      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.

    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.

      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.

      @@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 😤.

    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.
