Inside Northern Nigeria (government told me not to come) 

Nigeria is such a diverse, culturally rich country. There is so much to see and so many interesting people to meet and talk to. Thank you to all the Nigerian people for your outstanding hospitality towards me. Stay up to date with these travels and for photos of this incredible country check out my instagram here: instagram.com/indigo.traveller/ Thank you for watching. Nick

Your tour guide isn't getting the appreciation he deserves. The guy is really amazing.

It’s always stirring when he ends videos with “and if I don’t see you again . . .” He believes in what he’s doing. I feel so privileged to watch someone getting so much mileage out of living.

Even me as a Nigerian I don’t ever plan on visiting the North. Kudos to you brother

I hardly see foreign vlogers(even Nigerian vlogers for that matter) covering Northern Nigeria. God bless you for your bravery 🙏

My mum was born in Northern Nigeria. She and my grandparents had to flee to Southern Nigeria because The Fulani’s and Hausas were killing a lot of Igbo’s. This was in the period leading up to the Biafra War. My grandfather who is ethnically Hausa knew his wife and daughter wasn’t safe in the north no longer so he left behind all he knew and set up a new life in Enugu. He lived there until his passing in 92.

I’m Nigerian. Live in Calabar which is in the South South region. I watched this because I’m completely ignorant about the north spare what I hear on the news. I’m so shocked at how different it is from what I know. Nigeria really is two countries.

To the kid who wants to be a businessman: You go dude, you've got my full support, and hope that you become sucessfull so you can help kids get education. May your entreprenuerial spirit grow more!

Even Nigerians don’t go to Northern Nigeria. Kudos to you. I grew up in Kaduna, I went back a few years ago. It’s been radicalized and I felt very unsafe. Thank you for your bravery.

We need to take a moment and really thank him for making these videos. The quality of his work is outstanding. He’s really bringing awareness to the humanitarian issues countries are facing around the world. As an American I truly feel more appreciative of my life after watching these. These people live with the bare minimum and they seem so happy. We could all learn something from them. Thank you Indigo!

This was the one I was waiting for, because I live in Northern Nigeria. Since the Ibadan clip, I refreshed your channel at least twice a day for an update. Thanks for all that you do!!!

I really love how you are letting your guide and taxi driver shine in giving them an oulet to speak their mind. You seem like a great human being, keep on doing what you're doing.

Been watching this whole series in Nigeria. I really have to say what stood out the most to me was how nice, warm and friendly the people are. Really enjoying watching it Nick thank you.

As someone who comes from this part of Nigeria, I feel happy to see someone showing my people and culture to the world. Thank you very much.

The wealth disparity makes me sad but that is an issue in every country. Please don’t stop this series, Nick. It’s so good. I would love to see some of the areas in the east.

Bro, I follow many travel channels and NONE provide footage this raw with lots of interaction with locals and cultural/social background like you do. You have a gift for capturing the essence the countries you visit. I've watched your videos on Nigeria and I'm at a loss for words to describe what I'm seeing. I will say that despite all the hardship, Nigeria appears to have a vibrant culture, beautiful/caring people and strong identity that make the country very unique in the world. I wish the best for them and thank you so much for these masterpiece! Cheers!

Mohammed is a brilliant and engaging tour guide. Nigeria is blessed with a huge array of talent waiting to be tapped.

I’m astounded by the diversity and disparity both. 700 languages! Incredible. I’m learning so much about Nigeria, Nick! It’s incredible to be able to learn more about a place of which I know so little. Thank you for this service! 🙏💛

Mohamed is an excellent tour guide... He makes the tour very interesting

Mohammed is spreading pure love, good man, wish him all he best

I really like that you’re not to intense like lots of travel bloggers, not trying to fake stuff to hype up your video, just casually walking around and talking to people really relaxing and interesting to watch :) love it !

You've really got guts to cover Northern Nigeria... Weldone and thank you.

Well done, mate! Epic video

I’ve been talking to everyone about your videos recently. You have changed how I view the whole world honestly. Thank you for sharing & showing us the real world. Much love ❤️

If the Christians and the Muslims in Nigeria can put their cultural differences aside and focus on making Nigeria better, there will definitely be a brighter future for Nigeria as a whole. I hope they can just see that. A better Nigeria is a win win situation for both the Christians and Muslims

Hey nick! Just wanted to say that these videos are so important for society especially America but fr I’m from a really small town I’m Az and I’m learning so much I’ve learned most cultures and diversity from the internet growing up, but I’ve even been showing my dad these vids and it really breaks stereotypes he may have had on these countries due to news. SO THANK YOU KEEP UP THE WORK

Thanks, Nick! I have often read about Kano in Nigeria, and have always wanted to see pictures of this place. Kano has an ancient history, and it is one of the earliest places in sub-Saharan Africa that accepted the tenets of Islam.

“Don’t worry they are just vigilantes, “ classic Nick, another Sunday satisfied, never been to Nigeria until you took me there, again thank you Nick

As a Nigerian Southerner who lives in the North, I love the diversity.. great video! Always wanted to visit Kano

So happy that someone is documenting northerner part of Nigeria ❤️ we’re way beyond what the media portrays,we’re diverse, we’re rich in culture, and yeah definitely their insecurities here but that doesn’t definition who we are❤️

I love Nigeria and Nigerians. The media does push a certain perspective. Nigerians are kind people. I just pray their government can be rid of most corruption and they will become a more developed country.

Thank you, Nick. I came across your channel through the algorithm and I’m incredibly thankful. Your approach to cinematography, videography and narration are incredible. I feel as if I’m right there with you. My father is from Nigeria and I shared your videos with him. You brought him a lot of nostalgic memories. Thank you. Peace and blissings to you and yours. Safe travels.

My father is Nigerian and I've been to Lagos, Iragberi (where he is now the King), and Ibadan. It is so sad that in a country with so much beauty and wealth there is so much suffering. It's so underdeveloped for what it could potentially be. It's still beautiful and the people are some of the kindest, most beautiful, and welcoming I've ever met. I've said for years that Africa should in all actuality be the strongest super power on Earth. Everything you can imagine is there on that continent. Most abundant in wildlife and natural resources. If the countries on the continent could unite, they'd be unstoppable. Nigeria has been at war with itself for so long. The mega rich and the dirt poor. Over two hundred languages in one country , why? Still has the potential to become better and I believe one day it will. Thank you for showing that it's not all just the horror the media wants people to believe. Bad things happen everywhere❤️

Nigerians are amongst the most lively people I’ve ever met! Never met a boring Nigerian. I’d love to see you make a video about their cuisine! Your past couple Nigerian videos were amazing, this will be the same cause Nicks the man

I had the time of my life last week with all the chaos in the streets. It does make for great action, as colourful as Nigerians can make it ❤️ Thank you for taking us there with you. This is so solid and unfiltered. You're such a breath of fresh air amongst travel reporters, Sir. ❤️👏👏👏

Recently having been having this fascination with Nigeria! It really is a diverse country with different cultures. This just spiked my interest to visit Naija. See you soon. Mob love from Nairobi kenya 🇰🇪

absolutely fantastic... and I have to say Mohamadu your Tour guide is such a cool, intelligent, gentle and articulate person. You are so lucky to have found him!

Nigerian here from Lagos👋🏽 I SCREAMED when I read the description of this video. Everyone I know is terrified of the north. I’m amazed you went all the way. Can’t wait to watch this

Nigeria reminds me of India in terms of the diversity and the overall atmosphere of the environments. As a Punjabi I would love to visit Nigeria one day.

This is the best video documentary I've seen. As a Nigerian myself, I can relate with everything in the video. I love how you went to the slums and interacted with people. It shows truly how invested you are in knowing the real situation of things. The fact that you had to travel to different regions of the country made the knowledge all encompassing. The cinematography was perfect. An absolute beauty! Thank you for depicting Nigeria as it really is.

Love this channel, Nigerians are beautiful people and he's helping us understand that media sells a narrative before it gives the truth.

I take everything I have for granted. All of these people seem incredibly kind and generous. I wish them all healthy and prosperous lives

I salute your bravery Nick even average Nigerians are scared to venture to the north… And big kudos to Mohammed he’s amazing

If you go to a place like Onitsha in Anambra State which is the Eastern part of Nigeria, you will be shocked even more. The level of diversity in Nigeria is just fascinating

Bro you have my applause for this. Like seriously. Huge big ups. I personally wouldn't travel here unless it was for the most urgent/important of reasons. Media portrayal of Northern Nigeria might be unfair and alarmist, but people within the country are generally scared of the North. And the image in the news is generally so chilling that people don't really think about the North as comprising of a number of states- each with varying levels of safety. It's all just the perilous "North". If my parents heard I was booking a flight to Northern Nigeria for sightseeing, they would steal my passport somehow.

Nick your filmmaking skills improve with every series. The Venezuela, Libya, Pakistan, Brazil and Nigeria series stick out brother. I think that you are connecting more to your creative nature with every video and you have a well laid plan of what you want to capture. And the unexpected elements that add to the story of travel documentaries are portrayed so well here. One thing I get from your films is that everyone is struggling and everyone has a story to tell. Additionally it reminds me of the 16 countries I’ve travelled to and so many people just want peace and lead a serene life in this rough world. The media separates and mixes up stories to bemuse people and keeping us fussing and fighting. Thank you for your films. They are truly an art and we are privileged to view a snippet of what our fellow brothers and sisters in their respective countries endure. Bro, you have one of the most unique travel vlogs. From your first vlog is Pai, Thailand to this current series you keep on growing. Blessings and stay safe.

Really enjoying watching this series. I’ve learned so much about Nigeria.

I'm from the north central part of Nigeria And I must say, this is the first time I'm seeing a travel vlog on northern Nigeria Good work here You got yourself a new subscriber🙌

Nick! You’re truly a gem of a human! Thanks for existing and bringing us around the world with you! Such a humbling reminder of how raw and different life is all around the world when it’s so easy to get caught up in your own small bubble of a world these days ❤️

Hope the times change for all Nigerians going through tough times. Nick I am incredibly thankful for the risk you go through to bring us such engaging content.

I am Nigerian, born in Maiduguri, grew up in Minna and Kano state all in Northern Nigeria. I speak Hausa but honestly, I would not dare go to that region because of the insecurity these days. But you went. You chop big liver!

As a Nigerian, I find it very interesting that the Schoolboy needed translation when English is our official language.

Thank you Nick for taking me to Kano. I am from the East and haven’t been to the north. This is great as always. Thank you for sharing 🤗

WE DID THIS TO THEM! Imagine a Nigeria untouched by European and American hands.

Thank you Indigo Traveler for, once again, bringing us to the real world....Nigeria is intense but amazing...Keep up your important work!!!

nick is so humble its nakes me proud of what we can achive if we stick together and show what really goes on not just mainstream media views

I really love your videos! Sometimes i get so trapped in my own life, i forget about the world outside. Makes me realize how wonderful and different all the countries and people are. Its fascinating and important to learn about other cultures and lifestyles. You do an amazing job telling these stories.

Discovered this channel only 2 weeks ago and I must say it's already become one of my favourites. Amazing storytelling that leaves you speechless! Thank you!

I love love love this Nigeria series, it’s so great to see Africa being shown, Nick the way you present yourself and make your videos compare to no one else, thank you for taking us places we otherwise would have never seen. Knoxville, Tennessee, USA.

I had to share this video everywhere. Nigeria is a blessed and Rich country with clueless, selfish and corrupt Leaders.Thank you for showing the Kind part of Nigeria. Thank you tour guide. You have just gained a new subscriber

The young lady preparing food at 9:50 I feel she has an amazing story to tell. I’d love to hear more from her.

How is it that no one's giving credits to this Mohammed guy...🙌🏾

I've been watching your videos lately and they have been helping me to realize how blessed I am with the simple things I have. Respect from Costa Rica ✌🏻🇨🇷

Lovely one. I'm currently in the Northern part as well. Jos Plateau to be precise, the coldest state in Nigeria. Many cities of the north are safe as well. The issues might be with the smaller villages, and traveling between cities and states where bandits take advantage.

i have been to a few country's you have been to, i have lived for a couple of years in Nigeria and yo always go the worst parts of the county's, there are loads of really nice places you seem to ignore, yo might as well go to many western countries and go the ghetto's there because that is what you are doing all the time now in each place you go to.

Outstanding video and Thank you Nick n Mohammed.

I advised you not to go there too, but you have already been there when I told you 😅 Cheers Nick! Loving the Nigeria series!

Mohamed, is a sweet soul! Thank you for sharing your awesome videos with us ❤️

Nick must have balls made of kryptonite to film in the Northern part of Nigeria in 2021. Your documentary is top notch and you told a captivating story from start to finish.

Very nice to see everyday life in different countries. Thank you for your brave work!

Watched your stuff for years now and don’t think I’ve ever commented. But just want to say Nick, your videos are so unique, informative and entertaining all in one. Long may they continue bro ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia

This is an expedition that most of us down south in Nigeria are not willing to take. Well done...

I have absolutely fallen in love with this series. Ty so much for everything you do! Truly eye opening

I’ve never been to Northern Nigeria,I always wondered what life is like in the north...and u just took me there nick 🙌 Thnk you👍

A pleasure learning from Mohammad !! ! Brilliant guide! Remarkable video,Nick

I’m so glad you come to my state (Kano State), I’d love to be in one of your videos someday. I’ve been following your content for so long. Keep the good work Nick.🤝

As a nigerian. What you did there was intriguing, interesting but very reckless North Nigeria is no joke i can't really encourage this. Stay safe G 🙏

I love Nigeria for its people and I love to watch this. It mirrors the situation very well. In the morning you doubt how you will be able to get through the day and in the evening you feel like celebrating the miracle of the day that made impossible things to happen just like that at their own time. Nigeria, ma big love

The disparity between the rich and the poor seems to be enormous by the look of these mansion. Great documentary Nick👍

So being a Nigerian and haven being born and lived in Kano, I can say that Kano is not as volatile as it used to be. Back in the 90’s and early 2000’s Kano used to be an extreme volatile zone. Used to be plagued with riots and religious killings. I lost some classmates to such killings. Now, the city itself is safe, it’s the drive between kaduna and kano that’s risky.

I couldn't believe that I watched all Nigeria videos back to back. Northern Nigeria is scaring place for southerners unless you have been there and used to northern lifestyles

Hey Nick! Would love to see you in the Eastern part of Nigeria this festive season. Come to Achina in Anambra State and witness the beauty of their masquerade dance.

80 percent of poor Nigerians are found in the northern part of Nigeria. The same northern part of Nigeria have been in power for years still can't take care of their people. And one funny thing about it is they don't feel bothered about it

I was born in a church in Kano! But the day I was born my dad drove from Lagos to come pick me up! That was 41yrs ago! Nigeria is really 3 countries in one! Its a shame what it has come to be cuz our govt are actually bent on keeping it like this!

I went to a very small school in the south of the UK. It seemed like lots of wealthy people from unstable/corrupt countries sent/hid their kids there to keep them safe. My best friend was from Nigeria, his elder brother had been assassinated in a kidnapping. They had to pay their security guards bribe money to pay another two tiers of wannabe thieves not to rob them. It sounded terrible, and that was in the mid eighties. But as usual, thanks for bringing the humanity to us with another amazing and interesting video.

The world is so beautiful ❤️ and the people of Nigeria as well 💙....such hardworking people ,much love from india🇮🇳

Mad respect for Indigo Traveller, you are doing a much better job than most mainstream media outlets. Keep up the good work

I have a good friend who's living too in Nigeria and good to know the culture in Nigeria.

Their sense of community is amazing! They don't rely on the government because they have no choice. Very strong people! 👏

Hi Nick , I schooled for a while in Kano and I think you captured the economic disparity quite well. You go from houses of grass and mud to large walled mansions and tree-lined neighbourhoods. It's crazy! There's the middle class, but I think they aren't as much. I didn't go around the poorer sections because I once got called something terrible for not covering my hair in a village. But generally, the northerners I saw were friendly. Another thing that I noticed were the hordes of child beggars, it was heartbreaking. I still love kano though, and I've not been there since the whole hisbah thing...but it'll be a great place to stay in if it's safe.

As a black/Ghanaian woman I once asked to go to Nigeria in general and I was told I should never try because I would never make it out the airport safely . It’s sad that there is so much division and hatred but I would love to see how their life is seems so much alike as me living in Ghana such a shame ☹️

Found your channel today! Such great content, you are really showing the world the real side of different cultures. I like you never say anything bad about the places you go. Keep up your positive mindset!

Nigeria is a amazing adventure for me because it was so cool experiencing their culture and hospitality.

It's amazing how talented you're nick in conveying your messages , even some PHD holders not as half talented as you are

Your videos are like a tapestry. Each of the people you interact with are a thread in a magnificent story of the humanity of a different world and culture. It's woven with respect and love and you truly make art ♥️ you should do full length documentaries

My favorite things to watch Sunday mornings. These episodes are incredible. Thank you

Thank you for your compassionate coverage of the reality in front of your eyes. Continued protection and blessings to you, Nick.

Super amazing series Nick, am from Nigeria, living in Kaduna. Glad you are having a great time here, well done Nick 👏

I love your videos in Nigeria.. Amazing job.. Love to Nigeria from Egypt

Wow. This was truly amazing. Thank you for sharing these films. So well produced just all around astonishing. Special place in my heart the Nigerian people. Such hard working people.
