In every country you will see the good and the bad, but these people are different even the Iraqi ones don’t trust them because you can see that, they just want to use you guys so they show people they’re big and powerful. Anyways have a good trip and don’t trust people easily.
I just wanted to say sorry on behalf of all the Iraqi people for what happened. This guy is representing himself, and he scammed you, but this isn't who we are . I hope when you come again, enjoy your time and meet people, not just him.
@@cultevo1 they stayed a lot longer, that was essentially a few minutes with him one day, then basically a few hours during the day the next one&several more that night. Then he ghosted them rofl. It was definitely some scheme, but they didn’t pay for anything, so it for sure seems to be some sort of thing they’ll use for scams, or gods forbid propaganda
guys, this dude is deceiving others to obtain something which means he’s not representing us as Iraqis, my brother came from Lebanon 2 weeks ago and he met 2 chinese tourists at baghdad airport and they was looking for a taxi to get to the hotel, he invited them to come to our house rather than the hotel and they accepted it then they stayed with us for 10 days and we took them in our personal car to Basra and Nasiriyah and then to Samara in Salah Aldin and they didn’t accept the way we treated them during their stay , Food, accommodation and transportation during all the tours was for free, so the day they decided to leave the country they invited us in one of the restaurants that they chose and they paid for the meals, they were comfortable and happy, right now they are in Kazakhstan but they keep talking to us whenever they have time,they said they will come back again next year
I’m sorry for the uncomfortable experience you guys went through, about this guy the most probable explanation is that he works for some politician or one of the many corrupt political parties that rule Iraq and he just wants to use the footage he took for you with his boss for some political scam or perhaps a financial fraud but the place you went to was indeed a palace before that was converted to a park recently and just reopened right around the time he took you there so maybe the whole thing is connected to this park ! I hope this incident doesn’t affect your trip and hope to see you in other cities and historical sites of Iraq, welcome to Mesopotamia with much love brother❤

Bro… idk how you put up with that dude. I’m getting irritated AF just watching this video, I can only imagine if I was the one actually dealing with him…
The place you went to isn’t saddams pallace! It’s called 1001 nights park and it’s near where i live. It’s a park that opened very recently last year and has nothing to do with saddam
Ok that person he is not a finance minister he is employe in ministry of finance ( random person) cuz I was work with him And that guy who say he's a police officer he's lier
Damn I feel bad for that young afghani man he was most likely a translator for natos mission in Afghanistan and although America did get a lot of there translators and other afghans who helped out of Afghanistan they did leave a lot of them behind and then the taliban is coming in killing anyone who worked with the past government and military which sucks.
I’ve binge watched prob about 15 of your vids starting from newest just scrolling down and picking at random and I’ll say I can tell you have became more stern and rightfully so. Seeing stuff like this really sheds light on how quickly being to nice can bite you in the a** when traveling abroad.
he was a wacko pulling some scheme, very odd character. Your lucky you escaped him guys, crazy story which would never ever happen normally but hilarious at the same time
He was like a pathological liar and a groomer and a self ego booster. You met a super egotistical soul. Sick series, felt ervery sentence when you came back to the Hotel after that Afghan encounter. You're a good Soul Nolan, both feet on the ground and funny and sensational in the right atmosphere and context. True Canadian OG. Sober Minded Fun being you are Pirate Nolan. Your series are definetly a Seal of Approval on Traveling and meeting people and how to conduct yourself and learn from experiences and people.
As an Iraqi, I'm so sorry for having to go through that, but I died laughing at the part about wearing suits and standing in the streets 😂😂. He was a scammer who tried to control you as much as possible. He realised that the camera would expose him, so he was unsure what angle to use to get you to spend. He is harmless, though. He would have taken a cut from the merchants you pay at. You did really well. Compulsive liers are a thing in Iraq, they say rediculous inflated things, mainly comically unrealistic things, he wanted to isolate you because he was scared that you will tell people you run into that you will be visiting the palace 🤣. The language barrier works in his advantage.
He will use those promotional videos of you complimenting them to lure in some other investors, as a reference. He just made you play a role in front of their camera
Dear Iraqi officer. He just wants to show herself in the media. The Iraqi people are generous people and love life and peace. As I said, there are people in all countries who are neutral and bad. We Iraqis apologize to you if you were bothered by a situation or behavior that bothered you. All love, appreciation, and respect for you. I hope you visit Karbala, the marshes and Basra. Thank you.🌹🙏🌹❤️👍🇮🇶♥️🇮🇶♥️🙏👍
Whoa ! you hung wit small brain American Conner?! He's rad. That end part with the Afghani was a bummer ... Dude WAS suss... You got suits tho... But what was the REAL cost..??.. 😂❤🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for visiting Iraq, my home country and I’m very sorry this happened to you, and I agree! You did trust the wrong guy and hopefully this doesn’t stop you from visiting Iraq! Iraq has beautiful places and historical sites that worth exploring and seeing, Iraq also definitely has lovely and genuine people, maybe like the guy you exchanged numbers with (you wouldn’t know because you didn’t speak to many people, understandably so 😅😂) But hopefully you visit again and have a better experience 😊 Also, give me a shout if you’re ever in Dallas Texas, I would like to meet you guys
I’m really sorry about the person who approached you he doesn’t resemblance us he’s just some bumb, He didn’t take you to sadams palace he took you to a new restaurant that opened up called “one thousand nights in one” Iraq isn’t dangerous and the police officers who he said were his security guards aren’t they are just normal security for Iraq all he said to them was “how are you” The other guy who claims to be the old finance guy isn’t anything he’s just some random guy. Sadams palace is in a green zone and not anyone can enter it I’m sorry man he just said so much bs it pissed me off Once again we apologize for what happened
Bad ass video bro! I love to meet people and talk to them. Their English is crazy good. Yes it’s awkward but your special in your ability to sit and observe. I will definitely visit and experience it myself.
9:31 picture in the kitchen of Shaw of Iran also he tells he friend to pretend to pray he says they think you are a Hedji which is like sheik or powerful man Also a muslim would never even interrupt another Muslim during prayer or stand Infront of their prayer these men you were with do horrible unspeakable things against Iraqis & Syrians & arabs
The guy seemed sus from the beginning. I wouldn't have let him buy me anything. Its awkward in the moment, but you should have told him to piss off. Based on your more recent encounters, it seems like you learned your lesson. Made for great content though. If thats all you're looking for, keep it up i guess? 🤷♂️
You are lucky you weren't killed. Never follow strangers down dark narrow allies. ** You may have been dressed up and photographed be ause he was going to " market you", you'd be kidnapped for ransom.
Looking at what happened to you guys in my country really made me feel sad,I was hoping you get your Best time but because of people like this guy you must felt uncomfortable 😣,im so sorry this happened to you
This person who is with you, I do not know if he is afraid for you or if he is a bad person. But do not listen to his words: Iraq is safe. When the Iraqi people see that there are tourists in the country, they are very happy. And they never think about harming you
My God, this is really scary, but arguably common for those who don't know anything about the area, they will definitely try to scam u. Honestly, when I saw the dilapidated road when u went to the house of the man who was praying, I said that they would certainly be kill**ed, or they might be taken host*age, or something bad would happen to you. Thank God for your safety and be careful Not everyone is as good as you think
You guys got some balls for what you did! You knew it was a scam and you were riding along 😆 I felt bad for the Afghan guy, you should've ditched the scammer right then and went and hung out with the Afghan guy
Hmmmm honestly it may be my optimism and love and patience but the guy seems like hes being genuine about most of what hes saying- what makes me think this is the conversation with the adghani gentleman
I know it was a weird experience and all but he didn’t do anything so terrible I think dude just be lonely or something. The guy is hilarious to me I ain’t gone lie lol
Even if he didn’t have bad intentions he’s still not a good guy. He was very rude to everyone and wanted to convince us everyone was a bad person which is a very poor representation of Iraqis.
@@sealontour I definitely get what your saying it wasn’t a good representation of the country and wasn’t the type of person you would want to meet when traveling. Good travels bro. Love the videos 👍🏾
Guys imho you have, through ‘dumb luck’ experienced in Iraq, two very different types of interpreters. What a great watch this has been for educational purposes.
Dude ...this person is from the athorty..the iranieans home runing these people..thats way he avoid you to speak in angry street..in car the Nr 313 .is the code for irans believe religon..now anderstand..!! Next time travel to kusdish erbil..and see the other Iraq
I get it, your in unknown country, but if i see someone disrespecting some kid who is trying to find a better life. Getting in his personal space, i couldnt just sit there like a scared puppy dude... i would have ditched this weirdo.. its not your fault in a way but damn
I'm Iraqi and there are two explanations for what happened the first is an officer and wanted to hang out with you only the second possibility is that he impersonates an officer this is common and he will use your photos and claim that you are from the American embassy to make people trust him and that he has influence and can find work for money (the weird thing is that he didn't care about the camera and this is confusing Maybe just idiot nosy person)
I don't think he's an officer, works for the embassy or has an American citizenship. idk if he knew we were youtubers. maybe he just thought we filmed a lot for funzies
Ok, then he wants to make in the future more money he invested in both of you. What I have seen from the video He is a very rude person how he talks to other people I understood everything and also with the afghani guy.
Seal, you guys were DEFINITELY exploited. Your buddy’s assessment that they needed photos of American financial investors was probably spot-on. Those are great suits. You should mail them back home! You may need them for funerals or weddings or some sh#t! 😂
Honestly we just left them, I didn't say it in my video but i think in conner's video (when he posts) I kept saying I felt like a wh*re wearing the suits he bought us.
@@sealontour well you looked like a million dollar who-ah in that suite! Rofl at least you got a unique experience, for lack of a better word. &be thankful that it didn’t end up being much worse&nefarious.
I was so angry the whole video because of this guy. You happen to meet one of the worst people out there. I'm Iraqi but I left my county years ago. I don't know how you managed to contain yourself around him. You know he doesn't represent the majority of people there.
15:16 this is me (i'm Seal) ANYTIME my friends dragged me around with some CREEPY DUDE just cuz they liked him & the dude had $... my (ex)friends being the American here 😅 Me trying to explain it's bs & not what i signed up for & themm just like "MYEAAAH.... myeahhh 🤷♀️" meanwhile I'm just trapped 🥲👍 hating it lol. GLAD IT EVENTUALLY WORKED OUT GUYS 🥴 i read the comments half way thru watching 😬 I felt so bad for the Afghani dude too, Seal - & that guy Akhmed was acting disrespectful to you & others & got very sensitive about any realness UNLESS it involved bashing Afghanistan / America haha... kinda psyop ish 🫣
This man is with the Iraqi militias (gangs) and when the Afghan boy spoke, he was upset with him because he wanted to polish the image of the government he works with. He is a liar in everything he told you. I am Iraqi and on behalf of all Iraqis, I apologize to you for what happened.
I saw your video i laughed on that guy he looks wired. I’m sorry about that i hope i was there so i can show you all parts of iraq. So you can see how iraqi are nice.
Dude what was that ? I am iraqi and I did’t feel comfortable of you doing this !!! First of all that guy is a psycho the way he behaves is really weird and why he kept telling you not to talk to anyone , interesting 🤔. You could at least ask for is ID or something. I mean i feel sorry that you guys had experienced something like that .
When we were in the car and he was saying the things how we can trust him and not others I was ready to ask for credentials. I slid my phone to Conner with a note saying I wanna ask but he said we shouldn't.
Look man, that guy was a little bit possessive, but he is not a representation of Iraqis. You see the hospitality and friendliness of the citizens there. However, I think and feel he was being this way because you're a tourist and he was showing you around and was trying to keep you safe. You were under his watch at that time and was trying to make sure you were ok. I don't agree with how he handled the situation, but typically you'll see all friendliness in Iraq and with Iraqis.
My advice to you is to add arabic subtitles on your video so this/can get exposed. This is unacceptable and just gives a bad rep to Iraqis. I'm sorry for your bad experience! Edit: he might be a militia man, that's the vibe so you were lucky to escape with just photos!
Iam sorry for what you had to deal with but I laughed so hard when he convinced you to go to saddam place and it was 1000 nights restaurants area 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m not saying he’s lying or not but I know someone from Thailand who moved to my primary school many years ago now (at least 10+) and he doesn’t speak perfect English and does mess up words every now and again but that’s mainly because his family still only speak Thai 🤷♂️ and with this guy coz he lives in Iraq he could’ve lived in America but still doesn’t fully grasp English as English is one of the hardest languages (apparently) 🤷♂️
@@sealontourI know hence why I said “I’m not saying he’s lying or not”. My comment was in response to your “speech bubble” on screen saying “this man claims to be an American citizen and to have lived in the US for 8 years yet his English skills are still not the greatest”. Hence my comment. 😅
I’m glad we recorded this day cause if not, no one would have believed us. One of the most bizarre days of travel ever
Bro they try do that in turkey
In every country you will see the good and the bad, but these people are different even the Iraqi ones don’t trust them because you can see that, they just want to use you guys so they show people they’re big and powerful.
Anyways have a good trip and don’t trust people easily.

Wow bro, this was crazy! I could tell how uncomfortable you were when you guys were talking to the guy from afghanistan . Love the content always tho!

Ya man it was hella weird! Really wish I knew his motivation
Yep!! And now he doesn't even have to be a legal US citizen !!

@@lafayette1833 Yes I know thank you :)
Seal, you guys were DEFINITELY exploited. Your buddy’s assessment that they needed photos of American financial investors was probably spot-on. Those are great suits. You should mail them back home! You may need them for funerals or weddings or some sh#t! 😂
Honestly we just left them, I didn't say it in my video but i think in conner's video (when he posts) I kept saying I felt like a wh*re wearing the suits he bought us.
@@sealontour well you looked like a million dollar who-ah in that suite! Rofl at least you got a unique experience, for lack of a better word. &be thankful that it didn’t end up being much worse&nefarious.
this is weird. why would he buy you sautes and shows?
Come to england and ill take you to see the queen
Did you buy these suits from him , if yes how much?did he get money for guide you to these places?
No he bought the suits, it wasn’t a scam. He wanted to use us too look like American investors
@@sealontour We apologize for this☹️
You are amazing bro❤
He corrupted Iranian militia
You went to 1001 night park with suits, that’s fucking hilarious! 🤣 also ahmad knows the situation so he was trying to say don’t trust me guys! 😂
Bro I felt sooooo dumb
احمد خوش مشتغلهم ضحك
@@yaseenalyaseen5044😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was so angry the whole video because of this guy. You happen to meet one of the worst people out there. I'm Iraqi but I left my county years ago. I don't know how you managed to contain yourself around him. You know he doesn't represent the majority of people there.
15:16 this is me (i'm Seal) ANYTIME my friends dragged me around with some CREEPY DUDE just cuz they liked him & the dude had $... my (ex)friends being the American here 😅 Me trying to explain it's bs & not what i signed up for & themm just like "MYEAAAH.... myeahhh 🤷♀️" meanwhile I'm just trapped 🥲👍 hating it lol. GLAD IT EVENTUALLY WORKED OUT GUYS 🥴 i read the comments half way thru watching 😬 I felt so bad for the Afghani dude too, Seal - & that guy Akhmed was acting disrespectful to you & others & got very sensitive about any realness
UNLESS it involved bashing Afghanistan / America haha... kinda psyop ish 🫣
Weird
Can any Iraqi tell what happend here?
This man is with the Iraqi militias (gangs) and when the Afghan boy spoke, he was upset with him because he wanted to polish the image of the government he works with. He is a liar in everything he told you. I am Iraqi and on behalf of all Iraqis, I apologize to you for what happened.
He’s a kathib
At least you got a suit out of this, lol.
❤wrong place wrong time
I saw your video i laughed on that guy he looks wired. I’m sorry about that i hope i was there so i can show you all parts of iraq. So you can see how iraqi are nice.
That was some crazy ass shit! 😂😂. On a side note, did you notice how perfect his teeth were?
Dude what was that ? I am iraqi and I did’t feel comfortable of you doing this !!! First of all that guy is a psycho the way he behaves is really weird and why he kept telling you not to talk to anyone , interesting 🤔. You could at least ask for is ID or something. I mean i feel sorry that you guys had experienced something like that .
When we were in the car and he was saying the things how we can trust him and not others I was ready to ask for credentials. I slid my phone to Conner with a note saying I wanna ask but he said we shouldn't.
Look man, that guy was a little bit possessive, but he is not a representation of Iraqis. You see the hospitality and friendliness of the citizens there. However, I think and feel he was being this way because you're a tourist and he was showing you around and was trying to keep you safe. You were under his watch at that time and was trying to make sure you were ok. I don't agree with how he handled the situation, but typically you'll see all friendliness in Iraq and with Iraqis.
I feel sorry for u bro.
But thats hiw ur goverment treat us iraqis and arabs.....
My advice to you is to add arabic subtitles on your video so this/can get exposed. This is unacceptable and just gives a bad rep to Iraqis. I'm sorry for your bad experience!
Edit: he might be a militia man, that's the vibe so you were lucky to escape with just photos!
Iam sorry for what you had to deal with but I laughed so hard when he convinced you to go to saddam place and it was 1000 nights restaurants area 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m not saying he’s lying or not but I know someone from Thailand who moved to my primary school many years ago now (at least 10+) and he doesn’t speak perfect English and does mess up words every now and again but that’s mainly because his family still only speak Thai 🤷♂️ and with this guy coz he lives in Iraq he could’ve lived in America but still doesn’t fully grasp English as English is one of the hardest languages (apparently) 🤷♂️
His English wasn't perfect no but that still has really nothing to do with his intentions and how he used us this day
@@sealontourI know hence why I said “I’m not saying he’s lying or not”.
My comment was in response to your “speech bubble” on screen saying “this man claims to be an American citizen and to have lived in the US for 8 years yet his English skills are still not the greatest”. Hence my comment. 😅
Noticed that hes in the center of the pic. This was all for him.
