"I'm Gonna Kick His @$$" 🇳🇬 (#84)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ต.ค. 2021
- One day, we decided to take a nice little trip to the Yoruba and Pidgin speaking market of Lagos, and were offered everything from traditional Nigerian clothing like kaftans and ankaras to a unique method of "male enhancement". We also discovered a common way that Nigerians resolve disputes.

Big advise: Never stand to watch people fighting, so you don't get robbed by pickpockets while you are carried away watching the fight.
it works everywhere like this👍
I would never watch fights in Africa or South America, I would just be scared to be accused of something I didnt do and get lynched and set on fire.
@@pmbbmp Yea if you can get pick pocketed while watching a fight it can happen anywhere else too lol
That's what I thought.. You just protect your woman and get away from it.. When it get volatile as a westerner your a target for theives.. You should never do what they did on here.. Not just pickpockets you can get mugged in the commotion..
Use a wallet chain, like an american biker.
I’m a Nigerian
Living in Nigeria
I’m ashamed to say that I’ve bought those items for a higher price than you did.
Great bargaining skills Tommy
@Daniel Nwokocha. You made laugh so hard!!
😹
lol rip
No lies oh 🤣🤣
Right! Lol The textile he brought was sold at a great price. My mother who is a native has bought textiles at a higher price.
I would survive about 5 minutes in that society, your openness and ability to communicate and adapt in environments is inspiring.
It's a good way for ppl who aren't good in busy social settings to get over any anxiety or nervousness they may have around this ... It's like diving strait into the deep end but obv Tommy is a natural and/or he's travelled around enough to be used to it all and now is second nature which is how I feel ... I get harassed wayyyyy less because I am Pakistani-American and tho I was born and raised not far from long island where Tommy is from, they see me as Pakistani/south Asian and dont have western equivalent funds and resources which is great .. they move onto next white man lol
You beat me, I wouldnt even go in the first place
@@MoAli-wm4of I have rlly bad social anxiety and I feel this. I’m thinking about travelling the world to see new places after getting my degree and I guess my first destination will be India to get over my crippling anxiety ohhhhhh no I’m already nervous 😩 after India I think I’ll go to Nigeria and then Japan, Canada, Moscow, america, Mexico, Thailand, Korea.. so many places i hope I live long enough to see all of them 😁
@@Krolted Where are you starting from bro? The list you mention there include places I've eithrr visited and loved or are on my list for the immediate upcoming trips once easily accessible more so ..
@@Krolted why don’t you start easy and go to Japan first, nobody there seems to like socializing. Or just dive off the deep end and go to one of the densest places on earth with a sprinkle of actual danger
Chibo is the star of this episode. He spoke very good English for a market tout and he actually said "you are with me". That was a great assurance
I do not give a darn if this white boy gets ripped off. These people have messed over so many people. Dam his white ass.
You know someone has your back when they say that you are with them. That means don’t worry about anything, I got you.
He really is 💯
@@sammynatal6471 then you remember that time in Argentina he was taken to a trap House by some junkies lmfao
@@Basuko_Smoker
Yea!
No roof!
I'm surprised he survived that Rosario trip... Sketchy area but good peeps
Ngl
You picked up Yoruba crazy fast
Pronunciation is largely off but you can communicate
That's a real talent man
Yeah. He is using the American accent lol, but he's a fast learner.
That dude can survive anywhere, i like him
@@SL-pg4dh Yoruba, just like Mandarin and Cantonese, is heavy on the tone. Tone is very important in the language. A single word can mean several different things depending on the tone used. Hence the original comment.
@@jeanvaughn7372
Very true!!!
I'm a Nigerian all my life i still can't speak shvt
Hahaha!!, welcome to my home 🇳🇬 Nigeria 😅, and weldone!!, that’s CMS Area props to you for going there, even I have to eat and be mentally ready to go there it’s an organized chaos 🤣🤣
Hahaha... organized chaos.. 🤣🤣🤣
I swear oooo 🤣
Lol. True🤣
So true 🤣🤣
That's not CMS area,you don't even know Lagos like you claimed . Dude was no where near CMS actually.
Man I'm impressed with the effort you put into learning the language.... good for you
How's his Nigerian? When he speaks Spanish, he sounds like a straight up Argentinean. It's impressive if he's a white American who didn't take Spanish lessons in school. Even if he did take Spanish lessons, he speaks it with an Argentinean accent that wouldn't be taught in America. I'm American with Hispanic parents that only speak Spanish and his Spanish might even be better than mine!
@@giggityeffyou
I'm learning Spanish now- Tommy used the immersion method- like an actor staying in character.
I bet you had great upbringing with Hispanic parents. Very good manners & ethics
The fight was the icing on the cake. You had the full experience 😂😂😂😂
That dude at the motor park made my day, he literally threw President Buhari under the bus in 3 seconds of hearing the name BUHARI 🤣😅🤣😅😂👍🏾
Not surprised. Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅
In today's ethnic tense Nigeria , President Buhari is responsible even for a shooting at the next corner.
As much as I hate our president,But tbh that's not Buhari fault, it's the governor to blame.
@@oluwadamilola6233 of course, Sanwo Olu is the reason why cooking Gas, Eggs, Beans, Rice, Fuel and Dollar is rising in exchange rate. 😕😕
Josey and Sabbatical, the Dream Team.
When Josey features you know its gonna be a good video.
😀
Yes Yes
@@Lynn-ip9sh gona hit 2M views too ,😀😀
Josey looks exhausted. Poor thing. My mom use to move around like this everyday.
This is a part of Lagos at its bare. I love the confidence and wisdom you and Josey move with. Was glad to see situations diffused. This is really easier to watch than do like someone earlier said. You really picked up the language fast and dat is helping a lot. Weldone guys…
I love this guy. He learned the local language to adapt to the local environment. With that, he can not be cheated by the locals.
He is a wise guy.
You will always be cheated by the locals. But that’s part of being a tourist. A little bit is like a tip the way I see it. In my experience, if you haggle too hard someone will outright rob you. If you don’t haggle enough they will outright rob you. It’s a line you have to be aware of. When I was in the navy I found it was better it pay a guide his wage. He will save you many times over just in the safety dept.
He actually did really well. I thought he would be cheated a lot more. Kudos to him for being a sharp guy.
This is just beautiful...I miss home. Thank you for supporting the african hustle, helping the security guy was cool. You have a good soul. Bargaining skills is getting better. Your lady team member is a wise move 👌. Keep the a$$ kickers # handy, just in case- Guanxi style. Enjoy Nigeria.
What a masterpiece, episodes keep getting better and better
This white guy I can see you enjoy the poverty misery life everyone is angry and begin
man thats facts i enjoy watching all of them
@@justusmarthin853 if those people look miserable to you you have a very negative out look on life.
@@matthewcncsutton5283
That's the beauty of those people. Poor but have a love for life.
that dudes t-shirt was PRETTY FIRE! not gonna lie
i'd wear it no doubt
Josey was a big help on his journey..so nice of here!! God bless u guys n be safe out there!! Shout out from LA ca to my motherland AFRICA🌍
Your friend is a whole vibe. I love her energy!
The way chibo was making sure you guys were secure is honestly insane. Good intentions love seeing that. Love your content.
The other guy talking to chiboy was just joking with him it's a normal thing.
the way he makes him beleive he was in danger was effectively insane . just another to take more money .
Yoh lots of love enjoying our african shit man ❤❤❤🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Hey Tommy thanks for choosing this part of vlog... Really lovely... Try and explore more part of Nigeria like Ife
That was awesome, you should have a million plus subs
Looking fly Tommy! Miss Josey is stunning. More please.
Josey is awesome. So much joy in an ocean of madness.
So she's the Ocean? or??
@@danielatsenokhai3899 Sorry, my English doesn't translate well... Nigeria is an ocean of madness. Reminded me of some areas of NYC when I was a kid.
At least she got some nice shorts, and a bag of water! Bag Lol!
@@snake_eyes_garage
What you said is very clear and concise in the English language.
I don't know what @Daniel Atsenokhai found confusing in your comment.
@@gardensteps Metaphors and similies dont really translate well in other languages or its not a concept thats understood by people who know the basics of english
I love your energy much respect from New Zealand May God protect you on your travels.
I found myself laughing throughout this video. I used to work in one of the high rise buildings (pre-Covid) and I must say that navigating through the busy streets from the car park to my office everyday, is usually a challenge. Thankfully, I now work from home, since Covid happened and all the chaos is avoided. Hi Josey!
You 2 travel more together. You are the dream team, on the way to 1 million subs
dream team indeed 👍👍👍
you see them flirting? yeaaaaaaaaaaa
Lofl buckled nearly 1 million subs no where here 😂😂😂
100% Ever Since She joined him I cant stop watching.
Josey is beautiful. Shes always so happy and always smiling.
...and laughing, even at inappropriate times. Probably a diffusing nervous laugh at times. Nice lass though
Tommy .Josey is the best girl for you. Hold her tied. There is only one Josey. If you lost her, you lost the whole world.
I like when she did a little hydration, dance when she drank the bag of h20. 💃
All those guys hitting on Josey 😂😅
@@SuperToocool4skool I would too she's a beautiful woman. Tommy don't let her get away from you.
Loving the VLOGS man only just started watching and they are so intresting
Sabbatical be rocking the Ankara like his an African man .. one love man ✊❤️
When video lasts 25 minutes and you get the feeling that it only lasted 10 minutes it means it is very good
Sabbatical is the best African Vlog channel on YT 💎! Love from a Somali 🇸🇴 in America 🇺🇸!
Ya born in somalia ? Oh shit so sorry man
Let me guess ilhan Omar is your representative
@@horstebreedow8608 She's doing a good job at it.
@@antnam4406 at what?
Nah wode maya, miss trudy and tayo Aina
Tommy! Love your work. GOD BLESS you my friend!
Shout-out to the security guard who didn't want a cash gift for doing his job. That's a rarity
Wow it's very hectic, well done, I hate markets especially in the heat. The worst was in Morocco, they follow you absolutely everywhere and will not leave you alone until you shout at them. Markets in China are also very aggressive with foreigners.
China is well protected by the police, Morocco on the other hand...
@@vojvoda-draza It's true, but china police hate foreigners so it's not good either ! I see that on a documentary about the biggest china market and if you have any problem it's always the fault of the stranger..
Nigerian sellers are aggressive with everybody. Even the average Nigerian is tired of Nigerian sellers
@@Peterjev6 Not exactly the seller,those people following you around aren't the seller, they're meant to direct you to their shops, if you follow them just know price of things will be tripled cos they will get their pay,so it's better to just ignore them, i know it can be tough though.
I experienced that in Morocco. Not pleasant. This one has some humor and banter to it so if you can play the game you might be OK. Helps to have someone from the area with you.
I love Josey's chuckle at the end when Tommy is strutting his stuff all Swag in his new tailored outfit...so cute!!!
what does all swag mean
Meaning of “Swag” in ^ comment above ^: Sabbatical is expressing “confidence,”while being very well-dressed, in that handsome, fashionable men’s Ankara attire ! 👍🏽🤓👍🏽
@@c.r.harris thank you
@@user-me3cl8nd7w 👍🏽🤓👍🏽 You are very welcome
I was going to comment on Josey also, but you did so well ! Truly love her giggle, she must have a great sense of humor.
PS. Very nice physic. 🤗
Lovely heart warming video. Well done dude and dudette.👐
The best Travel TH-cam channel - focusing on locals and showing the real cultures. Thanks for sharing all countries. Friendly dude too.
Thank you for this gritty and hectic and thrilling adventure
It was hectic to watch, wasn't it? lol!!!
Another wild excursion, man! Cheers and safety in your travels.
One of your best videos. The ending was great…
Love your content wish the video was longer 🇳🇬
I am really proud of my country...Most Nigerians are good people, if you tell Nigerians you don't money and you are hungry as a foreigner believe me ..you'd have something to eat ....plus we have Good Vibes....most times optimistic..🙌🏾
Agree totally. Especially on the country sides. Wonderful country, lovely people .
That is a fact
Lol most scammers in the world, come from that shithole.
@@waso778 Laughing about what? Trying to offend Nigerians with your naming of a country who's cultural roots may be older than the shithole you are living in? Is there a statistical report which supports your claim? Or do you THINK that this is the case?
@@waso778 Do not Label the country as a whole..show me a country that doesn't have badside..
Sorry if you've ever had a bad experience with the Nigerians you have met,i hope you meet sincere ones...
Sending you Love and Light Fernando💓...
From a Nigerian🇳🇬✊🏿 that wish u well.
I'm a Nigerian and I love this 😂😂
But the way of life is different in other states/regions..Lagos is over populated and a very busy place..lovely vlog👏
My head would be spinning if I spent a few days in that market!! Craziness..
You should be proud to be from such a great country & people.
I'd spend the whole day shopping. things there are a very good price compared to these overpriced as things over here US
This is some awesome Schiff! Well done.
So glad you finally get tailor to make your Ankara. Looking super cute in it Tommy
Aggressiveness is a way of life in Nigerian market. They don't find that offensive, and they don't even notice they are being aggressive to foreigners who aren't used to such lifestyle, so to adapt you have to be aggressive too. Love the way you reacted to the woman who pulled you aggressively for holding a camera.
Exactly and she was like ‘fair enough’ lol
Yea they make Las Vegas timeshare salesmen seem soft
Rule number one in Nigeria don't give a fuck
Thats just dumb... Aggressive is aggressive no matter what. You cant excuse that type of behaviour.
He's just seen as food it is what it is. In America they ain't selling shit in the ghetto but drugs and its 50-50 your getting robbed if your not from there especially if your not a local white. Media makes these places seem violent but they are just poor. America is violent and they have the finances to buy drugs and weapons it makes it a whole different animal
1:38 that man is wearing a Glasgow Rangers shirt, a football team based in Scotland, never thought I'd see my teams shirt being worn in downtown Lagos, that really caught me off guard lol 🏴
Used to have one myself
@Blue Skies Media bro wtf I'm subbed to your channel, what a coincidence man
Football is number 1 in Nigeria
Imagine what it's like being an American and seeing a tshirt celebrating your favorite American Football team's Championship Victory! The problem is... they didn't actually win the Championship, that year they lost it lol
Nothing unusual Rangers are a massive football club and Nigerians are the numbers 1 football fan. They love their football shirts more than us in Scotland.
Being an American I am SO interested in stuff like this. I love learning about other ways of life. I hope some day I get to experience it as well and help people out
Love Nigeria from Egypt 🇪🇬🇳🇬. I Hope things will get better for them.
Love watching these from your perspective.
Honestly I have so much fun watching your videos. I feel like I’m there with you and Josey traveling and It feels like I’m in a little adventure myself.
I’ve been watching your videos for HOURS.
THANK YOU so much for filming your trips around the world 🌍 🌎
Omg, you never disappoint in your adventures, 🙏🏽 guy, great video, ❤️ 🇳🇬
Great video, as always! And wonderful to see Miss Josie!! ❤
The ending was classic!! New duds and all!!! Sharp dressed man!!!!
Please don't take off that beautiful attire
He is ZZ Top !!!
Great guys 🤣💪🏽 Nice content.
So chaotic and energetic. I can feel the heat.
Thank you for sharing. 👍👍
Uncle Tommy is gangster to the core
Gangster? How?
He is tough and smooth at the same time!!! Mister Cool!!!
He low-key is.
And low key hilarious lol quick wit
That boy looking fresh with that gangsta walk at the end😂
He is a legend, well traveled and understands the locals and ghettos of Africa.
I need 10 hours of sleep right now. I'm exhausted just from watching.
I love how there is always one person who is super friendly that just takes it upon themselves to show you around and looks after you. It looks like fun to just wander around here , i am very curious and would just talk to everyone . I love how colourful all the stalls are and the clothes are so vibrant
The hustle is real in Nigeria gotta love it…Love the video Tommy once again you you have one of the best TH-cam channels…Nigeria is off the hook!!! Love my people…
You seem to always find the chillest guides and helpers, it's a gift :)
New subscriber awesome to find you. Dinosaur Colorado USA saying hello and thank you for sharing. 😀👍🤙
Great video and choose of material for your Ankara. You look DAPPA! xxx
The way you pick up languages it's really impressive!
Not kidding! How’s he do with other languages, I wonder.
This was chaotic! Big up Sabbatical! Keep em coming
Love your videos
Awesome tour of Lagos!
Uncle Tommy the real G.. keep on enjoying Africa. Love from +254🇰🇪
I can't wait for the opening of Tommy's museum: baseball caps from around the world. Where the word hat is placed beneath every exhibit in the language that he used to get it.
Tommy should let us vote 🗳 on his next African country tour and we can try to provide a guid for him depending oh which country because there are a lot of Africans that follow you on your channel LIKE ME that are in American 🇺🇸 I hate to see my guy pay someone just to direct him to a store
My new fav channel
Yo u have some raw ass footages on here!! Subbed
Nice threads dude. Thanks for taking us on another wild adventure! I sort of get how u have fun and the market vibe. I lived in a really small place in rural Jamaica was the only white man for miles. This is so amped up from that but i love watching. Thanks Tommy and miss Josey 👍
Bro been eagerly awaiting your upload! Keep them coming. You're an inspiration.
Loved this video❤️
Tommy you're a very brave man!!! May God bless you and Nigeria 🇳🇬
In Nigeria, negotiations it’s always allowed.
Don’t get cheated and feel free to negotiate any price given to you
What a great video...so crazy! You handled it well..reminds me of being in Jamaica...ruthless sellers! Nice Strut!!
Cool video. That place looks great.
Great video, and great outfit my brother, be safe
I couldn’t put up with all that. I’m glad you did it for us because I’m sure this is more entertaining to watch than do. 😄 ✌️
I had waited..... i love your work brother much love From Kenya🇰🇪
i am really enjoying your videos, i wish americans here will be half as interactive to me as nigerians are to you
I thoroughly enjoyed this.
How can you have a bad day anywhere if Josey is with you! She’s so sweet and has beautiful personality. Great to have her along with you Tommy. She’s better than any security guard or body guard!💯🎯
Amaaaazing! I could never thank you enough.
Loved going through this area through your video- thank you
I love how this guy is responding people...an example is that guy that asked him if he wanted to buy wears🤣
Honestly my new favorite travel channel
Dude! That is for sure a good look on you. The kaftan with the sunglasses, I am definitely chuckling. Thanks!
Agreed, you just need confidence and shades to rock any outfit 💯
Such a beautiful experience & the people are so friendly fellow African brothers & sisters.
Thank you again for posting your videos. Please go to Trinidad next when you get a chance.
@Tommy....you rewind my old memories of staying in Lagos for 4 years. The outfit at the end suits you. Keep Walking.
Tommy walker 😀
the outfit turned out well...good choice
Love the outfits. Reminds me of the special Call of Duty weapon camos that you need to unlock.
It was quite an experience just by watching this.That Ankara looks dope on you dude.
My hustle zone that year ..good to see this again ! Love from 🇬🇧
I'm patiently waiting for the next episode.
Love your show from Toronto🌟🎯💯📈📈📈📈🙏🏽❤️
Bro you're a fkn genius amazing shots about the fight in the end 🤣love it taking the risk
