Dangerous border crossing NIGERIA 🇳🇬vs CAMEROON 🇨🇲 [S7-E66]

In this episode, I am trying to cross the only landborder between Nigeria and Cameroon that is currently open for foreigners to cross, due to safety concerns in the North as well as South. But before I get to the border, I have still some distance to cover on the Nigeria side, and these mountains are hard to get across...

“I am convinced that the jealous, the angry, the bitter and the egotistical are the first to race to the top of mountains. A confident person enjoys the journey, the people they meet along the way and sees life not as a competition. They reach the summit last because they know God isn’t at the top waiting for them. He is down below helping his followers to understand that the view is glorious where ever you stand.” ― Shannon Alder.

[@wavemaker2077]

That is quite strange to hear that the Nigerians are not aware that they have highlands like this. Nigerians should travel within Nigeria more. Maybe it is also because the roads are not paved and that's why not many people go to those places. It is indeed difficult to travel in those areas especially by car.

[@juliusgodswill6577]

Those highlands are located in Taraba state. I was priveleged to experience part of it (Gembu Hills). I can assure you that it is the most beautiful scenery you'd see. There's this wildlife park - Gashaka-Gumti spans thousands of miles, stretching to the borders of Cameroun and bounding other states. We made it late so we couldn't enjoy the complete tour. Boy! it was amazing.

You absolutely ARE nuts! But in the best possible way. You have an indominable life force that seems to let you do and get away with things most people wouldn't even dream of trying. I'm in awe. Be safe Ms. Boots.

[@mototakahe836]

The reason that border crossing is open is because they do not think anyone would use that road . Chapeau Noraly. Amazing scenery, says Noraly ,if she dares to look on that road.

[@edidyable]

Nigeria is such a beautiful country with amazing landscape. Next time, travel to the southern areas

[@Cr8wnroyal]

😂😂 Enjoy this because there will be no next time. You should travel south and share with the world!

the south has a rebel war going on lol she isnt going there. This place is already risky enough

Wow..... Thank you so much for showing us the unseen areas of our country... We are kind people in Nigeria.

[@softdoc631]

For the Nigerians in the comment section that didn't know we have such beautiful landscapes, that is the Mambila Plateau in Taraba state. That state is perhaps one of the most blessed, but the government has not just done well. It is an amazing place to visit.

Que emoción más grande ver tus videos. Amo África. Soy Argentino pero mí Padre era Tangerine. Cuídate mucho. Abrazo grande!!!

[@crivensro]

It was a very emotional video for me to watch today. I was brought up in Garoua, Cameroon, and we had friends in Jimeta, Nigeria, who we visited regularly. Because there were (and still are) very few roads across the border, we would go down to Ngaoundéré, Tignère, Tibati and then Banyo and then up north again across the border. The landscapes along this itinerary in Adamawa are stunning. The roads were atrocious and absolutely unpassable in the rainy season. So, seeing that the roads 50 years later are still as atrocious as ever makes me sad that not much has changed. The people in that region are very friendly and very hard working. It is not simple to make a living up there. I thought about your broken hand, just healed a short time ago, and I winced watching you mastering those incredibly challengings tracks. I hope you and your hand are OK! Safe travel! I am looking forward to your adventures in Cameroon!

[@uzoejekwumadu7731]

[@ragbag46]

They are not roads just tracks, many times thought you must be going the wrong way. I see a mosque so Moslem people, some trucks, how on earth on earth did they get there?

[@franklinchukwuemeka53]

@@ragbag46 There are off-roads like this in Europe. The trucks and the new bikes in the petrol station should give you a hint that there is a major road.

[@ragbag46]

@@franklinchukwuemeka53 not 100% sure and I know she loves off-roading, but I thought she said this is the most direct road to the border, I would not be at all surprised, knowing her propensity to take off roads when possible she was doing just that, a main highway would be just too boring for Noraly,he he, also for us, anyway it’s quite obvious the way she handled it all, nothing is going to trouble her too much, wether it’s pesky road guards bothering her for her telephone number or really challenging pathways. Looking forward to how the river crossings go and of course the Cameroon with its problems with rebels. Maybe she will get taken hostage, no, only joking I am sure she will talk herself out of that!

[@crivensro]

@@ragbag46 Very simply THIS IS the road. I know, because I habe been there many times in the past. The roads are so washed out after the rainy season that it will take time to put them a bit in order with a caterpillar if the region has got the ressouces for it. Communities also try to maintain their roads as best they can. You see it in Noraly's video when huge potholes have been filled with rocks. Another solution is to make a track around the worst bits if it is possible. You see that as well in the video. I know it is difficult to blieve, but it is so....Cars and trucks are confined to the villages during the rainy season (an average of 3 months a years) and yes those roads are true killing fields for them. A motorbike has more possibilities to naviguate the horror......Watch also other Videos from Noraly in the mud further North and you will understand what rain, no maintainance and heavily overloaded trucks do to roads in this part of the world.

I had mentioned how grateful I am for your adventures, but this time it helped me even more directly. I had never been claustrophobic before, and while getting an MRI I couldn't finish. At the next appointment I closed my eyes when I felt anxiety rise and imagined travelling with my favorite adventurers on KZbin. I could just feel the open freedom of riding with you in so many places. It helped me through the MRI and I was so thankful I had watched these videos. As they mentioned to hold my breath or breathe while I was being scanned, I just imagined being high up on open mountain roads or beautiful drone shots. Thanks so much.

I spent most of my early 20s to late 50s counting calories, carbs and denying myself food. You, Noraly, have a fantastic relationship with food. You enjoy your breakfast and meals, eating the local cuisine whenever possible. Yes, you are amazing, traveling the world solo on a motorcycle. But I don't think you realize how powerfully you model a healthy lifestyle by taking in sustenance, and nourishment, fearlessly and with joy. You are a great role model to women and girls. You ride for your soul, and feed your body. It's wonderful to witness.
