My worst fear comes true trying to leave Nigeria [S7-E67] 

Factssss

I'm Nigerian and have never been to some of the rural parts. I'm surprised how kind and helpful they all are over there.

@@ebhole they are very pleasant. worked in rural areas especially in the north and they just keep waiving when they see our vehicles

❤

we don't receive the same ones.

Agreed. Especially here in Africa.

@@zeke5491not that attractive

​@@Boy_Cry_Wolf.Kwasiakwa aboakraman gyimi toto saaah are you attractive??

Tough! but nice outcome! The food looked good. Sleep well! MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎁 ❤🎄🕯️🕯️🕯️

I agree with YOU, LOVE HUMANITY 👌👍💯💚

That is our culture in Africa we love to help one another. That is the love of God

Also, this isn’t the main route from Nigeria to Cameroon. There are very good roads. I think she chose this part for adventure sake.

​@@enixword2637 she said this was the only available path due to the unrest currently going on in Cameroon

Cameroon borders are closed it was through this video that I got to know that Nguroje is opened

Love your videos, USA looks better and better to me

american mountains and woods don't have roads either, that is why they use "dirt bike' don't act like people cant search youtube to see american roads in new mexico in places like the lucas canyon trail.

Americans usually don't realise how their infrastructure is actually great for such a vast country.

Truth

Yeah , if I was going from one country to the another,...and that was the road ? I would wonder. Clearly not a lot of trucks on THAT border.

@@rockinrodlittle Nothing truth about it there are thousands of dit roads in america

Thats true...

I'm curious I don't ride bikes but as she was travelling the muddy roads there were 2 bikes in front of her and one bike had 3 people on it yet she was having trouble with her bike with nobbley tryes, how is this?

I don`t think she would do this if she didn`t LOVE it!

@@gercoffey9873 No expert but from my travels I have observed that locals who travel these conditions very often don't overthink and their muscle memory controls the movement - slide etc. You may have seen ladies in rural VNM or THA who traverse small paths carrying huge loads on their little 110/125 cc bikes with road tires Or tiny 800cc cars with road tires and six people traversing mountains in IND/PAK in conditions for which people in places like US and Australia people need Hiluxes with knobby tires and 2 inch lifts.

@willryu2773 very true, I don't think any man would show that on RU-vid struggling with there bike like that whiles little Honda 50s leave ya sitting 😆

You are such a courageous lady. Keep it up.

Also find corruption within law enforcement and government

In kenya we don't have such pathetic roads but corruption is thrive but not like Nigeria

This is true of many 3rd world countries. I've met some of the nicest, kindest and most generous people amongst those that have nothing. On the flip side I've been robbed blind by supposed law enforcement and other officals (where bureaucracy is used a method of extortion) in the same country. The thing is when things do go bad they go very bad. Still I wouldn't change my travels as the good memories outweigh the bad many times over.

I am constantly amazed by the kindness, wish we had that in Australia, Africa seems more about people and community.

Kind people are everywhere not just Africa. Human beings generally have the tendency to help others.

Don't you think by now that she would know about the two police officers being fired.

Seriously? Wow, good job! Thank you for the update!

What about the people that stole her camera?

​@@rogerkim1910The cops? They gave it back after checking what she'd been photographing.

I didn't know so I appreciate the information.​@@fresh-eggs

Your country is beautiful! :) Best from EU!

Braver or reckless?

@@iluvmoney6767 Brave!

@@iluvmoney6767 , a bit crazy, but very, very, brave 😄! I have nothing but respect and admiration for this woman who has shown me the side of my country I have never seen before!

@@brigadierwilliamwildebeest1112 Brave and stupid are NOT the same thing.

RIGHT VERY BRAVE KNOW WHAT I WAS FEARING A FRICKEN LION PLZ BE SAFE

I have seen all the seasons of Itchy and it never ceases to amaze me how she struggles with the motorcycle on these slippery or unkept roads.

She could have taken alternative routes, but they pass through densely populated areas and would have taken much longer to navigate.

I always watch some American "off-road" content and the kind of road People take as off-road there is even better standard of a normal road I'm used to here in Africa... I can imagine what you mean for sure

@@ISeeManyTube there's a chance you're looking for a certain kind of tour Rather than just seeing it in eyes of the person doing it. When you travel long distances you'll sometimes cross 500 miles desert where it's only sand and nothing to "see" or do. And there days like this you'll have to battle hundreds of miles of the only border open to get to another place... Unless if you're chasing wildlife and you want to see some specific kind of things you'll definitely have thousands of miles you'll have nothing to "see" to get to what you'd want to see. That's how I see it

Politicians feel no shame because they are too busy stealing the money for infrastructure. We have the same problem here in America.

I do not think you should feel ashamed, but instead proud when you see African men and women being so helpful to a stranger passing through.

Please work towards improving your country....... running away and being ashamed changes nothing 😔

Yes don't feel ashamed! Just put those responsible government people in jail, who let you live that way, with streets like that!

@@demophys4883 yes, watching people smiling and waving at a passing motorcyclist was impressive, good to see how friendly most folk are. Sadly everyone only ever remembers the bad few that ruin it for everyone else.

Perhaps she can visit Bafut, and even meet a Fon!

Yeah, Itchy Boots doesn't go out at night.

its african thing to help actually. Big ups to Noraly also

I noticed the same thing. Some people have that knack of falling into a shit-hole & coming out smelling like a rose.

I feel that Noraly has truly become the Ambassador of Adventure Travel. She always finds a way to succeed. And, her positive outlook is truly an inspiration!

I'd much rather go thru her border crossing difficulties than navigating Walmart in Florida on a Saturday morning

So true and so beautifully written.

Why she is choosing small boarder posts. there are good roads and well established border posts there

@@trymoremafuchadhliwayo9304 Previous episode she said that this was the only crossing open to foreign travelers.

I'm from India. Red earth has been used for construction here for centuries. Many old buildings surviving for hundreds of years. It's so sticky

I thought the exact same thing but I'm a 68 year old fart

Tanah merah memang susah 😂

Noraly has been in mud and slime just as bad as that in previous episodes but we need to understand that she is trying to keep a conversation going while fighting the conditions and making a statement about the mud or conditions is often made to inform new people on the channel of what she s encountering.

And me too! From Washington State at 73!

Hi, thanks but both things are not new to me of course. Steering damper that fitted my bike wasn’t on the market yet and obviously I know what tire pressure does for traction and am carrying a pump for years - I often show it in my videos 😅

Yes and she is a role model not just for motorcycle riders but for every human being! Peace!

Merry Christmas to you as well Debbie!

In Morocco, roads are very good, the government invested a lot during all these years and is still improving some roads. You can cross nearly all the country using highways or express routes. Off course, in Noraly's series you mainly see off roads 😉

@@Izemrasen.(morocco is barely africa, more like southern spain

@@Izemrasen. morocco has many desert unpaved roads

@@jidebolarinwa697 well as are many countries all over the world, what I meant is if you want to go from Tangier to Dakhla it's all paved roads. In the mountains it's more difficult, same for some places in the desert, but I think the logic is to improve access to the big cities first and then work on rural areas.

@@wuhaninstituteofvirology Geographically, historically, culturally, Morocco is a north african country with a mix of amazigh/arabic/sahrawi cultures. What's funny in your comment is that South Spain (or Andalusia) is the one that has Moroccan influences because it was at some point in time part of different moroccan empires (from the Umayadd dynasty ~700AC to the end of the reconquista in 1492AC), so it's the contrary of what you just said. A typical example would be the famous Alhambra in Granada which comes from the arabic word Al Hamra and which has a caracteristic moorish architecture.

Right? Sheep parkour made me laugh, too. 😄

Great to see you here!!

@@lucindavillarreal2676 I'm here often!

She's in the west. That's why they speak English. It's a small minority

@@okene no she’s in northern Cameroon. And also francophones in Cameroon speak English ( not all of them but a majority can speak English )

@@ikudaisi3852 you're right, she's in the North👍

People I know from Cameroon call it plain stupid as its damn dangerous … some good people do not compensate you being dead!

In another 10 centuries, Africa may catch up with the rest of the world.

Hey from Germany. I think africa is the continent to come in the near Future.

We know our potential but the systems at play are so suffocating and painful that many of us choose to either play the dirty game, or not to play at all and leave. That said, there are many successful Africans who did their own thing. That's the most difficult way to go. Africa is rising and I'm grateful to be a part of it

Don't hold your breath.

Africa realises its full potential but 🇬🇧 and 🇺🇸 and 🇫🇷 and 🇨🇳 and 🇷🇺 want it

After all the love, admiration, respect, goodwill and well wishes you've been experiencing since you started your adventure in Africa, you finally smeared everything by destroying the lives of those two indisciplined policemen and making laughing stuck of our beloved country by posting that viral video that has caused them their livelihood as well as those depending on them. Can you imagine gravity of your action, calculated or innocent ? Desperation may lead them to metamorphose into something more sinister and detrimental to the society. I don't condone in form of indisciplined from any security personnel who should know better, but l expect you to be understanding, smarter 9:55 9:55 9:55 and humane even for your safety especially being alone and female. What l want to clarify hear is that misconduct and indisciplined in form corruption is everywhere and not only peculiar to our country alone. Even the Netherlands is no exception nor immune to corruption. As a matter of fact it's one of the most notorious corruption mecca of Europe. The point is that Holland is very wealthy and workers are well paid so petty corruption is almost nonexistent. However, when big capital is involved the whole world is aware the Netherlands is a very fertile group for corruption in high places by the untouchables and a network of very dangerous criminal syndicates Sometimes even protected by the law etc. The biggest port in Europe is situated in Rotherham where % 80 of the illicit narcotics in Europe and many rich countries is transited and distributed ,but only less than %10 is being intercepted with very few foot soldiers arrested. l've lived traveled extensively in Europe and l've seen alot. Each country has its system. In the richest countries it's top level and invisible while in the poor ones it's another ball game altogether. Young lady, have fun but be very careful because l can assure that all eyes are on you now as you're trending while monetizing. Wish happy Christmas and memorable adventure. Always remember that Africa is beautiful, very welcoming, sympathetic and tolerant with strangers regardless of challenges and discrepancies

she is exlamation etc wonderfull happy soul

I just found the channel. I agree - Insane but wow!!

@@blackmoses3011 ohh shut up.. Nobody said petty corruption is only prevalant in Nigeria or Africa in general. And you just had to try and clap back by trying to pull down her country.. welp.. Hope that rant made you feel a little bit better. Never did she advertise Netherlands, Europe or the developed world in general is perfect.. People are aware of the scandals and the numerous drug syndicates that are operating in Belgium, Netherlands, and the rest of Europe. Now, as for the official in question who was exposed for asking money.. She could've perhaps not revealed the person's identity.. because I do understand there could be potential consequences to that person's future career prospects. Nonetheless.. She just shared her experience.. Good or bad.. She does share her journey of all countries/continents.. whether it's the Americas, Africa or Asia. Keep whining if you're too upset. I'm fairly certain and I know that most of her regular viewers would agree with me here.. That she had no ill will against Nigeria or its people and that she just happened to show us whatever fortunate or unfortunate experiences that she had to deal with. Period.

@blackmoses3011 While it is regretful that this officer lost his job, in the end, he made his own choice. Obviously, people there are underpaid and have to spend all day beside the road, but that doesn't excuse his behaviour.

That's what adventure looks and feels like

naivety and perhaps even a hint of knowing she's protected by her skintone and nationality........she knows even in these dangerous conditions she will be able to skate by on her privilege. Anyone else would be called an idiot for traversing some of these places on just a bike and thousands of dollars in equipment.

Skintone and her nationality are certainly formidable security anywhere in Africa, except perhaps South Africa@@dopemcee

@@dopemcee yup, not politically correct to say it, and I have been dinged for pointing this out in some of her earlier series. But it's an absolute fact, anyone saying otherwise is just not being honest. A black person, from Africa, or a brown man from SE Asia, traversing these same roads, with the same cheery disposition wouldn't stand a chance.

⁠@@shubs3566 An African taking such a trip for the sake of adventure is a ridiculous notion. What you're implying makes no sense.

Thanks for the heart Noraly! Now I can write a song and call it "Itchy Boots gave me her heart!"

@@jimmyrosen9424 too late Wham's done it allready, your next line being "and the very next day I gave it away" 🤣😂 Merry Christmas.

Of course we remember Roger!

Yep

A memorable character Roger. Shout out to him from Australia 🦘🦘🦘

Can you help me volunteer as a peace corp member in cameroun. I am British Citizen living in UK now and am also Nigerian.

Ashia, waka fine, we deh together😄Good to hear you had a nice experience in NW and SW of Cameroon. Could be interesting to know what projects you worked on as a PC.

2 egg spaghetti 😅

You made me remember the numerous peace corps we had in Cameroon who inspired us in the 80's and 90's. The world can be a better place if we all understand each other.

Merry Christmas to all

I don't think she is a wonderful biker. Struggled in most circumstances in contrast of the local who handle the suitation better
