I am from the United States and will be visiting Akwa Ibom in a few weeks as a tourist. I am excited about the resort because I love golf. I play all the time. I hope to have a great time and meet some wonderful people. My ancestors are from Africa and I can not wait to visit the motherland where my ancestors once resided.
You're welcome ♥️🇳🇬
U are welcome please enjoy ur stay
@@africafullfacts7878 thank you
@@okonyiaritchie7563 thank you
Let’s us know how it goes
Nigerians need to stay In Nigeria and make it up..Nigeria has so much potential man
Yes I am with you on that.
Give us, Power, Good Roads and Security. We can handle the rest.
Nigerians are enterprising people.
How is the security situation in Nigeria?
@@prettyme3150 Nigeria is a country of 36 states dear so the issue of security depends on where u,there are a lot of states here that are pretty safe to stay
@@chisomokeke9951 Thanks for your heartwarming response. It's good to hear that cos I do intend to visit Nigeria soon.
I wish I was the one to take you round my state , Akwaibom, I love when big TH-camrs come to my state, I was privileged to host African tigress this week
Bro you did a great job with African Tigress. Just subbed to your channel earlier today and going through your videos. Great job man. If I ever came to your state I'll give you a shout.
man, I enjoyed your content with African Tigress. you really did well I wish you success in your content creation career. Thanks Fron Bauchi State Nigeria
African tigress came this week? She took my advice then hehehe
I was very excited to see you taking African Tigress around AKS. You're doing well@RealityBox
You really did well taking African Tigress through akwa ibom, your state is beautiful and very clean
Nigeria, we will get there 🇳🇬🇳🇬💪
I must say if you think of Nigeria as only Lagos and Abuja, then you don't know the country at all which is the case for me. I am from Cameroon and Akwa Ibom is really beautiful.
You are absolutely correct. Akwa Ibom, the home of public gardens and tourism in general
Akwa Ibom is so underrated in terms of tourism.... it remains my fave in Nigeria 🇳🇬
You are very much correct
We need to tap into and harness our tourism potentials.
We need to keep quiet before we attract the wrong type of Nigerians
*Akwa Ibom Ayaya!*
The best east Africana ever , kindly marry yo a Nigerian oo .. If you are still in my state Akwa ibom abeg drop your contact let me see you oo
Thanks for watching. I can see you in my country. Do Hit me up when you in lagos. Let’s link up! 😊
As an unenlightened AMERICAN, I never EVER dreamed of anything so beautiful could be part of NIGERIA!! So much negativity from MSM! So very lovely and gorgeous and wonderful people here! Keep posting these informative videos! Peace and love! 🎇😁🎊🎉♥️✨🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love it, wonderful experience. I am proud to be called a Nigerian Jamaican. Thanks for sharing. Worth a visit.
This shows a Kenyan like me that the greatest African country is not just about Lagos, l have fallen in love with Akwa Ibom state, thanks so much Tayo.
Asante sana, bwana wangu! Wao (akwa Ibom) ni watu wema!
Ninapenda wanawake wakenya, pia! Nitakutembea Kenya saa zingine...
Go to Rwanda , South Africa , seychelles, Botswana . South Africa and ghana for sure u will love it I forgot Senegal is amazing too some of our people were ship off from there u can even visit the slave prisons and also take a look of their traditional wrestling the big and tall crazyyyy😭. But definitely is ghana a special place and I think u will be more comfortable there loveeee man 😤😘
@@printermoney7926 Akwa Ibom state tourist centres stands high above your Ghana, don't bring your stupid comparison mentality here
@@printermoney7926 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Ignorant Ghanaians everywhere trying to prove stupid points
@@printermoney7926 ghana is a village. Do your findings
I think that ministries of tourism in Africa are not doing justice to the industry. Places like this are hardly marketed. When I think of visiting Nigeria, I never though of a tranquil place like this one. like you said, every body is showing Lagos and Abuja as if Nigeria consist of just the two cities. Thank you for sharing. watching from SA.
Sawubona, Jabulani!
In Nigeria especially, they won't even bother to show places like this, only Lagos and Abuja, and by extension PortHarcourt. Akwa Ibom has a lot of amazing public gardens which is not common in any other states in Nigeria, like Lagos I don't think there is even one public garden. There are a lot of sightseeing in Akwa Ibom state, and Cross River state as well
We had our Honey moon here. Thanks to a friend who gave us the trip as a gift! We ended staying for two weeks 😂 we didn't make baby but we made food belly😂
Finally somebody that realize within Nigeria and Africa sef, you can have a holiday without worrying about Racism.
Facts!
you will experience racism, homophobia, sexism and many other things in nigeria. just becayse its a african country doesnt mean its except from racism
@@adamlopez9457 homophobia yes, sexism not really, racism, definitely not. Stop speaking on things you know nothing about
SARS is worse than racism. Foreign nationals (Europeans) on holiday are excluded. But the Nigerian citizens feel the intimidation from their own law enforcement.
@@thinkaboutit6844 sars has been dissolved since.
Your videos will boost our tourism sector for sure
U are more important to us than the ministry of culture and tourism ♥️
Thank you for being a true NIGERIAN ♥️💪
Nigeria is in fact a beautiful, diverse & fascinating country. Our problem is we have consistently poor leadership nationally and locally.
Are the leaders from Mars? Are they not from the people? Let them give you an opportunity to lead, you may be worse than those there. Those who are there today were shouting the leaders were our problem yesterday.

@@amosadewuni460 The President of Nigeria today was there back in the 70's and President in the 80's. Back then he used to say "You are the future" Well the future is now some 40 plus years later and he's still running the game. I don't have to be a Nigerian to know this shit.
@@amosadewuni460 Thank you very much. Nigerians are professional government blamers. If they run out of kitchen towel it's the fault of ''our leaders''. They sound like broken records, with no one taking personal responsibility for anything.
@@african-history-station7771 exactly
I think they should include a mini wild life to the resort ( like horses, elephants, antelopes, giraffes and so on. This will definitely boost the tourism potential
That's a good idea
Good thinking...
@@gilbertcharley423 Yeah, a clue from Kenya has shown that it is very effective, tourist waking up to see elephants, giraffes and antelope roaming around, they really love that shit
@@godsent8898 Absolutely

Another beautiful tour of Akwa Ibom State by Tayo Aina, Nigeria's number one content creator and TH-camr
Hi Tayo, greetings from the UK. The quality of your filming & video report is superb. Love the diversity in activities especially seeing black men swimming and enjoying golf. Thank you for your work highlighting this wonderful state and hotel. I am not Nigerian (neither from Africa, we are from the Caribbean but live in the UK 🇬🇧) however, your amazing work is a breath of fresh air! Keep building your brand Bro!
Thank you!!!!
My Brethren, as long as you are a black person, you are an African. So embrace your motherland
Black man swimming got me 😂😂😂😂
Great
@@adieamallam9317 Yes! The picture the Western media portray the Blackman is often negative, violence and poverty prone 😅. Good Tayo is breaking the stereotype by sharing the African😊 experience.😊
Akwaibom is indeed beautiful. Being born and raised in Lagos, one of the best decisions I made was changing my environment and coming down here to my higher studies. Also thank you for featuring me in this, I saw a glimpse of my beautiful face 😊
Wow that's really nice Ij
I am an American born Nigerian with a European name. After watching this video I was so inspired. I gave myself a Nigerian name. From this day forward, I know call myself “Whambosi” pronounced “Wham-Bo-see”! Brilliant! Cheers mates!!
@@rebeccarambo2893 yes. I will be there this summer!
@@rebeccarambo2893 Practically all of West Africa is beautiful.
whambosi? I haven't heard it though in Nigeria before, yours is unique. great
@@amicareview Thank you. I love being Whambosi!😂
Thanks for helping us rediscover our country, may Nigeria work for us because insult and disrespect don belleful us.
My friend you are here ❤️
God bless you
You are right.
You are right.
Everything Tayo shared here is absolutely true! I have been here over and over again and it is my favourite part of Nigeria! Uyo is a clean and well laid out city with friendly people and great cuisine. Most of akwa ibom is clean and it is ingrained in the culture of the people. Welldone Tayo, but next time please wear a lifevest while on the boat!
Beautiful story line. Beautiful visual. Tayo is a good homely Narrator like Ace, Wode Maya, GoBlack2Africa, Phil Scot, Dynast Akala Amir etc.
Tayo please take the advice on using a life vest when next you decide to paddle on any section of rivers.
Cheers!
Nigeria is africas only pride love from East Africa
Yea you are right, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania etc are also doing really great in the aspect of tourism
This just revives some old memories as a Cameroonian who’s nanny was an immigrant from Akwa Ibom. I’m missing her now as she returned to Akwa Ibom when I was turning 5 and we haven’t had contact since😭🥲🥲.
This is a push for me to visit Nigeria and look for her, I pray God keeps her alive until I’m able to in the near future.
@@wadleo Such reunion will be wonderful
Akwa Ibom is truly the most beautiful state in Nigeria… a peaceful and amazing place.
Sure..... Akwa Ibom is the best
Definitely Akwa Ibom is the most organized and beautiful state, so much endowed with tourism and public gardens, followed by Cross Rivers state
Oh my God! Like seriously? Such fabulous holiday spot exists in Nigeria and it's hardly known? 👍👍
There is no publicity for it that's why people are not aware
This was so satisfying to watch! The noise and hype of Lagos really distracts us from exploring other beautiful parts of Nigeria! Grew up in Lagos and I barely explored other states, now I live in Canada lol... would love to visit Akwa Ibom and eat authentic Afang soup
I will certainly visit the resort some day soon 😎👌🏾🔥 thanks for sharing another awesome content.
Thanks for watching Bro. Appreciate you always!
Hey Mr phrankleen I see you man. I've been consuming your content
Lord Phrankee loves the good things of life....
Hey Mr Phrankleen 😃😃🥰, I see you there.
I know you love good things so go show us Akwa Ibom let's see it through your magnificent lens also 🥰🥰😆😆😅.
Love from south Sudan to Akwa Ibom the most beautiful place in 9ja. I'm coming to visit that place in 2030
Please come tomorrow. You'll love it.
2030? 😊😊😊🤣🤣😂
I'm all the way in Florida and this video made me intrigued about visiting this city now. Only thought about Lagos and Abuja, thanks for sharing 🤭😊 great video 💕🙌🏽🔥🔥
Wow beauty, can I have your contact pls?
You are welcome Keira, Nigeria is more than Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria had 36 states and about 52 cities, so Lagos and Abuja is just 2 cities out of 52, and each of the cities has different amazing features and intrinsic endowments to tap from.
@@gilbertcharley423 truth
Akwa Ibom is arguably one of the best places you can be in Nigeria. The people are hospitable and the state is relatively peaceful as such. I served (NYSC) there and still look back in time with a sense of nostalgia. I hope to go back there some day.

Yes o. Served in Ikot Okoro/Ikot Akpan. Enjoyed myself like mad. Looking forward to get back one day.
@@daddyg.o9579 You are all welcome to our amazing state
Sam here....my NYSC days in AkwaIbom was Full of warm Hospitality
@@toheebdosunmu5361
I am telling you bro.
Traveling there from America is on my bucket list. This time of year we're dealing with snow which I don't like.
Hook me up anything you are in my city , I will tour you around
Wow as Nigerian I just never new this beauty exists. Thanks for sharing the world outside Abuja n Lagos.
Always Ibom has always overwhelmed me. From Ibom Resort to the Stadium to the food, the beautiful people, the good roads. There's so much more potentials hidden in the state, natural, tourist and tech. God bless Akwa Ibom
Thank u very much sir
Wow!!! Lovely video..I lovely state...you still have a lot to explore there .I did my N.Y.S.C there and I even stayed back for an extra year. I could not go back to Lagos again. Their foods are top notch.i am sure you must have noticed how clean the state is? And the women, Lips sealed😛. If you are still there Tayo. Please try and visit a place called Ikot abasi. They have this aluminum producing company there and we had 24hrs electricity throughout my stay there.Thats the first place I would experience uninterrupted power supply in Nigeria. You can hit me up if you have any questions. Keep up the good work bro..1👍
When I watched akwa ibom video in African Tigress channel damn I felt in love with the city immediately, now watching it on your video increase the love I have for the city and I will definitely visit one day, I never knew Nigeria is more than Lagos and Abuja the over hyped of Lagos and Abuja has made we Nigerians to be novice about other cities, akwa ibom a great place for holidays.
Wow this is Nigeria? Amazing
This is premium content, you always never disappoint
What is the Nigerian government and other African leaders doing to provide a safe passage for their citizens stranded in Ukraine right now? Asking for a friend
@@thinkaboutit6844 Hmmm, I don't really know about that.
Excellent work brother. We can keep the unity of NIGERIA together
Hello
Respect ur self bro
I never knew stuffs like these exist in Nigeria, bruh. Thanks for the exposure. O mo, na big work you dey do, O!
Good work brother,Akwa ibom is really beautiful,south south Nigeria is the most serene region in Nigeria.Nigeria will be great again,is just a matter of time
.Nigeria?,....great again? when was Nigeria ever great?
@@oparaeleke5882 Nigeria has always been great and it will be great work hard oga stop yr negative mindset more positive bring positive things not cursing and u expect better fool
@@iyiolaabosede9500 For you to use the word 'fool' where you did means you don't reason very well (except if it's a typo). If many people call you an imbecile and you are struggling with it, that does not mean you should vent your anger on anybody that asks a simple question, or has a contrary opinion? Try and reason! If you say 'will be great again', it means there was a time it was great, followed by a time it stopped being great; and now you want it to get back to how it used to be when it was great. And my question was 'when was it great?'
Akwa ibom is south east not south south
@@Robio_scorpioikwa ibom is south south not south east
I really can't wait to be able to tour Nigeria! It's definitely on my bucket list, and I'm adding this in too!😄❤
Great video as always. Nigeria is a truly beautiful country isn't it. I just wished that Nigeria had better leadership.
At least we don’t hate ourselves like people from Seychelles 🇸🇨.
@@rg8162 What the hell are you talking about. As Seychellois, we are proud to be Seychellois. So according to you, it is ok for your leadership to fail you as long you don't hate yourself. Well, it is very clear that your leadership hates you. Instead of dealing with issues in your country you gonna hate on our country. Good luck with that. And if you are saying we hate being black/African then that is your opinion. You don't speak for all of us. Peace and love.
Even before he mentioned the state, I just knew it's akwaibom. Akwaibom ayaya
Yup there’s a lot of Nigeria I haven’t seen even as a Nigerian and this is an assignment for myself when am in home. Now I am craving Moi-Moi, the only way I would have been to AkIbom before coming to SA is if I had dated that guy 😂😂😂😂 Lollz.
I am from cameroon and i love all you content if i want to visit nigeria definitely akwa ibom
You can take that river and use a canoe from Cameroon direct 😜😜
@@truethots3088 i know right 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ,we have kinda similar food
Ibom Icon Hotel and Golf Resort is a piece of paradise in the midst of the jungle.
this will be a good vacation spot. we as Africans, should learn to travel within Africa. instead of constantly traveling abroad. I am guilty.. I am Nigerian/ Jamaican..
I live abroad and have decided to tour Africa; starting with West Africa. I have at least been to Togo and Ghana.. Next stop, Senegal the Gambia.. Tayo kudos on this piece..
you should tour Warri..
I like the new direction you're going in more with this channel, I always believe we Nigerians/Africans are the ones to tell our own stories and culture. Keep it up Tayo!
I wonder what these places would do without you vloggers? There is so much available to see/do, but these establishments don't advertise and barely have internet visibility.
Glad see these positives coming out of Nigeria. Big up to the governor and the people of Uyo. The rest of Nigeria should learn from them. God bless Akwa Ibom, God bless Nigeria, God bless Africa
That was Ex-Governor Akpabio not the current clown there... The only good addition by the new Governor is Ibom Air. Disappointing how people don't foster posterity.
@@patrickdavid2076 that's a harsh judgement 😅. Udom Emmanuel did well in terms of road infrastructure. Godswill Akpabio and the man before him all get my pass mark.
Its like akwa ibom has taken the glory from calabar , I really hungry for the uyo feel
Lack of maintenance by calabar govt.
Tayo pls tell that man to continue his blood pressure medication.HTN is a life long diagnosis.
Wow this is beautiful, some friend was telling me she relocated to Akwa Ibom and is enjoying the peace there. Now I believe her!
We are hoping to welcome yoh
Hey Tayo, I love your channel. Here in America I want to travel to the Continent so bad. Love all the stuff you put it. God bless you
Come to Akwa ibom
Akwa Ibom is the place to go relax, catch fun and re-energise... we Nigerians should visit there more often and organise festivals and music events there too. There are also plenty business and investment opportunities in Akwa Ibom.
You video content have open my eyes to Africas beauty 😍
I am Afro Caribbean and we were thought that Africa is poor. After watching you videos I would proud to be an Africa decent. Visiting Africa ony next vacations is high on my list
J
Keep creating
Thank you for showing my beautiful Akwa Ibom state to the world. As a country we have so many things to enjoy that other countries are begging for. Peace ✌️ from USA 🇺🇸
Sis mbok come and carry your brother.
Abuja ain't got nothing I ng know uyo.Thjs should be Nigeria s pride..very impressed
Exactly
Wow so akwa ibom is this beautiful no I must be here
Over beautiful
Nigeria is a beautiful country,with an amazing culture ,very divers but in Africa today or outside nigerians doesn't have great or good reputations.your videos just make me love nigeria more.
Waoh so lovely. When ever i enters Nigeria am coming here with my wife
Tayo! Y'all motivating me as a Nigerian TH-camr 👌🏽😌
Me too
I love how you're bringing other creators alongside you. Thanks!!
😁😁
Thank You Tayo for this Amazing series by travelling within Nigeria . This is a very nice Way to show the Nigeria Tourism Sector to the World.
I am watching from Germany.
You are Doing a very Nice job. 👍🤝✌💪
Thank you. Really appreciate this!
Thank you for showing us how rich and colourful our country is, to counter the bad images of how our country is being portrayed by foreigners
Hi seen my video plz
What is the Nigerian government and other African leaders doing to provide a safe passage for their citizens stranded in Ukraine right now? Asking for a friend
@@thinkaboutit6844 Ask your “friend” to query the Buhari admin. I’m sure answers will come rolling…Lol.
Proudly Akwa Ibomite here
One day one day I will visit this place. I recently saw that resort on African Tigress's channel as well. Insha Allah, God willing.
This video is very soothing, we can feel how peaceful Akwa Ibom is by watching this video. We can tell the FOOD IS GOOD!!! (Gosh we're hungry)!! The people are also kind and hospitable. If only our government puts more work into our natural resources, we will make trillions off tourism. Looking forward to the next Video Tayooooo our Minister of Tourism!! Great Job!! 😎👌🏾🔥
When it comes to TH-cam channels , there are levels to it, you are the numero uno
You can do a comparison video like what $10 can get you in Lagos and akwa ibom.
It be like say, I'll spend this year's birthday in Akwa Ibom 😅
You also forgot to mention that people from Akwa Ibom are the BEST Chef in the country
If you're looking for a place to visit in Nigeria, guys, look no further! What you are looking for in Sokoto, is in your Shokoto 😂.
If you don't gerrit, forget about it....
Single and still searching 😂😂😂 I love it. One of the things I love about Akwa Ibom is the spoken language. My God, it's so sweet
I spent last Christmas at the Golf resort, you should visit during the holidays, beautiful Christmas carols and events. It's a good vacation spot. Very relaxing
I’ve Been to Uyo and I absolutely enjoyed it
Now this how SPace & GREENERY 🌴☘️🌿🍃 is done right, nature is soo PEACEFUL & BEAUTIFUL 💕💕💕💕💕
Bro I really love your work cos you put more effort in it 🌍🔥
The business hub in Nigeria is Akwaibom. They have all it takes to make that happen.
Tayo Aina, I love you so much. I enjoy what you are doing for Nigeria and Africa youtube. Good luck in your future adventures and I hope you will be rewarded greatly.
I plan to visit akwa ibom someday. I cant wait to explore the beautiful things I've heard about that place from the weather to food, to lifestyle, to infrastructure. I'm from Kogi but i love akwa ibom. Their girls are really fine. I have some as friends.
Thank you Aina, you give value always and you are thorough.
Hey Sis! I'm from Kogi too (Ibaji). My mum is from Akwa Ibom so I decided to come down here to school. Would be nice to have you visit! Aks is a stark contrast and sweet relief from our garish state lol
Akwa-Ibom ayaya o! Akwa-Ibom isong o! If you know, you know... 💪🏾🔥👍🏾
Beautiful beautiful, beautiful. If only there's train link from Lagos. It's very much Nigeria's Blackpool.❤❤❤❤🇬🇧
Akwa Ibom is the cleanest and one of the most beautiful places I've lived in Nigeria, so many lovely people too. Akwa Ibom ayaya.
Interesting that you and African Tigress are featuring Akwa Ibom around the same time.
Love the recommendation for BP reduction. Some of us need that. Money spent was good considering return flight included
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
One love from Ghana 🇬🇭
Tayo I like your passion for Nigeria will be great.
Tayo should be paid for all this promotion.
I never knew Akwa Ibom is such a nice place like what you have shown. Hope to be there one day to experience such splendour. Nice content all the way.
I get home sick when I watch videos like this. I miss Nigeria a lot. Nigeria will always be home as the love hits different.
Another great one. Black American watching from the US.
Only 2 minutes into the video, and I've shared it to my friends already.Now let me continue.
Haha. Thank you!
Akwaibom ayaya oooo
Very beautiful and easier to make money I enjoyed my stay at Abak uyo and Akanimo Eket
Beautiful and educative video Tayo Aina, love 💕 and greetings from the Netherlands always.
Very informative! Beautiful scenery, beautiful ladies/people and very affordable. Awesome content my man 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
You're for sure a good example of Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
from the river to Cameroon will definitely visit that resort
As someone that schooled in Akwa Ibom for 6 years but never got to experience much of it cause I was a boarder, it's definitely a place I wld love to visit and probably retire to for a while.....This video brought back a lot of memories especially the accent😂😂😂....I can recognize that accent from a mile away....Nice work and keep it up
Please drop the next video quickly I can't wait to watch it.
Akwa ibom my state
Thank you Tayo Aina... For featuring my friend too 😊 .I love you ❤️❤️
Thanks for your good will 👍😘😊
