Thanks for sharing.
As a Nigerian, I find the streets very clean unlike most cities in my country. Though Nigeria is a beautiful country and beautiful landscape..
thanks a lot for being here, hope to see you for the next video premiering tonight th-cam.com/video/j5HSkNRSAts/w-d-xo.html
Fascinating. I'm Jamaican and my DNA is primarily from Benin/Togo. Ironically my Mother is from the east in Jamaica in the parish of St. Thomas, which in Jamaican lore is the "Voodoo" capital.
Are you a Voodoo practioner?
Thank you so much! I cannot begin to tell you just how much this video means to me as an African in the diaspora, raised Christian and told that the voodoo religion of my people was pure evil.
thanks a lot for the feedback, I am glad you appreciate these videos
I am sorry to tell you but voodoo is pure evil. I am a deliverance minister living in the Caribbean. According to the bible God says that we should worship no other god besides him. When you worship deities and idols curses come into your bloodline. We call voodoo in the Caribbean "Obeah". I have seen families who pratice obeah suffer from curses. Their children die of cancer and other sicknesses. Their children suffer from psychiatric problems and end up in the mental hospital. I would encourage everyone reading this to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and stop worshiping other gods. I love you all. God bless you
Christianity is pure evil.
Voodoo is evil Period
Thank you Ludo ! I enjoy taking these trips with you. It feels as if I am there myself in person ! Much love from 🇺🇸
thanks a lot Andrea!I appreciate so much to see you in in the comment section just after the premiere!

L'immersion est vraiment réelle, surtout lors des voyages en moto. J'avais l'impression d'être moi même sur la route. Ton approche est vraiment magnifique. Merci pour le voyage.
merci mille fois de ce commentaire très chaleureux ! j'apprécie beaucoup ! N'hésitez pas à partager cette ideo pour l'aider à faire le tour de la planète
the lake is gorgeous with all thouse far away houses . i wish i could give this 100 thumb ups for this good vedio
thanks a lot !!! you can help the video by sharing it on your social network, that would already be amazing
J'adore ! Les échanges avec les gens , la nature magnifique, tout...
merci !!! je suis vraiment ravis que cela vous plaise!
C'est vraiment sincère
This is simply impactful and done with respect to the culture. The knowledge of the guides is on point. The syncretism is amazing. The places are clean, the roads are good and and the happiness to share their culture without imposing it. Additionally they share beverages and food. I was like wow! The tire was fixed by using an edible!!! I want to be there. Good job, man!
Wow, thank you for your very warm comment ! welcome on the channel, please feel free to subscribe and share the video to help it to travel more !
I am learning so much (from Australia) ……amazed at how clean everything is……most enjoyable

Excellent trip today. 👍
Thanks 👍
I appreciate the support !
The temple was interesting I would have asked for good health with my offering health is 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑 wealth stay blessed
Thanks a lot for sharing your comment !
Merci mon ami,
Je suis Haitien et je viens d’apprendre que je suis Béninois à 41% d’après les résultats de mon DNA. Depuis lors je cherche à apprendre sur la vie de mes ancêtres, et cette vidéo m’a beaucoup aidé. J’ai été très heureux de voir que la coutume de se partager un coup (à propos du breuvage qu’on t’a donné) vient exactement du Bénin. Dans la zone où je suis né, les gens pratiquent encore cette coutume. Je compte visiter Le Benin dans les années à venir, mais en attendant, je veux profiter des vidéos comme la tienne pour m’en instruire.
Merci beaucoup mon ami!
merci beaucoup de ton retour et de ton expérience !
j'espère que tu apprécieras le prochain episode qui sort ce soir ! retour au Bénin :)

@@listenup2882 I totally agree, but I can’t tell my friends that!
I love your humility as you travel. You respect the people and the culture. Benin/Togo is my 3rd ethnic group of origin and I have been able to see a beautiful glimpse at both countries via your lens. Thank you Ludo. 💛
Thank you Ludo! Good Video. The sound is amazing! You have shown everything that you will not see in television reports. This is real life in Africa. I will be waiting for your new videos with impatience. Good luck!

thanks so much for your comment, yes I also feel this culture is amazing and I cannot wait to be back there ! Kindly check the pther episodes if you want to discover more about the Benin and west african culture
Le syncrétisme entre le catholicisme et les religions d'origine africaine c'est aussi très fort au Brésil.

Tire repair amazing 😮😊❤
Really amazing yes especially when you think about the fact that the repair is still working today.I didn t do anything on the tire since that day
Your works are always interesting and inspiring. I wish you all the best!
Thank you very much!
Great vlog Ludo.
Glad you enjoyed it
Trop Cool Ludo
merci beaucoup
All people are similar in some way to each other, we also believe in God, and say that with God with Russian. Same churches, same faith. It's so interesting. Regardless of nationality. We are all one, we are all one. Thank you, Lido, for the video.
you can't imagine how nice it is to read such a comment. If i had one goal with my youtube channel, that would be this one : show to the world that we can believe in humanity, and brotherhood, however our faith and colour
Thank you for interesting trips. This is a huge work for you, but we are immersed in this magical atmosphere together with you. Together with you, I fall in love with Africa and make incredible discoveries.
@@olesyastarostina8783 thanks so much !!!!
Ludo, thank YOU very much

So nice of you to share that really warm comment !

What about crocodiles @Adesuwa? 🐊 My mothers peoples in Delta State in Nigeria still worship the ancient Egyptian crocodile god Sobek which they call Iyeoji today. Something like the black one or something if the translation isn’t to me. They also worship pythons too and both animals are highly venerated and no stranger can harm them in their communities and they don’t harm human beings too. Crocodiles in all the rivers and never harming people. It’s living ancient magic. Colonialism failed to completely wipe out our ancestors way of life and I am very happy to see ancient Nigerian religion still thriving in our sister nation BenIn 🇧🇯. The Christian church there showed the failure of colonial Christianity to wipe out indigenous religions in these parts. In parts of Nigeria the colonialists made the people burn all their gods and gave them the statues that sometimes find their way to Christian European countries, the same peoples who asked or bullied some Africans from worshiping their ancient gods. Some just refused and kept their gods and identity. To loose it is to severe all ties with one’s ancestors. The very worse thing that can ever happen to Africa after slavery and colonialism. Long may voodoo worship survive for those that believe in it! Free world. ✊🏽
@@alvanalvino Crocodile you said, I dont go there. Am a mummy to my beautiful dog Africa! Apart from dogs I don't give near any other animal's.
In respect of what you said about tradition you are 100% right. Am a strong Christian. But that's don't give me the right to criticize people for still worshiping their Gods. Stay Blessed and Happy Easter to you
Hi Maestro, sorry for my absence during the premiere I have got home late yesterday because I was busy. Thank you for ťhis powerful content. The lesson I keep when watching it is money is good, we must never lose our culture. Benin is the miror of southwest and southeast people of Nigeria as we were before. Unfortunately petrol, corruption and selfish are made many of our people to be weakness. Please let us come back as we were before that will make Nigeria great, peaceful, less stressful than what our environment is Now. Peace
hello Oga me, no problem, I am also sorry for the late answer. Yes culture is something people needs to fight for , that s really important.And these ancestral deities are really part of the ancestral culture here.
Hello ! Interesting place 😂
Hello 👋 thanks a lot Gladys !
Your shirt is ver pretty ! 🇨🇦😍😍😍😍
Nigerian fabric and nigerian tailor are always giving a good result.
thanks so much for watching :)
Amazing how your videos are going through the 5th wall and make the viever feel all the magic of these places. Apart of that could you tell me the name of the song played within first 2 minutes ?
UPDATE: I have just found it ;P
I like that song And glad i found it it fits the adventure and bike atmosphere with a nice scenery
thanks so much for your comment on the videos !I am so glad people like them!it gives me more energy to work more for that
Respect of a root culture let people live in peace and harmony
did i disturb or disrespect anyone here ?
Just expressing of how colonial religions have brought most unstableness to the third world
@@sethnuk5215 okay, i get it ! that s true !
Great adventure,more grease to your elbow
Thank you Ludo for translating our Cousins🙂! I enjoyed almost everything...No snakes for me😭. Anyhow....wanted to be be live with you but California time threw me off🤦🏾♀️. Well...see you and everybody around🙂
Next time for the live, no problem, you had the 4 k , it is maybe better than my useless talk :)
thanks so much for the support !
New sub here very interesting.
Welcome aboard! thanks a lot for subscribing
Your videos are excellent you are very cute and handsome but with no drone no deal
th-cam.com/users/LudoLiuvideos here is what you are looking for
Nice video. Will like to relocate to Benin 🇧🇯
Benin is lovely yes. thanks for watching !!!
Yes very nice and I like beaches ⛱ 😀
@@nharddy28 then you will love the next video !
👍 Very Beautiful Places. I did not know about BENIN. Is it part of NIGERIA? Thanks for taking us along your Trip.👏
(new subscriber). 🇰🇪🇨🇦
Benin is a country by itself. On the west side of naija
Teach me!
i d like to learn more first :)
J'adore tes vidéos de voyage ! C'est quoi la chanson à 28:50 ?
@Ludo, love this series. How is the garri tyre fix holding up. That was amazing just to see that quick fix. What is the underlying issue with the air leaking from the bead? I've ridden motorcycle for decades the only time I seen that is because of a defective tyre or the rim is bent. It really does not look like it is bent. Thanks
the fixing he did with the gari is still working. I don't really know what was the reason. the mechanic there told me it may be due to the road i did the previous day, long drive on a very hot asphalt, with a dry dusty tire, he told me the problem comes from the fact that the tire is dry.
I trust him cause more than a month a hundreds km after the tire is still okay
This looked a very amazing journey, beautifully filmed, stunning scenery & colours and it looked very tidy with no trash and good roads. The best part for me was the guided tour of the Sacred Forest. There are no other films of West Africa like this, thankyou for this work..
thanks so much, i am very glad to read your comment !
I try to do videos that are different from what other creators are doing, cause i think audience deserve something new, and not a copy of what's already done.
I am so happy to see you like it !
Benin is a best kept secret which it shouldn't be. The folks have a deep sense of hospitality.
I thank you so much for having the nerves do all of this. God bless west Africa. ?watching your filming from USA. One day i have a dream to visit. The mother lands. I just love it period
@@martharichardson416 thanks so much !!!!!!
You must be courageous to perform that ritual at the temple. I’m an African through and through, I love our cultures and traditions, but I ain’t gonna perform any ritual I don’t understand. I admire your genuine openness to other cultures
thanks a lot for your comment Damian. i just made simple wishes here, no ritual. I guess it must be okay :)
May your prayers be answered. Ase.
I am from Ghana, how please I desire to know the distinction of your Sacred Temple. Please Great One.
I wish I could help more, but i am myself not very educated in that field. just trying to discover
thanks a lot for being here, hope to see you for the next video premiering tonight th-cam.com/video/j5HSkNRSAts/w-d-xo.html
Jolie travail j'suis un beninois et je suis jaloux de voir que tu connais ma culture bien plus que moi non c'est juste une blague si non jolie et je te félicite
mille fois merci, je suis ravis que cela puisse plaire ! n'hésite pas à regarder sur la chaine il y a plusieurs videos sur le Bénin !
Merci beaucoup. Voici les talents.....
mille merci de votre retour ! n'hésitez pas à partager pour aider la video à voyager davantage
Hola ludo me gustas, te saludo DESDE VENEZUELA
gracias hermana !
It’s very interesting to see one’s of beautiful villages in Benin 🇧🇯
As you know, pythons 🐍 are one’s of mostly dangerous venoms in the world. I’m surprised snakes 🐍 ain’t bite you.
It had to with religious reason. Nice Temples!
Nice day in Benin 🇧🇯…..I came home from shopping. Lol 😆, I’m watching soccer game in England same time with your great video!
Don’t drink & drive 😀…..see you next videos!!!
I took half a glass and waited some time before driving again yes... not really serious...
thanks a lot for your support ! We missed you for the premiere, one sister was looking for someone to tease:)
i wish you a great week sir !
Pythons are not venous. They are constrictors and kill their prey by suffocating them.
Pythons aren't poisonous.
Pythons don’t have venom
That voodoo ceremony jinxed your bike!😅
Your point of view though
Wonderful "religion". You can only wish good things and no volunteer who "sacrificed" himself and died for the sin of others. Good for Africans to stick to their authentic beliefs.
yes that s a positie religion ! thanks so much for watching ! pleas share the video around you
Repaired a puncture with Garri
that s a really incredible thing, the tire is still okay today !
Halo Mimi nahitaji kuwa muumini voodo
His is a very interesting belief !
Eu, sou brasileiro,gosto muito de suas aventuras, mas gostaria muito de saber o nome da música de fundo que deve ser francesa.
Aquela que você sempre coloca quando está em estradas de Barros...por favor...mande-me o
Nome da música .
Sou muito seu fã.
Sou do Brasil..Santa Catarina.

Obrigado.
Out of curiosity are you considering getting a 4 four-wheeled vehicle like a car,jeep etc?I,m not telling you to get one just curious.
not at all, that s a good question, I mean not for the next 3/4 years.
I'll buy one when i will start the journey around the globe with my family
I see lots of rivers where you are , what language they know I must say they seem nice people , but Lagos specks English , when you put the captains don't take them away so fast , you can find any English speaking
no easy the caption when the persons are speaking fast. that s a huge job. around 10 hours just for captions on this last video.
The roads are constructed well quality. I thought the country have good road infrastructure in port novo nd cotonou only
yes the roads in Benin are good for most of them, all the national road are in pretty good condition
@@Ludo_Liu yes! But i think roads are built on main point /way only or i can say higways. The road network in city are not available in town or village.
If it is possible nd convient for you to tell more about benin whatever you experience
yes it is true, once more, national roads are really fine, other roads are less good or even inexistant. you can see it in the other videos on the channel.@@Ashishsevkani
Ludo do you need sunscreen protection or you can go without because you're so tanned
I mostly don t use it... only while surfing or staying at beach
That voodoo ceremony jinxed your bike😅
he he !thanks a lot for being here, hope to see you for the next video premiering tonight th-cam.com/video/j5HSkNRSAts/w-d-xo.html
Up
yeahh please lets wake up the god of the algo for that one :)
Can barely see the words… but I’m enjoying the view
these videos are 4K, they are meant to be seen on a large screen, for sure on the phone it is small. thanks a lot for watching, try to watch in 4K, you would enjoy even more
@@Ludo_Liu yes you’re right. As soon as I adjusted my screen I was able to read. Thank you. And I absolutely love traveling through your videos.
@@mariaager1924 thank you so much, feel free to check more videos :)
Wow people don't know it's true
what they don't know ?
thanks for watching
Friend you need to have a drawn to be a TH-camr
i have it, check here : th-cam.com/users/LudoLiuvideos
I am sorry for not commenting here earlier. I am busy following your country's presidential election. I support Macron reelection though.
Thank you for this video, sir.
Question,do oversea territories like Martinique,Guadeloupe,French Guiana also take part in the election or is it only Metropolitan France?
@Tau ceti, yes tey do take part in the process. they mostly voted for a candidate called Mélenchon. he arrived 3rd
@@Ludo_Liu thanks
Did you find Yoruba speaking people in Benin?
Not this time, but during a previous visit yes
Yoruba is part of the main languages spoken in Benin. It is called in Bénin, Nago. Basically the same except some nuances.
@@sousmarin1000 thanks a lot for the info !
@@sousmarin1000 . Thanks buddy
These two countries are most poor in Africa-Togo and Benin due to these madness, poor children who are brought up in such society
what madness ? this is ancestral religion, not more mad that the one imported by arabs or european
Which candidate do you support? Le pen or Emmanuel Macron?
difficult, choice....it looks like i ll have to choose between smallpox and covid
@@Ludo_Liu French people don't trust their leaders just the way we do in Nigeria as well, sir. Hahaha...
they proved that they were not trustable
@@Ludo_Liu I agree with you, sir.
I'm not use to snakes , and boo do why do they go to to different churches , christain don't do boo do , try to find people that speck English oats better understand
thanks for watching and commenting
haiti prove to be the most powerful benin they didnt use thiers against the french lol
i don't understand.... if somebody does ?
That lake looks inviting , I took French in college so I can communicate he's I like these type of videos , if they speck French I can get along
so the speedy captions were fine for you i guess.
thanks once more for commenting and supporting the work i do !
take care
