OMG the water falls looks absolutely divine & beautiful. Thank you @Tayo Aina ✊🏽for this amazing work and incredible history information. Calabar is beautiful 🤩 we look forward to visiting some day!!!!
Thanks so much Tayo Aina for visiting these historic sites which reveal the African history. Calabar is such a beautiful tourist destination for every African to visit.
We have a school in Jamaica that is named after this state (Calabar). It's funny, I dreamt I visited Nigeria last night. I have very strong spiritual tie to Nigeria that honestly, I don't understand. At certain times, I feel like something literally pulling me to Nigeria. It seems like the community where I come in Jamaica was settled by the Yoruba people. Because many of the people in the community have Yoruba first names. So, I assume that my paternal ancestors were Yorubas. But what is it that kept pulling me to Nigeria? Is it something spiritual?
Another great video. Excellent work. I’m guessing DW is an online channel. Mr Tayo - Happy that you are getting such collaborations. Excited to see Nigeria in a new light. All the best.
I heard Nigeria was planning to do the Year of Return, similar to Ghana. If this is true, your new job should be a tour guide. You have shown so many beautiful places in Nigeria. I want to be the first to sign up for your tours.
@@Tu51ndBl4d3 With this our massive population. Calling on African Americans to return is the last thing we will do. We are happy for you Ghanaians but we will definitely not copy.
Nigeria 🇳🇬 does not need any 'Year of Return'. Brazilians 🇧🇷, Americans, and others who wanted to return have been 'returning' since the beginning of the 20th Century.
Nigeria has beautiful people, culture and weather.We are RICHLY blessed by God..And by God's Grace,We will be blessed with a Good leader that will change the situation of Nigeria to a reasonable extent.Lovely Content ❤❤❤
Wow! I had no idea. I thought it was all over Nigeria. Thanks for this information. It’s in the book “Things fall apart”. There are many things I’m learning about Igbo people that I never knew. Yall even have special names for twins in Yoruba I’m told?
@@zeeqq105 we have names for twins.. the first one to come out is taiwo or taye, the second one is kehinde.. we have a town in yoruba land called igbo ora in oyo state which multiple birth record of twins in nearly every home and world capital of twins..
@@oneman.1780 That’s something how yall living side by side doing completely different things. How do you say “mind your damn business” without saying “mind your damn business”. Clearly this was a clear case of that. Thats crazy how it took an outsider to make them stop unaliving twins. It’s like we don’t believe anything unless “someone else” co-signs to it……. even today.
MARY SLESSOR has been one of my heroes for many years. She was all about loving others and doing her best for the people of Calabar - even dangerous "cannibals." Thank you for recognizing her and showing us the region where some of her courageous deeds were done. If you haven't read about her, consider reading one of her biographies. In fact, it would be wonderful to have a film made of her life!
My brother Tayo, I mean no disrespect, and I wasn't there, so I don't know for sure what Mary Slessor did. But, for me and because of the work I do, I am almost 100% sure that there is more to this story than meets the eye. She was not the only Scottish missionary in Calabar and it seems that she was "no angel", and was apart of the larger practice of sending European missionaries to Africa to "Civilize/Christianize" the so-called "savage/heathenistic" Africans to gain their trust and prepare the way for the colonizing of African countries and the stealing of African resources. And, these stories that are regurgitated and have not been fully scrutinized are why African people and other people around the world believe that Europeans are the Saviors of the African race.
Thank you! We Nigerians regurgitate stories that the slavers told us about our history. The mind game is strong unfortunately we are so gullible. Sad !
Thank you man! I’m Efik from Calabar. Long before Mary Slessor came to Calabar, the then Obong of Calabar has already made plans to abolish the killing of twins. I have the letters written by him as evidence. Mary Slessor is not my hero. She came on the same slave ship that the slave traders came in. I don’t consider such a person my hero.
2.40 - I'd be interested where all the "tea" plantations were located in the New World during the Slave Trade times. 🤔🙄 The Slave Trade and Slavery is a real stain on human history - and existed until very recently in Africa and the Middle East. But Museums like this will have a greater impact if they get their information strictly and coldly correct!
Mary Slessaor helped abolish the killing of Twins in Calaber and its environs NOT all of Nigeria.# Twins were revered and adored in western Nigeria/Yoruba land.
Great video, I really enjoyed the lush greenness on display. However, Mary Slessor could not have been responsible for the abolition of killing of twins in Nigeria because not every tribe in Nigeria killed twins! The Yorubas were never killing twins, in fact we love twins and have special orikis for them. Ms. Slessor was responsible for abolition of killing of twins only in regions like south south Nigeria where twins killing was practiced. Let's be careful not parrot these tired half-truths

Tayo Aina, you are phenonenal. Great Nigeria
Stayed in calabar and had opportunity to visit all this site they are truly wonderful,shade tears when I visited the slavery museum
Calabar needs good leadership to enhance its tourism potentials

Knowing Nigerians they’ll copy the idea than 6 years later said it had nothing to do with Ghana it was always a Nigerian thing 😂
@@Tu51ndBl4d3 😀😃😄 I am a seasoned woman and don't have much time to wait six years.

Year of return for who? Please disregard that fake news.

Well done Tayo
It's amazing to see how far you've come. Commendable in one word
Aina!!!!!! Great one. Here from your community post. ❤️ Your doing good Tayo !
If security improves, tourism will thrive in Nigeria especially Calabar

There is also Kwa falls in Cross riber state close to Calabar
Tayo, I honestly thought you not gonna come back home from Portugal. Wao. Welcome back to the native sand.
Love your vibe everyday
Naaah! Portugal can't nourish Tayo's soul!
Besides, his beautiful work is here !
Rooting for you Tayo !!!🎉
Very nice..... I thought you would also mention the monoliths in cross river state
His reports on Nigeria 🇳🇬 are always incomplete or inaccurate.
Big up Tayo
Tayo is just amazing
Mary slessor only stopped killing of twins in eastern part of Nigeria. We Yorubas from time of immemorial don’t kill twin. We even do party for them.
TRUE. Yoruba people embrace twins and multiple birth in their culture, it was only in Cross Rivers and Calabar culture that twin are rejected at birth

I hope can have funds to investment.
So nice view 😍

Twins were revered and adored in western Nigeria/Yoruba land.
💛
Tayo aino 🤗
Google translates tayo aino to "
what are we"
Is that correct?
Our fathers really suffered from these westerners😢
Sure did! After they had been rounded up, put in chains and sold to those devilish "Westerners" by their African neighbours! 😱
Your fathers who killed innocent twins (stupidly) who later got justice through Mary Slessor you mean?
______ stopped the killing of twins (a) no way (b) police and court (c)Mary slessor
Wow I like the place
Here for @TayoAina. He did a brilliant job. 👏

Big brotherly ✌️
Beautiful 😍
Wow wow
Calabar was established by the effiks not British
Hi Tayo, how do we contact you?
Ibo land
Nigeria needs to seriously clean up it’s image before talking about tourism promotion
Why? 😅 Which country has a clean name?
Maybe you think of UK. and others countries which traded with slaves!?
@@brankabrance7179 😅😅
Clean up? All the shootings in America haven't yet been cleaned up. You don't know what you are saying, honestly.
How ?
cant you go places actual nigerians built
