Your humble and non-judgmental approach to everything is truly commendable. Thank you for not only showcasing but also sharing the rich history of each place.
@@Ani258-s9r hi Ani, thanks so much for commenting such kind words. It’s very nice to hear. I lived in Mumbai for a bit before Covid and will certainly be coming back to make some videos. Amazing India, amazing Nigeria 🙏 🇮🇳 🇳🇬
I’m from Nigeria (born and raised), you’ve shown me more of Nigeria than i have seen all my life living in Nigeria 😂 Absolutely love your channel. Keep it up.
Hi William 👋 We met on Saturday, I dropped you off around Lekki, I own the blue Kia. I didn't know you featured in Breath of Life, I really should see that movie 😂 You're really living my dream the way you're exploring Nigeria, if you want to know more about Ogunde you should check out his museum in Ososa Ogun state
My guy! Thanks so much again and was good gisting with you. I didn’t know, thanks so much for sharing. Wil let you know when I plan to head to Benin City, Edo State 🙏 🇳🇬
I'm sure you've gotten to try more Nigerian food than I have at this point 😅 Ibadan is a very unique city in the sense that it's instantly recognizable through the brown roofs but then these roofs are old and worn, it'll be interesting to see how the city modernizes in a way that doesn't take away this part of Ibadan... Awesome video as always
Thank you Fiyin, as always! You’re right, it would be a shame to lose their brown roofed identity but they’re due another Cocoa House. Lots more to come, hope you keep enjoying them 🙏 🇳🇬
@@Waxbill wow your Yoruba don pass 100 level o Your ready for 200 level🤣 Nice 👌. Are you hibernating in Lagos - autumn/winter get away 🤣. You need to post more videos o - I watched all your vids within a few hours. You know like you do with box-sets. So please don’t keep your audience waiting too long 😎
Omg, i knew i have seen your face somewhere whilst watching the movie on Amazon prime, but i couldn't place it😅 Your face kept confusing my head. Now i know you are the one i watch on youtube, it just didn't click. Eku did a wonderful job with that movie, winning awards too. Great movie. I always love the infusion of history in your videos and you are always on point. Good job Will, you're doing well.
I saw the bike man's face from behind and i knew he was involved in an accident with his motorcycle. Glad you asked him about it. Feel sad that a man of that age had to ride motorcycle commercially to afford a living 😢
Mr Nelson works for my friend’s family at their residence. He just took me out on the bike to explore Ibadan a little further. Very nice man. Hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏 🇳🇬
It's getting very interesting Will... I would like to join. Pls find time to come to Bauchi State in the Northern Nigeria... To explore the tomb of the Nigeria's first Prime Minister (Sir, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa), Yankari Game reserves, Emir's palace and so many more... Will really u ar gonna enjoy and you will benefit from the State's exploration. Thanks.
Nice one Will. You are gonna go places. Pls when Nigerians or infact anyone adresses you as Boss, never say you are not their boss. It is like degrading them, since they feel in place and happy to call you boss....one more thing....calm down and learn your lines....its not so hard...only a bit of concentration. Nollywood can give you a good part time income...and i see acting looks good on you. keep it up. Greetings from Germany
Noted sir. Mr Nelson was just kind to take me around his city. And for the lines… this was a major part. I need some acting lessons if I’m going to take on any serious roles. But thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed. Lots more to come 🙏 🇳🇬
Wonderful soundtrack and video overall. Loved every bit of it I must say. Although I must say at some point of the voice over, you must have been really close to the microphone, making it have a lot of plosives and all 😅
Thank you! Music is by a great Lagos guy called Matthew, his links are in the description. And appreciate the feedback on the VO. Will make sure to rectify 🙏 🇳🇬
You're very "Nigerian", by having your hands in many things to make money. The graphics and film footage included in the historical run down was really cool. 😎 What was the drummer saying in English?
Kind of you to say. Not much money in small parts sadly but great experiences indeed. Kind of you to say, editor Jude doing a great job here in Lagos. Aha! I’m glad someone else struggled. It was the welcome tune to the Nigerian Radio News. Do you recognise it?
@@Waxbill Nope, because I hadn't heard it for a while. I don't listen much to "mainstream" outlets these days. Your Hausa is very slick, greeting that passerby was effortlessly impressive.
That's the history of Ibadan, Ibadan was the Lagos of today, you know Lagos is one of the oldest cities in Yorubaland, Ibadan used to be a military post created by the military Generals from all Yoruba tribes after the fall of Oyo, it had the best warriors, and it was looking like the next Oyo empire before the brits came, that's why you'll wonder Yorubas protecting every inch of Yorubaland especially Ibadan and Lagos, cos they were both founded by different Yoruba tribes, buh the first settlers in Lagos, were the Aworis, ijebus had the Epe, ibeju down to ikorodu, Egbas came in, Igbominas, Oyo, ijeshas
@@WaxbillMy brother, all is good, thank God. Canada is starting to get cold but that's a given 😄 Did I miss ur Lagos Nightlife video or did u not post it yet?
A white man and most foreigners are treated very well with respect in Nigeria, but we Africans don’t get the same in return in western countries. We are subjected to racism.
