Ah, you must be in the U.S. now! I'm like you, born in the U.S., lived in Lagos from toddler to teens then returned to U.S. now with 3 children and desperate for my boys to know the type of care-free life I enjoyed as a kid growing up in Nigeria. I remember playing outside with friends after school till the sun started to set and then it was dinner time. I could never allow my children to actually play outside our house. With all that's going on in the U.S. these days, my spirit won't allow me. Besides, no one else's children are outside! We have everything that money can allow one to buy but something's missing. My children had an absolute blast the first time they went home 2 yrs ago. Hope to see more of your videos!
You are smart! Please don't let your kids play outside without adult supervision. Kids have been kidnapped while waiting for school bus or playing in front yard in the US.
The freedom that my daughter experienced is priceless. It is even more the interaction with other kids. The parents were also like kids are kids. they let them sort it out. haha .
@@geneviveross4234 There is kidnapping every Genevieve, it's not like people stand on the streets looking for who to kidnap. If you take the same precautions you'd take anywhere else in the world, you will be fine in Lagos. Nigeria is not as scary as she is portrayed. People live normal every day lives here.
@@samuelolaogun9044 nigerians like to insult their country .. Even if the country is not easy, We should not bring down our country Don't expect a foreigner to respect nigerians if we don't respect ourself (Sorry for the fault english is not my first language)
From your video I can see there has been a lot of improvement at the airport compare with 2018 when I visited Nigeria. It is always fun to visit home but the stress is just a bit of the price to pay for visiting. The airport could have been more fun and less stress if only those multitude of people with no reason to be at the airport can stay away. The begging culture won’t go away because people working at the airport prefer it more than their salary. Thanks 👍
Yeah i see lots of improvements for sure. I think if it can be limited to providing services, i don't mind, Things like helping find your luggage, getting a cart etc. But not just for the jobs that they are already paid to do.
Are you planning to go back to Nigeria soon? Please let me know so I can tag along with you. I want to visit Nigeria but the whole process of getting biometric, visa and tickets is so complicated. Btw, I really love your calm voice and nice demeanor and your video content deserves Oscar award. I have learned so much about Nigeria thru your videos. Would love to see Nigeria in person soon.
@@thenigeriannomadAw.. ❤️ that’s right!this video was 3 months ago not recently😍. I plan to visit Abuja in August if everything goes as planned. I am a female traveling alone so it’s kinda scary. But I want to visit Nigeria so bad. Not sure what are the Covid testing requirements now for travelers that already vaccinated? I want to give up my traveling plan after watching your saga with Covid tests through the entire trip and at Germany airport.
Na wa o. I thought they stopped all that begi begi since Fashola time. I’m going to miss your adventure videos and Abiola. Please don’t stop making your videos even in the US.
I ran in the Spartan Race here in the States in 2019 it was so much fun talking about a workout for real, thank you so much for the video trust me it helps.
Wow that is a lot okay I didn't know you lived over here in America I am American what part of America do you live at thank you for sharing sorry you had to go through all that with your family looking forward to seeing your next log one love
Enjoying your videos bro. Oh yes, the song of the airport staff..."Do you have something for your brother/sister?" 🤣🤣 I hope that the new international terminal will provided more efficiency and less redundancy as you said. I laughed when watching because you were standing exactly in a same place as me when I left from Lagos last year, 😂. Nice works.
Just discovered your content. Watched the mainland v island video first ( you nailed it ) - this airport one is also on point. The money issue is still going on. I experienced it on arrival at Lagos a couple of years back (2017), with immigration and police on departure. They went through luggage asking for things ( gave away a portable speaker), which I didn’t really mind giving away anyway, but it is frustrating in terms of the number of checks/delays and the awkward conversations around solicitation of money from those travelling. Keep up the great content. Subscribed. 🔥🙌🏽🦅
@@thenigeriannomad no shaking, brother. Yeah it is. Your story is inspirational. To hear that you juggle all those business ventures, whilst having a family. And to see and hear your obvious love and passion for Naija, despite all the well-documented challenges. Kudos and may more blessings come to you! More grease to your elbow. Keep producing the great content and inspiring people! 🙌🏽💚🦅.
Hey Buddy... have a safe trip. Your videos have shown the positives of Lagos and hope our generation help change attitudes. Awesome ! Enjoyed it and sub Like the fat you didnt give money, hopefully many dont give to stop this long standing culture of " Wetin you fit give me jive " lol
Bayo, I remember giving these so called tips at the Port Harcourt airport upon my departure for the US. Believe me I actually ran out of Nairas by the time I arrived at the boarding area. The immigration officer asked for tip, and so did those checking my luggage and the security personnel. I was cracking up when you mentioned your "tips" experience. 😂😂😂😂
Am in Zurich 🇨🇭 Switzerland ,I was not able to come last year cos I miss my holiday due to Covid-19, I miss home soooo much cos I come every year and your Video really help to keep the spirit of be home.enjoy watching your video.safe trip pro 😎
I am leaving Nigeria to USA on the on November 9th. I did the travel portal to come into the country. Do I need to do another travel portal in order to leave the country. On the website it states that you must have a Negative COVID-PCR test to enter US do i need to upload this again or just bring a copy to the airport as proof of negative PCR? Thanks so much for all you do I love your videos
Omg!! What a mess u have to go through, I'm not looking forward to that entering to and from my visit to Nigeria. Thanks for sharing all your videos there in Lagos , looks like great fun there. Be safe and God Bless.
Going through Nigerian airport is hell. I do not give jack at the airports. They get paid to do their jobs. I travel light like you as well. It is disgusting, to say the least.
My last visit to Nigeria was 2014 before my daughter’s wedding , I am a Citizen and don’t deserve the stress of going home or going back. Nothing has changed regarding the stupid behaviors of some staff members. They need to hire someone who can clean up the systems.
I'm travelling to lagos next month, the country is very interesting except the leadership and vision for the country, I will be there just to do my own thing for six weeks and I'm done.
@@samuelolaogun9044 Same with you here:) The west is called developed because some people developed it. Africans are the ones that will develop Africa whether we like it or not. The sooner we wake to the reality the better for us.
@@memyself5412 Yes I agreed with you unfortunately the government had the resources while individual like me or you can only do little. I'm doing by best in my own capacity to employ more than 15 people's but only government that can do more like roads, light, water, communication above all security.
@@djmark7219 Nigeria is a wonderful country with wonderful people. I think you have been hurt and disappointed. I can feel your paine through your words. don't give up. instead take action
@@thenigeriannomad Nigeria is wonderful country? I don't think so Nigeria expired 2014, wonderful, no road, no security, no job, no water, light Zero, no school, education zero, terrorists yes, kidnapers yes, boko haram yes, bandit yes, fulani terrorist yes, ISIL yes, second in the world most terrorists country, u know how many people die in that wonderful country every day, if u kill pets here is 3 years jail, I live here now since 2010, no black out light steady, they celebrate 35 years steady light, Nigeria a country where private jets is more than hospital and ambulance.
Hello bayo please can I get a visitor visa to visit the u.s through my girlfriend sending me an invitation Will the u.s embassy be able to give me a visa
@@thenigeriannomad Nope! Each time I visited I got really upset with the guys at Lagos Airport. All Through my journey from California I feel no issue until you get that Airport seeing officials looking mean and desperate. I usually tell them I feel harassed. People should feel welcome not the other way round.
But why are you showing us all these ? Is this the first time you are travelling or seeing the air port ? You behave like a village man who is seeing the air port for the first time
People just come on line to expose themselves un-necessarily. There is no need for all these. Is not every thing you come out online to share. There are things that are meant to private to you..
