🇳🇬 American Couple Reacts "Africa's CHEAPEST Street Food!! Lagos, Nigeria Food Tour!!"

[@FAT_HOUSE]

In Nigeria when we say "vegetables" we actually mean green leaf, and not the other stuffs that qualify as vegetables too (carrots, cassava, lettuce, onion etc) And the tribal mark thing is just on the face, that culture is phasing out though Also the intestines thingy gets cleaned thoroughly, it's pretty good Btw you have to be aggressive to survive in Nigeria, if you acting all calm and collected, yeah sorry you'll only end up last in most scenarios... You gotta be tough

[@goddywhite2703]

[@adaezekwelu7727]

That Abacha at 7:50🤩 I'm Nigerian and have eaten a lot of Abacha, but that one looks sooo nice

[@ifeoluwakuyoro3250]

That whitish cereal he had in a bowl after the Abacha is called "Ogi" and it is made from grinded corn which is then fermented that gives it a slightly sour taste not millet. The reason why it is white is because they used white corn in making it. You can mix sugar/milk/chocolate powder into it for a more sweet taste

[@schlange_1081]

Some parts of Nigeria actually use millet or Guinea corn, esp in the north

[@ifeoluwakuyoro3250]

Oh yeah thats true. Its Lagos and the pap is white that's why i said white corn because its more widely used there.

[@josephomejua3752]

But, we Igbos call it Akamu btw... Everyone, with their own name for it

The tribal marks was also one of the defenses against slavery. Back in the day, If a child is lost, the marks can help with reuniting with the family.

[@african-history-fountain]

True. And it's not by accident that coastal West Africa is where you find the culture of 'tribal' marks, as that was where the slave ships berthed and took captives from.

[@fisheye375]

That’s why when people say Africa is so poor, they live with less than 2 dollars a day…. They actually have no idea what you can buy with only 1 dollar. It can be a lot. When you don’t want to eat local and want to go to a supermarket and those kind of thing. 2 dollars won’t be enough. Street food is huge in Africa. Every corners, every streets, lot of people sell food. Baked, fried, fresh…something. If you stick to local food and fruits. You can eat an entire week with 10 dollars. But people always forget the context.

I saw this video of one of our Nigerian youtuber in UK where she showed their lunch on a Sunday afternoon and she said that was the heaviest food they ate that day and I was like "Whaaaat!, how can you call those snacks heavy?" That's like snacks to me in Nigeria and you call it heavy?. We like food abeg, we no wan wahala

Bolé (Boli/Roasted plantain) and groundnuts (peanuts) are considered a snack over here in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. The ultimate combo is Bolé and roasted fish...i know how many of my Lagosian friends have been converted to the "truth" 😀

[@nabilibrahim]

Yeah u know the deal

[@똑바로말해-b7m]

Not Port Harcourt o. Port Harcourt uses a sauce. Bole sauce. Na Edo people and the West dey use groundnut.

[@ugueugue5116]

About the tribal mark, it's also given on other body parts like the chest, and back. Where i come from, the southern Nigeria (Bini tribe). It's sometimes given on the stomach from traditional health reasons.

[@ifeoluwakuyoro3250]

Shaki is the stomach of the cow. I think cows have a four chambered stomach so the shaki "meat" can have different patterns on it depending on the part of stomach that it is.

[@davidolujinmi1919]

[@OlayinkaOrila-ou5iw]

[@DayoA1]

You don't need a flat head to carry anything on it, many people roll up a large scarf/fabric, place it on their heads before putting the item on. It takes skill and practice! Lagos can be A LOT for Nigerians too, so it's okay. If you have a sensitive stomach, you also don't have to eat street food. I literally eat only roasted plaintain and roasted corn(sparingly), you can get almost every "street food" in restaurants too

[@Gold-lv5ih]

In Nigeria, roots are not considered vegetables. So food stuff like yam, cassava & the likes are not seen as vegetable. The exception is carrots.

Beautiful video I must say. Lagos captures cultural melting pot, every tribe is represented in that city that is home to over 25 million people (that is just the registered perm residents. If we have to count people that are actually in Lagos, it's over 30 million). The local food is the way to go. The restaurants and eat-ins are so expensive.

In regards to the tribal marks… it’s mostly a tradition found in most ethnic groups across the Country and can be done in different parts of the body, depending on one’s ethnic group.

Reason for the marking was to help people not to get lost for ever. Those tribal marking where for identification, and was the reason some Yorubas taken into slavery by europeans were able to trace back their native home, people like Samuel Ajayi Crowther and Sarah Forbes Bonetta Davies both had tribal marks when they were stolen/taken away by the europeans . Samuel Ajayi Crowther graduated with a PHD from oxford university and was the first black Bishop in the Anglican archdiocese. While Sarah Aina Forbes Bonetta Davies was the little african princess carried into slave ship but luckily adopted by Queen Victoria. Aina eventually got married to James Labulo Davies, a lagos business mogul who own merchant ship-liner in the 1800s.

Yes one can get tribal marks on different parts of the body, buy most on the face, hands and legs. For tribal identity, family heritage, medical issue, for different purposes though.
