Hey subbies, new video up & thanks alot for your patience. I know this video has been requested for some time now but I finally got the chance to create. Leave comments guys! Very important 💜 xoxo
Toland Baj you were quite entertaining and truthful in your commentary. I've always marvled at Nigerians and how proud they are. You have quenched my curiosity as to how they treat women, its sad that we have( black women as a whole) to behave dominant in order to protect our feminity. Keep your head up and I wish you all the best O....
For anyone planning on making a Trip to Nigeria it is important that you know someone there, just like she said. I lived in Port Harcourt a little over a Year. When i get off the plane everyone has their hand out asking for money. No lie i'm not even exaggerating. I'm coming all the way from Cali and I tell them it's not easy for Black Folks in California and I'm definitely not Rich. Even when I was leaving they were asking for money like i was Bank of America... The roads are not great in Nigeria. Also the Electricity is not steady. I went 30 days without Electricity in Port Harcourt, but in Lagos the Electricity seem to stay on longer there. I mean it will stay on for 12 hours straight and cut off for about an hour or two and come right back on for like 8 hours. Port Harcourt, the longest it ever stayed on straight out there was 6 Hours then it will go off for about 2 to 3 days before it comes back on... Also you have to negotiate everything just about in Nigeria. The only thing i like is how the food is Fresh and the food is good and healthy as well. Because of the Humidity you will lose weight easily especially eating their food. Also they do not cook their BEEF real tender they like it tough and well done, like you will lose a tooth biting down on their Beef and Goat meat.. Well if you want to know more just ask. Because the Poverty is Great in Nigeria.
Legit you have to be on the brink of rudeness and being very harsh to be heard and respected as a woman. I’m glad you were promoting to keep morals in tact as that has gone out the window for a lot of girls!
As a man let me defend nigerian women.: Most of the girls does not have her resources, for example, you have to feed your mom and brothers and morals does not help on that issue, lets not forget the country that we are talking about, you can have morals when you have resources to defend yourself
do not reply dumb people Don’t think so BUT. It ALMOST seem as if you’re defending amorality in your defense of Nigerian women. Are you saying that the women have to feed their relatives and the nation has no resource so......morals can legitimately take a back seat. Almost sounds like pimp talk. It’s good not to judge a woman for trying to survive any way she can. But with so many agreed,can the man now see the woman as a resource? .When do MOST Nigerian, African and/or Globally men of African decent take full responsibility for the state of the black woman and children? ALL sub Saharan African rulers are black men from the villages to the presidents. The Global state of the African and the diaspora is abysmal. Why are there no resources? The white man has taken care of his woman and children by any means necessary. This is a good defense of the Nigerian woman or any African woman but she will need MUCH MOOORE than explanations here.
@@pointofgrace3002 Men are the protectors of the community but you cannot take full responsibility for grown people. I'm not from Africa but that's just facts. Because Black women here in America are realizing the downfalls of being masculine, and not appreciating men by the high babymama stats and low marriage rates. To sum it all up basically you can't expect people to protect you from your own bad decisions accountability is part of being a adult
I think this video is more for people who wish to move or live in Lagos not Nigeria as a whole. I see a lot of generalisations. You dont have to behave crazy to live in Nigeria except for lagos. Most Nigerian generally see lagosians as crazy people. As a Nigerian living in Nigeria, I cant stand Lagos. Its too stressful and crazy. I remember when I was preparing for a professional exam and some colleagues came from lagos and they were asking if they had to wake up at 4am to be at the venue for the exams, those of us living in Abuja had to explain to them that Abuja is not like that. I cant imagine leaving home at 4am to be at a functon that was slated for 10am. That is the definition of crazy and no wonder most Lagosians are crazy. For anyone who has lived abroad and wishes to live in Nigeria, Abuja is the place for you. Some people suggest Jos too but I cant say much about it, because I have not lived there.
Lol 🤣🤣🤣This comment got me rolling. But it's true, Lagos is crazy. The 4am part is very sadly accurate. Even when my cousin cousin from Abuja came for visit and we had to go somewhere and catch the bus....home girl was walking to slowly and taking her time. I'm like girl, I don't know where you think you are, but this is Lagos you have to hurry up😂😂😂. So sad and crazy at the same time.
@@alinaegbunike3517 thank you for explaining well..i have lived in Nigeria all my life and haven't experienced many of the things she said..it should be captioned moving to Lagos.
She is literally speaking fact, I’m a Nigerian and I grew up in Lagos but I’m sorry, a lot of people is not normal. You just have to be crazy to survive there. I can’t go back to Lagos cause Lagos lifestyle is toxic and very bad for your mental health 😢 BUT ! If you lived in Lagos and apply the life anywhere in the world. Bruh you will survive 👌
True the are better places in Nigeria like Enugu Calabar Abuja this places are where people that come from abroad can easily adapt Lagos is not one of them.
Agreed, they can always take long weekends in Lagos for the vibe and the scene. Unless they are coming from a stressful places like NY etc it my be too steep of a learning curve. I'm biased though.
Lagos is particularly rough. I have suffered in that place. You really need a good support system and an inner circle that truly love you. Most people just want something .Even with all their smiles it ends up being about them. There is no kindness.
I think your topic should have been life in Lagos, not life in Nigeria. Truth be told everybody is mad in lag. But life is very different in the north. And as an Uber driver I bet you’ll love life in the FCT
I’m moving back with my husband I love it but yet understand the struggle you sound so much like me so I must be crazy but my family that I love is there God bless sister
Thank you! I am American and I been there twice and thought I was the crazy one or maybe just "typical arrogant American." Because I use logic and speak up against things that don't make any sense and against rudeness. Lagos Nigeria boggles the mind. I feel sane now after listening to you speak on the nonsense.
You nailed it 100%. This is a good description of life in Lagos. To be honest, even some of us in Nigeria can't live in Lagos. The life is too rough for me. I was born and grew up in Jos, Plateau state. I can't stand the hustle and bustle of Lagos life. I will rather live in Jos or Abuja.
We're together in this, was born and brought up in Jos also. That lagos was an entire different country for me when I stayed there. It's easier if you're wealthy.
@@sandraokafor9532 absolutely. And the mistake a lot of people make is when they visit Lagos from the abroad and have bitter experiences, they will generalise and say 'Nigeria is this and that' forgetting Lagos though the commercial capital of the country, is not a representative of a country of 36 states with 200+ million people, with different cultures and ways of living. My simple advice is if you are moving from abroad to Nigeria and don't like the stress and hustle and bustle of a cosmopolitan city, Lagos is definitely not the best place for you because you will be frustrated 😤.
Absolutely informative. You are interesting. I still consider entering the industry. I am from Chicago. I look forward to life in Nigeria, my father's birthplace. I am subscribed and shall live vicariously through you, for now
Nice video but I have to call you out on the statement, “home grown Nigerian women have mastered the art of finessing their way to get money from men” or something like that. I think that’s hasty generalization, because there’re legit women here who don’t depend on a man for shit. So I feel like you should correct that next time. Again, nice video 👍🏽
Very hasty generalisation. And the she said something about women can't really live the way they want without living off men 😡... like I've never live off men and I was born and brought up in Lagos.
She is speaking from her wealth of experience. We all know how showbiz and movie/song industry is which she is more familiar with. Not like she did not have a few experiences in Nigerian corporate however it shows that it is very minimal, anyway, what can you see within a year?
@Sabrina Accent won't get you anywhere in Lagos, u gotta switch up to Nigerian accent to boost your network and blend in, save money or else u getting finessed and fleeced overpriced, and blocked out here quick. Chiraq knows how to get with the program Gdup. Ma goo ra e man. You ever noticed why banky W switched? boya lomo. you ever wonder why sauce kid sinzu didn't make it in the music business with an accent during every interview? u ever wonder why iceberg slim didn't make it? boyalomo. jara ee man . gotta understand how to get to the bag with ease.
I really like this girl. Very real! I don’t live in Nigeria, but she’s describing a lot Nigerians. USERS Whether it’s an Man or Woman, they just love getting things they didn’t work for. Only a few are deeply good hearted.
I love you and respect you. You nailed it. I'm trying to move back to Nigeria too. One thing you said that makes me happy is having my passport at anytime I can move back to where I belong if its too messy for me..I'm a warrior but age is not on my side.. I know I can do it..Thanks .❤❤❤
Hi Tolani came across your VLOG by accident and I loved it, one of the best I’ve seen, I suppose it’s because I live in the West and I’m seriously thinking of starting a business there next year... So my dear keep saying it how it is. People like me find your advice invaluable
As someone who visited Nigeria (alone) lol all of this is extremely accurate even down to the mannerism and is defiantly helpful to anyone who wants to visit.
Nigeria has 36 states and Lagos is just 1, the characteristics of Nigerians can't be judge by a visit to Lagos.The characters in Lagos is multi-national,people from all over black nations dwells in Lagos,there are so many cool city and states in Nigeria,is all about choice.
Thank you for this video, you kept it 100 and was raw with what you mentioned, you also helped me learn things that I didn't know about Nigeria. To conclude, Nigeria is not for the weak or the faint hearted, especially those who are considering relocating. Lower your expectations and always be alert and observant.
Nigeria is 36 states though, so some states may be a much softer landing. It's like moving to NY with all the hustling people that need that grit to make it.
I just love Tolanibaj, kudos to you girl more wins and please more story time. I can't wait to see you back on TH-cam. I can relate to so many things you say love you and positive vibes all the way 😍😍😍😍😍
I love your energy, you remind me of a classmate I was gaga about in school, same energy and confidence. I just realized why I like you this much from the bbn show, besides looking like another friend in some way
Tolani I love what you said regarding this content an congratulations going back to Nigeria. There are challenges there but just know what your doing know your A game 🙏🏿👍🏿✊🏿😎 Wow you know how things work in Nigeria, you learned so much your the real deal girl nobody can Moogoo you O 😄😆
People complaining about Nigeria, Lagos is rough and rude please visit new york.or any other cities in the world, you will see that Lagos is not difference.
But she didn’t go to New York and many people that live in NY already know they are rude. What’s your point? So if someone is rude and I point it out they can point the finger to another person? What does that have to do with your own rude behavior? Don’t be a little child pointing the finger at others.
Thank you Realest! The challenge of house hunting mehn 🤦🏾♀️ I’m borrowing “Plans never go as planned.” Lmao need masculine energy and knowing how to finesse! That’s a challenge for me as well - I’d rather phone a friend. “Are you psycho!”🤣🤣🤣🤣 You have way too many punchlines - it’s amazing! Good job as always! Editing, quality, presentation, all on point. 🙋🏾♀️want the tea on the firing 😁
I grew up here in Nigeria but I don't know how to finesse any body. I manage my salary and fix my lifestyle within what I earn. But, I didn't grow up in Lagos, got posted to lagos for NYSC in 2015 and I have mastered when to be calm, aggressive and quite frankly, haughty. The speaking up part is true. When you speak up, the others hide behind you and complain in private, but won't speak up in meetings and such, and you are the only one talking, they start seeing you as the stubborn, defiant one. But, it is well!
U don't have to be loud or aggressive to be a Nigerian, only Lagosians do those things. Try living in Abuja and u will see the calm ones, where u don't shout to pass a point!..... Yea Nigerians can be crazy sometimes but we also have a lot of them that are calm as well. PS: the police response in central Abuja is quite impressive.
Thanks for the heads up. I'm a American white guy moving there this year with my soon to be wife. She was born in Nigeria and wants us to be married there. Ive not traveled much in my life and it will be a huge step for me. She is in Lagos right now on modeling assignment. The LORD introduced us to each other. And I'm trusting the Lord and my soon to be wife to make my transition a good one. I was dismayed to learn Lagos is right on the Ocean and I CAN NOT live near the Ocean for fear of the 🌊. It's goes back to nightmares I had as a small child. Wish me good luck. Thanks.
@@amehka5416 ive learned that much of Lagos is run on generators. It just so happens that I'm a certified diesel mechanic and worked on generators in the military. I'm sure I'd have no trouble finding work or starting a business fixing diesel generators.. thanks for the welcome!
I admire your courage, luckily for you , your moving back to Nigeria has paid off, we now know you from Big brother as a celebrity, may God direct our steps to greatness
Very informative. I'm inquiring about dual citizenship. I have traveled for the past 3 years and I believe I will be fine to live there. I found my church home, my husband and his family are very supportive. I need to be able to travel back and forth, as well as my husband. Thank God for your platform. Its needed 🙏🏽
Thank you for this video! I wish you all the best my beautiful sister! May God bless you and continue to uphold your faith and moral values!!! I love this vid!!!
Lol, I remember when Tolani sparked for Armed Soldiers at AirForce Base Ikeja. Tolani changed it for the soldier. Omo, I wondered how this slim lady has a huge confidence. Thanks for keeping it real.

Hey Tolanibaj my name is Andrew D. I started watching your videos because I love your personality as a woman and as an individual. I wish you the best outside the BBN house. I'm here to show love and support for life. I'm #TeamTolanibaj. I hope you get your heart desires soonest and achieve your goals. I'll see you soon. By the way I'm a musician
Most capital cities or big cities worldwide are more hectic than other parts of the country. It is not a reflection of the country as a whole or people as a whole. I live in the UK and depending upon what city or town I visit, my experience is always different.
Hi, Tolani. I'm interested in learning more on how one gets into modeling in Nigeria. Not asking for myself, but someone who lives there but doesn't know how to get started nor who to ask. Thank you!
I'm not sure how this got recommended to me but I'm so happy I watched it. I just love your energy... I'm going to subscribe so you can get this TH-cam money keep living your best life sis 🥰
😂😂😂Tolani you are a character,I swear 🤞🏽😅very informative. Funny how most of the things you mentioned are things I feared would be , based Niaja folks in my home country.
Doing NYSC is soft landing for returning to Nigeria. You get to meet other returnees at their honest level, no excess pretense. I did it on my return and most of the contacts I have to date are from NYSC.
Just seeing this ! Beautiful Brave young lady. Proud of you daughter ! I sense you spoke honestly from your experience. Have Similar experience and observations in Jamaica WI especially in the city. Lived in NYC ,US. for many years and SOME similar issues as well. Maybe the big over crowded cities bring out the worst in peoples .
Nigeria has 36 states and Lagos is just 1, the characteristics of Nigerians can't be judge by a visit to Lagos.The characters in Lagos is multi-national,people from all over black nations dwells in Lagos,there are so many cool cities and states in Nigeria,is all about choice.We are dealing with high level of corruption,as a matter of fact,a corrupt leader in Nigeria can pay salaries of some countries for years,still that doesn't make us poor,you can survive moving to Nigeria because resources in Nigeria are not limited and Nigerians are not good in profiling people by nations and colours.But to be sincere with you,Nigeria is a child of necessity.
Just realised that the apartment by the beach is actually now my brother's. It sucks that you didn't get it because of the way you were dressed. Really enjoyed your video.
@@Dude-dx5ns Who hurt you Jadesola. My brother didn't even know who was competing for the flat with him, and he had no say who the flat would be given to. He is not the agent. He was searching for a flat, went for a viewing and the flat was offered to him. Please, rest.
Hi this was so interesting for me . I’m planning on also moving to Lagos sometime in the future with my husband ( Igbo ) and 2 young sons . I’m quite the opposite of strong 💪 etc so I will just follow my husband ‘s instructions on everything when I’m there . Luckily I can often visit Cape Town while living there and really excited about that !( I’m South African) . So I hope it can be a fun new life .
@@babiulilate4754 hi sis I’m actually not there yet . We are still in Cape Town at the moment . Where in Nigeria are you going ? I wish you best of luck .

Abuja is actually a better first place mover to Nigeria than Lagos for Africans in diaspora.
Agreed, they can always take long weekends in Lagos for the vibe and the scene. Unless they are coming from a stressful places like NY etc it my be too steep of a learning curve. I'm biased though.

Neat!!! Totally different from the norms. You just got yourself a new subscriber. Cheers😊
This vid had wayyy more and better details about living in Nigeria than most other "Living in Nigeria" vids.
Ty
Most helpful I've seen, thank you!
As someone who visited Nigeria (alone) lol all of this is extremely accurate even down to the mannerism and is defiantly helpful to anyone who wants to visit.
Thanks girl💕
Nigeria has 36 states and Lagos is just 1, the characteristics of Nigerians can't be judge by a visit to Lagos.The characters in Lagos is multi-national,people from all over black nations dwells in Lagos,there are so many cool city and states in Nigeria,is all about choice.
Nne, you couldn't be more right, I fight everyday because I'm vocal and it makes them feel insecure
I’m an American but hope to visit Nigeria soon. You were very important with a fun personality and you look fye! Subscribed
I have been debating moving back now for the past year but I’m very hesitant..thanks for this video
Just two points: Lagos is NOT Nigeria but IN Nigeria and Lagos lifestyle is hardly for normal people anyway.
I had two of my Nigerian friends say to me “You would have to make me the Lagos State Governor for me to live in Lagos “
Lol at not for normal people. It does tend to bring the crazy out of me too.
Thank you for this video, you kept it 100 and was raw with what you mentioned, you also helped me learn things that I didn't know about Nigeria. To conclude, Nigeria is not for the weak or the faint hearted, especially those who are considering relocating. Lower your expectations and always be alert and observant.
You’re welcome & thanks for watching 💕
Nigeria is 36 states though, so some states may be a much softer landing. It's like moving to NY with all the hustling people that need that grit to make it.
Hushpuppi needs you! Brilliant! Cheers mates!!
You are the best. Thank you dear I lived in the California for 35 moved back 2014 it's been hellish but things are just getting better
I just love Tolanibaj, kudos to you girl more wins and please more story time. I can't wait to see you back on TH-cam. I can relate to so many things you say love you and positive vibes all the way 😍😍😍😍😍
I love your energy, you remind me of a classmate I was gaga about in school, same energy and confidence. I just realized why I like you this much from the bbn show, besides looking like another friend in some way
Lol the restaurant is very very accurate 😂 I’m fully entertained
Thank you😃
Girl congratulations on moving back to africa. I too have dual citizenship and just moved back to my country.
Really really enjoyed this video and I love how you are so straight to the point! 💕💕
This just proved how American I am. I'm glad I watched this because I want to work to move to the continent. And I don't want to be taken for a fool
She's assessing Nigeria not the entire continent
@@chukwumaubanesse6605 yh, Lagos in Nigeria BTW the industrial state of Nigeria.
Chuma Igbeke im sure she’s aware of that
this is so cute 😭
Tolani I love what you said regarding this content an congratulations going back to Nigeria. There are challenges there but just know what your doing know your A game 🙏🏿👍🏿✊🏿😎
Wow you know how things work in Nigeria, you learned so much your the real deal girl nobody can Moogoo you O 😄😆
People complaining about Nigeria, Lagos is rough and rude please visit new york.or any other cities in the world, you will see that Lagos is not difference.
But she didn’t go to New York and many people that live in NY already know they are rude. What’s your point? So if someone is rude and I point it out they can point the finger to another person? What does that have to do with your own rude behavior? Don’t be a little child pointing the finger at others.
@@michellete8545 No the point is them making Lagos look terrible.
Flim & Comedy Lagos IS terrible. Stop complaining at her stating facts for free. Do better instead of complaining.
NYers are fucking nice compared to Lagosians lol. Fake news.
I'm saving to reach Nigeria. Got a Nigerian husband and I have to teach him everything too. So he's preparing me for Niga!
Thank you Realest!
The challenge of house hunting mehn 🤦🏾♀️
I’m borrowing “Plans never go as planned.”
Lmao need masculine energy and knowing how to finesse! That’s a challenge for me as well - I’d rather phone a friend.
“Are you psycho!”🤣🤣🤣🤣
You have way too many punchlines - it’s amazing!
Good job as always! Editing, quality, presentation, all on point.
🙋🏾♀️want the tea on the firing 😁
TOLANI 💖💖 the HONESTY Keep Doing You!! The TRUTH is BITTER but it must be SPOKEN! GO GIRL!!🔥🔥🔥
Straight Talk my Girl🌹🌄🎼Bigups.🌲.
I grew up here in Nigeria but I don't know how to finesse any body. I manage my salary and fix my lifestyle within what I earn. But, I didn't grow up in Lagos, got posted to lagos for NYSC in 2015 and I have mastered when to be calm, aggressive and quite frankly, haughty.
The speaking up part is true. When you speak up, the others hide behind you and complain in private, but won't speak up in meetings and such, and you are the only one talking, they start seeing you as the stubborn, defiant one. But, it is well!
Omgggg I love the way you talk, your beautiful and funny lmaoooo ima subscribe! 🤣🤣❤️
U don't have to be loud or aggressive to be a Nigerian, only Lagosians do those things. Try living in Abuja and u will see the calm ones, where u don't shout to pass a point!..... Yea Nigerians can be crazy sometimes but we also have a lot of them that are calm as well.
PS: the police response in central Abuja is quite impressive.
Try living with the Edos then you will know that Lagosians are way calmer.
Loool...... Nigerians are angry regardless of Location..
Hahaha..nailed it...Lagos I can never live there...mifaruwo..Lagosians abroad...I bow for una Ooo..Na greetings though..
AnneMarie Onche Lol Benin calm somehow sha
Thanks for the heads up. I'm a American white guy moving there this year with my soon to be wife. She was born in Nigeria and wants us to be married there. Ive not traveled much in my life and it will be a huge step for me. She is in Lagos right now on modeling assignment. The LORD introduced us to each other. And I'm trusting the Lord and my soon to be wife to make my transition a good one. I was dismayed to learn Lagos is right on the Ocean and I CAN NOT live near the Ocean for fear of the 🌊. It's goes back to nightmares I had as a small child. Wish me good luck. Thanks.
They're love you... you're white.
@@amehka5416 ive learned that much of Lagos is run on generators. It just so happens that I'm a certified diesel mechanic and worked on generators in the military. I'm sure I'd have no trouble finding work or starting a business fixing diesel generators.. thanks for the welcome!
I admire your courage, luckily for you , your moving back to Nigeria has paid off, we now know you from Big brother as a celebrity, may God direct our steps to greatness
Very informative. I'm inquiring about dual citizenship. I have traveled for the past 3 years and I believe I will be fine to live there. I found my church home, my husband and his family are very supportive. I need to be able to travel back and forth, as well as my husband. Thank God for your platform. Its needed 🙏🏽
Thank you for this video! I wish you all the best my beautiful sister! May God bless you and continue to uphold your faith and moral values!!! I love this vid!!!
Lol, I remember when Tolani sparked for Armed Soldiers at AirForce Base Ikeja. Tolani changed it for the soldier. Omo, I wondered how this slim lady has a huge confidence. Thanks for keeping it real.

So inspiring I can’t wait to visit
I really tried not to subscribe 😂😂😂 I did already. I love this 😁😁😁😁
Tolani! Love your chat mehn 😍😍
Nice video, very insightful. could you do a video about your positive experiences about moving back to Nigeria, or is it all bad?
Hey Tolanibaj my name is Andrew D. I started watching your videos because I love your personality as a woman and as an individual. I wish you the best outside the BBN house. I'm here to show love and support for life. I'm #TeamTolanibaj. I hope you get your heart desires soonest and achieve your goals.
I'll see you soon. By the way I'm a musician
Most capital cities or big cities worldwide are more hectic than other parts of the country. It is not a reflection of the country as a whole or people as a whole. I live in the UK and depending upon what city or town I visit, my experience is always different.
Love it..... I am a black American female and that was really funny.
Hi, Tolani. I'm interested in learning more on how one gets into modeling in Nigeria. Not asking for myself, but someone who lives there but doesn't know how to get started nor who to ask. Thank you!
I'm not sure how this got recommended to me but I'm so happy I watched it. I just love your energy... I'm going to subscribe so you can get this TH-cam money keep living your best life sis 🥰
Seems like nothing much as changed since i left. Only that I was timid then but when I go back, nobody should try me oo 😂😂
😂😂😂 they need to come correct
@@TOLANIBAJ Facts though..
You’re an entire mood. I love you already. 💎
Nice one sis! I don't usually subscribe and like but I did for u😘
😂😂😂Tolani you are a character,I swear 🤞🏽😅very informative. Funny how most of the things you mentioned are things I feared would be , based Niaja folks in my home country.
Doing NYSC is soft landing for returning to Nigeria. You get to meet other returnees at their honest level, no excess pretense. I did it on my return and most of the contacts I have to date are from NYSC.
😂😂😂 I love how you talk and you are real
A better understanding of the trolls and drags. Much respect for ladies🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Gosh you are so on point. I have experienced every bit of this!!!
Please do a video on how you got fired for speaking up, this video was very informative! I’m subscribing
I think this is one of your best videos
You are hilarious. Really love your sense of humor.
This is the first video of you I watched and I LIKE YOUUUUU!!! New subbieeee
Just seeing this ! Beautiful Brave young lady. Proud of you daughter ! I sense you spoke honestly from your experience. Have Similar experience and observations in Jamaica WI especially in the city. Lived in NYC ,US. for many years and SOME similar issues as well. Maybe the big over crowded cities bring out the worst in peoples .
Queen I love your channel, PERIODT‼️
Thanks for your insight, I’m planning to move to Nigeria after my degree.
You're talking about Lagos, Lagos is not the whole country. Nice video BTW.
I love you ehn! I said what I said 😌 peeeriod 😭😂🔥
100% correct. I lived in PHC for 4 years 🇿🇦
Nigeria has 36 states and Lagos is just 1, the characteristics of Nigerians can't be judge by a visit to Lagos.The characters in Lagos is multi-national,people from all over black nations dwells in Lagos,there are so many cool cities and states in Nigeria,is all about choice.We are dealing with high level of corruption,as a matter of fact,a corrupt leader in Nigeria can pay salaries of some countries for years,still that doesn't make us poor,you can survive moving to Nigeria because resources in Nigeria are not limited and Nigerians are not good in profiling people by nations and colours.But to be sincere with you,Nigeria is a child of necessity.
I’m visiting soon from USA would love to meet u love your channel 💜
Finally someone I can relate to. I am considering moving to Nigeria and I am in the music industry myself
Love it! Thanks for the tips❤️
Your experience and decision is quite inspiring, and you are a very Sharp girl, I like you
You hit the nail on the head with this one!!
Just realised that the apartment by the beach is actually now my brother's. It sucks that you didn't get it because of the way you were dressed. Really enjoyed your video.
Tell your brother to dump his irritatingly misogynist views. It's disgusting.
@@Dude-dx5ns Who hurt you Jadesola. My brother didn't even know who was competing for the flat with him, and he had no say who the flat would be given to. He is not the agent. He was searching for a flat, went for a viewing and the flat was offered to him. Please, rest.
Hi this was so interesting for me . I’m planning on also moving to Lagos sometime in the future with my husband ( Igbo ) and 2 young sons . I’m quite the opposite of strong 💪 etc so I will just follow my husband ‘s instructions on everything when I’m there . Luckily I can often visit Cape Town while living there and really excited about that !( I’m South African) . So I hope it can be a fun new life .
Hey Sis...
How's it going?
I'm moving there next year and nam I'm south African...
Please share your story.
@@babiulilate4754 hi sis I’m actually not there yet . We are still in Cape Town at the moment . Where in Nigeria are you going ? I wish you best of luck .
Possibly Abuja but likely Lagos...
Babe u always on point. Naija no be pikin playing ground
