I really love your presentation; it's as objective as it's humorous. If it were these little people from the small country, Ghana, the vlog will be spiced with insults, hatred and slander. A country they cannot survive without, yet their hatred and jealousy for Nigeria are deep.

You sound so Nigerian. Didn’t get even a slight accent deviation. Really lovely content.👍

Lagos , Abuja and portharcourt are the most expensive cities in Nigeria, as for electricity here in ph we do have constant electricity but not the whole Rivers state!! you've really experienced lasgidi nice video by the way

Port Harcourt is not expensive bro. I live whole my life in port Harcourt. Don't mess with Abuja with the most expensive things.

You actually have lost your Cameroonian accent and I love it... Well I am lucky to have experienced both countries... Yango exists now in Douala... and it works so well... enjoy it.. Safety, we hear a lot about Lagos not been safe but it is actually the same with Douala (I once had a friend's cousin stabbed whilst on a call with his mother in front of his house in BONAPRISO). So every where is justs like you said God keeps us safe... Cost of living... honestly Cameroon is way cheaper except for red bell pepper that is just not available here and it is so expensive)... Funny enough housing in Cameroon to me is more expensive in Douala... and you pay on a monthly basis... I have a 2 bed in Lagos for 800k and the same kind of apartment in a Ikeja kind of area here in douala (bali or akwa or Bonamoussadi, it goes as high as 250k per month)... You can actually get cheap accomodation in Lagos but in the outskirt... ikotun, ikorodu and so on... By the way i do not like entering the taxis here... thank God work from home is not far and i can walk... For electricity, well i will tell you Cameroonians do not know what they have o... Happy i can so relate to your video well done... you did a good one...😍🤩🥰

[@LifewithVee2]

You are so rightttt. Buying red bell pepper in Cameroon is crazy, i know a supermarket which sells one bell pepper for 8k 😂😂 as for housing you have a point but if i was to stay in Lagos I’m definitely not living in the outskirts 😅. Thank you for watching

[@olabodefashola]

@@LifewithVee2 you even got the red bell pepper cheap... i went to Casino Bonapriso... i saw it at 13k per kilo... Thank God for Carrefour Supermarket at the grand mall i got a kilo at 4k8 CFA thereabout

Believe everything you see on social media at your own risk

[@GPIduh]

😂😂... Lagos is expensive to live in. Lagos is a city-state in Nigeria with its own lifestyle so different from other Nigerian states. Cost of living in other parts of Nigeria is very cheap like in Cameroon but Lagos gat the vibes.... If You reach Nigeria & you no go Lagos, then your Nigerian experience never complete... 😂 😆

[@christiangideon7966]

Abuja and ph city are also expensive not only Lagos

[@ContentCanvasYT]

You said Lagos is expensive, is Abuja a joke to you, you're playing with Abuja everything is expensive there.

[@LifewithVee2]

[@Ibeugo213]

Those bad thing you hear are the minority... I wander why people always place bad things in Nigeria at the top, when bad things also happen everywhere around the world. Most of us living in Nigeria have not experienced such & we don't have two heads. Bad things happen depending on the area & parts you visit. So when visitng Nigeria, always ask questions.

[@muhammedafolabi7558]

Yes Lagos is expensive

Nigerian are also blessed, but they are so many people living in lagso.. As for 2020, the population of people living in Lagos is 15,388,000, and it increases from 3.54% in 2021. Compared to Cameroon,

[@blazinghot99]

As a Nigerian woman who has spent time in Cameroon, I will wholeheartedly tell you that your assessment about food in Nigeria is laughable. Your claim that Cameroon has more food than Nigeria is a LIE. You have only stayed in Lagos and Abuja. Nigeria has 35 other states besides those two that have various types of food. You haven't even scratched the surface and you are basing your food assessment on just Lagos and Abuja which to me is silly because Nigeria is not a village. 2) The stories about security issues in Nigeria are exaggerated. It has nothing to do with God. Lagos for the most part is safe. 90% of people who travel to Lagos do so safely without incident. Unfortunately, the West and other hateful African countries like Ghana, South Africa and even your native Cameroon like to paint Nigeria black because of hatred, jealousy and envy. If you truly believed that Nigeria was unsafe then I don't think you would have risked your life coming to Law School here. 3) Cameroon does not have stable electricity. I stayed in Cameroon for 6 months while I was helping my inlaws set up a business. Electricity supply was also erratic. In fact, the day I landed at the airport there was no electricity. People typically don't use generator in Cameroon because they can't afford them. I found that the average Cameroonian is much poorer than a working class Nigerian. No shade...that was also confirmed by Ajim Maczy your fellow Cameroonian who is also a KZbin vlogger. Cameroon is listed as a heavily indebted poor country while Nigeria is not. 3) The one thing that disappoints me about Cameroon which you fail to mention is despite your claims of "stable electricity" how come Nigeria outperforms you in so many areas? Even with all of our electricity problems and your claims to be "lucky" when it comes to electricity, how come the Nigerians outperform you in economy, infrastructure, transportation, fashion, agriculture, entertainment, music, banking, business, manufacturing, innovation, investment, etc. Ordinary railroad you don't have, Cameroon has one of worst infrastructure in Africa, and transportation is awful. I'm just asking ooo. 🤔

[@LifewithVee2]

I hope you also spent time in all the cities in Cameroon ma, it’s the assumptions for me😂😂 The day you realize that there’s a different between constructive criticism and hate/jealousy the better for you. Seasons blessings 🎊

[@blazinghot99]

@@LifewithVee2 Lmao. You should take your own advice sis. I visited all regions in Cameroon so you shouldn't make assumptions. Cameroon is much easier to explore because it's not as massive as Nigeria. If you are going to be a vlogger it doesn't hurt to hear or understand someone else's perspective. Any Nigerian will tell you the same...don't base your entire experience on 2 locations. As for the hatred and envy, I'm am sure that you are very aware that it exists and chose not to admit it. The likes of Clement Toh and CY international who are known for their trolling and blatant attacks against Nigeria and Nigerians should definitely ring a bell. Meanwhile, no Nigerian has openly attacked any Cameroonian. I'm not saying all Cameroonians exhibit this behavior because Ajim Maczy has proven otherwise. He is a Nigerian ally, but unfortunately some Cameroonians are known for their crabs in a barrel mentality. Always trying to pull others down instead of celebrating success. Enjoy your holiday as well madam. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂✌

@@LifewithVee2 you've committed the fallacy of generalization. First, Lagos does not define Nigeria 🇳🇬. Ironically, you're using the standard of living on the island to adjudge the entire State and country. The sum of N500,000.00 can get you a two-bedroom accommodation on the mainland. The same amount can secure you a duplex in Jos, parts of Kano, three-bedroom in Kaduna, Owerri, Uyo, Ibadan, etc. Secondly, food is far cheaper and more affordable on the mainland than on the island. N1,000 can fetch you a small pot of soup or food in many parts of northern Nigeria 🇳🇬 and some areas of Lagos mainland. Secondly, Lagos State has a public and multimodal transport system which includes water ferry, BRT (first in Africa), and lately intra-city railway. BRT has a designated lane which is less prone to heavy traffic. It's obvious you have never used any of them. Thirdly, you didn't experience insecurity because the State Government does its best to secure the State. Imagine the task of securing about 20 million people. If Nigeria is unsafe as the media portrays, you could have experienced it at least once during your two-year stint in Abuja and Lagos. Furthermore, you cannot complain about the crowd when you chose to shop in the biggest open market on the island. Why didn't you go to the several malls in the City and shop? On the issue of electricity, NEPA ceased to exist almost two decades ago. Two companies IKEDC and EKEDC provide electricity to the State. Yes, the electricity supply in many parts of Lagos State is poor but some areas enjoy a better electricity supply. While Lagos State generates more electricity than Cameroon, it needs more power to be at par with other States in Nigeria. Finally, it's illogical to make a comparison between Nigeria and Cameroon when in fact, you have not toured the length and breadth of the two cities you visited. More so, you can't use the indices of one city say, Bamenda to assess entire Cameroon. Your analysis falls short of what's expected of a legal mind.

[@chrisrebirth]

She forgot to add Lagos is a state with a huge population of over 20Million inhabitants. So there's bound to food crisis. What is the population of whole Cameroun to be compared to that of Lagos in general? Or the population of Douala & Yaounde combined to Lagos? This something she failed to realize.
