A great documentary.
As a Nigerian living in the south, sometimes we don’t grasp the full extent of the psychological damage Boko Haram has caused to our brothers and sisters in the North. My thoughts and prayers are with them
@Asy Darlyn, thank you for the compassionate understanding of life in the North of Nigeria. Like you, l do pray that our country will be restored and healed one day soon.
Most northerners don't also grasp the extent of boko haram because I've met most that support them because they're killing off christians and spreading Islam so no I don't give a fck since they don't care about us southerners and actually hate us
@@akan7443 You met most? Almost 30 plus million people. Okay if u say so... Just say you don't like the North due to their ethnicity and religion.
@@akan7443 better calm down and stop looking for who t blame for your life problems
@@ore.kaykay1698, @Akan is telling the truth about what the Northern people think of Southerners. Why is Buhari doing nothing to protect Christians from his fellow Fulani terrorists? I wonder if they are acting on Buhari's orders.
The women are so beautiful omg!! Praying that this city recovers and moves forward without Boko Haram.
Nigerians women are some of the most beautiful women in the world
@liam Anderson lol how u know tho
@@thinblacknoodles every race has beautiful woman not just Nigerian
@@Bebedollie you lack English comprehension, don't you?
I don't think they know that otherwise they would not go out of their way to lighten their skin.
To terrorise your own people is something I’ll never understand.
Its hard to change the situation because the boko haram really want a share of power in Northern Nigeria💔
Islam is evil
Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, all the same.
Hausa and Fulani are not the same people. Bokoharam is definitely Fulani and funded by the Fulani elites.
@new soul no it is not. The Hausa people are beautiful they deserve better. But they were blind to the warning. Fulani are not our friends
I could listen to the photographer lady talk all day… her voice is so soothing.
and I hope it stays that way because upon information and belief after my thorough investigation of research the Chinese people like it that way your new Masters will be totally in control by the year 20 26 by that time you should be back in bondage you idiots
Same. I watched while high and her voice just sounded so beautiful
So inspired by the fashion designer! They are so talented and the quality of the garments is very impressive! I am always amazed by the resilience of women in war-torn countries.
Ok but do we all agree that both the groom and bride are GORGEOUS. Like damn, what a good looking couple
Fatima is beautiful!!! I also loved it when that girl said bokoharam isn’t Islam. 👏👏👏
BH say they represent real Islam.
My heart hurts so bad for the woman who lost her son that she didn't ask to have but never wanted to lose. Life can be so damn unfair. I hope that there is some sort of beauty for her somewhere.
mind you she was 15 when she was forced into being a wife and subsequently a mother. The trauma is simply one that words cannot express
That's my state my city...as I'm typing this we still in black out with no electricity for 5 months...we hope and pray everything come back to normal..and yea we come all out for our weddings in maiduguri...
I am sorry you have to go through that.
@@bd3825 thank you 🙇
Love and light ❤️
@@twirrybird8039 thank you 🙇🙇
Your name Kasuga means "A spring day" in Japanese. I pray that your city will see a time beautiful as springtime soon!
One thing im confused about this video is that she keeps saying that throwing money is just a show of social status when its really just Nigerian culture whether in the North or South it is how we honor who is dancing. The lack of research when it comes to something so ingrained into nigerian gatherings is kind of ridiculous. We also dont give as many gifts like western culture that is for your parents to do with bridal trunks and dowry(husband pays) so we spray money that the couple will use according to their needs together.
Exactly
Well said dear. They should learn to do more research concerning people's culture
Most western journalists are too lazy and unbothered to do proper research on other cultures different from their own.....what has spraying money got to do with social status? Even poor people do it. Smh
I appreciate your clarification because I thought that she was wrong about that.
I'm starting to think it's an African thing because we do the same thing in East Africa.
I lived in Kano in 2015, and I know things were worse in Maiduguri. I'm glad times are improving, and I hope they will get better and better. Hausa people are so wonderful.
Maiduguri people are not Hausa , they are mostly Kanuri people!
Buba wanting to take Fatima to school blew my spirit.
Hope he fulfils that
God willing he will 🙏🏾💕
lol, that would never happen. Just for the camera.
He most likely will. Despite wha u hear Women in Nigeria have it very very good.
Thank you for reminding me why I wear my uniform and pickup my gun every morning....to protect inoccent people, with love from Kenya
the underreported world videos are so interesting, we would never hear about the people shown here if it wasn't for UW. thanks for sharing their stories.
Admire the resilience of the people of this community. Loving the Beautiful attire, colours and patterns, northern Nigeria fashion style Rocks!!!
Thank you for continuing to bring attention to issues of other Cultures and Countries. I wouldn’t have known about half the issues because they aren’t covered by mainstream media. Your messages have been shared with me and others. That message will now be spread by myself. I recommend this channel all the time.
The problem is that some Nigerians don't even like each other, the government is fighting boko haram, bandits the self proclaimed independence area's. Corruption and so on so it's not easy. Fighting against terrorism is the work for every Nigerian.
Boko Haram terrorists arnt Nigerians. They're islamic guys from predominantly islamic neighboring countries like Niger and Chad.
Finally! Something positive about my dear country, something to hope for, something to look forward to.
I love my country.🇳🇬
I hope so too 🇳🇬❤️❤️
Such a beautiful country, such beautiful women, and such beautiful spirits. Thank you for bringing this to us 🙏🏾☮️
Too many Nigerians in the South of the country are oblivious to this reality. Bridging our numerous divides is key to the return of peace across Nigeria.
Lies.
Who is sponsoring terrorists and bandits? Who is negotiating Ransome for bandits? Who is pampering them? Why are they not bombed? So let us not DECIEVE ourselves. WHO RECURITS THEM TO THE ARMY? WHO GIVES THEM FOOD? SO MY DEAR- YOU HAVE A TERRORIST GOVT, WORKING WITH BOKO HARAM.
Good point samuel. Ignorance is a disease
@@familyvideosmakingmemories3590 do some research and answer the questions you asked. You must be consumed by hatred for you to insinuate that the government is responsible for bokoharam.
Well Samuel, a lot of these problems are self inflicted !
That’s why boko haram is still very much localised to the region!
As a Nigerian who lives in the southwest state of Lagos state, I weep for my country as I am unable to ever learn or meet these beautiful people from the same country as myself.
We live like 3 different countries in the same country. 💔💔💔
I honestly weep for my country.
U no Sabi road to Maiduguri neh?
This is so moving!! Living in this same country and my fellow Nigerians going through this trauma. God bless our land.
Fatima's husband seems so sweet! He is completely in love with her and I love that the first thing he wants for her is for her to pursue her studies, instead of viewing her as simply his caretaker or a baby machine. I am sure they will have a very happy life together! xx
For a woman to suffer the way the woman who lost her son did. Her story reverberated through my whole heart and left me with tears in my eyes.
I worked in various camps in Borno state and this story you have heard is the least of them. The government is not doing enough to solve this problem and the people are left with wounds that will never heal for life. Everyone living in Maiduguri and rural areas of Borno lost someone close. Lets hope this problem ends. It is hell.
Wow. Thanks to the entire crew and those who contributed with their stories to enlighten the other side of the world, Maiduguri is suffering but, it SHALL RAISE AGAIN.
Buba take care of Fatima. I'm South African based in UK nd feel shameful for our way of life always complaining nd mouning over stupid stuff.. to see people rejoice over little small sound system at Fatima wedding touched me 😍 I'm not Muslim nd don't support polygamy but was just happy to her happy
Fatima's joy was so touching and genuine. No bridezilla there. In all that she was so beautiful.
Thank you so much for such a lovely documentary..not focusing only on the negative and actually allowing the proponents to tell their story themselves! Thank you.
Maiduguri is indeed beautiful! Just as its people and culture. I pray the peace and vibrancy for which it was once known for be restored completely.
This report warmed my heart and has earned a subscriber in me.
Thank you for this informative & encouraging report. May God guide, strengthen and bless all the beautiful and courageous people at the heart of this report.
Reporter is phenomenal, she adapts to every segment effortlessly and captures the true essence of the personal stories and connects well with the interviewees
The lady photographer is so well spoken 👌
Great video! It’s so nice to see the beautiful weddings and some semblance of peace. Too often western media only highlight the violence and poverty, leaving out the culture, ceremonies and culture.
My sisters are so beautiful! Keep your head up. I have no words, I will just send you all good vibes. Wish you all well.
Thank you!
Lovely report, it was emotional to watch, but I was so glad to see the happy endings. thanks for the upload ❤️
Much love to my ppl in Naija!!!🇺🇸💚🖤❤
Ladies are so beautiful and their dresses are gorgeous 😊😊
The bride looked beautiful, I hope she is happy now. Aysha and all the women in the documentary are very brave women. I wish them the best. 🌼🌻🌺
I’m happy for the women who get to live thier lives I like the fashion and they are really stunning women
This is an amazing report. Thank you for telling a full story!!🙏🏾
Thank you for this glimpse into another world.
The people are so beautiful their traditions are so important to keep. I hope God helps to protect them to live in peace they have suffered enough. The clothing is fantastic.
Nigerian women are beautiful
Some of the most beautiful women in the world, regardless of everyone who likes to bash us 😍
Nope , only the fulani and some Hausa girls that’s it.
@@brownbbydoll1777 nope. all Nigerian tribes women are beautiful ☺️
@Fatimaxn Barry they’re Kanuri and probably also Shuwa. It’s Borno state.
@@rose-blossoms Exactly! We’re literally elite😍
Such beautiful women and people! I pray this city overcomes and recovers to a place of joy, peace and freedom like they've never seen. Blessings to you all!
Come through white savior and spend your money. Just don’t touch the children.
@@globalcitizen740 with that ugly remark you’re not from there are you? 😂👍🏽
Can't talk about your father's murder without shedding tears, I feel for the children.
This has so many parallels with Afghanistan and the Taliban.
Same in Somalia. We have the same virus Alshabab..
"Regaining joy through the pain"--true true!
Thank you for sharing these real stories. 💔
Congratulations to all the beautiful couples and their families! Here's to continued peace in Nigeria! ❤
There isn't peace now, so it can't be continued.
This was so emotional to watch...I pray for the preservation of peace in Nigeria.
**nigeria
Ameen.
Good luck to them all in the fight against Boko Haram. Nigeria is a successful country of Christians and Muslims with English as the common language. I wish it well.
It's far from successful. It has many languages.
Wonderful documentary.
I hope Nigeria gets better ❤️🇳🇬.
You definately have my like and subscription....More of this please
I enjoy watching videos of the weddings keep them coming.
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 67 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 🖤🖤🖤....
Thank God everything is fine now May God bless and help them 🇬🇭
This country is so full of intelligent, hark working and kind people. I wish them the best in the future and that things continue to get better.
That report was so good to know that out of evil comes good. I also love the resilience of the people and victims of the evil one BH and their courage in bouncing back.
So beautiful. I just wish she used foundation that actually matched her skin colour. 🙈🙈
Right. She looked golden 😬
11:00 her voice is so calm
I really loved this words aren't enough! Thank you!
Splendid documentary 👏🏾
i felt angry when the interviewer held 2 fingers laughed and said " u will be 2nd wife ' u can see the lady laughed with her uncomfortably and it was really disrespectful
Thank you UnreportedWorld.
EXCELLENT REPORTING!
Well done team. One Love.
Yousra, you did great job. I love your proper pronunciations of Arabic words. Keepin it real 😊
I really enjoyed this! I was really happy for the last bride and her husband.
Nigerian women 🤝 beauty
They don’t like you Americans.
@@Jeremy-sj3pr I literally see you everywhere, and who told you that 😭
It's almost unbelievable the strong perseverance spirit of normally of the people amidst human evilness.
great docu...thanks
When Binta said that "There will be a blast but the next day things will continue. There will be weddings." I felt that. Same thing happens in Afghanistan.
Polygamy is not seen as something good in the west, but Buba truly uses his "right" to marry more than one woman for what it was initially intented in islam: helping single moms or widows
Yep traditionally on Africa polygamy was also used to marry your brothers widow. But it's because women could not inherit land. So pros and cons
Let me make something clear. Polygamy is not supported in Quran.
Let's see
Now before I answer your.
Let's see how the quran describe itself.
CLEAR GUIDANCE (HUDA)
The perfect guidance to lead mankind aright
002.002
“This Book (Arabic: Kitabu), there is no doubt in it, is guidance (Arabic: Huda-n) to those who guard (against evil) / fear God
EXPLAINED IN DETAIL (FUSSILAT)
041.003
"A Book, whereof the verses are explained in detail / distinguished (Arabic: Fussilat); a Quran in Arabic, for people who understand"
011.001
"A. L. R. (This is) a Book, with verses perfected, moreover explained in detail / distinguished (Arabic: Fussilat) from One Who is Wise and Well-acquainted (with all things)"
CLEAR EXPLANATION OF ALL THINGS (TIBIANA LEKULLI SHAYIN)
The perfect and only source of clarification
016.089
“And on the day when We will raise up in every people a witness against them from among themselves, and bring you as a witness against these and We have revealed the Book to you explaining clearly / clarification of everything (Arabic: tibiana lekulli shayin), and a guidance and mercy and good news for those who submit”
tibiana (clarification) lekulli (of every) shayin (thing)
Please note that the Arabic word 'tibiana' is formed from the root 'Ba-Ya-Nun' and forms words such as 'bayan' as we will note in more detail in section 7 below. It has inherent meanings of proof, evidence, demonstration, manifest truth and an argument that is clear.
It is important to remember that from a Quran's perspective, God does not ‘omit’ things which are necessary for human guidance or run out of words.
006.038
“There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you. Nothing have we omitted from the Book, and they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord in the end”
031.027
“And if all the trees on earth were pens and the ocean (were ink), with seven oceans behind it to add to its (supply), yet would not the words of God be exhausted: for God is Exalted in Power, full of Wisdom”
From the above verse it is absolutely clear, that if crucial guidance for God's religion were necessary, it would have been expounded in the Quran. There is simply nothing omitted from the Quran which is necessary for the 'deen' of Islam (religion of Islam).
4:20 And if you wish to replace one wife with another, and you have given one of them a large amount, then do not take anything from it. Will you take it by falsehood while it is clearly a sin?
Quran 24:32
And marry the singles among you and the righteous among your male slaves and female slaves. If they should be poor, Allah will enrich them from His bounty, and Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
Let's break it down:
Rule #1 according to 24:32: Allah is asking us to marry only the single among us
Rule #2 according to 4:20: One wife can be replaced by another wife i.e. a divorce has to take place before one marries another wife
When a married male believer marries a second wife, the second wife would have broken the Rule #1 because he is already married and the married male believer also would have broken Rule #2 because he did not take a wife instead of another (divorce then marriage).
Single man ----> married man (first wife). Now as soon as this married man marries SECOND wife without divorcing first wife, he breaks Rule #2. So the state of polygamy won't even be reached in the first place (without breaking the rules) to have Rule #2 applied to a polygamous situation.
"helping" single moms or widows*
Prove for yet g
Yrh say
@@centi50s Sentiment aside, please check your Qur'an, there is a verse that clearly enjoins polygamy. unless of course your own version of Islam and Qur'an doesn't. Otherwise Prophet Muhammad (peace of Allah be Upon Him) wouldn't have practiced it.
Good work! Well done.
That young lady at the camp had the most distant look in her eyes when talking about her son...
❤️🥰🥰 from somalia to Nigeria 👈💪🙏✅
May Northern Nigeria find peace 🥺❤️
This’s exactly what Alshabab have been doing in Somalia
I love the resilience of our Africans I pray this this terrorist grps are demolished soon
The bride is stunning 😍
Too much make up and too light. That colonial grip is real
@@JanJan-pq4im oh you're right!?! I didn't know that Shuwa Arab women put on 10 layers of lighter make up as a wedding tradition. Guess I should look up other traditions that use skin lightening creams, which goes back centuries as well. Thanks for the education.
@@ld74624
Okay.
Thanks for the sarcasm. You were in fine fettle.
The second wedding, I know she's going to be well taken care off.
Very informative video about women conditions of Nigeria . Better Education Better Health facilities and Infrastructure make this country Peace and Prosperity . Good governence important .
I feel like there needs to be a gofundme page where viewers can contribute funds to go towards this community. How I wish that I can GIVE ANYTHING to these amazing humans
Amazing isn't the right word to describe these people.
Bravo. Some happiness at last.
There was no reason for the reporter to be laughing when the bride to be said she was going to be the 2nd wife very unprofessional, it may not be something people are used to in the West but laughing in someone's face like that is totally disrespectful and I'm a christian who does not support polygamy but each to their own.
So true!!
Yes I agree she didn’t have to laugh in her face
agreed. especially as she is a widow.
True Islam doesn't support polygamy
Now before I answer your.

This made my day thank you
May our Country Nigeria 🇳🇬be healed. Amin!
It is well!
From the wedding music and the bride wearing henna,seems that northern Nigeria is heavily influenced by the Arabic world....can someone please clarify... love Nigerians forever
That's right because the North is largely Muslim. Islam is the connecting link with Arabs. The same cultural influences can be seen in Niger and Sudan.
I noticed the same thing when I watched the wedding of a Nigerian prince. I think it’s related to shared religion/ neighboring countries etc.
You are right, there's long history of trade between northern Nigeria and the Arab wold. Islam was brought there in the eleventh century.
@@thinkerz8tipitina784 i was very surprised hearing sudanese (arabic) music during their weddings !!
It’s due to interactions that started in the 10th century.
Greetings its good to see the rich tradition of Nigeria i love the garments so colourful i love Africa!
I so much like this documentary, but I was very emotional about the story of those ladies in the school.
Yes that broke heart too I didn’t know when I started crying . Shame on those terrorists
It's amazing how beautiful and resilient these people are. Terrorists don't understand that this is what it means to be glorious.
