Lagos, Nigeria is Crazy (Largest City in Africa – 25 Million People)
(c) Indigo Traveller Welcome to Nigeria! Incredible to be here. My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/indigo.traveller/ -My Patreon (A way to …
Nigeria, what’s up? Your country is crazy beautiful and beautiful crazy. 🇳🇬
I have been watching your content for some time and I’m glad you finally came to my Country. I love the direction you took with this video showcasing the real-life of Lagos and also the fact that most of what they say about Nigeria in the Media is not true. Most of Nigeria is Safe, only some states have security issues. I know you probably left by now but hope you also had a look at the Upscale parts of Lagos. Looking forward to more videos. 😊
Mohammed is a brilliant tour guide! I live in Lagos and I feel like he should take me on tour too. Good job showing the regular normal side of Nigeria. Well done both of you. 🥳
I really like these women and their attitudes.And it’s refreshing to see people tired of being portrayed as unsafe when they don’t have street violence .
I have lived in Nigeria almost my entire life. It is one of the most amazing places on earth. The people are so lovely and endearing. I consider myself to be nigerian before Indian. Love to Nigeria!!
I have traveled all over the world. I truly regret never visiting what could be the only city that matches New York City’s vibe.
As a Yoruba-speaking Nigerian, I would like to quickly address the little communication gap that led to the Gary phenomenon, since it seems to be taking on a life of it’s own. The catfish seller in the market didn’t forget Nick’s name and call him Gary. No! She said, “Let me take your picture, jare.” Jare, ( which sounded like Gary) in Yoruba, the language of Southwest Nigeria, where Lagos is located, means ‘Please’ or ‘If you please.’ So she simply said, “Let me take your picture, please.” Nigerians have a habit of injecting words from their local languages or dialects into their sentences when they speak English in informal situations. In the same way, when they speak their local languages, they inject English words into their sentences. So that’s what happened. She said, “Let me take your picture, jare.” (“Let me take your picture, please”). She didn’t call him Gary! So, don’t worry Nick. Your ‘girlfriend’ didn’t forget your name!
I’m a Nigerian and I’m so glad you made this vlog. It’s rare to find foreign visitors who visit the country with the intention to experience it fully, walking the streets, meeting and interacting with our people, and giving an honest rendition of how the country really is. I appreciate how you interviewed the lady who said our government is what we Nigerians don’t like…all she said was really true. We are fun loving people, and if we had a great government, we will thrive. We still thrive even without it in place! I’m glad you visitedenjoyed being in my country. I don’t live there at the moment anymore, and each day I miss it and all the unique, special thrills and excitement it gives. Thank you for giving me a glimpse of it again. Have fun!
I’m Nigerian and your guide is 5*, genuine and trustable aura from here. Hope you enjoyed your stay and thank you for touring Lagos respectfully
Thank you for opening people’s eyes to Nigerian culture which is often stereotyped and purposely misleading by outsiders to keep people away and divided. Especially here in the States. We may have never known about the beautiful people who live there without you help!
Good for you man.
“My boyfren” 😄You went to the heart of Lagos!Insecurity is blown out of proportion in the media. Looking forward to your trip to other parts of the country.
I used to live in Nigeria, many years ago. It hasn’t changed much. Change is coming. Massive Change……💯
I’ve been to a lot of different places but this looks absolutely epic. Walking the streets and markets looks awesome (and exhausting).
Good content. I am Ghanaian 🇬🇭 and haven’t been to Nigeria before. I know Ghana and Nigeria have so much in common and watching this video confirms it. Selling on the railroads, how busy it is, the market, and many others. Thanks for the tour and much love from 🇺🇸🇺🇸- Pearl
Hi Nick, these people @13:57 were most likely not asking for dollars but we’re asking to help you change your dollar notes to Naira, because you appeared to have dollars to be exchanged, and instead of asking the full question ‘Do you want to exchange your dollars”? ,they shorten it and just say “dollar” more like a black market for currency exchange.☺️I guess that’s the reason you felt a lot were asking for dollars.Lovely video by the way!!!💖
Great job Indigo! You make Nigeria a place to have ourselves a budgeteer travel challenge one day 😃Good people, good food and adventure everywhere!
The Nigerian people deserve much better I pray they have a safe country someday where everyone gets their fair share for their work
it actually looks like fun! I would like to experience going around the streets and trying different food, talking to people, etc.
i was in Nigeria in October 2021. i want to go back. it was interesting how lots of things are old and broken but the streets were clean and the people were so kind. My favorite food is the jollaf rice!! Thank you God for my wife. She was able to get me trough Lagos in style. Cant wait to go back.
WALKING STREETS OF AFGHANISTAN (Not Safe)
(c) Indigo Traveller Walking the streets of Afghanistan, meeting local people and more. Donate to save the lives of the children of Afghanistan here: …
🔴 *DONATE TO SAVE CHILDREN’S LIVES IN AFGHANISTAN HERE:* https://donate.unicef.org.nz 🔴Thank you for you support/donation. If you can’t donate, sharing is also a very powerful way you can help these innocent children to eat.
This translater needs recognition. I’m an afghan-American. I can speak both Farsi and pashto (both very common languages in Afghanistan m)And he is spot on. Thank you for showing us the side no one cares so.
I recently found out about your channel, I have to say I’m impressed with the two videos I’ve seen . I can’t wait to to watch more. Thank you for showing more then what the news shows!
These people live such a hard life I can’t imagine living in a war torn country and working so hard for so little I wish them the best.
As an Afghan American that has never been able to visit Afghanistan for the violence, thank you for making me be able to see a visual glimpse into a day there. My family tells me stories. Stories of before the war. My Grandma was the bravest woman. She grew up an orphan. She was a talented tailor. She would design and sew traditional Afghan clothing. She would buy used furniture and make it brand new and would sell it for 2x the price. She would trade gems and re-dye oriental rugs. Massive collection of poetry from centuries ago. At some point making such a name for herself that she was able to furnish the Arg (Afghanistan White House). She grew a massive wealth for herself. My grandmother would stay up until the morning sewing to provide for her family. My grandma sent my mother to the best schools in Afghanistan. They had a well that any one was free to take water from. They had land full of fruit trees and live stock. They lived a hardworking but peaceful life until the dogs (the Taliban) came. My grandma sold all of her belongings to be able to escape. Her traditional gowns, her oriental carpets, all her jewels to bribe people to get them out the country. They were lucky to be able to leave in a few years. So much vibrant culture lost. So many innocent lives lost. I hope I can be able to help the people of Afghanistan one day. Please know that the Taliban does not represent the people of Afghanistan. The Taliban are our oppressors. It hurts when people confuse us with them. They are our enemy as well. They are an enemy to all of humanity.
I want to see a day where people, like these, find a life that they do not worry about their families.They deserve to be happy, fearless and prosperous.
I hope one day Afghanistan will find peace and all the children will have amazing life’s, I live in Australia and I take freedom and safety for granted.
I visited Afghanistan as a soldier around 10 years ago. I loved the country and it’s people. The culture is so rich and the people are very friendly. I hope to return one day. I wish and pray for peace for the Afghan people.
As a father watching this, it made me realize how we take so much for granted. Being able to open a fridge and make a sandwhich if we’re hungry. Grab a cold bottle of water if we’re thirsty. Even complaining about having to wait in line at urgent care while on the other hand an Afghani mother has to find a way to get to a clinic miles/hours away. You got me to donate today brother.
I was deployed there for a year and the people were surprisingly nice to us. God bless afganistan
Absolutely heartbreaking. They are such a beautiful people and I wish all the best for their country.
As an Army veteran that deployed to Afghanistan, it broke my heart being there because the civilians are just trying to live their life.
Almost $200k donated when the original goal was just $100k. You are doing amazing work making these videos . Much respect
Wonderful and powerful work being done here, Nick. Respect and gratitude…
It’s rare to see a video of my country where it’s not shot by an army presenting a brutal image of Afghanistan. Even though the country is struggling people forget to show that people live and prosper (of course it’s not likely people prosper, they do however survive and can strive to be happy). Thank you for trying to portray Afghanistan in a good light.
That’s a pro translator, translating all that tragedy without showing any grief
Crazy how even if you’re the nicest, kindest type of person you can experience the hardest kind of life just because of the place you are born in; and vice versa.
as a young afghan american thank you for this video, i’ve never been able to travel to the country my parents grew up in. it breaks my heart that afghanistan goes through constant war. i wish things were different. thank you for showing me my country.
Heartbreaking. I spent a year in Kabul and there are homes that burn tires inside there living rooms to keep warm. Afghanistan is very cold. Only in the south are there deserts. I volunteered to make fuel donuts (made of paper and water) to heat homes (over 1,000 hours). If it weren’t for the Taliban, many people would receive much more aide. The poverty is absolutely unbelievable. When I hear those in the US complain, they have no idea how bad it could be.
Hey Nick, do you still have contact with your translator/guide when you visited Afghanistan? I hope all is well with him in these dark times.
Inside Brazil’s Most Dangerous Neighborhood (Extreme Slum)
(c) Indigo Traveller What a day this was, venturing into this favela definitely got the heart racing. -My Instagram for photos of the trip: …
☠️ *Out of this world beauty mixed with the darkness.* That sums up Rio de Janeiro for me. I saw some things on this day that won’t be forgotten easily and please note that a LOT happened off camera, I cannot share certain details of this day because it wouldn’t be fair and potentially risky to the kind people that helped me out on this day and made this surreal experience possible. Please let me know your thoughts in a comment section of this video and the Brazil Series (positive or negative). Want to see the photos I got from this day? See them here: https://www.instagram.com/indigo.traveller/Thanks for watching and I’ll see you in the next one. I love you, Brazil! 🇧🇷
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels on YouTube.
A romantiza��o da favela e o crime organizado… que lindo. Eu como Brasileiro e morador de periferia, at� quase escorreu uma lagrima aqui. A parte que mais me tocou foi a mo�a da banca de salgados “Um lugar maravilhoso, tranquilo” e os dedos de nervosismo a bater nos vidros kkkkkkkkk Quem � de fora at� acredita.
For those of you who are curious about what he saw but did not mention in the end of the video, he probably witnessed police officers collaborating, interacting and making deals with criminals. Police officers will sell guns to the gangs and demand money for letting them operate, and also provide info about incoming police operations.Other things he may have seen include their drug and money stocks or, based on his scared face, a place where bodies are disposed. The drug dealers will kill people caught stealing in some favelas “to serve as example”. In their criminal activities, many people end up being executed, so there are usually unaccessible places where they dispose the bodies of the victims. Although he may have watched somebody being executed in front of him, I don’t think this was the case. It is possible, but I think they would not do it in front of a tourist, a person they don’t know at all. There is a chance he witnessed somebody being taken away by them, and was told to ignore what was going on and not to look at them. In this case, imagining what happened to that person could be the cause of his scared face. This was suggested by somebody else as a response to my comment.
What a journey through the real parts of a country.it’s amazing it’s frightening and it’s incredible
It’s just crazy how there is so much difference in the same city.
Such an intense reality
I traveled to brazil so many times and spent so much time there and can say that You reported an accurate picture of how life and people are in Rio especially the hard working and honest Brazilians who live in the favelas and also the dangerous reality of the situation.Thanks for a great job!
This is definetely far away from being the most dangerous neighbourhood in Brazil.
I am glad that you experienced Rio and the favelas. One thing to remember is that Brasil is the largest country in South America and there are many, many breath taking places that are outside of Rio de Janeiro. Great documentary and I am glad that you were able to experience what is like to reside there! ✔👍🏽
I too feel the same way about the favelas. My wife and I stayed in one considered “pacified” in 2014 for two weeks. Lots of kids with guns, but also the best bars and places to eat we found in Rio. People knew who we were before we saw them, word travels fast in a tight community, and always led to excited exchanges and welcoming people. By the end of our trip, we felt safer in the favela than anywhere else in Rio, albeit still disturbed by what we had seen.
It’s crazy, every time I see a video of basically anywhere in Brazil even the favelas. I just think of how beautiful it is. it’s crazy because you’re in the slums but you’re still captured by that beauty and you’re like what is making this place so beautiful. Of course the land and nature and everything but also it’s the people, the way the buildings are built and the art.. the murals. It’s just all tied In that makes it so beautiful
I love how you respect their culture listened what he was telling you showing his point of view and how he showed you everything step by step of course making sure you were not in danger, this is one of the most beautiful and incredible video, believe me I learned a lot about Brazil culture and fabelas environment I could say is not safe for abroad people going there of course but it was a good experience even this was through this vide. thanks for sharing us this experience.
You are a very lucky guy to be able to visit and experience these places and cultures. I love your videos. Keep up the good work. Eu tamb�m amo os brasileiros e a cultura. Um dia, eu vou ao Brasil.
Thanks for the video Nick, i’m a Brazilian living in NZ (Christchurch) and I’ve never been to Rio (apart from the airport). In my opinion, the only way to change this situation and make that place safer for the good citizens is through fully drug legalization and decriminalization.
I’m from brasil, glad you liked the favela. There are a lot of good and honest people there. A lot of culture too.
É muito interessante ver as favelas do Brasil, abraços de Portugal amigos brasileiros 🤝
Thank you so much for sharing these stories. Half of my family is Brazilian and it’s always been a dream to travel the country. I’ve been to a lot of countries as a solo backpacker, but everyone, even my family has warned me not to travel Brazil and it’s so heartbreaking. I’ve been to my family’s small town before, but I’m doubtful that I’m ever gonna get the chance to travel the rest of the country…
I really love your videos! I’ve watched some of your series from other places too, but being a Brazilian, this series has a special place in my heart. Thank you for the amazing work you’ve been doing. The only thing I would say regarding this specific video that I don’t agree is the title. This is not the most dangerous neighborhood in Brazil, it’s not even the most dangerous neighborhood in Rio. I think you have great content and you don’t need a title like that just to get people to watch your videos.
Remembering that the vast majority of Brazilians live far from these extremes and live relatively quiet, some poor, some not so much, but generally far from the extreme madness of slums in big cities like Rio and Sao Paulo.
Inside Venezuelan Slum at Brazil Border (harsh conditions)
(c) Indigo Traveller Following the trail… Support the Venezuelan people here: https://www.hermanitos.org.br/apoie -My Instagram for photos of the trip: …
🔴 *Do you want to support the Venezuelan people like the ones in this video? You can support here:*https://www.hermanitos.org.br/apoieThank you for your support of these people facing incomprehensible hardships.
Most of us just don’t know how blessed we are.
i watched this video yesterday- woke up 530 am this morning and went for a walk. thanked the universe for all the blessings i have that i tend to take for granted everyday. things as simple to me as a warm bed, running water and food in the fridge. <3 thanks for opening our eyes to how people in our same world are forced to live.
Thank you for all the awareness you’ve brought about this situation in my country. Your empathy for others is amazing and hard to find. Your contribution will not go unnoticed. If only 1% of the almost 1M who have seen this video help, that’s a much needed positive impact. It took me a while to get myself to see the video, just to hard to see what my fellow Venezuelans are going through. Loads of hugs to everyone
So proud of my Country Brazil, at least we are doing what we can to help our latino brothers.
This is a very positive use of social media. Thank you for having made the decisions that led you to educating people about these beautiful countries and people who struggle more than we’ve ever seen in our lives. I really appreciate this type of content being accessible.
To actually have a country and place that’s safe and you can do whatever you want and get a job.. live with ur friends and family and enjoy is something we take granted but that is such a blessing..
I love seeing people helping people. It is a beautiful part of the world and I pray for all their safety and health🙏
$25 donation, thanks for giving us the ability to directly support these people without contributing to an organization that sucks up alot of the donation amount with overhead costs.
I cannot understand why we in Europe don’t help THESE people whom at least have a compatible culture instead of the ones who are both incompatible and hate our way of life.
Muchas gracias Brasil,por ayudar a todos mis hermanos venezolanos. Gracias, gracias,gracias
I love this channel!It’s nuts that you can find out more about what’s going on in the world from a YouTube channel than you do on the news!
Damn homie you’re a real one. My family is from Honduras and I feel lucky to have grown up visiting every year and getting a real perspective on life. You are doing good work in this world, keep it up brotha.
Se depender de nois brasileiros eles ser�o acolhidos e respeitados como seres humanos eles merecem comer e ter uma vida digna
O Brasil 🇧🇷 é um país muito hospitaleiro porém cheio de problemas e políticos ladrões
Makes me feel so grateful for what i have! I hope their situation gets better!
I realize we can’t comprehend how exhausting and hard your travels really are. But man what a life you live! 🙂
You are doing really important work, here. Thank you for amplifying these people and their stories. ☮️
Massive respect for raising the awareness. Great video guys
As a Venezuelan refugee living in New Zealand I thank you for every informing video and all that you have done for my people. May God keep you safe and bless your heart.
INSIDE AFGHANISTAN 2019 (Extreme Travel Afghanistan)
(c) Indigo Traveller So I decided to take a trip to Afghanistan and this is what happened… -Donate to save the children of Afghanistan here: …
*Here we go Afghanistan, hope you are ready for a lot of content from this war torn but extremely misunderstood corner of the world.*A huge thank you for Unicef making this trip possible. If you want to donate to the children of Afghanistan (which will save lives) then follow this link to the custom Indigo Traveller/Unicef page: donate.unicef.org.nzOtherwise sharing also helps heaps, thank you! 🙏 🇦🇫 Nick
Holy crap, this is not “youtuber” stuff, this is real journalism.
Rewatching this a year later and seeing what the country has fallen to is nothing less than heartbreaking. They each had such hope for the future of their country — I can only pray now that each of them is safe! It was many of their dreams to welcome tourists like myself into their country… one day, friend. One day ❤️ though it may seem the world has forgotten Afghanistan, you are never off the mind of this American ally.
It’s so clear that the people of Afghanistan are really sweet people who are just in an unfortunate situation. I pray for that nation that things will work soon🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Hopefully things get easy, so I’ll be able to visit as I’ve always wanted to❤️❤️❤️
watching this today looking at how hopeful the citizens were for the future. Now heartbroken
I’m an afghan & it’s my first time watching my country, the beginning was terrifying but watching till the end felt overwhelming!! TYSM for showing us the real Afghanistan ♥️ 🇦🇫
The guy who translatesd does such an incredible job. He really knows how to incorporate emotions into his translations
I feel for the shop owner Muhammad at the beginning. He was so optimistic that in just a few years his country would be more developed and more kids will be in school. Now look at what’s happening. It’s terrible.
This year i spent my summer with Afghan children in my country they are great children raised great families i love all them. Peace and love to all Afghan people. Greetings from Turkey 🇦🇫 ❤️ 🇹🇷
Thoughts and prayers from the UK for the safety of all the Afghans in these uncertain times. 🙏
Love, Peace and Freedom from Germany to everyone in Afghanistan! Thank you for sharing your country 🙂
This is why I learn to not judge people by it’s appearances, his/her occupancy etc. That butcher so well educated.Respect
I had the met my best friend Daud while attending a high school in Brampton. He was from Afghanistan and I can honestly tell you I felt more welcome in there house than I did in my own. No matter where I went with his family (park, picnic, family gatherings etc) it always felt like I was the first one they thought of. I can’t speak on what is happening in Afghanistan and I certainly hope things get much better.I can speak on the hundreds I have met and they are the kindest, most giving and respectful people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
I remembered you had traveled to Afghanistan so I returned to your playlist for a second viewing. Have you been in contact with UNICEF or your guide to learn about the current situation on the ground ? Will UNICEF remain open after security forces are gone? If so, can donations still be made? My thoughts and prayers go out to the gentle people of this country.
Much respect from Denmark to the Afghans. Hope you soon will find peace 🇦🇫🇩🇰
Love Afghanistan. From Brasil🇧🇷🇦🇫
I’m 61 years old. When I was in college Afghanistan was westernized and a travel destination because of it’s beauty and ski slopes. I pray I live to see the day they return to peace and prosperity. All good people deserve to live free.
Sending all the love and support to Afghanistan♥️♥️From: Syria♥️
It gives me chills. Studying computer science in Canada. And watching a man studying computer science in Afghanistan 🇦🇫. One of us, lives in constant fear of death. And one of us, tries to remind themselves, they have an opportunity I have to use to come back and help people like this man. Amazing truly inspiring
Nick. Revisiting these particular videos since the recent events in Afghanistan makes things even more heart breaking for the country. Listening to the hope of the people you interviewed really moved me even more than before. Not too much more I can say.
