abomey-calavi and Cotonou. But they have nothing to compare to the lagos one I bet...
I lived in Benin for 3 good years and the good news is I met my husband in Cotonou as well. Benennoise are very hospitable and peaceful. There are loads of affordable hotels if you know your way around a place called John K. As you earlier said about the boarder, Nigerians part of the boarder is an eye sore. You will even see out uniform men physically fighting each other and drunk at the boarder. It’s a shame that nothing has changed since the 80s that I was there.
In Benin , there are designated sweeping machines that cleans up the roads at night , so when you wake up it’s clean and smells fresh 🤩
I lived in Bénin republic for 12 years, i basically spent all my teenage years there. It's a beautiful place, very quiet even Nigeria has a very big influence on them
Influence ?
@@tanishanightingale yep
Influence as in how? 😠
Pls how much is naira to Cfa
Eg 1000 naira
Also is there a way I can change cash there to naira
@@franklinezeogwu3220 It's been 3 years since I left there but 1k naira should be about 1200 or less. The naira doesn't have much value anymore. Yes you can change at the border just be very careful
Countries in Africa got a lot of potential but they don’t promote their tourism or show it to the world and I think they can learn from countries like Ghana, Kenya, Rewanda. Tanzania
Today is my Benin independence and watching this I'm just "awwww" . My hometown is beautiful... Happy Independence 🇧🇴
We've been traveling to Benin Republic for years now. Come check out the Voodoo Festival on Jan 10th in Ouidah. We would love to have you.
I left Ouidah just yesterday, I visit Voodoo, Village and Casa del papa hotel and Resorts just like Aloha hotel in Nigeria
@@HistoryDataStatsComparisons thanks for sharing I would like to travel over there
Definitely considering this! Does it happen every year?
Could you be my tour Guide when I come into Benin Republic?
@@Lunadish hello, yes it is a national holiday since the 90'. If interested, I can propose few travel operator.
I'm from Senegal and I have lots of friends from there. I'd like to visit one day hopefully !
His speaking the truth I'm Nigerian living here in Benin Republic for the past 4years thank you for the video
I failed to mention. I have been to Cotonou, Benin 🇧🇯. Beautiful place, loving and welcoming people. I didn't speak French but we manage to get along. I had a great time.
Nice vlog. I've visited the country before and will be spending my Xmas break there this year. It's when you visit places like Benin Republic that you wonder we Nigerians call Nigeria the "giant of Africa". Nigeria and Nigerians have a lot to learn from other African countries on the qualities of life and living.
Wow, this is a COMPLETE GUIDE TO TRAVELLING TO BENIN REPUBLIC. I love the way you take us through your experience starting from why you travel to Benin. I remember you responded to one of my comments that it's not that easy travelling within West African countries. I now see what you meant. I am surprised at the number of checkpoints you mentioned. Based on what you said, it seems to me that the checkpoints are majorly Nigeria checkpoints. I do hope something can be done about these checkpoints so that travellers and tourists will not be discouraged. Well done, Tayo. Amazing information here. You are really a TOURISM AMBASSADOR for AFRICA.
Thank you. I’m glad you learnt something & enjoyed the video!
You just got your channel a new subscriber simply because of the channels name. Though I don't know what your channel is all about. Anyway keep it up cause I like supporting Black 🖤.
@@touretv2G thanks bro, much appreciated.
Bénin! That's my country. My sweet and humble country.God give us peace of mind.we are not poor and we are not too rich eather.I love my country
Waw you are in a very nice place hope I will visit one day I am from India
Nice video Guy.. The little thing you missed to mention is that, in the north of Benin there is a big park called PENDJARI NATIONAL PARK, which offers safari with Lion, Elephant, hippos and so on.. If not big job Guy, I'm so proud of this! Africa is the Future ♥️🇧🇯
We also have the W park in the north east, shared with Burkina and Niger
Tayo, can't wait for you to cover Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia... As a Nigerian resident in the UK for over 20 years, I've had enough of travelling to European or American destinations... Its time to see our motherland properly. Am especially interested in these three countries because I've met several of their citizens and they seem to be nice people. 🙌🙌
You are welcome to visit the Pearl of Africa(Uganda)and my country Tanzania.Both countries are great n u will like it thr❤
Was waiting for you to mention the Yoruba part. And you finally did! 😃 At least that will be helpful for those of us who don't speak French to be able to communicate in Yoruba. Meanwhile, I love the point you made about many beautiful parts in Africa not being built for Africans but for foreigners. So true but so sad! Thanks for a really great and informative video Tayo
Thanks for watching bro 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
The igbo part nkor
Benin is a beautiful country however the problem is it easily gets overshadowed by Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal & Ivory Coast. One suggesting is, Nigerians show your brothers & sisters next door more attention and patronize their country.
Yourbuas and Baribas, take note
A lot of imported Cars come into Nigeria from Benin ports though deemed illegal, this can be regulated to help both countries, Because it is cheaper. But Nigeria would rather be a bigger asshole than support her sister. But i agree their bigger neighbors should do better in patronizing them
You see those 4 countries you mentioned, they run West Africa 🤓👍
@@albertchuks3115 It is the northern administaration that tries to stifle trade on the western border
@@albertchuks3115 the tribe of the President is very important to consider when the Nigerian government does things. We in the South love to trade and travel and have fun and sample cultures. The northerners in power now are paranoid and backward and don't care about any of these things.
Thank you for this video! I'm brazilian and going to Benin next year. There's not much info. I'd go anyway, cause I'm a backpacker, and that's how I travel. But the information you brought is very interesting.
God bless you Tayo.
I as Nigerian i am happy that you went to Benin Republic by showing this country to everyone especially Nigeria government.
Benin Republic is not as rich as Nigeria and yes everything were in order.
Stable electricity lights.
The cities are very clean.
Permanent security to life and property.
No constant police check point etc.
Our Nigeria government especially our governor's need to be ashamed.
If neighboring countries can be as peaceful like this,why can't our government humble themselves and learn how to make Nigeria peaceful and prosperous for there citizens to live inn.
I have been there and to other Africa countries before so l knew what i'm saying.
Once again God bless you.
✨✨🇧🇯♥️🇳🇬
Tayo, I was wonderfully surprised to see your vlog on Benin and all Beninese by my voice thank you for this magnificent lighting and for this captivating professionalism. I had subscribed to your channel for a while to discover Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬 more but this makes me particularly warm in my heart.
Our most fraternal greetings from Cotonou🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇧🇯🇧🇯🇧🇯🇧🇯🇧🇯
The economic situation in this continent makes it difficult for us to even experience our own lands. It's really sad
Like Tayo said, we are the ones holding ourselves back…Why are hotels in Africa priced in dollars and euros?
@@proudlyafrican6240 you're right, but notwithstanding the people could still never afford these resorts if they were charged in the local currencies. The level of poverty is too high and dismal
So true
Thanks for representing my country so beautifully 🇧🇯❤️ you capture the beauty so well in your videos
Hey man, i wanna say that i am watching your videos from The Netherlands! You’re gonna be a big youtuber, you deserve more subscribers!
I was a French student many years ago and did my year abroad in Lome Togo. Of course we had to pass through seme border and across Benin to get to Lome. It's definitely a beautiful and peaceful country. I went into the town a few times. Same with Togo, clean and peaceful. It was like living in the western world. I didn't want to come back to Nigeria. I had one of the best 2yrs of my life in Togo! I pray I get to go back again someday. Great video as usual! It's funny how the naira has become weak next to the CFA.. and the Ghana cedis. It used to be the other way round.
The CFA is the EURO currency so that's why
May God bless you for this promotion that you are doing in the Latin country. May He also bless you for your promotion of Beninese culture through its culinary art and local social life. proud to be beninese and Yoruba. We are same 🇧🇯&🇳🇬 ❤️
My first time to visit your channel...brother I can tell you this..its amazing video 👏. Very informative, clear, and delighted, I loved the fact that you showed all aspects of life styles in Benin.
Your new fan Sally from the 🇺🇸. I wish you all success in life. God bless you and bless Africa and its people 🙏
What a nice episode!
I lived two years in Cotonou when I was a kid, more than thirty years ago.
As it happens, just a stones throw from the real estate tour! Its a big continent, but a small world.
I think it is cleaner now than it was back then. But the beach haven't changed at all. Always perfect.
I love Bernie Republic, its really beautiful, we ought to explore our Africa, thank you my brother for what you are doing for Africa.
Love your Place
Deep Words: It’s like they are not build for Africans to Experience
It need to be put to consideration thank you Tayo 😊
Love ❤️ and Respect ✊🏿 from Haiti 🇭🇹
Wow, you are a great storyteller. Benin is sooo beautiful. This video makes Benin look like the most beautiful country in West Africa. I'm so impressed. Love from Tanzania 😘😘😘😘😘
I absolutely love Benin Republic! The food! OMG! Ok let me watch your video! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Yayyyyy!!!
Loved this Video, well done to African youtubers, you are the spear tip to getting our continental tourism industry to flourish, African governments have ignored Domestic tourism for various reasons, but it is no longer acceptable, African tourism is the way forward to create African unity and job security. It will expand economic activity within our own control and eventually force our governments to better manage.
I am looking forward for the days when young and old African tourists can move around Africa in large numbers, that will bring costs down.and efficiency will have to go up. All those impediments like excessive road blocks, and high transport and accommodation charges will be gone.we will spend our money in the continent supporting each other.
You hit the nail on the head!
Spot on!
This is quite an experience to share. I hope those who are governing Nigeria can watch and make our journeys to Benin stress free.
France still has a big influence on them oo!
My boyfriend is from Benin . According to what he says and what u have said makes me like the country more and I can't wait to travel to his country .❤️❤️
I visited Benin five years ago when my cousin was studying in Cotonou. Loved it, very peaceful. We traveled by road from Lagos and the customs officers really tried me, but once we got through it was a great time. The more local hotels (the kind you won't find online) were much more reasonable.
great video!! thank you for highlighting our country! we loooove Benin. it's a true hidden paradise 🇧🇯
Hello bro! I have seen your channel. It is amazing. I am also from Benin republic and living. We should link up if possible ☺️
Waw Love your country From India
I ran to this video when I saw "Benin Republic" my Motherland. I love everything about this ur video. U have gained my subscription. Thank you bro ❤️
I studied in the republic of Benin 🇧🇯
It's a very interesting society, with a clean environment and many of them speak Yoruba which made communication easy for me there.
Because my French language skill was horrible 😂
Benin republic is like Nigeria's baby brother or cultural lovers.
They love each other 😁
Although it used to be an affordable place to live I understand the global economic turmoil that has affected every country on earth.
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip there.
Ouidah is more like Orogun in Delta state Nigeria where they worship Iguana
I'm sold on traveling to this place.
The fact that I school here and I haven’t even gone beyond Cotonou is depressing… thanks Tayo for showing more of Benin Republic
Hey amazing video i am an indian living in the country from past 1 year i loved the country met lots of kind hearted amazing people love benin
Well done Tayo.... Even as a Nigerian living and working in Bénin République, i know Benin is beautiful but the way you portrayed it makes it better..... Kudos... All points are 100% right.....
Omg!!! I see my house in your video. My fiance and i moved here in 2019 and we have loved it ever since.
Oh yes im so happy we came here for that visit and fell in Love with this country ever since ❤
The vlog and everything inbetween was very exciting to watch.
Light and love from South Africa.
Tayo well done for sharing this amazing tour of Benin 🇧🇯. I like the way you talked about our shared cultures and how you did not frown upon their local beliefs. Something we (All Africans) need to appreciate. Our differences is what connects us. Well done brother. Keep up the good work 👏
I just love how you're promoting Africa. Many thanks from Uganda. I'm subscribed now.
Great editing per usual brother!
Sierra Leone awaits your arrival!
Yes oh 🇸🇱
Merci beaucoup! This was so inspiring. You definitely have to travel to more francophone countries, we have so many things to show. Now next step Senegal ! 🇸🇳 😌💪🏾
I have visited Benin once..you didn't mention they also have Light!! A nice destination..I hope to visit again soon
I have spent four years in this country and I must confess, the country is really peaceful and clean
Aswear, same here….
After my education in Bénin Republic. I just love going back to the place relax and clear of the stress of 9ja off my head.
I so much enjoy the country.
I keep telling people around me what I love Bénin for is just the peace and light. Let’s forget it’s a small country. Abeg which state in Nigeria is more peaceful…. Please mention oooh ?
@Tayo that's exactly the same laws we have in Idemmili local government in Anambra state. We don't kill pythons, if you do you must have a funeral ceremony for it , just like you would a human being, or be expelled from the town. Python is a diety in Idemmili and there're python shrines you can visit there.
Wow, I never knew. I really need to come explore your state!
@@TayoAinaFilms I'll DM you on twitter now.
Christianity has messed up that culture. I am from Idemili, we don't kill python, but people from Ebonyi and Enugu living in my town kill and eat them, even when we find out, we only reprimand them, nobody enforces that tradition gain. Everyone forms spirit filled Christian
I'm from imo state and my grandmother's maternal home called Umuagwó, they do not kill Pythons too. A serious crime and these snakes do not harm people but trust the messing of our psyche about snakes and how "evil" they are.
I need the hook up brother. Wanna start traveling to Motherland and know my continent.
Mister jaay u here
Thank you so much my brother. I am from Benin Republic, but I left Benin since 1996 and never saw all those beautiful places because. It gives me nostalgia. Once again I thank you for sharing this with me and the whole world. May God bless you and keep you in his Love. Amazing!
My grandfather was from Benin so I'm very interested in this!
I schooled in Badagry and had classmates who came from there, their humility is nothing to be compared with. People from there are always very kind and receptive to strangers they even provide with you with a translator/guide
You were right about the neatness and they love night hangouts ehn!!!!
A Gem hardly spoken of ... Thanks for documenting this Tayo. It's always a pleasure watching you ... When I grow up, I wanna be like you ... 😃
great video!!! love this sort of content
Thank you Tayo for promoting my country. It is my hope that the government will take into account your suggestions/cons to improve and reform the tourism sector.
Thank you so much for all the comments and I am very glad that you liked your experience in my beautiful country the same way I enjoyed living in yours ( ABUJA ) for almost 5 years . Africa is a beautiful place and our countries are too
Hey Tayo, I am currently in Benin from the USA
Ok I'm a Ghanaian I love Benin , give me your number
Hello... I am from Benin and I live in Cotonou... I have seen your channel. I would like to link up with you if possible. Thanks
Never been to Benin republic but this journey really brought back memories of my amible french teacher from my sec school FGGC 101. He came to Nigeria all the way from Benin republic. We call him "computer" can't recall his real name.( because of how enthusiastic/zealous he was in teaching french and marking our script. NB french is always the first script we receive after examination). That sparked my interest in learning french but dropped halfway when he left..will be happy if I could visit the country one day and probably meet him. Be sure to add that citizens of Benin republic are very receptive/accomodative as he demonstrated that throughout his stay....
Great video, quite an eye opener. Well done!
Tayo, am very impressed with Benin. It's a very clean country compared to most West African countries. I love your style of exposing these hidden gems. Am very sure you'll be soon known as one of the best youtubers , period.
I loved this video so much! B.R looks so beautiful & clean. I can tell that they are very rich in culture too. I was surprised to hear about Euros… 🤔
Thanks so much for presenting my country to the world, I will definitely subscribe to ur channel
Love your content Tayo. Thanks man.
I Love Benin and i'm going to visit porto novo before the end of the year
Very informative video. Good job Tayo
Thank you 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Salute Fam, great work as usual!!
Thanks for showing my country to the world. I really appreciate your great work.
Merci beaucoup ❤️🙏🏽🇧🇯
I have always heard my Haitians say "Ogun Badagry." It's interesting that you talked about Badagry and its a place. I think Ogun, which the Haitians call the god of steel is also a state in Nigeria.
Yes it is and ogun is also a god of iron or steel in yoruba culture
Yes
Ogun is also god of iron and steel in the yoruba cult
@@Eva-wv9ub Thank you, I believe Haiti has the largest population of Yoruba descent outside of the continent of Africa. The people of the north are of pure Yoruba blood.
@@Immigrationking7609 no, that would be Brazil ie largest group of Yoruba outside Nigeria
This bring backs memories , it’s been 7 years I visited .
Really hope to visit again
Go Tayo! Awesome content.
Thank you for your efforts in analysing different countries and cultures - from London
I enjoyed every bit of this video. Entertaining and educational as usual. Benin seems like a beautiful country to visit
Bénin is a peaceful country.
Thank you for video!
You've been exposed to just a part of the beauty of Benin Republic. Still, your video captures some of the cool features about our beautiful country. I'm proud to be from here. We're so excited about the development efforts underway. Come and visit Benin, Come and invest with us. Peace !!✌🏼❤️

Sister you better visit my beautiful country Togo 🇹🇬 to experience "WOEZOR" Welcome, the humility and hospitality of Togolese. I am an EWE, and "ewegbe" language is mostly spoken in the southern part as well as the Volta Region of Ghana 🇬🇭 because the Ewes lives in Ghana, Togo, Benin and Lagos Nigeria
