I normally don’t comment on videos but for this I just have to. Tayo has shown his immense love for his country with this documentary. Instead of spreading the negative narrative he has stayed neutral and still ends a tragic situation with a positive end. This is documentary filmmaking at its finest. As someone in the entertainment business this has inspired me to use my skills to show positivity and change the narrative about my country. Thank you Tayo and the entire team.
@@TayoAinaFilms You are most welcome! Whenever you decide to come to Jos, it would be a pleasure to host you. Have a good one and looking forward to your next masterpiece!
We definitely need positive stories, the thing with mainstream media is that they only tell bad news and don't follow up when things improve. I was surprised to see a vibrant city in this documentary.
You comment just added to my hope concerning Nigeria,Am glad am not alone on the quest for positive narrative of Nigeria.Aina you're amazing,God bless you for going all the way out, he'll keep you and preserve you.
@@Neddie2k I never knew the Nigerian government has made so much progress in retrieving the lost communities.God bless the military and God bless Nigeria!
I'm a Nigerian who lives in Nigeria. But it feels like I'm watching a documentary on another country. Some of us are really far off from reality in this country
when I was 5 my mother and I moved to Maiduguri from Germany, where she worked as a Pediatrician in the Miduguri Hospital. She passed away there two years later and I have never had the possibility to go back to a country and a city that has so many mixed emotions for me. Even though I have wanted to as a grown up, to put things into perspective. This documentary has left me deeply moved and in an odd way closer to this part of my childhood then I could come in the last 30 years. Thank you!
Great piece of content Tayo, I've traveled to Lagos Nigeria all the way from Mozambique once and I was impressed by the people, and how hardworking, smart, welcoming and humble Nigerians are. Completely different from what we usually see on Social Media, just like how truly Africans are, and the people you've shown in this video don't tell me otherwise. Keep up the good work! Hugs from a huge fan from Mozambique.
I need TH-cam to include you in the creators for change because this was impeccable! Probably one of the best stories I've head from an African about Africa and you handled it with so much dignity and the respect it deserves. You're doing so fantastic Tayo and I hope your platform reaches heights beyond our imagination and reach! I cried watching this and seeing the solutions that are already in place and all the hands that are on deck in terms of changing the narrative.
We need to tell our stories honestly. This thing of blaming any western people for telling our stories how they understand them is unfortunate, unless they are doing it deliberately which is very few who do that. The problem is that we are not telling our own stories in an honest manner and claiming we are "changing the narrative". We are not really changing the narrative but disguising it. We are still afraid as Africans to go deeper to root problem and deliver both sides of the story directly from the horses mouth, which the Westerners do well. We should not play victims when they do that we should change the narrative by covering what they covered in our own narrative but it must be as honest as possible instead of beautiful as possible.
It is like what the African journalists and content creators did when they were covering Zama-Zamas in South Africa portraying them as poor migrants who illegally go to abandoned or closed mines to dig for minerals. When the story was covered in the years before they portrayed them as victims who need protection from the state and who need to be legalised whilst hiding that they were causing destruction in the nearby neighbourhoods. Right now as we speak they have collapsed the South African miking industry and thwart off investors. Content creators and journalists are now caught in a limbo because they wanted to tell a beautiful but sad reality instead of tell the story it is. You can look at how zama zamas were documented on TH-cam in previous years and look at what is happening now. We as Africans are afraid to confront the truths of our story and we loke to edit so that it suits the "narrative". If we tell our stories as honestly as we can with insightful knowledge, and an impartial view we will change the narrative because what people will be seeing on TV will reflect what is happening on the ground. I applaud Tayo for taking this journey of journaling such events, it is important for our future.
Tayo You just set the bar with this episode. Clearly you have a real passion for journalism and not just Vlogging. 1 million subs on the way, you earned it bro. Keep it up.
Wow!! Although I am Nigerian from the southern part, I knew absolutely nothing about Borno state. The people even looked and sounded foreign to me. But this documentary really shed alot of light about our Northern brothers. The insurgents have really created a huge gap between the 3 major tribes. When you hear of gun men or heardsmen committing attrocities, you think it all the Fulanies or all the Hausas. Not knowing that they are the ones actually being oppressed by a few selfish people. You did a great job with this documentary. thanks for doing it.
Try to help us in telling your southern relatives the truth that the northerners are not their enemies We should come together to fight our true enemies God Bless Nigeria 🇳🇬🤝🏿 God Bless Africa 🌍✊🏿
I knew this and I'm a British born Nigerian not even living in Nigeria. I would say this is due to ignorance. I'm always debating with people from the south (mainly relatives) about this. What you have is an insurgency. We need to stop calling them Fulani herdsmen. It sounds ridiculous.
@@aliyuibrahim3046There is no one Nigeria. How naive are you to believe after how many years of independence somehow there can be prosperity now? Nigeria has no rule of law and is disintegrating. Why should someone give Fulanis sympathy when it was never given to Biafrans?
I am from the North but unfortunately i have never been to Borno state, But after watching this video seeing how this tragic insurgent has affected the people in borno and also affects us as nigerians in general i'm inspired to reach out and offer the little help i can. This is a very good work Tayo, keep it up and God bless you.
Your favorite question is: So you have a US Passport and left to start a farm in Africa, are you okay? Anytime you asked this question, I burst out laughing🤣🤣🤣. Don't worry, soon, you would ask me the same question. Thank you WODE MAYA and TAYO for showing us our own Africa unbiased.
I was posted to Borno last year for my NYSC at first I was scared but, after a year I didn't want to leave. I remember the day I left i cried, and honestly I don't mind going back. Thank you for this👏
When its time to rest not when army follow them in an out b4 daily bread u will like to stay bcs they want poeple to join dem no much indigine again many have gone
Big ups to the Nigerian Army for this huge sacrifice. Imagine leaving your home in the south to fight a war in the North and end up paying the Supreme price
I shed tears watching this. Thank you so much for sharing this story Tayo. I was born and brought up in the North (Kano) but fled with my family in 2012 at the heat of the insurgency. The sad truth is alot of people in the southern parts of Nigeria don't understand the magnitude of chaos experienced in the North. I lost friends to these terrorists. Still frightens me till this day.
You absolutely right. Most people in the South and East don't understand that this affects everyone of us. Truly sorry the North is going through this. This is why I am so against this whole IPOB thing we in the East are letting slide. It is a time ticking bomb.

My man tayo. Thanks for staying neutral because the last time i went to maiduguri myself was around February I’m a biomedical engineer and i was scared to my bone. Thank Goodness nothing happened to me, the machine i went to repair was the only available X-ray machine in that village and alot of engineers are even scared to go. I went there and they were happy, these people are actually nice people without the insurgents and the way they thank me for repairing the only available X-ray machine at that place makes me look like a hero. Thanks for covering these places
You truly went above and beyond to tell this story. The fact that you even interviewed the Governor is so significant. Thanks for taking us on this journey with you 👏🏽👏🏽 But it’s truly heartbreaking to know what’s going on in Borno State and so many other states in Nigeria...😔
I am from Maiduguri born and raised but you know what i think this is the best documentary made about Borno state. This is what people need to see long ago, thank you for this incredible masterpiece.
Hi Tayo. Thank you for the piece. I must confess as at 2020 I really felt you didn't cover Nigeria as much as you should, now I am glad you are doing this. I am so glad peace is returning to Borno state and people can go to their farms albeit in limited form. This video was emotional to me because I am a full-blooded Nigerian, I love my country so so much and want the best for it. I just want to say again.. Thank You so so much for this. As the creator and critic, I am😁😁, I just wish you had talked more about the role the military played in this. Those guys are amazing. Thanks man. One love.. God bless you bountifully.
@@naijapositivesonly4972 yes and I'm happy cos my dad retired from the military after his last service in Maiduguri fighting the insurgents. Our gallant men are doing great, salute to them. Nigeria 🇳🇬 will surely rise again.
I worked in this state for 5 years until 2021....I see these women and lots of emotions flow down my spine. Maiduguri is safe now, I thank God for the opportunity to contribute to ease the situations of these people in camps. I never regretted going there. Thank you for this documentary Tayo.
This is beyond heartbreaking and once again I gotta commend brother Tayo and his team for this Netflix worthy documentary! The stabilization camp is a good innovative and I hope the families can move in soon
Honestly as a South African I love your channel, I recommend it to everyone, Africa deserves TH-camrs like you showing the world the real lives of people living in our beautiful continent. I have wanted to go to Nigeria for a really long time and this video hasn’t deterred me from wanting so, it’s probably made me want to go more and support our fellow Africans in need.
This brought tears to my eyes, especially when one man said he came from East Africa to Maiduguri and many Nigerians have not been to Maiduguri. Great work Tayo. Great work!
I was born in Lagos, lived most of my life in Lagos. But watching this, not long ago I saw the Zamfara story by BBC too. I know that Nigeria is yet to be explored by Nigerians. We need a better government and we would appreciate Nigeria more
@@adebayoglover appreciate Nigeria now to hold a better ground of appreciating later. We as Nigerians are cowards, always hiding in other countries instead of developing ours, we don't necessary need war but we can all start working towards private enterprises instead of depending on the government.
I was almost shedding tears while watching. I didn't even see the negatives. I saw a beautiful landscape with massive agricultural potential after the order of California in the U.S.A. Same with Niger state. It's a shame how our Leaders have turned a blind eye to the issue of insecurity in Nigeria. You need to step out to developed countries and see how attention is paid to the security of lives and property. As for those kids not in school, that's a ticking time bomb. Any kid without basic education before the age of 14 poses a threat and danger to the community esp with those bad guys sniffing around the communities to recruit new soldiers. The closing note from Tayo is a take-home note for every Nigerian who has seen this video. Our population is increasing faster than our GDP, and we can't afford to keep playing stupid political games. Let's ensure we vote in capable candidates at all levels of governance in the country. Prof Zulum is even doing wonders in a state faced with insurgency than some leaders in a relatively safer state. Tells you a lot about voting for the right candidate.
Hats off Tayo. It's incredible how much work you put into telling our stories as Nigerians and Africans as a whole. It's just enlightening and beautiful.
90% of my family resides in Maiduguri even though we are Yoruba, when the insurgency happened we told them to come, they did, but they couldn't stay for a long time, because they always say Maiduguri will always be home for them, it's Slogan is Home of Peace I think it's one of the most peaceful places in Nigeria prior to the insurgency, I couldn't understand them no matter how much I tried, but I think this video just gave me some more perspective.... Thank you Tayọ for this video, it means Alot to me personally
Yeah it was. I shed tears the day I left the north in Dec 2018 pre election season cause it's relatively peaceful. There's no hassle, unwarranted pressure, fake life, etc you could start up a young family if you wanted to, food, housing, cars, all cheap & of course constant electricity. I hope the North recovers it's lost glory before insurgency
Thank you for this masterpiece. I am from the Eastern part of Nigeria and I am so grateful you shared this. We are one Nigeria, no one deserves to be treated this way, in their own country in their home.
This is enlightening. I live in Nigeria but after watching this video, I feel so privileged. I just wish that there are things I can do to help these northerners so that we can all achieve peace and security. Tayo Aina, this is a huge project you've embarked on. Thank you for this
We can only try A LITTLE, if you listen to interviews of former DSS Top officials and Army generals, they kept make a similar statement, this is SPONSORED by some people in the senate, business 🙄 and elite class.
I am from Côte d’Ivoire, and it touched me to see this story. It is like many northern part of west-African countries having the same problem at different levels. May our generation change the narrative
It's basically the shahel part of West Africa. That why when I see some West Africans talking shit about Nigerias security I am just laughing at their ignorance, those west African countries don't touch the shahel. That's why they are safe. Its basically luck. Nigeria even touches the Sahara. By geography some countries are just not lucky.
@@newfaction3435 real shiiii people don’t understand what the Sahel is like vast land with no security a hot bed for terrorist. And not to mention most of those weapons flow throw chad and niger they see Nigeria as a cash cow. Nothing will change if we don’t protect our borders
I remember leaving Maiduguri in 2011.. we left with nothing, just the cloth on my body. Moving from one village to another. It was a horrible experience. Something you wouldn't wish for your enemy. Tayo thank you for this.. people need to see this
I have been ignoring this video but TH-cam kept suggesting it to me. I finally watched and I am so glad I did. Tayo is a genius. This is a very good documentary about what's happening in the north east.
I'm a cameroonian 🇨🇲 soldier and have done a mission on boko haram in borno state, Gambaru, wulgo local government area and to say it's too sad to see a vibrant population suffering. But thank God we pushed them away and restore the wulgo local government with a population of about 5k people
As an indigene of Borno state All I can say is a big thank you for the insightful coverage of the state, I will have liked a part 2 of it, were you can visit the various villages in Borno especially those in southern (Bama, gwoza*pulka*,Chibok precisely) and also the northern part of the state get a good interpreter above all show some beauty of the city aswell ...bcos obviously we are returning back to our initial state of being the home of peace... May God Almighty restore peace in the whole of this country..... And thank you for ur effort aswell
You are the first Nigerian TH-camr to bring us a concise and in depth expose on Borno State and its friendly inhabitants as they continue to live with spates of insurgency insecurity. And the fact that governor Zulum was able to see you is also commendable. And the architectural design of the new residential estate for the IDPs by architect Tosin is very impressive. (Did she design the hexagonal roofs of the market place seen in the beginning of the video?) Much kudos, and keep up the good work!!!
Tayo,may God bless you for shooting this video.Maiduguri was one of the most peaceful states in the northern Nigeria,both Christians and Muslims lived peacefully before the demon possessed boko haram and their agents came to destroy the place.Before I forgot, the state is unlike the ones ruled by the fulanis (herdsmen in babariga)
This video right here got me emotional as I try so hard to tell friends and family that maiduguri isn’t as bad as it’s been projected anymore. It’s safer than before and the people of Borno are so welcoming. As a young lady who by the virtue of marriage had to relocate to maiduguri from Lagos, I can boldly say that I love Borno state and maiduguri precisely. Thank you Tayo for sharing this for the world to see
This video has changed my mindset when it comes to the North in general, I do appreciate the energy you put to make this video a reality. Keep it up, bro🌍♥🇳🇬
I’m from Maiduguri and I can confirm that Maiduguri used to be the most dangerous city in the country. But currently it’s arguably one of the safest city in the whole country due to the resilience and civilian resistance to repel the insurgents. Except for some remote LGAs. Peace had gradually been restored even tho there’s a lot left to be done in terms of healing the damages the state got during insurgencies. Major sectors are still yet to be rehabilitated and some other basic amenities like electricity are still yet to be restored. We pray for peace to reign in the whole country 🙏 well done Tayo! So proud of you and what you’re doing 👍🏾
It all felt outlandish watching this. I had to snap back at reality to realize I'm not watching a documentary of another country. I'm Igbo and having lived in the East throughout my life, exploring other cultures in Nigeria is really paramount! Thank you for this piece of artwork, Tayo!
Damn I just saw Northern Nigeria in a new light. Thank you Tayo Aina for bringing this masterpiece to our sight. People need to know what's going on up there. Big ups to UNDP, the Commissioner for Women Affairs and the Borno State Governor, thank you all
I pray every part of Nigeria can be peace. I could not control the tears flowing down my eyes. Thanks for the wonderful documentary and may God heal Nigeria.
Well done, Tayo, fantastic documentary. Having lived there from birth until 2009, I can say Maiduguri is indeed a beautiful city, and used to be one of the peaceful cities (if not the most peaceful city) to live in. I am happy to see the Government's efforts in restoring peace, and giving hope to the displaced people of the communities.
Northern Nigeria was an aching beautiful place, with a magical culture and genuinely wonderful people. Even Travel Channel visited Kano and Michika around 2007 or so. Michika is now bombed out. It’s bewildering how it got to this point. It’s a paradise lost. It’s my sincere prayers that cooler head prevails up north and stop the mindless violence.
It was decades in the making, the deliberate under/mis education and abuse of the talakawa, the deliberate corruption and misuse of funds based on the idea that everything belongs to the elite...it was bound to get here based on those things...
You just brought back Memories of that dreadful experience,I was doing my Nysc when it all started. Thank God for Preserving my Life. May the families of the departed be Comforted in Jesus name 🙏
Goosebumps...I served here 2010-2011, I still shiver whenever I remember the bombs, gunshots and the constant fears I felt. Seeing Monday market and its environs brings back lots of memories, am glad I came back safe.
@@genesisnewbreeds government should force???u are not serious🙄 what of the coppers they brought their dead bodies home😡😡 not to talk of the ones that didn't return!!
As a Kenyan, I'm happy to see the progress you've made. Such wars are hard, we've had one for the last 12 years but at least we have more global support and we've pushed the enemy out of our soil
@@eniolabakare6839 Kenya doesn't have insecurity issues anymore. The Kenyan army was deployed in Somalia to end the insurgent groups that were posing a threat to Kenya from the root.
The housing project is amazing. Also Give every mother an AK and a Glock. Teach the families how to defend themselves, escape and evade if need be. Then send the army to hunt down BH until it no longer exist in Nigeria.
Lovely Documentary Tayo. This has been long time editing. Thanks for sharing. As someone who has travelled to Borno and other nother states to create content and work, I can tell anyone that Borno and the rest of the Northern Nigeria is a very lovely place, it's unfortunate how insurgency have not only destroyed the region but also tarnished the reputation of the region.
Love the way you have shifted to not only show luxury and massive homes in Nigeria but you decided to show us the other side of the coin . Kudos to you on this and I will try my best to promote this👍 .
This is my first time watching tayoaina films and I must say “ This is unique and educating “ . Borno is seen as the most dangerous state in Nigeria and you took the brave step by visiting and documenting the process. Nigeria is proud of You 😇 Well done 👍
This is touching for.me,.cos i lived there for more.many years and theoughout my stay there it was extremely peaceful it waa.after i relocated in 2005 that it went up in flames but i thank God peace has returned and as Christians we most interceed for NorthEast and the Country as a whole, the leaders also that they are.guided by Gods Spirit. We most up hold the peace by standing in the gap in prayer also through the other initiatives and structures that have been provided. Thanks so much Tayo
I have much respect for Tayo’s touch on his work, you definitely get to distinguish him from your everyday TH-camr and get to call him a film maker. He has something to say and that is important, I guess this was worth the wait. Thank you for doing your part in amplifying the voices and truth of the people. May God protect you down this road and even inspire you to bring to life more compelling stories. Be blessed
Thank you, Tayo for this amazing piece. Well done to the Entire Team, many Nigerians are not well informed and there is a stereotype that the Northerners are wicked, but I have been there and I can say that - the Northerners are amazing people. Also, kudos to the Governor - he is really putting in the work, I doubt many governors can perform in such a climate. Thank you, UN for your amazing support. God bless Nigeria
I was born and brought up in Maidugri. Borno state used to be a very sweet and a safe place. With very cheap stuffs compare to the western and southern parts of Nigeria. But I feel so bad seeing all these insurgency not just in the north now but almost everywhere
Tayo! Tayo! Tayo! How many times did I call you. You have outdone yourself in this video. This is really educational. As a Nigerian, it feels like I’m watching a documentary from another country. This is beautiful. May God bless you.
Omo Nigeria is so diverse… I can’t believe I share same country with these people. They look totally different. I pray the peace they enjoy to remain permanent
They come under the Afro Asiatic umbrella whilst Southerners come under the Niger-Congo umbrella. You can hear their language does sound anything like Southern languages
Amen, my brother we share same country, Nigeria is so big and diverse but most of the crisis is in the villages but thank God everything is calm and peaceful now. Thanks for your prayers
This was a crash course in documentary style filmmaking ❤, the shots ,and the music ...how it blends into the story, mehn...honestly I can watch this video over and over again.. This video is gonna blow up❤🔥🔥
Big ups to Tayo & his team for being brave enough to go over to the North and experience this firsthand to share with the rest of the world. What the UNDP REP said about the weaving skills of Maiduguri women is true. I've come across a few numbers of them who escaped to Lagos and their skills are unmatched.
Seeing the outskirts of Maiduguri and hearing the folks speak kanuri and hausa, reminds me of my childhood growing up there. Then things were so different. It was known as the home of peace. Sigh. Sad how things have turned. Tayo I applaud your bravery. Not too many would take the risk going these days.
Tayo has demonstrated pure patriotism. Seeing those kids playing gives me joy. This is a validation that the efforts of our gallant soldiers is not in vein. You will scale higher heights in your pursuit. God bless you Bro
Chai Tayo. I'm from Adamawa state, seeing you go all the way to Borno from Lagos just to do this honestly makes me respect you more than ever. God bless you brother.❤️💎✊🏾
Thanks Tayo. I served in Maiduguri in 2013 and successfully trained women, widows affected by the crisis and young girls on soap making, perfume, tie and dye. It was my own way of imparting lives.
I can't thank you enough for this video, Tayo. Slowly but steadily, we are overcoming insecurity in the North of Nigeria. Thank to everyone who put this together
One of the best documentary i have seen ever thank you Tayo indeed we have suffered alot due to the insurgency over years but now alhamdullilah gradually borno is regaining it lost glory. Borno is known as Home of peace and indeed it's a Home of peace..
I'm starting a petition to have Tayo focus on Nigeria for at least the rest of 2022. I bet many of us had no idea how beautiful Borno state is, I bet many people (myself included) once we hear "Borno" we automatically picture a burnt down city like a bad depiction of a middle eastern movie, but look what we have? One thing that stood out for me is the diversity, I could hear different accents and languages and notice minor differences in culture and lifestyle, when this is all over, I hope Tayo will do another video on Borno state, and this time with a story of victory and beauty of the land. Long live the people of Borno, your resilience is encouraging. ✊🏾
Kudos Tayo!!! The video is really an eye opener. The people of Borno are really blessed to have such a gem as a Governor, and I believe the government should do more in documenting and also communicating the progresses made overtime from the Insurgency...
Am so proud to be an indigen of Borno state. It's so amazing to see how much effort you put in to bring these piece to light. Graduated from university of maiduguri just of recent (2021) I could vividly remember the incidence that had happened during my university days. It wasn't a pleasant one but we keep pushing through. At times I wonder how people go about there day to day activities as if nothing happen with so much courage.
Well done Tayo for this great job. I could see that Borno people got to a point where they rise up against the Boko Haram to fight for their FREEDOM. This is a great lesson for every Nigerians.
Very nicely done. Good job Tayo. This will help a lot to destigmatize the North especially in the eyes of most southerners who are truly petrified of going up there. Top notch production.
Thanks for this insightful video on the conflict in this part of Nigeria. I am especially thrilled to see that ordinary Nigerians are part of the efforts in restoring peace and security. Furthermore, they are creating sustainable living for the victims of this conflict. At the end of the day, it is good to see Africans helping Africans, Nigerians helping Nigerians. We are all we have. Never forget.
Great work Tayo, can you please go back after 2 years or 3 just so we can see if there’s really more change done. This is so heartbreaking to watch. Love from a South Ah sister 🤗
I like how Tayo is bridging the divide between the south and northern Nigeria with this video, and showing the beautiful part of the north that mainstream media would not show. Thank you Tayo. I am 27 and have never stepped foot in the north. This is an eye-opener.
This is really an amazing piece ...thanks for telling the Nigerian story however you forget to talk about the role the Nigerian security agencies have played to curbing insurgency especially the Nigerian army and Air force 🥂
Another great work tayo..u tell a good and realistic story . I went to school in old Borno...state. we used to travel by rail from maidugiri to aba... I weep for what I see...when other cultures/societies are advancing..we re moving back.
You changed my perspective on the insurgency in northeastern Nigeria with this video...I never imagined the region and its people in this manner. I must confess, I was really humbled. The work you do is incredible. Thank you & God bless.
Hey Man, I don't know if you'll see this comment but I want to let you know You're doing a great job. There's no better person to talk about geopolitics in Nigeria than the real people that knows and understands everything
Thank you so much tayo. This was a very emotional piece for me, this damage affected me and my family,lost my senior brother. It been years but watching this brought back alot of memories. Btw this is the first time I'm coming across your channel 😚❤️. I love everything and the way you're passionate about Nigeria/Africa is so motivating.

I normally don’t comment on videos but for this I just have to. Tayo has shown his immense love for his country with this documentary. Instead of spreading the negative narrative he has stayed neutral and still ends a tragic situation with a positive end. This is documentary filmmaking at its finest. As someone in the entertainment business this has inspired me to use my skills to show positivity and change the narrative about my country. Thank you Tayo and the entire team.

when I was 5 my mother and I moved to Maiduguri from Germany, where she worked as a Pediatrician in the Miduguri Hospital. She passed away there two years later and I have never had the possibility to go back to a country and a city that has so many mixed emotions for me. Even though I have wanted to as a grown up, to put things into perspective. This documentary has left me deeply moved and in an odd way closer to this part of my childhood then I could come in the last 30 years. Thank you!
Why did your mother want to move to Maiduguri?
@@DavidZ4-gg3dm This was in the early 90s and there was no children’s hospital there, so she helped build one because it was needed.
This is Maiduguri from 🇳🇬 Nigeria
Great piece of content Tayo, I've traveled to Lagos Nigeria all the way from Mozambique once and I was impressed by the people, and how hardworking, smart, welcoming and humble Nigerians are. Completely different from what we usually see on Social Media, just like how truly Africans are, and the people you've shown in this video don't tell me otherwise. Keep up the good work! Hugs from a huge fan from Mozambique.

All people around the world are good, nice just media and politicians are bad.
I need TH-cam to include you in the creators for change because this was impeccable! Probably one of the best stories I've head from an African about Africa and you handled it with so much dignity and the respect it deserves. You're doing so fantastic Tayo and I hope your platform reaches heights beyond our imagination and reach! I cried watching this and seeing the solutions that are already in place and all the hands that are on deck in terms of changing the narrative.
We need to tell our stories honestly. This thing of blaming any western people for telling our stories how they understand them is unfortunate, unless they are doing it deliberately which is very few who do that. The problem is that we are not telling our own stories in an honest manner and claiming we are "changing the narrative". We are not really changing the narrative but disguising it. We are still afraid as Africans to go deeper to root problem and deliver both sides of the story directly from the horses mouth, which the Westerners do well. We should not play victims when they do that we should change the narrative by covering what they covered in our own narrative but it must be as honest as possible instead of beautiful as possible.
It is like what the African journalists and content creators did when they were covering Zama-Zamas in South Africa portraying them as poor migrants who illegally go to abandoned or closed mines to dig for minerals. When the story was covered in the years before they portrayed them as victims who need protection from the state and who need to be legalised whilst hiding that they were causing destruction in the nearby neighbourhoods. Right now as we speak they have collapsed the South African miking industry and thwart off investors. Content creators and journalists are now caught in a limbo because they wanted to tell a beautiful but sad reality instead of tell the story it is. You can look at how zama zamas were documented on TH-cam in previous years and look at what is happening now. We as Africans are afraid to confront the truths of our story and we loke to edit so that it suits the "narrative". If we tell our stories as honestly as we can with insightful knowledge, and an impartial view we will change the narrative because what people will be seeing on TV will reflect what is happening on the ground. I applaud Tayo for taking this journey of journaling such events, it is important for our future.
I love you 😘
Tayo You just set the bar with this episode.
Clearly you have a real passion for journalism and not just Vlogging.
1 million subs on the way, you earned it bro.
Keep it up.
Nobody tells this kind of story like Tayo. Nobody. Truly exceptional stuff.
Thanks My G. Looking forward to more videos from you. 🙏
Very exceptional Garrison Comrade
You guys are doing a wonderful job. This is an exposé ❤️💯
Sir pls do more on Northern Nigeria,am trying to move there..
@@ernestgbarbea1878 no try am ohh 😂😂
Wow!! Although I am Nigerian from the southern part, I knew absolutely nothing about Borno state. The people even looked and sounded foreign to me. But this documentary really shed alot of light about our Northern brothers. The insurgents have really created a huge gap between the 3 major tribes. When you hear of gun men or heardsmen committing attrocities, you think it all the Fulanies or all the Hausas. Not knowing that they are the ones actually being oppressed by a few selfish people. You did a great job with this documentary. thanks for doing it.
Try to help us in telling your southern relatives the truth that the northerners are not their enemies We should come together to fight our true enemies God Bless Nigeria 🇳🇬🤝🏿 God Bless Africa 🌍✊🏿
@@aliyuibrahim3046 then vote Peter Obi. He will unite the country. Am not igbo. Am from Esan Tribe in edo state
I knew this and I'm a British born Nigerian not even living in Nigeria. I would say this is due to ignorance. I'm always debating with people from the south (mainly relatives) about this. What you have is an insurgency. We need to stop calling them Fulani herdsmen. It sounds ridiculous.
@@TheGreatDebater08How can you say anything when you’re British. You don’t understand anything
@@aliyuibrahim3046There is no one Nigeria. How naive are you to believe after how many years of independence somehow there can be prosperity now? Nigeria has no rule of law and is disintegrating. Why should someone give Fulanis sympathy when it was never given to Biafrans?
I am from the North but unfortunately i have never been to Borno state, But after watching this video seeing how this tragic insurgent has affected the people in borno and also affects us as nigerians in general i'm inspired to reach out and offer the little help i can. This is a very good work Tayo, keep it up and God bless you.
Finally the video is here
Your favorite question is: So you have a US Passport and left to start a farm in Africa, are you okay? Anytime you asked this question, I burst out laughing🤣🤣🤣. Don't worry, soon, you would ask me the same question.
Thank you WODE MAYA and TAYO for showing us our own Africa unbiased.
it is indeed, I really appreciate this work (the most talked about, Boko Haram in Nigeria)
🥷🥷🥷
Great work we really appreciate you
The boss is here.
Respect uncle Maya.
Love from your second country 🇳🇬
As someone from the NorthEast, this is an emotional piece for me. Thank you so much Tayo for telling our story. We love you.
Yes that's right hauwa'u
I was posted to Borno last year for my NYSC at first I was scared but, after a year I didn't want to leave. I remember the day I left i cried, and honestly I don't mind going back. Thank you for this👏
When its time to rest not when army follow them in an out b4 daily bread u will like to stay bcs they want poeple to join dem no much indigine again many have gone
I understand your feeling, it's a lovely place to be. Far away from the stress of other parts of Nigeria.
Big ups to the Nigerian Army for this huge sacrifice. Imagine leaving your home in the south to fight a war in the North and end up paying the Supreme price
I shed tears watching this. Thank you so much for sharing this story Tayo. I was born and brought up in the North (Kano) but fled with my family in 2012 at the heat of the insurgency. The sad truth is alot of people in the southern parts of Nigeria don't understand the magnitude of chaos experienced in the North.
I lost friends to these terrorists. Still frightens me till this day.
You absolutely right. Most people in the South and East don't understand that this affects everyone of us. Truly sorry the North is going through this. This is why I am so against this whole IPOB thing we in the East are letting slide. It is a time ticking bomb.

My man tayo. Thanks for staying neutral because the last time i went to maiduguri myself was around February I’m a biomedical engineer and i was scared to my bone. Thank Goodness nothing happened to me, the machine i went to repair was the only available X-ray machine in that village and alot of engineers are even scared to go. I went there and they were happy, these people are actually nice people without the insurgents and the way they thank me for repairing the only available X-ray machine at that place makes me look like a hero. Thanks for covering these places
Thank You Adex. Thank You
Well done 👍
Thank you Adex, for your selflessness.. God bless you
Thank you 💕, you are indeed a hero 💪🏿
You truly went above and beyond to tell this story. The fact that you even interviewed the Governor is so significant.
Thanks for taking us on this journey with you 👏🏽👏🏽
But it’s truly heartbreaking to know what’s going on in Borno State and so many other states in Nigeria...😔
The Gov is humble & a good man, not those proud peacocks in the South.
You’re what a role model looks like not the celebs distracting our people. Keep doing what you’re doing, we appreciate you. 👍🏾
Im a Nigerian in America, thank you for bringing me and others news and videos of our beloved Nigeria. God Bless, be safe.
I am from Maiduguri born and raised but you know what i think this is the best documentary made about Borno state.
This is what people need to see long ago, thank you for this incredible masterpiece.
Hi Tayo. Thank you for the piece. I must confess as at 2020 I really felt you didn't cover Nigeria as much as you should, now I am glad you are doing this. I am so glad peace is returning to Borno state and people can go to their farms albeit in limited form. This video was emotional to me because I am a full-blooded Nigerian, I love my country so so much and want the best for it. I just want to say again.. Thank You so so much for this. As the creator and critic, I am😁😁, I just wish you had talked more about the role the military played in this. Those guys are amazing.
Thanks man. One love.. God bless you bountifully.
Thanks bro. Appreciated 🙏
Yeah,The military played a major role in this and they deserve our respect!They deserve more!
@@naijapositivesonly4972 I totally agree with this!
@@naijapositivesonly4972 yes and I'm happy cos my dad retired from the military after his last service in Maiduguri fighting the insurgents. Our gallant men are doing great, salute to them. Nigeria 🇳🇬 will surely rise again.
I worked in this state for 5 years until 2021....I see these women and lots of emotions flow down my spine. Maiduguri is safe now, I thank God for the opportunity to contribute to ease the situations of these people in camps. I never regretted going there. Thank you for this documentary Tayo.
God bless Nigeria, with all the security challenges Nigeria is still standing strong.
This is beyond heartbreaking and once again I gotta commend brother Tayo and his team for this Netflix worthy documentary! The stabilization camp is a good innovative and I hope the families can move in soon
Honestly as a South African I love your channel, I recommend it to everyone, Africa deserves TH-camrs like you showing the world the real lives of people living in our beautiful continent. I have wanted to go to Nigeria for a really long time and this video hasn’t deterred me from wanting so, it’s probably made me want to go more and support our fellow Africans in need.
⁰00⁰ how much sugaraaa😊aaaa
Bano
This brought tears to my eyes, especially when one man said he came from East Africa to Maiduguri and many Nigerians have not been to Maiduguri. Great work Tayo. Great work!
I was born in Lagos, lived most of my life in Lagos. But watching this, not long ago I saw the Zamfara story by BBC too. I know that Nigeria is yet to be explored by Nigerians. We need a better government and we would appreciate Nigeria more
I’m from northern Nigeria Adamawa state to be precise but I’ve never been to maiduguri and most part of my state too.
@@adebayoglover appreciate Nigeria now to hold a better ground of appreciating later. We as Nigerians are cowards, always hiding in other countries instead of developing ours, we don't necessary need war but we can all start working towards private enterprises instead of depending on the government.
I was almost shedding tears while watching. I didn't even see the negatives. I saw a beautiful landscape with massive agricultural potential after the order of California in the U.S.A. Same with Niger state. It's a shame how our Leaders have turned a blind eye to the issue of insecurity in Nigeria. You need to step out to developed countries and see how attention is paid to the security of lives and property. As for those kids not in school, that's a ticking time bomb. Any kid without basic education before the age of 14 poses a threat and danger to the community esp with those bad guys sniffing around the communities to recruit new soldiers. The closing note from Tayo is a take-home note for every Nigerian who has seen this video. Our population is increasing faster than our GDP, and we can't afford to keep playing stupid political games. Let's ensure we vote in capable candidates at all levels of governance in the country. Prof Zulum is even doing wonders in a state faced with insurgency than some leaders in a relatively safer state. Tells you a lot about voting for the right candidate.
Hats off Tayo. It's incredible how much work you put into telling our stories as Nigerians and Africans as a whole. It's just enlightening and beautiful.
90% of my family resides in Maiduguri even though we are Yoruba, when the insurgency happened we told them to come, they did, but they couldn't stay for a long time, because they always say Maiduguri will always be home for them, it's Slogan is Home of Peace I think it's one of the most peaceful places in Nigeria prior to the insurgency, I couldn't understand them no matter how much I tried, but I think this video just gave me some more perspective.... Thank you Tayọ for this video, it means Alot to me personally
Yeah it was. I shed tears the day I left the north in Dec 2018 pre election season cause it's relatively peaceful. There's no hassle, unwarranted pressure, fake life, etc you could start up a young family if you wanted to, food, housing, cars, all cheap & of course constant electricity.
I hope the North recovers it's lost glory before insurgency
Thank you for this masterpiece. I am from the Eastern part of Nigeria and I am so grateful you shared this. We are one Nigeria, no one deserves to be treated this way, in their own country in their home.
This is enlightening. I live in Nigeria but after watching this video, I feel so privileged. I just wish that there are things I can do to help these northerners so that we can all achieve peace and security. Tayo Aina, this is a huge project you've embarked on. Thank you for this
That's so kind and thoughtful of you
❤❤
even A good intention is a blessing❤️❤️❤️🇳🇬
We can only try A LITTLE, if you listen to interviews of former DSS Top officials and Army generals, they kept make a similar statement, this is SPONSORED by some people in the senate, business 🙄 and elite class.

It's basically the shahel part of West Africa. That why when I see some West Africans talking shit about Nigerias security I am just laughing at their ignorance, those west African countries don't touch the shahel. That's why they are safe.

I have been ignoring this video but TH-cam kept suggesting it to me. I finally watched and I am so glad I did. Tayo is a genius. This is a very good documentary about what's happening in the north east.
I'm a cameroonian 🇨🇲 soldier and have done a mission on boko haram in borno state, Gambaru, wulgo local government area and to say it's too sad to see a vibrant population suffering. But thank God we pushed them away and restore the wulgo local government with a population of about 5k people
🇳🇬Big Up to the Nigerian Military. Their efforts will not be in vain.💪
I am telling you they are really trying. God keeps upholding them.
Amen
Ameen peace forever Inshaa Allah Ameen ❤️ 🙏 ♥️
As an indigene of Borno state All I can say is a big thank you for the insightful coverage of the state, I will have liked a part 2 of it, were you can visit the various villages in Borno especially those in southern (Bama, gwoza*pulka*,Chibok precisely) and also the northern part of the state get a good interpreter above all show some beauty of the city aswell ...bcos obviously we are returning back to our initial state of being the home of peace...
May God Almighty restore peace in the whole of this country.....
And thank you for ur effort aswell
This video is touching. Tayo weldone
Vote right! Don't vote for tribe, vote for a competent leader to end all this
Hmmmm
You are the first Nigerian TH-camr to bring us a concise and in depth expose on Borno State and its friendly inhabitants as they continue to live with spates of insurgency insecurity. And the fact that governor Zulum was able to see you is also commendable. And the architectural design of the new residential estate for the IDPs by architect Tosin is very impressive. (Did she design the hexagonal roofs of the market place seen in the beginning of the video?) Much kudos, and keep up the good work!!!
Those topics at the market .. real nice designs
Tayo,may God bless you for shooting this video.Maiduguri was one of the most peaceful states in the northern Nigeria,both Christians and Muslims lived peacefully before the demon possessed boko haram and their agents came to destroy the place.Before I forgot, the state is unlike the ones ruled by the fulanis (herdsmen in babariga)
This video right here got me emotional as I try so hard to tell friends and family that maiduguri isn’t as bad as it’s been projected anymore. It’s safer than before and the people of Borno are so welcoming. As a young lady who by the virtue of marriage had to relocate to maiduguri from Lagos, I can boldly say that I love Borno state and maiduguri precisely.
Thank you Tayo for sharing this for the world to see
Abeg tell them o here is better than many places in Nigeria
As a Nigerian my self I think it is very sad to see my own country fighting😢 I wish the best for all of them. Good shall bless them all😊
This video has changed my mindset when it comes to the North in general, I do appreciate the energy you put to make this video a reality. Keep it up, bro🌍♥🇳🇬
I’m from Maiduguri and I can confirm that Maiduguri used to be the most dangerous city in the country. But currently it’s arguably one of the safest city in the whole country due to the resilience and civilian resistance to repel the insurgents. Except for some remote LGAs. Peace had gradually been restored even tho there’s a lot left to be done in terms of healing the damages the state got during insurgencies. Major sectors are still yet to be rehabilitated and some other basic amenities like electricity are still yet to be restored. We pray for peace to reign in the whole country 🙏 well done Tayo! So proud of you and what you’re doing 👍🏾
What touched me most is how the community devoted to resist the insurgents
You just had to give it to them ❤
This is a complete job well done Tayo. Thank you for using everything you have in putting the stories of Nigeria and Africa to the world
It all felt outlandish watching this. I had to snap back at reality to realize I'm not watching a documentary of another country. I'm Igbo and having lived in the East throughout my life, exploring other cultures in Nigeria is really paramount! Thank you for this piece of artwork, Tayo!
Nigeria will always be successful...🇬🇭❤️🙏
I was born and brought up in Nigeria but I have never been to any part of Northern Nigeria but this video change my mindset
Damn I just saw Northern Nigeria in a new light. Thank you Tayo Aina for bringing this masterpiece to our sight. People need to know what's going on up there. Big ups to UNDP, the Commissioner for Women Affairs and the Borno State Governor, thank you all
I pray every part of Nigeria can be peace. I could not control the tears flowing down my eyes. Thanks for the wonderful documentary and may God heal Nigeria.
Well done, Tayo, fantastic documentary. Having lived there from birth until 2009, I can say Maiduguri is indeed a beautiful city, and used to be one of the peaceful cities (if not the most peaceful city) to live in. I am happy to see the Government's efforts in restoring peace, and giving hope to the displaced people of the communities.
Northern Nigeria was an aching beautiful place, with a magical culture and genuinely wonderful people. Even Travel Channel visited Kano and Michika around 2007 or so. Michika is now bombed out. It’s bewildering how it got to this point. It’s a paradise lost. It’s my sincere prayers that cooler head prevails up north and stop the mindless violence.
I tell you. As a filmmaker, I see potentials in the north.. we can have our own dubai and even other investment opportunities
May God help us in this Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬💯🇳🇬💯🇳🇬💯💯❤️😍
It was decades in the making, the deliberate under/mis education and abuse of the talakawa, the deliberate corruption and misuse of funds based on the idea that everything belongs to the elite...it was bound to get here based on those things...
No one WOULD go there in 1980s..
You just brought back Memories of that dreadful experience,I was doing my Nysc when it all started. Thank God for Preserving my Life. May the families of the departed be Comforted in Jesus name 🙏

This is touching for.me,.cos i lived there for more.many years and theoughout my stay there it was extremely peaceful it waa.after i relocated in 2005 that it went up in flames but i thank God peace has returned and as Christians we most interceed for NorthEast and the Country as a whole, the leaders also that they are.guided by Gods Spirit. We most up hold the peace by standing in the gap in prayer also through the other initiatives and structures that have been provided. Thanks so much Tayo
This is the best documentary ever made on Northen Nigeria by a Nigerian TH-camr.
I have much respect for Tayo’s touch on his work, you definitely get to distinguish him from your everyday TH-camr and get to call him a film maker. He has something to say and that is important, I guess this was worth the wait. Thank you for doing your part in amplifying the voices and truth of the people. May God protect you down this road and even inspire you to bring to life more compelling stories. Be blessed
Amen Bro. Thanks for the Kind words!
This is an incredibly excellent documentary!!!👏🏼👏🏼 Now we have better insight as to what’s going on in Northern Nigeria.
Thank you, Tayo for this amazing piece.
Well done to the Entire Team, many Nigerians are not well informed and there is a stereotype that the Northerners are wicked, but I have been there and I can say that - the Northerners are amazing people.
Also, kudos to the Governor - he is really putting in the work, I doubt many governors can perform in such a climate. Thank you, UN for your amazing support.
God bless Nigeria
I was born and brought up in Maidugri. Borno state used to be a very sweet and a safe place. With very cheap stuffs compare to the western and southern parts of Nigeria. But I feel so bad seeing all these insurgency not just in the north now but almost everywhere
Tayo! Tayo! Tayo! How many times did I call you. You have outdone yourself in this video. This is really educational. As a Nigerian, it feels like I’m watching a documentary from another country. This is beautiful. May God bless you.
Omo Nigeria is so diverse… I can’t believe I share same country with these people. They look totally different. I pray the peace they enjoy to remain permanent
They come under the Afro Asiatic umbrella whilst Southerners come under the Niger-Congo umbrella. You can hear their language does sound anything like Southern languages

Agree 100%.
Truly
Big ups to Tayo & his team for being brave enough to go over to the North and experience this firsthand to share with the rest of the world. What the UNDP REP said about the weaving skills of Maiduguri women is true. I've come across a few numbers of them who escaped to Lagos and their skills are unmatched.
Seeing the outskirts of Maiduguri and hearing the folks speak kanuri and hausa, reminds me of my childhood growing up there. Then things were so different. It was known as the home of peace. Sigh. Sad how things have turned. Tayo I applaud your bravery. Not too many would take the risk going these days.
Tayo has demonstrated pure patriotism. Seeing those kids playing gives me joy. This is a validation that the efforts of our gallant soldiers is not in vein. You will scale higher heights in your pursuit. God bless you Bro
Chai Tayo. I'm from Adamawa state, seeing you go all the way to Borno from Lagos just to do this honestly makes me respect you more than ever. God bless you brother.❤️💎✊🏾
Thanks Tayo. I served in Maiduguri in 2013 and successfully trained women, widows affected by the crisis and young girls on soap making, perfume, tie and dye. It was my own way of imparting lives.
You did a great and important job. Thanks for impacting lives. We need more of that! ❤️
Bless you bro
I can't thank you enough for this video, Tayo. Slowly but steadily, we are overcoming insecurity in the North of Nigeria. Thank to everyone who put this together
God bless the fine people of Nigeria…nobody should have be denied human rights…🤙🏻🇺🇸
You’ve set a high standard in content creation. Well done my brother.
One of the best documentary i have seen ever thank you Tayo indeed we have suffered alot due to the insurgency over years but now alhamdullilah gradually borno is regaining it lost glory. Borno is known as Home of peace and indeed it's a Home of peace..
Lol
I'm starting a petition to have Tayo focus on Nigeria for at least the rest of 2022.
I bet many of us had no idea how beautiful Borno state is, I bet many people (myself included) once we hear "Borno" we automatically picture a burnt down city like a bad depiction of a middle eastern movie, but look what we have?
One thing that stood out for me is the diversity, I could hear different accents and languages and notice minor differences in culture and lifestyle, when this is all over, I hope Tayo will do another video on Borno state, and this time with a story of victory and beauty of the land.
Long live the people of Borno, your resilience is encouraging. ✊🏾
I grew up in maiduguri, but left in 2021, I live today by chance 😢😢
Kudos Tayo!!! The video is really an eye opener. The people of Borno are really blessed to have such a gem as a Governor, and I believe the government should do more in documenting and also communicating the progresses made overtime from the Insurgency...
Am so proud to be an indigen of Borno state. It's so amazing to see how much effort you put in to bring these piece to light. Graduated from university of maiduguri just of recent (2021) I could vividly remember the incidence that had happened during my university days. It wasn't a pleasant one but we keep pushing through. At times I wonder how people go about there day to day activities as if nothing happen with so much courage.
Nigeria 🇳🇬 is a great country 👏 which we could have a good leader 👏
My family lived in Borno in early 1970-1975 wonderful people I would love to visit

Well done Tayo for this great job. I could see that Borno people got to a point where they rise up against the Boko Haram to fight for their FREEDOM. This is a great lesson for every Nigerians.
Thank you for visited my home town Maiduguri, and expressed our positivities and challenges to the whole world.
I can’t thank you enough for getting this story out. Those brave women. Wow.
I am super proud this documentary has been made by a Nigerian, thanks for telling us this story. A job very well done 👍🏾
Very nicely done. Good job Tayo. This will help a lot to destigmatize the North especially in the eyes of most southerners who are truly petrified of going up there. Top notch production.
Thanks for this insightful video on the conflict in this part of Nigeria. I am especially thrilled to see that ordinary Nigerians are part of the efforts in restoring peace and security. Furthermore, they are creating sustainable living for the victims of this conflict. At the end of the day, it is good to see Africans helping Africans, Nigerians helping Nigerians. We are all we have. Never forget.

A big thanks to you & your team Tayor for taking the risk to show us the other side of Nigeria 🇳🇬 that was taking over by terrorism in Nigeria.
Thank you so much tayo.
This was a very emotional piece for me, this damage affected me and my family,lost my senior brother.
